2016 HONDA HR-V Complaints

IT FIRST STARTED OUT BY WHAT I THOUGHT WAS JUST A ISSUE WITH ME HAVING THREE NEW TIRES BC IT WOULD DRIVE AS IF IT WAS SCRUBBING. ONE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM A HAIR APPOINTMENT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CAR WENT FROM BEING IN DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND FLASHING WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SO FROM THAT MOMENT ON I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND HIT THE ELECTRICAL PARK BRAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. CRUNK BACK UP AND WAS ON MY WAY. SO TODAY 11/30 WHICH IS A WEEK LATER I WAS AT THE RED LIGHT STOPPED AND ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND GENTLY PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO. SO AFTER STILL LIGHTLY HITTING THE GAS PRAYING IT WOULD MOVE ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD FOR ME TO PARK IT IN FRONT OF A STORE; I MADE IT DIRECTLY OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE STORE PARKING LOT. ONCE I GOT IT THERE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON. I THEN RIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND REVERSE AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. ASSUMING IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT NONE OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DAHS CAME ON. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN OCCURING A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW, THE MONITOR SHUTS OFF AND ON IN THE CAR AND GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL HONDA LINK SCREEN EVERY TIME IT RESTARTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHERE TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT ANYTHING HITTING IT FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARDS FOR NO REASON. WE PROCEEDED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR. WE HAD TO USE OUR INSURANCE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS AND ARE OUT $500. DEDUCTIBLE FOR WHAT WE FEEL IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT FREEWAY SPEED IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE NOISE LEVEL WHEN IT OCCURRED WAS EXTREMELY LOUD.

2016 HONDA HR-V WITH JUST OVER 18000 MILES HAS HAD OCCASIONAL START BUTTON PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES I AM REQUIRED TO PRESS IT A NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS OR ENGINE STOPS. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. IT APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016 HR-VS...I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON THESE START/STOP BUTTONS.

2016 HONDA HRV - INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING (PUSH BUTTON START); KEY ICON REMAINS ILLUMINATED. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID IT MUST BE THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB (REPLACED REPEATEDLY WITH PROBLEM RECURRING) UNTIL FINALLY AT 49,000 MILES THEY SAID IT WAS SHOWING CODE B12C5 START/STOP SWITCH HAS FAILED. DIAGNOSIS $144 AND REPLACEMENT $302 TOTAL $446. IT TOOK 10 DAYS FROM DIAGNOSIS TO COMPLETED REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. THIS WAS BIG DEALERSHIP/SERVICE DEPT. SEEMS THEY WAITED TILL CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEN TOOK THEIR SWEET TIME GETTING THE PART WHILE I WAS WRINGING MY HANDS WONDERING IF THE CAR WOULD START WHENEVER I WENT SOMEWHERE. NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT VERY UNSAFE! PLEASE RECALL THIS PART -IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDAS.

THE KEYLESS IGNITION BUTTON ON A LESS THAN 3 YEAR OLD CAR FAILS TO START THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER BACKUP MANUAL KEY TO START THE ENGINE. THIS LEAVES A DRIVER HELPLESS AND STRANDED WITH NO VEHICLE STARTING OPTION.

A LIGHT WITH A KEY ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO APPEAR AT RANDOM AND THEN IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON. AT FIRST THE HRV WAS SLOW TO RESPOND TO THE START/STOP BUTTON AND THEN IT EITHER FAILED TO RESPOND OR WOULD NOT RESPOND WITHOUT MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE HRV WOULD NOT START AT TIMES OR IT COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. I CHANGED THE BATTERIES IN THE KEY AND THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE HRV IN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THE START STOP SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PAID FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR QUOTED TO REPLACE THE SWITCH SO THAT I COULD START AND TURN OFF MY CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION. GRATEFUL FOR THE FIX BUT AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE THIS SEEMS LIKE FAULTY/DEFECTIVE SWITCH ISSUE, PERHAPS ONE ALREADY KNOWN TO HONDA.

2016 HONDA HRV WITH 70,900 MILES SUDDENLY LOST POWER AT 55MPH ON HIGHWAY. ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO SHOULDER AND STOP.

2016 HONDA HRV HAS WATER IN BOTH TAIL LIGHTS AND IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER.

THE PUSH START BUTTON ON THE CAR ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THEN REAPPLY AN TRY AGAIN MULTIPLE TIME TO TRY AN GET THE CAR TO START, YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE BUTTON ONCE AN TWICE REALLY FAST AN KEEP DOING IT OVER AN OVER TIL THE CAR FINALLY STARTS AN YOU HAVE TO DO IT OVER AN OVER AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD.

MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE, MY CAR SCREEN FOR MY MILEAGE, GAS TANK HAND, AND ALL OF THAT ELECTRICAL STUFF WILL COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. WHEN IT SHOWS BACK UP MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL HAVE CRAZY LETTERS AND START FLASHING. THE ICON WITH THE KEY HAS RECENTLY POPPED UP ON MY DASH WHICH STANDS FOR SOMETHING BEING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
