    My car came to a complete stop once while i was driving in the middle of an intersection and once just on a straight road. This happened twice, and i went flying forward and all my stuff on the seat went flying. There was not a car in front of me. They said it must have been reading something to do this, and it's to protect a possible pedestrian. This is an accident waiting to happen . I called honda of joliet to…

    The heat in the car dose not work when it is cold out. Auto start does nothing to warm the vehicle. The vehicle needs to be driving continuously to have the temperature gauge move. Once the gauge is 1/2 way up and i turn on the heat, the gauge drops all the way down. No warm air comes out, also effecting the defroster. If i have ice or fog on my windows the defroster can't keep up severely impairing my vision, not…

    The vehicle has a known issue by honda with unsafe levels of oil dilution in the 1.5 cvt turbo engine. Gas is mixing in with the oil, causing oil levels to rise. The fumes of gasoline are entering into the cabin space and making it unsafe to breathe. The engine is also having stalling issues due to gas mixing in with the oil in the engine area. This also has an issue with the ability to keep the car warm and…

    The lockout button on the side of the transmission shift lever popped off, preventing the vehicle from shifting out of park. This can obviously cause the vehicle to be disabled. The service technician at the honda dealership said this is a common problem with 2017-2018 honda cr-vs, but i couldn't find a recall for it.

    The gear shift button mechanism broke as i was parking when my car only had 5,312 miles on it. This is a dangerous safety hazard as the gear shift button mechanism broke without warning and can make it so one is unable to shift. The honda dealer at ocean honda in north hollywood, ca, replaced the gear shift button 12/17/18 but it is not shifting smoothly now when i put the car in reverse.

See image 2, that is after i restarted it after…

    Along with my gas in the oil tank issue, the car does not heat up any longer. It was 37 degrees here in ny and my car is only outputting cold air. I've taken my vehicle to the dealership already and they could not fix either issue. I am extremely frustrated.

    Infotainment screen will randomly flash, dim and beep. This has caused several safety issues including high level of distraction and failure of the navigation system at all the wrong times. This happens randomly when the vehicle is in motion or stopped. The problem has been reported to the dealer and they have failed to find a solution. They claim no one else has reported similar problems. This is laughable due to…

    Cr-v rolled backwards twice, once when the engine was off (oct. 2018) and once when it was running (may 2019). Both times the gear shift was in neutral. I believe the gear shift slipped into neutral, perhaps by my banging into it. I have driven for 27 years and never had this problem. I most recently drove a toyota rav4 with a similar layout in terms of location of the gear shift. Drove it for 9 years without a…
