The button on the gear shifter cracked when pressure was applied by my thumb when trying to shift from park to drive causing the vehicle to not be able to shift in and out of gear. Fortunately the car was in park at the time instead of drive or reverse. After the gear shift button cracked the key would no longer release from the ignition.

When pulling into a driveway at a friends house, i could not shift the car into park. I finally got it into neutral and worrying that i might have to have it towed, i put the car in reverse and had intentions of parking it in the street. When i got it into reverse, the shift button broke off and spring fell on the ground. Ended up getting it to the honda dealer on 01/07/2019 who apparently has seen a lot of these.…

The shifter knob, honda part no. Honda 54132tlaa62zb, fell off during use. This locks the transmission in whatever gear was last used - a potentially dangerous situation. The heritage honda service advisor tells me that honda is experiencing a lot of these failures.

User interface (ui) for radio operates inconsistently. Began having issues within a few weeks of owning the vehicle. Touchscreen repeatedly freezes, goes black, or the volume is unable to be controlled. Frequently the volume will go all the way to the highest level alone or while you are trying to adjust it up/down. The only solution for all of the radio issues are to roll the windows down so you don't lose your…

When i went to put my car into park (car was stationary in a parking spot) the knob was missing and nowhere to be found. I was unable to put the car into park. I had to ask a stranger to look around the floor bed and other possible places so i could exit my vehicle. It randomly pops out (while driving) and i am constantly looking for it. How can i safely drive a car when i might not be able to put the car into park?

Engine oil was 1 quart overfull. Oil smells like gasoline. Engine oil visibly thinner than normal. Reportedly, this problem is systemic with cr-v's as ours with the turbo 4 cylinder. The gasoline should be evaporating due to engine temp; but, it's not -- as a result the gasoline dilutes the engine oil and causes the oil level to rise.
