    This past summer, i was driving by myself when all of the sudden, the infotainment center (the screen that controls everything and is at the center of it all) started beeping uncontrollably and the screen's brightness setting started going from full brightness to full darkness. I had no idea what was going on. I was terrified and almost got into a car accident, rear ending the car in front of me. I became very…

    The display in the middle goes blank while i am driving a lot. Last time i was backing out when it did which cause my car to have serious scratches on it. At the same time the back up seemed not to be working either. My son made a video of it happening one time when he is in the car. Also the radio is lock and does not display what is playing like it use too. Also sometimes when i am switching lane with my blinker…

    My new honda cr-v 2017 has a safety defect. The headlights fog up when it rains or after i wash the car. Condensation is formed inside the glass headlights making visibility dangerous especially on cloudy days or after sun set, especially at night. This happens whether the car is stationary or moving while driving on a rainy day. I obviously can't take pictures while i'm driving, but i've provided a few pictures of…

    Center console / infotainment system will not dim at night, nor can it be adjusted. It stays at maximum brightness. The console displays light even when off and adjusting the volume knob turns it back on. It also may spontaneously come back on when off. Once the issue appeared, it could not be resolved with a reboot or hard reset. Having a bright light source close to the driver at night in a distraction.

    Without any reason the autobraking/collision system has engaged twice when no cars or animals on the road one time going 55mph and another time going approx. 40mpg. In addition the display screen (radio etc.) does not dim. It stays full brightness even with adjusting it. Honda had to fix when vehicle was brand new after i had to fight with them that this is an issue. The screen blinds me at night because it is very…

    Audio head unit (7" led panel on ex-l) on dashboard does not dim at night. When you try and move the dimmer slider on the unit, it tries to dim, than goes back to full brightness. The dealer has tried to fix this for over a year, and it's still not fixed. Doing a quick google search shows many others having the same problem. This is a safety issue because it's too bright at night and affects/interferes with night…
