While driving the vehicle, the "collision mitigation braking system" activated for no apparent reason. Honda owners manual states this has 3 stages of warnings. This particular incident was definitely a stage 3 warning. I was driving at approx. 40-45 mph on a straight stretch of road with the closets vehicle in front of me probably a 1/4 mile ahead. The car all of sudden braked very hard for no reason to the point…

Happens shortly after starting the car and commonly when the vehicle is in motion. If you use a usb stick to play audio through the car stereo will temporarily freeze and requires you to press the screen again to resume the music playing. This isn't much of a safety concern except if this happens when you are using the rear camera to back up. The screen will stop showing a live feed and just show what is showing…

My 2018 honda crv touring with 1.5l turbo engine had had a problem with the smell of fuel fumes in the interior cabin since the time of purchase. When you turn the air on with the air coming from the outside vent, especially when first starting the car, the smell of gasoline fumes is apparent, which is also a serious health safety concern as inhalation of fumes is definitely bad for your health. Every time i check…

I have a 6 month old crv. Since i bought it in feb 2018, i have experienced issues with the bluetooth hands-free calling function. I can hear calls fine, but the person on the other end cannot hear me due to background/ambient noise. The issue is specifically exacerbated by speed - 40 mph and above, getting worse as i drive faster. This presents a safety issue because i find myself having to fiddle with my phone to…

The automatic gear selector has no indicator on it. Additionally, depending on angle driver is sitting, it appears to be in a different gear or position than actual selection. I have had three near misses due to this design. From being in neutral and rolling down hill backwards when i thought i had it in drive, to being in neutral instead of park. After 30 years of driving, this is the first car i've driven that had…

Today, i was driving along the highway when my sunroof suddenly and spontaneously exploded. Visual inspection showed that the sunroof exploded outward and there was no debris or impact that would have caused this breakage. I was driving with my infant son when this occurred. Luckily, i had the shade closed.

Had backup sensors installed by the dealership, jenkins &wynn; clarksville, tn. The back up sensor beep volume is so low that they are inaudible to myself. My wife can barely hear the beeps. The sensors cannot be heard at all if the vehicle audio is turned up at all. The backup sensors user's information manual does not provide any warning stating the beep volume is extremely low/inaudible to hearing impaired…

Today my wife went to church she used a purse that is small and had the key fob in a tight outer pocket. She noticed when she came out the windows were down and the sunroof was open ! Lucky it was just starting to very lightly rain ! I know you press unlock and then press again and hold down to do this function but i guess the tight purse did that on its own. Would like to disable it if possible. There needs to be a…

2018 honda cr-v ex. Since i purchased new excess in jan 2018 fuel is getting into the crankcase and diluting the engine oil. Have to change my oil every 3,000 miles. Sent several oil samples from my cr-v to a lab and it comes back highly diluted which will eventually cause premature engine damage. Also, during the winter months when temps are in the single digits and below my cr-v cannot hold a normal engine…

The mechanical design of the turn signal lever (joystick, as i call it) is such that it requires too little pressure in order to be pushed forward which activates the high beam headlights. In simple terms, using the turn signals turns on the high beams accidentally on this vehicle. This causes a couple safety issues. Firstly, other drivers and oncoming traffic could be unnecessarily blinded by high beams if i have…

Returning to maryland from indiana in several locations along i-70, i-79, i-68 auto braking engaged for no reason at all.

Vehicle is locked overnight. Key fob is on storage hook. In the morning, the windows and sunroof are open without driver intervention. Happens randomly at other times as well. There is no way to disengage the "quick cooldown" feature which is somehow being activated randomly without driver intervention. Obviously a safety issue when car is parked in public areas. Honda denies problem. Hundreds of similar complaints…

The hands free phone feature has essentially been unusable since i have had the vehicle, which i purchased new in november 2017. The person on the other end of the call hears so much distortion, background noise, and acoustic feedback that they cannot hear what i am saying, worsening the faster the car is going. Have had the car to 2 different dealerships, a total of 3 times. They have 'updated the software' and…
