The ignition is keyless. I pressed to turn off the engine and it shut off. But i forgot to shift into park. I exited the car. The car started rolling backward. I ran back to it, jumped in and shifted to park, stopping the car. If i hadn't noticed and stopped the car, someone might have been hurt. When you stop the engine, there should be an automatic shift to park or an automatic activation of the emergency brake.

I have had numerous problems with my crv, most recently a complete malfunction where car did not go over 10 mph and dashboard lights all flashing on alert. Honda mechanics told me this was my fault for overfilling my oil tank. Wanted to charge me $2500 for a new catalytic converter. After much negotiating they lowered cost. However i have since seen this is a common problem with this model and should have been…

Lights, windows and sunroof all opened spontaneously overnight while parked in the downstairs garage of my home. Remote not touched. Read online of many cases not so lucky that opened during rain storm resulting in a soaking wet car. Apparently there is no option to turn off control that might trigger this. Will take photo for documentation if it happens again

While driving on slick roads i was using blueooth to have a telephone conversation. A car swerved in front of me causing me to swerve to avoid an accident. The bluetooth disengaged and i heard the doors automatically click to lock (they were already locked). I assume these are built in safety features. When i came to a stop, the electronic door lock overrode the manual lock for the driver side door and would not…

The navigation/infotainment display works intermittently while driving the vehicle, it becomes unusable and also just blacks out so if you are using the navigation while driving it becomes inoperable and the only way to correct it is to pull over turn the car off and restart it which is dangerous. Honda has stated that they are aware of the problem but have no solution yet.

At random times while driving the infotainment screen randomly starts flashing and beeping. With the brightness control bar popping up at the bottom of the screen. This is very distracting to the driver while operating the vehicle. This has happened three time while the vehicle was in motion on at highway speeds and while driving in traffic. The only way to stop this is to turn the car off. This is a big saftey…

There are recurring problems with the infotainment system display: 1. Numerous times the display has gone full freak-out while the car was in motion. The display turns itself on and off, attempts to adjust its own brightness and repeatedly beeps. The only way to stop the madness is to pull over and shut the car off. This is a totally uncool thing to happen when one is trying to pay attention to the traffic around…

Radio screen randomly starts adjusting its brightness. The first time this happened was 4/32/19, but it has happened to me multiple times since then all while driving and there is nothing i could do to make it stop other then restarting the car. It is very distracting because it is constantly beeping while it is trying to make this adjustment. I tried turning the radio off, this did not help. I was told by the honda…
