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…

The honda dealer where i purchased the vehicle is aware of this and recommended an oil change. 48 hours later my oil is completely diluted with gasoline again. There is a strong gas odor in the cabin of my car which is a health hazard to myself and my…

Gasoline is leaking into the engine oil. A warranty repair was done jan 2019 to resolve the problem but in sept 2019 the engine oil was noted to be above full and smell of gasoline. The car was brought in for further repair but no further repair is available and because honda claims this to be "a normal characteristic" of the car, no oil change was done either. However, the honda 2018 cr-v manual clearly points out…

2018 honda crv ex: mileage 20,165. Upon accelerating while pulling the car on main roadway, the car dropped from 50mph to 25mph and then wouldn't reach past 35mph, the engine light appeared and started to blink. Pushing the gas pedal only aggravated the situation. About a mile later the car stopped/stalled trying to go up a hill. I turned off car, waited 10 min and restarted. Was able to go another 1 mile to home, i…

The vehicle sputtered , did not want to run, and stalled a few times before i wound up at the dealership. I also noticed that when the little wrench came on, for a notification of the first oil change, that the vehicle made a loud growling noise. The vehicle is sitting in the dealership right now waiting a…

I purchased this 1.5 turbo and found out later the gasoline flows into the oil pan mixing together. Honda says this is a common occurrence and i disagree . While purchasing this honda , the dealership never mentioned this situation. I feel that i purchased this honda cr-v , 1.5 turbo under fraudulent terms. Everyone knows that when gasoline is mixed with oil, the oil protection is reduced proportionately.…

Cr-v with now 6000 miles on it gets oil in gas. Oil changed at dealer twice. Dealer says honda knows about this problem, but my car vin not included in recall. Have contacted american honda but was unable to get fix authorized. This car is defective and under warranty. Getting fix should not be a problem! Gas in oil may also be a fire hazard.
