NHTSA complaint #11560339 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE CAR HAS STARTER ISSUES, I'VE REPLACED BATTERY, KEY BATTERY AND HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT RELAYS, STARTER AND PUSH BUTTON STARTER, COULDN'T FIX IT. ALSO DURING RAIN, THE CAR HAS LEAK PROBLEM ON THE ROOF AREA WHERE THE INDOOR LIGHTS ARE LOCATED. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THE WIPER BLADES DON'T TOUCH THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS AND STILL DON'T HAVE THE BLADES TOUCH THE WINDSHIELD. I DRIVE CAR TO WORK 3 DAYS A WEEK AND BEEN PATIENT ABOUT IT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND HAD ONLY 17000 MILES. BOUGHT GAP INSURANCE DUE TO IT BEING USED CAR. WHEN RAINING IT'S PARKED WHEN IT LEAKS DURING HEAVY RAINS. IT'S TAKES 5 TO 10 ATTEMPTS WHEN TRYING TO START. I BELIEVE THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT BUT NOT REPORTED. I PURCHASED IT IN 2018, IT HAS SOME BODY DAMAGE BUT DIDN'T QUESTION IT. HAD BAD TIRES AND GOT NEW ONES. LATELY I'VE NOTICE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START. LOOK AT ALL FUSES. STILL NO STARTER FIXED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHECK THESE ISSUES, EVEN HONDA COULDN'T SOLVE THE STARTER PROBLEMS.
NHTSA complaint #11366965 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL BOTH LOCKED UP, SO I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR IN ANY WAY. AFTER THE VEHICLE DRIFTED ACROSS SEVERAL LANES, IT HYDROPLANED, SPINNING SEVERAL TIMES. AT NO POINT DID ANY OF THE VEHICLE'S MANY AUTOMATED STABILITY FEATURES ACTIVATE, INCLUDING ABS. HAD I COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE I LIKELY WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. I WAS LUCKY INSTEAD TO WRECK IN A DITCH, AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE RETURNED CONTROL OF THE WHEEL AND BRAKES, BUT STILL THE ABS DID NOT SEEM TO ACTIVATE. FURTHER, THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED A SECOND OR TWO LATE, AFTER THE CAR WAS ALREADY UPRIGHTING FROM HAVING ROLLED ON ITS SIDE. I SUSPECT THIS SCENARIO MIGHT BE EXPLAINED BY A DEFECT IN HOW THE SOFTWARE RESPONDS TO SENSOR READINGS OF SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS.

THE VSA AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FREQUENTLY COME ON AND THEN IF I TAKE THE VEHICLE OVER 2500 RPMS I WILL LOSE POWER AND THE ENGINE WILL STUTTER. THIS HAPPENS IN ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHETHER IT'S CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY
NHTSA complaint #11360879 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON FOR MY VEHICLE INDICATING THAT I HAVE PROBLEM IN ALL AREAS OF THE CAR. THIS IS A 2018 HONDA CRV. THIS CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND THE RELAY MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS CAR IS TOO YOUNG TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AT THIS POINT. BECAUSE I AM AT 37,000 MILES, HONDA IS TELLING ME THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY OF THE CAR AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE RELAY MODULE WHICH IS A MAJOR EXPENSE. AGAIN THIS CAR IS TOO YOUNG TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS CAR OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.
NHTSA complaint #11360662 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE I PULLED UP AND PARKED REACHED OVER TO GET A MASK OUT AND THE CHIME WENT OFF. SO I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND FOUND THAT THE DISPLAY WAS SAYING POWER STEERING WAS DISABLE THEN THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR THEN THE ENGINE THEN THE BRAKES AND IT JUST KEEPS CHIMING IN DISPLAYING EACH MESSAGE FOR ALL LISTED ABOVE. I RESTARTED THE CAR HOPING IT WOULD CLEAR THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. HOPE THE WARRANTY COVERS IT AND TOWING.
NHTSA complaint #11360022 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE DRIVER SAFETY ASSISTANCE SYSTEM DISPLAYS A SERIES OF FAILURE NOTIFICATIONS ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. INCLUDES BUT NOT LIMITED TO LANE DRIFT, REAR COLLISION ALERT, PARKING BRAKE, CRUISE CONTROL AND NUMEROUS OTHERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN MOTION OR WHEN PARKED. POHANKA HONDA HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. ONCE 3 WEEKS AGO AND THE LAST EFFORT WAS 12 HOURS AGO. CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS BEING A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ALL REPAIRS BUT UNABLE TO UPLOAD.*DT

I HAVE 2019 CRV AND I RECENTLY BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIPS FOR RADAR SENSOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO INTERMITTENT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER NOW IT PICKS UP SIGNALS OR OBJECTS THEN AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES EVEN WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR (IE. NO OBSTACLES IN FRONT OF THE CAR OR OBJECTS). A PERSON BEHIND ME HONKED THE HORN AND ABOUT TO HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. I JUST TALKED TO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 3 OR MORE TIMES NOW.

NHTSA complaint #11341150 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ON MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2020, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM TARGET IN COLLEGE POINT. I WAS DRIVING ON 20TH AVENUE, A TWO-WAY LOCAL STREET, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BRAKED. THE WHITE VAN BEHIND ME STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME. STEPPED ON THE GAS, AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE, THE ENGINE JUST REVVED A LITTLE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED FORWARD A LITTLE, AND THEN BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN. I MADE A LEFT-HAND TURN AND PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING WAS STUCK IN THE WHEELS, OR UNDER THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR SERVICE STATION, TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE BRAKES, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, THAT THEY WERE FINE. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER, AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I WAS IN 9 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 8 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT WE WILL BE HAVING BRAKING PROBLEMS EVERY 8-9 MONTHS WITH THE VEHICLE.

ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2019, I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION GOING 25 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AT THE LIGHT, AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING. WE COLLIDED WITH A CAR COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THAT WAS TURNING LEFT. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. WE ENDED UP DRIVING OVER A SIDEWALK, INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN I TURNED IT OFF.

NHTSA complaint #11331033 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WE HAVE A 2017 HONDA CR-V. ON APRIL 29, 2020, I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR ANY OTHER OBSTACLE IN FRONT OF MY CAR. WITHOUT WARNING, AND ON ITS OWN, THE CAR'S ORANGE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A HARD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE ITEMS ON THE BACK SEAT WERE THROWN TO THE FLOOR AND WE WERE THROWN FORWARD IN OUR SEATS IN THE FRONT ENOUGH THAT THE SEAT BELTS ENGAGED. THIS WAS INSTANT AND THEN IMMEDIATELY THE CAR RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NOT HEAD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE AND THAT HONDA DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL FOR THIS YET. THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE - FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS BEHIND US, BUT SUPPOSE THERE HAD BEEN OR WE HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MORE TRAFFIC AND LARGE TRUCKS.
NHTSA complaint #11322936 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WE WERE TRAVELING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, TUESDAY, 4/28/2020, . OUR SPEED WAS 35 MPH. OUR HONDA CRV SUDDENLY CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES OF ANY TYPE IN OUR PATH TO CAUSE THIS. THERE IS SOME TYPE OF FAULTY SENSOR CAUSING THIS AND IT NEEDS TO REPAIRED/REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CRV'S, 2017 & 2018 MODELS..
