5 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2020

1. Numerous people including myself have been affected by this car draining a brand new battery and leaving people stranded and needing a jumpstart. My car is currently at the dealership again to have this issue looked at, last time they told me I needed a new battery, now they can't give me that same reason since my battery is brand new. 2. My instrument panel wouldn't dim making it extremely bright at night and difficult to see the road. Honda had to replace the entire system. 3. My car randomly flashes a collision warning "brake" while beeping so loudly when there's actually nothing in front of me whether I'm on the freeway or side streets and this I believe is the most dangerous problem of all since my car has the ability to brake for me if it senses a collision, and my car braking abruptly for no reason could be what gets me into an accident!.

6 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/29/2020

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.

7 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/28/2020

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. .

8 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/19/2020

All electrical system show error.

9 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2020

I have a 2017 Honda crv. This is the second time I had the same issue. All my warning light electric parking brake problem, charging system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, hill start assist problem. Are back on. When this happens for the first time dealership tole me their was an update to the system which will fix the issue. Month later I am having the same issue.

10 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2020

While driving normally with no traffic or obstacles in front, all Honda sensing suite features randomly fail and trigger a series of warning messages flashing sequentially on the hud indicating a problem with the following: lkas, collision mitigation, braking, adaptive cruise control, and road departure mitigation systems. The brake pedal becomes stiff and brakes feel unresponsive but sometimes engage to stop the car even if stopping is unsafe, such as driving on a highway with no cars in front. This happens randomly in different environments at different speeds. Rain, sun, hills, traffic, no traffic, but it is difficult to replicate the issue. The sensors trigger a false positive thinking there is an imminent collision even if driving 35 mph on an empty road. It also triggers when following a car with warning tones and automatic braking. The car feels like it is rebooting itself in the middle of a false but self-induced crisis. I have narrowly avoided collisions because the car took over control when not needed, only to turn off all safety features and warn that there is a problem with the braking system. The dealership service department claimed it was a low battery, but replacing with a new battery does not resolve the issues. The service department then tried to claim driver error after deleting trouble codes, with no explanation how "driver error" can cause the same error messages to display on the hud as all of the plaintiffs of a class-action lawsuit say the same thing.

11 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2020

On 1/8/20 when I started my car in the morning all warning lights came on before leaving the driveway, and stayed on all the way to work, and back. Then again the following morning. I called Honda on 1/9/20, they advised to come in sooner than later. Car is at Honda now 1/10/20, they are stating all codes may be due to two codes that need to be fixed: p0302 (fuel injection), which is covered under warranty and u0129 lost communication with braking system due to a/c control unit - which will cost me $1630 for a car with only 60,000 miles on it! of note: the car's emergency brake while driving has triggered a couple of times, and all warning lights have come on before in heavy rain.

12 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2019

All warning systems for safety features lit up for no reason. Vehicle lost 80% of power and could barely get it home.

13 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2019

This morning as I was driving I went through a 4-way intersection. I was half way through the intersection when my car announced lane departure. At that time the vehicle shot over to the right and hit the curb at the end of the intersection. I shredded my tire, and had to place the spare on the vehicle. I have been to Honda multiple times for these electrical problems. While driving I have been go at a speed around 45-70 mph, and the vehicle will flash brake. At that time the vehicle's brakes will lock up. There was no one in front of me for any the occasions. Honda told me to switch my ez pass responder to make sure that wasn't causing interference. I switched it, and it kept occurring. This morning the concerns I brought up at my last service about what if I get in an accident almost became a reality. Luckily there was no one on the corner waiting to cross the road. The Honda dealership keeps telling me there will be an update, but something needs to be done now. Lives are at risk. If I knew how to go by doing a lemon I would. I started reporting issues at 18k, and have constantly been doing reporting occurrences were the vehicle has malfunctioned.

14 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2019

Driving on highway at 70 miles per hour in beautiful 80 degree weather day on an August afternoon - no rain, no obstructions - when all of a sudden the dashboard lights up with warnings on the adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation system, brake failure, lane assist system - everything flashing and beeping. I immediately turn all the assist systems off but things still lite up and warning. When I am safely able to get off the highway to stop and turn car off and turn it back on all the warnings go away and appear to be fine. Sensors are clean and clear of obstructions. This is not the first time this has happened. Very scary! I keep the car clean and the sensors clean and unobstructed. Less than 25,000 miles on this car and it has had issues of not starting and dashboard flashing numerous times. Dealership actually toured it in on one occasion when it wouldn't start. Couldn't find anything and had us pick it up. Next morning would not start again. They finally replaced the battery. This was supposed to be a safe, reliable car and now I am afraid to drive it any distance with fear of failures.

15 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2019

While diving randomly at high speeds (60+ mph) and while turning in very good weather all warning lights light up (I have a video) and the vehicle loses power. This has happened a number of times on the highways and a major safety concern. I had to pull out of the highway stop and restart for the vehicle to regain power but the warning lights continue to be lit. After a couple of start and stop it disappears. It is a major safety concern and I have been lucky so far. I have approached the dealership thrice about the issue and they have replaced 2 sensors and updated the software but the issue persists.

17 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2019

Every indicator light came on and flashed on my dashboard when I was driving, as well as a cruise control malfunction when I was driving on the highway, causing the system to shut off cruise control. The indicator lights that flash on the dashboard when this error occurs are as follows: brake system problem all wheel drive system problem tire pressure monitor problem electric parking brake problem road departure mitigation system problem collision mitigation system problem lane keeping assist problem adaptive cruise control problem hill start assist problem vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem anti-lock brake system problem power steering system (eps) problem I have had these lights go off multiple times in different contexts. The first time I was in a parking lot and turned on my car and all indicator lights came on, the second time this happened when I was driving on the road, the third time I was parking my vehicle and then the indicator lights came on. I have brought my car to my Honda dealer three different times with no solution. Each time, eventually the indicator lights go off, usually after starting and restarting the car or rebooting the computer causes them to turn off.

19 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/28/2019

My car was in motion I was making a right turn into the highway when my car just stopped. I turned it off, when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't. I started to smell something burning. So I just left it alone. Only the lights on the dashboard and the radio turned on, I was able to control the windows. The warning lights that came up were the electronic power steering, charging system, and the check engine lights.

20 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2019

While driving my car simply slams on the brakes out of no where. There was nothing in front of me. I was traveling approximately 45 miles an hour on an exit ramp when the car beeped, flashed brake, and it braked even thought my foot was still on the gas. The seat belt tightened up and the car stopped. Once it realized there was nothing there, it began to accelerate like a rocket ship. This has happened before on sunny days when it must have misread shadows on the road as objects and again, slammed on the breaks. If there had been a car behind me this morning, I have no doubt I would have been in a serious accident. What is wrong with this? I had brought it to the dealer before and I was insulted that they said my car was dirty. I would have died! if their sensors cannot function in a michigan spring, they need to do something!.

21 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/19/2019

I was driving my Honda Cr-v (2017 model ex awd) on a highway at 40 to 50 mph speed. It was raining at that time. I experienced big jerks couple of times and lost the control on the vehicle. Saw error message on the dash board saying 'lost traction and cancelling cruise control'. It was horrific experience.

22 Electronic Stability Control problem

Car stalled. And vents smell of gasoline, gear shift is loose. Almost got in a car accident with my toddler and husband in car.

23 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2019

Driving on a highway, 65 mph, with acc cruise control on. Suddenly it deactivated. Warning light for acc/ road departure mitigation/ collision mitigation and brake system problems warning indicators came on. Brake system warning was particularly stressful. I tried brakes and they seemed normal but acc definitely did not work. Tried multiple times to turn off system and turn it back on to no avail. Windshield was clean as was front sensor area. As I was on a highway I couldn't stop. An hour latter, while still on the road warning lights went off and all systems were available. Dealer was unable to determine what had happened. Now a month later same happened again and system recovered in about an hour while still driving. Lane keeping assist system was still working while the other systems went out so the camera was still functioning. Car seemed to function normally while these systems were out. As a former mechanic,police driving instructor and crash reconstructionist I know that this can not be caused by "low gas" or "gas in the oil". This is an electronics problem. I have also had the tire monitoring system malfunction three times.

24 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2019

On 3-11-19 at 6:14 pm I was driving with my wife on a parkway. Weather was clear and sunny, 39 degrees. There were no cars in front of me. I had the cruise control set at 61 mph when suddenly my vehicle put the brakes on disengaged the cruise control and lane assist control . Then a code flashed up saying 'auto high beam problem'. After a 15 minutes to reach my home I checked the high beams it was fine. In the last 4 weeks I have had code flash on the screen while I am driving saying system failure, for 5-10 minutes.

25 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2019

Yesterday I got in my car to head home from work. When I turned it on, I got a number of systems alerts, including the engine, brakes, power steering and others. I was able to get the car home, but when I was going to take it the dealership, the car sputtered and seems to be losing power as if it would stall. This is the third time that I have gotten system alerts and taken the car to be repaired. The first time, the oil was changed and a software update performed. The second time, a software update was performed. This time, I checked the oil and it was over full and smelled of gas. The car is now at the dealership for them to determine the issue. I live in texas. The first time this happened, was during the summer. The last two times have been in winter.

26 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2019

My vehicle's warning lights are on for all features, including lane assist, stability, collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, tire pressure monitoring and many others. These features are currently not working. The first time the issue occurred was immediately upon starting the vehicle. I've taken it to two different dealers three times. The third time, I was told there was a problem with a fuel valve -- part of a Honda "campaign," whatever that means -- and that replacing/repairing the issue could take up to 60 days. I was dismissed from the dealer and told that the issue would not make my car stop working, and that I would be contacted when a part arrived. Meanwhile, my car is idling rough and I smell gas upon starting it.

27 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2019

While driving, safety systems go offline. Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, collision mitigation braking system, and others all go offline at the same time. Appears to happen at random. First visit to dealer, we were advised they did not see any codes and there was no malfunction at that time. Next visit, all the systems were still offline from earlier in the day and they performed some software updates which reset everything. Next day, safety systems went offline again. We took the vehicle back to the dealer where it is right now and they are advising that it is a fuel issue and gasoline is getting into the oil . No explanation how or why this is causing the safety systems to go offline and become inoperable. Have contacted Honda multiple times along they way, currently waiting on a case manager to call back.

28 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2019

2017 Honda crv parked in garage, when attempting to start engine, dash lights up warnings and sounds alarms on braking system, cruise control, lane assist system, battery, and many other areas. Car would not start and goes dead with second attempt to start. Dealership had car towed in to diagnose. Dealership state that toll tag too close to sensors (even though tag has been on windshield for 18 months with no problem). Toll tag scraped off windshield. Six weeks later, car in garage and dash lights up with alarms and sounds with same alerts. Car goes dead. Dealership had car towed in to diagnose.

29 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2019

Braking system and other sensors have been coming on and off without cause. For example, brakes are engaged even when I am alone on the road and not braking. The cruise control will not engage at times and warning lights appear for no reason. In addition, blind spot monitor comes on when no cars are in vicinity. I had my software updated for recall but same issues. I just want to send complaint for others who may also have same issue with Honda crv. When I complained before I was told it was likely weather related but recently this happen even when weather was great, no rain etc. As a side these so -called safety features need to work best in rain and other bad weather. Error message go away when I park and turn off car. These malfunctions generally occur during highway driving.

35 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2018

The problem that we are experiencing on and off for more than 1 year while driving the car is warning lights all coming up and disabling the key safety features: brake system failure, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, and adaptive cruise control problem. This happen at normal city driving, freeway driving, with cruise control on and/or with cruise control off. The car is still operational but with warning lights. When you turn off the car, and restart the issues may or may not go away. When it does go away, it will randomly occur again. This problem happen when we had the car for 3 day old after buying it brand new and took it back to dealer and they look at it and did a software install. But, it never corrected the problem. We have live with this issues for more than a year now and are now fed up. We are frustrate of the thought of bringing it to the dealer and having the same thing happen to us again.
