36 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 11/24/2018

On 11/24/2018 on I-81 near staunton va. During heavy rain and holiday traffic at 70 mph in left lane passing tandem 18 wheeler on incline with 18 wheeler close behind car suddenly entered "limp" mode. Car began missing badly with no power and began slowing to a drift. Could not move right, pulled as far left to guard rail, right side car wheels still in passing lane, traffic swerved around the car. At aprox. 10 mph I had a slight break in traffic and was able swerve across traffic to right side. Surprisingly the car idled fine. Backed down right side 1/4 mile to exit, drove in "limp" mode to Honda dealer. The dealer had found the car had enter limp mode because water had entered into the maf sensor and intake tube. The air box had not been properly sealed likely during a dealer service 1 week prior. The air filter was wet and replaced. Intake tube and maf sensor pulled and dried. My issue in writing this is the car should not enter "limp" mode and cut power just because a sensor reports in bad. Cars are designed to crumple to absorb impact and save the drivers but yet here "limp" mode is designed to save the equipment actually puts the occupants and in my case others on a crowded intestate highway at risk. A car should never be designed to put its passengers and those around them at risk as this crv did in my case. Limp mode is a very very bad idea.

Failure Date: 10/27/2018

While driving down a country road at 55 mph with open fields on each side. The brake warning light came on, the audible warning signal sounded and the bakes slammed on hard. Then went off. There was nothing on the road in front of us. The collision mitigation braking system failed. Second time this has happened.

38 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2018

Vehicle was parked and would not start suddenly after being off and not on accessory mode. When vehicle was jump started and when vehicle restarted the dashboard read many errors among them, break system error, road departure mitigation system problem, vehicle stability assist problem. I have been the sole owner/driver of the vehicle and get it serviced at the dealership as advised.

39 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2018

My car radio/map console was going crazy for a month. Hard to duplicate problem. By turning off the engine and back on problem went away. Until 9/21/2018, that problem transferred to on steering wheel master console where every alert went off from engine, tire, . . . , brake--really scared. Took car immediately to my nearest Honda dealer for repair and found they had to replace my vtc. In doing so, problem went away. Now it March 2020, some days my audio/map console goes crazy. Not sure when my steering console will go crazy again. I do not have any pictures or vidoa but if you google it others have similar problem.

40 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2018

Car has been in motion and stationary when all dash lights come on, no systems work according to the dashboard. When dash lights with every single warning light comes on while driving, all power and acceleration is lost. This happened to me in an intersection the other day and luckily the crv was able to coast to the side of the road where the crv was unable to accelerate again until I turned the car off and back on. I have read numerous blogs with others having this issue. Vtm-4 pops up on the radio screen as a problem. Honda claims to have fixed this issue on the 2019 models yet no recall on 2017 and 2018 models? this loss of power and control of the vehicle is especially scary since I have 2 young kids that right with me daily. Cruise control won't work, remote start hasn't worked since this issue started around 60-70k miles. Honda needs to fix this major problem!.

All system safety lights and warnings are showing.

43 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2018

VIN: (xxxxx) vehicle mileage: 28,903 description: I am learning that the radar that controls the emergency braking system, adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation, collision mitigation etc. Is only protected by a "pop off cover". I am deeply concerned over the lack of protection when it comes to such a critical component of my 2017 Honda crv. I am being faced with a minimum $1,100 (part only) bill to repair damage to my cars radar sensor mounted in the front grill. I have had other problems with random "detection" computer messages on the dashboard and now for this piece of plastic to be popped off by a small piece of debris on the road that was kicked up from the road by a vehicle traveling in front of me is ridiculous. Why would something so important be mounted dead front of the vehicle and not properly protected? I'm looking for a better option to have this resolved. I am practically a "life time" owner of Honda products. And over the years I have increasingly become more and more unimpressed with what I fell in love with at the beginning of my Honda journey.

44 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2018

I was driving at about 45mph, and had to stopped in median of road to turn right. All of a sudden my Honda crv 2017 stopped and all dashboard lights started flashing, it started showing all the following problems. 1) brake system problem 2) brake hold system problem 3) airbag system (srs) problem 4) power steering system (eps) problem 5) anti-lock brake system problem 6) vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem 7) hill start assist problem 8) adaptive cruise control problem 9) collision mitigation system problem 10) road departure mitigation system problem 11) auto high-beam problem 12) tire pressure monitor problem 13) all wheel drive system problem 14) lane keeping assist cannot operate 15) seat belt warning on and beeping even though seat belt was being worn. I tried to turn off, and turn on, nothing happened. Exited the vehicle, checked the car. No physical damage. Tried to start 2-3 times more, still no luck. I called the roadside assistance, and towed the car to dealer. Dealer kept the car for 4 hours, and called me that it was low gas issue, and charged me $88. I am sure it was not low gas, and even if it was low gas, car warning should tell its not starting due to low gas. It should not be that all 15 errors start showing on dashboard.

45 Electronic Stability Control problem

Was driving normally when abs, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency breaking, and breaking system "problem" lights lit up all at once. Limped the car home.

46 Electronic Stability Control problem

47 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2018

Driving highway suddenly car slows and dash reads that all systems- brakes,steering, and, etc failed. Pulled car off road safety. Shut car off. Restarted. Problem went away. Checked on Honda owners website. This is an ongoing problem with no fix. Scary when all systems could be compromised.

48 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2018

The vehicle does not heat up when idling which mean remote start to clear the ice from the windshield and warm the cabin does not work. Honda told me it has to be driven to produce heat. They've replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system. I have to drive to work down a decline for 8 miles. After 4 miles the engine gauge begins to rise and then by the time I reach 8 miles (bottom of the hill) the engine temperature gauge bottoms out back down to the cold. The heat that may have started how ever feeble is now once again cold. Any ice on the windows is still there because the whole car inside is still cold. If it wasn't for the heated seats I'd freeze to death. The service manager came to take my car one morning and saw this happen. He was told by Honda the engine doesn't produce heat with out a load on it. This vehicle should never have been sold north of ohio. It is unsafe. I also have a strong gasoline smell in my oil that will soon be taken in for. Also, the safety features all become inactive because of a little rain or snow. The Honda dealer recalibrated them but it still happens. The lack of heat on idle is unacceptable though.

51 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2017

Since purchasing my Honda Cr-v 1. 5 turbo in 2017 I have experienced two episodes of my car stalling out while driving on nyc streets. On both of these occasions I narrowly avoided getting rear ended and being forced into the car in front of me, due to the fact that the car behind me swerved to avoid colliding into me. I have also experienced many failures of my Honda sense system whereby my adaptive cruise control system failed, my road departure mitigation system failed, where my audio power went off, my auto high beam system had failures, which lead me to feel very uneasy driving my vehicle. At all times, my vehicle was in motion. I have experienced these system failures while driving on city streets as well as while driving on country roads and also while driving on highways! this was not a one time occurrence. These things have happened many times!.

52 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2017

Vehicle has an issue with activating its collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) for no reason resulting in unnecessary slamming of the brakes. This has occurred at least five times over the last five months. It was first noted at around 12,000 miles and has happened at least 4 more times (we are now at 20,000 miles). In some instances, the vehicle was travelling at over 60 mph on the highway and slammed on its brakes on its own. There were no objects in front of the vehicle and we were following a straight lane. Luckily, rear-ending accidents that could have resulted from this have been narrowly avoided. There was an instance in which the vehicle braked and an 18-wheeler behind it had to slam on its brakes and was swerving uncontrollably for at least 300 feet. A lemon claim has been filed, but Honda is refusing to acknowledge the issue because it has yet to happen while their technicians drive it. Please note that we have put 20,000 miles on this vehicle for it to happen 5 times (an average of once every 4,000). Technicians are extremely unlikely to experience the issue while test driving the vehicle 10 miles. This issue jeopardizes the safety of all passengers of this vehicle. We truly hope Honda sheds light on this issue to prevent unnecessary loss of life.

53 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2017

Multiple times while driving warning indicators on the instrument panel begin to flash (road departure mitigation system, lane keep assist system, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking system and brake system light). When this happens, these systems no longer function. This has happened at high and low speed with adaptive cruise control on and off, on highways and freeways. Each time, I find a place to stop, turn the vehicle off, and back on again and the systems are fine. This has happened 5 times, the first being within 2 months of purchasing the vehicle new and the last being yesterday (2 1/2 years after purchasing the vehicle) I have taken it to the dealer several times, but they say they cannot replicate the issue and find no error codes so nothing can be done. Documentation has been given to the dealer on each visit. This definitely seems to be a safety issue to me. I have had multiple other electronic issues as well which I will address in another complaint.

54 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2017

Without any reason the autobraking/collision system has engaged twice when no cars or animals on the road one time going 55mph and another time going approx. 40mpg. In addition the display screen (radio etc. ) does not dim. It stays full brightness even with adjusting it. Honda had to fix when vehicle was brand new after I had to fight with them that this is an issue. The screen blinds me at night because it is very bright so you can't really see the road. This stays bright stopped or moving. Lastly, not a safety issue but auto high beams also had an error while driving.

55 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2017

Faulty Honda sensing was driving at approx 35mph when crv slammed on it's on brakes by itself for the 2nd time thank god no one was behind us, high beams come on when close to on coming traffic blinding on coming traffic, blind spot indicator comes on when no one around, blind spot indicator doesn't come on, when cars in blind spot,didn't see car in my blind spot and cut car off because blind spot indicator wasn't working. Burning wire smell inside cab. Most of these problems have been happening since approx Jan 2017 less than 1 month of owning car. I can't list just 1 day its happened because it's happened multiple times over and over. Crv has been in shop 5-6 times for these problems with no luck of fixing them.
