Owners/service Manual problems of the 2017 Honda CR-V

1) pushed ignition button and put gearshift into r to back out of garage 2) gearshift nob spontaneously popped out onto mat 3) couldn't shift into p, only n 4) car on incline driveway into street that was busy with morning traffic 5) required to keep foot on brake while looking for nob 6) after several minutes, found nob and was able to put back into place and shift gear into d and drove back into garage and then put gear into p 7) extremely dangerous! nob could have been irretrievable with no way to keep car from sliding into traffic other than with foot on brake; no other way to keep car from moving; no manual braking method available 8) subsequently on internet search, this is known problem 9) was able to drive to dealer and have mechanism replaced in 1 day.

The shifter button on the left that you have to press to change gears broke and popped out. Cannot engage the shifter to change from different gears unless you manually press the mechanism inside down. Huge problem. Happened when we came home and went to put the car in park. Button broke and popped out while still in drive.

Center console unit refuses to dim under any lighting conditions. Attempting to manually dim it results in momentary dimming and then return to full brightness. This makes it very difficult to see at night and requires that I shut off the center unit completely in order to drive safely. According to Honda this is a known software issue on the whole range of 5th gen crvs but they have not issued any fixes.

While I was driving a lighting on my dash broad came on and my car started to make drive funny. I had pulled over and looked in the manual to see what the symbol stands for. It stated, something is wrong with the electrical system and advise me to turn my SUV off and wait. I waited for ten minutes, when I turn on the car all the lights where flashing on the dash broad, the radio had came on but the windows won't roll down. I waited for 15 minutes the car won't start and all the lights started flashing on the dash broad. I received a jump but my car was still doing the same thing. I had to buy a new car battery but that one in and once I started the car all the lights on the dash broad came on again and turned off once I started to drive my car. Occasionally, it happens every once in awhile. Tonight after work I put my car in drive the damn button on the handle came off!!!!.

Car parked at store. Placed 6 yr old child into car to unload cart without fear of parking lot drivers. Trunk open at that point. Child asked for a/c (94f outside - hotter in car). With the remote, I performed "remote start" sequence. This did not work with trunk open. I closed trunk, performed start sequence, re-opened trunk to load groceries. After done, I closed trunk, moved cart to front of car. Meanwhile, inside car, my child hit the start button. This placed the vehicle into auxiliary power mode (think radio on without engine running). Hazard to life: once car is in auxiliary mode, if the doors are locked, the car cannot be opened in any way from the outside. The key remote will not work open car (car will beep only once each time). Touching handle to unlock does not work (again one beep). The trunk cannot be opened with remote, with the hands-free feature, or with the normal "open buttons" on trunk. Child was locked in a hot car with no way to get to her!! child could not open windows by herself (don't know if it wouldn't work due to auxiliary mode or if she didn't know how). Ultimately I was able to talk her through manually unlocking door, but if she was experiencing a medical emergency or did not have the intellect, this could have had a very bad ending. I have the top of the line model, with all the optional safety features (mirrors, sensors, everything), yet something like this still happened. There needs to be a fail safe! how many children could climb into the car and inadvertently lock the doors while "play driving" by hitting the start button, placing car into auxiliary and parents cannot get in to them! omg Honda - please fix this ASAP before someone dies.

Collision mitigation system is malfunctioning when driving over metal plates: during construction, metal plates were put on the road where I work. They do not stick out, area flush with the street, and are about 4 feet wide. Every time I get close to drive straight over them (at probably 20-25 mph), my car slams onto the brakes and comes to a complete stop. If anybody were behind me, they would rear-end me. A colleague of mine bought the same car and has exactly the same problem. I had my car checked out at a Honda dealer and they told me everything is working properly. The system cannot be turned off permanently, so I have to turn it off manually every time I start the car. This is very dangerous, as somebody will get hurt soon if somebody is behind me and there is no reason I would come to such an abrupt stop.
