general problems of the 2017 Honda CR-V - part 2

When driving normal speeds, the automatic emergency braking system activated and brought the car to a complete and sudden stop for no reason. There was nothing in front of me and thankfully, no one close behind me. I am terrified to drive my car now. What if I was in front of a tractor trailer or dump truck and then system engaged again for no reason?.

Collision mitigation system problem indicator light causing random braking and false brake warnings.

All safety sensors on the dashboard are lighting up without any reason. Car is able to be driven properly (for now) but every safety sensor appears when I turn the car on and when I drive the car. From what I've read on the internet, could be a fuel injection problem.

28198 miles on the car. Very dangerous braking event. Going 20-25 mph on access road to the town hall and out of nowhere the crv jammed on the brakes once with enough force to throw me against the steering wheel then a few seconds later a second hard braking episode. I parked the car and when I returned and started it back up. . . I "turned off" or supposedly "disengaged the system" figuring I could drive it home with no incident. A few miles down the road, going 40 mph the vehicle attempted to brake again just not quite as hard even with the acc/lane departure/mitigation system turned off via the control on the steering wheel. Could lose control of vehicle if going fast enough. Getting hit from behind due to violent sudden stop. I intend to have car towed by Honda to the dealership when I am available to meet the tow truck after filing report with nhtsb and Honda. No warning lamps or issue of any kind which is to be expected with only 29k on the car. I did notice that morning the bars which show distance till system is supposed to sense items in front of the car were not being displayed. Normally they are displayed full time and didn't think anything of it till after the braking event. Very dangerous unexpected, no warning braking events.

At approximately 10:15am on 1/7/2023, I was driving down westport road at approximately 45mph. As I approached the intersection at town center drive the collision warning system alert started to go off. There was no car in front of me and the cars on town center drive were at a stop. As I went through the light, without warning, the automatic breaking system engaged, bringing my car to a complete stop. Fortunately, there was no car behind me or there would have been a serious accident.

I was going ~60-65mph on the ronald reagan freeway east bound on a rainy day at ~ 3:40pm on 27th December 2022. I was going on the second from left lane between the rinaldi and porter ranch exits. Unbeknownst to me this part of the freeway is notorious for flooding in the left lanes. I applied the brakes gently to slow down my car. Suddenly, I felt I lost steering, the car skidded the steering wheel turned left into the median barrier. The car then made a complete u-turn in the direction of traffic and flipped over one complete revolution. Fortunately, nobody was injured in the crash and other cars were not involved. There were no warnings and indication that the car was hydroplaning. The skidding safety feature was turned on. I released the car to the insurance company to recover monetary loss and I don't have any information on if it was inspected. Chp has an accident report with number 9580. The reason I am reporting this incident is because, I believe me gently braking to slow down from 60-65 to 50-55mph should not have caused the car to u-turn and flip. I believe the 2017 Honda crv safety system malfunctioned because unbeknownst to the Honda sensing system the car was already hydroplaning. It braked and made some automatic steering and braking decisions that caused the car to turn and flip. I believe the control algorithm of the 2017 Honda crv failed to detect the car was hydroplaning and subsequently executed steering and braking decisions that caused the total loss of my car.

Brake sensor warning light randomly came on. Emergency brake would't disengage. Abs module defective and had to be completely replaced and reprogrammed. Vehicle has less than 75000 miles; one owner.

11/21/ I was driving on a city street at the posted speed limit ( speed limit 25mph) and I noticed there was some road construction ahead that included steel plates on the street. There was no car ahead of me, but there was traffic behind me. I slowed and then braked slightly so I wouldn't hit the plates at full speed. Right then my car literally "slammed on the brakes" and I came to a complete stop before crossing the plates. Everything on the passenger seat flew to the floor and the car engine died. I did see an orange warning but it happened so quickly I don't recall what it was but I'm guessing it was the brake warning. Thank goodness the driver behind me was paying attention or this would have caused a rear end accident! I did not go to the Honda dealer at the time but I read about this same type of issue which I think was caused by the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs). I also read that this system cannot be turned off. It's just a matter of time before a serious accident occurs as a result of this defect in the cmbs system!.

My car brakes itself on my road and it took about 20 minutes of turning it off and back on to get 15 feet to my driveway. My car also started shaking and steering to the right on its own, I had a very difficult time not crashing. While I was on the highway with my 4 year old son in the back seat.

For the 3rd time the vehicle's brakes have failed. First time was April of 2021 when the brakes failed and the car went backwards and did not stop and knocked over my mailbox and went into the road. I then put the car in drive and went forward and had to put the gear in park quickly. I had the Honda dealership examine the car and found no problem. The same problem occurred earlier this year when I backed up and the brakes failed the same way. This time I went into the street. I had the car towed to Honda dealership and they found nothing wrong. Last Wednesday I was slowly pulling into a car space when at a low speed the brakes failed and slammed into a client's building. Damage occurred to their building. I am waiting for the dealership to examine the car Wednesday Nov 2. I am afraid to drive the car.

Driving in my neighborhood there is construction work being done, where metal plates have been placed in the road. When driving over these metal plates, I begin to lightly apply brakes as to slow down driving over these metal plates. The automatic braking system alerts me to brake in the notification center of my dashboard & automatically applies the brakes to a complete stop. This has happened twice now, in the same place of my neighborhood resulting in my seatbelt tightening & the car to jolt myself forward. Eventually this will result in an accident if there is a car traveling behind me the next time I go over these metal plates. This problem has been reported my numerous other drivers of 2016-2020 Honda vehicles and is currently under investigation. After my research, it has become clear to me that when vehicles are taken to dealerships after these incidents they are returned without any indication of problems with the vehicles. I have a small child and often travel with my dog, unrestrained in my vehicle as most pet owners do and am concerned that if they are in the vehicle the next time this happens & there just so happens to be a car behind me, one or all of us would be hurt. Because Honda is taking its time to address this problem, and issue a recall the dealerships will do nothing about it until that point.

The automatic braking system slams on the breaks randomly in the middle of the road if an object out of the ordinary is detected. It has happened 3 times and could have risked my safety/life. Today 9/10/22, there was a metal plate in the road to cover a pothole in memphis TN. I was on perkins in a very high traffic area and my brakes were applied that brought the car to a literal screeching halt. The last 2 times it happened it was when there were orange road barrels on the side of the road.

While driving on the freeway at 65 mph, the car's brakes suddenly went on causing the car to swerve and almost be hit by another car. This is the 3rd time that this has happened in the last year.

I was driving on I-94 in chicago on 6-22-2022 at approximately 50mph. There was no one in front or beside me and the aeb system braked on its own and the "brake" alert on the dash flashed momentarily. The car slowed down about 10-20 mph and I brought it back up to speed. This is the only time it has happened and it was terrifying.

I parked my car in the garage. I can't start it. The light of break system is on.

On Saturday June 18, 2022 at 9:56 a m I was pulling my 2017 Honda crv into a parking space at my local food lion in madison, nc. As soon as I took my foot off the gas pedal and slowly pressed the brakes, the engine immediately revved up, accelerated highly and lurched forward not stopping until I hit an unoccupied vehicle head on in front of me. At the same time side swiping an unoccupied vehicle to the left of me. Thankfully no one was injured. Total of {3} vehicles involved causing several thousands dollars of damage. Was inspected by the police and there were no warning signs; it just happened immediately. When researching on line about problems of Honda crv"s this issue was listed numerous times: unintended acceleration. Something needs to be done about this problem before people are killed!.

The automatic brake system comes on and brakes with nothing in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is moving at variable rates of speed. Sometimes 25 mph on a country road, sometimes 65 on an interstate. This is putting myself at risk and others for a rear end collision for sudden stops for no reason. I did take it to a dealer who did diagnostics and said there was nothing wrong because the last 5 times there was something in front of me per the computer. I can just confirm this has happened many times w nothing in front of me. They also charged me diagnostics for this and when I contacted Honda they just said my vehicle was not one of the ones affected and was not under warranty any longer or recall. The only light that happens is the brake assist light that states “. Brake” and then suddenly beeps at you comes on and the car starts to brake.

Was driving on open road, and the automatic braking system engaged randomly for no reason. Jerked me forward in my seat when absolutely nothing was on the road.

I was parked at a local pharmacy. I put the vehicle in reverse and the car would not move I had to call a tow truck to take my car to my home. I was advised by a mechanic who read my car electronically that it was the rr brake caliper only the left side is responding the right is totally out and that's why it's locked up. I now have to take my vehicle back to the Honda dealership to get it fixed. I've had to get rides to work and unsure if this is covered under my warranty. If not I'll have to pay with funds that I do not have. The vehicle had been shaking slightly as I made stops that day. If I had been on the road I may have been rear-ended if I had to make a stop. There were no warning information messages prior to this incident occurring.

I bought this car on April 30,2022 for $30,000. It had18,0000 (plus) miles. Within 6 months the idiot lights would come on and all safety controls were cancelled. When this first happened, I was frightened that I would be involved in an accident or the car would just shut down. I called a dealer close by and was told by their service manager to take it to an auto store, have them put it on their computer to tell me what was wrong. I did that. Was told I needed an oil change. Had the oil change and things were ok for about 4 days when all lights came back on again scaring the h__l out of me. Had a private mechanic check it out and was told it needed an oxygen sensor. Then the car wouldn't start. Turned out the battery was low, so I replaced the battery. Warning lights did not go on for a couple of days. I then went to the local Honda dealer who told me to bring the car in and for $190 they would use their computers to tell me what was wrong. Can you imagine what chutzpa that takes? they, knowing what the problem was yet charging me to tell me. I am now out of state. Took vehicle into closest dealership for oil change, tire rotation. Told service of dashboard lights, what I had done so far, and asked them to figure out problem. They said I needed $1500 fuel injectors which would have been covered by the warranty but that ran out on length of time. The car only had 30,000 miles but was 6 years old. Suggested I ask Honda for an extension of the warranty to cover costs. The lights are still continuously on now. All safety features are essentially off. I am afraid to drive it in fear of having an accident. I have contacted America Honda for an extension of the warranty and will attach that timeline and phone calls to/from them. The reason for doing this is that I do not believe installing new fuel injectors will fix this problem. I think it is in the computer system itself. And I am in danger of having a crash. 09.

Brake warning activated for no apparent reason and brakes were engaged while traveling at 45 mph and 30 mph on two occasions. Fear rear end collision, but in both instances there was no collisions. Have not taken it to dealer based on research of this problem as reported by other drivers. No inspections were made at the time of this writing. Brake warning light came on with no time to react and brakes were engaged without driver intervention.

Driving around 18mph, I was approaching a small bridge when the brake message appeared simultaneously to the automatic braking of the car. Luckily, I was going slowly, no one in front of or behind me. It was extremely abrupt and frightening. I cannot imagine what might have happened if I had been going faster.

I was driving down the road going about 45. All of the sudden the orange brake warning came up on my dash, the car beeped, and the brakes engaged themselves and I came to almost a complete stop. There was nothing in front of me. But there were cars behind me. I’m lucky I didn’t get hit from behind or cause and accident.

While driving on a two lane road with no cars ahead and approaching a narrowing bend in the road with an on-coming car in the opposite lane, the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly gave a beeping warning and applied braking. After slowing the vehicle considerably, the emergency braking ceased and normal driver control resumed. Vehicle following was fortunately not following close enough to avoid rear end collision. This has occurred twice before while pulling into a garage and while passing a parking lot beside road where a car was backing close to roadway without entering roadway. No cars in lane ahead, following, or on-coming.

On April 3 2022 at 7:00am I was driving north on eastlake in seattle, wa. I was going 25mph and there were no other cars in front or behind me as well as none on either side of me. My 2017 Honda crv exl suddenly braked throwing me against the steering wheel and throwing items in the car to the floor. There was no warning message displayed on information panel. I let off the gas instantly and then was able to continue going. Car is now at Honda of seattle to diagnose issue.

Dashboard lights come on while driving, emissions problems, lack of power and engine light flashing . When I start it 2 out 3 times can feel a light vibration and has vibrated while driving.

I was driving my 2017 Honda crv on Saturday, March 26th in the evening hours and suddenly the brake system light came on and the system slammed on the brakes without any cars in front of me or anywhere in the vicinity of my car. I did not initiate or touch the brake at all.

In multiple incidents, the car's automatic emergency braking system engaged while driving on clear roads with no obstructions in front or to the sides of the vehicle. The vehicle has not yet been damaged and is available for inspection. There was no warning from the car before it engaged the brakes. The car slammed the breaks and I lost control of the vehicle and could not prevent it from applying the brakes. This has happened both on city streets and on divided highways. It seems to be most likely to occur in areas where there is a slight bump in the road or some uneven road surfaces that are perfectly safe to drive over if not perfectly flat. My safety and the safety of other drivers around me was put at immediate risk due to the sudden and completely unpredictable nature of this. I was nearly rear-ended in one incident. This has occurred at road speeds over 40-50 miles per hour, making any sudden necessary braking extremely dangerous. The problem has not been reproduced by a service center, but I have encountered it multiple times over the lifetime of the vehicle. Recent service appointments at a dealership showed no issues on inspection. There are absolutely no warning lamps or messages that appear before the braking occurs. Normally, the emergency braking system flashes a warning and audible signal before engaging brakes. However, this does not happen with these incidents and the braking engages immediately without prior warning along with the emergency braking visual and audio alerts. The issue first appeared about 1 year after purchase of the new vehicle from a dealership and has occurred once every year or two since.

While driving at 45 miles per hour on a divided highway, the automatic braking system engaged. There were no cars anywhere around me at the time. This is the second time this has happened.

Five times by vehicle used the braking system to stop my car while driving. It was late at night when the braking happened. I just thought the car saw something on road which caused this to happened. Each time it was a very hard stop.

Randomly, on at least three occasions our car activated the brake system and gave us a 'brake' warning on the dash when no obstacle or vehicle was in front of our car. I read of this problem being reported in the media and thought it was important to record our experience with NHTSA.

On five separate occasions, my Honda Cr-v, the collision mitigation braking system (cmgs) slammed on the brakes and stopped the car when I was approaching a flat plate on the road. I had no vehicle even close in front of my car. The brake light flashes everytime this happens. On four of those occasions, I have narrowly averted being hit from behind. Thank goodness, I had slowed down to under 25 mph, but everything in the car went flying. My safety, the safety of my dog who was tethered in the back seat, the safety of my grandchildren in the back seat and the safety of the car behind me in traffic was at risk. I have found that this system can be turned off, but this has to be done everytime the car is started. I can see other reports of this problem on the internet. My next step is to take it to the dealer.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the brake warning light illuminated and the brake engaged independently and the vehicle decelerated. The contact stated that there was no vehicle nearby during the failure. The contact was able to continue to drive to her residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,750.

While I have been driving the automatic braking system will engage bringing the car to a stop. This has happened on several occasions while I have driving on the toll road at 65 miles/hr and on residential streets. Each time the car dramatically slows and the orange brake like flashes. These incidents have occurred with no cars surrounding my car, it just occurs out of the blue. I'm reporting because this occurred this past weekend and it brought my car to a dead stop slamming me and my passenger, our seat belts stop us from hitting the steering wheel or glove box. I thought there would be a recall to correct, but I have not seen any notices from the federal government on this matter. I thought I better report. Note: the last incident happen 2/19/22 while driving on residential street.

On three occasions - most recently on may 22, 2022 - the emergency braking system stopped the car completely for no apparent reason. If there had been cars behind me, all 3 times would have cause collisions. Dealer service department would not acknowledge the problem, even though I explained I had read about other complaints. Vehicle has not been inspected for this specific issue. No warnings prior to the random failures.
