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

On October 6, I was driving my 2017 Honda Cr-v and it automatically slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road. There were no cars in front of me, no pedestrian, nothing. It was a very strong jolt and I was lucky no car crashed into me due to the sudden stop. This had not happened previously. I took the car to a nearby dealership on October 11. The problem could not be replicated by the dealership. At first, the dealership wanted to blame it on a dirty sensor and close the job. Because I had looked at the NHTSA site, I was persistent that they look at the software. They did say they found a bulletin for updates and that the radar system needed one, so they completed it. I am concerned that most car owners may not even know this is a possible issue until it happens to them and that dealerships may not be aware of this issue and write it off to something else because it can't be replicated immediately.

Four different times when driving through an underpass. My car instantly slammed on the brakes. Almost causing an accident the last time. I took it to the Honda dealership after 2nd incident and they could not find the problem. Happened twice since then.

On 8/25/23 around 6:45am, I was exiting the gas station parking lot going around 15mph, and the car slammed on the brakes. The abs engaged itself even though there was nothing in front or around me. I knew I didn't step on the wrong pedal, because the abs indicator that says "brake" came on and this only comes on when the abs senses something in front of the car. All the stuff on my seat flew on to the floor. This happened once before a few years ago. A few times in the last few years, the car has been glitchy and "brightness" starts blinking uncontrollably on the screen. Sometimes if I shut off the car for a few minutes it will resolve but sometimes not. We purchased the car new and have been the only drivers.

The engine failed and I was stranded 60 miles from home. All the dash lights were blinking and I couldn’t get the parking brake to unlock . It is available for inspection . I was stranded at a service station with another senior citizen for three hours in 100 degree plus weather. We were stranded and our safety was compromised as we waited for help . I had it towed to a dealer 20 miles away . Rented a hotel and got an uber to the car the next morning . The auto repair person examined the car and determined that the turbo fan had disintegrated and was sucked into the engine . After further rested he reported the engine had failed and it would cost $8 000. Many of the lights and sensors suddenly began to blink . The car lost some power but we were able to limp to the gas station . Hello rhonda, here are my technicians findings, due to the metal moving through the oil passages he recommends replacing the engine and turbo "verified engine running rough. Retrieved operative dtcs p0299(pgm-fi) and u0416-68(idss). U0416-68 likely caused by millimeter wave radar software. Rec. Update. P0299 and rough running. Turbo underboost issue. Road tested and captured snapshots. Found turbo not boosting. Found intercooler and pipes not leaking. Found evap purge not leaking. Inspected and found turbocharger turbine damaged. Turbine debris through intake system from turbo to throttle body and into intake. On road test dtc p2101 electric throttle control malfunction was set and vehicle entered limp mode. Found significant debris in throttle body likely causing dtc. Suspect debris has entered engine and potential cause for further problems. Can only speculate cause for turbo failure. Oiling system may be cause. Teardown would be necessary for further identification of cause. Engine and turbo replacement recommended" please let me know if you have any other questions I can help answer. Liz payne parts & service director stirling Honda 360-423-3350.

Today July 5 while driving on local streets at approximately 35 mph my brakes activated. As quickly as they activated they released. It all occurred in a matter of seconds. The instrument panel brake warning light flashed "brake". I was not alone in the vehicle when this happened and my passenger was as surprised as I. There were no other vehicles in the area. My car has approximately 51,000 miles. It is the first time this has happened. I have not reported this to my selling dealership but will contact them regarding this event.

Cmbs system in Honda crv 2017 driving 25-30 mph on a clear day (sunny, dry pavement) when the brakes engaged without warning (beeping sounded, but I didn't see the "braking" sign in orange blink) car stopped hard, I jerked forward in the seat. I was able to drive the car back home (less than a mile away). There were no cars in front of me and fortunately none in the back of me so this didn't cause an accident. I'm afraid to drive the car in case the brakes engage suddenly and causes a rear end accident. I called my local Honda dealership and made first appt available 7/11/2023. This follows 2 incidents where all warning lights flashed (5/8/2023) and (6/17/2023) (including brake system light) the codes pulled were about cylinder misfire at a Honda dealer (on 6/17/2023 - cma valley Honda).

Our Honda 2017 Cr-v awd ex randomly braked in traffic causing the car behind us almost rear-end us. We had no warning at all this would happen. No warning lights were on. My wife, myself and our 3 year old were all put at risk. We are waiting a call back from the Honda service department. . Read more...

The 2017 crv stopped with no apparent reason whatsoever. We were driving about 45 miles an hour with my family in the car and for no apparent reason the car engaged is braking system. There were no cars in front no pedestrians nothing. This is happened several times and I'm afraid to put my new 17-year-old driver behind the wheel. We had a near miss and almost got rear-ended I hope that they can come to a resolution as to this issue because obviously there is one.

My 2017 Honda Cr-v decided to brake all by itself while driving on the highway going 65 mph. This incident first happened to me in may 2023 on a clear sunny day with my 1 month old baby and fiancé in the car. My fiancé thought I slammed on the brakes but in fact I did not, I was on the highway going 65mph. I was so scared because I didn’t even know my car was capable of braking on its own until that day. Everything in the vehicle flew to the front of the car, luckily no one was behind me or in front of me at that time and we were all okay but we were shaken up. The second time it happened, I was with my fiancé again on a backroad about a month later with no one in front of me or behind me, again on a clear day and my car slammed on the brakes by its own. From that second time on I always turn off my collision mitigation system hoping it makes a difference and does not do it again. I love my car but it is a complete hazard if it brakes on its own with no warning prior to it happening. I did call Honda to see if this was an issue or if there was a recall but the lady told me there is no recall at this time and this was the second time she has heard of this. I do not know what will cause the car to brake on its own, I can’t replicate it on demand, it is very random. I made sure my sensors were not obstructed and were clear. Hopefully Honda will do something about this issue, this is completely unacceptable.

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.
