Blind Spot Detection problems of the 2018 Honda CR-V

The car suddenly would not go over 10 mph. All driver-assistance was lost. The dashboard was rotating warning alarms that all systems were not functional. It turned out to be the result of a faulty engine design that necessitated a head gasket replacement!.

The car randomly reports multiple malfunctioning of all safety components: adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, tps, hill start assist, braking, vehicle stability assist after various time period, the warnings go away and then they restart at a later point. Mechanic reported a computer readout of p0301 which is a cylinder misfire detect. A misfire should not cause safety feature on the Cr-v to sttop working.

While driving the entire driving assist system warnings started flashing (lane assist, blind spot, acc, etc. ) resulting in a solid system break light, with none of the safety features functioning. In addition to being very distracting while driving, had I not noticed the warning lights going off , I would not have known that the safety system was off. It is very easy to miss while focusing on driving in a rainy day like today. I am writing to you directly since the last time I emailed Honda about a confirmed sw bug that results in the screen going dark, they told me it is not a safety issue and requested $180 for a sw update. When your screen goes dark when you are driving after changing the brightness on its own, and you don't see the backing off warnings, or camera, I would say it is a safety issue. While I am not writing about this specific issue, I don't trust Honda to do an honest assessment. I am unaware if Honda researched this issue yet, but have seen reports online about this issue.

Turn my car on and every light on my car is currently flashing saying nothing safety wise is working. Googled it and it seems to be a major problem that Honda isn’t fixing.

Sep 25, 2022, en route from columbus, OH to wv our 2018 Honda crv started flashing a plethora of warnings regarding braking problems, blind spot failure, lane assist failure, collision mitigation failure, and many other driver assistance failures. We pulled off the interstate, into a service station, at the nearest exit. Once the car was stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic emergency brake would not release. We had the car towed to the local Honda dealership in zanesville, OH. On oct 3, 2022 the zanesville dealership contacted us to pick up the car; they had replaced a wiring harness and control module over the rear view mirror. They said the wiring had “melted”; they said they did not have the expertise to resolve all the warnings but that the car could be driven. We picked up the car on oct 8, 2022. Within 20 miles, the car was not only flashing warnings but also constantly beeping. We made it to bruceton mills, wv before stopping for gas. Again, once stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic parking brake refused to release. The car was towed to the I-79 Honda dealership in morgantown,wv. That dealership has master electronic technicians. That was 2 months ago and the car is still there. The dealership has been in contact with Honda, inc but they simply cannot resolve the electrical problems and are awaiting a Honda field technician to troubleshoot. This was a systemic electronics failure that incapacitated all of the electronic safety features — making the vehicle unsafe to drive.

I was driving through a green light at 40mph with no vehicles in front of me or next to me and in the middle of the intersection, my dash flashed with the warning to "brake" as it "detected" something in front of me. Within less than 2 seconds my vehicle lurched to a complete stop with the brakes totally locking up the vehicle. The brakes thudded to stop my vehicle entirely in the middle of the intersection. Within a couple more seconds the vehicle was totally fine and let me proceed. I was lucky I wasn't rear-ended and I'm very glad the light wasn't red by the time I was able to go through it. I was carrying my entire family in the car and everyone was so worried about riding with me that I automatically pulled over and disabled the automatic emergency braking system altogether. I've not turned it back on for fear of the vehicle getting me into an accident. I have also received blind spot warnings with nothing in my blind spots. Most specifically, I was in the right hand lane and put on my turn signal to switch into the left hand lane, and my car audibly beeped and flashed its lights. There was not a vehicle or even a barrier to my left that it could have sensed. The sensor just totally gave out. It's at the point where I do not trust anything about the car. I won't even use cruise control because I don't trust that the car's "safety features" are actually safe enough to protect me. I have not had the vehicle inspected due to the fact that this seems to be an issue with other vehicles and I can't afford a mechanic to tell me there is nothing that they can do.

While driving the error warnings lit up the dashboard display to include brakes, power steering, and other sensors. Lost electrical power steering and had to park the vehicle and have it towed to a Honda service repair shop. Less than 38,000 miles right after 36 months of a lease. Service repair estimate $3900 dollars to replace the electric power steering box.

Believe fuel mixing with oil. Information center on car keeps rolling thru system saying things aren't working. Happened initially spring 2021 and again now oct 20 2021. Changed oil and problem went away. Initially took it to a shop for service and had code which I believe was p37 but going on memory. Took to dealer and since service had already done oil change dealer could not find problem. Happened again today oct 20 2021. At dealer now and did not turn car off so they can see code.
