Cruise Control problems of the 2018 Honda CR-V

2018 Honda Cr-v. Consumer writes in regards to engine shutting off, defective heater, gas in the oil.

Adaptive cruise control "on". Two incidents in the past year the car's braking sytem activated as if I were going to hit something. I was on the interstate and no cars were within 500 to 1000 feet and no other objects were observed. Then twice in the past month the flashing "brake" light appeared on the dash panel indicating I should slow down as I may hit something. Again, this occurred on the nterstate and no cars or objects were anywhere near me. This last incident occurred on 01/01/2020.

09/2019- traveling the interstate in fast lane in rush hour traffic approx. 79mph vehicles in front of & numerous vehicles behind me. A vehicle in the right lane switched lanes in front of me causing mine to hit the brakes, locking up, smoke coming from the rear of vehicle. The vehicle behind me was in the median the 2nd vehicle was inches from me. My passenger (child in back) safely strapped, had a whelp & burn on right side of neck/chest from seatbelt. Solution do not use cruise control. 11/2019 on vacation the vehicle showed low tire pressure light on the dash, pulled over to check the pressure, all tires were okay. Traveling on a 3 lane busy highway,in the mountains the brake would engage along with the steering, jerk to the left, "lane departure" on the dash. It took all of my strength to pull against the vehicle keeping it on the road. No guard rail on the road. Pulling against the steering prevented my crv from going over the mountain. I could not have the econ on, if on, the highest speed I could reach in the crv was 35mph. With the econ off 45 mph was the highest speed the travel speed of the other vehicles was between 65-70mph. This continued throughout the trip. I took the crv to the Honda dealership once I was home it was kept for a week. They feel like a software update solved the issue. I later contacted the dealership to let them be aware the issue was not resolved. Said they made Honda aware, but did not. I had a case with Honda, but nothing has been done. My emails not replied and the messages left on the voicemails, not returned. I have contacted numerous times, spoken with service representatives and assured my call would be returned, nothing. Dealership stated they no longer will be able to help with any issues. This is frustrating. My life as well as my children are important although Honda isn't thinking the same. Major defects in the 2018 Cr-v.

Vehicle was traveling westbound on I-90 in massachusetts in the travel lane at between 65-68 mph. The cruise control was not engaged; the lane keeping assist feature was not active. It was around 7:00 pm. No cars in the passing lane. A tractor trailer was about 200-300 feet in front. The dashboard chimed and displayed the following three warning messages: collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist system. The first time each message was displayed a chime sounded; the messages continued to rotate through the display for the next thirty minutes. The messages stopped when we got home and put the car in the garage in park. Additionally, the light for 'brake system' (near the temperature gauge) came on. I brought the car in today for service (it just happened that it was scheduled for an oil change); I told the service advisor about what had happened; the technician working on the vehicle said no codes were being displayed. He took it for a ride but could not get the messages to come up (it only happened one time). The service advisor said it was probably 'just a glitch'.

Driving down the hwy with cruise control on suddenly get errors listed below, has happened twice. Errors automatically clear after car is turned off and back on. Cruise control and other sensing features unavailable while errors show on dashboard. Errors: brake system, adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation system problem, collision mitigation system problem. Car has approximately 22k miles.

This is about my 2018 Honda Cr-v ex with around 14,700 miles at present. My whole family and a friend went to yakima,wa for cherry picking. On our way there from seattle,wa while driving using adaptive cruise control (acc) and lane keeping assist system (lakas) suddenly a warning from the screen appeared that says. . . "power reduced - power grille problem" and then we can not accelerate the speed. Luckily we made it to the shoulder of the highway for emergency park and wait for 5 to 10 minutes until the warning goes out from the screen. When it goes out we start the engine and start driving again and after 7 to 10 minutes the warning goes on again ,stop and goes again for the third time and we decided to turn off the acc and lkas and drive in a lower speed 60 to 65 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone. The next morning I checked the engine oil fill compartment and the engine oil dipstick and found out they have a strong gasoline smell. Gasoline leaks to the engine oil compartment. When I checked the dipstick , the oil is dripping like water with blackish color because of the gasoline mixed to the oil. I reported it to the dealership for service and told me not to drive the car going to them instead the towing company (aaa) do the job to take it to the dealership. And the day when I picked up the car they told me that the gasoline I smell from the compartment is normal due to combustion. I asked them to check the engine oil dipstick to prove to them that it smells gasoline and dripping like water with blackish color (this is a newly changed pure synthetic engine oil /90% remaining). They did not check the dipstick and told me they can do nothing about it and told me to it's normal. They said it's safe to drive my car. I'm just hoping this problem be resolved very soon.

3 time while driving on the fwy 65 mph with the cruise control activated, lane control activated, and the distance set to minimum, with no one in front of me, the car detected the car to the right of me and slammed on the brakes, and causing the person behind me to slam on their brake almost causing an accident. This happened between April of 2019 and oct of 2019. When I brought it into the dealership they said that there was dirt on the milliwave radar, found code p2583-97, I found this to be highly unlikely because the car was spotless. The second time I took the car to the dealership, they said the could not duplicate the problem. When asked how they diagnosed the car they said they drove it 10 miles down a bolsa chica rd. I told the sevice person that that was not the same conditions as I was driving and that they could not have gotten the car up to 65 mph when the speed limit was 45 mph and it wasn't a fwy. Her response was we are not allowed to drive cars on the fwy. I said then how are you do duplicate the condition of the problem. This car has been into the dealership for multable electronic issue, none of which have been solved yet. All I get is the same answer, cant duplicate the problem. I believe this car has had these problems since it was sold new and the person before me turned this car in with only 8000 miles on it for a new car that they could trust. This is a safety issue ad could cause me to get into an accident thats not my fault.

Tl the contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. While driving between 55 and 60 mph, the brake warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated independently. In addition, while driving with the cruise control engaged, the vehicle decelerated from 58 to 45 mph independently. Don ayres Honda (4740 lima rd, fort wayne, in 46808, (260) 484-0551) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,700.

I have had an issue with the adaptive cruise control multiple (10-12) times. The Cr-v seems to "lose" the car in front causing it to accelerate (if the person in front of you is going slower than your cruise is set for). Then when it "finds" the car again and it brakes suddenly. I took the car into the dealer about a week and a half ago complaining. They could not reproduce the issue and sent me along with no fix.

2018 Honda Cr-v bought new, only has 475 miles and getting collision mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist problem warning lights are on and we cannot set the adaptive cruise control or use any of these safety features. I've found a blog that has many instances of the same problems and worse to include brake failure. We are taking it to the dealer, brandon Honda, brandon FL tomorrow. This should not happen on a brand new car.

The cruise control is hypervariable - when combined with a lane warning system, it dropped us out of cruise (at 70mph) when passing a large truck in the right lane. Very unsafe to be all of a sudden in the left lane slowing down when we we trying to speed past the 18-wheeler. Dealer said the 'sensitivity' of the lane warning system 'caught the truck creeping close' to the line -- we didn't see that at all. Also, the lane warning system is quite intermittent - only about 2 out of 5 times does the right hand warning signal something (like drifting near a shoulder) as designed.

I purchased my first Honda cr-b 2018 at the end of sept. 2018 and today is Nov 4, 2018 and this car has been out of order for @4 weeks. The cruise control system, lane departure system, vehicle distant control system, and the brake system lights are all lit up and flashing. None of the systems that are supposed to aid in driving safety is working. The systems stopped working while driving. Two trips to two different dealerships and the issue has not been resolved. I will make a third trip on the next business day.

Fatal acc/lkas "Honda sensing problem" with "amber warning light" on dash, and system all locked up while on i75 on the way home from work. When I exited at the light, I turned-the-car off and it cleared the error message. Cruise control was not engaged. New car. Only 1-day old. Called and reported to dealer but not response yet. Appears to be a serious safety violation based on internet search of other customers with same problem. Recommend priority assignment with Honda.

Tl-the contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that at start-up, there was an abnormal vibration coming from the engine. Additionally, the brake warning, tpms warning, park warning light, adaptive cruise control warning and several other warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. An appointment was made with mills Honda located at 8465 mn hwy 210, baxter, mn 56425, (218) 825-7525, to have the vehicle diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000. The VIN was not available. Ah.

Returning to maryland from indiana in several locations along I-70, I-79, I-68 auto braking engaged for no reason at all. Road crews plow with blade slightly above pavement possibly avoiding damage to rumble strip so we can't see lane divider lines or edge of road solid line when accidently touch the rumble strip brakes engage immediately when beeps alone should suffice. Other times it appeared the system thought we were about to have a head on collision and again braked suddenly and often. We think the headlights of cars way off in the distance where trees near them created a kind of strobe effect fooled the sensors where ever they are. I had to cancel all safety systems to avoid more problems like this. Solution recommended: require Honda to allow us to turn off auto braking in bad weather so sensors don't cause panic to drivers not understanding what's happening. When roads are slick as ours were you really don't want vehicles sliding out of control because of a system intended to keep us safe. I can tell you drivers around us thought we were intentionally trying to cause mischief and I'm certain the only reason we did not have an accidental is because I put blizzac snow tires on my 2018 crv touring and kept my thumb over the cancel button so I could recover quickly but eventually had to disable all that because it happened too often. I get cramps in my leg when I can't use cruise control and I paid a lot of money so I would be able to use adaptive cruise and other safety systems that simply made this car more dangerous. I'm angry, frustrated and want something done about this!!! yes roads were sloppy, slick and traveling below speed limit of 70 because of conditions. Only when we got to maryland did conditions improve. Had to drive 1/3 of our 550 mile trip with these problems happening disengaging entirely after hagaarstown MD. Can't trust it.
