On 9/23/19 parked the vehicle. Shut off vehicle while still in drive. The vehicle did not alert me that the car was not in park. Got out of car and door locked like everything was okay - no other beeps or notifications. Vehicle rolled out of driveway and hit a tree causing significant rear damage (thankfully did not hit any other vehicle or pedestrian). Brought to Honda dealership and they could not find anything although I explained that the warning indicators work intermittently. Finally on 10/2/19 I videotaped an incident where it did not alert me in anyway when I shut the car off and left in the drive gear (images from video attached). Honda states emergency parking brake should always be engaged; however, this does not fix the fact that the safety notifications are not working as expected. Definitely a vehicle safety issue.
Florida arbitration claim in progress: after the first year of purchasing this vehicle, the crv navigation display system has begun to malfunction. This includes freezing, change in brightness, loss of functions such as navigation control, radio control and camera control. Additionally, this is a safety hazard for myself and those around me as the system will lock up and if the hands free is in use a screeching noise will occur until the car has been stopped and completely restarted as this occurs only while the car is in operation and moving. . The only temporary fix has been to restart the car until it occurs again. Also when this occurs, the a/c will cease functioning. Honda has repeatedly sated that the issue is an isolated issue and that it was due to my phone saying that my samsung is not compatible with the car. However, the car is feature specifically with android audio.
The Honda Cr-v has a optional backup sensor option which does not perform to prevent an accident. It does not provides necessary adequate warning to prevent backing up into a vehicle or person. The back up sensor has warning buzzer that can not be heard over normal conversation or a radio. The system I was told has not been updated for several years let Honda is still installing this inadequate warning system. Check it out for your self. I raise this safely issue with my Honda dealer and Honda executive officer in charge of engineering.
