1 Software problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2020

Multiple times while the key fob was nowhere near the vehicle, the windows and sunroof would roll down by themselves. One time I had to crawl out the back of the car with Honda service on the phone as proof because every time I opened the driver door the windows and sunroof would go down. The problem repeated itself at the dealership but the witness denied it. Eventually the bcm was replaced. Everything was fine for a few weeks. Today when I turned the car on, it appeared that the software reset itself. The odometer screen said it was 1 am when it was 8:52 am. It took several restarts for that screen to reset. However, the infotainment screen would not reset. It states "anti-theft system - this system has lost power. Push and hold the power button for more than two seconds to enable to system. " then it kept going dark. I tried with the car power button and the radio power button. Neither resolved the issue. I restarted the car several times. The same thing happened. I finally got it to restart hours later by holding down the radio power button. I am limited to a specific date on this form, but the windows/sunroof problems began around April/may 2020 and the infotainment screen issue in June 2020. I bought this car new in may/June of 2019.

Driving on city street and interstate the infotainment system in the vehicle will randomly go out. This has happened in the past but has progressively gotten worse. The infotainment system houses the gps and climate control (defrost) system along with the car settings (adas) and entertainment system. When you are dependent on the gps for navigation and you loose the directions you go into a panic situation trying to figure things out. When the windshield fogs and you can't use the defrost system it becomes a visibility issue. Dealership has updated the software but still continues to happen.

I would like to report a potential safety issue that exists in my 2018 Honda Cr-v. The infotainment system on my Honda will, arbitrarily, cycle through various menus and start beeping loudly. This is extremely distracting and diverts the driver's attention away from the road. It is unbelievably annoying and it completely destroys a driver's situational awareness. After doing some research, I have found that this is an endemic problem with the 2017-2019 Cr-v as well as other Honda models. It can occur at any time while driving and numerous examples of this failure mode can be found on youtube. Honda, has suggested that the software is at fault and issued an update, but this has done nothing to solve the problem. In the interest of safety, I write this letter in the hope that the national highway safety administration takes action and investigates this recurring problem. There are countless stories on Honda forums of drivers being distracted and removing their attention from the road as the center infotainment screen starts flashing and beeping incessantly. .
