1 Assist problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2024

Yesterday, my car was working fine. This afternoon October 1, 2024, when I turned on the engine I saw a prompt “cmbs problem” on the screen. Warning signs/lamps lit up as well, 1. Adaptive control cruise problem, road departure mitigation system problem, collision mitigation system problem, and auto high beam problem. I have not contacted the dealership about this current issue because I plan to go to the dealership to do my oil change this coming Saturday 10/05/2024. Just an fyi, they still haven’t addressed my recall ( the 2017-22 fuel pump mtr saf recall exp2). At this time, no injury happened, but I am definitely scared of my safety using my car.

2 Assist problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2023

Three times the car braked automatically although there was no reason; traffic was consistent and there was no stop sign or stopped/slowing traffic. Several times (more than two/ less than six) the car auto corrected with lane assistance due to either shadows from telephone wires onto the road, or, pavement variations due to construction (on the interstate).

3 Assist problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2022

While driving the emergency brake system activates and brings my car to a complete stop. It happens intermittently. The most recent was during a trip the week of June 6,2022-it occurred approximately three times on our way home. Fortunately I saw the brake light flash and tapped the brake to avoid it from coming to a complete halt. We were traveling about 60mph! I even pulled off the road and turned the car off and back on again to see if that would help! additionally I had to turn the lane keep assist off because it malfunctioned a few weeks ago-it kept trying to pull my car outside of the lane I was in-it acted as though I was drifting out of my lane. I almost lost control of the car.

4 Assist problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2022

All the warning lights were flashing on dash, brakes, powers steering , cruise control anti lock brakes ,lane departure ect. This happen on the way to work shut off car two days remained on. On the way home lights went out. Was told to bring car in for diagnostics. Made app and away it went, apon arriving to dealer , I explanied thatthe lights went out. They told me that I would have to pay 150 dollars for diagnostics. Told them I was under warranty with full coverage, didnt matter. They asked if car was running ok and I reply yes. But alittle concerning to have all lights flashing at same time. Needless to say once again lights came on a month later same thing with dealer make appointment. I think that this should be looked into because it’s not the first time this is a problem for Honda it was happening to there 2017. Please check into complaints about the warning lights.

5 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2022

When driving on the interstate with assisted cruise control and lane assist, my car has twice braked very hard when no hazards were in sight. Once, it almost came to a complete stop and had the car behind me been closer their would have been an accident - this was summer of 2021. The second time, it braked, I turned off cruise and tapped the brake and it corrected itself. In both cases, this could have been a very dangerous situation that put myself and others at risk. I thought it was happening because my windshield had been replaced and recalibrated. I had that checked twice and they found no issue with the calibration. I realized it could be a greater issue when I saw the news report on investigation of this happening on other 2019 Honda crv's. I have not taken it to the shop yet. There were no prior warnings.

6 Assist problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2021

1. My car like many other crv's I have read about online in forums and other sites is experiencing the fuel injection failure of crv's since 2017 model. The consumer reports article from 2018 stated the 2019 model was to include a "fix" for this problem but it has not. My car has been in the shop twice in 2 weeks for this issue and now I am facing a $1,788. 00 repair at my cost to have all new fuel injectors replaced at 51,400 miles. First sign of problem showed every safety system on the car failing and warnings on every light on the dash. Only after the 2nd trip to the dealer was the fuel injection code thrown on the computer. This problem leads to stalls, cuts offs, sluggishness in traffic which all cause safety issues. 2. The automatic emergency braking system on my car has alerted on multiple occasions when there is nothing in front of me, no obstruction, or any reason to throw the brake warning on the screen. There is one particular place on my daily commute where this happens consistently even though the light is green and there is no traffic flow ahead, beside or oncoming. 3. The lane keep assist program misreads shadows from the electric or telephone lines projected onto the roadway and steers to maneuver around them. It also tends to have difficulty when the road is wet in spots from rain earlier in the day. I keep it off most of the time now because of how it reacts.

7 Assist problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2021

I was driving on the freeway at 60 mph. Traffic was flowing. Suddenly, with nothing in front of me, the car applies the break and I came down immediately to 30 mph. It was terrifying and luckily no one slammed into me.
