36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/29/2022

The indirect tpms system on my 2019 Honda crv is a safety hazard. The tpms alert light stays on all the time, even when all tires are properly inflated, when all tires are the manufacturers recommended size, and all tires have adequate tread to meet all safety regulations. The dealer acknowledges the system is poorly designed and was probably implemented because it is cheaper to manufacture than a direct tpms system. The dealers have no remedy, therefore, Honda should be forced to recall the vehicles and make necessary changes to create an effective tpms system.

37 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2022

The display audio screen dims and brightens by itself and starts changing screens, channels, and beeping obsessively. This is very distractive to the driver and pushing buttons on the screen to try and make it stop does nothing and could very easily cause a wreck from the distraction of the unit beeping, changing channels, randomly calling people and flipping screens. Honda acknowledges this issue in service bulletin 19-066 which I don't think owners should have to pay to have fixed and should be a recall.

38 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2022

Sunroof shattered while driving on highway. Nothing hit it. It just shattered.

39 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2022

My sunroof exploded as I was driving down the highway yesterday evening. It was sunny, and I was not driving under an overpass, and there were no vehicles near me. I did not see an object hit nor was there anything on the roof or in the hole. Just lots of shattered glass.

40 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2022

I was opening the hatch to my crv, and it just slammed shut. The hatch strut started leaking fluid, and it almost slam down on my head which would’ve been a pretty serious injury had it hit me. My vehicles only three years old and I don’t even use my hatch that often so I believe that it is gone bad.

41 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2022

For the 4th time in a year and a half, my Cr-v has failed to start. I've had it in for dealership servicing twice on this issue and even replaced the battery at their recommendation. It did not fix the problem and they have since told me that they can't identify the problem and said it could be with the computer system (I did purchase an additional warranty for the computer system). In addition to the car failing to start and needing a jump start, the dashboard will start beeping and go blank, or flash a warning message that does not fit the situation. I consider this situation to be a safety issue as it leaves me without a reliable car for travel due to the uncertainty of being able to start the car. The latest episode was today and it was 88 degrees out and I had my 91 yr old father and my dog with me. Waiting for assistance in the heat was very hard on them. My father felt sick due to the long exposure to heat.

42 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2022

Driving on road and all of a sudden the car seemed like it was braking. We have don't automatic breaking. The dash lights came on. Engine, steering wheel !, traction control, brake system, and blinking brake light. The last few days it was taking more cranks, this started happening after a new fuel pump was installed last month. This was because of a fuel pump recall.

43 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2022

Without any warning or apparent cause the sunroof just shattered.

44 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/28/2022

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? air condition system. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I hear metal particles sound inside the ac system under the hood once the car is stopped, which I assume may cause the combustible r1234yf refrigerant to set on fire, particularly in states like texas and arizona. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? dealer asking me to change the leaking hoses and independent service center asking me to change the compressor but no one tries to resolve the primary issue. Already spent nearly $500 to diagnose it, so tired of spending anymore money on that. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? not yet, I'm registering it here first. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no warning but it all started after the refrigerant was empty.

45 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2022

Twice this has happened. Driving on normal city streets, approximately 35 mph, come to the metal plates on the road in construction area nad car slams on its brakes and comes to a complete stop in traffic, almost causing an accident and scaring heck out of the occupants of the vehicle.

46 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2022

I am an able to open the back trunk and there’s no secondary way to open it if I would need to get in or out. Also the doors randomly lock.

47 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/23/2022

02/23/2022 while driving down interstate sunroof glass suddenly exploded for no known reason. I see this is more common than I first thought. Hope the auto industry will be forced if necessary to make changes to correct the ongoing problem.

48 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2022

On three occasions the emergency automatic braking system activated. The first time it was hard braking; but, not to a full stop. The other two were minor. Only the first was a safety issue as it resulted in a quick slow down in traffic. I have not reported this to dealer and it has not been inspected. The word "brake" illuminated on the instrument panel but not prior to the action.

49 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2021

I’m have problems with all the warning lights coming up on the dashboard. First time it happened I thought it was the brakes. They fixed the brakes. It happened a couple more times I turn it off and on and it was no problem. But one time it came on again but this time the car went slow I took it to the shop they fixed fuel pump and fuel filter set. I thought everything was good until it the warning lights came up again, so I went to get a new battery. New battery is in but a few hours later the warning lights popped up again. Luckily I haven’t been in a accident. But sometimes it’s scary driving the car and the warning lights pop up again. Every time I go to the dealership they said it a good to go.

50 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2021

My vehicle has 3 malfunction warnings that come up - adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation system problem, and collision mitigation system problem along with the brake system light on. I have had the vehicle at the dealer for repairs 4 times, it has happened again a few more times and I am bringing my vehicle back to the dealer again for the fifth time (on 1/18/22). It happens randomly and has been persistent since November 2020. The district rep for Honda (arizona) is aware of these issues. I have been offered no other solution except to bring the vehicle back in again (for the fifth time).

51 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2021

The engine lid cover is faulty and fell while driving on an extremely hot day. The clips are plastic and fail easily.

52 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2021

The passenger and driver doors do not line up to the body of the vehicle which is causing the paint to chip when the doors are opened and closed. The weather seals on the doors are rolling as a result.

53 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2021

Driving on the freeway and sunroof glass spontaneously exploded. Was not going under an underpass and there were no other cars around. Moderate temperature outside and I was not running the heater or air conditioning (if that matters). Shade was pulled back, so I was showered with glass from the explosion. It is available for inspection upon request. Glass went everywhere. Luckily my family wasn't in the car with me, including my 4-year-old son. His car seat had a bunch of glass in it which would have hit him had he been with me. I am still waiting for a call back from the dealer. No, it has not been inspected yet. This happened yesterday, which was a Sunday, so nobody was open. I did call my insurance and am waiting to hear back. There was absolutely no warning before the glass exploded.

54 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2021

On 4/6/2021 we were traveling on 580 in reno aprox. 60mph no cars in front or sides of us but one truck behind us. Nothing such as a sign or bridge over us and no road construction in that area. There was a loud explosion sound and glass raining down on both sides of our crv. We first thought was there a plane flying over that lost something? our sunroof literally exploded. Glass flew out like an explosion hitting the truck behind us. If we would have had the interior sunshade open we would have wrecked the car due to the glass that flew about. We then went to Honda to see about it. They said something must have hit the glass. Nothing hit the glass. The glass exploded outward. The sunroof on this vehicle was obviously defective. We have placed a claim with our insurance and are having it fixed. This is a very dangerous situation that I have since seen many others have experienced but the car companies do not want to admit to. I'm hoping this very dangerous situation will be looked in as soon as possible.

55 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2021

I purchase the car on September 2018. The car has a little than 15k miles. Started to get this brake system error.

56 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2021

While driving down the highway at 65 miles an hour the sun roof suddenly exploded. There was no traffic close enough to have tossed up a rock. We immediately stopped to see what was wrong and discovered a large part of the sunroof was missing. A small amount of glass fell onto the sunshade which kept it from hitting me in the face. The rest of the glass scattered in the wind as I brought the vehicle to a stop. Fortunately no motorcycles were behind me or someone would likely have gotten hurt. No glass in an automobile should shatter this way it is dangerous both for the occupants of the vehicle and for those following.

57 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2021

While driving 45 mph on a divided road with no cars in front of me for at least 1/2 mile and no cars to the side or turning, my car brakes to almost a stop and the brake assist light went on. If there had been anyone behind me I would have been hit from behind. The braking was sudden enough that everything flew off the passenger seat into the floor. Took it to the dealership where I was told a shadow or a bag can set it off and there was nothing they could do to help because it wasn't broken and although some Honda's allowed you to turn off that feature, the Honda crv does not allow you to disable brake assist function permanently. You can turn it off every time you start the car but if you forget to turn it off a bag blowing in the street can bring you to a sudden stop.

58 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2021

I am having an issue with automatic high beam�it stays on with on coming traffic or when following behind the vehicle, it basically does not turn off when it should. Sometimes, it would not turn on when it should. I have it all on video, but the dealer states since they can't duplicate it, they can't fix it even when shown the video of the issue. It is illegal to drive with high beam on with on coming traffic (although I can turn the feature off), it is still very frustrating that they refuse to address the safety issue due to the intermittent nature of the problem. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

59 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2020

On August 28 I went to start my car and it would not turn on. I called the dealership and they jumped it and the car started. They tested the battery and it was fine but changed it anyway. On December 23 it would not start and had to be jumped. This happened again on December 26 and 27. The car is currently at the dealership. They have said nothing is wrong with the battery or the car even though this has happened to multiple 2019 Cr-vs.

60 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2020

Radar obstructed - warning indicators came on with just snow flurries that obstructed the radar. Appears to be similar to the 2017 issue fixed with software update 17-064. Reported to jones Honda in lancaster PA but they said there is no known fix. Totally unacceptable spend $35k for safety features that do not work.

61 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/25/2020

In my neighborhood, I was turning right with foot on brake and car began to accelerate on a city street. Was going 5 miles per hour and speed went up. Eased off brake and braked again and it slowed. Went home slowly which was a block away.

63 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2020

The car wouldn't start until I messed with it a lot. I've read it's a battery drain and software update issue on message boards- several people complained about it. I've only had my 2019 Honda crv since September 2019.

64 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2020

While driving on a highway at about 55 mph (cruise control set) with no vehicles ahead, the accident mitigation system activated causing the vehicle to aggressively brake on its own.

65 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2020

Overview: on July 4, 2020 my SUV rolled backwards on a slight incline when the start button was pressed to turn it off while in drive position causing a broken ankle, multiple abrasions and back pain. Details: I drove my SUV onto a driveway with a slight incline. The SUV did not roll forward because of the incline but after stepping out of the vehicle I realized that I had not turned it off. I turned back around while standing next to the SUV and pressed the button to turn it off not realizing the car was in drive. It immediately started rolling backwards (downhill), knocking me to the ground and dragging me since I was caught under the door. The driver's side wheel either went over my foot or dragged it (not sure which since at that point I was afraid for my life). It broke my ankle and tore away the skin in the ankle area. When it finally stopped, I was able to roll away and cry for help. This incident caused a broken ankle, multiple abrasions on my body and damage to the muscles in my back causing a very painful rib cage. These injuries required immediate and ongoing physician care and physical therapy. I truly believe that there should be a safety feature that does not allow us to turn the car off while the vehicle is in drive. It was something that was part of the older key start/stop vehicles. I believe that I read that some of the other manufacturers were dealing with this problem so don't know why Honda hasn't addressed it. Why is it not standard on all the new keyless push button vehicles? I know I'm not the only one who had this problem because my orthopedic doctor told me another of her patients sustained injuries with a roll back. Thank you for your time.

66 Equipment problem

My family experienced multiple episodes of sudden unintended acceleration with a new car purchased on 01/31/2020. The current mileage of the car in July 2020 is about 3,000. We experienced about 7 episodes in may and June. On one day, this happened 3 times. Most of times this happened when I was slowing down to a stop sign. On one occasion, this happened after I had the car completely stopped at a red light. In all cases I know my foot was on the brake pedal. Our car has weather mats, and it is not interfering with the operation of brake or acceleration pedals. In all these events my wife was in the passenger seat and knew I did not put my foot on the acceleration pedal. We had the same issue with Toyota 2004 sienna and 2011 camry in the past. This is a well-known issue with modern cars. But no car manufacturer admits that the issue even exists probably because it may require a major design change � throttle by wire, brake by wire, etc. - to resolve the issue. I believe the cause of this issue is the failure of computer software used to control all components. I believe the car manufacturers should include a safety in the software programming to lock the acceleration when brake is engaged.

After leaving vehicle in garage for 24 hours or more, then attempting to start the vehicle, vehicle will not start. After using battery jump, vehicle will start and run as normal. This has happened several times over the past few months, even when vehicle is run for couple miles or more.

70 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/29/2020

Windows and sunroof open on their own. Vehicle parked for 2 days in driveway. In middle of night, all windows and sunroof opened during a rainstorm. This is the second occurrence of this issue. First time Sep'19, second time 4/28 or 4/29 2020. Customer case 09867240 with american Honda. They say this is a "feature" that requires pushing buttons on key fob remote in specific order. No buttons were pushed either time. Sep'19 key fob was in pocket. Second occurrence occurred middle of the night while I was sleeping. One fob hanging on hook near back door. Other on my dresser next to my wallet. No possible way buttons could have been pushed in middle of night. Am Honda solution is to get a hardcase for the remote to be sure buttons are not pushed by mistake. Dealer says same thing. Internet postings show this has been happening on many different Honda models for many years and they refuse to take responsibility for the problem. Am Honda also says that the "feature" can't be disabled. My point. . . If they programmed it into the system, they should be able to program in a "switch" that can be accessed through the control screen. Dealer (williams Honda, traverse city mi) also indicates it is a known problem and they have no way to disable it either, even with their service diagnostic tools. It rained here last night. My car is soaked. The response from american Honda is that I did not have a hard case for my key fob. Even though I was asleep and the fobs were not moved in the middle of the night.
