general problems of the 2019 Honda CR-V - part 2

Rear doors will not open when getting out or opening. I changed batteries in key fob, but didn't help. 12/27/23 all lights on dash went black and stayed off for about 5 miles. I've had the brakes stop me and I was thrown forward hard. My main worry is if my electrical system goes out while driving, will my car lock up and cause an accident?.

I was driving my 2019 Honda crv yesterday and it slammed on the brakes to a complete stop all by itself. It shocked me and jerked my head so badly. If I wasn't wearing my seat belt I would have gone through the windshield. If someone was driving behind me, they would have hit me. Please advise on what I should do. There is not a recall but online I saw there were other occurrences like this. This is the first time this has happened since I bought the car new. I have not taken it to the dealer yet. The brake warning light came on as it was braking.

I was driving on the highway at a speed of about 60 mph. I tried to push the break pedal because a car stopped in front of me. The distance between the other car and my car was initially about 200 ft. After I pushed the breaks, the breaks did not respond at all and the car kept going at the same speed. That caused an accident. These details are documented in a police report. . Read more...

"brake" flashed on instrument panel and cars brakes were automatically applied for a second or so. This recently happened and once before about one year ago. Both incidents occurred in daylight on a clear, level paved road with no cars ahead in the lane at 35mph (estimated). Cruise control was off. These isolated incidents have not been previously reported and no injuries occured.

Car slams on brakes by itself. Once with large metal plate used for construction. Going about 40-45mph. Another time when someone turned completely and it slammed on the brakes nowhere near a vehicle.

While driving on the highway (left lane), my car braked itself (while going ~70 mph). The brakes then wouldn’t release for about half a minute. I was very lucky that no one rear ended me, and it was very scary. The sensor has sometimes warned me to brake, even when there isn’t anything in front of me. However, this is the first time the car stopped itself.

I was driving and randomly , even though there was no imminent danger , the brake warning light flashed across my dashboard and immediately the car automatically slammed down on the brake even though my foot was not on the pedal. Luckily the person behind me did not collide into me. This is the second time it has happened in one week. I take my car to the Honda dealership tomorrow.

I was driving on the highway in atlanta at approximately average highway speed. I hit the break to avoid a vehicle - I don’t thin the extent of breaking was unusual breaking, but perhaps a bit harder than usual - and then I removed my foot off the break. The problem arose when the break remained engaged after I removed my foot from the break. Cars around me swerved in all directions to avoid hitting me. Eventually, perhaps one to two seconds later, the break disengaged and I was able to control the vehicle. I was alarmed that the break remained engaged after I removed my foot from the break and felt I had no control of the vehicle.

The vehicle's automatic braking engaged while I was crossing railroad tracks at a crossing. I had stopped prior to the tracks and was accelerating to go over the tracks when three beeps sounded from the dash display and the brakes activated. It stopped my car on the tracks momentarily and I had to accelerate hard to get it to disengage the brakes. There were no vehicles or other objects directly in front of me at the time. There was a train approaching, but it was far enough away to not be a problem. However, it was scary to be stuck on the tracks. I travel this same route 5-days per week for the past three years and this never happened before. It is also the first-time the auto braking system activated when there was no vehicle or object in front of me. The auto braking beeps and brake flashing warning display did activate at the time. I have an appointment to have the car inspected at the local dealership.

Automatic emergency braking came on unexpectedly with no obstacles nearby. Was traveling at 35 mph with no cars around. Car decelerated sharply, throwing our dog against back of front seat. Then aeb disengaged with no further incident so far. This was earlier today.

I was driving about 25mph and my car came to a hard brake and stopped completely on its own. I did not have a brake warning light, no cars were too close in front of me. It almost caused the car behind me to rear end me. This is a 2019 Honda crv with approximately 46,000 miles on it.

The vehicle automatically came to a screeching stop at highway speed (50 mph) with no obstructions in the roadway. Our safety and the safety of others was jeopardized because we lost control of the vehicle during the incident. The manufacturers service center is scheduled to look at the vehicle but has no record of any complaints despite thousands of similar complaints recorded online. They do not have a service bulletin to guide them in repair or testing and are unsure of the way to proceed. The ‘brake’ light came on and flashed prior to the skid. The light is typically deployed when encroaching on another vehicle or obstacle when normally driving.

Driving 35 mph in my 2019 crv ex, and all of a sudden, the brake started braking on its own. There was no warning, and the brake warning light came on several times with the brake braking on and off several times. There were not any objects, cars, or obstructions around. We (friend as passenger) came to a sudden stop when the braking first started up. It felt like major whiplash with jerking like motions. This lasted about 5 seconds and was just shocking. Our chests hurt afterwards, and it felt like the life was taken out of us. I was not using the cruise control/cmbs on at the time, but it was on to use if needed. I called stirling Honda the next day about the problem and scheduled an appt. To bring the SUV in 6/22/2023. The lady did not seem to be too worried in my opinion. I actually have not been using the cruise control and cmbs at all, and actually have disabled it (turned off). This is a big safety concern, and thank god there was not a car in front of me or in back of me. I cannot imagine being at a higher speed and this happening.

This vehicle has experienced intermittent false alarms where the emergency braking system flashed the orange “brake” symbol without due cause. This issue has occurred intermittently over the vehicles entire life. For context I purchased this car new and have been the registered and sole operator since its purchase. On 5/25/2023 the emergency braking system fully engaged the brakes without cause, brining my vehicle to a fast and hard stop on top of rail tracks in san diego CA. No adverse outcomes happened, thankfully. There was no train coming and the vehicle behind me had enough distance and time to maneuver without causing any accidents. It is highly concerning that this software took control and engaged the brakes in a completely unnecessary situation, let alone the fact that this happened on rail tracks and could have resulted in much worse outcomes for myself and others.

While driving on a 4 lane highway at about 60-65 mph the automatic brake system activated. There was no apparent reason for the brakes to be applied at that time. There was no car close to me in front of me. It only lasted about a second and only slowed the vehicle down instead of bringing it to a complete stop. The risk to me was if a car had been close behind me I might have been hit from behind. The problem has not occurred since and I have not taken it to a dealer. I noticed the dash light said brake but that occurred during the braking event rather than before it. I had put rainx on my windshield before leaving home and I have questioned if that had any influence on the camera seeing through the windshield. I have applied rainx on the windshield since then but I avoided putting in on the section in front of the camera.

We have a 2019 Honda crv. The car won't start. When we try to start the car, the following things hapen: 1. "electric parking brake problem" warning signal flashes on the dashboard 2. "brake system problem" warning signal flashes on the dashboard 3. "tire pressure low" warning signal flashes on the dashboard 4. "to start engine. . . " light flahes on the dashboard 5. "brake" light remains on 6. More warning lights on the left side of the dashboard remain on 7. Car makes clicking noises. No one has been hurt. The car was at rest in the garage when the problem was discovered. The car is waiting to be towed to the dealer for evaluation and repair. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. Two days prior to the incident, the brakes briefly pulsated for no particular reason while the car was moving. No harm or damage was caused.

Vehicle purchased 1/2020. Nov 2020 car had issues with the center screen going black. Had to pull over several times and to restart the car to get it to come back on. The round start button was flashing red when the vehicle was off, also the auto brake light has come on several times and there is no obstruction anywhere. Brought to dealer and they did a software update. Mileage was 12,936. 5/16/22 dead battery twice. Had aaa come to jump the vehicle. Took to local dealer mileage 29,641 battery test failed. Replace battery under warranty. Had to leave the car all afternoon. 2/27/23 car ran for 20 min, went to move it 2 hrs later battery was dead. Had aaa come and jump it to get it to the dealer. It was going to snow for the rest of the day and we needed to get the car moved in the carport to get to our snow blower. Service closed at 5 pm. They said I could bring it and leave it in the lot for the next day. I brought it myself the next day after driving the car for an hr and starting it several times in the night. Battery replaced under extended warranty plan. Mileage 31,396 was told by dealer to keep a charger on it if it was not going to be driven for more than a day. Seems to be some kind of electrical problem drawing the power down. Two batteries on a SUV with this mileage is not normal.

This has happened several times, when cruise control is activated like 1/50 times the car will go into limp mode randomly with the brakes activating at speed. This makes it very difficult to steer and has led to me almost getting hit. I have stopped using cruise control and the problem has not happened since.

All my car systems started to flash warning failure lights including brakes, steering, transmission and all the safety features. My car would start but I couldn't move it out of park and all the warning lights for every system on the car blinked failure. The wire harness that connects to the rearview mirror caused my entire car to shut down and become inoperable. I had to have it towed and it cost me $1552. 53 in repairs. I did some research and other people are having the same issue. Critical systems like brakes shouldn’t be connected to things like mirrors. This is a critical safety concern. This issue should have a recall. The 2019 models having a bit of wire that hangs down is clearly a design / engineering flaw. I shouldn’t have to pay to repair this. I would like to know what Honda’s plan is to fix this issue. I have found reports of others having the same issue. My hanging my handicap plate card on the rear view mirror shouldn’t short out the entire car. Legally that is where we are suppose to hang it. People with disabilities have lower incomes and shouldn’t be penalized for Honda design errors. I would like my money refunded. I think Honda should warn customers of this flaw. I also think Honda needs to fix this on all existing and future models. I was lucky this didn't happen while I was driving on the highway to my destination.

On November -1 - 2022 I was driving my car on about 15 mph when the vehicle brakes applies on there own like emergency brakes applied very hard there was no cars on the front off me. Next day I send my car to the Honda dealer service and I explain for them what happens with the car after 3 days they keep my car in the service they told me that . Theres is nothing wrong with the car you need to move the ezpass and dash camera away from the windshield to stop possible interference .

My brake mitigation system keeps lighting up intermittently when there is nothing in front of my vehicle. This past time that it happened, my car actually stopped suddenly automatically when the brake light came on. I was traveling at about 35mph when it happened. Luckily nobody was behind me. My small dog was in the passenger seat and was thrown into the dash board and thankfully not injured. I called my Honda dealer and they had me bring my car in but the problem wouldn’t duplicate during their inspection. This seems very dangerous and it makes me nervous all the time while driving now wondering if it will happen again.

1) the following has occurred 5 separate times on 5 separate days: I was driving on a 2-lane road on 4 occasions going anywhere from 25mph to 35mph, and on a 5-lane freeway on 1 occasion going 65mph. My brakes suddenly engaged and my car came to a full stop. The "brake" notification flashed on my dashboard continuously for 30 seconds to 60 seconds. I was unable to steer car for another 1-2 minutes after. Each time it felt like a slam and my body was physically moved in whiplash mode. All items in my car flew around. Each time this occurred there was not another vehicle, object or person in front of me nor beside me. However there were cars behind me. On 3 of those instances, the cars behind me swerved. On all 5 instances I was shaken to my core. I did not want to drive for a day or two after. I have been terrified ever since. I could have been killed each of those times. My son could have been killed or severely injured on 2 of those occasions he was in the passenger's seat. The other drivers who had to swerve violently to get around my car could have also been killed or severely injured. Each of those times the dashboard has lit up every single icon. I have been told I have to pay to have this problem checked out. I do not have the means for this. I purchased my vehicle brand new off the lot. This is unacceptable and honestly terrifying, both for the risk of death and injury, and financially. 2)electric parking brake problem- my car refuses to start after this event.

Driving 45mph on a two lane road, no oncoming traffic, no obstructions, one car 1/4 mile behind mine. Suddenly, I heard three beeps and lost control of the vehicle. The brake mitigation system activated bringing the car to a dangerous stop in traffic. This was sudden, random and without any warning.

When driving on a main road at about 45 mph, the automated braking system slammed on the brakes, slowing me down to 20mph. At this time, my foot was already on the brake as I was going through an intersection so I was slowing down. There was nothing in front of me. This happened on 8/20/2022. Thankfully there was no car behind me, otherwise I would have been rear-ended. On several other occasions, the automatic brake warning has gone off when there is no obstruction in front of the car, but this was the first time the brakes actually slowed the car down significantly.

On or about August 8th 2022, while traveling on rt. 561 (haddonfield- berlin rd. Driving my 2019 Cr-v my automatic brakes engaged erroneously. My son was with me in the front passenger seat when the brakes automatically engaged. This occurred while we were approaching laurel rd in one of two dedicated left turn lanes. There were no cars around me at that time. The driver’s side tires did track over the painted hashed yellow median stripping briefly. It’s a wide open area. It was not a harsh break but it jolted the car. I did not notice any signals on the dash and no sound of alarm was heard. This is the first time this has occurred. I understand that the nhsta is investigating similar reports. Weather was clear and sun was out. I am scheduling a visit to the dealer, burn’s Honda of cherry hill.

I was driving our car on a suburban side street, maybe going 15 mph, and all of a sudden the car just completely to an abrupt stop and we were all jerked backwards. The dashboard displayed a rectangle that said brake in all caps, which I'd never seen before. There was absolutely nothing in front of us or in our way. No dog, no person, nothing. It was like someone had pulled an emergency brake and stopped the car out of nowhere. We were ok, though my son in the backseat said the seatbelt pushed against his neck. It was really scary and unsettling.

2019 Honda crv, 37,000 miles. Vehicle applied the automatic emergency braking system while it was in motion at about 30-35 mph. No one was behind me; thankfully, but this could have been a serious issue if someone was. I drive two small children in this vehicle on a daily basis. I was stunned and scared when the brakes engaged with no warning at such a speed with no obstructions in sight. This was a down hill straight road and no cars parked on either side of the road. Upon googling the issue, I came across the information that this was not a random fluke, but a known safety issues with my year, make and model. I have reported this incident to the dealership (brandfon Honda, branford, connecticut) to Honda motor corporation headquarters and here to the NHTSA. I am hoping for a swift review and resolution of this issue. Honda Cr-v's and accords are a very common vehicles so this issue affects a great number of people all over the world.

I was driving at approx 20 miles per hour and the automatic braking system activated and the car came to an immediate stop. Luckily the car behind me was at a sufficient distance - or this would have been a rear end collision. This was extremely frightening and I found it difficult to drive the rest of the way home. I took side roads instead of the highway. This is a very terrifying incident that could potentially have resulted in a serious accident to myself, my passengers and others. My lease ends in December 2022 but I don't feel I can ever safely drive this car again.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph at night driving over railroad tracks, the brakes inadvertently slammed on. The vehicle was stuck in the middle of approximately 3 tracks. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact then accelerated to move the vehicle forward and drove safely to its destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

The automatic emergency braking system failed. I was driving and the car automatically braked to a complete stop on its own. No "brake" light came on before, the car just braked on its own, no warning. Luckily there was no car behind me this is a street people usually drive 60 on!!! everything flew off my seats and it hurt my entire body.

I was driving slowly (25 mph) through an intersection when the car suddenly beeped and flashed "brake" and slammed on my brakes. Another car almost hit me as he was not expecting me to stop in the middle of the intersection. All of my things inside the car flew around and the abrupt stop hurt me and my daughter in the back seat.

Out of nowhere all the warning lights on dash board came on and the parking break was automatically applied. Fortunately I was not driving at the time.

On June 14, 2022 my 2019 Honda crv slammed on the brakes without me touching the brake pedal. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed my safety was at risk because I was thrown forward violently. My safety and the safety of others were at risk because if there had been a car behind me, they would have hit me. I have not taken it to a service center yet. I have not had time. There were no warnings. I was going about 30 mph, I do not believe the brake warning sign alighted but I can't say for sure because I was being jolted forward. There was no one around me on the road and luckily no one behind me. I read the Feb 24, 2022 cnn business article “random braking in Honda accord and Cr-v under investigation” and found this is exactly what happened to me. Please let me know if there are any updates you can share or if Honda is doing anything to alleviate the problem.

Automatic emergency braking glitch. Car suddenly stopped with nothing in front and without driver's control. The car behind us narrowly avoided a rear ending collision.

While driving on the highway at approximately 50mph my 2019 Honda Cr-v suddenly braked hard on its own, with no vehicle in front of me. Luckily there was no one behind me either or it would have likely caused me to be rear ended. It was a frightening experience, also causing neck pain for a few days afterwards. I reported the issue to Honda.
