36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2020

We purchased a 2020 Honda crv less than two months ago. Since then we have found out that one of the features of the key fob is that if you push the unlock button, then push and hold the unlock button, it will roll down all of the windows and open the moon roof. So if this happens accidentally while the keys are in your pocket or pusre you will get up the next morning with the windows rolled down. This has happened to us multiplel times already with no warning or alerts. The dealer says that this feature can not be reprogrammed. This may not be a safety issue but it is definitely is a security issue if your sits outside in a driveway or in a parking lot. Or if happens when it is raining it would make a real mess of the vehicle.

37 Equipment problem

The cabin of my crv smells nauseatingly like gasoline causing severe headaches. It happens while the engine is running at low and high speeds, and also when the engine is not running. My vehicle has less than 4000 miles on it. I thought this problem was fixed in the 2020 models.

2020 new Honda Cr-v hybrid - there's a vibration and noise associated with it. At two months old, Honda detected it in both my car and two other new ones they pulled from their lot to see if it was in any other new ones. I was told "they both have the same issue only worse than yours". Originally I noticed it at 63 mph (so did the shop foreman who drove it with me), but now, I'm experiencing it on surface streets as well. It remains constant regardless of acceleration or deceleration. The dealership made every attempt to correct it - tried new tire(s), rear alignment, etc. They test drove it more than once, but in the end, they admitted to me that it was still there and likely a characteristic of this model. "drive train" was mentioned as a possible cause. I did test drive it before I bought it and while it did feel a bit different from my 2017 Cr-v, I attributed it to me not being accustomed to awd. However, the more I've driven it, the more I realize it's significant enough that I would be very uncomfortable on a long trip. All this said, the issue of safety keeps looming - if it is the drive train, is it wearing down already (not being mechanically minded, does a drive train wear down?) and at what point might it cause a real problem at high speed (or any speed!)? for clarity - the car has never been driven roughly nor hit any obstacle or curb. I am writing a letter to Honda corporate offices as well. A shout out to every single person at my Honda dealer. I know first year revamp (first year of Cr-v hybrid in this case) can be tricky and very possibly is in this instance. Everyone has been wonderful and worked hard to try and pinpoint the problem. Perhaps a rhetorical question, but I did ask "so, are you going to sell those other two on the lot as is?".

40 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2020

I just leased my crv 2020 on may of 2019 and after a week or 2 I had my car battery die on me. Jump started it and took it to Honda and they said they will change the battery. After 2 weeks it happened again and they changed it again. Around March of this year 2022 it happened again and they changed it again. And today it won’t start again. Since it’s 4th of July weekend I have to take it to them Tuesday.

41 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2020

Very distracted operation when the avas acoustic vehicle alert system produces strange noises at low speed. This has no value in any normal driving situation except to unnecessarily distract the driver and the vehicles nearby. . The system can not be disabled. No more than addition noise pollution without value.
