general problems of the 2021 Honda CR-V - part 2

My 2021 Honda crv is activating the brakes at inappropriate times. I've had 5 total instances that could have resulted in a rear-end collision both on the street driving 5-35 mph and freeway at 30-50 mph. The system on the dash board flashed "brake. " however, there is more than a car space between the car in front of the car. The braking system activates and I am unable to counteract the brakes locking up on the car. I am very concerned that if I were to continue to drive my car , it may result in an accident with a car crashing into the back of my car. At this time I am waiting for the vehicle to be inspected.

I was driving at about 60 mph on the highway with no cars anywhere near me, not using cruise control. I saw an orange “brake” warning light flash on my dashboard a few times and the car slowed a bit. I was startled and looked all around and saw the closest vehicle at least 1/4 mile ahead of me, with no brake lights on and not seeming to slow. I was concerned but didn’t know if I did something wrong, and have been watching for it since then but it has not repeated. I believe this incident took place about 10 days ago, on 2/16/22, around 11 a. M. I read an article from cnn this morning that said there is a recall for just this occurrence for two Honda models in the years 2017 through 2019, but my model is a 2021. I am concerned that it might cause an accident.

When driving after dark on rural roads or roads with low light, and using the low-beam headlights, the road is only visible through the lower 1/3 of the windshield. Visibility forward is extremely limited. There is a band of darkness on the upper 2/3. This makes for very dangerous and limited visibility. The visibility improves when the high beams are used. This problem has was first noticed in 2021. I have a video I took of the issue. I took my car to the dealer for service and they say they cannot fix it. They claim, so far, that the headlights are working fine, but they admit that they are unable to check for nighttime issues as I describe.

Hood latch sensor started beeping on a trip from colorado to wyoming 12/19/21. I had never opened the hood but it had recently had it’s first service, and I could find no visible issue. I had made an appointment with freedom Honda because they have no shuttle service to my part of town for 12/30/21 I needed to get a ride from my son. On 12/21/21 I had to drive 40 miles and noticed the hood was actually vibrating. I have been told that the dealership needs to order a new hood latch. This vehicle has less that 5,000 miles on it. They are telling me to come pick it up and the part “a new hood latch” will possibly arrive on Tuesday the 4th. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle at this point. They are expecting me to pay for the new latch, when it is obviously a manufacturer defect.

The car detected an forward collision in error and began to brake. Emergency warning came on with beeping. No object was in front of the vehicle. Was traveling approx 40 mph on city streets.

The keyless car was accidently turned off while not in not in park the car started to roll. Yes the car is available for inspection. But based on complaints I have seen online this is how the car was designed. Pedestrian or driver could be rolled over and injured or killed, no it has not been confirmed but after I got home I was easily able to reproduce the rolling with the car turned off while not in park. No. At this point the car nor person has needed police or insurance. The car does offer beeps for warning but the car beeps so much I thought it was the car going by. It is an easy mistake we all know because we have driven cars with keys and can't remove the keys without being in park. I was able to exit the car with my keys. Pedestrians do not watch for rolling cars. Needs to be fixed in this model of car.

I purchased brand new Honda crv 2021 from manhasset dealer in April 2021, since then this happened few times randomly that the trunk would not open completely and it gets stuck few inches up , manually or with foot sensor it would not open right away and we need to close back and try again few times so it opens all the way up, also in August while taking the stuff out from the trunk it start closing on me and my elderly mom and it would not stop , we were about to get injured that day very badly , hardly escaped from the closing trunk , I brought this to attention of Honda dealer during first and 2nd service but as per them trunk closed properly and they would not do anything for this. They said we can not give you new vehicle for this we know you are not lying but sorry we can not help. I did not ask for new vehicle I wanted to fix my car issue only. Till now this is happening, I sent them email request as well for this issue to be fixed but I did not get any response.

Purchased car on July 7, 2021, that same day the car did not start when stepped on brake and pushed start button. Happened again on July 8, 2021. Called dealer, took it in on July 9, 2021. They could not duplicate problem. Assured me it was not a problem. Drove to CT on July 10, 2021, did not start several times during the trip. On July 11, on return trip from CT a warning light came on dashboard. In black letters in a red rectangular box - brake. I called dealer on Monday July 12, 2021 and reported the warning. He said it meant there were cars in the way. The brake in a box occurred 2 more times (8/6 and 8/17). I called dealer who said it was not a problem. I subsequently searched the warning on line and it says "bring your car to a dealer. To continue driving could be dangerous!" I left the car with the dealer for 9 days. Sept 3 through September 11, 2021. They said they could not find anything wrong. I continue to have problems with starting the car, often getting the message that says to start engine: brake+push. Which is exactly what I do to start the car. When I picked up the car on September 11 (after 9 days with the dealer) the service manager told me he would contact their regional manager to report the problem to the regional manager. That's the last I heard from him except when I called and he said he had not heard from regional manager yet. I called again and left message but have not heard back. I have also submitted a complaint with Honda and I have written 3 emails to the vp of customer relations. The vp has not responded to me at all. The complaint person contacted the dealer and dealer told him they could not duplicate the problem. After many weeks, complaint person contacted me to let me know this. He has no other recommendations. At this time I am afraid to drive the car and just drive it locally. I have avoided the highway, and any long trips because of my fear that there is something seriously wrong with the car and brakes.

On more than one occasion while driving the touch screen went black couldn’t access my navigation nothing couldn’t get the screen to turn on it wouldn’t do anything. Then it will tell me connect device when my phone is plugged in I’ve changed the cords replaced them with generic apple cords nothing bought apple cord and still nothing, apple car play doesn’t connect says you need to unplug device for car play to work nothing. The sensors are not working like they should there will be nothing around the car will alarm brake then it will automatically brake. I should not have to at to replace the touch screen in my vehicle it’s under warranty well under the miles as well. I work at a car dealership and the touch screen issue is a big problem I get several complaints about the touch screens not working.

First time driving in the dark since I bought the car in January last Wednesday 3/10/2021. I live on a very dark street. When driving home the clearness of the windshield started to disappear until I could only see out of a small slit at the bottom f the windshield. It was as if a shade was being being pulled down. It didn't matter if I had the high beams on or not. I had a neighbor in the car and she saw the same thing. I took the car to the dealership on Friday, 3/12/21and spoke to the salesman. He said he had never heard of this issue. I thought maybe the lights were out of alignment. The salesman took the car to service. I was also there. The service person said they never heard of the issue. He took the car to an area to check the alignment. He said they were fine. I explained the way the windshield darkened makes it very dangerous to drive at night. Since they had no idea what to do. . They tried acid washing the windshield. It was during the day that I was at the dealership for this issue. Friday night, I went out at dark to see if the issue would happen again. And it did. As I was driving down the street the windshield turned dark again until there was only a small clear bottom section which was not easy to look thru. . . Thank heavens I was close to home. I hope you can help, I do not know what to do. I certainly don't want a new vehicle I can't drive at night.

Bluetooth audio background noise. I just purchased a 2021 Cr-v on 16 Feb 2021. I traded my 2018 Honda Cr-v in for this new vehicle. The entire time I owned the 2018 Cr-v, anyone I called complained of the background noise when using the bluetooth/handsfree system. The background noise would instantly go away when disconnecting from the Honda system and using the phones internal speakers. The dealerships replaced the microphone, the issue remained! now with the 2021 Cr-v again the issue with the bluetooth/handsfree is present. Why has this not been addressed with Honda? this occurs when the vehicle is moving, parked, highway or city streets.

This vehicle can not warm up the cabin during idling. It warms up only when the vehicle is moving.
