1 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2026

The front radar sensor (behind the h emblem on the front grill) was stolen. The car still drives, but all the safety features tied to it are now disabled. Honda service center wants $119 just to diagnose it. I was then quoted ~$1,500 for the part + ~$2,000 for labor (before tax). After looking into it, this seems to be happening frequently with Cr-vs. The radar sensor is externally accessible and can be removed in minutes. Thieves know this and it’s clearly becoming a trend. This feels like a design vulnerability for such a critical safety component. What’s worse is Honda won’t even provide a free estimate even though reprogramming has to be done through them anyway.

2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2026

Took my 2026 Honda crv touring sport hybrid through the car wash exactly one month and one day after purchasing. Upon leaving, I noticed a perfect horizontal crack the length of the passenger side mirror. I was later told this was a known issue due to extreme temperature changes (low temperatures) and to report it here.
