1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/10/2025

I have 2 issues with my car - the first one has been ongoing and I should have reported it sooner - when using cruise my car will sometimes brake for no reason, it's as if the car sees something that's not there. The second one just occurred and has only happened once. I was driving on the highway using cruise and I got a message on the dash that said something like cruise control disengaged - the cruise turned off and the gas pedal didn't work so I had to coast to the shoulder. Luckily, I didn't have to cross any lanes of traffic or it could have been extremely dangerous. I plan to contact the dealer as soon as I am done with this submission. I wanted to be able to tell them that I had notified the NHTSA.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/08/2025

While using adaptive cruise control at 47mph on a local highway, automatic emergency braking activated almost stopping the vehicle with vehicles fairly close behind it nearly causing an accident.   there were no vehicles beside our car and no vehicles or objects on the road in front that could trigger the braking.   this has also happened several times at lower speeds on less crowded roads.   after the last occurrence, I took the vehicle to the prescott Honda dealership where they were unable to duplicate the problem.   they documented the problem but told me that Honda would not replace the sensors under warranty unless the Honda technician was able to duplicate the problem while driving it.   if this happened on a busy interstate highway like I-40 or I-17 at 75mph with vehicles or a large truck close behind, it could cause a serious accident.

3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/08/2025

Hi I have been trying to take care of fuel pump related recall for a while and went to millers Honda nys reg r- 4040274 3 times and every time I realize there is problems with vehicles safety features and acceleration and it won’t pass inspection. Few times it felt like as if vehicle would stop in the middle of the road because I couldn’t accelerate. Recently I was charged almost 1500 dollars for a problem they should have fixed in 2023. In 2023 I attempted to make a complaint with the dmv and they temporarily fixed the problem and it would come back time to time. Please help and investigate.

4 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/02/2025

My cruise control will not work. Lane departure is not working. All my lights are on in my new vehicle I just purchased. Bad fuel injectors seem to be the problem. Honda should recall these bad fuel injectors before a serious accident occurs.

Failure Date: 09/02/2025

On 9/2/25 all the engine lights came on on the dash. I replaced the battery and it was fine the rest of the day. Then 9/3/25 once again all the lights are on and none of the adas work.

6 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2026 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/19/2025

The contact owns a 2026 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph with the forward collision avoidance: adaptive cruise control feature activated, the vehicle independently decelerated unintendedly. The vehicle resumed normal driving operation immediately after the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where the contact alerted a service technician that the forward collision avoidance: adaptive cruise control failure was an issue with the apple carplay feature. The service technician acknowledged that the apple carplay feature was a known issue and linked the adaptive cruise failure with that same defect. The service technician reset the software to the original factory settings to correct the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and acknowledged that the apple carplay failure was a known issue. The contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200.

8 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2023 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/05/2025

All my idiot lights appeared on my dashboard. My mechanic plugged in and nothing came up so I took it to white plains Honda on Aug. 5. They called me on Aug. 14 and said my brake booster was bad. They said that they worked on trying to find the problem 12 hours. So with the diagnosis and part and labor, my cost is $5447+ tax. So I called Honda north America, got a case number. On Aug 26 Honda na said that they can’t help me. My car is at Honda crv sport hybrid 2023 with 47,440 miles on it. I’m over the 3 year or 36,000 miles and I do not have an extended warranty. Also on Aug 22, my service advisor said he could get the price down to $5,000. + tax. So I am lost on what to do.

9 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2025 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/30/2025

Twice, while making a right turn the car braked on me, I assume because a car was in the other lane of the road I was turning into. This could have been a problem and could have caused an accident if someone was behind me and my car stopped suddenly.

10 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2025 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/07/2025

Twice in the last week while driving with the adaptive cruise control on the car has gone into the "collision mitigation" mode where the brakes engage with no warning but there was nothing in front of the car to cause this to happen. Both times were going up a small hill and on the other side of the hill was a police cruiser so we presume there was something (radar?) that the police were using that caused the car to sense we were about to collide. These situations are a shock to the driver and passengers, and would be worse if the car following us were to rear end us! the radar conflicts should be nothing new to the nhsta.

12 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2025 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 05/20/2025

I am writing to formally report the theft of a sensor that occurred on 05/20/2025, which I believe was a direct result of its insecure placement. Unfortunately, its position left it vulnerable to unauthorized access and theft. I would like to raise the concern that the placement and securing method of the sensor did not adequately consider the risk of theft, especially in an area with public or easy access. I request that the matter be investigated thoroughly and that steps be taken to prevent such incidents in the future, such •reviewing placement protocols for all outdoor or publicly accessible sensors, •enhancing physical security measures (e. G. , tamper-proof casings, cctv coverage), •and, replacing the stolen equipment promptly. The car has several safety problems due to the censor missing critical safety features.

13 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 05/01/2025

On startup all safety warning lights flashed on and disabled all safety driving aids. This persisted and took to Honda dealer. Their diagnostics revealed faulty fuel injectors with code p0304 failed number 4 cylinder. Recommend replacing fuel injector go for $2000.

14 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 04/26/2025

Multipurpose (windshield) camera has failed on 5 occasions making adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, forward collision warning and lane departure warning inoperable. Camera has been completely replaced twice at considerable expense. Dealer is scheduled to investigate again.

15 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2025 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 04/18/2025

I recently purchased my 2025 Honda crv from the dealership January. I was driving with my 2025 Honda crv and I noticed that the lane keep assist was having the ping pong affect when I first picked it up but I didn't really think too much about it. I assume my vehicle just needed some drive time since it was brand new and it was the first time it was on the highway. I noticed that this function was also causing the wheel to be very stiff. I know this system is a driving assistant and is not meant to take away from actual driving and paying attention to the road. But this week the system made an over correction and caused my vehicle turn into a guardrail on the highway. The road was straight, the day was clear and the lines on the lanes were very visible. There shouldn't have been an issue. I was pulled into the guardrail on the driver's side. I was with my girlfriend, her [xxx] son and my friend at the time. Everyone was a bit shaken up, I never had that happen before. It was primarily cosmetic damage to the vehicle and no other vehicles or property was damaged. I wasn't aware there was a steering recall on this vehicle until after the incident, and the recall was posted during the time I was finalizing the paperwork with my dealership for purchasing this vehicle. I haven't taken it to a dealership since getting the vehicle because they prepared everything prior to delivery or picking it up from the port in my case. I have filed a claim with my insurance company and hopefully the vehicle can be inspected for steering issues, to include the lane keep assist. I didn't get any warnings from the vehicle during the incident and I did notice that the steering is overly controlled by the adaptive cruise control when I try to make a turn in my own lane.

16 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 04/08/2025

All emergency warning lights from adaptive cruise control,automatic brake system,lane keeping alert,forward collision warning,etc. Came up on the dasboard while driving and car losing power. . . .

17 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2023 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/25/2025

The millimeter wave radar has failed. While using adaptive cruise control the vehicle set off many alarms without prior warning. The vehicle suddenly showed that adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, road departure mitigation, frontal collision, low speed parking were no longer functioning and to see a dealer. I was not using frontal collision no road departure mitigation as these features had twice before unexpectedly applied heavy breaking without warning with no obstructions near vehicle. Fortunately no accident occurred but very unnerving to say the least. The dealer has confirmed that the millimeter wave radar has failed and will need replaced. Honda sensing is not very reliable and should be used with caution if used at all.

18 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/01/2025

So for over a year my dash lights and I mean every light from tire pressure to abs brake to lane assist every light was on. Then about three months four months ago it began going into limp mode just driving down the road. This is a 2017 Honda crv over 100,000 miles on it took it into Honda of hennessy in woodstock georgia. They said that it needed fuel injectors which over 300,000 recalls were done for the same thing except mine cost me $2200 to fix what has happened to Honda. Before I could get it to a dealership because I live over an hour and a half away, the car would just shut down and I would have to pull over stop the car crank it back up hold my breath and go till the next time it would go into limp mode.

19 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2025 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 02/21/2025

With adaptive cruise control on, without touching brake or cruise controls, while passing semi trucks (also happens but less frequently with all vehicles), the adaptive cruise control will pause or disengage, causing the vehicle to lose speed and momentum. Vehicles trailing the vehicle at this time are not aware of this sudden change in constant speed, creating a potential serious accident at highway speeds. Problem has occurred numerous time over the life of the vehicle (2 months). Is repeatable.

20 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 02/14/2025

2017 Honda crv had several warning lights came on and dealer indicated it was fuel injection problem. Dealer charged $ 1500 and fixed problem. Again this year same warnings light came on. Dealer is indicating it's due to timimg chain issue and dealer wants to pull parts from engibe to see what the problem is and depending on what the problem is fix it. Dealer wants to charge more money depending on what they find and is high cost item. Delaer is not specific.

21 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2021 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/14/2025

On highway, engaged cruise control at 70 mph. Engine light came on, simultaneously with loss of power (pressing on gas pedal did nothing) and apple carplay disconnect. We were near an exit and managed to drift off, at lower off-ramp speed engine again could respond to accelerator however was chugging very badly. Went to nearby oil change place. Mechanic there advised going straight to dealer a short distance further. Drove on to the Honda dealer, car still chugging and stopped the car until I could talk to the service person. When the car restarted it was no longer chugging. Service person diagnosed the following and said I basically needed a new engine: tech scanned vehicle and found codes p0300 random cyl misfire, p0302 cyl 2 misfire. Tech checked live data and had very little misfire coming from cyl 3, pulled all coils and plugs and found cyl 2 and 4 had the injectors still spraying with the vehicle off indicating failure of the injectors in those 2 cylinders, in cylinder 3 tech found excessive oil burning on the piston, indicating oil leaking into the combustion chamber of the motor.

22 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2022 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 12/10/2024

The module for the interpretation of sensor output caused the reporting of false alerts. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety was compromised by 10 alerts recurring alerts as I was driving at the posted speed on in interstate highway. The problem has not been reproduced. The Honda dealer inspected the vehicle at my expense. Only the Honda dealer has inspected the vehicle. The vehicle’s system indicators panel displayed the false alerts. See the attached . Pdf files. The false alerts included warning sounds. 2024-12-10_cr-v_false-alerts. Pdf 2024-12-10_cr-v_false-alerts. Jpg 2024-12-18_cr-v_diagnostics_false-alerts. Pdf.

23 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2025 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 12/10/2024

The radar sensor on our Honda 2025 Cr-v was stolen. It is apparently a very easy thing to do and has been rampant in many regions of the country. It takes about 30 seconds to take from the car, and costs thousands to replace. Honda has known about this for several years but has done nothing to fix the problem or help owners fix the problem. They did not tell us about the potential problem when we were buying the car. They have instructed their dealerships to not help customers solve the issue despite solutions available on the market from reputable companies. If one tries to go this route, Honda will void the warranty on the sensor. I'm reporting this to hopefully put some pressure on Honda to remedy this situation for all of us victims.

24 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/15/2024

It has not been looked at yet due to not having funds to get it looked at. I do know others have the same consistent issue with these models especially when they’d get around 70,000 miles. All of the warning lights the last few months would continue to cut on and off. Now they just stay on. The car drives fine though but is a safety hazard since it can’t tell us if something is wrong.

25 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 10/27/2024

Had all of the warning adaptive driver assistance systems malfunction off all of a sudden warning me to pull over and contact dealer. Car was driving fine but scared me so much that I pulled over. Awaiting to hear back from dealer. I bought the brand new 2024 Honda crv hybrid in January and it has 12000 miles on it so far.

26 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2023 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 10/01/2024

At startup, routinely see the following messages: lane keeping assist problem road departure mitigation system problem collision mitigation breaking system problem I have taken the car into multiple Honda dealers this year to fix the issue. The first told me I needed to have the body control module replaced, and that the can could try and communicate with the key fob constantly, risking battery drain and posing a safety issue. The part was replaced, but the issue persisted. I then opened a case with Honda corporate, case #: 14639406. This dealer said there was a "short" in the multipurpose camera and replaced that part. 2 months later, the issues came back.

27 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 10/01/2024

Yesterday, my car was working fine. This afternoon October 1, 2024, when I turned on the engine I saw a prompt “cmbs problem” on the screen. Warning signs/lamps lit up as well, 1. Adaptive control cruise problem, road departure mitigation system problem, collision mitigation system problem, and auto high beam problem. I have not contacted the dealership about this current issue because I plan to go to the dealership to do my oil change this coming Saturday 10/05/2024. Just an fyi, they still haven’t addressed my recall ( the 2017-22 fuel pump mtr saf recall exp2). At this time, no injury happened, but I am definitely scared of my safety using my car.

28 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2022 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/20/2024

I was driving on a straight road (daylight, dry conditions) in my 2022 Honda Cr-v (mid trim level) using my adaptive cruise control. The closest cars ahead of me, and in the periphery, were at least three quarters of a mile away. All of a sudden, the car, independent of me, slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, this did not cause an accident, but 10 minutes earlier, when I was on a crowded interstate during rush hour, the result might have been very different. As I reflect on this incident, I realize that this has happened at least twice before. However, in those cases, I thought the front sensor had picked up a curved barricade or something. But no! apparently the Cr-v randomly slams on the brakes. Clearly this is a dangerous situation that needs to be resolved. Ideally there will be a recall within the next few months to replace whatever component is causing this problem to happen.

29 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/06/2024

All driving assistance features (lane departure, adaptive cruse control, abs and other sensing components) , warning flashing on dashboard and within a second of this message speed drastically reduced to 20mph from whatever speed on running. It does not allow me to escalate but after some time it escalates on its own. Due to reduce of speed suddenly puts me, CO- passengers and other vehicles behind on risk of collision or even risk of life and same time unexpected escalation makes driver lose control. These incidents happen thrice even after service center says it fixed. This problem is reported to service center and Honda customer care. Currently the vehicle is with dealer service center.

30 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/21/2024

The car had just 44,242 miles when this problem started on 8/21/2024. Two months later, the problem persists. The safety systems of the car fail upon startup and remain this way for multiple cycles of driving the car. The reality is that I cannot check enough boxes above because the form doesn't allow me. The following warnings all come up at the same time: - emission system problem - brake system problem - brake hold system problem - power steering system (eps) problem - vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem - hill start assist problem - adaptive cruise control problem - collision mitigation system problem - road departure mitigation system problem - electronic parking brake problem - tire pressure monitor problem eventually, after some amount of time or some number of restarts, the warnings clear and the safety systems work again. Then, the problem reappears.

31 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/16/2024

Earlier this week and again today, my wife and I were using our 2017 Honda Cr-v ex when the car behaved very anomalously. In both of these instances, the car started normally and moved out onto the street, but then the engine abruptly bogged down and multiple messages of the form "xxx system has a problem" would cycle on the driver's display. At this time, the car would barely move forward or reverse, and shifting into reverse ("r") was accompanied by a noticeable jerk and a thump. The shifter display on the driver's display also appeared to be showing all of the possible shift settings at once. One or two cycles of rebooting the system on the infotainment/backup camera display appeared to clear the engine operation problem, but the error messages persisted for several miles and several restarts before they abruptly disappeared. Note that the streets here in florida are very flat, and the weather this week has been mostly hot and humid with little rain. We have about 40,000 miles on the odometer, and the car has been serviced regularly by the local Honda dealer. When this anomalous behavior is not taking place, the car seems to move and accelerate normally. Several other complaints appear to describe the same problem, and some owners report that they have been told that they need new fuel injectors. We have not yet taken our car to the dealer or other mechanic, and the problem has not yet been reproduced by the dealer or anyone other than us. This appears to be a safety issue because a sudden loss of engine power in traffic could be very dangerous. During the malfunction with reduced engine power, I recorded a video of the driver's display which I can provide upon request.

32 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2021 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/15/2024

My vehicle lost brakes as I was driving. The dealer stated it was because of wiring problem but I read where crv were having a problem with the accident mitigation system. They replaced my wiring harnes to my rear view mirror. The dealer couldn't explain why I lost power to my brakes.

33 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/15/2024

Electric parking brake failure rendered the car undrivable. The problem was addressed by dealer in 2/24 but returned in 8/24. The parking brake switch was replaced at that time but problem returned 3 weeks later. Error codes indicated left side parking brake deployed unexpectedly. Unable to release parking brakes. After replacement of parking brake switch all error messages disappeared and parking brakes worked properly. After 3 weeks parking brakes non functional and error massages indicated brakes and multiple systems not working. Due to repeated parking brake issues traded in car at a loss as reliable transportation was needed.

34 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2022 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/03/2024

The automatic emergency warning light came on 4 times when there was no reason it should have come on bc there was no chance of a collision. Two of those times the automatic braking system was activated. This was dangerous. The dealer said there is no recall and nothing they can do. In addition, many warnings appeared on the dash one after another… tire press monitor problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system prob, vehicle stability assist prob, adaptive cruise control prob, collision mitigation system prob, road depart. Sys prob, electric parking brake problem, low brake fluid, and warned to stop ASAP and put on brake.

35 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/01/2024

Multipurpose windshield camera failed which disable many of the driver assistance safety systems. Dashboard display showed constant multiple system failures that could not be turned off by driver. Replacing the multipurpose windshield camera and recalibrating the camera cleared all the system failures. Cost for repairs was $1,737 which seems extreme for a camera.
