4 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2022 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/06/2025

As I was backing out of a driveway the car suddenly accelerated in reverse. The brake did not stop or slow the vehicle. As a result the car's right fender hit a large oak tree. There was damage to the fender, the door and to the undercarriage. In addition, my wife who was sitting in the passenger seat was thrown back and she struck her head on the top seat belt connection. She had a cut in the back of her head that required an emergency room visit to the local hiospital. They did a cat scan and they used seven staples close the wound. There were several messages flashed on the dash that indicated brake and cruise control issues. These messages wer of very short duration and could not be recazlled.

5 Blind Spot Detection 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.

6 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2025 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 05/11/2025

With 700 miles on our 2025 Cr-v ex-l owned for only a month, we had just exited from a 100-mile highway trip onto city streets near our home when the driver display suddenly started flashing warnings of failures for all driver safety systems, one after another, causing us to immediately stop in the middle lane filled with traffic and not knowing what to do or how to proceed. We pulled over at the next stoplight & quickly put the car in park, which stopped the endless warnings. When the stoplight turned green, we proceeded on the half mile trip home without further warnings. We have not moved the vehicle since the incident so have no idea if &/or when this might happen again. I have since found multiple online reports of the same type of event happening to other crv owners, with dealer repair shops "guessing" what is causing the problem & "fixing" everything from fuel injectors & sensors to engine harnesses and battery replacements to vehicle computer updates and cylinder misfires, often with the problem recurring anyway. See: 1. [xxx] 2. [xxx] a number of Cr-v owners reporting this issue say their vehicle immediately slowed to "limp mode" down to 35mph on the freeway, which was very scary and dangerous! since we were driving at city speed we cannot know if our car also experienced limp mode. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

8 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/14/2025

Driver's side outside mirror has a complete horizontal crack without any visible sign of impact. This crack creates a "hall of mirrors" effect that impairs and obstructs my ability to see cars approaching from behind.

9 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/06/2025

My driver's side mirror spontaneously cracked. There was no damage done to the mirror that would cause this to happen. The mirror was intact when I pulled into my garage. An hour later I left again and the side mirror was cracked top to bottom. It is not difficult to get a non- distorted view out of my driver's side mirror and I feel it impacts the bsi as well. I have an appointment on 3/20 for inspection at the dealer. There were no issues prior to this happening. My photos show that there are no nicks, scratches or anything around the mirror at all. Also the mirror is not shattered, it's simply a clean crack down the middle.

Unknown.

11 Blind Spot Detection 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.

12 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/22/2025

The car randomly reports multiple malfunctioning of all safety components: adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, tps, hill start assist, braking, vehicle stability assist after various time period, the warnings go away and then they restart at a later point. Mechanic reported a computer readout of p0301 which is a cylinder misfire detect. A misfire should not cause safety feature on the Cr-v to sttop working.

13 Blind Spot Detection 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.

14 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 12/10/2024

The Honda dealership replaced the steering gear box as required by the recent recall. After picking up my vehicle, I noticed that the blindspot alert system was not working. The cross traffic monitor was not working. The side mirror was not beeping nor lighting up. The arrows and beeping did not occur when vehicles were driving behind me while in reverse. It appears that the sensors/radar had been disconnected or disabled although the dash settings show that they are on. After taking the vehicle back, the dealership lied and said that my 2024 Honda crv ex had never been equipped with those sensors. They were working perfectly fine before I took the vehicle in. The dealership is denying fraudulent activity and jeopardizing the safety equipment of my vehicle and the safety of myself and others. I bought the ex model specifically because of those standard features. Honda should repair and replace any damaged or removed sensors as a result of the dealers errors and fraudulent activity.

15 Blind Spot Detection 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.

16 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2021 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/21/2024

The car's forward collision warning system is defective. The car will randomly bring up "brake" on the dashboard with nothing even close to the car. This has started happening many times over the past few weeks, with even at least one instance of the car braking on its own. I brought this up to the dealership during my last oil change recently, and they inspected and looked into it. They said there was nothing wrong with the sensors/system and they documented it (specifically saying no problem found vehicle is operating normally at this time). However, a day or two after the dealership, the problem returned and it continues to persist. In addition to this, the blind spot warning system also randomly goes off when nothing is nearby, but not as often as the braking system, which is more dangerous in my opinion.

18 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 08/05/2024

My 2017 Honda crv has been diagnosed as needing replacement of its fuel injectors. When this problem is detected by its onboard computer system, all warning lights illuminate on dashboard display (even though they are unrelated), and all the adas safety features are disabled until the system can be reset - these include blind spot detection, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, etc. Because the car was otherwise driving fine, I explored other possible reasons for what seemed to be an issue with the electronics, such as a faulty battery. Eventually, it became apparent there was a fuel injection problem when the car went into what others have referred to as 'limp mode,' which means that it struggles to accelerate to even 5-10 mph at best. Thankfully, the two times this happened before I was able to take it to the dealership were both on residential streets without traffic. If this had occurred on an interstate or while turning left, the results could have been tragic. After some basic internet searches, it became readily apparent that hundreds of others across the country are dealing with the same identical issues I've described. Some individuals are encountering this issue when the car is only at 50-60k miles, which indicates it is not a matter of typical wear and tear. Yet, for some reason, Honda is not acknowledging this problem. This is especially disappointing and confusing seeing that Honda has either recalled or extended warranties on fuel injectors for multiple other models built during the mid-to-late 2010s (pilot, odyssey, ridgeline, and fit). I would greatly appreciate the NHTSA's assistance in ensuring that people like me do not have to pay for a very costly repair that is clearly due to a systemically faulty part, but more importantly hope that no one is involved in an accident when their safety features are disabled and/or the car goes into 'limp mode' while in an vulnerable highway or intersection situation.

19 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 06/25/2024

My car shudders when I accelerate from a stop position and during the stop, the engine revs really hard. I had an appointment to see the Honda service department on Wednesday, June 26 for a diagnostic. However, on my way home from a medical appointment on Tuesday, June 25, I stopped at the cvs. In the parking lot, in the parked position, the car shuddered violently and then I received these notices, power system problem, transmission system problem, blind spot information system problem and emissions system problem. All directed me to see the dealer.

20 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/05/2024

While driving the entire driving assist system warnings started flashing (lane assist, blind spot, acc, etc. ) resulting in a solid system break light, with none of the safety features functioning. In addition to being very distracting while driving, had I not noticed the warning lights going off , I would not have known that the safety system was off. It is very easy to miss while focusing on driving in a rainy day like today. I am writing to you directly since the last time I emailed Honda about a confirmed sw bug that results in the screen going dark, they told me it is not a safety issue and requested $180 for a sw update. When your screen goes dark when you are driving after changing the brightness on its own, and you don't see the backing off warnings, or camera, I would say it is a safety issue. While I am not writing about this specific issue, I don't trust Honda to do an honest assessment. I am unaware if Honda researched this issue yet, but have seen reports online about this issue.

21 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2024 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/30/2024

Distorted mirrors on driver and passenger side.

22 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/01/2024

All of these warning indicator messages pop up on dash: electric parking brake problem, tire pressure monitor problem,brake system problem,brake hold system problem,power steering system problem, hill assist etc. My battery was changed and my system was checked but these lights still come on frequently. This has been going on for over a year.

23 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2022 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 10/13/2023

The blind spot warning system doesn’t make a warning sound. The blind spot warnings are by rear view warning lights but they don’t always work and are difficult to see. I have had numerous occasions where I didn’t see or hear anything and I almost changed lanes into another vehicle! there needs to be a sound to alert the driver. Have not discussed with dealer yet.

24 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 07/28/2023

While sitting in the longest traffic jam I ever experienced on a hot summer day and not moving, suddenly all lights and driver assistant lights came on the dashboard and the parking brake engaged. I was able to release the parking brake and drive with all the lights lit on the dashboard. My vehicle had only 88k miles. A Honda dealership ran a diagnostics and reported a code po172 engine fuel trim lean so car will need injectors and fuel pipe to fix. I just paid for the diagnostics and not the repair since they were able to reset the computer to clear the problem.

26 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 05/01/2023

Have dealt with oil dilution the life of this vehicle, around 63k miles all lights lit up in the dash disabling all safety features. For a while this issue would come and go and the lights would clear,cel included. Brought into Honda for a diagnosis and they state that the vehicle needs new fuel injectors. Due to the cel from the fuel injectors it disables all safety features therefore putting the driver and others on the road at risk.

27 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2023 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/28/2023

Within two hours of picking new crv up, auto stop idle problem - see your dealer" message popped up. Two weeks later, 12 error messages popped up on dash. Took vehicle in 5 times for repairs after error messages popped up after each repair. Front grill, battery sensor, battery and entire harness were replaced. I don't feel confident I can trust the safety of this vehicle. In addition, this vehicle does not have blind spot warning.

28 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 12/06/2022

Turn my car on and every light on my car is currently flashing saying nothing safety wise is working. Googled it and it seems to be a major problem that Honda isn’t fixing.

29 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/25/2022

While driving on highway mph 65-75 vehicle will show break sign and give sound warning and auto break with no car in front that would indicate a need for such an event. This has happened more than a few times and each time the vehicle slows quickly enough to jerk your head forward and scare the crap out of not only myself but my children. This even happens when the cruise control is on and set.

30 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 09/25/2022

Sep 25, 2022, en route from columbus, OH to wv our 2018 Honda crv started flashing a plethora of warnings regarding braking problems, blind spot failure, lane assist failure, collision mitigation failure, and many other driver assistance failures. We pulled off the interstate, into a service station, at the nearest exit. Once the car was stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic emergency brake would not release. We had the car towed to the local Honda dealership in zanesville, OH. On oct 3, 2022 the zanesville dealership contacted us to pick up the car; they had replaced a wiring harness and control module over the rear view mirror. They said the wiring had “melted”; they said they did not have the expertise to resolve all the warnings but that the car could be driven. We picked up the car on oct 8, 2022. Within 20 miles, the car was not only flashing warnings but also constantly beeping. We made it to bruceton mills, wv before stopping for gas. Again, once stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic parking brake refused to release. The car was towed to the I-79 Honda dealership in morgantown,wv. That dealership has master electronic technicians. That was 2 months ago and the car is still there. The dealership has been in contact with Honda, inc but they simply cannot resolve the electrical problems and are awaiting a Honda field technician to troubleshoot. This was a systemic electronics failure that incapacitated all of the electronic safety features — making the vehicle unsafe to drive.

31 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2017 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 03/01/2022

While driving the emergency braking will automatically slam on the brakes when there is nothing there. It alerts of lane departure when still driving within the lane. Fails to alert of vehicle in blind spot. Issues are intermittent, but I fear they may cause me to wreck.

32 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2018 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/11/2022

I was driving through a green light at 40mph with no vehicles in front of me or next to me and in the middle of the intersection, my dash flashed with the warning to "brake" as it "detected" something in front of me. Within less than 2 seconds my vehicle lurched to a complete stop with the brakes totally locking up the vehicle. The brakes thudded to stop my vehicle entirely in the middle of the intersection. Within a couple more seconds the vehicle was totally fine and let me proceed. I was lucky I wasn't rear-ended and I'm very glad the light wasn't red by the time I was able to go through it. I was carrying my entire family in the car and everyone was so worried about riding with me that I automatically pulled over and disabled the automatic emergency braking system altogether. I've not turned it back on for fear of the vehicle getting me into an accident. I have also received blind spot warnings with nothing in my blind spots. Most specifically, I was in the right hand lane and put on my turn signal to switch into the left hand lane, and my car audibly beeped and flashed its lights. There was not a vehicle or even a barrier to my left that it could have sensed. The sensor just totally gave out. It's at the point where I do not trust anything about the car. I won't even use cruise control because I don't trust that the car's "safety features" are actually safe enough to protect me. I have not had the vehicle inspected due to the fact that this seems to be an issue with other vehicles and I can't afford a mechanic to tell me there is nothing that they can do.

33 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/03/2022

34 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 12/01/2021

I have asked questions everytime I have it in but Honda does not seem to have an answer. 1. When in cruise the car will randomly brake when nothing is in sight 2. My blind spot monitors seem only intermittently notice anyone on my passanger side of vihicle.

35 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2019 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/28/2021

During driving, all warning lights flashed on the dashboard suddenly. Reverse car caused it to have lost power, stall. Regular maintained with low mileage. Dealer rest something but did not explain what were the exact causes. I am afraid it would happen again to cause dangers.
