As I was pulling into a parking space inside a parking structure, ground floor, my car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb, going through landscape hedge and landing on front hood of a parked vehicle outside of the parking structure. I heard the engine accelerate, but had no way of stopping or controlling the car. A very similar accident took place in this car on [xxx]. Same situation: pulling into a parking space, car suddenly accelerates; no way to stop vehicle in time to avoid accident. A separate incident report has been submitted to NHTSA. Gov on June 11, 2026 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Honda put the Cr-v lidar censor behind the logo emblem on the front grill. The logo is easy to remove, and the censors are being stolen at alarming rates. They're utterly unprotected, and cost over $2000 to fix/replace. It is a huge design flaw and it's unfair that they've saddled car owners with no ability to prevent theft, and huge replacement fees if a theft occurs. I just had the logo emblem stolen and it cost over $320 to replace. That's unacceptable and I'm really mad at whoever designed this car.
Car has been running fine and maintenance is up to date . Got up one day to leave for work and when I went to accelerate I started hearing a grinding clatter type noise ( only when accelerating at about 3k-5k rpm ) and once the car got up to needed speed it goes away . No engine light codes ( but having intermittent connection issues with obd port but never been damaged or anything) but it does it sometimes consistently and sometimes it will have a few moments under same acceleration condition or higher rpms but its never consistent. When these occur the car feels like power loss in the acceleration and a slight dragging in the drivability but again not always present. Been to exaust shop and they found nothing from. Their initial inspection. Its hard to trigger the affects since it happens randomly/intermittently. Very unsave and there are no reasons or explanations to these events.

Honda emblem & sensor stollen very easily from vehicle, took the thief seconds to take off. All features disabled! something this important & vital to the vehicle should not be that easily accessible to a thief! in researching, this issue has been reported on models in previous years! this is an extreme safety issue & should have been fixed & rectified with the new 2026 models. Will be reporting to all outlets!.
As I was pulling into a parking space, the car suddenly accelerated, ran through bushes, down a slope across a sidewalk hitting a city utility box. And jumped the curb finally stopping on the street. No other vehicles were involved and no injuries. I did not report at the time of the incident, because I thought I must have done something wrong. However a similar event occurred on may 29, 2026 (see complaint #11743489) which leads me to believe there may be a defect in the car.
They breaking mechanism engaged on its own in the vehicle came to a complete.

Fuel injector malfunction in 2017 Honda crv ex. Getting all the warning lights. Mostly it shows emission system problems.
My car is a total lemon/brick that goes into limp mode and gets stuck in accessory mode. It's a brand new Honda Cr-v 2025 less than 1250 miles. Its completely useless and makes me late for work. The car is not drivable when this happens. All safety systems are disabled, battery light, check engine light. The car states "see dealer", but the dealer refuses to work on my car. I need to report this as a safety concern so that this will turn into a recall as Honda says they are aware of the issue and can read the error codes.
El volante al girar a lado del pasajero rechina al igual cuando va DE reversa, fui con el comerciante big o tires por porque el ruido ES bastante (esa fue la primera vez) no le encontraron nada, pensé que era falta DE líquido DE frenos, pero después DE hacer el chequeo y revisar que estuviera bien igual siguió con el chirrido, luego lo lleve por segunda vez allí mismo a big o y encontraron que era un problema con la parte del volante que conecta con el rack and pinion, que lo tenía que llevar al dealership, entonces en eso ando. El parking collision no funciona, con objetos sin movimiento como un carro estacionado atrás, por lo cual si no se pone atención puede causar un accidente.
I leased a 2024 Cr-v sport hybrid in April 2024. And in early October I backed out of a parking spot. When I applied the brakes there was no response and I back into a parked car. No damage was done to it but I had an estimate of $2000. 00 to mine since it was on the hatch back door. I didn't report it because I thought it was my fault. But on Friday Nov. 29, 2024 as I was parallel parking I reversed into the spot and straighten out my vehicle. I put it into gear and started moving forward about six feet slowly. When I went to apply the brakes nothing happened again and I hit my wife’s car in front of me. The Cr-v owners club has reported a similar incident.

My 2017 Honda crv throws up all warning lights regarding tpms, lane keep assist, cruise, engine, etc. . . I've replaced the battery. I've taken it to the dealer and they just say we don't know what it is and we would like to hold it for 24-48hrs to do a diagnostic which is $250 out of pocket without a fix. Multiple forums state that this is a consistent problem with the 2017-2021 model years. One common fix is fuel injector replacement, but that only temporarily fixes the issue then all the lights come on again. It's a hazard and since all mechanisms are controlled by electronics, we need Honda to fix the issue or look into it as it's very dangerous to drive when dealers can't even isolate the issue.
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.

The object approaching warning alarm came on at two times when stopped at an intersection stop light. The first time was when an oncoming vehicle was approaching in the center of the intersection. The second time this occurred was when my vehicle was stopped for a stoplight with all surrounding cars stopped and not moving. If the collision mitigation system was working and the system activated when driving, it is my understanding that the vehicle should emergency brake causing a possible collision by a following vehicle. Took the vehicle to a dealer who stated that that they could not duplicate the problem and that they would no longer work on the vehicle for any repeat issues that they were not able to duplicate or confirm in the past creating further safety issues for myself and other drivers.
Vehicle went into crash avoidance mode unexpectedly with no vehicles directly ahead. There was a vehicle beside me in an adjacent lane. I was traveling at about 40mph and had just completed a turn when the brake warning appeared on the dash and the brakes were suddenly applied. The incident lasted for only a few seconds and the controls returned to normal. The problem this caused a sudden decrease in speed. Fortunately there were no cars nearby so I did not have any trouble. While returning home after a stop, the brake warning light momentarily appeared on the dash, but this time the brakes were not applied. This has never happened before. There has been no inspection of the vehicle at this point by anyone. As a footnote. On 23 January, the windshield was replaced by safelite auto glass who recalibrated the camera system as part of the service.
My Honda 2017 crv, ex awd touring was serviced for oil change, transmission fluid change and complementary 20-point check on August 8, 2023 by Honda dealer. Unintended sudden acceleration caused accident at a speed of less than 5 miles while parking the car in empty library parking lot oct 22, 2023 collision summary: as I was parking the car I turned into an empty parking spot with a speed of about 3 to 4 miles. A sudden burst of unintended acceleration as I turned to park caused high speed and my car hit a car parked on the opposite side, not in front but adjacent parking spot. This sudden unintended burst of acceleration so quick and forceful that as my car hit the car on the front bumper of parked car. The collision deployed the airbag. I was shaken and traumatized momentarily. I avoided bigger collision and managed to stop the car some 15 ft ahead in the empty space. The door opened only halfway due to damage on front side near drivers door. There was smoke inside the car that scared me. I was shaken and managed to come out safely. I went inside the library and called my daughter. My daughter called 911 to report about the accident to the police. The police and medical emergency came within 15 minutes. I told them that I am alright and no injuries of any type occurred. The policeman was also surprised by this unusual collision in an empty parking lot. After going over the accident he told me that he will not give me a ticket for this incidence. I provided detailed information of patrolman (name, phone number, email) to jasmine in Honda headquarter office in torrence CA. I reported issues of my 2017 Honda to Honda dealer and Honda office in torrence, CA on June 27, 2019. No action was taken than. It must be investigated. My car has done only about 25,000 miles, serviced by Honda dealer, I have a clean driving record since last 25 years. I am scared to drive after the sudden acceleration incident. I am asking Honda to give a replacement car and compensation.
When I drove at around 4-50 mph. The car lost power, stalled and all the sensors and warning were on. I also smelled gasoline inside the cabin.

Unknown car horn/ insufficient sound/ volume. Parking sensors do not work intermittently.
I was pulling into a parking space at my work parking lot, where I have been parking my car for the past 2. 5 years. I was slowly parking the crv, my foot was not applying any pressure on the gas, I was slowly easing into the parking space and as I was putting my foot on the brake to stop, it was very hard as if it was locked and the car kept going. I couldn't stop the SUV and it jumped the curb/went over the plants and crashed into a building/shattering glasses , frames, furniture and appliances as it hit the wall beam and stopped. To the Honda emergency brake system did not activate to stop the vehicle. I had no control of the vehicle as I frantically tried to brake- it was locked. I have reported a claim to state farm insurance company and to Honda claims. The auburn, CA police came to the scene and completed a report. Honda just took the facts of loss and did not conduct any investigation. My insurance company has yet to inspect the vehicle or transfer the vehicle to a Honda dealership to rule out manufacturer defect. It is sitting at their preferred shop caliber collision of rocklin, for the damage to be assessed.
The brakes of my car activated automatically while my foot was pressing neither the gas nor the brake pedal. The forward collision alert also sounded. I was traveling at around 45 mph and was suddenly slowed to about 20 mph. Afterwards, everything seemed to returned to normal. I am unsure if this is available for inspection. There were five of us in the car and we were all put in danger due to the sudden change in speed while in traffic, however no collisions or injuries resulted from this incident. This issue has been previously reported by the NHTSA. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no prior messages or symptoms.
Warning lights on the dashboard are all going on at once. Something like this happened intermittently with the adas system; occasionally they would all report a malfunction. When turning off the car and restarting the car, they would go away. Now all warning lights are going off at once. This poses a safety hazard because any real problem is obscured by the cacophony of false alarms. Other folks have reported this issue.
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep safety concern regarding an issue I have encountered with the Honda crv 2018 that I recently purchased from the Honda dealership in bellevue, washington. I purchased the aforementioned vehicle from your authorized dealership two weeks ago. However, within a few days of ownership, I began experiencing persistent all warning signals on the vehicle's dashboard. Alarmed by this situation, I immediately contacted the salesperson at the dealership who suggested that the issue may be related to the battery. They are not respsonsbile to this issue. Following their advice, I scheduled an appointment with the Honda maintenance service to address the problem. However, during the waiting period, I came across some recommendations from other Honda crv 2018 owners, who suggested resetting the software as a possible solution. Desperate to find a resolution, I followed their instructions and miraculously, the warning signals disappeared. Unfortunately, the relief was short-lived as the signals reappeared after I replaced the battery myself. Seeking another temporary solution, I reset the software once again, which resulted in the warning signals disappearing once more. However, it is disconcerting to experience such recurring issues in a relatively new purchase. These warning signals not only cause anxiety but also raise concerns about the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Considering the seriousness of this matter, I kindly request your department's intervention to investigate and request the Honda to address this issue with the utmost urgency. It is essential to determine the root cause of the warning signals and provide an effective and permanent solution to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the vehicle.
I have been receiving road mitigation problem, adaptive crude control problem, brake system warnings on my car, the dealer is taking a look at it and Honda should be held responsible as these are safety features.
All the warning lights come on at random times for all these components: adaptive cruise control automatic emergency braking blind spot warning forward collision warning lane departure warning lane keeping assistance parking collision warning rear cross traffic warning and the "ding, ding, ding" noise when the door is open also starts dinging. This has kept happening since we changed the battery last year. I have researched this issue on the internet and there are many crv owners in the same situation. Some taken their vehicle into the dealerships and have paid thousands for "fixes" that don't work. Your agency really needs to look into this. This is an urgent safety issue since we can't have all these warnings going on at any time and when will we know there really is a problem?.
Turned car on and every warning light and notification came on dash. Notifications on dash tated, tire pressure monitor 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,.
All of a sudden my dashboard lighted like a christmas tree. I got a brake system, adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation system problem lights turned on. I can’t use the cruise control.
Malfunction indicators all light up at the same time. Mechanic can't find anything wrong, but he resets the computer and the lights go off. . . . Temporarily! the lights stay on until I go back to the mechanic. This is the second time. My car is no longer under warranty. . . If I go there, it'll cost a fortune for them just to look at it, and then another fortune for charging to �fix� the problem. Car is stationary. . . Happens when I turn the car on. I live in tucson, az, so I doubt it's the weather!.
