Ten problems related to automatic emergency braking have been reported for the 2019 Honda HR-V. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2019 Honda HR-V based on all problems reported for the 2019 HR-V.
The multipurpose camera that controls all advanced driver assistance fuctions malfunctions causing these systems to intermittenently not work properly or at all. It has caused the vehicle to fail to brake, and brake on its own without cause. Upon doing my own research I found numerous reports online of other owners of this make/model having the same issue. The problem first occured when my vehicle reached about 50,000 miles. It has been ongoing since. It caused damage to my vehicle when the automatic collision assist failed to brake for a vehicle that stopped abruptly in front of me. The alerts that these systems are not working do not always show up when the vehicle starts. Sometimes they stop working in the middle of the route. I have been in correspondence with the dealership who informed me the cost to fix this issue is $1968 (this does not include the $150 diagnostic fee while the vehicle was being serviced for a recall related to the fuel pump - I already paid to the dealer that fee and for which I've attached my receipt. ) there is clearly some issue with the part that was installed by the manufacturer. It makes the vehicle unsafe to drive not knowing if these systems will fail or malfunction at any given moment. I do not feel as the customer this should be my responsibility to have repaired, as many others report the same issue with this part. There is clearly a widespread issue that needs to be addressed in a recall in order to replace the faulty part.
The Honda sensing camera in my Honda 2019 hrv malfunctioned while driving and no longer gives me the safety features of Honda sensing. The camera does not hold a long life span it seems and Honda is not willing to help with the replacement. I think it is unfair and unsafe to allow customers to operate and use a car where the safety features will just out of nowhere disengage risking my life and my families life. The vehicle was brought into the dealership and the cost for replacement is incredibly large.
Faulty front camera sensor resulted in all adas systems to not work. (auto braking, auto high beams, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control). Forums have shown that this is an issue across platforms of the hrv, and happens at different mileage of vehicle. Mine happened at around 70k miles. Repair is $1800-$2500.
Driving and car suddenly will stop completely then accelerate. Has happened many times. Most recently last Sunday while passing a slowing car that was making a right hand turn into a driveway.
The road assist / warning systems on dashboard malfunctioned, suddenly turning on and off, all at once. This caused a safety risk, by a startling distraction while driving, and worrisome stress while the car was at rest. The the problem was reproduced or confirmed by a dealer service rep who stated the car was unsafe to drive. They witnessed all warning lights, messages flashing on and off. This malfunction occurred, June 19-20, 2024. In retrospect, the break warning light would flash on for no reason and slightly break, or engine would stall or lose velocity while driving. The car is currently being serviced by the dealership. Their assessment is the front camera needs replaced. This car is under the warranty for mileage (not driven much during the pandemic), but due to the year, it is outside of warrenty. Obviously, the cause is not wear and tear, but a faulty camera. This is concerning, given the safety issue , should this be cause for a recall and repairs, including replacement part and services, the responsibility of the Honda company and not the car owner/driver.
I recently had my car repaired for the recall and a brake job (replacing pads and resurfacing rotors). A couple of days later, I was driving on the highway at about 60mph. Suddenly, the check engine light, parking brake light, brake light, and brake system light all went on. Additionally, the car was flashing neutral, drive, and parking gears while I was in park and driving. I started to slow down and realized that as my speed got slower, each new low speed became the highest speed I could go - pressing the gas with my foot did not increase the speed. As such, I drove to a nearby garage where the lights were reset. No mechanical issues were found with the car, nor was there a warning. I then called the dealership that had performed the service (dch paramus Honda in new jersey) and I was informed that it was unlikely they would be able to diagnose any issues as the lights had been reset so the car was driveable. It seemed very dangerous that these issues could happen at any time. The brake system was put in maintenance mode during my brake job, so I suspect this was a computer issue rather than a mechanical problem.
A few days ago several lights and warning items came adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation problem, auto high beam problem and the break system light is on. I took it to my local Honda dealer- they said the monocular camera needed replacing and the break hold/emergency parking break switch needed replacing. Then 2 days later my low battery on my fob came on.
The car randomly decides to slam on it's brakes, it's becoming more frequent as time goes on, the crv and accords of the same year are already recalled due to this issue and I'm sure the hrv will need to be added to this recall.
I was driving on a curved road, going approximately 25mph (safe speed) and a car came around the curve coming towards me (also going a safe speed). We were both on the correct side of the road, no danger of a collision, but the collision mitigation braking system started to brake. Fortunately, there was no one behind me and it only engaged for a second. A message to brake came on just before the cmbs engaged.
I heard of an ongoing investigation partaining to 2019 accords and cr-vs, so I wanted to add this information: I have a 2019 Honda Hr-v, and at least twice, the automatic breaking system has engaged erroneously/at dangerous times. The most glaring incident, I was driving in one lane at ~30 mph, and there was a left turn lane with a stationary car that I approached. I was not in the turn lane, I did not try to turn into the lane. My emergency brakes detected the car, one lane over, and unsafely slammed the brakes. I ground to a halt/5 mph, on a 30-35 mph road, and was almost rear ended. Luckily, nothing happened, but since then I have started to deactivate emergency breaking.
