FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
While driving on a 4 lane highway at about 60-65 MPH the automatic brake system activated. There was no apparent reason for the brakes to be applied at that time. There was no car close to me in front of me. it only lasted about a second and only slowed the vehicle down instead of bringing it to a complete stop. The risk to me was if a car had been close behind me I might have been hit from behind. The problem has not occurred since and I have not taken it to a dealer. I noticed the dash light said BRAKE but that occurred during the braking event rather than before it. I had put RainX on my windshield before leaving home and I have questioned if that had any influence on the camera seeing through the windshield. I have applied RainX on the windshield since then but I avoided putting in on the section in front of the camera.

I was driving about 25mph and my car came to a hard brake and stopped completely on its own. I did not have a brake warning light, no cars were too close in front of me. It almost caused the car behind me to rear end me. This is a 2019 Honda CRV with approximately 46,000 miles on it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My vehicle did not want to start, upon getting my vehicle checked by a mechanic my battery, starter, alternator, key fob were good. Mechanic checked the car with his computer and no problems appeared in the system. Upon checking online many Hondas and Acura's have been this issue were the car doesn’t want to start or doesn’t want to turn off. Many articles online show these issues are with the start button on these cars. The engine from my 2019 CRV almost started when using the keyless function from the key fob while outside the vehicle. My mechanic said there has to be an electrical or computer issue because the car wants to start but it’s not getting enough signal. This is a big safety issue that a car is unresponsive, if your in a parking lot or closed structure and the car does not want to turn off it can turn into a big safety hazard.

STEERING
2019 CRV After recent service (May 2023 63,000 miles) We had oil change/tire rotation. We noticed about a week later the car would make a clicking sound when turning to the left and the steering wheel would stick where it wouldn't move. We called the dealership where all service has been performed. We brought it in on the 19th of June and 2 techs and an advisor said they drove it and could not duplicate the problem. We drove off and first turn that was made the clicking sound happened and the steering wheel would stick in place. I was asked to bring in back in after complaining that it was still having the same issue. Within 30 mins I was told the power steering rack would need to be replaced at a cost of $3,110. I said this car is 4 years old and it already need 15% of its value in repairs? I am still paying on it. The dealership just said this is what is wrong with it and this is how much it is to repair. I called corporate Honda and told them I didn't believe this was something that should be tearing up at 60k miles. They talked to the dealer and said they will pay for 60% of it but I'm still on the hook for $1400. Looking at other complaints here it seems this should be a recall and covered by Honda. I advise everyone to buy an extended warranty because this is not part of the powertrain. The replaced part is only covered for 12 months 12,000 miles.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The vehicle automatically came to a screeching stop at highway speed (50 mph) with no obstructions in the roadway. Our safety and the safety of others was jeopardized because we lost control of the vehicle during the incident. The manufacturers service center is scheduled to look at the vehicle but has no record of any complaints despite thousands of similar complaints recorded online. They do not have a service bulletin to guide them in repair or testing and are unsure of the way to proceed. The ‘Brake’ light came on and flashed prior to the skid. The light is typically deployed when encroaching on another vehicle or obstacle when normally driving.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 60-80 MPH, the vehicle was jerking and shuddering. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving at slower speeds. The contact stated that the failure recurred while overtaking another vehicle, nearly causing a crash. The contact was able to merge to the right lane and continued driving at a slower speed. The contact stated that while driving at 25-30 MPH, the failure recurred. The check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact then drove to his residence at a slower speed; however, the failure persisted while driving. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the low-pressure fuel pump was replaced.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Rear backup camera has intermittent power loss and loss of entertainment system. There is also popping, cracking sounds and info screen goes off and on. I first noticed this issues about 3 months ago. It was intermittent at first but now the issue is happening all the time I first reported this problem to the Honda dealer about a month ago and they told me there has been no camera issues reported I rechecked with Honda dealer (6-28-2023) and they have had no recall notice and have not heard of this issue with the 2019 Honda CRV. The dealer would charge me $159.00 to see if they can reproduce the problem. This issue is causing an problem as I rely on the rear camera when backing. No warning lights/ messages have shown

STEERING
The steering has been "sticky" when turning and has gotten increasingly more difficult to turn and has been not operating correctly, meaning you don't know if you are going to need to overcompensate or under. We took it into the dealership for the fuel pump recall and they couldn't identify the problem. We told them to keep it for a day or two and keep trying. My wife went in and did a test drive with the foreman and he said the power rack steering and the sensors were failing and it would need to be replaced. The service advisor said it was fine to drive as my wife had a conference three hours away, but after having the car back for a week it had gotten noticeable worse with creaks and clicks when turning in particular. I called and spoke to the service manager and he said that he would not drive it to the conference, so it is basically unsafe to drive at this point as we don't know when it will fail or what kind of accident we could get in while driving it. There were no lights or warning to indicate the failure and as I said, the technician and service advisor at first couldn't identify the problem, but we are all in agreement that the steering is failing.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While exit off MD Rt 50 (exit 22) on the Arris T Allen Blvd, the AEB activated suddenly with both a flashing notification “BRAKE” on the dash and then a strong application of the brakes with no other cars in the vicinity…fortunately there were no cars immediately behind us. We were decelerating from 55 mph with 4 people in the car (all wearing seatbelts) when the incident occurred and the inertial locks on all four seatbelts engaged. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, let up on the gas pedal, and resumed normal driving. There have been previous “false indication” incidents of the flashing AEB “BRAKE” notification with no threat vehicles nearby; this was the first time that emergency braking was activated.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving 35 mph in my 2019 CRV EX, and all of a sudden, the brake started braking on its own. There was no warning, and the brake warning light came on several times with the brake braking on and off several times. There were not any objects, cars, or obstructions around. We (friend as passenger) came to a sudden stop when the braking first started up. It felt like major whiplash with jerking like motions. This lasted about 5 seconds and was just shocking. Our chests hurt afterwards, and it felt like the life was taken out of us. I was not using the cruise control/CMBS on at the time, but it was on to use if needed. I called Stirling Honda the next day about the problem and scheduled an appt. to bring the SUV in 6/22/2023. The lady did not seem to be too worried in my opinion. I actually have not been using the cruise control and CMBS at all, and actually have disabled it (turned off). This is a big safety concern, and thank God there was not a car in front of me or in back of me. I cannot imagine being at a higher speed and this happening.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have a 2019 Honda CRV, purchased new on Guam from Triple J Honda (Tamuning) on Jan 2020. As of May 2023, my car has about 32,000 miles but my car began having trouble starting [engine made sputtering(?) noises when turning the key] that morning. Then, while driving in traffic, the car had STALLED/STOPPED WORKING in the middle of rush hour (around 9AM) traffic!!! THANK the LORD, though, the traffic light had just turned red so all the other drivers were slowing down around me! I tried over & over again, but the car wouldn't start! So, the police had to stop/redirect traffic and also helped me push my car to a safe area. Almost all the warning signals on my dashboard were lit on, so I wasn't sure what caused the problem. The engine warning light was also on, so I had a towing company take my car home to replace with a new Honda battery. After placing a new Honda car battery (bought at Triple J Tamuning), it still had difficulty starting, made sputtering noises, and was drivable for only 2-3 feet, then it died again! I had to tow my car again but to Triple J Honda (Tamuning) to diagnose the problem. The service advisor told me that the reason why my car won't start is because "You have a major problem with your fuel pump." I researched online and found that 2018-2019 Honda CRV had safety recalls for the fuel pumps. So, I searched the nhtsa & owners.honda.com websites whether there's a safety recall for my car; but there's no recall showing based on my VIN. Is it true that more cars are being still being added or owners notified later about the safety recalls? This 2019 Honda CRV is the only car available to make deliveries/pick up some supplies for my (very small: me & my mom) family business. So, we really do need this car working reliably asap. If Triple J Honda says that I have to pay for the fuel pump replacement because there's no safety recall for my car's VIN, what can/should I do? How can I know or be notified whether my car will get a safety recall? Thank

SUSPENSION, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
I have owned my Honda since it had 11 miles on it, brand new in the parking lot I took it home. I’ve noticed in the past few months since September of 2022 ish the lane assist, and lane departure do not work now. Out of 100 times I drive the lane keep only works maybe 5/100 times. I called the dealership explaining how it’s a safety concern if it ever defected. And it’s not keeping me in the lane or even trying to read the lines on the road. The dealer wanted $199 just to look at it. I ended up watching a YouTube video, disconnecting and cleaning my battery, resetting all systems and computer. It fixed it for a day, then stopped working again. I haven’t taken it to the dealer because I can’t afford $199 hair for them to look at it. Also, my car is four years old and I’ve had fluid leaking out of the bottom of my car since I bought it. My mechanic and I both thought it was an oil leak. Then assumed it was factory oil from the new engine or the ac unit. Well at my last state inspection Honda wanted $1200 because my right front strut was leaking fluid. Which explains the wobbliness and uneven drive in the vehicle. I just had my tires replaced and the vehicle drives very unstable. I spent $250 on the part online and replaced it myself and it has been corrected but now I need a $130 alignment from Honda. Not been in an accident but I grew up in a mechanic family. I do all of my own maintenance with a family member on a lift.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving at 20-25 MPH on Chicago’s LaSalle Street at the Chicago River bridge the automatic braking system engaged stooping the car suddenly with a skid. No brake warning light came on nor chimes sound. It seams as though I needed to shift into park and back into drive to get going again. If someone had been behind me they would have rear ended me. Thought - given the bridge deck is metal grating, May that have set off the system?

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
This has happened several times, when cruise control is activated like 1/50 times the car will go into limp mode randomly with the brakes activating at speed. This makes it very difficult to steer and has led to me almost getting hit. I have stopped using cruise control and the problem has not happened since
