FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The car was cranked as usual and immediately the following multiple warnings began scrolling through on screen: Hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem, tire pressure monitor problem. The car was driven directly to Van York Honda Dealership in High Point, NC. Their diagnosis was "needs injectors and pipe". The service representative informed me that the injectors are on backorder with no estimated time of arrival, and you can drive your car, but we do not what it may do. So, the safety issue is that at any point the injectors could fail. After doing my own research, I have been made aware of many others with Honda CRV are having the same problem diagnosed with fuel injectors and are on backorder. I notified American Honda, but they cannot give an estimated time of arrival for injectors either.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Bought the car in August 2019. After a few days I saw the touchscreen beeping for no reason as if buttons on the screen were pressed. That still happens every 6 months or so. From “time to time “Brake" warnings show for no reason when the road is completely open once in a while (which could be very dangerous if it automatically applied brakes for "emergency"). Over the last 4 years this must have happened 5-6 times. Had a dead battery for no reason in April 2021. AAA jump started and replaced it after the second failure the same day. The same battery problem (for no reason) happened in May 2023. I try my best not to keep any electrical systems running when I stop the engine. If I turn on the electrical (by pressing START twice) to open the windows etc, I immediately turn them off right away because it drains the battery very quickly. That’s exactly what happened in May 2023, the fan drained the battery in just one minute and “brake failure” message showed on the dashboard. Honda service was helpful. They replaced the battery and checked to make sure no drainage. American Honda simply emailed me back that there is no such electrical/battery problems even though I see many complaints online. So I wanted to report it.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
This vehicle has experienced intermittent false alarms where the emergency braking system flashed the Orange “BRAKE” symbol without due cause. This issue has occurred intermittently over the vehicles entire life. For context I purchased this car new and have been the registered and sole operator since its purchase. On 5/25/2023 the emergency braking system fully engaged the brakes without cause, brining my vehicle to a fast and hard stop on top of rail tracks in San Diego CA. No adverse outcomes happened, thankfully. There was no train coming and the vehicle behind me had enough distance and time to maneuver without causing any accidents. It is highly concerning that this software took control and engaged the brakes in a completely unnecessary situation, let alone the fact that this happened on rail tracks and could have resulted in much worse outcomes for myself and others.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The paint under the rear hatch at the top where the roof meets the rear is gone and rust is already coming thru. I have reached out to Honda Corporation of America as well as Hendrick Honda in Concord, NC where I purchased the vehicle, however both have refused to help me. I leased the vehicle new and purchased it last April as a certified pre owned. It has a 5 year rust warranty as well as 1 year added to the new car warranty when I purchased it.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving down a straightaway road, with no cars ahead of me, when suddenly the car flashed the breaking warning on the dashboard and suddenly the cars brakes engaged very harshly. I narrowly missed getting rear-ended by a truck. The brake light warning has erroneously gone off intermittently but I have never had the car automatically and so severely brake.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was the first car in line at a red light. When the light turned green, I removed my foot from the brake and accelerated. I was probably about a car length into the intersection when the BRAKE warning light illuminated and the automatic braking system applied brake. I would describe it as the car slammed on the brakes. There was nothing at all in the intersection which would have caused the brakes to need to be applied. No debris or other vehicles turning. was very startled. I have periodically had this happen in the past but did not make note the details. I will also contact my car dealership. It does give me concern to drive the car and that my safety could be at risk.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving 55mph on a 2 lane highway the CMBS flashed the orange BRAKE on my car dash multiple times for absolutely no reason applying a slight brake. There was nothing in front of me or near the car to even set this off. Luckily no cars were behind me. I’ll have to be turning this feature off and have it looked at by my private Honda mechanic in a few weeks. This could cause a serious accident and now I’m scared to ever have this feature on!

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In stop and go traffic on I-264, Norfolk, Virginia at the top of the Berkely Bridge my car's automatic emergency braking engaged suddenly without warning. I was not close to the car in front of me and did not have my foot on the accelerator. This happened at approximately 3:45 PM. This has never happened before even though I drive in similar situations daily. I will report this to Honda and call my local dealership. From a Google search I found this has happened to other CR-V owners.

My extended warranty will cover the fuel injectors but not the pipe set which is $270 and there is a national back order issued on the parts needed to repair the vehicle.

Had AAA come and jump it to get it to the dealer. It was going to snow for the rest of the day and we needed to get the car moved in the carport to get to our snow blower. Service closed at 5 pm. They said I could bring it and leave it in the lot for the next day. I brought it myself the next day after driving the car for an hr and starting it several times in the night. battery replaced under extended warranty plan. mileage 31,396 Was told by dealer to keep a charger on it if it was not going to be driven for more than a day.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The paint under the rear tailgate at the top is gone and surface rust has already started to come thru. Honda has had issues with several models of CRV’s with different model years resulting in recalls. This model is having the same issue. The owners manual does show a 5 year warranty no mileage for surface rust if it is a “ lack of craftsmanship “ but Honda is not wanting to stand behind this. I leased this vehicle new and bought it last year as a “certified pre owned “ which was supposed to start the new vehicle warranty over. Vehicle has never been in an accident. I know of at least one other person at my workplace with the same issue with his CRV.
