When using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to connect to the car's infotainment system to view maps and navigation instructions, the system periodically goes dark for a variable length of time. While it will often restart on its own, on occasion the driver must interact with the system to relaunch the navigation screen. During the outage, the loss of navigation instructions is a safety hazard as it forces the driver to turn their attention away from the road. The car dealer has acknowledged this is a known issue and they are awaiting a fix from the manufacturer. When I first reported the issue in June 2026 soon after purchasing the car I was told they expected a solution from Honda by September 2026. It is now the end of October and the dealer has no further information on the repair timeframe. I can provide video evidence I recorded of the problem occurring. I am also available to demonstrate the issue. There are several hundred complaints about this problem posted by other Honda owners on the Internet, many accessible by searching Reddit.

The infotainment system keeps rebooting while driving. This causes AppleMaps to disappear and leave the monitor blank. This causes safety issues for drivers who depend on the system for directions and guidance. Siri also disconnects and is unable to communicate properly. The backup camera also has a 3-7 sec delay in displaying the surroundings.

I am reporting a potential windshield safety defect involving my 2026 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, leased new on June 30, 2026. Within approximately four months, I experienced two separate windshield cracks, both developing near the edges of the glass. The original factory-installed windshield developed a crack near its edge and was replaced by Safelite through Progressive Insurance in September 2026. Approximately six weeks later, the aftermarket replacement windshield also developed a crack near its edge. I did not observe any rocks or other objects striking the windshield immediately before either incident. However, Safelite subsequently identified a small impact point on the replacement windshield and denied warranty coverage. The precise cause of the repeated cracking remains unknown. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for evaluation. The service representative briefly examined the windshield visually but did not take the vehicle into the service bay or perform a detailed inspection. I was informed that the aftermarket windshield was not covered under Honda's warranty. The original windshield is no longer installed. The replacement windshield remains on the vehicle and is available for inspection. My safety concern is that repeated windshield cracking could compromise visibility and potentially affect the windshield's structural integrity. I have encountered reports from other Honda owners describing similar windshield issues, although I cannot confirm whether the causes are related. I am requesting that NHTSA document these incidents and evaluate whether there may be an underlying issue involving windshield stress, installation, or vehicle body structure. No manufacturing defect has been confirmed.

My Honda 2026 AWD HYBIRD CRV was hit from behind while I stop at a RED light, after the impact , my CRV surging forward (unintended acceleration) after experiencing this impact. The car ran into an intersection which brake did not respond, I then use hand brake it did not stop , but until I rear ended a car in the front which was about 50 yards from me
I was pulling in (slowly, forward, to the right) into a parking space when my 2026 CRV Sport Hybrid seemed to accelerate and jolt forward. I was not accelerating. My foot was on the brake pedal, coming to a slow stop. I had to slam on the break to avoid hitting another parked vehicle. This incident left me extremely frightened and very concerned about the safety of the vehicle. Prior to this, there were no warning lamps, messages, or anything to make me think that something might be wrong with my car. We will be taking it into the dealership for a full electronic diagnostic scan. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle until this is addressed and corrected. (Another issue we had with this vehicle, a few months back, was the infotainment system suddenly giving off a high-pitched, unbearably loud sound when I started the car. The volume could not be lowered, nothing seemed to make it stop, not even restarting the car. Ultimately, I was able to reboot the entire system, and that seemed to resolve it. I'm often anxious when I start the car, wondering if this is going to occur again, it was so jarring.)
