VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
**I have made the dealership aware of the ongoing situation as well as Honda Corporate but I am waiting on a call back.* A month ago, I had my car on cruise control going around 76mph on flat land. After a while, while driving on flat land, my RPM's shot up to almost 6000 and the speed got up to 88mph in less than 10 seconds. I pulled over, shut the car off so I could calm down before driving again. Later that day, I was driving around 77mph on the interstate again but this time I was NOT using cruise control and my car dropped to around 50mph almost immediately, even with my foot on the pedal all the way to the floor but the car would not accelerate. During this time the car jerked forward really hard (I was told the CVT is why) but also multiple dash lights came on. I had picture and video proof of this, took it to the dealership but they could not find any reason. Since this day, my car has lost speed multiple times while driving but the steering wheel has started locking up the last few times making it impossible to even steer and get off of the roadway while the car is dropping speed. This is a huge liability for myself with my children in the car as well as other drivers on the road, as I was almost rear-ended by an 18 wheeler yesterday when this happened. It does not do this consistently but over the past month, it has happened about 4-5 times a week, sometimes more.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Twice I was interstate speed driving and lost speed the first time I thought it was the fuel system. The car was towed to the dealership and after they " checked it out" , they told me all they found was a weak battery. The second time was a few days ago but this time, I was revving the engine as I was trying to get my car off the interstate. Thank goodness there was very little traffic. This time however, it restarted and I drove the rest of the way home.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The fuel gauge went blank. I started my car and the screen was black. I had to restart the car and press the button that shows the oil life to get the gauge to come back on. This is a new problem and I have not scheduled service yet. The car also lurches forward sometime when I put my foot on the gas pedal. It jumps like I have pressed the pedal hard. The car also bucks when I am driving. It happens when I am going between 30-40 mph. I told the technician about the problem and he said I am the first person to complain about it.

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Sometimes when I am driving on any road flat, incline, up a hill/mountain trying to merge into traffic/pass a vehicle. I think I covered all of the situations. There is a DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER or a PLAY or SOMETHING where I have to push the accelerator all the way to the FLOOR in order for it to get gas or gain speed to pass or to accomplish the task at hand. My 2020 HR-V only has a little over 17,500 miles. I also only put in gas from QT which is a TOP TIER GASOLINE. So I don’t know what the problem is but I am going to end up having a wreck because of this or worse dying because of this problem.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When the throttle is lightly applied from a stop, the vehicle suddenly leapt forward, as if we stomped on the gas pedal. We almost hit our vehicle in the garage. Other times from a stop, giving it throttle to move the HRV would not accelerate.the HR-V would begin to slow down, even if I applied more throttle. It has happened a few times. We took the HRV to the dealer and they could not resolve the problem.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
The vehicle started to encounter mechanical issues 10 days after delivery. The vehicle's radio, Apple Carplay, Bluetooth, and anti-theft system/radio unit started to encounter electrical issues, stating it had lost power. The issues were not as common at first but, grew to be persistent as the vehicle continued to be driven. The vehicle was in for service approximately 1-2 weeks ago from today's date and all the issues have started again. The issues that persist are the vehicle not being able to start multiple times in a week (does not depend if the vehicle is hot or cold, and/or if the vehicle has been recently driven or sitting), Apple Carplay consistently disconnecting, the anti-theft system/radio unit continually losing power and needing to acquire GPS satellites. The dealership did conclude that the battery was at fault for the no-start issues and replaced the battery, unfortunately, that did not solve the issues and they continue to arise on a consistent basis thereafter. The other issues could not be replicated and were recommended that the phones connected via Apple Carplay be updated & repaired, the phones that were connected were already up to date in the IOS version, and the Hondailink version, and were using Apple oem cables. These issues were not solved as well, and could not be replicated by the dealership. Most recently, the vehicle had a hard time starting and refused to accelerate above 40 mph.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Every time I am driving dusk or night, I am being flashed by oncoming drivers as if I have my high beams on. Every time this happens I am using low beams. I am not usually prepared for their brights and it is difficult on my eyes. I have only had the car since November, but it has happened ever time I drive at night. I am sure it is annoying for the oncoming traffic as well, if they think I have my brights on.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The dashboard digital display of the mileage, fuel amount, date and temperature will intermittently go either completely blank or will glitch to the point of being unable to clearly read it. As I have done research online into this issue, there are many other 2019 Honda HR-V owners that are reporting/having the same issue. This is a safety issue due to not being able to rely on being able to consistently read the amount of fuel in the tank.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
UNKOWN. I was driving up an icy mountainous road at night in an unfamiliar area and the vehicle made a loud crunching noise. The vehicle did not respond to the accelerator when flooring the pedal. A number of lights appeared, some were blinking and others remained lit. Thankfully the vehicle eventually began to operate as normal. However, this event has increased in frequency, duration, and severity. Typically the warning lights would turn off within a few days after each even the lights remain on for a longer period of time and the event occurs more frequently. The noise and sensations this event creates occur more frequently during an interval and sound more serious and damaging. The car continues to react in uncertain ways, sometimes refusing to accelerate, sometimes slowing down more rapidly without breaking. The photos and videos are not from the original event date. They are however documentation of the times these lights have turned on due to an event.
