STRUCTURE:BODY
I have always known that after entering the vehicle and beginning a trip, all four doors and hatch would automatically lock and stay locked until a passenger unlocked one of the doors. But sometime this past weekend, I began noticing that the vehicle would try to relock all doors EVERY time the vehicle accelerated after idling, which is quite often. When I pointed this out to my teenager in the front passenger seat, she noticed that the door behind the driver's seat was not locking during each attempt. She tried to lock all doors from her door, but that one would not lock. Then I tried to lock all doors from my door, but that one would not lock. When we returned home, I tried to lock all doors from my key fob, but that one would not lock. I also tried to lock that one manually with my hand, but it won't lock. This is a safety issue for multiple reasons. For one, I don't want that door to accidentally open while the car is in motion. But secondly, I currently don't feel safe parking my car anywhere outside of my garage if anyone can currently open that door.

SERVICE BRAKES, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Took my Honda CRV 2021 EX in because all of my warning lights (Critical Failure) were going off as I was driving. All safety features were failing including AWD control, braking, sensors, cruise control, etc. They replaced the battery and tested the alternator. They reset the system and said it was fixed. I picked mine up today, drove it for 10 mins on the highway and then hit the "MAIN" button on the stearing wheel to turn on the cruise control. As soon as I did that, ALL of the warning lights came on at the same time and the systems started to fail again. This is a hazard and could cause an accident at any moment. In reviewing the Honda forums, this is a massive problem with hundreds of Honda CRV EX 2020-2022 models. I'm 7000 miles over my warrant and Honda won't look at it. However, it is directly their problem and my car is only 2 years old.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On December 12, 2023 at 6:50 AM my Check Engine light came on while I was driving, the battery gauge went to two bars, and the car powered down on Route 24 (a state highway). I took it to the dealer later in the day and they could not find anything wrong. Unfortunately, this is the third time my car has powered down/gone into limp mode on a highway. On August 8th almost the exact same thing happened at almost the exact same spot on the highway (slightly uphill, a day after refueling). In August, Honda kept my car for a week to try to pinpoint the problem. There were no stored problem codes. The best guess of the dealer was some sort of engine misfire due to a fuel impurity. On October 12, 2022 I had the first power down experience on the NY Thruway. On that occasion, the temperature sensor malfunctioned (at least according to the messages and gauges). The dealer replaced the sensor.

ENGINE
Vehicle has approximately 90,000 miles and a rod broke off inside the engine causing a hole in the engine. Engine needed to be replaced. Honda reported that this happened because oil changes did not occur every 3000-6000 miles. Vehicle was purchased new October 2019 and engine failure occurred December 2023. Most recent oil change was completed 10/31/23 by Honda dealership at 89,529 miles.

ENGINE
When on the highway, if you try to match other cars speed, the car turns on the check engine and starts losing its force. When I check, it says it has a problem with misfire. P0304 & P0303. Honda changed the injectors, coils and spark plugs. The vehicle dilutes a large quantity of gas into the motor oil. 1/4 more of gas than the 3.7 quarts that the engine is supposed to have. The motor is a 1.5 engine. The car isn’t safe because I have to stop on the highway, turn it off and on then start driving again and pray that in 5 minutes the same thing won’t happen again. I’ve had to stop using the car and it’s been parked for 2 months and Honda wipes their hands clean because it’s out of warranty, yet the majority of people with this specific model have the same problem.

STEERING
Electric Power Steering is binding/sticking when making minor adjustments to keep vehicle centered in lane when driven on a straight road. When you apply more torque to overcome sticking steering it will release with a little jerk to the steering wheel and then overcorrect making it difficult to keep vehicle centered in your lane. This is less noticeable at slower speeds while more noticeable at higher speeds. This issue starts after a 15 to 30 minute drive. On icy roads the sticking steering and resulting overcorrection can cause you to loose control of vehicle which creates a safety hazard. Issue started in October of 2023. Raised issue with Honda Dealer when I had oil changed. Dealer recommended I bring vehicle back if problem persists. No warning lamps or messages have appeared. I will be returning vehicle to Dealer for evaluation.

STEERING
Steering is sticky, even with lane assistance turned off. Steering wheel resists efforts attempting to manipulate it when trying to make changes in direction, whether for turns, adjusting for curves in the road. or straightening position in lane. Steering wheel does not operate smoothly - must fight the wheel with every input. Issue is not intermittent, it is persistent, happens at all speeds, and is getting progressively worse.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Tues 12-12-23 about 7:10 am. The sun has risen. No rain or weather issues. No cars were driving in front or behind me. One lane road. Driving about 25 mph. A metal plate for road construction is across the lane. My 2019 CR-V comes to a sudden, complete stop. No warning, just beeps and slams on the brakes. Tires screech and my bags fly off the seat. Thankfully, no one was behind me or I could easily have been rear ended.This has happened to me before, two times before in a different city about 2 years ago. Day time, sunny, there was a metal plate in the lane. I was traveling 30+ mph. Again, the car just suddenly comes to a complete stop. Same thing happened in the same spot about a week later with a passenger in the car. The second time the car behind me did also have to slam on their brakes and honk, but no accident occured.I did some reading up online and found the existing investigation. I'm horrified to see that this is happening so frequently with these cars and can happen at highway speeds. I'm scared to drive my car because these metal construction plates are such a normal occurance on roads. I have not been to a dealer yet as there appears to be no fix for this yet.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving when it's raining, the anti-theft alarm goes off, the open door alarm starts beeping, and the low tire warning shows. The instrument cluster sometimes goes completely black, and on one occasion the engine shut off completely. We took the car to a Honda dealer for service and they replaced the battery but that hasn't fixed the issue. Obviously, losing the instrument cluster and power at high speeds is dangerous. This issue has occurred at least six times over the past year.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ALL malfunction indicator lights would go on at the same time intermittently. This caused safety systems to stop working and was a SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE for my family. Diagnostics at my local Honda dealer diagnosed code P0303 Cylinder Misfire/Leaking Injectors. This has been a common problem amongst various 2016-2019 Honda vehicles, and some of them have had extended warrranty coverage by Honda, however, not my 2018 CRV. The fuel injectors needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,621.18. This was a known problem at Honda, and my vehicle should have been covered with an extended warranty. Fuel injectors should not have to be replaced so early in the life cycle ( and relatively low mileage ) of a vehicle driven with care.
