UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Doors locks malfunctioned intermittently as it doesn't lock and a beep goes on. One has to re-opened the door for the door to lock permanently until you need to get back into the car. The problem occurred from December 1 2022 to April 15 2023. It could be any doors. It is a safety issue for myself and others. I brought the Honda Touring several times to the Honda dealer and they claim it could not be reproduced. However I have multiple tapes to confirm the problem. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I bought the car at Auto Fair New Hampshire and the problem started after December 2022 till April 15 , 2023. Then it completely stopped . I brought up the same concern to Honda Auburn and Customer Service Honda with video tapes and it got nowhere. The same problem started again on November 1, 2023......

ENGINE
This happens at least once a week. My engine randomly stalls and restarts while driving. Sometimes it happens while I'm turning my steering wheel to the left, and other times it happens while driving on the highway. The whole car shuts down for a few seconds and then restarts and continues as if nothing was wrong. I've also had occasions where, when I turn my steering wheel, some of the features will stop working, like lane assist, cruise control, etc.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the instrument cluster and the Lane and Collision Warning Systems failed, and the instrument cluster went dark. The contact stated that the failure was a recurring failure and happened at various speeds. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the rear taillights had failed, and the Forward Collision Avoidance system was also malfunctioning. The contact stated that the vehicle reset independently when the vehicle was parked and turned off and the instrument cluster and other electrical failures regained functionality. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced and would resolve the electrical failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

ENGINE
When outside temp is below 30 degrees, the engine will not generate heat unless driven for several miles. When you stop and let car idle the engine temperature drops very low not allowing the inside cabin to remain warm. So basically if I get stuck in a snowstorm I could freeze to death because this car will maintain a warm temperature unless it’s been driven.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am having door lock issues with all my locks on my car. It started with my front passenger and now both rear are also having issues. When I click the unlock button on the keyfob they unlock then lock again. Same with the unlock button on the drivers door. When I'm driving (accelerating), the drivers door will click as if it is trying to lock even though it already is.

STEERING
The steering started sticking, jerking and making a popping noise about 5,000 miles and now at 6900 miles it is getting worse. When going straight it is the most noticeable as it feels like the steering binds and then when I adjust to the left or the right it frees up and jerks so that I have to overcompensate and then it jerks in the other direction. At speeds below 10 mph if I move the steering wheel left and right it makes a clunking sound. Randomly during a turn the steering sticks. All the above happens with the lane assist both on and off. When it got worse the dealer said it is the electronic power steering but the part is on back order so there is no immediate fix available.

TIRES
235/60R18 service bulletin 20-081 October 8 2020 after only 16000 miles and a trip to the dealership I advised that the wear and tear of every tire was different and need attention. I ask why the difference between the wear they suggested check the vehicle for problems with the suspension, nothing was found. I ask for replacement under warranty I even showed the service bulletin from honda mentioned at the top of this page , they ask me to contact the tire manufacturer witch I did, the manufacturer told me since I didn't purchase the tires directly from them warranty was denied, I went back to the manufacturer honda file a case which they denied because they didn't think my case fits the service bulletin from them. At the end I make the expense to replace the tires , what makes a huge difference in the handling of the vehicle. Case# 13736110 with honda

STEERING
Steering jerks at random, doing so more frequently during highway driving/higher speeds. This began when my vehicle hit ~10K miles and feels like it is progressively getting worse, requiring me to forcibly jerk the wheel back in order to stay within my driving lane. I did bring the vehicle to the dealer it was purchased at and they drove it 5 miles and said they could not duplicate the issue. I brought it to another Honda dealer who told me they would charge me to look into it, despite it being a safety issue in a new vehicle that is under warranty.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Purchased my car in July new. In August I got a CBMS warning for emergency brake system failure. Took it in and they said the front camera failed and needed to be replaced. It’s been on backorder since August 23. Because of this all the safety features including lane assist had to be turned off because the steering wheel would randomly jerk even when I was within the lane lines. Turned off the safety features and around 10,000 miles the steering wheel started clicking and aggressively jerking to the right or left while driving similarly to how it jerked when the safety features were on, even though they were already turned off from the previous steering wheel issues. Brought it to the dealership and they said the EPS rack failed and the care was unfit to drive. They put me in a rental since two safety issues occurred in the vehicle.

STEERING
I keep having to replace the rack and pinion due to poor steering, loose steering, and leaking fluid. Replaced in 2019, am now replacing again in 2023 after putting less than another 20k miles on the car in this four-year timespan.

STEERING
Steering becomes sticky. The steering wheel will feel like it has grooves at point, and you need to exert a bit more strength to turn. Reminds me of old cars with hydraulic power steering, when the power steering was going bad, or was running low on fluid. Noticeable at most speeds. Issue started after I clocked in 2800+ miles on the car. Bought it new in late July 2023.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, collision mitigation control, and other safety features are unavailable. Problem has been confirmed by independent service center. Has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No prior warning lamps until all warning lamps come on. Appears to be related to fuel injector failure code but the mechanic is not certain. I wonder if this is related to the fuel/oil contamination issue that this vehicle was part of a recall for.

STEERING
The steering wheel when driving gets difficult to turn, then abruptly gets easy to turn as if it is getting caught, or sticking. For example when driving straight, the wheel will not turn until you apply well over the normal force to turn the wheel. After applying this medium to heavy force to turn, the wheel ‘un-sticks’ and jerks abruptly, going back to normal force to turn. This unsettles the car and shifts the weight of the vehicle. This is dangerous especially in wet or icy conditions where these shifts are more likely to cause a loss of control. I am worried that this could get worse as the symptoms suddenly arose. This behavior is constantly noticeable while driving on the highway. It’s embarrassing to drive and other drivers or police officers may interpret the jerky driving as being under the influence. After bringing the car to a dealer, they confirmed the behavior on my vehicle as well as their test drive vehicle. There are no warning lights, and I first noticed the issue after 5-10k miles as it’s first owner.

STEERING
My steering started to feel stuck at highway and city speeds, causing more force than necessary to keep the car in the lane. This often causes overcorrecting and make the lane departure worse. This put me and others' safety at risk, as overcorrecting and shaky steering could cause accidents, especially at highway speeds. This problem has been reproduced by the dealer, and a new steering rack was ordered. There are several complaints of this same issue on forums and other online places for the CR-V and Civic as well. There was no warning or anything to indicated that this would happen.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
For months, the infotainment screen has flashed on and off or delayed in coming on after vehicle has started. The delay would take minutes or hours and eventually became days. Now the screen has been completely blank for about two weeks now. You can hear the radio and adjust it with the steering wheel controls but cannot adjust it with the volume control on the infotainment center. CANNOT access any menus/apps nor make any adjustments to any safety equipment or vehicle settings. CANNOT turn the back seat reminder on when I put a child in the backseat. The back up camera does not work. I'm sure there are other safety concerns I cannot think of when not able to access certain menus or apps on the entertainment center.
