FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Fuel injector System issue which disables KEY safety features of our CR-V's when it occurs. An injector issue should NOT cause safety features of the CR-V to stop working (ex. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, TPS, Hill Start Assist, Braking, etc...) In addition to the disabling key safety features, this CR-V's have reportedly gone into limp mode while at highway speeds. If this occurs to you while you have a 18 wheeler on your rear, you could potentially be in a serious injury/life event.

SUSPENSION
This year, a 2008 Honda CRV encountered an issue wherein one of the bolts on the rear trailing arm, a crucial component of the vehicle's suspension system, became lodged and partially snapped off within the rear frame of the car. This occurrence had the potential to adversely affect the vehicle's stability and handling. Coinciding with, Honda issued a recall notice for select CRVs this year. The recall was prompted by concerns about the potential development of rust and corrosion within the rear frame of these vehicles. The recall's primary objective was to address potential structural complications, such as rust-related issues with bolts and the rear suspension, which had the potential to compromise the overall safety and integrity of the CRVs. Upon inspecting the affected 2008 Honda CRV, a Honda dealership concluded that the issue involving the lodged and snapped bolt in the rear trailing arm was not directly attributable to the rust and corrosion covered by the recall notice. Consequently, Honda clarified that they could not assume responsibility for this specific problem, and the scope of the recall did not extend to cover the situation of a snapped bolt within the rear frame. In response to the situation and to mitigate potential risks, the Honda dealership proactively implemented measures. They reinforced both sides of the rear trailing arm by securely attaching a sub-bracket to the vehicle's frame. This additional structural support was designed to ensure the proper attachment and functionality of the rear trailing arm. However, since Honda's assessment indicated that the issue of the lodged and snapped bolt was distinct from the rust and corrosion specified in the recall, the vehicle's servicing was only partially addressed, leaving it in an unsafe state. The dealership recommended a nearby body shop sponsored by Honda. This body shop conveyed that the issue should be raised with Honda, as they believed the problems were interconnected.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Overnight on August 14 - 15th, 2023, it rained heavily in my area (at least 1/2"- 1" of rain fell overnight). I went out to my car at 11:30 AM on August 15,2023, to find all 4 windows AND the moonroof opened. The inside of my CRV Hybrid touring vehicle was saturated deep with water. I took it to the dealership (Motorworld in Wilkes-Barre, PA) to have the vehicle checked for a computer type malfunction. No codes were retained in the vehicles memory. I was informed that Hondas now have a key fob feature that will open all the windows and moonroof IF the buttons are pushed in the proper sequence. I read the entire 689 page owner's manual when I purchased the car new in October, 2022, 2 sentences on page on page 183 briefly mention this "feature" to let hot air out of your vehicle. (Press door unlock key one, press and hold door unlock button again and hold it within 10 seconds, and press it again and hold it within 10 seconds and your windows will all come down as well as moon roof open. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE. I do not play with my key fob, no children in home. All the seats, roof, and floor are supersaturated with rain water. This water situation can cause MOLD, just as if the car was in a flood, which can be extremely dangerous/ lethal to a person like me with respiratory issues. Also, electrical components may have been damaged because of a huge amount of water. Honda was notified and they said, call your insurance company and file a claim. The problem it caused me needs to be rectified by Honda and made right by them to me. Of note, the car nor the fob notifies the person that all the windows and moonroof were completely opened. So much damage occurred. Rain water also entered the heater/ AC ducts. Stagnation can lead to mold growth in them.

Lucky i wasn’t going any faster and there weren’t any cars immediately behind me. It did cause some pain in my back and neck and shook me up at the abruptness.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On multiple occasions, the car initiated the automated emergency braking, bringing the car to a full and sudden stop in the middle of traffic, despite there being no obstacle, and without first giving a forward collision warning. This easily could have resulted in a catastrophic crash, or at the very least whiplash, at higher speeds. I can provide dashcam footage of one of these events.

STEERING
As I am steering it seems to catch. Sometimes I think it is not gonna turn The dealer said my warranty is out and it will cost me almost $2500.00 dollars This has been going on for at least three years. This is bad for a 2018 CRV with less than 70,000 miles😡

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The radar sensor was stolen in July 2023. A Honda dealer confirmed this. Two representatives of the dealer indicated the sensor can be stolen in minutes without tools from the 2017 CRV and Honda placed the sensor elsewhere in later model CRVs to reduce its vulnerability to theft. Warning lights indicate 5 Honda-installed safety features no longer work without the sensor: adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, a collision mitigation system, a road departure mitigation system, and automatic high beams. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. When the sensor is stolen, it is sometimes yanked out quickly (my case), damaging other radar parts. The dealer mentioned above told me replacement of the sensor and repair of the radar would cost about $2700. There are unfortunately strong disincentives to repair the radar, with the result that 5 safety features no longer work: The high repair cost, coupled with the distinct likelihood of another theft given shortages of the sensor and its value, discourage repair. Further, the fact that theft claims with insurers often result in rate increases and many folks have high deductibles discourage repair. American Honda Motor Company, Inc. has refused to provide financial assistance despite its poor engineering having essentially caused the 2017 model theft problem, and despite Honda’s correction of this defect in later year CRVs. Honda also has failed to create a “kit” for 2017 CRV owners to secure the radar sensor against theft. :

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving my Honda CR-V the braking, steering and GPS started to fail. I noticed the wire from the windshield to the rear-view mirror was hanging lose. the car was almost impossible to stop. Buckeye Honda replaced the wire for $1028.97 I recently became aware that Honda has recalled a number of other models with the same problem. Should the CR-V also be recalled? I am aware of other owners having same problem. This is very dangerous since the brake and steering fail at the same time. I have the work order and receipt from Buckeye Honda however my printer copier is not working.

I received a recall notice in May 2023 about corrosion to the rear frame due to de-icing agents and I immediately called my local Honda dealer (AutoNation, Columbus GA). They told me they didn't have the parts or tools to fix the defect and to call back in 3 months. I called again today (8/14/23) and was told the same thing. They suggested I call around to other state-wide dealerships to look for one who was able to attend to the recall

STEERING
I own a 2018 CRV, which only has 36,000 miles on it. This last week I had a "diagnostic" done on it at my Honda dealership (Howdy Honda in Austin TX) due to serious steering issues I was having. ( My steering makes a clicking/creaking noise when backing out of my driveway etc, and when driving, whichever direction I turn, the steering wheel sticks in that direction so I am forced to very firmly turn the steering wheel back to where it needs to be in order to control the car.) The dealership said I needed my "power steering gear box" replaced for $3,157 plus tax! But I was told today that the parts are on back order nationwide so it could be several weeks before they get them to repair my car! I'm a single lady with no other car to drive & my dealership does not provide "loaner cars" so I'll be picking up my car & driving it home tomorrow in it's current state. There has been no recall for my VIN number concerning this issue but it appears many 2018 CRV owners are having this same issue, some causing serious accidents! There were no warning messages or lamps when the problem began. It came on gradually & the more it's driven, the worse it gets.

AIR BAGS
Date of Accident: Wednesday, August 8th 2023 Time of Accident: 12:33PM Location of Accident: Intersection of 22nd St & Camelback Rd (in front of my office) in Phoenix, Arizona Phoenix Police Responding Officer: [XXX] #[XXX] Incident/Accident Report #: [XXX] Geico Claim Number: [XXX] Assigned Adjuster from Geico: [XXX] [XXX] I was t-boned and injured by a red light runner driving recklessly on Camelback Road headed east. He hit me in the intersection. My airbags did not deploy, his did. I am a very cautious/mindful driver. I was always scared of this, as our state is the worst for red light runners. I was diagnosed with a concussion and cervical sprain. I have severe pain on the right side of my neck. I was in shock and felt immediate burning/pinching sensation. After the accident I was woozy, had vertigo, nauseous, have had a migraine since the crash and severe anxiety/panic and barely any sleep and no appetite. The crash and what happened after keeps replaying in my head. I'm having nightmares of being hit and my airbags not going off and my neck snapping and paralyzing me. Due to my concussion, I am still having some cognitive issues with speech, sensitivity to light, short-term memory, and emotional regulation. My anxiety has been skyrocketing. Mr. [XXX] and I both have Geico automobile policies. Geico found Mr. [XXX] 100% at fault during their investigation. I also wanted to include that a witness (man) was trying to break into my car, hitting my window after I was hit, while I was sitting and crying in the middle of the intersection with my seat belt still on. Him and a friend were screaming at me to move, and cussing me out. The 911 operator asked what was going on and told me not to move and let the fire department come. It was so scary. I am severely traumatized. The nightmares won't stop, I am starting therapy this week to address. Please help me.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
Vehicle had sudden clunking noise near right front tire when being driven. Vehicle had TPMS light on. Vehicle has never been in a car accident, never has hit a bump at a high speed, and has never been crashed into anything. I was alarmed and scared of the sudden loud clunking noise. I took it immediately to the Norm Reeves Honda Center to get vehicle inspected. As I drove it to the Honda Center I drove slow and with precaution in fear of the car malfunctioning on the road. The vehicle was inspected by service department and confirmed that there was an faulty issue and the vehicle must stayed from 8/12/2023 to 8/14/2023 for repairs. I received a call from Honda Center and they informed me that the vehicle had the following issue. “Right front sway link nut loose during inspection & found tire pressure was uneven”. Inspector reported that the loose nut issue came from factory and that it was indeed a faulty sway link. Honda Center did the following to repair the issue, “Retighten nut & reset tire pressure to factory specs” I now have picked up vehicle from Honda Center and the TPMS light reappeared once again. I still feel uneasy driving the vehicle. I feel uneasy knowing that my vehicle had a faulty sway link and could have potentially caused me to loose control of the steering wheel, flip/roll over and killed/injured me and/or others in a car accident. I am fearful that the nut from the sway link can loosen up again and put me at risk of danger once again.
