ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
December 2022 two weeks after I leased the vehicle from Roush Honda, due to severe cold weather the driver side mirror cracked and I immediately reported to the dealer with photos via email communication. For 4 months I drove the car unsafely unable to use the driver side mirror, this caused anxiety, stress and dangerous especially merging on the free way and change left late. 4 months after, in April 2023 The dealer replaced the mirror to make the situation worse, and I reported immediately to the dealer. I have also communicated to the dealer management about this safety and endangerment via emails. Since April 2023 to present, while driving, the driver side mirror constantly vibrates, changes positions by itself, it is not adjustable electronically, and it is unstable. My wife and I operated and operate the vehicle over 7 months (December 2022 to present) without the ability to use driver side mirror, which caused and causes stress, anxiety and safely concerns especially merging on the free away and changing left lane. On multiple incidents almost got into terrible fetal accidents with semitrucks on the freeway caused by this unstable and un-adjustable driver side mirror. It is been unsafe over 7 months, endangering myself and my family (wife and 2 kids). Not even once, the dealer offered me rental car while they are trying to fix this dangerous issue. Please do investigate the documentations the proof is there. I am reporting this so no one or family has to go through this endangerment. The pain and suffering from this unsafe driving situation are heavy and continuous. Thanks for your help.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
While driving down the interstate at 70 miles an hour, the sunroof exploded. It sounded like a bomb. Glass went everywhere. I was nowhere near a tree and nothing fell on my car. The weather was beautiful that day and had been all week. Unless something fell from outer space, there is no way anything external caused it. It was absolutely random, terrifying, and expensive to fix. It rained the next morning and water got all into my electrical wiring which has now created a new set of problems. Problems that should all be Honda's responsibility for a clearly defective sunroof.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When the fuel injectors go bad or out in the 2019 CRV, the check engine light should just come on. Instead the CRV 2019 CRV all lights come on dashboard disabling all safety systems in the car and makes those safety systems unusable when it should just be alerting you of an engine issue. This could cause accidents with a vehicle, rather than the engine just shutting down. Honda has known about it not fixing not only fuel injector they need to be fixing the electric problem that goes along disabling the safety features. They also need to get fuel injector parts in stock. Also, the fuel injector cause further damage to other parts of the vehicle. It damages spark plugs, oil. Honda should been recalling this issue awhile. We take good care of our vehicle and have up kept this vehicle. This one needs to be fixed properly fixing just the injector not enough they have to fix the issue of the safety features where doesn’t disable the whole car along with new injectors.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My 2018 CRV began idling rough so I scheduled an appointment. When I arrived, indicated that it sounded like I needed fuel injectors which they see alot with the CRV. After diagnostics on 7/17/2023, I was given a repair estimate of $2067, then told the parts were backordered until at least 8/13/2023. I have never had to replace fuel injectors on any other car I've owned. This issue has been recalled on other models and apparently the dealerships are well aware of the issue - replacing so many of these that Honda cant keep them in stock. A $2067 repair estimate for a faulty part is unreasonable at 80,000 miles. Even more concerning is that every warning light and chime in my car is going off and the advanced safety features are disabled. I cant drive with a cell phone in my hand due to distraction but apparently it is okay to drive around with warnings, chimes and disabled safety features.

STEERING
A clicking noise and jerking of steering wheel when making turns. Feel uncomfortable and unsure of safety with this happening. This occurs at low speeds like when parking or pulling into or out off the garage, as well as at highway speed. My long time mehanic/service hears and feels it but unsure of the cause and thought maybe there was a Honda recall. No warning lights displayed.

STEERING
In September of 2012, my wife and I purchase a new Honda CR-V. We have owned it since and it has been a reliable vehicle. Unfortunately, on Friday, June 23, 2023, my wife called me from the gym parking lot stating that the power steering on her 2012 Honda CR-V was not working. I drove up to the parking lot and confirmed that the electric power steering system ("EPS" or "EPAS") was not working. When this condition exist, the steering and turning is almost IMPOSSIBLE to implement. The vehicle was towed to Space Coast Honda in Cocoa Florida late in the day. The next morning, Saturday, June 24, 2023, the dealer called and said that the EPS had failed and the module would have to be replaced. They estimated the delivery of the part to take one to two weeks. The next week, the dealer said that the part is backed ordered and would now take 2-4 weeks. On July 26, after almost five weeks of sitting in the side parking lot of the dealer, I went out to the dealer to find out more about why the part was taking so long to arrive. They then said that they have no idea when it will be available and could take a year…..or more! On Wednesday, July 26, 2003, I drove out to the dealer to remove more personal items along with starting the vehicle. When I did start the vehicle, the Power Steering functioned properly. We returned later in the day and drove the CR-V home. I have used the CR-V several times and the power steering now works fine…..BUT FOR HOW LONG? Since that time, we have found out that the failure of the Honda CR-V EPS system has been known to Honda for many years. There are numerous YouTube videos and web sites which describe this failure and Honda’s failure to address this safety concern to ensure that drivers of this model can safely and reliably utilize their vehicle. However, with no regard to the safety of the Honda CR-V driver, passengers and others around them, Honda continues to sell CR-Vs (2012-2016…and perhaps with other years affected) with this known

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
While sitting in the longest traffic jam I ever experienced on a hot summer day and not moving, suddenly all lights and driver assistant lights came on the dashboard and the parking brake engaged. I was able to release the parking brake and drive with all the lights lit on the dashboard. My vehicle had only 88K miles. A Honda dealership ran a diagnostics and reported a code po172 engine fuel trim lean so car will need injectors and fuel pipe to fix. I just paid for the diagnostics and not the repair since they were able to reset the computer to clear the problem.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have experienced my honda crv apply its automatic braking as if detects a collision but nothing is in my way. The message will flash on the screen a few seconds before. If someone is not wearing a seatbelt, they will be projected forward. I have noticed it will do it if the sun creates a shadow from a traffic light onto the road and it thinks something is in the way. Most always it is completely random and on moderate speed roadways when the person behind me may not have time to stop.

SUSPENSION
I am writing today because I am trying to avoid and accident involving injury and possible death as a result of a situation which is present on on above referenced 2018 Honda CRV, with just 54,000 miles on the odometer, we are needing to consider replacement on what would be our 3rd set of tires, as the result of premature tire wear, on the rear axle, because there is no adjustment to the upper rear control arm, we have purposefully rotated the tires and still experience premature tire wear on the inside shoulder of the tire. I consider this situation to be a manufacturing defect, as we have attempted several 4-wheel alignments, and have been told that without an adjustable rear upper control, no positive results can be reached. I am attaching a photo of one of the tires showing extreme tire wear on the inside shoulder of the tire,

STEERING
When driving the steering feels like it's resisting. I purchased the car used and noticed it at 36k miles but never owning a vehicle with auto assist features, I just thought it had to do with that. When turning the steering wheel feels like it's sticking and I have to over correct to go straight again. I brought to dealership and they said I need to replace the steering rack. I've seen where many people are having the same issue. I love my car but not now that I don't feel safe driving it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Possible faulty Body Control Module. Will not recognize either set of keys after the car has been off for a few hours. (The red light on both keys stops working. Both are somewhat new batteries.) To unlock the door, I need to use the physical key. When I hold the keyfob up to the push start, the car will turn on. Sometimes the car will start but will say something about the key not being detected in the car 50% of the time, the car will recognize KEY 1 as KEY 2 and show Key 2 driver's cluster settings. If you do not know about the physical key inside the keyfob or know about putting the keyfob next to the push start button, you will be left stranded. Other reports from a Honda enthusiast website have very similar problems with even the battery being drained overnight.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have a 2006 Honda CRV with a little over 297,780 miles. Upon starting the car, the VSA and ABS indicator lights came on along with the VSA warning triangle and would not go off until the engine was turned off. There were no accidents or any noticeable problems with the vehicle while driving on city street under good conditions. I feel that this defect is essential in ensuring the overall safety of this car. The weight of the car is significant enough that an uncontrolled skid is much more likely to end in disaster than a skid that is stopped with the VSA and ABS function working properly. I feel that Honda should recall these cars and replace the VSA modulator unit entirely at Honda's expense. And for those who have already paid for the repair - reimburse the full amount of the repair! Since this component controls brakes and stability it seems to me to be a safety issue and therefore subject to a recall.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Honda CRV Touring 2017All warning lights randomly remained on. Car braked in traffic, I could not unlock brakes.. After 2 hours of attempting you tube fixes the brakes un locked and car drove well. A few days later it happened again. When I called dealer they said bring it in. At that time they charged to scope it. They said no codes came on . A few days later my battery was leaking battery acid. I jumped the battery and brought it to Sam's Club and they replaced the battery . The car drove fine for a few days.. Then as I was driving home one evening and all the warning lights started blinking again . I took a video as I was driving in order to show dealer.. I brought the car to the deal the next day . They kept it for several days .then replaced the electronic braking system They charged $2100 plus I had a rental for 3 days . The dealer said there might be a fuel injector problem also, so if the lights start flashing bring it in . It would cost another $1800. I got the car back and drove it for about a week when all the lights started flashing . I brought it to another dealer that is 40 miles away . I told the "2nd dealer my story . They looked up my ViN. They told me the electronic brake system was covered under an extended warranty that I purchased when I bought the car . AS I was driving the blinking lights stopped . The dealer said they couldn't scope it unless lights were flashing When lights flashed I drove the car in they said it was the fuel injectors. The code was P0172. I have been without my car since June. ( it is the end of July) The fuel injectors have been disconinued.The dealership doesn't know when the parts will come in . It has been a month more and I have no car . I have spent $$$$ on rentals but it's too expensive . I am now 960 miles from home with no car for several months . I call the dealership and they do not know when the parts will come in Please advise ...

AC Discharge Hose replaced due to leak. Many people reported this same issue on online forums on the same vehicle. This is on a 1.5 L engine. Refrigerant type is R-1234yf. There was a recall on the compressor shaft seal deterioration due to this refrigerant type. Could the same be said for the discharge hose? I have already replaced my vehicles discharge hose. For diagnostics and repairs it cost between 800-1100 dollars depending on the shop due to labor. For the average American this is too expensive and some may choose not to repair the AC system and the heat is not good for families with children. There were no warning lamps the car just stopped cooling.
