The vehicle was then towed to Burns Honda(325 NJ-73, Marlton, NJ 08053) where a diagnostic determined a defect with the dash harness. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure.

Just 2 months ago, when walking out to get in my 2018 Honda CRV, I found all 4 windows partway down and the roof window completely open. It has happened twice since then. What is up with this?

The vehicle seems to drive normally. When I go to turn off the car after parking, the engine turns off but the electronics do not - this uses all of the battery in the state. I took to dealership and they said bad Body Control Module (BCM). Honda recently recalled 700,000 vehicles because of BCM issues however CRV wasn't one of them - I suspect I am having the same issue - the replacement BCM, I'm told by the dealership, is backordered several months. I have a car that I cannot drive. This needs to be investigated.

- #11522275May 16, 2023AIR BAGS
On November 9, 2022, I was making a left turn while I had a green light. A car coming from the left did not stop at the red light he had and t-boned my car on the driver side. My airbags deployed as they should. However, when I came to, I smelled smoke which was coming from the airbags. I touched my forehead and realized that something had cut my face. However, no glass from my car (windows, mirrors) was broken. I have no idea where the piece of glass came from but suspect it came from one of the airbags that deployed. While this was a small piece of glass (simply noted as an abrasion by the ER), I was not severely injured by it (however, I do have a scar from the incision). But I think this is worth investigating in case there is glass in other vehicle airbags that could more seriously injure someone. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance company and was sold at auction. I am sure it could be tracked down if necessary. Because the car was totaled, it is not able to be tested. The vehicle was inspected by Honda for repair estimates only. There were no warning notices or other symptoms of the problem prior to the accident air bag deployment which shot a small piece of glass and other debris into my face and the vehicle. The debris shot into the vehicle consists or small pieces of paper or fabric.

- #11521994May 15, 2023SEAT BELTS
I received notification of the 2 seat belt recalls on my 2018 Honda CRV. I promptly made an appointment with my local dealership, Honda of Clear Lake in League City, Texas to take for repair. I made arrangements to work from home for the day since I would not have my vehicle for my lengthy commute to work and made arrangements for my neighbor to follow me to the dealership and bring me home so I could leave my car for the day. Upon arrival, I was informed my car would need to remain with them for at least 2 days to complete this safety recall. I cannot be without my vehicle for 2 days and cannot believe it takes that long to make this repair. This is not rebuilding an engine. This safety problem is not my fault or something I did. Honda should be required to complete the repairs in a half day - full day at most. Otherwise, unsafe situations will continue to be on the road since people work and do not have 2 days to be without a car especially in a city with long commutes and no viable public transportation from where I live to where I work. This dealership is a nightmare and should be held accountable for not making recall repairs in a timely manner.

Vehicle purchased 1/2020. Nov 2020 car had issues with the center screen going black. Had to pull over several times and to restart the car to get it to come back on. The round start button was flashing red when the vehicle was off, also the auto brake light has come on several times and there is no obstruction anywhere. Brought to dealer and they did a software update. mileage was 12,936. 5/16/22 Dead battery twice. Had AAA come to jump the vehicle. Took to local dealer mileage 29,641 battery test failed. replace battery under warranty. Had to leave the car all afternoon. 2/27/23 Car ran for 20 min, Went to move it 2 hrs later battery was dead. Had AAA come and jump it to get it to the dealer. It was going to snow for the rest of the day and we needed to get the car moved in the carport to get to our snow blower. Service closed at 5 pm. They said I could bring it and leave it in the lot for the next day. I brought it myself the next day after driving the car for an hr and starting it several times in the night. battery replaced under extended warranty plan. mileage 31,396 Was told by dealer to keep a charger on it if it was not going to be driven for more than a day. Seems to be some kind of electrical problem drawing the power down. Two batteries on a SUV with this mileage is not normal.

While I was driving on the highway without any cars ahead of me, the emergency braking system engaged for a few seconds. Fortunately there was not a car behind me and I was able to continue driving. I have an upcoming appointment with a Honda dealer to examine the issue. There was no prior warning of a malfunction.
