VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My hybrid vehicle lost speed on the highway while going approximately 60 mph. The engine light started blinking. The battery charge icon started decreasing. I was able to exit the highway and pull into a parking lot. After 20 minutes, my car turned on and the battery icon showed it was charged. I drove to the dealership and after having my vehicle in the shop for several days. I forwarded an article to my contact at the Honda dealership from Autoblog dated Dec. 7, 2022 about AWD Honda CR-V's loss of power. The article mentioned a "leaking differential." The dealership came back and said they couldn't find anything wrong.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving in 55 mph zone in heavy rain and car slowed down to less than 25 mph and would not accelerate over 25 mph when I pressed the gas. Dashboard lit up amber and stated “collision mitigation braking system problem..see your dealer” and lane departure problem. Car eventually accelerated but automatically decreased speed again and I was unable to accelerate after pressing gas. This happened at least 6 separate times in a 7 mile drive home. This could have easily caused an accident because visibility was low due to heavy rain and it was nighttime.

SEAT BELTS
I purchased my Honda vehicle in Canada and legally imported it to the United States. I was contacted by my Canadian dealership and advised that there is a recall related to the seat belts. Honda describes the recall int he following terms: "Due to an improperly manufactured seat belt buckle channel, the driver and front passenger seat belt buckles may fail to latch, or may unlatch unexpectedly. An unlatched seat belt buckle may increase the risk of potential injury in the event of an accident. To resolve this issue, the affected vehicles will have both front seat belt buckles serviced by either replacing thebutton or, in some cases, the replacing the buckle assembly." The Canadian recall number is P27/P28. There is an identical U.S. recall listed on the NHTSA website as "Part 573 Safety Recall Report, 23V-158." The service Department at Sheehy Honda in Alexandria, Virginia told me they could not do the recall and they gave me conflicting information about what I need to do to get the recall work done at their dealership. One week has passed and their Service Manager has not responded to an email I sent seeking information on how to get the recall work done. I don't feel comfortable driving around with this defect, which endangers my family's safety, and I don't think Honda is following through on its obligation to complete the recall work.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Automatic Emergency Braking\Forward Collision Warning. I've got this vehicle as a brand-new about 10 months ago. Since fall 2022 there were several wrong BRAKE notifications on IP cluster screen with beeping signal while the road was clear, empty with no no precipitation weather. Probably the hill-like road surface can be a reason. Today it is sunny. My lane was clean and empty. In the left U-turn lane was a Chevrolet Tahoe or similar GMC vehicle with rear radar device noticable by rear bumper shape (it could be a reason of incident). When I was accelerating and getting closer to that vehicle but staying in my lane, my vehicle unexpectedely automatically used brackes for couple seconds until - I assume - the left vehicle has been passed or it just drove out. Several hours later my chest still aching besause of seatbelt hit. I saw similar complains at NHTSA so I was kind of ready to that...

2018 CR-V my air conditioner began to blow warm air after warranty expired. Research showed that many people are having same defect. Honda has put out service bulletin TSB APAS11162021901. The local dealer quoted 1500$ to replace seal. Honda help line declined to help with cost. We live in AZ so AC is a safety issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
2009 Honda CRV with 200,000+ miles. The brakes are spongy. Brought it to my mechanic because it is not in ideal driving condition. Checked brake pads and all that and couldn't figure it out. Upon investigation- the brake booster went bad. Replaced that at a ridiculous cost being that he had to take apart the steering column to get to the part. On my way home from picking it up, the brakes locked on me. Got it on a trailer to bring back to his house and the brakes were no longer locked up. Got it back. Brakes were ok for a little while. Took it through a car wash and as I was pulling out, the brakes were spongy again. Upon more investigation- other 2009 CRVs have experienced this as well. I spent over $2000 figuring out the brakes and they still don't work as they should.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Vehicle is going in to 'limp" mode at highway speeds without warning. All safety features including ACC, LKAS, Emergency Braking, Collision avoidance, brake hold do not work when this happens. Vehicle must be pulled over to the side of the road, shut off and then restarted to allow car to operate at normal speed until the issue occurs again ( usually 20-30 minutes later). Brought car to Honda and they confirmed fuel injector issue. Part is discontinued and new parts not available. No recall, but incidences where all warning lights come on the dash are all over user groups on the internet. Problem ALWAYS comes back to fuel injectors. The main issue is that it goes in to limp mode with no acceleration available without warning. This creates a HUGE safety issue in rush hour traffic. Honda does not acknowledge the problem with the injector and can offer no information as to when replacement injectors would be available.

Driver's door actuator failed. It gives a buzzing sound when the door is manually locked or when the auto lock engages when driving. I have contacted a Honda dealer in Bloomington, Indiana to find the information on recall replacement. Thank you for your help and guidance in this matter.

Several of the door locks on our 2008 CRV will automatically unlock after locking the car when parked making it an easy target for theft. And when the car is running and in Park, several of the door locks will not unlock making it extremely difficult to let someone into the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Today, as I was driving my automatic braking system activated without need. There was no obstacle. It was a clear and sunny day. I was driving the speed limit of 50 mph. The brakes activated so hard that if I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt I would’ve been injured. Currently my neck and back do hurt but I did not seek medical attention. This has not happened before and I have owned this vehicle for over 2 years. I have not reported the incident to my dealership yet because it is Sunday and they are not open.

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have been told that my front wheel hub bearings are going bad. My vehicle only has 31,000 miles on it and from what I understand, this issue should not occur until about 100,000 and is not an expensive repair. I did do some on-line researh, and Honda does seem to have an issue with this--although with a different model. I have contacted Honda and asked for some assistance--i.e., a free service at a dealer to determine exactly what the problem is, but they are not accepting any responsibility at this time. I am afraid that I will get stuck on the highway or it could cause an accident if the wheel is totally compromised.

STEERING
Steering feels stuck and requires extra force to move while driving. This issue started little more than a year ago, but initially, it seemed like a very minor thing; but now its getting worse. Initially, I called the dealer and showed him the recall notice no. C2N, P2O (enclosed). Dealer said my VIN no. cars were not affected by the recall notice. I would beg to disagree.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
I was pulling up to the Subway sandwich shop to pick up my lunch. I was approaching from their back ally (coming from Walgreens next door) so I could not have been going faster than a few miles per hour. As I approached the parking space the car started speeding up so I turned right to keep from going through the building and drove in circles to keep from hitting the buildings. I could not go onto the street because traffic was heavy. I kept pumping the brakes and the car did not stop until I hit a parked car and pushed that car into another car. All airbags deployed. My 16 year old grandson and I were injured, but no individuals were in the parked cars.
