ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My cars automatic braking system engages when nothing is around. This has happened multiple times. One of these time I recall traveling with my child at a sped of 50-+mph. It was fearful for the both of us. This alone is dangerous, it could become deadly given different weather conditions causing loss of control of the car. I believe this issue will eventually cause someone injury and/or death. During this time my child was recovering from traumatic brain trauma. The dealership is waiting on a part the they feel should repair the issue. The emergency brake light flashed, beeped and slammed on breaks. I believe this is more than a sensor issue I believe it’s an electrical issue. The lights sometimes brighten instead of deeming in on coming traffic, there have been times that the usb port don’t work an then times that they do with the same charger, the windows an sunroof open on it’s on, the volume will max out an not turn down or off, the pixels on the screen become broken up(I have pictures) also when the car is idling the rear exhaust smalls like fumes from spray paint or something similar. I bought the car in May 2021 w/5miles - March 2023 w/about 7,500miles, I’ve had to call roadside assistance 3/4 times. I am a single mom with a young son who suffers from 4 rare diseases. I am unable to run out an get a new car. If these issues fix I’ll be on my own in the next 13 months with unnecessary expenses.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I bought this vehicle new. We have 2 key fobs and change the batteries in them when necessary. The past year, a new occurrence developed: one fob will lock the doors but not always allow them to be unlocked. I tried unlocking the doors from inside the car, using the lock/unlock on the driver's arm rest (the windows were open) but they would not unlock. I had to get the other fob to unlock the doors. This scares me!!! I called Honda but was told there have been no reported similar issues, and they told me to go to a dealer. Because the issue doesn't always happen, I can't guarantee the fob will not work when the dealer has the car. I would appreciate advice as to how to handle this issue. Many thanks!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
All the warning lights started displaying on the dashboard over the course of six months. One day they would all start coming up one at time, then when I would turn off the vehicle for an extended amount of time, they were no longer there. Finally at my oil change appointment I brought up the issue and I was told it was a fuel injector issue. Apparently they’ve had many CR-V owners come in with the same problems…over $1000 to repair!

SEAT BELTS
On February 5 2023, I attempted to buckle the front passenger seat belt on the referenced vehicle. The buckle would not latch in the assembly. We brought the vehicle to our local mechanic and it was determined that the latch mechanism was defective. I heard on the news that a recall was issued for 2018 Honda CRV's for a defective seat belt latching mechanism on March 9. 2023. I was informed that my VIN was not included in the recall and Honda stated they would not cover the repair. Either this is a striking coincidence or the recall class is not complete and needs to be expanded. I read the reason for the recall was that the parts were not made to specification. Has it been determined specifically whether the defective parts were n

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The collision mitigation system causes the vehicle to stop suddenly in the middle of the street. This happens when there is nothing in the street and when there is a pot hole cover. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership, but since this happens randomly, they were not able to reproduce the issue. The information screen goes blank and shuts off at random intervals. The first few times I took the vehicle to the dealership for repair, they reset the screen and then eventually they replaced the screen. The issue has continued to

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Since 2019, my indicator lights come on all at once, and despite it going to the dealership multiple times, it has yet to fixed, and they continue to charge me for diagnostics. Research shows that many Honda owners experience the same thing. Now I'm being told it's my fuel injectors, which is baffling. They will not address this systemic mechanical defect.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On three separate occasions the vehicle has audibly alarmed and showed (“Brake”) on the dash and then violently activated the brakes without my touching the brake pedal at a speed of over 40-50 MPH. This occurred when there was no vehicle or obstacle anywhere near my vehicle. This potentially could have caused a rear end collision if another vehicle had been behind me. I called the local Honda dealer and the service advisor told me he had heard of this happening and he had no solution other than shutting off this system each time I start the vehicle. That is unacceptable to me as this is potentially very dangerous.
