UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The front passenger side doir actuator and the rear have not worked properly gir at least 8 years, and I was never notified of the class action lawsuit. Additionally, in July of 2014 when I took the car for the first airbag recall in Levittown, NY, the car was brought in with cold sir conditioning and returned with non working air conditioning. I am the sole owner of this car and it has been meticulously cared for and driven. I see that many others had also not been notified of the actuator problem. I am afraid to let Honda touch the car again after they broke the air conditioner while fixing the last recall.

AIR BAGS
The airbag light often turns red, indicating that airbags are not likely to be deployed if needed. This happens usually when the steering is turned in a certain way when I take left or right turn (more likely during the left turn). No accidents. I took it to the dealership for repair. The dealership says this is an issue with a faulty part (clockspring) but there is no certainty. Even the cost of a clockspring replacement is about $500. I suspect this has something to do with 2011 Honda CRV airbag light issues. However, Honda never recognized this significant safety-related issue in 2012 CRVs.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I am so disppointed and frustrated. Exactly ONE year ago my 2018 CRV had power issues. Loss power, excessive and unsafe deceleration when driving on State Highway 20. Every warning light and driver assist notification light up on the dash. My car was jerking and I had to pull to the side of the road. Thankfully not to far from home and able to drive to the house but could not get over 20MPH. Took to the dealer, fuel pump replaced at MY COST. Here we are ONE yeat later and all dash board lights on again in similar fashion. Car is currently at dealer ship with noted need for fuel injectors. I find it peculiar and upsetting as having done research 2022 and now again 2023: there have been issues with fuel pump and fuel injectors reported on NHTSA, forums, to honda and articles about the recurrent issues with the 2018 CRV and Honda does not want to be responsible. There were some recalls of the 2018 CRV but my VIN# did not identify as one. The 2018 CRV has recurrent issues in this department. My car was part of the S/B 18-114 campaign to "fix" and issue reguarding the oil/fuel mixture and here my car is having issues that I feel are a result.

Stopped at a red light then proceeded to drive through the intersection on the green light. No cars or pedestrians in front of the car. Driving about 15 - 20 mph when the automatic braking system engaged and slammed on the brakes for no reason. The jeep behind me rear-ended me then drove off.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
All safety sensors on the dashboard are lighting up without any reason. Car is able to be driven properly (for now) but every safety sensor appears when I turn the car on and when I drive the car. From what I've read on the internet, could be a fuel injection problem.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Component: Body Control Module (vehicle is sitting at the deanship). Safety of driver and 2 small children (6 year old and 18 month old) in back seat. First the remote start didn't work - that was okay, but driving down the highway 75South going home after pick up children the door locks kept going off and on, the windows kept going up and down (all windows). No warning whatsoever. However upon reading on internet the first sign of the body control module failure was when the battery kept dying and we replaced that at a cost of $200. Now we are told we can still drive the car while we wait for the part - which we are told could be 9 months to a year for the part, we would need to unhook the battery and hook it back up. Is this really what you tell a single mom, nursing student with two small children to do. What could happen if the wires a crossed and the car goes up in flames with children inside? Cannot afford to have a rental car for 9 months or more.

ENGINE
VTC actuator makes grinding sound upon cold start and reduces engine power. Has been doing it since the car had 22200 miles and had it repair and the same thing started 4 months after repair. Seems to be an ongoing problem with 2013 and 2014 CRVs

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This Honda CRV has less than 100k miles and the transmission has a faulty actuator the car shudders between acceleration 20-40 mph. As a consumer I feel that I have been taken advantage of if Honda doesn't issue a recall to this problem. You guys need to issue a recall on this problem. I did not buy a bag of Cheetos it is a lot of money that I paid for this car $23k so the car maker responsibility to correct the problem that I have noticed a lot of customers have. Thank you

STEERING
The steering wheel began slipping (without moving the wheels), especially when turning the wheel all the way to one side or another to make a turn starting in November 2022. Kept getting worse, although it was intermittent; it started trying to move the steering wheel the opposite direction when turning or while driving down the road. Dealer was unable to duplicate it a month after it started, although they recommended the replacement of the gear box (electric p/s rack). Four local mechanics checked it and three confirmed the gear box (electric p/s rack) was most likely faulty, due to the driver assist sensor issue that had been occurring in 2017 and 2018 models. The recall information for both years matched the symptoms and it kept getting worse to the point that the steering wheel intermittently slipped up to 90 degrees while holding it to make a turn. Finally had to have the electric p/s rack replaced at my cost, as the dealer wouldn't cover it. Vehicle now steering normally.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I bought the CRV new, and it now has 31,000 miles on it and was never in an accident. On three occasions the breaks engaged without warning. There was no car in front of me and no reason for the breaks to engage. The car went into a fast slowdown form 45MPH to about 10 MPH when the breaks disengaged by themselves, and the car returned to normal. When this happened the Orange BREAK banner in the speedometer window, went on. This is obviously a very hazardous defect. If I were Highway driving, someone would have surely ran into me for stopping so suddenly without any provocation. I read somewhere Honda is aware of this and is investigating it. But I worried about using the car as it may happen at any time without warning,

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
There is a KNOWN issue with Honda's Body Control Module (BCM) in 2017 Accord, Pilot, Insight, but except the CVR. Upon researching online, it looks like many 2017 CRV owners are experiencing the same issue with the BCM; CRV is not being recalled, but all other Honda models are. Bought it to our car technician, he indicated many CVRs are experiencing the same issue and recommended us to bring it to the Honda dealer. The Honda dealer wanted to charge us $1,700 to repair it, which is unacceptable when the BCM should be added into the recall as many parts are supplied by the same vender. Why did CRV is not part of the recall?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving around 50 mph there was no car in front of me then all of a sudden the car braked very hard. My son got scared so did I. I’m glad there was no one behind me cause if it did they would have hit me. I did not put my foot on the brakes, it did it automatically. Like I said I was driving regular at 50 mph. There should be a recall on this issue and see if the emergency braking sensor can be deactivated. I’m scared driving my Honda CR-V cause of that incident.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various highway speeds, the vehicle intermittently downshifted without warning. The contact stated that on one occasion, he lost control of the vehicle as the vehicle drifted into another lane, which activated the lane assist warning feature. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where he was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle; the mechanic also could not diagnose or duplicate the failure. The dealer recommended that the contact disengage the STOP/START feature each time he started the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred him to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

The engine has rattled noises when starting, I look online and a lot of people have the same problem, they said the VTC actuator’s problem, even after they changed it, the noise is back 1-2 years. Honda needs to recall and replace this part for Honda’s customers.
