ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2012 Honda CR-V has 70,000 miles on it. I am now on the 4th battery, which is dead, and I may have to buy a 5th battery. I am replacing batteries at an average of every 2.5 years. Honda keeps telling me nothing is wrong with the electrical system, and that my battery keeps going bad for no reason. I am aware of a technical service bulletin for the problem (12-041), but Honda tells me to implement the fix, I have to buy a new battery. I am getting frustrated by getting stranded.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
- When I was switching lanes on the highway my dashboard started flashing brake system problem, steering wheel system problem, tire pressure system problem, etc. The engine light, breaker system light, battery light, steering wheel light, and a few others turned on. After coming to a complete stop my car would not turn off. After pushing the “power button” multiple times it turned off completely. - My safety and the safety of others on the road were put at risk when my car started slowing down as if the break was being pushed on its own on a 55mph highway. My car automatically slowed down to 35mph on its own causing me to park it on a solitary road next to the highway. - unknown - No - The car has shown on the dashboard to “brake” when no cars are in front of it a few times before.

SERVICE BRAKES
The car is less than 2 years old and needed complete rotor replacements due to brake pads sticking to calipers. No reason for this - pads sticking to calipers - to have occured. Car had normal driving and was parked in a garage. As well, brake fluid needed replacing a year earlier than scheduled. Again, no reason for this to have occured. Dealership could offer no explanation as to why the calipers/rotors failed and fluid was so poluted so early. After researching, it is clear that this car has issues with its braking system. I had to replace rotors and fluid at my own cost, though car is less than 2 years old. I have reported this to manufacturer, but have not recieved a response as of yet. There were also no warning lights to alert me that the brakes had failed, though the dealer says that there should have been. I have documentation of the repair.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Hello, My vehicle's door motors or actuators are not working, specifically the driver side back door and the rear baggage door. This happened as we were trying to get into the vehicle while it was raining heavily on the side of the road due to an emergency toilet brake. This of course was frustrating as we were trying to get into the car and put stuff in the car, and put us in harms way of upcoming traffic because some of us could not get in. This problem has been rampant by Honda Motor company and they had a recall regarding this issue. There were no warning lights for this. We just heard a loud buzz when we tried to open the doors.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The braking system slowed the car first then came to a complete stop and there was nothing in front of me . Luckily, I was able to really get out in front of the car behind me or it would have hit me in the rear. I took it to the Honda dealership right away & of course since they had no "error code" there was nothing to report I was told but what if I had really been hurt, what then ?? Honda has a serious problem with the brakes on the 2018 CRV. I purchased this vehicle new and I really expect better from Honda but they are not living up to the reputation they've had in the past. I don't trust the vehicle as I never know when it'll do it again.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving on I-275 freeway along with my friend to Airport. Both Lane Keep Assistant and Adaptive Cruise Control were ON. I kept cruising at 65 miles/hour and drove about 7 miles with no issues. My vehicle slowed down by detecting a vehicle ahead of me driving in 55 m/h. As the next line was free, I moved to the left line and my vehicle started accelerating to 65 m/h. It had not detected a stopped vehicle ahead of me. I expected the ACC OR CMBS features to detect and slow down my car but no alert was received. Also Automatic Emergency Breaking system not slowed down or stopped my vehicle. I applied hard breaks but the vehicle hit the stopped vehicle and both airbags deployed. Lucky that we are safe and no injuries to us but car was totaled. Progressive Auto Policy: [XXX], Police Incident Number: [XXX], Ticket Number: [XXX], Honda complaint number [XXX].

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The Emissions Systems light came on my dashboard. I took the car in to the dealer and they informed me the code "P219E" came up and the CYL 1-3 failed rich, meaning the fuel injector is not metering fuel correctly.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The car was suddenly stopped by the automatic braking system at a time when there was nothing else around me and I was moving forward under normal driving conditions. This happened during acceleration around 20-25 mph. Thankfully, there was no one behind me as that might have caused a rear end collision.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While driving, using cruise control, usually at speeds between 35-45 mph, the automatic emergency braking will engage after a vehicle, formerly in front, has completed a right hand turn. That vehicle is no longer in front of my vehicle when my vehicle begins to brake. My vehicle was automatically maintaining distance and not accelerating. I informed the Honda dealer of this at the 15,000 mile check up. The Honda dealer told me that the car was responding correctly through the side sensors. It is jarring to almost come to a complete stop and could cause a driver behind to rear end my car. This has happened at least four times.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
At approximately 10:15am on 1/7/2023, I was driving down Westport Road at approximately 45mph. As I approached the intersection at Town Center Drive the collision warning system alert started to go off. There was no car in front of me and the cars on Town Center Drive were at a stop. As I went through the light, without warning, the automatic breaking system engaged, bringing my car to a complete stop. Fortunately, there was no car behind me or there would have been a serious accident.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The forward collision or automatic brake system engaged for no reason, Zero cars on the road. The car beeped and then came to a complete stop, luckily no vehicles were behind me or I would have been involved in a car accident. The LCD screen beeps, turns on and off, brightens appears and go and down. It won’t stop until you turn the car off. It’s happened numerous times. The backseat passenger window went down and wouldn’t go up either by backseat passenger door or driver door, heard clicking by shutting the car off it fixed it.

AIR BAGS
The "passenger airbag off" light often stays on when the car is in motion and I am sitting properly in the passenger seat with the seatbelt buckled. I have tried adjusting the seat (which often doesn't work), or the light will stay on again the next time I get in even though the seat position hasn't changed. The dealer where we bought the vehicle says "nothing can be done" by them. This has happened in two rental vehicles as well (one was a CRV). I am over 65, female and weigh 95-105 lbs.
