ENGINE
The vehicle stutters when travelling 30-35 miles per hour. It has done this since I bought the vehicle. I have taken it to the Honda dealership to correct and to another mechanic. The Honda dealership say it's a problem Honda has not sent a recall on and they don't know how to fix it. It is also a hot topic on many forums regarding this vehicle.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
About 2 weeks ago on my way home from picking up my son from football practice there were some metal plates on the road where they were doing construction. It was getting dark and when we got to the plates the "brake" light started flashing and beeping then my car automatically slammed on the breaks scaring both of us. Thankfully there wasn't a car behind us or it would have definitely caused a collision. Last night again on my way to pick up my son (on another rd) I was driving and another metal plate and the same incident happened. This time my dog was in the back sleeping and she flew out of the back seat. Brake light going on/off and beeping and SLAMMED on brakes. Praise Him there was no car behind me this time either. The 2nd was worse than the 1st. I bought my CRV new in 2018. Several times all the dash lights come on but eventually they go off and I have problems with the navigation but this is too dangerous to not address. I'm not sure what to do I've no other car. I'm in a big city. Construction is everywhere and I beginning to become fearful to drive. This is too dangerous and I definitely don't anything to happen to anyone. Thank you for taking your time looking into this. Looking foward to having answers.

The failure caused another vehicle to rear-end his vehicle. No injuries were sustained and no medical attention was received. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. No police report was filed. The contact was able to drive away from the scene of the collision. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to the automatic emergency braking feature; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On 3 occasions my CRV has implemented the automatic break system when there is nothing in front of me and no reason to break. Today it happened when traveling 40+ mile an hour and the sudden break caused a near rear collision.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving at night, in the mist, approx 40 mph on city roads, my collision system flashed and brakes automatically applied. No obstacles were in front of me, and the nearest car was in the left lane (I was in the right lane), about 50 feet ahead. Four lane divided city road, speed limit 40. Not near an intersection. In the nearly 5 years of ownership, I have experienced about two dozen routine flashes of the warning without cause I could see, but never had the car automatically apply the brakes. It has happened particularly in the mist and dark, when the roads reflect lights. I have also had it happen when descending into the I-664 tunnel in the mist. This is the first instance where the car also applied the brakes.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The display audio screen dims and brightens by itself and starts changing screens, channels, and beeping obsessively. This is very distractive to the driver and pushing buttons on the screen to try and make it stop does nothing and could very easily cause a wreck from the distraction of the unit beeping, changing channels, randomly calling people and flipping screens. Honda acknowledges this issue in Service Bulletin 19-066 which I don't think owners should have to pay to have fixed and should be a recall.

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE
The contact owns a 2010 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was a scraping sound coming from the rear driver’s side of the vehicle. While driving approximately 40 MPH, there was a loud banging sound with smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to stop while depressing the brake pedal. After coasting to a stop, the contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that the rear passenger’s side suspension had failed. The vehicle was towed to the home and examined by an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the rear driver’s side lower control arm had failed due to severe corrosion of the subframe. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 159,000. The contact stated that due to the rust and corrosion, the insurance company denied the claim. The contact was forced to purchase another vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The car doors keep clicking locking and the light shows a door open. Can be turning or just driving highway and clicks. My mechanic says it’s an actuator and looked it up and seems that there was a safety recall, 2 service bulletins and a safety class action suit on this. I never received a thing on this. I called My Honda dealer and they show nothing. They just have an air bag recall which never received a letter on either.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Approximately 2-3 months ago as I was driving I smelled a warm, buring electical smell coming from the left door. Immediately after this I had noticed my driver side lock, power mirror controls, would not work on the drivers side. After speaking with my mechanic I was told that this issue has a current safety bulletin opened for it. Today I took my car to Apple Honda of York to have the recall taken care of. The issues persisted and Honda refused to inspect the door wiring. The remedy of this solution was to be as follows: Remedy Please call any authorized Honda dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The dealer will replace the power window master switch and INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR PROBLEMS, replacing it if necessary, for free. For additional questions or to get help locating a dealer, owners may contact American Honda Customer Support and Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. This dealership only replaced the switch but did not inspect the wiring or wiring harness in detail for issues that certainly could have occurred due to this safety recall. I still wonder from time to time while driving if the wiring will short causing a fire and explained this to the Honda dealership. I have followed up with Honda of America to report this issue which is currently being investigated by a case worker. (Incident #: [XXX]) I believe the dealership was not interested in resolving my safety concerns regarding this matter.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My vehicle activates the automatic braking system when there is no car or other object in front of me. This has happened several times since I have owned the car. The most recent times it malfunctioned were (1) when I was approaching a train track and (2) when I was approaching a large metal plate on the road covering up a hole in the road. It gives no warning and slams on the brakes. This is very dangerous as I am afraid of being rear-ended. I consulted my service representative at the Wolfchase Honda dealership and was told that "the system is functioning as intended". I do not believe that. There is clearly something wrong with the sensor. He claimed that the sensor was just very sensitive and there was no way to adjust it. A different representative at the same dealership claimed to have never heard of this happening. I also do not believe that. This needs to be the subject of a recall.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Car will shut off when still cold or at a complete stop and then when you press the gas to accelerate either the car will shut off and stall or will not go anywhere. Usually when that happens I put car in neutral and drive to go or put it on neutral rev it a few times then I can either drive or reverse. Already had this car serviced last year at the dealership was told faulty fuel injectors. Car drove good for about a year and now back to either stalls or doesn’t move. Really frustrating and a potential hazard especially when trying to make a left turn or right turn and stalls or doesn’t move.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Less than a year old and at 3207 miles, the vehicle would not start and showed absolutely no life. The 12v battery was completely drained and required a jump start. The battery did NOT go bad, has no dead cells and the charging system shows no issues when tested. Either the hybrid has a parasitic drain on the low-end battery or the hybrid system does not consider when the 12v battery is low, the gas engine needs to run for charging the 12v battery.
