SERVICE BRAKES, SEATS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
I've reporter to Honda dealer about seat and brake pedal squeaking when pressed several times when my vehicle was under warranty. They always said its normal wear and tear. Car only had 12,000 miles on it at the time. Fast forward to 30K miles, they finally greased the brake pedal and noise went away for another 10K but returned. I was then told its hydrolic brake so it's normal. But I know its not normal to have squeaking noise like that. Moreover, seat squeaking noise has gone worse now. I can literally not take the noise to the point I try not to move at all while driving. I was told this is normal behavior and if I want to replace it it'll cost me $$$$. This should've been covered under warranty and I have few other friends and coworkers with similar issues and they're also being told to deal with it. Adaptive cruise control is ok as long as you don't change the lane or someone in front of you doesn't change the lane. I was going 45mph one night when I had adaptive cruise control turned on. It was seeing the car in front of me and there was a red light coming up. Car in front of me decided to change lane and after that my car failed to recognize the car in front of me stopping for red light. I was at 25mph due to all cars slowing down but as soon as the car front of me changed lane, my car speed accelerated to 45mph and almost hit the car stopped at red light. I slammed the brake so hard to avoid the accident that night. My entire family was freaked out after that and stopped trusting adaptive cruise control.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have been driving on a regular street at about 25-30 m/hour. There were no cars in front of me and the road was straight and clear. Suddenly emergency breaking system turned on and car has stopped. Another similar incident occurred several weeks ago when I was driving on a highway on HOV lane at about 70 m/hour and had cruise control on. These instances did not cause any accident but if there was another car behind me, it certainly would. I did not have any issues with car besides this. I have not contacted the dealer yet but if there will be another instance, I definitely would.

STRUCTURE:INTERIOR PANELS:SUN VISOR
Driver's side sun visor. This is a known issue to Honda. The original sun visor became rigid and very difficult to adjust. Honda replaced the original sun visor under warranty. The replacement has also become rigid and is very difficult to adjust. Now, the visor will not fold back into place and drops down, blocking my field of vision. I have the item available for inspection. Autonation Honda of Lewisville, Texas has confirmed this issue three times. Honda says this is a known issue and will not take further action to correct this, and since this is a common problem, there are no new sun visors available for sale, and they are currently on back order, for an unknown period of time.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Three times the vehicle would not start while at Walmart parking lot since over February 2020. I push the button to start and it wont start. The air condition/heater does not work since winter of 2021/2022. The electrical system has gone haywire twice. The lights on dashboard flash and the numbers roll all over since 2021. The door locks are not wanting to lock now for the past 12 months. while I was inside the car the door would not unlock The engine seems to stall for the past 8 months. It feels like it is not getting gas. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer three times for the air with no positive results yet.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On Thursday, 8/25/2022, I was at a red light and when it turned green the vehicle ahead of me proceeded, I began moving when suddenly the automatic emergency braking system activated for no reason as the car ahead of me at that point was at least 4-5 car lengths and there was no oncoming traffic. Aside from startling me, the car behind me almost rearended me. The brakes activated, my foot was not on the brake pedal, and the warning light flashed on the dash along with the warning beeps. At that point I put my foot on the brake and the deactivated. I reported this issue to the dealer and they had me bring the car in and determined that it was caused by a low voltage in the battery, the car it 3 years old and only has 13,979 miles on it. The dealer replaced the battery but I wonder if I will experience this issue again in the future. I have to wonder why a battery would go soon, the car was purchased new, and why a low battery would cause an issue like this that could cause an accident. If this happened on the highway it could have resulted in a serious accident.

STEERING
When driving down the highway or street, making a turn large or small the steering catches and seems to stick at any speed from15 to 75. Then it will act normal. I was doing 25 mph on a left turn corner and the steering wheel stuck turning left. I was able to turn back to right and get it to unstick but it was scary. At least I was not going real fast when it totally stuck. I called Superstion Honda in Mesa and have made an appointment to have them check it out. I did look up about what may cause this and found a recall on the steering but my VIN says no recalls on it. I definetly have a problem and hope to find out what it is. It was suggested to me to file a report on this as it could be a serious safety problem. We went on a road trip this summer July 2022 and really noticed it when we were on the freeways. And last week it actually stuck on the left turn. So we decided this is more than our imagination.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
For the last couple of weeks the drivers side lock mechanism makes loud noise, is difficult and sometimes impossible to unlock with fob or manually. This is not consistent every time I drive, but has been increasing in frequency. I have been locked out of car twice. The Fob and manual key attempts failed. I replaced the Fob battery and was able to open the car, but the loud noises, lock engagement issues are continuing and increasing in frequency. I want to see if this is a recall issue that can be addressed by a dealership.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The lock actuator is malfunctioning. When driving, the driver's door unlocks and the lights turn on overhead, and the "door ajar" light blinks and beeps. This is very unsafe, as the driver side door unlocks and stays unlocked while driving on the highway and also at slower speeds.

My wife was on her way to work and she hit a deer. The damage estimate is approximately 5000.00 to the right front end. With that much damage the air bags should have deployed but failed to do so

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A Honda CR-V 4D 4WD has the following problems including a faulty VTC actuator (a loud, grinding engine noise for approximately 4 seconds during a cold start-up), timing chain, and excessive oil consumption. This car was bought on November 17, 2016 and the VTC actuator had to be replaced 26 days later (December 13, 2016) by the Honda dealership with a total of 31,063 miles on the car. At this time, the timing chain has to be replaced along with the (intermediate shaft with seals) and the serpentine belt. All oil changes have been on time and up to date and a synthetic oil is used. With an additional 1,000 miles left to the due date of the next oil change, there was no oil present on the dip stick.

VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2002 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that when his wife opened the driver’s side door, the driver’s side power window master switch began to release a white smoke. The contact stated that eventually the smoke dissipated. Prior to the failure, the front passenger’s side window was rolled down and could not be rolled up after the failure. The contact initially called the manufacturer and was informed that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V768000 (Visibility, Electrical System) which he linked to the failure. The contact then took the vehicle to the dealer where they replaced the power window master switch; however, the repair did not correct the failure. The contact was then given an estimate to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 178,000.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The automatic transmission in the car causes the vehicle to shake and vibrate when accelerating. The faster the acceleration, the more violent the shaking.The problem seems to be when the car shifts from 3rd gear into the next higher gear(s). There is a significant, sometimes violent, shaking of the entire vehicle when shifting. The effect is that there is no confidence that the vehicle will shift according to the driver's expectations. This creates a situation where the driver can easily become distracted from nearby traffic situations, and easily cause a potentially dangerous consequence. Base on the history of Honda CRVs from 2012-2013 and earlier, this has been a common issue with Honda automatic transmissions in the past. This happens without prior warning (i.e. dashboard warning lights, messages, etc.)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
1) The following has occurred 5 separate times on 5 separate days: I was driving on a 2-lane road on 4 occasions going anywhere from 25mph to 35mph, and on a 5-lane freeway on 1 occasion going 65mph. My brakes suddenly engaged and my car came to a full stop. The "BRAKE" notification flashed on my dashboard continuously for 30 seconds to 60 seconds. I was unable to steer car for another 1-2 minutes after. Each time it felt like a slam and my body was physically moved in whiplash mode. All items in my car flew around. Each time this occurred there was not another vehicle, object or person in front of me nor beside me. However there were cars behind me. On 3 of those instances, the cars behind me swerved. On all 5 instances I was shaken to my core. I did not want to drive for a day or two after. I have been terrified ever since. I could have been killed each of those times. My son could have been killed or severely injured on 2 of those occasions he was in the passenger's seat. The other drivers who had to swerve violently to get around my car could have also been killed or severely injured. Each of those times the dashboard has lit up every single icon. I have been told I have to pay to have this problem checked out. I do not have the means for this. I purchased my vehicle brand new off the lot. This is unacceptable and honestly terrifying, both for the risk of death and injury, and financially. 2)Electric Parking Brake Problem- my car refuses to start after this event.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
For the 4th time in a year and a half, my CR-V has failed to start. I've had it in for dealership servicing twice on this issue and even replaced the battery at their recommendation. It did not fix the problem and they have since told me that they can't identify the problem and said it could be with the computer system (I did purchase an additional warranty for the computer system). In addition to the car failing to start and needing a jump start, the dashboard will start beeping and go blank, or flash a warning message that does not fit the situation. I consider this situation to be a safety issue as it leaves me without a reliable car for travel due to the uncertainty of being able to start the car. The latest episode was today and it was 88 degrees out and I had my 91 yr old father and my dog with me. Waiting for assistance in the heat was very hard on them. My father felt sick due to the long exposure to heat.
