FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On several occasions and even after bring the vehicle to the dealership. The Cr-V will automatically break with no car in front it. I have noticed this on the highway and streets as well. The dealership stated the sensor was dirty, but even after they "cleaned" it, the issue persist. This put me and my wife at risk for an accident since the car behind us does not expect us to brake suddenly for no reason. It also puts us at risk for losing control of the car if we turn and the car is braking. I have tried when these issues occur to override the braking by accelerating and that does not appear to work. This has occurred over 10 times since ownership of the vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Parasitic battery draw. I’m being told this is what is causing my repeated issues, I’ve had the car for 3 years and have replaced the battery 4 times. All warning lights keep cycling despite consistently having it looked at for diagnosing. Today the car would barely move- it powered on just fine, but despite depressing the gas pedal- it would barely move more than 5 miles per hour causing severe risk in the road

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Incident happened on 7/2/2022 at approximately 9:45 pm. I was driving on a 3 lane street with light traffic. Speed approximately 40mph and no vehicles in front of me when my car suddenly had the automatic braking system stop the car. All 4 passengers jolted forward and fortunately no injuries as well as no car behind to cause a collision. I feel this is extremely dangerous and could have caused a major accident or injuries. Planning to bring car in to dealership for further evaluation as well

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I just leased my crv 2020 on May of 2019 and after a week or 2 I had my car battery die on me. Jump started it and took it to Honda and they said they will change the battery. After 2 weeks it happened again and they changed it again. Around March of this year 2022 it happened again and they changed it again. And today it won’t start again. Since it’s 4th of July weekend I have to take it to them Tuesday.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was driving down a straight 4 lane road, no vehicles around me or in front of me, going 45mph, and my vehicle emergency braked for no reason. It didn’t even give me the normal braking warning on my dash it should, it just braked out of no where. I had my hand on the shift stick and the braking whiplashed and I accidentally hit my car out of Drive into Neutral, and that appeared to stop the emergency braking. As soon as I put the car back in Drive it was like the vehicle hadn’t even emergency braked in the first place.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving at approx 20 miles per hour and the automatic braking system activated and the car came to an immediate stop. Luckily the car behind me was at a sufficient distance - or this would have been a rear end collision. This was extremely frightening and I found it difficult to drive the rest of the way home. I took side roads instead of the highway. This is a very terrifying incident that could potentially have resulted in a serious accident to myself, my passengers and others. My lease ends in December 2022 but I don't feel I can ever safely drive this car again.

ENGINE
Our well maintained crv suddenly began to make loud noises and stall while driving. No engine/warning lights illuminated. The low mileage CRV (60k) was immediately taken to a Honda dealership. It needed a complete engine replacement. The cause was not identified. Honda failed to make it right and acknowledge the problem. The car has also stalled while in reverse and vibrates when stopped.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
While driving felt sticking of the steering wheel when only turning left on curves or at a red light or stop sign. This occurred sporadically over a three month period but became more pronounced the last month prior to taking the vehicle to the dealership. Dealership discovered the issue was the electric power steering (EPS) had failed. This occurred 3 months after 36 month warranty had expired and 3,000 miles over the mileage limit. No warning light was displayed when issues occurred. Diagnostics was performed by dealer and fault code 32xx thru 34xx confirmed the problem was the EPS control unit. Had the unit replaced due to safety concerns when driving with family. Because of the electric system there was no way to conduct preventative maintenance. Called Honda corporation and a "Good Will Case" was opened (#13019826).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I cranked my vehicle as usual, and all of the safety feature warnings began to cycle through on the dash and ding as it changed from one alert to another. I turned the car off and restarted it, but the issue continued. I drove to the store and the warnings continued to cycle through without the dinging sound. When I arrived back home, I looked online for similar issues and found that other owners of the same vehicle had experienced the same issues. There were some owners that noted that they had been told that Honda was aware of the issue and did not currently have a fix. At the advice of one of the posters, I disconnected my battery and reconnected. It didn’t work right away, but the alerts did go away after being cranked a couple more times. The car seems to drive fine when the alerts appear, but it’s very concerning as I do not know why it keep happening and what it means about the safety features of my vehicle.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On 5 separate occasions the CRV has automatically braked HARD while driving down the highway. On none of the occasions has another vehicle or obstacle warranted this automatic braking. We were about rear-ended while on the interstate driving 70 when the car automatically braked. I am including the latest automatic braking incident in this report.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I smelt gas while driving, the smell continued. The underbody of my gar was spraying gasoline due to a faulty quick connect fitting or fuel line. Leaking gasoline is fire/explosion risk. I received no warning signals nor did the leak trigger any messages from the system.

The Automatic Emergency Braking System failed. I was driving and the car automatically braked to a complete stop on its own. No "bRAKE" light came on before, the car just braked on its own, no warning. Luckily there was no car behind me this is a street people usually drive 60 on!!! Everything flew off my seats and it hurt my entire body

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
At 41,000 miles, my 2020 Honda CR-V door lock actuator on the driver’s side rear door quit working. When I would come to a stop at a stop sign/light, it would attempt to engage and make clicking sounds. I attempted to manually lock the door and use the key fob with no luck. The door lock absolutely would not lock. I have small children in the backseat so this had to be fixed ASAP. The dealer confirmed and I had to cover all costs.
