FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
We were driving on the interstate in Las Vegas with no cars in front of us for at least 300 ft when the Automatic Emergency Braking engaged fully. Scared us to death but luckily we did not get rear ended.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I was at a complete stop at a flashing red light with my foot firmly on the brake petal. My intention was to make a left hand turn. As a truck going the opposite way started to pass in front of me, and the traffic was clear, I took my foot off the brake pedal and without touching the gas pedal the car on its own accelerated into the passing tail end of the truck. The airbag deployed and my small car was totaled.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle has a history of stumbling at low speed, especially once it stops. This stumble has stalled four times now. This happens from a cold start at random times. First noticed at 25, 213 miles, then 35,422 miles, 48,391, and most recently 49,908 miles. The first time it was taken to a dealer, nothing was found. Most recently I took it to the dealer and they immediately said corporate told them to change the fuel pump relays. This sounds like an ongoing issue with the CRV.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
While driving the emergency brake system activates and brings my car to a complete stop. It happens intermittently. The most recent was during a trip the week of June 6,2022-it occurred approximately three times on our way home. Fortunately I saw the brake light flash and tapped the brake to avoid it from coming to a complete halt. We were traveling about 60mph! I even pulled off the road and turned the car off and back on again to see if that would help! Additionally I had to turn the lane keep assist off because it malfunctioned a few weeks ago-it kept trying to pull my car outside of the lane I was in-it acted as though I was drifting out of my lane. I almost lost control of the car.

ENGINE
The pistons and piston rings have failed, and the engine burns oil rapidly. There is no indication by the vehicle of the issue as far as any dashboard lights, etc. I brought my vehicle into the Honda dealership over a year ago with a noise the car was making. I was told by Honda that my car had burned oil, and to do an oil consumption test and the results would be submitted to Honda corporate. Honda corporate forced me to do multiple oil consumption tests for over a year while my car was still in warranty. Now that my car is out of warranty, Honda corporate will not pay for my car to get fixed. This is a huge safety issue because this car in that year's make & model will burn oil to the point without making the driver aware of it until the engine combusts and can destroy the engine entirely. Anyone with this year make & model should not have to worry about their car having a factory defect and the dealer refusing to pay for it. There is nothing I could have done to cause the piston and piston rings to fail. Especially for the fact that I am the first owner of this car.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
There have been two situations in which the Forward Collision Warning system has caused my vehicle to brake incorrectly. 1) With Adaptive Cruise Control enabled, on the highway this has happened 4 times in 3 years. This seems to happen when the lane curves to the left. The car will brake unnecessarily. This has happened at different speeds between 50 - 70. I believe that the ACC is sensing the vehicle in the lane to the right of me. The sudden unexpected decrease in speed is a dangerous situation. When this has occurred, I have put my foot on the accelerator to speed as quick as possible. 2) This recently happened driving on a straight upward inclined rural road. The ACC was not on, traveling 35 mph.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
On June 17, 2022 I had front end collision. I was stopped at a traffic light and went to move up closer to the car in front of me. When I touched the accelerator my accelerated very quickly in and removed my foot from the pedal. The engine continued to rev even though my foot was on the break. I was not seriously injured. The car that I hit had 2 people in it and they looked ok at the scene. I think they are being evaluated for injuries. I am waiting to take it to Progressive Insurance Network collision center. But they don’t seem to be interested in anything but body work.

POWER TRAIN
I purchased a new Honda CR-V EXL AWD in Jan 2022 and it has only 1971 miles. Now, the transmission is completely dead with these miles. The dealership informed me that this requires a new transmission which is covered under Honda warranty. The strange thing is that I didn't receive any warning or notification in my dashboard that transmission is getting bad/worse. Luckily, the car was stopped on a residential county road but I can't imagine if the power is getting dropped and stopped on the freeway without any warning. This is one of the biggest safety concerns and this would be a life threatening incident. I have already owned a Honda civic in the past and never had any issue, but I was highly disappointed with this incident and lost confidence with Honda. Please refund my money back :-( What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request ? Ans: Transmission failed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Ans: The transmission failed without any warning and the vehicle stopped completely on the road, which is a life threatening issue, if that happens on the freeway/highways. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Ans: UNKNOWN Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Ans: This is a brand new vehicle which was bought in Jan 2022 and has 1971 miles on it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Ans: No warning or indications.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
At around 6:45pm on June 23, 2022, the emergency braking system activated as I was traveling at about 35 MPH. This occurred without warning and brought the vehicle to nearly a full stop before disengaging. Fortunately, the car behind me was able to stop before hitting me. I've reported this to the dealer and am waiting for a response. I had my seat belt on and was not on the highway, nor in a lot of traffic. This could have been a much more serious event.

STEERING
Part affected is the electronic steering gearbox assembly. Vehicle has been diagnosed by Bob Lindsay Honda of Peoria Illinois. This also shows up as a recall #P20 NHTSA 18v663000, but does not list my VIN. Steering wheel sticking has happened multiple times but never could reproduce when taken in. Finally 6/22/2022 it was diagnosed as a complete replacement of the electronic steering gearbox and rack assembly for a $3053.95 repair for a vehicle with only 48026 miles and the same recall that is out there for other vehicles in the 2018 CRV models. This has not caused any incidents yet, but as steering gets worse it may. The problem started showing up in June 2020 shortly after I purchased it but the dealer could never get it to reproduce when taken in. Finally they did in June 2022 with the above mentioned repair.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving slowly (25 mph) through an intersection when the car suddenly beeped and flashed "BRAKE" and slammed on my brakes. Another car almost hit me as he was not expecting me to stop in the middle of the intersection. All of my things inside the car flew around and the abrupt stop hurt me and my daughter in the back seat.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving on I-94 in Chicago on 6-22-2022 at approximately 50mph. There was no one in front or beside me and the AEB system braked on its own and the "BRAKE" alert on the dash flashed momentarily. The car slowed down about 10-20 mph and I brought it back up to speed. This is the only time it has happened and it was terrifying.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On Saturday June 18, 2022 at 9:56 a m I was pulling my 2017 HONDA CRV into a parking space at my local Food Lion in Madison, NC. As soon as I took my foot off the gas pedal and slowly pressed the brakes, the engine immediately revved up, accelerated highly and lurched forward not stopping until I hit an unoccupied vehicle head on in front of me. At the same time side swiping an unoccupied vehicle to the left of me. Thankfully no one was injured. Total of {3} vehicles involved causing several thousands dollars of damage. Was inspected by the police and there were no warning signs; it just happened immediately. When researching on line about problems of HONDA CRV"s this issue was listed numerous times: UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. Something needs to be done about this problem before people are killed!

My vehicle was marked salvage without me as the owner knowing until recently informed by a Carfax report at Toyota. I was wondering why it was marked salvage and if it was done by Carfax or insurance.
