UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I started my car and shifted into reverse. The silver part of the gear shift popped of and fell into the foot well. I was able to pick it up and hold it in place and shift the car but it is clearly not safe.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In two instances, while driving in the city street (cloudy day, daytime) around 30 miles per hour, the car suddenly went into emergency breaking with no obvious reason. The breaking light flashing in the dashboard. No car in front at all. The car almost went to total stop. The system went back to normal less than a sec later. Everything was normal before it happened. I was lucky because no car was behind me when this happened. Did not take to dealer.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
All warning lights in addition to items checked above keep flashing and associated systems are not working placing me and my passengers in grave danger having become reliant on these systems to keeping safe. Also, the car will not shut downs unless I press the power button twice on hold it down for the car to shut off. Basically every system controlled buy the computer is not working suddenly. Checked the internet and many car owners are facing the same issues. Taking the car to the dealership tomorrow for diagnostics since I gave extended warranty. This is not the first time this has happened and previously it was blamed on a 2 years old battery.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving on the highway at approximately 50MPH my 2019 Honda CR-V suddenly braked hard on its own, with no vehicle in front of me. Luckily there was no one behind me either or it would have likely caused me to be rear ended. It was a frightening experience, also causing neck pain for a few days afterwards. I reported the issue to Honda.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L slammed on brakes for no apparent reason while I was driving down the local city road with all 3 lanes clear ahead. No vehicle or object was in sight ahead for as far as I could see. The AEB (Automatic Emergency Brake) system detected a false positive and applied brake when it should not have as the road ahead was clear. Fortunately there was no vehicle behind me, otherwise they would have likely hit me from behind. The AEB system slammed the brake for a good fraction of a second without any application of force from my end. The gauge cluster repeatedly flashed BRAKE message before applying brake itself for no apparent reason.

ENGINE
Engine makes loud grinding noise at startup. Have been told it is likely the VTC Acctuator and/or an issue with the timing chain tensioner. The problem has gotten worse over time. Approximate date incident occurred is an estimate. I understand this is an issue with many of these vehicles and that there may even be a class action lawsuit filed. I am curious why this hasn't been deemed a recall item?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving at 35 mph on a city road. All of a sudden, I heard several beeps and saw a brake signal on the car incident panel come up. My CRV braked automatically and slowed to 25 mph. There was no car behind me, thank goodness. The brakes released and then the CRV drove as normal. There was no indication before the braking system engaged that this incidence would occur except for the beeps. There was no reason for my CRV to engage the emergency braking system. There was not a car in front of me or any other obstruction that would cause the automatic braking system to engage. It was a scary experience.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH and making a right turn, there was a squealing rattling sound coming from the engine compartment and the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The message check oil pressure was displayed. Upon inspection, the contact noticed an odor of fuel was present in the engine oil. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine and turbocharger were faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer later determined that only the high-pressure fuel pump and lifter pump were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 61,000.

Actuator that controls locks has gone out twice in 3 years. It is approximately $500 to replace. Vehicle randomly locks itself over and over when powered on or off. Sometimes power locks will not unlock any doors including the hatch.

ENGINE
When starting the car (cold), the motor would start and then continue trying and made a grinding noise for about 2 seconds. Once the car was hot and off for less than 5 min, it would start normally. After 5 min off, it would make the noise again. This would happen by either using manually the key, or the remote starter. Went to the dealer and they said they needed to replace the VTC Actuator and ended up spending little over $1K to repair it. Looking online and in this site, I've found multiple complaints for this issue starting in 2015 for this model. There are also VTC Actuator known issues for Honda models between 2008 and 2012, so it is not something new for them. This should require a recall as it is a manufacturer's issue involving the engine, which could potentially escalate to something more serious and dangerous. Thanks,

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Intermittantly I receive a message on my car stating there is a problem with the CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) It comes and goes. I am afraid that it will brake when it shouldn't and cause an accident. I took it to the dealership last week on 06/02/2022 and they said there is a problem with the radar/camera system and ordered replacement parts. There are flashing it lights that come on the instrument panel and flash so fast you cannot read them and then a message popped up on my radio screen saying there is an issue with CMBS. I have a video and pictures showing this. Dealership said it is safe to drive until parts are recieved.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Driving on road and all of a sudden the car seemed like it was braking. We have don't automatic breaking. The dash lights came on. Engine, steering wheel !, traction control, brake system, and blinking brake light. The last few days it was taking more cranks, this started happening after a new fuel pump was installed last month. This was because of a fuel pump recall.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Automatic Emergency Braking system engaging without warning when no obstacle is in front of car. Very sudden, aggressive automatic braking puts my safety and that of other vehicles/drivers at risk of collision (rear-ending me). This has happened three times in the past week. I called dealer and they professed to have no knowledge of the problem. I am hesitant to bring the vehicle in for a “fishing expedition” if a repair shop doesn’t know what the problem is and definitely how to fix it.
