UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The gear shift button popped off while the car was in drive. The plastic broke, making it impossible to reattach. In order to switch the gear, I had to reach into the gear shift with my finger to manually press down where the button was. It would have been impossible to quickly shift my gear if I had needed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently started braking. The contact stated that the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that she started to pull over however, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to an unknown Honda dealer in Las Vegas who was unable to diagnose a failure. The contact stated that the failure recurred 6 months later. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer. The contact stated that the failure continued and the vehicle was taken to Sierra Honda of Monrovia (721 E Central Ave, Monrovia, CA 91016, (626) 739-2200), who advised the contact to turn off the Collision Mitigation feature each time the vehicle was restarted. The contact stated that with the feature disabled, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the experience was frightening because she felt that she would be rear-ended driving on the freeway at high speeds. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised her to take the vehicle to a dealer to be diagnosed for the mechanic to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was taken to the dealer Norm Reeves Honda Superstore West Covina (1840 E Garvey Ave S, West Covina, CA 91791) who test drove the vehicle, however, was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that a case was opened with the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 7,000.

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY
While performing maintenance on the car, I found that the left (drivers) rear mounting bracket which is a part of the frame/body, and hold the right rear trailing arm - holding the rear axle was severely rusted and cracking apart from corrosion. The right (passenger) bracket showed no rust damage. This problem has been reported by others, and Canada has found the same issues and issued a recall for this car/vin group. Although this car is 15 years old, this thick 3/8" heavy metal bracket should not have disintegrated like this even with the salt used on the highways, and is shown with absolutely no issue with the right (passenger side)bracket. Upon taking it to the dealer, there was nothing they could do, nor could they get the "fix" being used in Canada or any other information as to how they are correcting this problem. Suggestion is to buy a new car or take it to a body shop and see if they could fabricate a repair. Honda dealer did not seem to be too concerned about this rust, so I will have to go elsewhere to have it evaluated. From what I have found here on the internet, this is a serious problem, and when it breaks as it has for others, you loose control of the car because the axle is now only attached to one side of the car. If there is a fix for this, (as they have one in Canada) they should be compelled to provide it. This isn't a who pays for the repair. It's been known for some time now, and they should have already addressed this. But to withhold the safety fix isn't acceptable.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A/C Failure in May, 2021 AND REPEATED in May, 2022: Prior to June 1, 2021, when the CRV was about 33 months old, the Air Conditioner stopped providing cool or cold air when was set as low as 65 degrees. The dealer checked it and found it was leaking (code 06001) and replaced the compressor, coil set, and clutch, then recharged it. It worked fine in 2021, but in the spring of 2022 it stopped cooling again (only about 10,000 miles in 3 1/2 yrs).. Dealer said the A/C is covered under its one year warranty, so it will be returned to the dealer in 2 days. Total mileage now is about 13, 200 miles. This is an engineering disaster and in warm weather can cause accidents. This problem is a long standing issue since early in 2000 and should be REPAIRED permanently,

SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
I was parked at a local pharmacy. I put the vehicle in reverse and the car would not move I had to call a tow truck to take my car to my home. I was advised by a mechanic who read my car electronically that it was the RR Brake Caliper Only the left side is responding the right is totally out and that's why it's locked up. I now have to take my vehicle back to the Honda dealership to get it fixed. I've had to get rides to work and unsure if this is covered under my warranty. If not I'll have to pay with funds that I do not have. The vehicle had been shaking slightly as I made stops that day. If I had been on the road I may have been rear-ended if I had to make a stop. There were no warning information messages prior to this incident occurring.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On three occasions - most recently on May 22, 2022 - the emergency braking system stopped the car completely for no apparent reason. If there had been cars behind me, all 3 times would have cause collisions. Dealer service department would not acknowledge the problem, even though I explained I had read about other complaints. Vehicle has not been inspected for this specific issue. No warnings prior to the random failures

While driving the emergency braking will automatically slam on the brakes when there is nothing there. It alerts of lane departure when still driving within the lane. Fails to alert of vehicle in blind spot. Issues are intermittent, but I fear they may cause me to wreck.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
Oil stick smells heavily of gas, the engine which my car has is known to inject too fuel in the oil. I have had it checked at the honda dealership and was informed, it was normal that there is nothing wrong, however when I check my oil stick it is very apparent that there is gas in the oil compartment. (my dipping stick should not smell like my gas tank) I will be having a second dealership look at the oil tank again.

AIR BAGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I'm trying to report an incident that involved my Honda CRV running into a totally stopped Tesla in the HOV lane on I-75 in Atlanta Georgia on Sunday, May 8, 2022, at around 9 AM. We came around a large curve and had no time to avoid running into the TOTALLY STOPPED Tesla in the HOV lane. I have seen reports of "phantom braking" in Teslas. The driver of the Tesla stated to us that he was using cruise control and when the Tesla sensed a car pulled off into the breakdown lane, it stopped completely and there was nothing he could do. Our car sustained serious damage. Fortunately, we were not injured, but I believe NHTSA should be investigating Tesla for these incidents. If this is not the correct form to report this, please advise. There was no problem associated with my CRV in this incident.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT
My Honda CRV's shift knob button broke off while I was driving. I had a hard time parking the car. After 20 minutes or so of trying, I somehow managed to park the car. After I parked, I noticed there were broken pieces of plastic inside the shift where the knob button was attached. I was scared to drive after this incident. Also, I felt this as a safety concern as I can't imagine my daughter being in this situation as she will be a new driver soon. I am attaching the pictures for your reference. Thank you.
