FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving down the street when the brake warning light flashed and the car suddenly slammed on the brakes. There was nothing in front of the car that would have caused the brake warning to flash or the car to brake. Luckily there were no other cars around, however, if I was traveling faster or on a busy street it could have been a very different outcome.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
As I was driving home from work, I tried to accelerate to merge onto the highway and my car would not go over 30-40 mph. It felt like it was going to stall. This could have caused a major accident. I was able to make it home. I took the 2018 honda crv to the dealer that night and was told that Turbocharger was broke. During this whole ordeal, the engine light did not come on once, nor leading up to this event. The dealer ran computer diagnostics and nothing came up. They had to take the car apart to find out what was wrong. Because the turbocharger had been broken, this also caused damage to the fuel injectors and they needed replaced. 25 days later, again on my way home from work, every single light and warning message is flashing on my dash, as if there is a battery problem. THERE WAS NO WARNING APPEAR PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. Took it back to the dealer and was told that there is blown head gasket, coolant leaking into the cylinder, no compression in cylinder. Luckily, nothing happened while I was driving. THIS NOW REQUIRES MY WHOLE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. Seems due to driving with the malfunctioning Turbo, the original problem, WHICH I HAD NO IDEA OR WARNING LIGHT, damaged my car further. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE HONDA CRV 2018 SAFETY ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS AND IN MY OPINION MALFUNCTIONED.

The a/c on the passenger side is cold. The a/c on the driver side is blowing hot air. This started about a week ago. In searching the internet, it seems that this is a fairly common issue with the 2014 CR-V and other years of the CRV. Yet there is no recall by Honda. I am planning to take the car to the dealer and get this fixed, but since it is a common problem I am hoping that it will become a recall and that I will be able to get a refund as I am certain this is going to cost quite a bit.

The passenger door won't open & the trunk won't open, like it's jammed. There is no key entry for the passenger or trunk. I feel this has the potential to be very dangerous.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
April 23, 2022 my son was driving my vehicle in the downtown city. He found a place to parallel park and placed the gear shifter in reverse when he was done he went to place the gear shifter in park, but there was no button on the gear shifter to press in and after I freaked out, my son found the plastic piece on the floor. After many tries, he was finally able to put the knob on the gear shifter to place the vehicle in park. My question, why is that particular part made in plastic? The part that actually attaches to the gear shifter should be out of steel and the button part that is actually touched daily can be made out of plastic. Just a suggestion.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
In a construction single lane road my car braked extremely hard. My speed was less than 10 mph. The zone had pylons, two flagmen who were stationary and a raised metal plate over a trench. It happened twice, once in each direction. I immediately called Lawley Honda and brought it in after work. Their only guess is that I accidentally turned on the cruise/driver assist button on the lower right side of my steering wheel. They also said it could have happened during my oil change 4 days ago. I have never in the years I’ve owned this car accidentally turned on this control. They did not take my vehicle into the service bay. They said if there is no error code indicator illuminated then they can’t troubleshoot the vehicle.

I just bought (last month) a new, 2022 Honda CR-V-EX-L. I have always been a Honda girl, and decided it was time for a new car and bought another Honda…..my 3rd CR-V (I also had a pilot). Anyways, I just bought this car last month. It is a beautiful car, but I feel it’s dangerous for two reasons. The biggest concern is that the hood was redesigned from previous models that I had, and now the sides of the hood protrudes higher than the rest of the hood, making it quite difficult to see over the hood, particularly going around turns and up hills. Which is a huge safety issue. And you may be thinking, why don’t I just lift the seat……well the seat is as high as it goes (a definite flaw), so that is of no help. Secondly, the audio system is definitely a hazard. The touch screen does not always work, and you may have to push on the screen several times before getting it to work, thus distracting the driver. Additionally, when talking to people on Bluetooth and one party hangs up, the phone does not go back to the radio automatically, and you have to keep touching the touchscreen to get you back to what you were on prior to the call. Definitely another safety issue. That being said, I am mostly worried about the hood issue. I do not feel safe continuing to drive my brand new Honda, which is really sad, since I buy Honda's because of their safety ratings. If this is an issue for me, I am sure this an issue for others, and likely has already contributed to accidents. Thank-you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving around 18MPH, I was approaching a small bridge when the brake message appeared simultaneously to the automatic braking of the car. Luckily, I was going slowly, no one in front of or behind me. It was extremely abrupt and frightening. I cannot imagine what might have happened if I had been going faster.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving into a parking lot behind my store, as I approached my parking space going roughly around 5-7mph the brakes engaged by itself for a brief second (as if i had slammed on the brake pedal and let go) leading me to lose control and hit the wall/back door of my store. All warning lights are now on, damaged the front bumper and I'm guessing the radar sensor in the front. Called my insurance to try to file a claim, if not covered will try to contact the dealership.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Single internal 4" long windshield crack developed starting at the Honda Sensing safety suite sensor block built into the top of the windshield. This crack is growing in length on the passenger side of the windshield and is currently about 9" long. There were no windshield overheating or freezing issues (the crack originally appeared on 04/14/2022), no car incidents, or road hazards (like something hitting the windshield). My car is still under warranty but local Honda dealer refused to even take a look at the windshield condition stating that Honda's warranty does not cover windshield.
