FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
All warning dash lights came on. Took for service they say it is the fuel injector is bad and gas running too rich. There is a recall for fuel injector on 2018 Honda CRV but not this one?

SUSPENSION
I was on the highway driving straight and steady. The driver side rear wheel/ lower control arm went to a 30 degree angle and pulled the axle from the rear differential. The wheel locked up and the vehicle was very difficult to control. I skidded to the shoulder leaving a 400 foot skid mark. Thankfully there was no one near me as traffic was very light. If road or traffic conditions were any worse there would almost certainly been a serious accident. I have extensive mechanical experience and have never seen a 11 year old vehicle fail from corrosion in this manor. There is a recall in Canada for this exact issue and Honda is/has helped repair/replace many there vehicles with this issue. It has been inspected by NYS inspectors annually and never raised any flags. I was never notified by honda to check to check for this issue and the dealership it was bought from is refusing to help. The 2011 Crv appears relatively rust free other than the area that failed and the other side almost as bad. This is a serious safety issue and Honda needs to do something to prevent future injuries and deaths. This failure happened with no warning at all. Thank you.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Auto Braking System - Yesterday at night while driving at 45mph the Auto Braking System activated by itself inspite of no obstacles anywhere near me and the vehicle came to a complete standstill in the middle of the highway. I was lucky there was no vehicle behind me else I was for sure going to be rear ended. Lane Keeping Assistance System - The Lane keeping assistance activates itself even though it has been turned off. The vehicle forces me to stay in lane many times when there is a change in traffic pattern and also when you cross over a line just to stay safe from a vehicle that is crossing over a line on one of your sides. This is dangerous.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving on a residential street at approximately 25 Mph with no traffic, my 2018 Honda CRV-EX activated a Stage 3 Collision Mitigation Braking System event. The car came to a sudden, complete stop throwing loose items out of the seats. Honda says if the CMBS system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it will continue the visual and audible alerts, and apply strong braking to help mitigate the forces of the collision. This sudden stop could have caused an accident if another car had been following closely behind.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
As my wife and I were driving downtown at about 20 mph on a regular city street with no cars in front of us, the automatic breaking system suddenly beeped and slammed on the breaks, giving us whiplash. There was clearly some kind of failure in the collision mitigation breaking system. Previously, the orange "BREAK" light sometimes came on the dashboard if you got too close to the car in front but it was always accurate--there always was a car in front of us. But this time it was really startling because there was nothing in front of us and it almost caused an accident because the car behind us obviously wasn't expecting us to stop suddenly. We have a 2021 Honda CRV hybrid and have had no other problems with it. We haven't had any maintenance on it in besides a bit of standard care (oil change, tire rotation) so I assume whatever problem it has has been there since the purchase (we are the car's original owner). Overall it was quite worrying.

TIRES:BEAD, TIRES:SIDEWALL
In September of 2020 I purchased a brand new 2020 Honda CR-V Touring with 235/55R19 CrossContact LX Sport M+S tires. On April 3, 2022 I was on a trip away (several hundred miles) from home when my 17 year old daughter (who drives the CR-V) contacted me about one tire that was low on air. She sent me a photo. I informed her to put air in the tire to see if it continued to leak and I would fix it when I got home. Taking initiative, she asked me if she could fix it while I was away. I gave her inspection instructions. She carefully inspected the tire and found no outside defects such as screw/nail/puncture foreign material. Since the leak was very slow, she filled the tire with air and safely drove the car to Firestone Tire at 395 Eisenhower Dr, Hanover, PA 17331. Once she got there the tire technician attempted to find the leak. He was unable to find any outside defect or leak and continued by removing the tire from the rim. I then got a phone call from my daughter who had the technician on speakerphone. He described the issue to me as a tire manufacturing defect that he has never seen before. My daughter then texted me photos of the issue. The defect is easily seen on the inside molded lines in the sidewall. It is where the bead rolls into the sidewall. In the molded lines there are areas where the lines are interrupted/missing and with what appears to be several small holes in the rubber. Firestone could not advise how to proceed. The tire was remounted. The technician put a little extra tire sealant on the bead. She then drove the vehicle home. I have since also read the these tires, of other sizes, have had a vulcanizing problem. My tire clearly has this issue and Continental needs to update their recall list to include these as well.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
I was driving on a divided 4 lane road that offers a wide right side shoulder at around 43 MPH. I was traveling in the right lane. The lane markings are fresh and visible. It was late afternoon and sun was shining. The road surface was dry. There were no vehicles immediately in front of or along the side of mine. I had not activated the lane keeping assist or automatic cruise control features. Only the hazard mitigation/automatic braking and road departure mitigation features were operational. The car suddenly attempted to swerve left, away from the center of the lane being utilized. The automatic braking system also activated. I was able to simply "drive through" the malfunction without incident. This was the first instance I have noted of this kind. Due to the fact that it was late afternoon, there were shadows from overhead power line being cast onto the lane being driven. I have owned previous cars that sometimes attempted to track said shadow when the lane keeping assist is activated. That was not the scenario yesterday as LKAS was not selected. It was as though the sensors detected a pending pedestrian strike or other collision.
