TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I purchased Cooper Evolution Tour tires (DOT U92Y VN 1820, Size 225/65R17) on August 10, 2020. Since then, I've only put 16,000 miles on them. I've been consistently losing air and recently brought them into my dealer for inspection, and they located a bulge in the sidewall in all four of my tires. (I have pictures of each of the buldges as marked by the dealer.) They told me it was a manufacturer's defect and to contact Cooper Tires. Cooper Tires has a recall out for the same type of tire, only an earlier model, with the same exact defect: Recall No. 19T-024 on Cooper Evolution Tour DOT U9 40 1LT 3019. (Dated Dec. 2019.) When I contacted Cooper customer service, they said no recall for my model exists, and I'd have to get replacements under the warrantee, costing me an additional $350. If these tires have the same defect as the earlier model, they should be recalled immediately. I've been driving around on four bulging sidewalls and risking a crash as indicated by Recall No. 19T-024, all of which they recognized enough to recall their earlier model. Attached is the print out from the dealer with the estimate to replace the tires with my road hazard warrantee through them, and pictures of where they marked the sidewall bulges on each tire. (Rear passenger, front passenger, driver passenger, driver rear.)

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
This vehicle equipped with a 1.5 L Turbo has fuel diluting the oil and causing stalling on occasion and acrid smells inside the vehicle. I changed my oil at 70% reaming life, but only 3,000 miles driven because the oil dip stick was 1/2 inch above above the full mark. The performance has downgraded and diluted oil can possibly cause a catastrophic engine failure while in operation. This has been going on since I have purchased the vehicle, but not to this extent. Honda has not recalled the vehicle, claiming it is not safety related, yet apprx 350,000 models were recalled in China for basically the same problem. I now will have oil samples tested from this time on to further verify my claim

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while pulling into a parking space and depressing on the brake pedal, she heard an abnormal noise and the vehicle began to vibrate. The contact stated an unknown green brake hold warning light was illuminated and then turned off a second later. The contact stated she was able to park the vehicle. The contact stated that a week later while starting the vehicle, she experienced the same failure. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where she was informed that the engine was overfilled by one quart of oil. The contact was informed that the extra oil needed to be drained. The repairs were completed. The contact stated on 2/9/2022, she started to smell fuel fumes inside the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer and was informed there was no leak and no failure found with the vehicle. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Multiple system issues with this car, I was told by Honda Sevice manager, “ most people don’t even know what all the features do and don’t know they aren’t workin” WOW!! Most recently (2022)there is a spontaneous window crack, very fine line. Cannot feel crack at all on outside or inside of glass. Not from impact. Crack goes up to black area of windshield about 3.5” long. You can google and see there was a class action lawsuit filed do to Framing defect in CRV that causes windshield to spontaneously crack. (It was settled/ended with the initial plant if settling, without Honda responsibility , so no recall or notice to the rest of us driving this dangerous car) There are several reports of the crack leading to whole windshield shattering. I’m being told to “wait for Honda corporate to decide if they will cover under warranty” Even though the warranty administrator at Lisle Honda looked at it and said it was not from an object. He had to take photos, after marking with pen/ marker to send to corporate for decision. Also, ADAS system malfunctioning, auto emergency braking for no reason, no trafic around, blind spot warning only works sometime, lane departure rarely works, ALL system display as “not functioning” the minute there is even slight fog, rain or snow. Even AWD system no functioning warning. And passenger airbag randomly shows as “airbag off” when an adult is sitting in passenger seat, requiring us to pull over, get out of car, turn car off, lock it, unlock it and get back in to restart (sometimes several times before off light goes away). I have reported all of these problems over the past several years to Honda Lisle to no avail. I’m waiting to see if warranty will cover windshield for defect.

STEERING
the steering wheel sticks or has some resistance when returning to straight position from a right turn position. It has been doing this for several months. I have to give it a pull to center which is enough to swerve into the left lane of traffic. This happens at any speed but at high speed this is dangerous! I went to the dealer Coggin Honda in Ft Pierce, FL to have the service dept. confirm this symptom. A service writer told me that the Rack and Pinion Steering unit is malfunctioning and should be replaced. This car has 11,000 miles on it and the steering unit CAN'T be worn out so it must be defective and will be very unsafe as it seems that it is getting worse.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The other day my car logged 35k miles. About 200 miles later multiple waning lights came up on my instrument panel. Adaptive Cruise Control, Road Departure and Collision Mitigation systems are not working. After looking for help on different forums I found that at around 35K miles this is happening to many people. The "radar" part of the system is most likely the part that needs replacing and just the part is over $400! This safety feature is not only required for modern vehicles, but it is used in vehicle safety ratings and marketing to attract buyers to specific vehicles. This is no small matter in my opinion. What good is a feature that stops working after the warranty runs out.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When attempting to lock the doors with either the key fob or from inside the vehicle, the back door locks stay open. The front passenger door also makes a loud buzzing noise but stays locked. This is an issue when the auto lock function kicks in after every stop sign or red traffic light. I don’t want to leave the car in public spaces for fear of someone entering my vehicle unbeknownst to me. The original vehicle owner had no recollection of any correspondence, by mail or otherwise, related to the 2007-2011 Honda C-RV recalls for this issue.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Failure of all Door Locks. I purchased my 2008 Honda CRV new in 2008. While driving all door locks move up and down or open and close and cannot be locked or open with the remote device. After checking on line, I see there have been recalls of similar problems with this model. I called First Honda in Simi Valley, CA and was told there was a recall but not for my 2008 Honda. This is for sure a safety problem which amazes me when companies that build these cars have so many problems. I understand that if I need to repair the five locks it will cost me over a $1000. I am a senior citizen with limited income and cannot afford a new car so I am between a rock and a hard place. If there is a recall out there, please let me know so I can get this problem fixed. Thank you

SERVICE BRAKES
While driving 55 on a busy highway my car braked on its own. (Like slamming on brakes!!) The brake warning light flashed on the dash. THANK GOD the car behind me was paying attention and swerved into the other lane. Otherwise I would have been rear ended! This is dangerous and unacceptable! This obviously can happen at anytime and could result in an accident with potential injury.

ENGINE
Engine oil diluted. 2/8/2022 Engine oil was Diluted by 55mm. This happened within 400 miles of the last oil change. That's a lot of gasoline in the oil and oil viscosity is significantly decreased. All updates/recalls have been completed on the vehicle. The updates that are specific to this issue have been completed. Talking to Honda dealership, this is extremely unnormal and results in premature engine wear.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Good day, I bought my Honda CRV last summer. In October, I was driving on an on-ramp to the expressway and the hood flew open. I filed an insurance claim with Farmer's for the repairs. It was repaired to the original specs. I saw where other Honda models have been recalled for this issue. There was no reason for the hood to fly open, I had no recent needs to open the hood at the time. I thought it prudent to bring this to your attention in case the Honda CRV has the same type of hood as the other models recalled. I was fortunate the incident in October had no injuries and did not compromise safety for other travelers on the road. However, there may still be risk for another occurrence if it is the same problem as the other models. I appreciate any information or guidance that will help ensure my Honda is safe to drive. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
I have a 2018 Honda CR-V purchased 12/4/2017. During the fall/winter of 2018, the warning lights and bells came on for apparently no reason and the vehicle would barely move down the road. Turning off the vehicle and restarting it fixed the issue with the vehicle moving however the lights remained on. I took the vehicle in to be checked by the dealer at least twice, but they were unable to find any problem. At this time the only possible solution that I found from searching the problem on google was a possible loose battery connection or low voltage in batter. They reset the computer and it has continued to occur multiple times since then. Once again on Friday, February 4, 2022, I took the vehicle in for a service with the warning lights all on again. They fixed some extended warranty issues which they thought fixed the problem. However, within less than 5 minutes after starting the vehicle all the lights were on again. At this time, I again did a google search for this issue and now I am finding that 4 years later with hundreds of people continuing to have the same problem repeatedly the fix that seems to be the actual solution is to replace the fuel injectors. Yet, Honda is refusing to recognize this as their problem and forcing their customers to foot the bill for this repair that has obviously been an issue since the vehicle was purchased. When all the warning lights are on none of the vehicle safety features work and all the flashing lights and dinging bells are a major driver distraction. Nevermind when start your car and attempt to pull onto the road and the vehicle will not run over 5 miles an hour with the gas pedal to the floor. I had to pull over on the side of the road which was not wide enough for me to get out of the road and turn off my ignition and restart my car. Thankfully it would accelerate at a normal speed afterwards and I was able to get home safely.

POWER TRAIN
This vehicle shakes pretty badly at idle. We took it to Honda for repairs, there is no recall for this but they did have a service bulletin for the issue. They replaced the headrest and two mounts, one was for the transmission and the other I think was for the condenser unit and recalibrated the idle. The car did improve although the shaking was still there at idle. This was done in October and in the last two weeks the problem has gotten worse then when we first took it to Honda. The car shakes very badly and doesn't feel safe for my kids. I have resorted to putting the vehicle in Neutral at stop lights which helps.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
10 warning messages appear on the dashboard simultaneously. This has happened about 10 times now and has been viewed by an independent repair shop. The failures involve the breaking system, TPMS, power steering, vehicle stability assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation and road departure. All of the 10 failures occurred when the temperature was below 40 degrees. They all were cleared after warming up in my garage overnight. When the warning messages appear, none of the systems are operational causing major safety concerns. I have a log of each occurrence and a video of the dashboard when the vehicle is started with the failures. Also, I am writing to alert you of this because there are many others who have experienced the same problems as I found after doing some on-line research. Please feel free to contact me about any other details.

I have experienced the effects of a parasitic drain on the vehicle's battery which caused a premature failure. It's a known issue as the vehicle stability assist unit runs when the vehicle is off, which caused the premature failure. The dealer just shrugs and HONDA is in denial. https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/2018-crv-battery-problem.195207/

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
At the beginning of the current year, 2002, the date displayed on the navigation system reverted to 2002 and the time changed to an incorrect time. No DIY user solutions have worked to fix these software issues. Honda has reported these issues in a number of vehicle models and claim they will "self-correct" eight months (August, 2022) from now.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Vehicle was not running, and electrical components went haywire. Panic horn wouldn’t stop sounding, dashboard came on, all warning lights on. Brought vehicle to dealership and upon diagnosis, the BCM is faulty (body control module). In researching this, I found Honda had over 800,000 vehicle recalls for this particular issue, but my vehicle model was not part of this recall. I believe that it should. Case #12807731 was opened by me with Honda customer service for the issue. Currently, the part is backordered and not available until mid March. They informed me that I have to disconnect the battery when not in use and reconnect when I need to drive somewhere. My vehicle is just under 5 years old.
