ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
The adaptive cruise control was set on the highway. When an attempt was made to increase speed to pass a vehicle, the engine started chugging, the check engine light came on and the vehicle lost power. After, I was able to pull to the side of the highway, I turned the vehicle off. Restarted the vehicle and check engine light was no longer on and was able to proceed as normal.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On Sep 10 2020, when I drove the CR-V uphill on Crenshaw southbound near Indian Peak, it could not accelerate and get into "limp" mode. No engine light was on. Once I was able to use momentum to pull over, restarted the car, it was driving as normal. I drove it to the nearest Honda dealer and left with them for a week. They could reproduce the issue by driving exactly to the same spot. They investigated and replaced the whole tank of fuel, suspecting water in the gas tank. On Sep 19 2021, my husband was driving on Lancaster 14 north bound (uphill). The CR-V go into "limp" mode and could not accelerate. Engine light turned on soon after. He was able to cruise to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. Once it was restarted, the engine light turned off, the car could go again, and he drove and left it to the nearest dealer, they could not find any issue. On Nov 7 2021, as I am driving on 73 toll road north bound (uphill) near Catalina View Toll Booth, CR-V traveling around 65 MPH started to get into "limp" mode and I could not accelerate it pressing the gas pedal, then the engine light turned on. I was able to cruise by momentum and pull to the shoulder. I stopped and restarted the car, and it was able to travel again. All through my trip afterward (405 NB), the car felt "choked" and "stuttered" when I tried to accelerate.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving on a city street with no vehicles in front of me or behind me. There was a patch of road that had a metal plate from construction (there was no active construction). Out of the blue and for no reason, the Automatic Brake light flashed and my CRV slammed on the brakes. If there had been a car behind me it would have hit me... if I had been on the highway and went over a plate it could have been tragic. Everything on my front passenger seat ended up on the floor. The CRV (which I own) is my daughter's car. I called Honda as soon as I got to my office to see if there was a recall and there was none. I am presently looking into how t turn this feature off.

The 2012 CRV has one driver's side door key lock for the entire vehicle located on the drivers door. The 3 original keys for the CRV all fit in the key hole and turn easily, but none of the keys opened the door. The keys work to start the emission but not the doors, The fobs all work on all the doors, as well. This issue was identified when the battery died, the key fobs were rendered useless and none of the original keys worked to open the vehicle. This was very dangerous to have no way to enter our car if we were stranded due to a battery malfunction or other electrical issue. The car was brought to the Honda Dealership and evaluated and it was found that the door/key actuator is not working. There are many complaints identical to mine found on the internet. A class action lawsuit was filed against Honda Corp for this exact issue and the plantiffs won. I have missed this deadline for this class action lawsuit. Service Bulletins Service ID: 14-083, 14-084 These service bulletins allowed Honda CR-V owners to get their door actuators repaired free of charge until November 2015. The bulletins applied to the driver’s side and passenger door lock actuators, but stated they were only to be repaired if they were faulty, instead of a blanket replacement for all actuators. This is still an issue that is dangerous and needs to be fixed, especially as we do not know when a battery may die and not being able to get into your CRV. Honda Corp was also notified of this issue and to date nothing is being done.

Driver side 's air vent heat vent is not working properly. During winter, the windshield is not fully warm and hard to do defrost. According to Honda, they recognized the issue of heator core and had issued a service bulletin about the issues of heater core problem to remove clogging. It should be recalled to fix the issue rather than making the owner replacing the expensive part. Thank you.

When the weather gets under 50F, the trunk will not unlock and will not open. It seems as if the actuator freezes. When the temperature is above 50F you can hear it click and unlock. This was an issue with 2011-2015 CRV and it is still an issue with 2016.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I had been running errands, driving, made 2 stops. When I cranked the car at the 3rd stop, the Dashboard warning system lights all come on and won’t go off. This includes the TPMS System, Brake Failure warning light, Emergency Brake Light, Lane Assist, VSA warning, etc. The car was drivable, so I took it to the dealer in December 2020. They said battery was low and I bought a new one. October, 2021, it happened again. The battery was under warranty, so they changed it out for a new one. Today, 2 weeks later, November 2021, it happened again. The dealer is keeping it for diagnostics. No resolution yet. The vehicle has less than 25k miles, but of course not under warranty because it was purchased more than 3 years ago.

The VTC actuator needed to be replaced at 85,522. It cost me 1169.17 to replace it. In doing my research, SEVERAL people have had issues with this part yet Honda has not had it recalled. You can find the evidence on You tube. The warranty is 70,000 for a 1200.00 dollar fix? Shame on Honda for selling an inferior product, leaving their customers with a hefty repair bill. I want to be reimbursed for my repair and the VTC actuator to be recalled.
