VTC actuator is faulty and HONDA will not replace and now I'm being told that I need a new TIMING CHAIN also from the VTC actuator not functioning properly. A TIMING CHAIN that should last the life of the engine has FAILED at 90K miles. Why don't you make HONDA issue a recall instead of sticking the owners with large expensive repair bills when HONDA has issued a service bulletin that the actuator is flawed. This is out of their service bulletin 16-012..... "The variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator is defective. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the VTC actuator. "

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The keyless car was accidently turned off while not in not in park The car started to roll. Yes the car is available for inspection. But based on complaints I have seen online this is how the car was designed. Pedestrian or driver could be rolled over and injured or killed, No it has not been confirmed but after I got home I was easily able to reproduce the rolling with the car turned off while not in park. No. At this point the car nor person has needed police or insurance. The car does offer beeps for warning but the car beeps so much I thought it was the car going by. It is an easy mistake we all know because we have driven cars with keys and can't remove the keys without being in park. I was able to exit the car with my keys. Pedestrians do not watch for rolling cars. Needs to be fixed in this model of car.

POWER TRAIN
I put my car in reverse and it stalled. It began rolling backwards. The battery light came on. I live near two churches and people were leaving church. My vehicle rolled backward and nearly hit the car behind me. I'm so grateful that none of the people leaving church were hit- the area is so busy and everyone has to walk to their cars parallel parked on the side of the road. I started rolling backwards rapidly and neither they nor I would have had any warning that was about to happen. That's just a bit of luck. I was surprised to find this is a well known issue described in Honda Service Bulletin 18-072 and reported frequently to the NHTSA. It's just chance I didn't hit a car or person since the stall occurred on an incline and in a busy area. I'm just so shocked the car hasn't been recalled to fix this dangerous problem.

ENGINE
I was pulling into my garage. As i was decelerating, my vehicle lunged forward, making a loud, revving engine noise. My foot was on the brake, but this didn't prevent my CRV from impacting the back wall of the garage with enough force to crack the interior sheetrock and floor molding and pushing the king size bed approximately two feet away from the wall. Car also suffered considerable damage under the hood, and is not driveable. The airbag did not engage.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I while driving my 2017 Honda CRV on a country road with no one in front of me or behind. It was a clear day. There were no obstacles or shadows on the road. The road was straight. On its own, the car decided to apply the automatic emergency braking, bring my car to a stop. This was very scary. I was lucky no car was behind me. I took it into the Honda dealership, and they could not identify any problems or provide any solutions.

*Draining new battery *Only 22,000 miles on this vehicle and have replaced Alternator, Fuses, Starter, 3 Batteries in 5 years of having this vehicle. Now its parked again cause electrical is making battery dead. *Manufacturer does not know what it can be. *No check engine code pops up. Please check for recall on my 2015 Honda CR-V. I have read there is a Lawsuit on this issue. Why isn't there a recall so my dealership can fix or replace. Wasting lots of money on this issue they can not find.

AIR BAGS
My 2017 Honda CR-V had a noise coming from the steering wheel. My local Honda dealer Wesley Chapel Honda diagnosed the problem and found out that the defective part is the "cable reel" in the steering wheel of the car. This defective cable reel is related to the air bag and could pose serious safety issues. Honda has issued a Recall for the same part "cable reel" for 2019 CR-V all trims (Service Bulletin 19-062). In my case, the problem is caused by the same defective part "cable reel"and should be recalled by Honda and fixed for me as soon as possible. Honda North America should extend their recall to cover more CR-Vs using the same defective part.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
As we headed down the hill approaching dark metal plates in the road covering a hole, the car braked violently. We were nearly hit from behind because of the Quick stop. My Apple Watch alerted me that I had fallen and asked to call 911. This is the second incidence of this kind since owning this car. The other incident was a year or so ago. Our AEB should not be causing us to nearly have an accident from a rear end collision. We are concerned.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
On 9/2/2021 as I was turning left and pulling into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning and without me touching the accelerator. I was able to stop the vehicle with the brake pedal and didn't hit anything. Thankfully, there was no car on my left side because the acceleration drove the car into the adjacent parking space before I could stop it. If a car had been parked there, I would have hit it. There were - and are - no warning lights. My husband called the Honda dealer were we bought the car asking for an urgent appointment to have the car inspected, but they did not call him back as he asked. The problem has not been reproduced or inspected yet. It is available for inspection should you wish to do so.

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
My 2019 Honda CR-V just had it's rear glass exploded all of a sudden. It was a 85F degree day and condition seemed normal and nothing out of the ordinary. The rear window left and right sides had a huge fault crack all along the edges. The middle of the windshield popped a hole and then upon lifting the trunk because I was unaware of the glass, the hole increased in size and chunks of glass just rained everywhere. Honda claims an object struck the glass, but that would mean the main damage would concentrate around that area. Judging from the damage to the left and right edges, it would indicate the glass internally failed all together.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Nothing has happened yet. I want it on record that the implementation of this feature is dangerous. On P.497 of the 2021 CR-V Hybrid's Owner's Manual is the following warning: "Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with Low Speed FOllow system is operating can result in the vehicle moving withoug operator control. A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a crash, resulting in serious injury or death. Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with Low Speed Follow." The way this feature is implemented, the following scenario is possible: I'm driving in heavy traffic that stops for a long time. I absent-mindedly forget that the CR-V is still in ACC mode and get out of the car to see if I can see what is causing the delay. While away from the car, traffic starts to move, and before I can get back in it, the CR-V drives away. Were there a child in the car or an adult who didn't drive, there could easily be multiple deaths caused by a driverless vehicle speeding up to the current ACC setting (which could be a freeway-appropriate speed). Just off-hand I can think of multiple ways to prevent such a scenario, each of which takes advantage of existing systems: The ACC could--and should--automatically disengage and the transmission go into Park 1) when a door is opened; 2) when the driver's weight leaves the seat; 3) when the driver's seatbelt is unfastened. It should not be possible for a vehicle to drive away without a driver, and this possibility could--and should--be easily prevented.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I was driving home and my car went into limp mode in the middle of the freeway. Not sure why my car downshifted and wouldn’t accelerate over 20mph or over 2500rpm. I thought my transmission went out, I was lucky to find a pull off, I shut my car off and then back on to see if I could get to an off ramp and the problem persisted. I had my vehicle towed to my mechanic, the problem was diagnosed and my mechanic said specifically that he has only seen this problem with cars that had faulty fuel pumps that were recalled, my year was not part of the recall, but my make and model was, but only different years. He advised me to report it because of how specific the problem was to the recall of newer models.

My 2017 Honda CRV was just little over 25k millage and A/C stop working, only blow hot air. It was very dangerous to drive during heavy rain condition in summer. It is a very serious safety matter and it should be a recall for a fixing. I don't understand why Honda ignored so many complaints and not fixing it. It is completely ruin its reputation all over the years they have developed in USA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Rear door lock is malfunctioning. Sometimes it will lock when lock button is depressed. Other times it won't. Sometimes it will lock, but then unlock itself shortly after. This is a safety issue, since we are located in a high-crime area, Berkeley, CA, where car thefts, carjackings and car break-ins are common. There were no warning signs, lamps or other symptoms prior to this problem. Just started happening in the past few months. Started as an occasional problem, but has become persistent.
