STEERING
AFTER RUNNING THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 10-15 MILES FROM START THE STEERING STICKS AND JERKY WHILE MAKING A CURVE AND WON'T MOVE BACK OUT OF THIS CATCH WITHOUT APPLYING AN EXTRA FORCE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CUT THE LANE UNINTENTIONALLY AND IS DANGEROUS. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON 3/16/21 AND THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM AS THEY WON'T DRIVE MORE THAN 5MILES. I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 10-15 MILES.

[XXX] . I TOOK MY 2003 HONDA INTO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2021 (UNSURE WHEN EXACTLY) FOR THEM TO WORK ON ANOTHER RECALL. I HAD RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA NATIONAL CORP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I HAD ALREADY HAD THIS DONE. BUT NOW I LOOKED UP MY VIN ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND IT SAYS THERE IS ONE "UNREPAIRED RECALL" FROM JUNE 27, 2019. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN CAR MOUNTED SCREEN FOR RADIO ETC RANDOMLY CHANGES WHILE DRIVING. FROM BRIGHTNESS OFF AND ON AND DARKER TO VOLUME CHANGING ON ITS OWN. ONLY WAY TO STOP IT (SOMETIMES) IS TO TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON THE VEHICLE. BLIND SPOT SENSORS ALSO GO OUT RANDOMLY SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF WEATHER OTHER TIMES (RARELY, BUT STILL HAPPENED) RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEATING/ COOLING SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION VERY WELL IN COLD TEMPERATURES. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THE CABIN TO HEAT UP IN THE WINTER, AND ON SHORT TRIPS IT DOES NOT HEAT UP SUFFICIENTLY, EVEN WHEN I LET THE CAR "WARM UP" IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE I DRIVE AWAY. WHILE THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A MINOR INCONVENIENCE, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE WINDOWS KEEP FOGGING UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE REAR WINDOWS ARE HARD TO KEEP DEFROSTED AND VISIBILITY IS VERY LIMITED WHEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE AND HAVING TO CHECK MY BLIND SPOT. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO LOWER MY BACK WINDOWS IN ORDER TO CHECK MY BLIND SPOT, BUT THAT IS ALSO LIMITED BECAUSE THE WINDOWS DO NOT GO DOWN ALL THE WAY. I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THIS WHEN THEY FOG UP BECAUSE I ALMOST SIDE SWIPED ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY DUE BEING UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS PROPERLY. FROM ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND ONE WOULD THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TOUCHSCREEN ON THE MAIN INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY FAILED TO WORK IMMEDIATELY ON STARTUP OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION THE MECHANICAL VOLUME/POWER BUTTON ON THE DISPLAY WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. RADIO CONTROL (SOURCE/STATION/VOLUME) WAS AVAILABLE THRU STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS BUT NO OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE DISPLAY WERE AVAILABLE. A NORMAL KEY CYCLE DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
NOTE ! THIS IS NOT A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE SITUATION, BUT A MALFUNCTIONING BRAKING SYSTEM MANUFACTURED BY BLUE OX. THE HONDA WAS A TOWED VEHICLE BEHIND A MOTOR HOME. PLEASE READ THE DETAILS CAREFULLY. THE MANUFACTURER, BLUE OX OBVIOUSLY WAS AWARE THAT DANGEROUS SITUATIONS COULD OCCUR AS THEY HAVE A PARAGRAPH IN THE BACK OF THEIR MANUAL ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A "FALSE BREAKAWAY" HAVING THIS OCCUR COULD HAVE RESULTED INTO A SERIOUS FATAL ACCIDENT. WHY IS BLUE OX ALLOWED TO SELL A PRODUCT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE A SERIOUS MAJOR ACCIDENT? I HAVE UPLOADED ALL OF THE COMMUNICATIONS WITH BLUE OX AS WELL AS PHOTOS OF THE DESTROYED TIRES ON THE TOWED VEHICLE. IN FEBRUARY 2020, I HAD A LOCAL DEALER INSTALL A BLUE OX ACCENT WITH THE PATRIOT 3 BRAKING SYSTEM. WE USED IT LAST YEAR WITH NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER. (APPROX 3,000 MILES) WE LEFT OUR HOME FEBRUARY 10, 2021 TO TRAVEL TO FLORIDA KEYS AND UP THE GULF COAST. AT THAT POINT, WE COVERED OVER ANOTHER 2,000 MILES WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN WE CROSSED OVER IN GA, THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF CONSTRUCTION. WE WERE TRAVELING 50 MPH SINCE IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND THERE WAS ONE LARGE BUMP, WHICH APPARENTLY CAUSED THE BREAKAWAY SWITCH TO ENGAGE AND LOCKED UP THE WHEELS ON THE TOW VEHICLE. AS SOON AS IT OCCURRED AND I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED, I PULLED THE POWER SUPPLY OUT OF THE DASH SENDING UNIT, WHICH RELEASED THE TOW VEHICLE BRAKES. HOWEVER, I NOW HAVE 4 RUINED TIRES AS THEY ARE FLAT SPOTTED. IS THIS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE ? WE ARE TRAVELING AGAIN TO TOMORROW AND I AM RELUCTANT TO CONNECT THE BREAKAWAY SENSOR AGAIN AS IT COULD CREATE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE ARE HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME AND THE DEALER THAT INSTALLED THE UNIT. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ? IS THERE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU CAN MAKE AS I AM CERTAIN THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER CONSTRUCTION ON I-95 AS WE TRAVEL NORTH.*DT

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I SMELL GASOLINE WHILE SITTING IN THE CABIN DRIVING. MY CAR HAS SAT ALL NIGHT AND I'M PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND I SMELL GASOLINE. IT SMELLS LIKE WHEN THERE IS A SMALL CAN OF GAS IN THE CAR A LAWN MOWER. SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE SMELL IS NOT UNLIKE THE SMELL YOU GET WHEN YOU SPILL GAS ON YOUR LAWNMOWER AND START MOWING THE LAWN. HONDA REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEN THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME. I CAN'T AFFORD IT. MY SON READ OF THIS PROBLEM IN HONDA CR-V FORUM WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT THE OIL PAN BEING AN ISSUE. BUT THE CAR MODEL WAS NOT A 2016 AND IS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOE THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS COMING. I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS SMELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IT APPEARS HONDA HAS A KNOWN DEFECT CONCERNING THE DRIVER DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING MECHANISM AND THEY CHOOSE TO MAKE THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR AND IF DAMAGE CAUSED BY THEIR EFFORTS TO REPAIR THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY.THANKFULLY THE 1,800 QUOTE TO REPLACE THE DOOR PANEL WAS AVOIDED; HOWEVER, I WAS CHARGED $839.74 (391.15 PARTS AND 360 FOR LABOR AT DUVAL HONDA). THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, WHICH EFFECTED THE TRUNK INABILITY TO OPEN AND I HAD TO GET IN AND OUT BY LEAVING THE PASSENGER SIDE UNLOCKED AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE 2011 CRV-EX. IF I WASN'T FLEXIBLE I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN MY OWN CAR, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS DISAPPOINTING OF HONDA'S LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 HONDA CRV LAST NIGHT AND OUT OF NOWHERE, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ACROSS THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING DISABLING TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND EMISSIONS SAFETY, AMONG MANY OTHER ERRORS. THESE SYSTEMS PROVIDE SAFE DRIVING SO THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR USE, AND ALSO FRIGHTENING TO HAVE DEACTIVATED WHEN CRUISING DOWN THE STREET IN DOWNTOWN DENVER, SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. THE CAR HAS LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE WARNING LIGHT ON, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES DID NOT FIX IT AND SO IT WILL NEED DEALER REPAIR. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH 2017-2018 HONDA CRVS AND IS AFFECTING A LOT OF OTHER DRIVERS. THIS CAR FEELS VERY UNSAFE IF ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS KICK ON AND OFF AS THEY PLEASE, SEEMINGLY AT RANDOM.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE I70 TO GO SKIING WITH 3 PASSENGERS, DURING PORTIONS OF THE ROAD WITH STEEP GRADES, THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO THE SPEED LIMIT. DESPITE APPLYING 95 TO 100% POWER, CARS WERE PASSING. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW - AS A HYBRID ONCE THE ASSISTIVE BATTERIES ARE DEPLETED, IT IS ONLY RUNNING ON THE ENGINE - AT ALTITUDE THE ENGINE IS STARVED FOR OXYGEN AND DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER. THIS IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL ON THE DRIVER AND UNSAFE WHILE IN THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.
