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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT EXISTS IN MY 2018 HONDA CR-V. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ON MY HONDA WILL, ARBITRARILY, CYCLE THROUGH VARIOUS MENUS AND START BEEPING LOUDLY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DIVERTS THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD. IT IS UNBELIEVABLY ANNOYING AND IT COMPLETELY DESTROYS A DRIVER'S SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE 2017-2019 CR-V AS WELL AS OTHER HONDA MODELS. IT CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING AND NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS FAILURE MODE CAN BE FOUND ON YOUTUBE. HONDA, HAS SUGGESTED THAT THE SOFTWARE IS AT FAULT AND ISSUED AN UPDATE, BUT THIS HAS DONE NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, I WRITE THIS LETTER IN THE HOPE THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TAKES ACTION AND INVESTIGATES THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. THERE ARE COUNTLESS STORIES ON HONDA FORUMS OF DRIVERS BEING DISTRACTED AND REMOVING THEIR ATTENTION FROM THE ROAD AS THE CENTER INFOTAINMENT SCREEN STARTS FLASHING AND BEEPING INCESSANTLY.

AFTER FINISHING A 300 MILE TRIP, WE UNLOADED THE CAR AND PARKED IT. THIS VEHICLE IS A MONTH OLD, WITH 557 MILES AFTER THIS TRIP. I SPENT 60 MINUTES LOOKING FOR ROAD DINGS AND ANY SCRATCHES. FOUND NOTHING! I WENT BACK OUT TO BE SURE WE LOCKED AND FOUND A 5 INCH CRACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I SPENT ANOTHER 30 MINUTES LOOKING FOR A REASON/CAUSE. THERE WAS NO MARKS ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION. AND AFTER SITTING PARKED FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. IT APPEARS THAT BOTH LAYERS OF GLASS ARE DAMAGED!

NEW VEHICLE WITH APPROX. 3,000 MILES BECAME COMPLETELY DISABLED ON HIGHWAY AND EXPOSED OCCUPANTS TO EXTREME DANGER. DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT A "FAULTY BRAKE SENSOR" WAS THE CAUSE OF THE VEHICLE BECOMING INOPERABLE. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 60 MPH AND ENGINE DIED ON AN UNDERPASS TURN BARELY VISIBLE TO TRAFFIC BEHIND AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI CRUISING AT 60+ MPH. FAILURE OF ALL SYSTEMS RESULTED AND COULD HAVE KILLED THE HONDA CR-V OCCUPANTS.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I WAS DRIVING 40MPH UP BEACH BLVD. NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY NEAR ME. THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BEEPED AND FLASHED BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE. WITHOUT CAUSE THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY. THIS IS THE SECOND REPORTED INCIDENT WITH THIS SAME CAR IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP. NO RECALLS OR PROBABLE CAUSE. AFTER LAST INCIDENT, THERE WERE SOME NEW UPDATES INSTALLED ON THE CAR. TOLD I WOULD NEVER HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES - A FREAK OCCURRENCE. MY FEAR IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME. THIS SAFETY FEATURE MAY VERY WELL BE DEADLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVER'S SIDE MASTER SWITCH FOR POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO WATER DAMAGE/LEAKAGE THROUGH THE WINDOW INTO THE DOOR PANEL DUE TO FOGGING AT THE WINDOW CORNER WHEN VEHICLE GETS WET. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THIS THAT WAS FIXED IN 2011 WITH A PREVIOUS OWNER BUT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING ISSUE AND IN LINE WITH CURRENT RECALL P9D. WHEN I SEARCH MY VEHICLE NO ACTIVE RECALLS POP UP BUT I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
WHILE DRIVING UNDER ORDINARY CONDITIONS, WARNING SYSTEMS BEGIN. THE FIRST WARNING IS TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE AWD SYSTEM IS OVERHEATING. FROM THAT POINT, MANY DIFFERENT WARNING MESSAGES BEGIN SCROLLING WITH REPEATED WARNINGS OF ALL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR FAILING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS APART. ALSO, ON ONE OCCASSION, WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH TO CAUTION A SLOW DOWN, AND THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OBSTACLES ON ANY SIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO "RESET" ITSELF, AND NORMAL OPERATION IS RETURNED. ALL INSTANCES OCCURRED DURING NORMAL CITY DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 35 MILES PER HOUR.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE BRAND NEW CR-V HAD A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED UPON COMING TO A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. IT DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE FORWARD MOVEMENT. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AGAIN. DURING THIS TIME, SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES POPPED UP. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STILL WOULD NOT BRAKE PROPERLY AND CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I THEN RECORDED THE ERROR MESSAGES THAT POPPED UP. SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP: 'BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS) PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) PROBLEM, HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, LANE KEEPING ASSIST PROBLEM, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM'.

3WKS FEB23, 2021 I PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA CRV I WAS LOOKING AT SOME CUSTOMERS THAT COMPLAINING ABOUT OIL DELETION IN THE ENGINE, I'M VERY WORRIED BECAUSE I DO GET A GAS SMELL INSIDE MY CAR, FROM THE EXHAUST AND WHEN I CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK. IT DOESN'T SHOW AS A RECALL BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING AND I'M WORRIED THE VEHICLE WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY CAR SKIDDED AND FAILED TO STOP IN ACCEPTABLE DISTANCE/TIME IN ONE INCH OF SNOW NEARLY CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH PEDESTRIAN IN ROADWAY. I WAS ALARMED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED AND ASKED MY MECHANIC TO EVALUATE ANY BRAKING DEFECTS. I WAS INFORMED MY TIRES WERE WORN TO 4/32ND AND THUS HAD LITTLE TREAD LEFT TO GRIP ROAD SURFACE. MECHANIC NOTED ALL ALIGNMENTS AND ROTATIONS WERE TIMELY PERFORMED BY OWNER OF VEHICLE . I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE VEHICLE IS A 2018 HONDA CRV WITH 18000 MILES . THESE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 50000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. YOU CAN IMAGE MY SHOCK THAT TIRES WORE OUT SO FAST AND DRIVING VEHICLE IN SECURITY IS NOW QUESTIONABLE. TIER MANUFACTURER HANKOOK IS DENYING TIRE DEFECTIVENESS EVEN THOUGH HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS PROVED HANKOOK LIABLE AS NO VEHICLE DEFECT IS DISCOVERED. I ASK YOUR ORGANIZATION TO EXAMINE THIS TIRE FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURE AND NOTIFY CONSUMERS THAT TIRE IS UNRELIABLE.
