ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BATTERY DIES FREQUENTLY FOR NO REASON AFTER NOT DRIVING FOR ONE TO TWO DAYS. WHEN THE BATTERY DIES, IT LOCKS UP THE BRAKES AND MESSES UP THE SAFETY FEATURES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE FRONT WINDSCREEN IS COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE DRIVER CAN ONLY SEE THE ROAD AHEAD THROUGH THE LOWER 20% OF THE FIELD OF VIEW. THIS OCCURS AT NIGHT IN SITUATIONS WITH MINIMAL SURROUNDING LIGHTING (EG. NOT IN THE CITY). THE DISTANCE WHICH CAN BE SEEN IS LESS THAN 100 FT. THERE IS A STRAIGHT LINE WITH ABRUPT CHANGE FROM THE LOWER ILLUMINATED REGION TO THE UPPER COMPLETELY BLACK WINDSCREEN THROUGH WHICH HARDLY ANYTHING CAN BE VISUALIZED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS COMPLETELY BLACK WINDSCREEN IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE HEADLIGHTS WERE AT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS WITH THE LOW BEAMS AND THE ILLUMINATED AREA BECOMES EVEN SMALLER ON INCLINES. VISIBILITY IS SLIGHTLY IMPROVED WITH HIGH BEAMS BUT THE UPPER 2/3RD TO 1/2 OF THE WINDSCREEN REMAINS DARKER. THE IIHS SAFETY TEST CONFIRMS MARGINAL ILLUMINATION ON HONDA CRV EX L MODEL WITH INADEQUATE LIGHTING ON CERTAIN TURNS, SO THE DEFICIENCY OF THE LOW BEAMS IS ALREADY DOCUMENTED HOWEVER TESTING APPARENTLY DID NOT OCCUR IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THE BLACK WINDSCREEN CONDITION OCCURS. THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS MODEL A POOR PERFORMANCE/FAILING GRADE. I HAVE FOUND OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND SO I AM SURPRISED THAT A FIX/RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 HONDA CR-V. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EMIT A FUEL LIKE ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE SAT IDLE.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS LIKE OTHER REPORTS MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A LARGE RATTLING SOUND FOR YEARS AND IT'S GETTING WORSE AND FROM WHAT I'VE LOOKED UP IT CAN BE VERY BAD AND EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO OUR CARS AND DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS SHOULD NOT BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR A DEFECT. I AM ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME VTC ACTUATOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BULBS IN MY LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUALLY BURN OUT WHILE IN MOTION, USUALLY ON A RURAL HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON DARK COUNTRY ROADS. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE BULBS 3-4 TIMES PER YEAR ON EACH HEADLIGHT. FROM A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH, I CAN SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY, MANY HONDA CRV OWNERS. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2002-2004 MODELS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V136000) - WILL YOU PLEASE EXPAND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 2005? IF BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO DARK AT THE SAME TIME, IT WILL PROBABLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WITH THIS HAPPENING SO OFTEN ON THE 2005, THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN ACCIDENT INCREASES. PLEASE HELP. (THE LATEST DATE OF 12/1/2020 WHEN MY LIGHT BURNED OUT IS IN THE FIELD BELOW, BUT IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR.)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. A FEW DAYS AFTER RESETTING THE COMPUTER, THIS RECURRED. IN ONE OCCASION, ENGINE POWER WENT TO A MINIMUM (10 MPH ON A LEVEL ROAD) WHILE DRIVING. PARKING BRAKES ENGAGED LIGHTS FLASHING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND WAS REPORTED BY OTHERS (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T76546_DS1113654). HONDA DEALER ADMITTED THEY SAW THIS WITH OTHERS BUT NEITHER THEY NOR CORPORATE HONDA WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT PULLING TO THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROAD THINKING THERE WERE ENGINE PROBLEMS. MY CAR BATTERY IS QUITE NEW AND HAS BEEN CHECKED BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAPPENED SO THIS IS NOT A BATTERY ISSUE. THE REPORTED DATE IS THE LATEST - THIS HAS RECURRED ABOUT 4 TIMES NOW.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET SOON AFTER A STOP SIGN SO MAYBE GOING LESS THAN 10-15 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM SLAMMED THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME OR THERE MAY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
THE CAR BRAKED AND STOPPED SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY IN FRONT OF A A SPEEDBUMP ON A A BRIDGE. THE LAST ONE WAS ON OCTOBER 2, 2020. IN ALL THREE CASES IT WAS EITHER EARLY EVENING (6:30 PM, NO RAIN OR FOUL WEATHER) OR AT LATER AT NIGHT ( AROUND 10:00 PM, ONE TIME WAS RAINING, THE OTHER CASE IT WAS CLEAR). I ALL E THREE CASES I WAS DRIVING WITH SPEEDS OF 10-15 MILES/HR AND THERE WAS NOT A CAR CLOSE IN FRONT OF ME NEAR ME. AFTER THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS THIS IS AN ASSISTING SYSTEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY F MY FAMILY.

OUR 2019 HONDA CRV WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER OF 2019. THE BATTERY HAD DIED 3 TIMES AND HAD TO BE RECHARGED BY THE DEALER. THE HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND COULD TELL US WHY THE BATTERY KEEPS DYING. THE CAR IS DRIVEN EVERY DAY AND THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY AT NIGHT AFTER DRIVING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AS WE HAVE FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2019 HONDA CRV.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
POOR ACCELERATION AND PICKUP WHEN APPLYING GAS. WORSE IN HOTTER WEATHER. THERE IS A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THUS PROBLEM ON SAME YEAR VEHICLE FOR COMPUTER FIRMWARE UPDATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, 10-077 TSB, BUT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER REFUSES TO DO IT. SAYS MY VIN DOESN'T FALL INTO IT, EVEN KNOW THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY WHAT IT FIXES. FRUSTRATED. NO PICKUP IS REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET ON INTERSTATE AND IT IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR.
