POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 50MPH THE GEAR BUTTON FOR SHIFTER CAME OFF. LUCKILY IT LANDED IN THE CUP HOLDER OTHERWISE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT INTO PARK ONCE STOPPED AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN STILL BE IN DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY PUT IT BACK IN PLACE SO THAT I COULD PUT INTO PARK. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE CABIN OF MY CRV SMELLS NAUSEATINGLY LIKE GASOLINE CAUSING SEVERE HEADACHES. IT HAPPENS WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, AND ALSO WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON IT. I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN THE 2020 MODELS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 HONDA CR-V TOURING WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. TODAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE IN A STORE PARKING LOT, I PUSHED IN ON THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON AND MOVED THE SHIFT LEVER INTO REVERSE. WHEN I REMOVED MY THUMB FROM THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON, THE BUTTON HAD CLEARLY BROKEN ON THE INSIDE OF THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER, AS WHEN I REMOVED MY THUMB, THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON BUTTON EJECTED FROM THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER (IT IS SPRING LOADED). THIS LEFT ME BLOCKING TRAFFIC AFTER HAVING BACKED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, BY SIMPLY PULLING DOWN ON THE GEAR SHIFTER. HOWEVER ONCE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, IT COULD NO LONGER BE SHIFTED INTO PARK OR REVERSE WITHOUT THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON (WHICH WAS NOW ON THE FLOOR AT MY FEET ON THE DRIVERS SIDE) THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE SO I COULD FIND THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON ON THE FLOOR. THIS ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (KEEPING ONE HAND ON THE SHIFTER TO AVOID THE BUTTON EJECTING AGAIN) HOWEVER A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER MAY BECOME FLUSTERED, AND LOOSE ATTENTION CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS FORTUNATE THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME WERE PATIENT AND NOT APPROACHING QUICKLY. ALL DRIVERS WILL BE EXPECTING THIS BUTTON TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, AND IT IS DISCONCERTING THAT A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY THREE YEARS AND THREE MONTHS OLD WOULD HAVE SUCH A FAILURE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PART ON LINE, I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER FOLKS REPORTING THIS PART FAILING, AND ALMOST ALL FROM THE 2017 MODEL YEAR. BEING UNABLE TO SHIFT A VEHICLE IS A MAJOR FLAW, AND THIS PART SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

REPORTED FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW MALFUNCTIONING TO NHTSA EARLY 2019 ABOUT THIS BUT NO RESPONSE. MY RESEARCH DISCLOSED THIS PROBLEM WAS RECALLED BUT ONLY UP TO 2006 MODELS OF THE HONDA CR-V. MY HONDA CR-V IS 2009. LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO COVER REPAIR COSTS OF $325. IS THERE ANYWAY NHTSA AND YOUR AGENCY MAY INVESTIGATE THIS? SAID PROBLEM EXISTS WHETHER OR NOT SAID VEHICLE STATIONARY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY MIRROR TURN SIGNAL AND LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL FLASHES RANDOMLY ON ITS OWN. SEVERAL TIMES IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. THE LEFT BACK TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT. I SMELL SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL BURNING FUMES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR NEXT TO THE HOOD WHERE IT COMES TO WINDSHIELD. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AS IT IS HAPPENING RANDOMLY AND OFTEN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED , UNATTENDED, AND IN THE OFF POSITION. ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING MY TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH THE BRIGHTNESS AND CHANGE FROM NAV TO PHONE TO RADIO ECT ALL BY ITSELF, IT IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER. .

ENGINE
ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. EVERY SINGLE TIME THE ACCELERATOR IS BEING PUSHED, I HEAR A RATTLE. I AM JUST COMING BACK FROM THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THIS COULD BE SOMETHING RELATED TO ENGINE AND IS GOING TO COST 2000 OR MORE AND JUST DID A OIL TREATMENT TO THE ENGINE JUST TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP BEFORE DOING AN OPEN HEART SURGERY(MESSING WITH ENGINE). I HOPE HONDA COMES BACK AND FIXES THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS SO COMMON WITH SO MANY OF THEIR 2014 HONDA CRVS.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE KEEPS GAINING OIL LEVEL FROM BURNED FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER INSTALLED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I LIVE IN THE SOUTH SO THE COLD WEATHER IS NOT THE ISSUE. I AM AN INDUSTRIAL MECHANIC FOR 47 YEARS AND DO MY OWN MAINTENANCE SO I KNOW WHAT THE CORRECT LEVEL IS. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX BUT DILUTED FUEL LEADS TO DAMAGE AND IF SEVERE, CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND ACCIDENT. THE IMAGE POSTED IS ABOUT 7K MILES ON OIL CHANGE AND THE LEVEL IS ABOVE THE LEVEL MARKER PAD. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY FAILS TO FUNCTION WHICH ALLOWS ACCESS TO VEHICLE INFORMATION AND CONTROL ACCESS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE UNIT BUT THIS ISSUE GOES BACK TO 2016 AND SO FAR, DO NOT KNOW IF THE REPLACEMENT WILL SOLVE THE ISSUE SINCE IT WAS REPLACED WITH A REMANUFACTURED PART, NOT NEW. THE DEALER REPLACED THE UNIT REALLY NOT TELLING HONDA THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FAILURE TYPE, THEY SAID IT WAS SOUND SYSTEM ISSUE WHEN THEY KNEW FOR A FACT THERE WAS NONE AS I GAVE THEM A VIDEO AND A LETTER DESCRIBING THE ISSUE. ONE PART IS 1000 DOLLARS AND THE OTHER 1800 DOLLARS, A STIFF COST WHEN WARRANTY RUNS OUT. THEIR FIX IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT A COUPLE OF HUNDRED A MONTH. A WIN WIN FOR THEM AND A LOSS TO THE CONSUMER. THE FAILURE WAS SPORATIC AND HAPPENED DRIVING OR PARKED. THE FAILURE DATE IS JUST FOR THE ELECTRONIC PART BUT OIL ISSUE HAS BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND MAKING A TURN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA THE STEERING WHEEL GOT STIFF AND FELT AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I WAS ABLE TO TURN BUT VERY SLOWLY AS IF THE CAR WERE IN NEUTRAL ALMOST FELT LIKE IDLING. I CHECKED MY STEERING FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS AT THE PROPER LEVEL SO I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT IS GOING ON BUT I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS ISSUE AND FIND IT TO BE COMMON WITH THIS GENERATION OF HONDA CR-VS. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY BUT FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE UNSAFE DRIVING THAN WHEN THAT HAPPENED IT WAS A VERY SCARY FEELING AND I AM THANKFUL THAT THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC WAS NOT FAST PACED OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE VERY LIKELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE CAR HAS STARTER ISSUES, I'VE REPLACED BATTERY, KEY BATTERY AND HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT RELAYS, STARTER AND PUSH BUTTON STARTER, COULDN'T FIX IT. ALSO DURING RAIN, THE CAR HAS LEAK PROBLEM ON THE ROOF AREA WHERE THE INDOOR LIGHTS ARE LOCATED. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THE WIPER BLADES DON'T TOUCH THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS AND STILL DON'T HAVE THE BLADES TOUCH THE WINDSHIELD. I DRIVE CAR TO WORK 3 DAYS A WEEK AND BEEN PATIENT ABOUT IT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND HAD ONLY 17000 MILES. BOUGHT GAP INSURANCE DUE TO IT BEING USED CAR. WHEN RAINING IT'S PARKED WHEN IT LEAKS DURING HEAVY RAINS. IT'S TAKES 5 TO 10 ATTEMPTS WHEN TRYING TO START. I BELIEVE THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT BUT NOT REPORTED. I PURCHASED IT IN 2018, IT HAS SOME BODY DAMAGE BUT DIDN'T QUESTION IT. HAD BAD TIRES AND GOT NEW ONES. LATELY I'VE NOTICE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START. LOOK AT ALL FUSES. STILL NO STARTER FIXED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHECK THESE ISSUES, EVEN HONDA COULDN'T SOLVE THE STARTER PROBLEMS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL BOTH LOCKED UP, SO I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR IN ANY WAY. AFTER THE VEHICLE DRIFTED ACROSS SEVERAL LANES, IT HYDROPLANED, SPINNING SEVERAL TIMES. AT NO POINT DID ANY OF THE VEHICLE'S MANY AUTOMATED STABILITY FEATURES ACTIVATE, INCLUDING ABS. HAD I COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE I LIKELY WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. I WAS LUCKY INSTEAD TO WRECK IN A DITCH, AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE RETURNED CONTROL OF THE WHEEL AND BRAKES, BUT STILL THE ABS DID NOT SEEM TO ACTIVATE. FURTHER, THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED A SECOND OR TWO LATE, AFTER THE CAR WAS ALREADY UPRIGHTING FROM HAVING ROLLED ON ITS SIDE. I SUSPECT THIS SCENARIO MIGHT BE EXPLAINED BY A DEFECT IN HOW THE SOFTWARE RESPONDS TO SENSOR READINGS OF SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS.

SAFETY RECALL CONCERN - THE DOORS DO NOT STAY LOCKED WHEN CAR IS AT A STANDSTILL/IN MOTION. WHEN DRIVING THEY INTERMITTENTLY LOCK/UNLOCK. I BROUGHT THIS CONCERN TO THE ATTENTION OF MY MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME THAT (2) ACTUATORS - (1) BACK & (1) FRONT - NEED TO BE REPLACED, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR LOT ABOUT A YEAR & A HALF AGO. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT A RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS PROBLEM WAS ISSUED 6/30/15. ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE ARE 0 UNREPAIRED RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. AM I INELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL SIMPLY BECAUSE I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE? I'M A FEMALE AND WOULD LIKE TO FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING AROUND ALONE IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO WHEN THE DOORS SIMPLY UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN.

AIR BAGS
I LOOKED UP MY VIN I'D TO SEE IT HAD A AIR BAG RECALL. I THEN CALL MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO SEE WHEN I COULD TAKE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL. THEY STATED BRING IT ANT TIME. I ALSO RECEIVED A 'SAFETY RECALL NOTICE' FROM HONDA. ON 10/27/2020 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE AIR BAG REPLACED. AS IT TURN OUT ON THE PAPER WORK WHEN CONTACTED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE IT STATED 'AIR BAG INSPECTION COMPLETE'. I LATER CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS NOT REPLACED BUT ONLY INSPECTED. THIS WAS DONE BY HONDA SPREEN. IS INSPECTION ONLY CORRECT OR REPLACEMENT CORRECT. SHOULD THE RECALL HAVE REPLACED THE ACTUAL DEVICE. DOES THIS RECALL COVER BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON THIS VEHICLE?
