ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
While I was driving the car, an indicator with "Battery" symbol showed up on the monitor. All off a sudden I see all the lights went ON/OFF and I couldn't steer the wheel. The Power Steering stopped working and the car was running. Since I was near a 4-way stop sign, I managed to pull my car on the side without an accident. Then I got roadside assistance to tow my car to a mechanic shop. They said the "Alternator" need to be replaced. I did that and went for a "Battery" checkup based on the indicator. The battery was good. It would have been a life threatening incident if I were somewhere on a highway. I wanted to make sure this is taken care seriously by the manufacturer and find a fix. Because it just impacts all electrical things and we can't steer the car!

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The automatic braking system on my car continuously breaks for no reason at all. It’s happened probably 7-8 times since buying the vehicle in September 2022. The reason I am filing the complaint is because it did it yesterday to me in the middle of the interstate when nobody was in front of me, and the Adaptive Cruise Control was not on. The car braked in the middle of the interstate causing me to nearly lose control of my vehicle. It happened again today while my husband was drive. This time, there was a car in front of us that had just turned and after the car turned, our car automatically braked after the car in front of us had made their turn. It caused the person behind us to nearly hit us because the car braked so suddenly

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Out of the blue, the high pressure fuel pump failed on this car and had to be replaced. The specifics are if not identical, close to the same as the low pressure fuel pump issue that had a a recall. The car started but then stalled. We were able to restart after disconnecting battery, drove a short distance and the same situation happened. From that moment the car would only start but then immediately stall. The part that was replaced is a Denso 1679050PC, H022M2. The part that the local dealership says was replaced is 06161-5PC-305, We also have reported to Honda Corporate and they are investigating under Case No.14028770. We do not have much documentation as yet, but telephone conversations indicate they are only considering a hardship/loyalty reimbursement as a possibility. It is pending. In addition, I have been advised by our local mechanic that he has the exact same issue in another car, a 2019 Honda Accord.

The hood appears to flex when you reach speeds greater than 40mph. Took it to honda and it appears that the weld joints already broke loose. So were the outside hood is welded to the internal frame of the hood, it has come loose at all 15+ joints and is now rusted. Honda is working with me to determine next steps but I have read online that this appears to be a larger issue. Many users are experiencing this problem

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
This issue is something I've noticed happen about once every six months since I've had the car (purchased in January 2018), but I have never had it inspected or confirmed by an authorized professional, dealer, etc. On occasion, the automatic brake system will detect a false positive and flash on the screen to brake OR just automatically apply the brakes for the vehicle, even when there is nothing in front of me. I don't know if it's coincidence, but this tends to happen when there are virtually no vehicles within close vicinity and when I'm either cresting a slight incline or at the base of a slight decline. I have had this happen at various speeds, from 30mph to 60mph. This puts my and others' safety at risk as an unexpected brake may cause a crash. No messages or other symptoms of this problem exist. It just happens on occasion.

On 08/09/23 at 1108 hours, I called Langdale Honda in Valdosta, GA. I told them of the current recall on my vehicle. It was verified via VIN, and then I was discouraged from bringing in the vehicle. I was told that the recall applied to northern cars that suffered from salt and snow exposure, and that my vehicle should be OK. It clearly states in the recall notice that mud can also be a factor. I reminded the associate of that. I also reminded the associate of Federal Law. Thereafter, he said that I could bring the vehicle in if I desired; however, I was concerned because I bought my vehicle used. I don't know its history, and don't know from where it originally came. I did not make an appointment with Langdale due to mistrust.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My Honda CRV infotainment system is flashing on and off uncontrollably with the brightness setting and cannot stop. It is very distracting and dangerous to drive at night as the entire screen flashes on and off brightly and beeps. I have taken multiple videos of the incident and also sent it to the Honda Dealership where they have not fixed the issue. They only did a factory reset and the issue still happens daily. I am aware of a Honda service bulletin 19-066 that is describing this exact issue but it is not a recall so they will not update the faulty software to fix the issue. Very dangerous to drive with this issue.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
2017 CR-V has 55,000 miles on it. ALL of the dashboard warning lights are coming on randomly, causing panic and making it impossible to tell if something is really wrong. Very Dangerous. Honda dealer diagnosis is to replace all 4 fuel injectors at cost of $1,726. There are literally thousands of reports about this online, people being given the same repair fix, often without permanent success, and with having to pay thousands for relatively low mileage vehicles. Honda has issued extended warranty for other Honda models about fuel injectors but has done nothing for the Honda CR-Vs. 2017 seems to be a bad year for this fault. Driving a vehicle with multiple warnings flashing randomly is dangerous.

Vehicle was taken in May to have the corrosion recall procedure completed. while at the dealership it failed the inspection and was told it would be bought back. After 10 weeks and many phone calls received an offer that was a slap in the face for an offer. representatives were dismissive in nature and dodged my questions. faced with either the option of accepting a low offer or spending money out of pocket to fix it personally was a terrible option. Dealer and Honda both refused to fix my vehicle even though the corrosion is not the issue at hand since the threads of the trailing arm were messed up by the dealership.

My 2017 CRV started beginning of this year 2023 one day with all the dash codes lighting up effecting the safety drivability of the vehicle. It would randomly stop accelerating and all driver assist system not functioning properly. Accelerating was dangerous vehicle would stall or hesitate to go and almost caused us to get into an accident. This has been brought to a main Honda dealership in Henrietta New York and confirmed that replacing the fuel injectors would solve the problem and that this was an ongoing issue with the Honda CRVs. My vehicle was one of many that had been waiting for fuel injectors to be delivered at that shop. Based on other forums and Honda sites how this isn’t a recall is baffling. We waited over a month without our vehicle being fixed and unusable because the part was out of stock. Vehicle is still not fixed and we called all out Honda dealerships in Rochester New York today and they ALL are waiting for fuel injectors for the CRVs they have being repaired. I purchased this vehicle known for Hondas reliability but this is EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING you have customers with HONDA brand vehicles that ARE unusable and unsafe DUE TO A COMMON KNOWN ISSUE with the all the dash lights being effected by fuel injectors. This coming from a family of 6 with 4 children. Currently vehicle has been inspected by two auto shops for same issue and replicated codes, and unsafe driving issues with our CRV.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The locking actuator gradually started going, where the locking knob would go down or up slowly as if it was stuck. Then one day the rear doors stopped working, then the front doors started to go. I have to unlock by key or manually inside the vehicle. Not only that though, I started having a weird not start situation. I tested the alternator and starter and were in good margin so I replaced the battery and it worked for a day then wouldn't start up the next day. All the interior lights are off just in case there was some sort of parasitic outlet that is constantly draining the battery. Ive gone through 3 batteries and was about to replace the starter in case there was a bad cell until I found out that the 2004 honda crv community has 600+ complaints for the door actuators draining the battery for this vehicle. There should be a recall and this should be covered at 100% or at least a percentage.

On 8-1-23 My 2022 Honda CRV Hybrid locked me out of my car of its own volition with the keys and fob sitting inside the CRV on the passenger front seat. It left me stranded until I could find someone to drive me to my house. I called Avalon Honda at 11:00am and spoke to the Service department. They promptly told me they couldn't fit me in for at least a week and the key fob battery was probably the problem also that they would not give me a loaner car to use when they tried to fix the problem. On 8-2-23, my 2022 CRV Hybrid locked me out of my car of its own volition with me having the keys and Fob in my hand. My cell phone was still in the car and the car was running. The Fob would not open the door. The manual key would not open the door either. I was stranded along a wooded area long road where I had no way to get help. I finally found help and used someone else's cell phone to call Avalon Honda where the Service Manager, Joe Dimonte, told me that if I could get the car to them, then they would take a look at it. I was within 5 miles of their dealership where I bought the car, and they refused to help me stranded outside my vehicle, without even my cell phone or wallet to get any other help. After an hour of my car running and trying to find a way in the car, a friend came and drove me to my house to get the second Fob and stopped at Avalon Honda and had a new manual key cut. Neither key Fob or emergency key worked and their newly cut key opened the door. Praise the Lord. Drove to the Avalon dealership to which again I was told they didn't have time to look at it now but would call me to let me know when they could order a new cylinder for my lock. Service manager was amazed that the emergency keys were the wrong ones but the key did work the glove compartment. In January, in Arizona, the CRV had some instances of problems with electronics, replaced key Fob battery, and the problem seemed to be temporarily fixed. Manager damaged key hole.
