FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Vehicle began hard braking using the collision avoidance system when there were no other vehicles or obstacles on the road. Then the vehicle safety systems (adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation braking system and road departure mitigation system and brake system) all began displaying warning messages. The car only has 1600 miles. The dealer inspected and states that the safety systems are not functioning because the camera failed. A replacement part will not be available for six weeks and the dealer indicated the vehicle was safe to drive with the error messages, but that in an accident none of the safety features would function. The dealer is unable to provide a reason for the failure, but suggested it could be due to heat. The dealer indicated there was the same vehicle type that experienced the same failure a few days earlier.

STEERING
The steering has been "sticky" when turning and has gotten increasingly more difficult to turn and has been not operating correctly, meaning you don't know if you are going to need to overcompensate or under. We took it into the dealership for the fuel pump recall and they couldn't identify the problem. We told them to keep it for a day or two and keep trying. My wife went in and did a test drive with the foreman and he said the power rack steering and the sensors were failing and it would need to be replaced. The service advisor said it was fine to drive as my wife had a conference three hours away, but after having the car back for a week it had gotten noticeable worse with creaks and clicks when turning in particular. I called and spoke to the service manager and he said that he would not drive it to the conference, so it is basically unsafe to drive at this point as we don't know when it will fail or what kind of accident we could get in while driving it. There were no lights or warning to indicate the failure and as I said, the technician and service advisor at first couldn't identify the problem, but we are all in agreement that the steering is failing.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
Multiple times I have gone to pull out onto a road and the car has hesitated and actually stalled a few times almost causing me to be hit. Starting in 2021. Around 70,000 miles the Check Engine light came on saying Emission Control problem and went off. Around this time it all began. At 80,000 miles it would cycle on and off intermittently "check engine" and they told me it was the Catalytic Convertor which i replaced at over $2,000 dollars in cost.. I still have the issue. Honda is hiding a problem and there are articles saying its the O2 and MAF sensors. causing these issues and the software also. Talking to a local repair shop he said I was the third Honda CRV he has seen this month. Hesitation, Stalling, Clogged Catalytic Converters?? , Acceleration not happening when you step on the gas pedal. I am not alone with this problem.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
2009 HONDA CR-V- I recently received a recall notice from Honda regarding a problem with a rear frame member of my 2009 CR-V. I am all too familiar with this problem since it happened to me around two years ago. At the time of its failure I was advised by the service station that towed it that was a non-repairable situation. I therefore had it towed to my West Winfield home where I would later sell it as "junk". There seemed little use (and added expense) to have it towed to a Honda dealer since it was beyond repair. Upon receiving the recent notice I reached out to Honda who wanted little to do with my situation since I no longer owned the vehicle. I sought to at least seek some form of compensation, somewhere between the value of the vehicle and the amount I received as salvage (approx. $1100). While they've assigned a case number to me, they have not offered to provide any kind of relief in any shape or form. I am reaching out to you for some guidance on how to best proceed. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
Within the last 2 months the car began to run rough. We added fuel injector cleaner to no avail. After some time, the computer system went berserk - every system in the car was informing us that it had a problem (ie lane keep assist, lane departure warning, collision mitigation braking system, vehicle stability assist , electric power steering etc) along with continued rough engine performance. We took the vehicle to a local Honda dealership repair shop and were eventually informed that the fuel injectors were faulty and need to be replaced. We requested that they order a set of injectors for us a month ago and are still waiting delivery of these back-ordered parts A phone call recently to the parts department of another dealer turned up with non-availability there as well The fact that these parts are in such demand along with the continued poor performance of our vehicle suggests that there may be some sort of widespread problem with this model of vehicle The constant alerts about system failures accompanied by warning chimes are a major distraction while driving. If a real problem occurs involving one of these systems, we won’t know about it since they are all “screaming “ at us about their impending failure While bad fuel injectors are not a direct safety hazard, the resulting systems problem can be seen as somewhat hazardous

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Within two hours of picking new CRV up, Auto Stop Idle Problem - see your Dealer" message popped up. Two weeks later, 12 error messages popped up on dash. Took vehicle in 5 times for repairs after error messages popped up after each repair. Front grill, battery sensor, battery and entire harness were replaced. I don't feel confident I can trust the safety of this vehicle. In addition, this vehicle does not have blind spot warning.

When driving on a two lane road with no other cars around and traveling at 45 mph the car emergency brake heads up display light was displayed and braked in an unsafe, unpreventable manner to 10mph before allowing us to continue driving after manually breaking and applying speed again. This is now the third time this has happened this year and it's unsafe.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Honda CR-V head unit or central console refuses to dim. This is a serious safety threat as display is glaringly bright and distorts night vision. I did take the vehicle to dealership for inspection and recommendation was to replace the head unit as they think this is a hardware issue. Professionally, I am a software engineer and I find it very hard to accept that this is a hardware issue. The hardware otherwise works perfectly with no defect. Judging by my experience this looks like software is overriding user inputs. Internet forums are full of similar reports by many users. As this can be a serious safety issue, I request you to look into this issue.

AIR BAGS
My airbag light came on on June 2, 2023. I called Honda to get an appointment, inwhich I did for 6/20/23 for them to diagnose and do a state inspection. On 6/20/23, I was told that I had a FAULTY CABLE REEL. I was told that my car would not pass inspection without me getting this repaired at the cost of $760.99. I got it repaired on 6/21/23 due to the part having to be ordered and received that day.
