FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My car's fuel pump system quit working without warning or noticed. My car stalled in an intersection and caused serious concern for my safety. Honda has a safety recall for other Honda CRV 2018 vehicles but not my vin number. My car only has 54,000 miles on it and it is very odd that this recall is the same problem I'm having. "Fuel pump inoperability could prevent an engine from starting or stall an engine while driving, increasing the risk of a crash"

After 6 months and 12000 miles of ownership I’m starting to notice dents forming along the Left side and right side of the roof rail from the front to the back of the vehicle. This issue verified be a dealership as a manufacturing issue. I was quoted a price for repairs which would be added to my car fax. There might be an issue with frame or metal used for this vehicle

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have a 2019 Honda CRV, purchased new on Guam from Triple J Honda (Tamuning) on Jan 2020. As of May 2023, my car has about 32,000 miles but my car began having trouble starting [engine made sputtering(?) noises when turning the key] that morning. Then, while driving in traffic, the car had STALLED/STOPPED WORKING in the middle of rush hour (around 9AM) traffic!!! THANK the LORD, though, the traffic light had just turned red so all the other drivers were slowing down around me! I tried over & over again, but the car wouldn't start! So, the police had to stop/redirect traffic and also helped me push my car to a safe area. Almost all the warning signals on my dashboard were lit on, so I wasn't sure what caused the problem. The engine warning light was also on, so I had a towing company take my car home to replace with a new Honda battery. After placing a new Honda car battery (bought at Triple J Tamuning), it still had difficulty starting, made sputtering noises, and was drivable for only 2-3 feet, then it died again! I had to tow my car again but to Triple J Honda (Tamuning) to diagnose the problem. The service advisor told me that the reason why my car won't start is because "You have a major problem with your fuel pump." I researched online and found that 2018-2019 Honda CRV had safety recalls for the fuel pumps. So, I searched the nhtsa & owners.honda.com websites whether there's a safety recall for my car; but there's no recall showing based on my VIN. Is it true that more cars are being still being added or owners notified later about the safety recalls? This 2019 Honda CRV is the only car available to make deliveries/pick up some supplies for my (very small: me & my mom) family business. So, we really do need this car working reliably asap. If Triple J Honda says that I have to pay for the fuel pump replacement because there's no safety recall for my car's VIN, what can/should I do? How can I know or be notified whether my car will get a safety recall? Thank

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
i was driving 55 mph on north long lake road approaching the north long lake/west long lake intersection. A car was in the turn lane and almost turned to Lake Ann. Another car was approaching going east. The automatic braking suddenly came on for no reason Almost stopping the car in the middle of the road. The CRV slowed very quickly from 55 mph to 5 mph for no reason. Then it went off and I was able to speed back up. this is the second time the braking system has stopped the car for no reason. Luckily there was no one behind me. this is the second complaint I have filed to NHSTA for the same reason

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving on the highway at 65 mph I heard what I describe as a very loud popping noise on the top of my car. I looked in my rearview mirror to see chunks of black falling behind my car. I immediately put my four ways on and made my way over to the shoulder of the road; this was during rush hour traffic. I had to wait until I could safely exit my car to see what had happened and I discovered my sun roof had shattered for no reason. Nothing had hit it, nothing bounced on the road in front of me and hit my roof, nothing had flown off of any vehicles near me.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Upon repair, at the authorized dealer, for the rear trailing arm recall in May 2023, the service Advisor noted that antifreeze/ coolant was leaking from a corroded/ rusty heater pipe deep inside the engine compartment. Although they quoted a repair price and a separate coolant flush fee, the part is not currently available from Honda. This heater pipe is backordered and thus unavailable for repair as quoted. Since this antifreeze leak makes this vehicle undriveable, I was forced to research then search for this part availability and buy it myself as an aftermarket non OEM part. It seems that this rust issue related to the rear trailing arm is not the only rust concern on these 2007-2011 Honda CR-Vs.

SUSPENSION, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
I have owned my Honda since it had 11 miles on it, brand new in the parking lot I took it home. I’ve noticed in the past few months since September of 2022 ish the lane assist, and lane departure do not work now. Out of 100 times I drive the lane keep only works maybe 5/100 times. I called the dealership explaining how it’s a safety concern if it ever defected. And it’s not keeping me in the lane or even trying to read the lines on the road. The dealer wanted $199 just to look at it. I ended up watching a YouTube video, disconnecting and cleaning my battery, resetting all systems and computer. It fixed it for a day, then stopped working again. I haven’t taken it to the dealer because I can’t afford $199 hair for them to look at it. Also, my car is four years old and I’ve had fluid leaking out of the bottom of my car since I bought it. My mechanic and I both thought it was an oil leak. Then assumed it was factory oil from the new engine or the ac unit. Well at my last state inspection Honda wanted $1200 because my right front strut was leaking fluid. Which explains the wobbliness and uneven drive in the vehicle. I just had my tires replaced and the vehicle drives very unstable. I spent $250 on the part online and replaced it myself and it has been corrected but now I need a $130 alignment from Honda. Not been in an accident but I grew up in a mechanic family. I do all of my own maintenance with a family member on a lift.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The emergency braking system reacts unexpectedly and unnecessarily. I see there is an investigation for vehicles up to 2019, but my 2021 has done this at least a dozen times since new. My experience seems to indicate that it's often related to a shadow on the road. Could be an adjacent vehicle or simply a large tree or building. It can happen with an asphalt repair that is darker than the surrounding road or even a wet spot. It would also seem to be more likely to happen when driving towards the sunset or sunrise. It nearly caused me to get rear ended this weekend. It stabbed the brakes hard for a shadow on the road with vehicles behind me. Please extend the investigation to the rest of this vehicle's production.

While driving all these systems will start flashing and no longer work. The dealer's fix it to simply reset the codes. So this can happen at any time and be a risk to the driver and people in the vehicle and around it. This has happened numerous times in the 5 years I have owned this vehicle.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Reporting an old incident as it matches an issue with the current open investigation on the Emergency Collision Brake system in the Honda CR-V line. Was driving down the highway unobstructed, no vehicles in front of me but had vehicles a fair distance behind me. Emergency forward collision system engaged with no warning, with zero obstructions, and stopped my vehicle on a dime. Had the cars behind me been closer, there would have been a collision into the back of my vehicle. Vehicle was inspected by a local Honda dealership and a cause was not found, but brake booster was replaced as a precaution under warranty.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I completed an oil change on Saturday May 13, 2023 with Morehead Honda, Newburgh NY. On May 14, 2023, while operating my 2018 Honda CRV all the lights for the ADAS illuminated on the dash board of the vehicle and continued to cycle through continously. The lights are as follow: hill start problems, collision mitigation problems, brake system problems, power steering problems, VSA problems, steering problems, TPMS problem. Brake hold problems, adaptive cruise problems, electrical brake problems, brake hold system problems, road mitigation problems, emissions system problems and power steering problems I returned the vehicle to Morehead Honda dealership and a diagnostic was performed. The diagnostic results were excessive fluid to injector and excessive air to brake which involves the compressor and the fuel injector. This is a clear manufacturer defect which is a safety issue. I also conducted a query on the NHSTA and there are recalls listed for issue for 2018 Honda CRVs, however my vehicle VIN was not included.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving at 20-25 MPH on Chicago’s LaSalle Street at the Chicago River bridge the automatic braking system engaged stooping the car suddenly with a skid. No brake warning light came on nor chimes sound. It seams as though I needed to shift into park and back into drive to get going again. If someone had been behind me they would have rear ended me. Thought - given the bridge deck is metal grating, May that have set off the system?

STRUCTURE:BODY
I have contacted several Honda dealers in the last month re recall # 23V-228. All have indicated that they do not have the parts available (support brace) to complete this recall, that the parts are on "back order" from Honda, and that they have no ETA on when they may be able to complete the recall. Please consider this a formal complaint against American Honda Motor Company for failing to complete the above-referenced recall within a "reasonable period of time. (60 days)."
