FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Driving on freeway at approx 65 mph when the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) notification flashed on the dash, and the car automatically hard braked on its own, while my foot was on the gas.Only lasted a few seconds but I felt the lag and it resumed back to normal. This is my second experience of this happening since purchasing the car in February of 2022. The first time however, was at a much slower speed (>20mph), and I did not notice the ACC indication beforehand. The vehicle hard braked while in traffic but resumed back to normal seconds after. I believe the brake indicator flashed on the dash the first time , despite being a fair distance behind the vehicle in front of me. The incidents were approximately 1 year apart from each other.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Air condition system. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I hear metal particles sound inside the AC system under the hood once the car is stopped, which I assume may cause the combustible r1234yf refrigerant to set on fire, particularly in states like Texas and Arizona. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dealer asking me to change the leaking hoses and independent service center asking me to change the compressor but no one tries to resolve the primary issue. Already spent nearly $500 to diagnose it, so tired of spending anymore money on that. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet, I'm registering it here first. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning but it all started after the refrigerant was empty.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On two separate occasions on local roads while driving under 15 miles an hour I was drawing near an intersection and the car in front of me was actively turning onto a side street and I had ample distance from that car and my car suddenly decided I was about to get in an accident and slammed on the breaks. Its a good thing the cars behind me were responsible and were able to break in time or there would have been an accident both times because no one would have expected me to suddenly break in either situation. There were other people in the car each time and we were all surprised.

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
When I put my child’s car set in the middle, or anyone sitting in my back middle seat the person sitting on the left hand side can not buckle there seat belt because the way that the buckles are put in it has to cross over the buckle for the middle seat. I brought it to the dealership they said there is nothing they can do to fix it that’s how all the models are made. It’s not safe and not convenient. I only realized this recently when I had my most recent child and actually needed to use all 3 seats with car seats.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
As I was driving on the interstate, heading to get gas because I had 25 miles left (according to my car's system), my car stalled from going about 70 mph. At the exact same time, I got warnings for what seemed like every system of the car. Luckily, I was able to get on the left shoulder before I stopped moving, but if traffic was worse or if I wasn't as close to one of the shoulders, I would've been stranded in a lane (or two) of the interstate. After I took my car to the dealership, they determined I had a bad fuel pump and that it needed to be replaced. Turns out that I didn't have 25 miles left; I had 0. I emailed Honda Customer Service, mentioning a prior recall they had for fuel pumps, but it seems that didn't include mine.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving and making a sharp left turn, the steering wheel would vibrate and would make abnormal grinding sounds. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM), the steering gear, the driver's side spring, the driver's side strut and other unknown parts were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer's technical support assisted the dealer in diagnosing that the electric steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that the infotainment system would make abnormally loud beeping sounds, and the infotainment screen pad was engaging functions independently. The contact stated that the infotainment system failed to turn off upon turning off the vehicle. The dealer replaced the infotainment system; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the windshield had cracked without impact and was replaced. The contact also stated that upon opening the vehicle, the driver's seat would independently move significantly closer to the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

SUSPENSION
Honda CRV subject to NHTSA recall 23V-228. I called the dealer who confirms vehicle recall and informed me Honda has no parts available to carry out the recall. Called Honda customer service, phone agent initially said vehicle has been recalled, and I can get reimbursed for parts needed to fix it. I explained Honda dealer said no parts available. Honda CSR after a brief hold said upon further review, that my vehicle has not been recalled. I told her that contradicted her initial information, the NHTSA web site, the Honda recall web site and my conversation with the dealer. The CRV was purchased in a rust belt state and operated in a rust belt state for approximately 14 years. I explained several times to Honda CSR that this wasn't a simple broken radio recall, but a safety recall indicating that the vehicle could crash when something breaks on the rear axel when driven. Honda again said my vehicle had not been recalled.

POWER TRAIN
The front passenger side axle seal leaking transmission fluid. This leak caused a loss of transmission fluid which, if not discovered, could have caused sudden power loss and lockup of transmission. This would no doubt have caused a collision resulting in serious injury or death. I believe Honda is aware of this defect and has yet to issue a recall.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
The rear wheel on the left driver side detached from the frame while driving on the hwy and lost control. Luckily I could pull off and drive into the ditch. The frame is rusted enough that auto shop says that the repairs aren't worth it because the entire back frame is rusted and will just happen on the other side. No sounds beforehand to indicate their would be a malfunction. The control arm was detached from the rusting but other components broke from the frame rusting and wheel coming loose on the hwy. It will be inspected further.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My vehicle had the recall of the door locks completed but it has started the same problems again. Doors locking and unlocking at random while driving. Door unlocking once I have got out of the vehicle at a store and I have no idea for how long. Front and Back doors on the driver side is now making a grinding and loud popping noise when locking/unlocking the doors. The back gate tells me it is ajar but is not. The doors may or may not let you out of the car once you have arrived at your destination and placed the vehicle in park. The unlock button does not seem to help this problem. You must move the gear shifter back and forth and finally you can exit the vehicle. SAFETY ISSUE. Another recall needs to done for this issue.
