|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving at about 40-45 MPH on a clear road - nothing in front of me, nothing in back. Suddenly the car, on its own, deployed the breaks very hard. It happened without warning. If there had been a car in back of me there would have been no time for that car to stop. My head whipped forward and back. The airbag was not deployed. I was not injured but very shaken up. I want to repeat that there was nothing in front of me that the breaks would need to be deployed. This could have been a life-threatening disaster. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2022 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while his wife was reversing, she heard a loud noise and notice that all 4 driveshaft bolts had detached from the vehicle. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home safely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the front section of the driveshaft was not properly tightened. The bolts were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 5,123.v | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,123 |
| Aug 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,EQUIPMENT | Brakes are applied at a slow and fast speed for no reason. Also the touch screen turns off or loses view while driving and car is sluggish when you excelerate the gas peddle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | The car started sounding an alarm and flashing an idiotic warning message that says "Adaptive Cruise Control Problem". Yes it said "problem." It also flashed a message that said "BRAKE SYSTEM." I called the dealer and they instructed me how to turn off Adaptive Cruise Control, and it did NOT stop the alarm and the flashing messages. They told me it was ok to drive and to bring it in to the dealer. I did that. Had to get ride so I could leave the car. The alarm stopped on the way to the dealer. The next day they told me they could not find what was wrong with the car, but it was ok to drive, and it if happened again, take a video. If they didn't know what was wrong with the car, HOW DID THEY KNOW IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE? I picked up the car and a couple days later it did the same thing. Even turning the car off and cranking it back up would not make it stop. I did stop and take videos of the flashing messages, which are attached here, and also sent them to the dealer. I took the car in and they said they got the videos, and they would now be able to fix it. The next day they said come pick it up, but said they THOUGHT it needed the front radar/camera replaced but they did not have one. They said it would be July before they could get the part. But they continued to say it is safe to drive. Since then, it had done this several more times, and I took videos again. Those are attached as well. They called today and said it would be August before they could get the parts. I strongly suspect that they do not actually know what it wrong, and that they have not done any actual microelectronic or software troubleshooting, and they are just guessing that this part will fix it. I am now forced to drive a car that is questionably safe. I mean, when an alarm sounds and a warning light flashes that says "BRAKE SYSTEM" how can it be safe to drive? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2022 | POWER TRAIN | I purchased a new Honda CR-V EXL AWD in Jan 2022 and it has only 1971 miles. Now, the transmission is completely dead with these miles. The dealership informed me that this requires a new transmission which is covered under Honda warranty. The strange thing is that I didn't receive any warning or notification in my dashboard that transmission is getting bad/worse. Luckily, the car was stopped on a residential county road but I can't imagine if the power is getting dropped and stopped on the freeway without any warning. This is one of the biggest safety concerns and this would be a life threatening incident. I have already owned a Honda civic in the past and never had any issue, but I was highly disappointed with this incident and lost confidence with Honda. Please refund my money back :-( What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request ? Ans: Transmission failed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Ans: The transmission failed without any warning and the vehicle stopped completely on the road, which is a life threatening issue, if that happens on the freeway/highways. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Ans: UNKNOWN Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Ans: This is a brand new vehicle which was bought in Jan 2022 and has 1971 miles on it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Ans: No warning or indications. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2022 | SEAT BELTS | When buckling my 3 kids in this newly purchased car I noticed the middle seat belt latch and the driver side passenger latches are flipped which results in seatbelts crisscrossing when both buckled. This means this supposedly “5 seater” car cannot safely buckle each seat making it a 4 seater car. Problem can be fixed if the belt buckles are flipped around. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2022 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer stated that the front camera radar needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the part would be available in two weeks. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,000 |
| Jun 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Intermittantly I receive a message on my car stating there is a problem with the CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) It comes and goes. I am afraid that it will brake when it shouldn't and cause an accident. I took it to the dealership last week on 06/02/2022 and they said there is a problem with the radar/camera system and ordered replacement parts. There are flashing it lights that come on the instrument panel and flash so fast you cannot read them and then a message popped up on my radio screen saying there is an issue with CMBS. I have a video and pictures showing this. Dealership said it is safe to drive until parts are recieved. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | This car, along with 3 others in my neighborhood were stolen on the same night. Why was it so easy for the thieves to steal these cars? There is a security issue that must be addressed asap. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,STRUCTURE,EQUIPMENT | I just bought (last month) a new, 2022 Honda CR-V-EX-L. I have always been a Honda girl, and decided it was time for a new car and bought another Honda…..my 3rd CR-V (I also had a pilot). Anyways, I just bought this car last month. It is a beautiful car, but I feel it’s dangerous for two reasons. The biggest concern is that the hood was redesigned from previous models that I had, and now the sides of the hood protrudes higher than the rest of the hood, making it quite difficult to see over the hood, particularly going around turns and up hills. Which is a huge safety issue. And you may be thinking, why don’t I just lift the seat……well the seat is as high as it goes (a definite flaw), so that is of no help. Secondly, the audio system is definitely a hazard. The touch screen does not always work, and you may have to push on the screen several times before getting it to work, thus distracting the driver. Additionally, when talking to people on Bluetooth and one party hangs up, the phone does not go back to the radio automatically, and you have to keep touching the touchscreen to get you back to what you were on prior to the call. Definitely another safety issue. That being said, I am mostly worried about the hood issue. I do not feel safe continuing to drive my brand new Honda, which is really sad, since I buy Honda's because of their safety ratings. If this is an issue for me, I am sure this an issue for others, and likely has already contributed to accidents.

| Mar 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | There were no cars in front of mine when the ABS system suddenly braked very hard. The car behind me had to slam on brakes to avoid rear ending me. This car is 3 weeks old and this is very scary. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2022 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The heating system on the vehicle is insufficient. The cabin does not warm up when idling in the winter. Defrosting on cold days becomes an issue which creates a potential hazard for visibility. The red bar on the temperature guage will not appear when idling and the temperature rises and the red bar appears only after the car has been driven. Searching online on this issue indicates this is an issue where many CRV owners have had this weak heating system issue. I contacted the dealer and they said "Yes we are aware of that. And that's the way it is and nothing can be done about it." So there appears to be no intent by Honda to address this weak heating system issue which is a big problem in winter weather. Thus my filing this complaint. Honda should perform a recall and correct this problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I have a 2022 Honda CRV EX, the emergency braking system activates at random times and could cause a wreck. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
