| May 2023 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES | I was pulling up to the Subway sandwich shop to pick up my lunch. I was approaching from their back ally (coming from Walgreens next door) so I could not have been going faster than a few miles per hour. As I approached the parking space the car started speeding up so I turned right to keep from going through the building and drove in circles to keep from hitting the buildings. I could not go onto the street because traffic was heavy. I kept pumping the brakes and the car did not stop until I hit a parked car and pushed that car into another car. All airbags deployed. My 16 year old grandson and I were injured, but no individuals were in the parked cars. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 2 Towed Medical attention | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | SEATS | Seat back collapsed backwards on to the back seat after rear impact accident. Driver slid out under the fastened seatbelt and landed in center of backseat with both feet tangled in the seatbelt. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I was pulling into a parking place and the had a sudden unintended acceleration. I was not applying pressure to the gas pedal and was easing into the parking spot. When I applied pressure to the brakes, they were extremely hard to push like they were locked up. The car jumped the concrete barrier, took out a pole fence and jumped a sidewalk the fence stopped it short of hitting thee building. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The Automatic Emergency Braking abruptly stopped while traveling 50 mph without any obstructions in front of me almost causing a rear end collision from the car behind me. In addition the stop caused minor whiplash. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | On highway this Honda CR-V was hit by another vehicle 2013 doge at right rear side. Other car was sliding on the road , crossing the lanes and hitting the CR-V. Side airbags were deployed immediately during primary collision. CR-V didn’t stop after that. It turned left from right most lane and hit the median heavily. Lane keeping assistance, frontal collision system, automatic emergency braking did not work properly. It hit the median and all front airbags were deployed. Honda should improve the safety features when it was hit by other car in rear, Honda CR-V should not twist and turn left & make secondary collision. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | On 2/11/23, after having my car less than a month and having fewer than 1000 miles on it, I got a critical warning light that told me to stop driving as soon as possible because my 12 volt battery wasn’t charging and my vehicle was not safe to drive. My car had to be towed to the dealership and the power control unit needs to be replaced. I had no clues that I was going to get this warning so it came as a total shock to me that my car was no longer drivable. Luckily I was in a location where I was able to stop driving very quickly and was not on the highway. I was told this part is like the alternator on a non-hybrid car, so like it’s brain. Had I been in a place where it wasn’t safe to pull over, my car could have stopped abruptly causing a major accident. The vehicle has been inspected at the dealership and a part has been ordered. The earliest it may arrive is 3/14/23. This means my car will be at the dealership for more than 30 days. I thought this would qualify my car as a lemon under the lemon law but the dealer is telling me this is not the case because they have ordered the part and it is back ordered. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2023 | BACK OVER PREVENTION | System does not alert until a vehicle is directly behind our vehicle or does not alert at all. Vehicle was purchased 3 days ago. The front assist does not work or will work after you pull too far forward and already tapped the curb. We stood in front of and side of vehicle and alarm did not sound at all. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2022 | SEATS | The back two bolts in the driver seat were never installed at the factory, thus the back of the seat is not attached to the car. The dealership did not notice on the PDI. I drive it for a month before I noticed it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
