The rear brake pads and rotor on the passenger rear tire were destroyed in less than 2,000 miles and replaced with new parts twice from different manufacturers. A third set of rotor and brake pads and a caliper was installed and they failed within 2 weeks. The car has less than 78,000 miles on it and I have been the only owner. The honda dealership replaced the rear driver side caliper, pads, and rotor at 35,000 miles for a similar problem.

The ABS module stopped functioning for brakes and airbags. The dealership currently has the car and does not know why it malfunctioned. Their explanation is that the ABS module went bad and it is not drivable because the brakes might lock and possibly set off the airbags. I am concerned this may effect other vehicles as it is a costly fix. The bill is currently $2,400 and they are unsure if that will fix the problem, or if it will cost more money to figure out the issue.

I own a 2013 honda cr-v was very happy with my car until my recent flat tire. Does anyone know that the TPMS (low tire sensor) is connected to the brakes? Me neither. Recently I had flat tire and had the spare put on until I could get it replaced. Only a couple of days to the weekend to wait, so I didn't have to take time off of work. Had the tire fixed and all was good; TPMS warning light off. Well, that's what I thought. About three days later my brakes started failing as I was driving. There was a loud noise and jerking of the car when I pressed the brakes. I slowed to about 15-20mph and it stabilized the car. I slowed down to a crawl and happened to be a couple of blocks from a dealer which is on my way to work. Got the car there without incident and told them what happened. The result after their inspection and fixing my car was: faulty TPMS sensor. According to the dealer, the TPMS sensor failed which caused my brakes to go out...what, the TPMS sensor is connected to my breaks. So. What your telling me, mr. Dealer, is that if one of four TPMS sensors goes out, the brakes on my car will fail. What the hell honda. This is a safety issue as far as I'm concerned. No only did my brakes fail because of the TPMS but the dealer charged me $500 to replace this sensor which runs on a battery and is likely to happen at any time x4, because I have four tires.

While coming home into my driveway as I came up the driveway I was stopping by a the front door the car suddenly lurched forward just before I came to a full stop,and hit garage door, which shook me up as my foot was on the brake pedal, I had pushed the pedal hard but still the car moved forward, afterwards we moved the car back and you can see where the front tires are spinning forward and the rear tires are locked up sliding forward showing that indeed my foot was pressing hard on the brake pedal, called my local dealer and had the car towed to them, they have not been able to find anything wrong with the car. As it is now,I am afraid to drive it because if it happens again and I am at a traffic light or parking lot something worse could happen or get injured. We took pictures of the car, garage door and all the tire marks, will try to send these to you.

Pulled into driveway and was a couple of feet away from the garage door, going only one or two MPH,put foot on brake to stop and suddenly the car lurch forward,press as hard as I could on brake pedal,but car kept moving forward till it hit garage door,then everything stopped. You can see by the marks on the driveway that the front tires were spinning forward while the rear tires were locked ( because I had hard pressure on the brake pedal) and slid a few feet, we have taken pictures of the car and driveway and will try to send to you. I am fearful of driving this car because if it happens again while at a traffic light or parking lot or similar, it could be life threatening

Pressing on the brakes in slippery conditions like snow causes the antilock brakes to lock up and the car to skid. This happens at all speeds- even as low as 15mph.

I own a honda cr-v 2013 awd with 60,000 miles. I'm the second owner. I purchased the car from carmax in 2016 with 27,000 miles. After several months of owning the vehicle one morning I hear this loud grinding noise lasting a few seconds after initial start up of vehicle when stationary. This sound has continued on and off at all different times of the day.
