On XXX, I had an accident where I rear-ended a vehicle stopped at an intersection, when I simultaneously pressed my brake and accelerator pedal due to a hazardous brake pedal/accelerator pedal positioning. Only one week prior I had described/argued the exact accident scenario with the service mgr of First Texas Honda Svc Ctr ([XXX]) after taking my CR-V in for brake evaluation/servicing. He said nothing’s wrong with my brake pedal. I’ve owned my car for 10 yrs and have experienced these situations numerous (<20+X) times, as one of two scenarios: In a slow stop and an emergency stop, WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT STOP AT A REASONABLE DISTANCE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. The 1st scenario involves slow braking at low speeds (<25mph) where I’m simply slowing/flowing with traffic, as was the case with the accident I’m reporting. Here, I’m using a simple toe-heel pivot to move from accelerator to cover the brake. With a steady slow pressure, the brake pedal sinks to the level of the accelerator without fully stopping the vehicle. At that point, the brake pedal sinks below the accelerator pedal, resulting in my foot pressing both the brake and accelerator simultaneously, causing my CR-V to surge forward. Of course, I can’t physically see how low the brake pedal has dipped, and I’m relying solely on the car’s response (movement) when suddenly the accelerator engages. While I take full responsibility, I believe the brake pedal is more the problem than me/my foot. In the Emergency braking episodes, the scenario begins with a quick response braking requiring steady braking pressure (not fast/abrupt); then traffic stops abruptly, requiring a hard, urgent braking to stop completely—but the already depressed brake pedal sinks to the floorboard rather than delivering a hard deceleration before the pedal bottoms out. It’s a panic moment that triggers an emergency evasive maneuver into to an adjacent lane. The CR-V’s brake pedal creates dangerous incidents.

Windshield camera and all its functions does not work. The following systems do not work. LKAS ACC CMBS LDW I drive 3 hours to work and back and not having these safety features is dangerous for me because my foot and ankle hurts to keep a consistent speed, and when I am drowsy the LKAS helps me stay in my lane. All of these warning lights are on my dash. I bought this vehicle in 2018 and the lights have been on since 2024. I am just now learning that I could report this.
On 8/14, As I was pulling away from a gas pump and into a parking space (going 5 mph or less), the automatic braking system alarms went off, and the brakes applied, causing the car to seize up completely. My foot was already on the brake and I was at least 5 feet away from the barrier at the end of the parking spot. In addition to this experience, the emergency braking alarms tend to go off in unexpected/unneeded situations, such as when I'm coasting to a red light with my foot already on the brake. And it does NOT go off in other situations where I would expect it, such as when a car stops short in front of me. These situations happen approximately once every two months or so. The automatic/emergency braking is unreliable, unpredictable and when it engages unnecessarily, could be dangerous.
On [XXX], my 2015 Honda CRV completely stopped at a traffic light on [XXX] . All warning lights came on. At the time, the vehicle had 60,000 miles. I was towed to Bill Page Honda in Annandale, Va. They could not determined the cause of the engine failure. I was then towed to Ourisman Honda of Tysons Corner where I purchased the vehicle. (Reference attached invoice dated 08/08/03) No reason could be given for the complete shut down of the engine. Note that all required maintenance work had been completed on this vehicle as scheduled. A used motor was installed. I'm filing the complaint in light of the current probe by the federal safety agency on this Honda vehicle even though the year of my vehicle is not included in the probe. I've spoken with an the federal safety agency representative on 11/18/24 (Call Ref.# 1586954) who referred me to the Federal Trade Commission asking that I make reference to my call to the federal safety agency. I left a voicemail on 11/18/24 with the Federal Trade Commission at (202)366-2222. I'm waiting for a call back.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH with the cruise control activated, she noticed traffic stopped ahead and depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was able to stop immediately; however, when the contact released the brake pedal, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated and crashed into another vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The front driver's side air bag deployed. The failure recurred when the contact released the brake pedal while the engine was revving. The contact depressed the brake pedal and shifted the transmission into park (P). The vehicle was then turned off. The contact's hands were burned as a result of the air bag deployment, but she did not receive medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard but was not yet deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.
While traveling from Mississippi to New Orleans, my AEB system randomly engaged several times without any reason.
ADAS sporadically works. It constantly turns off and on. Have taken it to dealer, codes are cleared, camera is cleaned, and am told that should fix the problem. Within 5 blocks of leaving dealership, the problem comes back. The next solution according to them is replace the camera for $1800. This is a safety issue. The safety features are unreliable. I have also researched online and there are many Honda owners reporting this same problem
My 2015 CRV suddenly had all the crash warning/adaptive cruise control/lane keep assist lights flashing…very alarming…so we brought it to White Rock Honda for to find out what was happening? They diagnosed our Multi-purpose camera is faulty. $2193 to repair…plus $197.12 yesterday to diagnose! We have done nothing to cause this substantial/expensive repair. We are shocked as we are long-time Honda owners, (3 Hondas in the past 20 years) and have never experienced anything like this. Now we are in danger all of our safety features no longer functioning. This this is a huge hardship for us at this time as I just began a gradual return to work this week after an illness. I need to safely rely on this car every day for my long commute from Surrey to Richmond. So as mentioned, this is a hardship that we had no part in causing – and we feel is entirely unfair. We have contacted Honda Customer Relations. We have forwarded the diagnostic receipt, the situation is now in mediation. -Yes, available for the federal safety agency inspection.
Check CMBS,brake System Light& brake assist lights are on when going through construction area.Happens in construction area a number of times. Dealers have to reset at no cost. The last time on July 6,2022 I was charged $94.56 to reset! Walser Honda invoice 387637.
The car has starter issues, I've replaced battery, key battery and had mechanic look at relays, starter and push button starter, couldn't fix it. Also during rain, the car has leak problem on the roof area where the indoor lights are located. I've also noticed the wiper blades don't touch the windshield. I have tried different brands and still don't have the blades touch the windshield. I drive car to work 3 days a week and been patient about it. I purchased the vehicle used and had only 17000 miles. Bought gap insurance due to it being used car. When raining it's parked when it leaks during heavy rains. It's takes 5 to 10 attempts when trying to start. I believe the car was involved in accident but not reported. I purchased it in 2018, it has some body damage but didn't question it. Had bad tires and got new ones. Lately I've notice electrical issues when attempting to start. Look at all fuses. Still no starter fixed. Is there any way to check these issues, even honda couldn't solve the starter problems.
