I bought honda crv 2016 on august 2016, but in october 2017, I figured out the there is corrosion on right rear caliper, and I afraid that can cause malfunction for the brake. So I went to the dealer, they said that is the poor quality of the honda crv, the corrosion is normal, and refused to do any repaired. Please see attached picture. I only use my honda crv to go to the church, supermarket that near my house, the mileage only 1097 miles when I reported this problem to the dealer, and I usually park my car in the public city street, in queens, ny.
2016 Honda CR-V brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When we were reversing the car brakes stopped responding. The car wouldn't turn off and it kept rolling backwards so we had to use the emergency brakes. We put it into drive and the car still rolled backwards and the brakes wouldn't respond.
Did not deploy in accident 2016
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda cr-v. The contact stated that when reversing out the driveway and attempting to apply the brake pedal, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. The contact had to immediately turn off the vehicle and shift the vehicle into park in order to stop the vehicle from rolling. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the vehicle was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred. The contact mentioned that the failure mostly occurred during cold weather. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 650.
My feet get tangled between the brake and gas. I had unintended acceleration due to this problem. The car idle is set at 5mph once you take your foot off the brake the car assumes you are going forward and does seek to go 5 MPH no matter your intentions. The brake and the gas are only 2.5 inches apart. When trying to brake my foot was pinned under the brake pedal and causing the car to go 5 miles per hour. I have avoided any number of untended crashes due to this problem.
I pulled into a parking lot going about 2 or 3 MPH. When I pulled into the parking space to park, I pressed on the brake pedal but the pedal didn't seem to move. It felt solid and there were no brakes. My car jumped the small curb and hit a vehicle in the adjacent parking lot. My driver side airbag deployed. The car was towed to the body shop and the body shop owner said the brake system light was on. Honda agreed to have the car towed to the dealership to have a honda certified mechanic check out the brake system. A honda representative came to the dealership to check out the brake system and said they can't replicate the problem so there is nothing they can do. They said I should drive it and monitor the brakes. With the possibility of the brakes failing again, I don't want to drive that vehicle again.
On 8/10/2016, my wife was driving the vehicle slowly on a street with a downward slope towards a crossroad. My daughter (a kid) was sitting at the back seat. When she saw the traffic light was red, she tried to stop the vehicle by pressing the brake. But the brake did not work. She felt that she was pressing a rock. She was planning to go straight across the juncture, but in order to avoid running into the red light and a potential accident, she turned the vehicle right towards the street on her right side. Then she turned off the engine, and the vehicle stopped. It was a very scary experience for my wife. Clearly the brake failed. So the next morning (8/11) we took the vehicle to our local dealer, and asked them to check the brake. After checking, they told us that they could not replicate the incident, and could not do anything. Therefore I called american honda motor co. And requested that they send somebody to check the vehicle. After a long delay, their district services manager visited the local dealer, and instructed the dealership to bleed the brake fluid. This is not the right solution to the problem. If there is air in the brake fluid, you need to bleed the brake fluid. But that's not the problem my wife experienced when the incident happened. The problem was when she pressed the brake, she felt she was pressing a rock. The brake failed at that time. So we requested american honda motor co. To replace the brake system, but they declined on the basis that they could not replicate the incident. It has been one and a half months since we took the vehicle to the local dealer. American honda motor co. Did not solve the problem, and the dealer now asked me to take the vehicle home. How can we drive the vehicle again if there is a potential risk of this incident happening again. The brake may fail again, and somebody may die.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda cr-v. While pulling into a parking spot at 3 MPH, the brake pedal depressed completely to the floorboard. The vehicle crashed into a concrete wall without warning. When the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, the brake indicator illuminated and the brake pedal depressed to the floor again. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,552. Updated 11/07/16*lj the consumer sold the vehicle back to the dealer as a trade in on another vehicle.
Driving in neighborhood at 20-25 MPH, going down small hill, vehicle suddenly accelerated to about 40 MPH. Applied brakes, with no result. Continued up gradual incline and was able to stop. After a couple of minutes, determined that brakes were again responding, continued slowly to destination (two or three blocks). Honda arranged tow to dealer. Dealer has not been able to "duplicate customer concern," and states that the vehicle is ready for us to pick up. Do not want to drive this brand new car again.
