Gear shift knob button broken. Cheap plastic and fell off
2017 Honda CR-V acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 52, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH with the cruise control activated, the cruise control deactivated independently. The contact stated that the vehicle started decelerating with the accelerator pedal depressed. There were several unknown warning lights was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was towed back to the contact’s brother’s residence. The vehicle was diagnosed by the contact’s brother, and it was determined that the turbo charger was not working as needed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
Major driveability/safety issue. The vehicle started skipping and jerking on highway I-93 on the New Hampshire/ Massachusetts line. I was accelerating to 65 mph and merged with traffic, when the car engine began stalling intermittently. The check engine and maintenance indicator lights turned on. As I coasted to the side of the road, the vehicle continued to jerk and slow/speed up.
I was going ~60-65MPH on the Ronald Reagan freeway east bound on a rainy day at ~ 3:40pm on 27th December 2022. I was going on the second from left lane between the Rinaldi and Porter Ranch exits. Unbeknownst to me this part of the freeway is notorious for flooding in the left lanes. I applied the brakes gently to slow down my car. Suddenly, I felt I lost steering, the car skidded the steering wheel turned left into the median barrier. The car then made a complete U-turn in the direction of traffic and flipped over one complete revolution. Fortunately, nobody was injured in the crash and other cars were not involved. There were no warnings and indication that the car was hydroplaning. The skidding safety feature was turned on. I released the car to the insurance company to recover monetary loss and I don't have any information on if it was inspected. CHP has an accident report with number 9580. The reason I am reporting this incident is because, I believe me gently braking to slow down from 60-65 to 50-55MPH should not have caused the car to U-turn and flip. I believe the 2017 Honda CRV safety system malfunctioned because unbeknownst to the Honda Sensing system the car was already hydroplaning. It braked and made some automatic steering and braking decisions that caused the car to turn and flip. I believe the control algorithm of the 2017 Honda CRV failed to detect the car was hydroplaning and subsequently executed steering and braking decisions that caused the total loss of my car.
During a recent vacation my husband and I were on 95N just outside Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. My husband attempted to change lanes into the passing lane. As he depressed the gas pedal and turned into the lane, our Honda stalled and would not respond to any demand for acceleration. By the time we realized what was happening we'd gone from 65 miles per hour to about 30 miles per hour in a heavy flow of traffic, with oncoming traffic decelerating quickly and coming dangerously close upon the rear of our vehicle. There happened to be repairs to the left of our lane, with associated traffic cones so no cars were in that lane, and we were able to drift into that lane and restart our car. This happened once before on a very slow travel lane in my neighborhood and I didn't connect that the car had stalled. In retrospect this is the second occurrence. While I will certainly be taking the car for service at the Honda dealer, I also researched and found out that Honda is aware of this issue and does not deem it a safety issue, thus not using any sort of safety recall. My experience was harrowing, and certainly could have resulted in our own impact and indeed a larger impact on 95N after our stall. This was no joke and luckily my husband did not panic and we were able to respond and drift to safety. If that lane to our left had not been closed, no way could we have made it to the right side of the highway to the "slow" side of the road.
While in adaptive cruse control and traveling at highway speeds of 70 mph, I attempted to pass a slower moving semi tractor and trailer. Just as I was about to complete the pass, with traffic building up behind me, the system went to automatic braking, as if there were traffic in front of me. There was absolutely no traffic in front of me for at least a mile. This occurred on a bright sunny day on a straight stretch of road. I was able to apply excessive pressure to the gas pedal and slowly able to get the car up to highway speed again without getting rear ended. This has happened on three occasions, always with passing a tractor trailer. I have taken it to the dealer and they say they can find no problem. In addition, more times than I can count, I have had the car alert me and apply the breaks when there are no cars in front of me or beside me during normal driving (no cruse control). Lastly, almost without fail, if I am traveling at highway speeds using adaptive cruse control and the car in front of me takes an exit, my car will almost always break, even though the car that was in front of me is now clearly off on the exit. These sudden slowdowns when the traffic behind me is expecting me to maintain speed or speed up is a real hazard for getting rear ended or having someone get hostile towards me with their driving. Again, the dealer has been notified many times and indicates that they can find no problem. I have now turned off ALL the automatic driving features to avoid these issues, but the second issue still remains and I am out over $3,000 for a group of electronic components in my car that I can not use due to safety issues. Issue started with the car when brand new and continues to this day.
Recently my 2017 Honda CRV started flashing these 3 warning 1. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 2. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem 3. Collision Mitigation System Problem. But once in quarter these warnings flash but after engine power off/On warning message goes away. Last week when I was driving on the Interstate Highway, All of sudden this warning flashed, after a while I stopped at a service station. Off/ On the engine but all of the 3 warnings didn't go off. From a safety point of view Cruise/Collision Mitigation/Collision Mitigation Control is very important on Highway. At-least these features prevent and keep you alert while changing lanes, apply proper braking system on the highway from safety measure. The vehicle has not been driven more than 42k miles in the last 4 years. Although the 3 year 36 miles standard warranty is already passed. Today when I went to the service center after diagnosticians they mentioned that the Cruise control sensor has failed due to these issues. Due to pandemic the supply chain is impacted and part is not available. So I ordered the part to the service center. The BRAKE SYSTEM light is also on. Similar issue occurred sometime in 2018 after purchase of the new car in 2017. Initially I informed this issue to the service center. Case no was open with Honda - Case # 06624477. But the issue was not able to be replicated, the service center people told me that the software is updated and that it is not going to flash again. Looks like these new generation cars start creating problems once it completes its life cycle of 3 years and 36k miles warranty period. At least going for a new car was for peace of mind, but looks like this went the other way for me. Last 6 month back I had to get repaired the complete Air conditioner unit, service center people mentioned that AC hose pipe has leakage.
My vehicle is a 2017 honda cr-v touring with an automatic transmission. Today while backing out of a parking place in a store parking lot, I pushed in on the gear shift button and moved the shift lever into reverse. When I removed my thumb from the gear shift button, the button had clearly broken on the inside of the gear shift lever, as when I removed my thumb, the gear shift button button ejected from the gear shift lever (it is spring loaded). This left me blocking traffic after having backed out. I was able to shift the car into drive, by simply pulling down on the gear shifter. However once the car was in drive, it could no longer be shifted into park or reverse without the gear shift button (which was now on the floor at my feet on the drivers side) thankfully I was able to pull over, put the car in neutral and engage the parking brake so I could find the gear shift button on the floor. This allowed me to drive the vehicle (keeping one hand on the shifter to avoid the button ejecting again) however a less experienced driver may become flustered, and loose attention causing an accident. I was fortunate the other drivers around me were patient and not approaching quickly. All drivers will be expecting this button to function properly, and it is disconcerting that a vehicle that is only three years and three months old would have such a failure. After researching the part on line, I have found numerous other folks reporting this part failing, and almost all from the 2017 model year. Being unable to shift a vehicle is a major flaw, and this part should be addressed.
I could've not coax my car over 20 MPH it was scary since a speeding car was behind me
While driving normally with no traffic or obstacles in front, all honda sensing suite features randomly fail and trigger a series of warning messages flashing sequentially on the hud indicating a problem with the following: lkas, collision mitigation, braking, adaptive cruise control, and road departure mitigation systems. The brake pedal becomes stiff and brakes feel unresponsive but sometimes engage to stop the car even if stopping is unsafe, such as driving on a highway with no cars in front. This happens randomly in different environments at different speeds. Rain, sun, hills, traffic, no traffic, but it is difficult to replicate the issue. The sensors trigger a false positive thinking there is an imminent collision even if driving 35 MPH on an empty road. It also triggers when following a car with warning tones and automatic braking. The car feels like it is rebooting itself in the middle of a false but self-induced crisis. I have narrowly avoided collisions because the car took over control when not needed, only to turn off all safety features and warn that there is a problem with the braking system. The dealership service department claimed it was a low battery, but replacing with a new battery does not resolve the issues. The service department then tried to claim driver error after deleting trouble codes, with no explanation how "driver error" can cause the same error messages to display on the hud as all of the plaintiffs of a class-action lawsuit say the same thing.
I have a 2017 honda crv. This is the second time I had the same issue. All my warning light electric parking brake problem, charging system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, hill start assist problem. Are back on. When this happens for the first time dealership tole me their was an update to the system which will fix the issue. Month later I am having the same issue.
Cruise control, stopped working while on a(interstate) road trip. Despite stopping and restarting the car. Later I stopped at a gas station and it worked for a mile or so after restarting then stopped working again.
Shift knob button broke in half as I was placing my cr-v 2017 in park. Broken piece completely fell out. Unable to shift gears. Needed to use a screwdriver to depress the gear mechanism and shift into park.
At exactly two years old, the battery died. There is a service bulletin for a software update but of course, my vehicle didn't need update, it needed a new battery due to dead cell that happened within six hours. The top sides of the body has ripples down both sides. Was told this is usually cause by roof rack (I don't have roof rack) or by car wash (my car has never been through a car wash. I won't even let dealer wash it when I'm there). The car brakes hard even when there is no obstruction in front of me. The cruise, lane assist, mitigation will all shut off at various times saying radar is off/blocked. On 10/08/19 while driving, the lcd screen started beeping, flashing and going black. Nothing would work. Car is becoming dangerous to be on roadway. Filed complaint with honda on a couple issues. Sorry for my luck, it's now out of warranty due to mileage.
2x in 3 months while driving we have had the following error messages: 1) adaptive cruise control (acc) problem. 2) road departure mitigation system problem 3) collision mitigation system problem 4) brake system problem
Collision avoidance system stopped car from 25 MPH on straight level road with nothing in front of vehicle. Occurred one time. Amber brake warning light illuminated on a few occasions while riding on straight level road with nothing in front of vehicle. All these occurrences happened during good, dry weather. Adaptive cruise control intermittently keeps speed at 1-2 MPH below set speed on interstate with nothing in front of vehicle on straight level road in good weather. Vehicle taken to dealer and was told the systems are normal. Dealer also told me that these systems are connected and if one component fails, all will fail.
Driving on highway at 70 miles per hour in beautiful 80 degree weather day on an august afternoon - no rain, no obstructions - when all of a sudden the dashboard lights up with warnings on the adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation system, brake failure, lane assist system - everything flashing and beeping. I immediately turn all the assist systems off but things still lite up and warning. When I am safely able to get off the highway to stop and turn car off and turn it back on all the warnings go away and appear to be fine. Sensors are clean and clear of obstructions. This is not the first time this has happened. Very scary! I keep the car clean and the sensors clean and unobstructed. Less than 25,000 miles on this car and it has had issues of not starting and dashboard flashing numerous times. Dealership actually toured it in on one occasion when it wouldn't start. Couldn't find anything and had us pick it up. Next morning would not start again. They finally replaced the battery. This was supposed to be a safe, reliable car and now I am afraid to drive it any distance with fear of failures.
Driving on highway straight ahead, day time, good weather. Failure warning lights for, cruise control lane departure,collision mitigation, braking system, pass seat air bag brakes, all came on. This is 6th time this has occurred. Most lights reset after car was restarted pass seat air bag light only reset after another hour and another restart of vehicle
I was traveling at a slow speed and stopped to let a vehicle pass on a narrow side street and then pulled over to let another vehicle pass. When I pulled over the car accelerated and could not be stopped with the brakes. I was able to yank the car our of gear leaving the engine racing and then just as quickly it slowed to an idle.
I was driving my honda cr-v (2017 model ex awd) on a highway at 40 to 50 MPH speed. It was raining at that time. I experienced big jerks couple of times and lost the control on the vehicle. Saw error message on the dash board saying 'lost traction and cancelling cruise control'. It was horrific experience.
While driving on the highway at 65mph the silver button on the gear shift spontaneously broke off the handle used to shift between park, neutral and drive. No one was touching the shifter at that time. This was a very distracting event -- I suddenly saw the broken button. Trying to figure out what was "going on" distracted me from looking at the road, with the associated risk of loosing "situational awareness". I was fortunate in that I rapidly refocused on the road and no accident occurred. The person in the front-passenger seat figured out what had happened. I talked to 2 dealers and they indicated that they have seen this with several other crvs. Based on my experience and the dealer feedback, this is not an isolated incident. This is a manufacturer defect that impacts multiple cars; the distraction created when it happens on the highway can result in someone getting into a potentially fatal accident if this defect is not proactively addressed. I reported it to honda america. They told me that they will report it to honda, but made no commitment to addressing it or getting back to me on their decision. A proactive recall and repair of the problem needs to happen before someone gets hurt.
On multiple occasions, while the vehicle is in motion, the system has made an alert sound and the instrument panel has provided the following notifications: "break system" indicator is lit; collision mitigation system problem; road departure mitigation system problem; and today (3/28/2019) while the cruise control was engaged, it also displayed adaptive cruise control problem. It shuts down these systems and the car drives with a slight "drag" to its movement. The only way to correct this issue is to pull over, turn the car off, wait, and then restart. The system checks itself and resets. This is unpredictable, cannot be specifically initiated, and therefore is difficult to take for repair when there is no indication at the time of the vehicle being in need of repair. There is clearly something wrong with the software, the computer, or an electrical connection. I am the original owner, vehicle was purchased in october 2017.
Driving on a highway, 65 MPH, with acc cruise control on. Suddenly it deactivated. Warning light for acc/ road departure mitigation/ collision mitigation and brake system problems warning indicators came on. Brake system warning was particularly stressful. I tried brakes and they seemed normal but acc definitely did not work. Tried multiple times to turn off system and turn it back on to no avail. Windshield was clean as was front sensor area. As I was on a highway I couldn't stop. An hour latter, while still on the road warning lights went off and all systems were available. Dealer was unable to determine what had happened. Now a month later same happened again and system recovered in about an hour while still driving. Lane keeping assist system was still working while the other systems went out so the camera was still functioning. Car seemed to function normally while these systems were out. As a former mechanic,police driving instructor and crash reconstructionist I know that this can not be caused by "low gas" or "gas in the oil". This is an electronics problem. I have also had the tire monitoring system malfunction three times.
The honda sensing that control the automatic braking is defective. The vehicle does automatic braking without any obstacles in view.the first incident vehicle traveling at 70 MPH on the freeway and vehicle applied the brakes almost causing multi car collisions. The second incident at 40 MPH. Dealer refused to fix. Urgent attention needed. Class action lawsuits pending across the states.
Amber caution annunciation for acc, cms, rwds and lkas with steady brake system amber indicator while driving on a two-lane highway at highway speeds. Pulled onto shoulder of highway, shut off ignition and restarted, clearing the cautions.
During normal shifting of the automatic transmission lever, the push button release on the shifting knob broke in two. The unit was under slight spring tension and popped out after splitting in two. The car was stuck in drive and I was unable to control the transmission. This happened while the vehicle was parked. Upon a quick internet search and after discussions with a factor maintenance representative, it appears this has been a common problem.
While approaching and crossing over a railroad crossing at approximately 30mph on a city street, the word brake flashed a couple times and my car completely stopped, so hard as if I slammed my brakes on and my purse flew off the front passenger seat and I was jolted forward, my seatbelt tightened. The same thing has happened one time since then. I'm not sure if this is a braking problem or front camera sensory problem but it was very confusing and scary.
While driving vehicle in the city, check engine light flashes on and off. Vehicle loses power and will not accelerate, creating serious safety issue. Dealer confirmed engine oil dipstick had unusally strong smell of gasoline. Vehcile has been serviced once by honda dealer. I was assured that all necessary fixes were made. Same issue happened again. Returned vehicle to honda dealer for additional service.
Acc and lkas warning lights illuminated. Took to dealership, they washed the car and said the problem was leaves blocking sensor. Next time I started the car, got steady chime from dash telling me there was an acc problem. Consistent issue. There were no accidents, damages and it was a clear, bright day in both cases.
A situation in which the dashboard lights show multiple system failures including failures of the rdm, cruise control, brakes and cmbs. This has happened twice, including a second time immediately after the dealer "fixed" the problem. The car has beed stopped but idling in both situation. I drove immediately to the dealership the first time and did not even leave the dealership the second time. An indication of a "brake system failure" is disconcerting even though there seems to be no affect on vehicle performance, other than these safety features being rendered inoperable.
