The safety feature reacts to shadows on the road. This has happened 3-4 times where if I'm driving under a bridge the car will beep and show a message asking me to hit the brakes. I think the car sees the shadow of the bridge on the road in front of me as an object and is asking me to stop/ hit the brakes. If the car ever applies automatic braking, then the car behind me can slam into me causing an accident.
2017 Honda CR-V driver assistance complaints
Page 11 of 13: complaints 281 to 310 of 349, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Computer failure resulting in multiple error message's and warning lights. Loss of antilock brakes, electric parking brakes, automatic collision brakes, adaptive cruise control, lane departure mitigation, hill assist, vehicle stability assist problem, power steering problem. Took vehicle to honda dealer, they claimed software issue and did an upgrade. Problem is back. I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery. A few days later problem returns. Does not matter if you are driving or parked. It has failed while driving and while parked with engine running. Error requires a computer reset to clear it. Problem first occurred over a year ago and continues to this day..
1. Vehicle inappropriately braked to a full stop for no apparent reason. Vehicle moving at slow speed both times. Occurred in july 2019 and jan 2021 informed dealer both times. Vehicle inspected after the first time and indicated system is working as designed. No accident occurred but alarming that an accident could have easily happened if there was a car behind us. 2. No longer using cruise control because car inappropriately brakes. The car has slowed down enough where we had to press the gas to avoid a collision on the highway. The braking occurred when there was more than enough distance between our vehicle and the vehicle in front. We did not notify the dealer or this issue because we assumed it was a design issue and could not be fixed by a technician. 3. On the highway, passing certain exits triggers the lane departure warning, forcing the car to brake. We have to press on the gas in order to drive safely through the trouble spots to avoid being rear ended. We have gotten to know certain exits because there is a concern that this could happen unexpectedly as we drive new roads. We verbally communicated this to honda corporate and the dealer in jan 2021, and the response was that this is expected behavior and to see the manual for limitations of the system. I did receive confirmation that others have reported this concern as well. The safety features have triggered enough false positives for us that we no longer drive this car with the family and only when needed. Since we have observed other reports noting the exact same issues, we are assuming that there is a trend and others share the same safety concerns.
The car inappropriately braked, full stop, two times. The last event occurred on jan 9, 2021. We reported both incidents to the dealer. The car was inspected after the first incident in july 2019, and the technician could not replicate. We were informed the car is working as designed. The second discussion with the dealer (jan 11, 2021) resulted in the recommendation of adjusting the sensor length under customize features. It was described as a possible improvement but not a guarantee to fix the problem. We will make the adjustment tonight. Both occasions, the stop occurred while driving straight at slow speeds with nothing in front of the vehicle, and luckily no one behind. It was alarming that a safety feature could cause an accident. Honda corporate's response was that the system is working as designed and see the manual for the limitations. We no longer use the car for the family.
My car was sitting on driveway and when I start my car all of the sudden it start giving me break system error problem. So my car automatically applied electronic parking brake and now it's not releasing at all . Also delar told me it happened because of brake actuator malfunction. Also, when I am driving some time it applied emergency brake itself if there is nothing in front of car. And there are many other honda cr-v 2017 mode that have same problem or similar problem. And vehicle is now out of warranty so dealership want to charge for parts and labor.
I was driving down a city street soon after a stop sign so maybe going less than 10-15 MPH. All of a sudden with nothing in front of the car the automatic braking system slammed the car to a complete stop. Luckily there was no one behind me or there may have been an accident.
Battery will be dead if car not used every 2 days. 4 times I have had the dealer replace my battery and 1 time myself. Dealer refuses to solve the problem. A vehicle''s battery should not go dead after only 4 days of use.
The driver safety assistance system displays a series of failure notifications on the dashboard display. Includes but not limited to lane drift, rear collision alert, parking brake, cruise control and numerous others. This has happened several times while in motion or when parked. Pohanka honda has attempted to fix this problem 3 times in the last 6 months. Once 3 weeks ago and the last effort was 12 hours ago. Car is still not fixed. An internet search shows this being a known problem that honda has not been able to fix. I have receipts for all repairs but unable to upload.*dt

Battery died overnight, took vehicle to different dealerships, replaced battery.. Nothing help ! Technician cannot figure out why.. This is my second vehicle bought from honda , this time I'm really disappointed..
We have a 2017 honda cr-v. On april 29, 2020, I was driving straight on a city street going about 20-25 miles per hour. There were no other vehicles or any other obstacle in front of my car. Without warning, and on its own, the car's orange brake warning light came on and the car was brought to a hard stop in the middle of the road. The items on the back seat were thrown to the floor and we were thrown forward in our seats in the front enough that the seat belts engaged. This was instant and then immediately the car resumed to normal operation. We notified the dealer and they indicated that they had not head of this happening before and that honda did not have any recall for this yet. This was a frightening experience - fortunately no one was behind us, but suppose there had been or we had been on the highway with more traffic and large trucks.
1. Numerous people including myself have been affected by this car draining a brand new battery and leaving people stranded and needing a jumpstart. My car is currently at the dealership again to have this issue looked at, last time they told me I needed a new battery, now they can't give me that same reason since my battery is brand new. 2. My instrument panel wouldn't dim making it extremely bright at night and difficult to see the road. Honda had to replace the entire system. 3. My car randomly flashes a collision warning "brake" while beeping so loudly when there's actually nothing in front of me whether I'm on the freeway or side streets and this I believe is the most dangerous problem of all since my car has the ability to brake for me if it senses a collision, and my car braking abruptly for no reason could be what gets me into an accident!
We were traveling during daylight hours, tuesday, 4/28/2020, . Our speed was 35 MPH. Our honda crv suddenly came to an abrupt stop, the brake warning light came on in the dash and the steering wheel locked up. There was absolutely no traffic or obstacles of any type in our path to cause this. There is some type of faulty sensor causing this and it needs to repaired/replaced. The dealership denies that a problem exists. It is a common problem with crv's, 2017 & 2018 models..
All electrical system show error
My car radio/map console was going crazy for a month. Hard to duplicate problem. By turning off the engine and back on problem went away. Until 9/21/2018, that problem transferred to on steering wheel master console where every alert went off from engine, tire, ..., brake--really scared. Took car immediately to my nearest honda dealer for repair and found they had to replace my vtc. In doing so, problem went away. Now it march 2020, some days my audio/map console goes crazy. Not sure when my steering console will go crazy again. I do not have any pictures or vidoa but if you google it others have similar problem.
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.
On 1/8/20 when I started my car in the morning all warning lights came on before leaving the driveway, and stayed on all the way to work, and back. Then again the following morning. I called honda on 1/9/20, they advised to come in sooner than later. Car is at honda now 1/10/20, they are stating all codes may be due to two codes that need to be fixed: p0302 (fuel injection), which is covered under warranty and u0129 lost communication with braking system due to A/C control unit - which will cost me $1630 for a car with only 60,000 miles on it! Of note: the car's emergency brake while driving has triggered a couple of times, and all warning lights have come on before in heavy rain.
Multiple times while driving warning indicators on the instrument panel begin to flash (road departure mitigation system, lane keep assist system, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking system and brake system light). When this happens, these systems no longer function. This has happened at high and low speed with adaptive cruise control on and off, on highways and freeways. Each time, I find a place to stop, turn the vehicle off, and back on again and the systems are fine. This has happened 5 times, the first being within 2 months of purchasing the vehicle new and the last being yesterday (2 1/2 years after purchasing the vehicle) I have taken it to the dealer several times, but they say they cannot replicate the issue and find no error codes so nothing can be done. Documentation has been given to the dealer on each visit. This definitely seems to be a safety issue to me. I have had multiple other electronic issues as well which I will address in another complaint.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While driving various speeds, the automatic brake system engaged and all the warning indicators illuminated. Also, the instrument panel lighting would become very bright and then very dark, and the headlights were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to germain of ann arbor (2575 s state st, ann arbor, mi 48104, (855) 223-0067) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed a software update. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred intermittently. The contact referenced the federal safety agency id number: 10163184 and manufacturer communication number: a19-066. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 10080473. The manufacturer informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 40,500. The VIN was unknown.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the rear hatch would not open and the engine was difficult to start. Later, while driving approximately 70 MPH, the forward collision avoidance system erroneously activated and caused the vehicle to abruptly stop. The vehicle was taken to flow honda of burlington (2920 s. Church st, burlington, nc) where it was diagnosed that the battery was faulty and the automatic braking system required an update. The battery was replaced and the update was performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,135.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While driving 25 MPH over road construction/plates, the automatic braking system engaged and a beeping noise was heard. The contact called jay honda (175 broadway ave, bedford, oh 44146, (440) 926-6202) and was informed of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000. *ln consumer stated I want to submit the video attached (it was too large to send so I had to put it on google documents. Let me know if you get the item I was not sure about sharing videos. I believe this is a serious issue for many honda and I believe this occurs when you go over metal plates on the road. This is very concerning to me, luckily I was going on a slow road and not down a fast highway. Video link attached
All warning systems for safety features lit up for no reason. Vehicle lost 80% of power and could barely get it home.
Every indicator light came on and flashed on my dashboard when I was driving, as well as a cruise control malfunction when I was driving on the highway, causing the system to shut off cruise control. The indicator lights that flash on the dashboard when this error occurs are as follows: brake system problem all wheel drive system problem tire pressure monitor problem electric parking brake problem road departure mitigation system problem collision mitigation system problem lane keeping assist problem adaptive cruise control problem hill start assist problem vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem anti-lock brake system problem power steering system (eps) problem I have had these lights go off multiple times in different contexts. The first time I was in a parking lot and turned on my car and all indicator lights came on, the second time this happened when I was driving on the road, the third time I was parking my vehicle and then the indicator lights came on. I have brought my car to my honda dealer three different times with no solution. Each time, eventually the indicator lights go off, usually after starting and restarting the car or rebooting the computer causes them to turn off.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While driving 25 MPH, the collision mitigation system activated independently. The contact stated that the activation was due to a metal plate on the roadway, which caused the vehicle to stop abruptly. The contact stated that the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.
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.
This morning as I was driving I went through a 4-way intersection. I was half way through the intersection when my car announced lane departure. At that time the vehicle shot over to the right and hit the curb at the end of the intersection. I shredded my tire, and had to place the spare on the vehicle. I have been to honda multiple times for these electrical problems. While driving I have been go at a speed around 45-70 MPH, and the vehicle will flash brake. At that time the vehicle's brakes will lock up. There was no one in front of me for any the occasions. Honda told me to switch my ez pass responder to make sure that wasn't causing interference. I switched it, and it kept occurring. This morning the concerns I brought up at my last service about what if I get in an accident almost became a reality. Luckily there was no one on the corner waiting to cross the road. The honda dealership keeps telling me there will be an update, but something needs to be done now. Lives are at risk. If I knew how to go by doing a lemon I would. I started reporting issues at 18k, and have constantly been doing reporting occurrences were the vehicle has malfunctioned.
