Three potentially serious electrical issues are summarized: twice in the last month while highway driving the instrument panel quickly flashed the following warning messages: 1) adaptive cruise control (acc) problem; 2) road departure mitigation system problem; 3) collision mitigation system problem; 4) brake system problem. Drivability was not affected at the time, though the messages caused immediate concerns about what caused these to appear for no apparent reason while driving. Weather and roads were clear. I had to pull over and restart the vehicle, which cleared the error displays and instrument panel returned to normal operation. While driving (city and highway) the vehicle brightness control on the info screen will randomly start to beep and flash repeatedly. The screen cycles between dark and various info displays while the audio system keeps playing. The touchscreen controls on the screen are non-responsive when this happens. Stopping and restarting the vehicle restores the display to normal. This occurs while the car is in motion with no particular reasons for the abnormal behavior. This situation with the display has reoccurred more than a dozen times since I purchased the car (dec 2017). The most recent occurrence happened near the end of a 600-mile driving day. Yesterday the car would not start, battery issue was determined to be the likely problem after placing a service assist call to honda. A jump start and problem was resolved. Mileage approx. 19,000. This is the second time this occurred since owning the car. The first time it happened within a couple of months of owning the car. In both instances, the car had been parked less than 2 hours. Parking brake was not set in either case.

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.

All electrical warning lights go on. Been in shop 3 times within the last 6 months )twice in the last 2 weeks) supposedly giving off different codes even though the symptoms are the same. Twice vehicle was moving but dry weather. Once started after being in garage. Dealer keeps saying it is different problems causing the same thing which concerns me.

I was accelerating onto a highway when the car suddenly lost acceleration and power, made a high pitched squeal with receipt of the following warnings/alarms: brake system warning, loss of collision avoidance system, electric parking brake problem, road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, hill assist problem, vehicle stability assist problem, power steering system problem, brake hold problem, emissions system problem to name a few. This is more than troublesome, the guy behind me almost hit me and had to swerve to avoid an accident. More recently I was driving on a highway at night when I lost my headlights and parking lights. In addition the following alarms locked in brake system warning, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure system problem, auto high beam system problem. Its one thing to get warnings its another to loose your headlights and parking lights on a busy dark highway. I shudder to think what could have happened. Honda does not know what is happening. How can they sell a $30,000 + vehicle and have safety issues such as these? Somebody needs to act quickly before folks are killed.

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.

The vehicle brightness control on the center screen beeps and flashes at random times. The beeping alone is very distracting. The screen often goes dark. It's necessary to restart the vehicle in order to "reset" the display, a possibly dangerous situation on the highway. Vehicle is typically in motion each time this has occurred on various roadways. This situation with the display has reoccurred approximately ten times thus far.

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.

The navigation system failed. Honda will not authorize repair, stating if they replaced the navigation system, it would fail again. The dealer and honda say that the crv's have some type of electronic problem that is blowing out navigation systems and that they will not replace or repair the navigation system until their techs can figure out what is causing the problem. Their only response to my questions are for me to call every 30 days to see if they have found out the cause and to buy a map if I travel. No service, no repair and no answers.

I had parked my car for 4 days while away on a business trip. I came back and the car was totally dead. It wouldn't start, I could not even open the doors without the emergency key. I purchased a charger and I spent several hours charging it back up before I could drive again. I had the parking brake on due to the fact I had parked in my driveway which had a mild slope to it. Online research indicated this was a recurring problem in 2017s when you apply parking break. Honda service bulletin 17-032. But no recall and I understand that doesn't always fix the electrical drain on the system. I already purchased a battery once when it happened before and I ignorantly didn't look up the problem.

The system produces false positives and triggers warnings when no obstructions are present, when cruise control is on highway speed fluctuates without any vehicles near by. The system causes numerous warning messages randomly. The screen goes black and I have to turn the car off and then on to fix the problems. Car brakes without people assistance. All this problems happen a random times and while driving.

While diving randomly at high speeds (60+ MPH) and while turning in very good weather all warning lights light up (I have a video) and the vehicle loses power. This has happened a number of times on the highways and a major safety concern. I had to pull out of the highway stop and restart for the vehicle to regain power but the warning lights continue to be lit. After a couple of start and stop it disappears. It is a major safety concern and I have been lucky so far. I have approached the dealership thrice about the issue and they have replaced 2 sensors and updated the software but the issue persists.
