10 warning messages appear on the dashboard simultaneously. This has happened about 10 times now and has been viewed by an independent repair shop. The failures involve the breaking system, TPMS, power steering, vehicle stability assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation and road departure. All of the 10 failures occurred when the temperature was below 40 degrees. They all were cleared after warming up in my garage overnight. When the warning messages appear, none of the systems are operational causing major safety concerns. I have a log of each occurrence and a video of the dashboard when the vehicle is started with the failures. Also, I am writing to alert you of this because there are many others who have experienced the same problems as I found after doing some on-line research. Please feel free to contact me about any other details.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving on a local street at approximately 40 MPH, her vehicle had intermittently slammed on the brakes. The contact stated that the brake light had illuminated for about 3 seconds, and the brakes had released themselves. The contact stated that there was not a crash and no one was hurt because there was no other vehicle behind or in front of her when the failure occurred. The contact stated that she then drove her vehicle to the dealer who performed a terminal reset on her vehicle, and advised her that there was nothing wrong with her vehicle. The contact stated that in the past the brake light would illuminate, however it never caused her vehicle to slam on the brakes. The contact stated that she contacted the manufacturer, and they were not able to assist. The contact stated that upon doing her own research, she found many complaints concerning the same year, make, and model experiencing the same failure as she experienced with her vehicle. The mileage failure was 40,000.
My CRV TOURING 2018 has a little over 23,000 miles. I started the car and all of the safety lights come on as malfunctioning. I could not get the vehicle to back up out of the garage. I never put the brakes on. I finally was able to get it out of the garage and to the dealership. Two of the personnel at the dealership said they had never seen that many lights on the dash come on and some they had never seen. This is the second battery that has been put into the car and the charge was good. The car was looked at for several hours. They did not know what was wrong and reset the system some how and I went home. The paperwork said I told them the car was hard to start which I never said. Three days later upon starting the car all of the same lights and warnings came on. This time I was able to back up with no issues. I went straight to the dealer and asked them to do an ECU check. They said it could be the fuel injectors; however could not guarantee that would solve the problem with all the lights coming on. Had the car all day and came back with about 7 codes. I had to ask what the codes were as they had not been written down on my statement. I wrote them down and looked them up that night. Two of them were under warranty. The mechanic did not know the two codes were under warranty and did not look into it further. I took the car in for the third time and had the codes updated and checked. One was for the injectors which they said failed. The other was a check for spark plugs, etc. to help eliminate the source of problem. Again, they said the problem was the injectors and the cost to repair would be $2,200.00. I have requested a Good Will Repair which was over three weeks ago. Honda North America said the District Manager would be handling it and then I was told that the District Manager would let the Service Manager at Honda dealership handle it. That person has not returned my calls. I am not driving my car much and really need it badly.
All the alerts are going off on the car. Brakes, safety, transmission you name it.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the contact heard a beeping sound coming from the vehicle. A message appeared on the instrument panel to apply the brake and the brake was applied independently of driver input. After several seconds, the vehicle started operating normally. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
While driving at 5-10 MPH in a grocery store parking lot the vehicle suddenly flashed a brake warning light and came to a jarring stop. There were no obstacles in the path of travel. It was taken to schlossman honda and no problems could be found. American honda has since asked us to sign a consent form to collect the radar and camera for study.
Driving on highway car brakes for no reason car in back almost hit me happens more than once
I was driving straight in an open street, no obstacles at all. However, my vehicle started beeping and slammed the brakes to a complete stop. I was almost thrown out of my seat but thank god I had my seatbelt on. I checked my dash camera footage aswell no sign of obstacle, nothing at all. I believe its the collision mitigation braking system that got activated for no reason. I have my dash cam footage to support my claim.
When I star the car and drive the yellow warning light stay on and the red light blink and not go off. All warning light. (tps, collision mitigation problem, emisin syst. Problem, electric brake problem, etc.). Aslo this happen already 4 times before. Couple times I use my brakes when I was drive and I felt that the car no stop righ at time and almost hit the other car. Also I change my motor oil and the old one is mix with gasoline and is more volume that I put in. Also some time when I drive the car star to stalling.
I was driving 40mph up beach blvd. No traffic immediately near me. The forward collision avoidance system beeped and flashed brake brake brake. Without cause the car stopped suddenly. This is the second reported incident with this same car in less than a year. I immediately called honda dealership. No recalls or probable cause. After last incident, there were some new updates installed on the car. Told I would never have any more issues - a freak occurrence. My fear is that it will happen again with a semi behind me. This safety feature may very well be deadly.
This is the 3d time multiple sensor warnings have appeared: TPMS/acc/brake/downhill assist/lane departure/etc.. Warnings. The dealer (brandon hinda) just resets codes with no reason for recurring problem. Reserach shows many have similar problems reported to hinda and there is a class action lawsuit pending alleging 2016-2019 honda cr-v safety systems are defective; filed in us district court for the central district of california; ward, et al., vs. American honda motor co., inc. Et al. Vehicle was stationary when problem noticed.
Loss of steering control while making a left turn at low speeed < 20 MPH.
I was driving on a city street under repairing with steel plates putting on street. While my car just about 15 feet from a big steel a plate (1 inch above ground) , speeding 30 miles. Suddenly, it braked so hard, left skids on street and stop right on the street and then it released brake. Luckily the car behind was far away; therefore no collision from the back
I was driving the car in town on a clear day approximately 25-30 MPH when the collision mitigation braking system engaged and stopped the car. There were no cars in front of me or behind me (luckily escaping being rear ended). There was nothing in the road in front of me that warranted this system engaging.
Driving 35mph on main road brakes automatically functioned. No traffic around me. Passengers lurched forward.
I was driving 40mph on a city street it was a sunny 83 degree day with no one in front of me when my crv slammed on the brakes by itself. The speedometer turned orange and said "brake". The collision mitigation braking system falsely detected something in front of me when there was nothing. We jerked to a stop, the vehicle behind almost hitting us. My son, dog, and I were extremely scared. I brought my vehicle into my honda dealership and they said the sensor was a little off but they could not find any other reason that the cmbs would malfunction? I've read online that this has been a huge issue with 2017 and 2018 honda crv's equipped with this feature and honda has not done a recall but there is a class action lawsuit out of california.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the brakes suddenly activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,000.
I had just turned on highway and was accelerating to speed - at about 45 MPH the auto braking engaged fairly sharply and something flashed on dash and beeped (too fast for me to read) and then it stopped. Acc & lkas were on but not engaged at the time. Sunny day and no vehicles around anywhere
The safety system (honda sensing) that detects a car or pedestrian in your path and engages the brake warning light and automatic braking mechanism will sometimes engage at highway speeds when there is no object any where near the car. If this engages that could cause the car to stop on the highway causing a collision. I have had this happen 6 times and 2 of those 6 times the warning light came on and and braking occurred. The other 4 times the warning light with the brake indicator came on which was distracting.
On two occasions, the car has unexpectedly and without any reason, braked to a virtual stop, as though there were a vehicle directly in front of me, while driving in the city on a road going about 40mph. However, there were no cars anywhere near my vehicle. In addition, my car will also unexpectedly beep and signal to me that I must brake, again, without a car being in front of me, again, while in motion at approximately 35mph. The honda dealer claims they have looked into my complaints, which I see as potentially life threatening, particularly if the car brakes on a fast moving interstate, and they are "unable to replicate the issue or find any sensor issues." the fact that this vehicle is operating correctly is patently untrue and the occurances regarding the sensor "brake" messaging is becoming more and more frequent.
I was driving on route 80 in new jersey at 70 MPH. No traffic around me or in front of me the car applied automatic braking system. Car came almost to a complete stop causing me neck and back pain. There was no warning there was absolutely no reasoni was using cruise control. Dealer find nothing wrong with the car. Very nervous about driving this car now. It was a clear sunny day.
On monday, june 29, 2020, I was driving home from target in college point. I was driving on 20th avenue, a two-way local street, and all of a sudden my car braked. The white van behind me stopped in time to avoid rear-ending me. Stepped on the gas, and the car didn't move, the engine just revved a little. Then all of a sudden the car jerked forward a little, and then began driving again. I made a left-hand turn and pulled over to make sure that nothing was stuck in the wheels, or under the car. There was nothing. I took it to my regular service station, to have them look at the brakes, and they said that there was nothing wrong with the brakes, that they were fine. The technician recommended that I take it to the nearest honda dealer, and have them check the collision mitigation brake system. The first time I had brake problems was in an accident I was in 9 months after I purchased the vehicle. This incident occurred 8 months after the accident. I am concerned that we will be having braking problems every 8-9 months with the vehicle.
On september 25, 2019, I was approaching an intersection going 25 MPH. I applied the brakes to stop at the light, and the car kept moving. We collided with a car coming from the opposite direction, that was turning left. I stepped on the brakes and the car would not stop. We ended up driving over a sidewalk, into a parking lot. The car only stopped when I turned it off.
While driving on a level street around 40 MPH with no cars directly in front of me for 6+ car lengths, a car behind me, and cars next to me, the automatic braking system tapped my breaks and issued warnings on the driver's display.
A bunch of sensors including the radar, lane departure, collision detection was stolen from my 2018 honda crv without the central alarm getting triggered. The black box below the honda logo was broken, and the sensor/connectors were pulled out. The vehicle was parking in my driveway. Bridgewater nj police complain no: #[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was riding on a 4 lane highway, going straight, not another car, animal or stoplight in sight and the automated braking system slammed on brakes so hard it brought me to a stop - if I had not had a seatbelt on it would have thrown me into the windshield and if another vehicle had been behind me I would have probably been killed. Nothing was in sight to make this happen. I called my dealership and they never heard of such but when I google it I find there's a class action lawsuit for this same problem. This is a deadly problem, what if I had been on a busy interstate hwy?
While in motion in a city street with foot on accelerator the vehicle automatically braked for no reason. There were no other vehicles around to warrant brake system to initiate. This has happen several times and could cause me an accident.
