Driver side door lock was broken. Car was broken into. Airbag (on steering wheel) was stolen. I am not sure if the alarm went off. Caused “Airbag System (SRS) Problem” warning light on the dash. Car was still drivable. This was during the pandemic so there was a parts shortage. Needed to replace lock, airbag, and clock spring. Took 2 weeks.

Continuous illumination of all lights on the dash. We have to reset the battery to clear the codes and it will do it again but the timing differs. Now, I am getting the “Airbag SRS System Problem” that pops up and then goes away when the vehicle is restarted. This has been going on for over a year. We have replaced the alternator and continue to try and find the actual malfunction as a code reader just lists all things being illuminated. We are not the first, not the only, and definitely not the last crv owners with this issue. FIX THIS!!!! I’m highly disappointed in Honda.

*This car was parked in the driveway 2 days without being driven before the following incident* ALSO- there are recalls for this make and model. Honda always said that the recalls do not include my car. Recalls should be expanded to include mine since the car is un drivable at the Honda service center. WHAT HAPPENED: Alarm went off on car in driveway. Horn constantly going off. Smoke came out around steering wheel and inside the vehicle filled with smoke. All lights came on dash. Gears were locked up and had to manually put in neutral to get on tow truck. Car is at Honda dealership in cumming GA. Said I needed steering wheel cable, srs unit, safety restraints unit, & brake boosters. They put parts on. Did same thing to them as it did in my driveway. Horn & smoke & all!! Now they say it needs steering wheel & the harness is on back order until August 28! and that my vin # is NOT on the recall but I believe it should be. This car could have caused a fire and was parked beside my house. My family and I were at risk and almost called police and fire department. Newborn baby, & other family members inside the home. Family members disconnected the battery because horn was so loud. All these repairs are headed towards $9000 & this is insane. This is my only vehicle. I must have transportation!

The passenger side seat weight sensor assembly failed. It is available for inspection. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired by a certified Honda dealer. The airbag light stayed on beginning in December 2023. The SRS warning light came on in March 2024. This defect was subject to a recall of CRV’s manufactured from 2020 to 2022. We believe the 2019 vehicles were affected also and should have been part of the recall. Honda has recognized this problem and has reimbursed us $800 of the $1758.68 of the repair bill.

Cracked windshield with no impact damage. Happened while car was parked in a carport overnight (12/2/2022). Stress crack is about 8" inches in length originating from drivers side A-pillar under mounding. Vehicle us still under manufacturers 3 yr/36k mile new car warranty. As the windshield is an integral part of the SRS system, we consider this a safety defect.

I have purchased honda crv 2019 0n 02/18/2019. Initially the car performance was awesome. My first visit at first texas honda on 10/04/2019, to fix tyre puncher. When primary technician reminded me about security recalls then I asked to fix all the 3 recalls (1. 2019 cr-v fi-ecu self shutdown software product update, 2.2019 cr-v steering wheel controls & SRS sub-wire satefy recall, 3. 2019 cr-v incorrect owner's guide non-compliance recall) second visit at the same dealer on 10/17/2019 to explain all the issues I was facing after security recalls. The reported issues are high engine noise, sluggish acceleration, steering wheel tight and brake pedal feels very low while applying brake. Honda dealers did not accept the main issue while is high engine noise and sluggish acceleration. They simply deny saying no alerts showing on the dashboard. Raised support cases (given below) with american honda and I feel I did not get right support because american honda says we value our customers but they say our authorized dealer should check and confirm on the car issue. But dealers not agree to the issues, simply denying the issues. American honda support case numbers: 1) 09952327 during oct 2019. 2) 10214175 during feb 2020. 3) 202888213 during december 2020 but the issues were not resolved. As a third party review, I approached firestone, austin for inspection they did a test ride and confirmed with a report on the issues sluggish acceleration and steering hardness. But american honda denied firestone inspection report as they believe only authorized dealer, who are not acknowledging the issues. If any person who drive new honda cr-v and try my car they agree in first attempt that engine noise is high and the car speed pick-up is very poor. I need help from the federal safety agency asap bcoz my new cr-v which is still in warranty but no-body accepts the car engine issue to fix it.

On oct 5, 2019, our new 2019 crv with only 178 miles displayed a dashboard warning - airbag system (SRS) problem while driving.. We stopped, shut off the car and then restarted. Within minutes, the warning reappeared. We returned home and mad an appointment with honda service for oct 7, 2019. On oct 6, 2019, while driving , the warning again showed on the dashboard. When we got to the service department on oct 7, the warning was show2ing on the dashboard. After the service inspection, we were told the problem was a low voltage code, that it had been reset and the warning no longer showed while the car was at a standstill in the service bay. Within 5 miles of leaving the dealership, the warning reappeared. We returned to the service department and the problem was reexamined. We were then told that the problem was a bad airbag. It would take 4 days for the new bag to get there and we would have to return for the replacement.. We did not get a new service statement printout. The warning again showed on our return home.

Srs system defect. Please find, attached, a letter entitled "important safety recall". I received this in early july from the dealer. When I called my honda dealer I was told I could bring the car in the following week. My service representative called back, in a few days, and told me the parts were not in yet and please call back in a few weeks. I called today, 8/5/2019, and was told my service rep. Was on vacation this week and I would be put on their "call back" list and contacted when the parts came in. Then, I called the honda customer support center and was told the parts might be in "by the end of summer". The "what is the reason for this notice?" see below, states the dangers this defect can cause. I am very concerned about this!the honda representative said I just "have to wait" and there is nothing else they can do about this. No rental car. Etc. They (honda) told me they had to issue this warning, per government law, but they can't give a date to their customer as to when the defect will be resolved. Any help, regarding this issue, would be greatly appreciated.

American honda motor co., inc. (honda) is recalling certain 2019 model year cr-v vehicles. The metal core of the steering wheel may contain burrs, which can damage the cable reel sub-harness and cause a short-circuit. This can result in inoperative steering wheel-mounted control buttons (including the horn), illumination of the supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning indicator, and/or an uncommanded deployment of the drivers airbag. Honda was unwilling to tell me about the safety concerns related to this recall or provide a loaner vehicle. They are not able to fix this issue until the end of august/early september.

I have been notified of a recall for my crv. "that the steering wheel may contain "burrs" which can damage the cable reel sub harness and cause a short circuit, this can cause inoperative steering wheel buttons, horn and uncommanded deployment of drivers side airbag. Srs may not function in crash and uncommanded deployment of airbag increases risk of crash and injury." 3 people have already been injured. When I contact honda for this recall repair they tell me the parts are not available yet and they do not know when they will be. I requested alternative transportation be provided me until recall repair completed. Honda told me they had to review my "case" first, this would not happen until next week. I have no car to drive unless I drive a car that is unsafe due to honda not repairing it immediately. They need to provide all people involved in this recall with alternative transportation or repair the problem immediately.
