The vehicle seems to drive normally. When I go to turn off the car after parking, the engine turns off but the electronics do not - this uses all of the battery in the state. I took to dealership and they said bad Body Control Module (BCM). Honda recently recalled 700,000 vehicles because of BCM issues however CRV wasn't one of them - I suspect I am having the same issue - the replacement BCM, I'm told by the dealership, is backordered several months. I have a car that I cannot drive. This needs to be investigated.

Vehicle is going in to 'limp" mode at highway speeds without warning. All safety features including ACC, LKAS, Emergency Braking, Collision avoidance, brake hold do not work when this happens. Vehicle must be pulled over to the side of the road, shut off and then restarted to allow car to operate at normal speed until the issue occurs again ( usually 20-30 minutes later). Brought car to Honda and they confirmed fuel injector issue. Part is discontinued and new parts not available. No recall, but incidences where all warning lights come on the dash are all over user groups on the internet. Problem ALWAYS comes back to fuel injectors. The main issue is that it goes in to limp mode with no acceleration available without warning. This creates a HUGE safety issue in rush hour traffic. Honda does not acknowledge the problem with the injector and can offer no information as to when replacement injectors would be available.

The emergency braking was turned off by me a few years ago due to this happening before. Today while I was driving about 35 mph, my car did a hard brake pushing everything including myself to the front giving me whiplash. Good thing nobody was behind me or else they would’ve ran into me for sure. There was nothing even in front of me to even cause this to even happen. I will be calling the dealership about this tomorrow. There was no warning lamps, messages or anything else to indicate this was about to happen or should be happening.

I was driving on the highway with cruise control on when I felt a slight stutter and loss of speed, followed by all my dashboard warning lights turn on. When I tried to press the acceleration, I could only maintain approximately 20mph, with high RPM. The car actually felt like it was maintaining 20mph without any acceleration input. I pulled over and shut the car down. After waiting a while, I restarted the car. All the warning lights remained on, but it seemed I was able to drive the car normally. I decided to drive it 30 minutes to the dealership along back roads not going over 35mph. The dealership "reset" the warning lights and completed several test drives, but they were not able to diagnose the issue. It has been a couple months since the issue and it has not reoccurred, however I have noticed an occasional stutter when trying to accelerate. It is unsettling to know it could happen again, and it seems there is no way to diagnose the problem.

As I depressed the start button to engage my car’s engine, the right rear passenger window spontaneously shattered. The car was parked at the time and there was no motion or contact to the window when the window shattered into multiple fragments. There was no evidence of damage to the window prior to this occurrence.

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Forward Collision Avoidance; Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking; Forward Collision Avoidance: Sensing System: Camera; Forward Collision Avoidance: Sensing System: Radar; Forward Collision Avoidance:software

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation.
