2023 Honda CR-V

I purchased this car in February 2023. The issue presented itself within 2-3 months of owning the vehicle. When backing up in the morning, the lane assist malfunction indicator comes on. If the car sits for long periods and then backs up- the indicator will come on. I have taken the car to the dealership multiple times and they do not have a fix. I called American Honda and they say the dealership is responsible for fixing and there is nothing they can do. I have recently noticed that the cross traffic sensor does not always catch and alert as well. The mechanic did say this is a common issue with crv based on their message board chat (which he showed me in August 2023) and waiting on Honda to find a fix.

Steering wheel is sticking and not operating smoothly. Feels like steering wheel has notches in it. Very difficult to steer. Feels unsafe to drive. Have taken to service department at dealership several times. We are told the part is on critical back order. We started having the problem in November. Part was ordered in February. Part number 536203D4A24. Have now also filed a complaint with Honda. The problem is getting worse and I don’t feel like it is safe to drive at this point.

When driving the car will false brake or alert to brake when nothing is directly in front of the car. Many instances the car will catch a car in the lane beside it and brake because it thinks the car is in front of it and will begin alerts and braking the car while driving on the interstate. Internal electronics like the infotainment will stop working and no longer play music, pull information from device when trying to connect via Bluetooth or USB. Had many occurrences where the port will respond with BAD USB and not connect. Only fix to get it working in the meantime has been factory resets. Have had to perform over 30 in the year of ownership.

All warning lights on the auto’s dash will spontaneously light up and start alarming while I’m driving. This has been happening since I bought the car, I have brought it into the dealer and written the dealer multiple times about this. It seems to be worse in the summer when the air conditioning is running and has also happened occasionally in the winter with the heat running but much less frequently. The Honda service center is not able to identify the problem. It is very distracting and dangerous when this happens on the highway.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal to make a lane change, the vehicle revved up and hesitated before gaining forward momentum. The contact stated he heard an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that it sounded as if the electric hybrid propulsion system had shut off. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure to accelerate was intermittent and occurred when he was on the highway and was depressing the accelerator pedal to gain speed. Additionally, the contact stated that he observed that the vehicle would start independently and that the power door locks would fail to operate as needed. The contact stated that on several occasions after turning off the vehicle and entering the residence the contact heard the vehicle emitting a remote start beep. The contact stated that he approached the vehicle and the vehicle had independently started. The contact also became aware that the battery was drained intermittently, and the vehicle needed to be jumpstarted. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact had not retrieved the vehicle from the dealer. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

I was braking pulling forward into a parking place, going approximately 10 mph. The brakes did not work , the car accelerated jumped a curb ran over a parking sign and did not stop. I attempted to turn to the left on the island so as not to go into the busy street. I scraped/ran into a small tree while trying to put the car in park. I heard a large bang, 3 airbags deployed. I do not know if I ran over something, nothing was in my sight or view. Due to all of the smoke I quickly turned off the car and tried to get out. My left underside forearm had a 5”x3 1/2” bruise with swelling at the largest area and pain. The swelling is approximately 2 1/2” x2 1/2”. The mid to right side of my chest was injured extending to my right side with pain and bruising on and under my right breast. I went by ambulance to an ER. I am alarmed and traumatized. I have been experiencing lightheadedness since the accident. I have had headaches. The car took off as I was attempting to stop. I had NO control of the vehicle and could not bring it to a stop. There were no warning messages etc. If people were near or in front of me it would have been catastrophic, I had no control. There is a police report. My car is to be examined by the insurance company. My understanding is that it will be considered “totaled “. I reported the accident to Honda who I lease from. I was told that it could be “a software problem “. When the car malfunctioned I had just left my home , driving for the first time that day. My first stop was driving a couple of blocks to vote. I do not know how to upload pictures or the accident report. I have pictures of the car from the tow lot. After returning from the hospital I took pictures of the site to include the downed sign, damaged tree and broken car pieces in the driveway. I retrieved 2 large pieces of the car from the driveway.

The dashboard (=all the gauges behind the wheel) turned off while I was traveling in highway. While I was looking a safe place to park, in about 10-15 seconds, dash come back on again and started showing all possible warnings. After parking on the shoulder, the car put itself in so called limp mode. The dealership took a look at it and stated that the components had been disconnected with the dashboard and they have to reset the ECU. They don't know what caused this issue yet claim it's ok to drive.This could have ended up with a serious accident

Sticky steering making it difficult to keep the car going straight as the steering adjustments can't be gradual. This occurs in straight lines, gradual turns and around tight corners. Issue starts around 30 mph and gradually gets worse as speed increases. As of now, this is resulting in the dealer replacing the rack and pinion assembly.
