This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Tire pressure sensor keeps going/staying on even though tires are properly inflated. Dealership won't cover cost to find problem and repair it. It is a known defect reported by many users.
On multiple occasions for the past year, this car has stalled when you press the gas pedal. You press the gas, the car "chugs, " and either slows down and has to catch up to itself, or it completely shuts off. It happens pulling out of the driveway, at stop signs, and intersections. We've brought the car to the dealership multiple times, and they can't find the problem. It even stalled on their tech once, but they still couldn't fix it. They suggested replacing the battery, so we did, and nothing changed. This is incredibly dangerous, and nobody at the dealership or the corporate office did anything to address the issue. I believe this car should be recalled and off the road immediately.
For the 3rd time in a year my car battery was drained after parked in the garage for the weekend. Very frustrating when you have a new vehicle that is not dependable. I took it to the Honda dealership and they tested the battery and said it was fine. After a little research I see that Honda has been aware of this problem for years, I guess more people need to file a complaint before they are forced to offer a recall and fix the problem. I will not buy another Honda!
Upon entering and attempting to start the SUV, after closing the door and buckling the entire system will not start intermittently. Stranding the passengers and requiring a boost from another vehicle or tow truck. The lights come on when you attempt to start the vehicle but the engine only clicks and failes to start. A certified mechanic has investigate the alternator, and battery, both were functioning correctly. There have been numerous complaints about this same issue.
In less than 3 years of my 2016 Honda CRV ownership, I have gone through three batteries. As such the car is very well maintained, driven about 25K miles and mostly on highways. CRV would not start and required jump start, to say needed twice in the last week itself. Luckily since I was still under Honda warranty, I did not pay for the batteries but thinking about getting less than a year on Honda 's original battery is insane. Something must be seriously wrong with this make/model of the vehicle.
After sitting in vehicle with radio playing on accessory for 20 minutes the vehicle would not start requiring a boost from aaa. After returning home and in my driveway I checked the voltage on the battery with the engine off and it read $12.31. I started the vehicle and the voltage read $13.22 after a few seconds it went down to $12.25 indicating it wasn't charging. I turned on the headlights and the reading jumped to $14.11 and remained there about until I turned the lights off whereupon it returned to the lower part of 12 volts.
The car will not start. It blinks 'accessory mode' when you try to start it and you cannot get the car out of it without having someone jump the car battery. This has now left my wife stranded two times and both times we had to find someone to jump her.
Ignition started making a zapping noise upon starting. I would then have to try to start again. One day it finally didn't start at all. They stated my battery was no good after approximately 28K miles. Fast forward 7 months later and the ignition is making the same zapping noise yet again. After looking online, there are several other people having the same issue with this make and model
The headlights turn on randomly and off while driving in full sunlight. The lights have come on without input while the car is parked and the ignition is off. American Honda has authorized and replaced both the wiring harness and the fuse box in an attempt to fix this issue. They have refused to do further work on this vehicle and the problem still exists. Once the battery was completely dead in the morning when I tried to use it. It was driven the night before. The lights have turned themselves on with no input from the key fob or the driver when the car is parked. Multiple people have witnessed the car doing this. I have many MP4 files documenting the headlights coming on and going off at random while driving. Under the description of "when did this happen" I put the reported date to the dealership. It happens most every time that I drive the car for any extended period over a few miles.
Electronic trunk system/hatch back door switch does not operate in cold conditions. Honda dealer is required to open hatch back to gain entry. There is no way for a consumer to manually open hatch back door. Expensive repair of $300+. part number 74810-T0A-A02.
Vehicle was sitting idle at a stop light, after being driven for approximately 15 minutes at speeds ranging from 25-50mph. The instrument panel flashed, then went dark, though the vehicle was still running with no other issues immediately noted. Driver pulled into a parking lot about 300' away, put the vehicle into park, and upon exiting saw fire coming from the front of the engine compartment. The fire department responded, but the vehicle was fully involved by the time they arrived on scene 7 minutes later.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda CR-V. while driving 30 mph, the engine shut off and all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. In addition, the power steering and brakes failed to operate. The vehicle was coasted to a stop on the side of the road and towed to community Honda (8340 w 159th St, orland park, il 60462, (708) 364-2600). The dealer diagnosed that the water pump, gasket, and alternator belt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided a case number. The failure mileage was 41,000.
On 02/12/2016 I was pulling out of my garage and everything was fine at that moment, them I went to turn my 2016 CRV it was only going about 1 1/2 miles per hour, but the CRV would not stop, the car only had 3,924 mile too. So I hit my neighbors garage door and side of her home and the car stop after it went over her foundation of her home. I looked down and saw that I was pressing as hard as I could on the brake but it didn't work. This all took about 20 seconds, to fast. I had the brakes check which mechanically pass all test 100%. but on the electoral did pass. 2 code came up. 1). U300616 - power source failure for ECU (low voltage) for the anti-lock brake and the same code for tire pressure. So it not the mechanic of the CRV it's the ECU box the box which everything goes thru. So it's electrical not mechanical. And you never know when it will happen again. The 2016 CRV should be recalled on the ECU box. I never will drive the CRV again. You could really kill someone. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration should look deep into this and have a recall. I did contact american Honda corporation and they did research it, but I was going on that it was mechanical not electrical. American Honda would help. Something needs to be done, so I hope the NHTSA looks into this.
Rear trunk / hatch will not open when temperatures are below freezing. Has occurred many times. Dealer duplicated the issue and replaced the switch stating that they verified communication was lost to the switch when cold. The issue still occurs even after replacement, but dealer states all they can do is replace again because no recall has been issued by Honda.
Lock-out with key fob inside the car, car was not running, parked at work. The car basically 'locked' me out when I put my purse and keys into the car, opened the hood so I could fill the wiper fluid reservoir, closed the door to get wiper fluid out of the back and the car locked the doors. According to the locksmith that opened my car, this is a well known problem - and not just with Honda cars. Thank goodness I was still at work and in a safe location.
