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.

Hi everyone, I had a few typo's. 1). The electoral didn't pass and american Honda wouldn't help. Thanks

- Sun City, AZ, USA

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.

When temperatures get cold, the button to open the rear hatch will not work. This causes the owner to not be able to access the trunk

Oem battery failures. Car would not start. Stopped on city street. Safety issue. Failed at home too. Manufacturer defect.

- Portland, CT, USA

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.

The car operates on a keyless ignition, and uses push button start. The issue is, once the car is running, it will stay running without the computer fab key in the car. This is a safety hazard, I can leave the door open and walk out of the car with the key in hand and it stays running, a child or someone can get in the car and shift the gear lever causing serious injury. Also there was no warning when I left the car with the computer key in my pocket and no flashing of lights or blinking or horn noise. This is a violation of the NHTSA laws that no vehicle should be running once the key has left the car. Well this vehicle continues to run without the key in the car, this is very dangerous. The vehicle should shut off after the key has left the car. This push button start is cheap and can cause serious injury. The car should shutoff without the key in the car. I left the car with the door open and key in my pocket, the car failed to shut off because the push button has to be pressed to shut off. The car is suppose to shut off without the key in the car per NHTSA rules and regulations
