I've reporter to Honda dealer about seat and brake pedal squeaking when pressed several times when my vehicle was under warranty. They always said its normal wear and tear. Car only had 12,000 miles on it at the time. Fast forward to 30K miles, they finally greased the brake pedal and noise went away for another 10K but returned. I was then told its hydrolic brake so it's normal. But I know its not normal to have squeaking noise like that. Moreover, seat squeaking noise has gone worse now. I can literally not take the noise to the point I try not to move at all while driving. I was told this is normal behavior and if I want to replace it it'll cost me $$$$. This should've been covered under warranty and I have few other friends and coworkers with similar issues and they're also being told to deal with it. Adaptive cruise control is ok as long as you don't change the lane or someone in front of you doesn't change the lane. I was going 45mph one night when I had adaptive cruise control turned on. It was seeing the car in front of me and there was a red light coming up. Car in front of me decided to change lane and after that my car failed to recognize the car in front of me stopping for red light. I was at 25mph due to all cars slowing down but as soon as the car front of me changed lane, my car speed accelerated to 45mph and almost hit the car stopped at red light. I slammed the brake so hard to avoid the accident that night. My entire family was freaked out after that and stopped trusting adaptive cruise control.

I was in a rear end collision. The driver seat did not stay upright. Upon impact it reclined. My car was in motion when it was hit, approx 20 mph. This probably caused my injuries to be worse than if the seat had maintained it's upright position.

Driver side seat heater failed at less than 2 years old & under 45,000 miles. Dealer said it's not a covered repair nor manufacturer defect. Honda Corp wouldn't talk to me because vehicle is out of warranty due to high mileage.

Driver side seat makes squeaky noise every time and everyday. Specifically from the right side. This occurred when car had only 6000 miles and dealership told me this is normal for cr V. it wasn't a lot but now it's a bothersome to deal with it. Even a slight move from right side will make the seat squeak like the there's something not properly aligned.

Engine oil level on dipstick way above what it should be and there is a strong gasoline smell in the engine oil. The Honda maintenance minder says 70% engine oil life is left. Also the seat heaters don't seem to work. Based on what I read online this seems to be somehow linked with the engine oil dilution issue

Driver's seat has collapsed on left side right below the air bag tag. Took it back to dealer. They know about the problem. They did a quick fix, but it did not work. Does this problem affect the function of the air bag? I bought the vehicle 4/28/17, and the seat has been messed up for about two months.

Driver side cushion on upper seat has collapsed. This affects the operation of the side air bag. The collapsed support also makes driving uncomfortable and potentially a driver safety risk as well.

My mother and I traveled to visit my daughter that lives 3 1/2 hours away. My mother sat in the passenger seat for the 7 hour trip up and back. The amber or yellow light on the dash "passenger airbag off" was lighted the entire time that my mother was sitting in the passenger seat. Admitted she only weighs 100 lbs and is 86 years old, but she is clearly an adult and should be protected by an airbag deploying in case of a serious crash. The airbag deploying in a crash could literally mean the difference between life and death.
