CR-V

  • 4,000 miles
I purchased a 2018 Honda CRV from a local Honda dealer, herb chambers Honda burlington, last fall. The car had performed very reliably until January 24, when, while driving on the interstate outside of boston the hood of the car opened and smashed into the windshield. I was able to pull off the road safely in order to inspect the car. The car sustained damage to the hood and fenders. Over the course of my ownership ' I never opened the hood nor did I ever hear or notice any rattling. I brought the CRV immediately to the local Honda dealer (herb chambers) for repair, which I assumed would be covered under warranty. I also requested alternative transportation since I have a commute in excess of 20 miles. However, since they could not identify a defect to a part it was not covered and by implication my fault and I would have to find my own transportation. I contacted the dealer I purchase the CRV from and the general manager indicated that it was not a dealership issue and that I should contact Honda America customer service. I did contact them and they were able to provide me a 3 day car rental ' which was not adequate since I am expecting to be without a car for over 3 weeks. Everyone I have dealt with from Honda has been kind and courteous. However, in each and every contact they have indicated that without a visible defect, it is not Honda's problem. In not one conversation, did anyone ask what happened or offered to investigate the cause. Please let me know if you have any questions. John

The key fob will automatic open all windows and moon roof if unlock button is hit in a certain sequence accidentally. Also, you can accidentally open tailgate. Honda needs to have a disable feature. Both of these have happen twice on me.

CR-V

  • 11,000 miles
On January 25, 2018, I went out & got into my 2017 Honda CR-V touring, started it and then got out and ran back into house for a bottle of water. When I came out, my car had traveled across the street (flat surface) and had lodged against my neighbors tree. What caused the car to come out of gear or if I had left it in gear, why wasn't it rolling when I got out" have there been problems of this nature with this make/model Honda" I incurred approximately $4,000 damage and I wasn't even in vehicle!

CR-V

  • 6,900 miles
The "tailgate cover" detached and flew off while driving on the interstate at 70 mph - not turning, stopping, or decelerating. Thankfully, it hit the road surface and not another driver! upon stopping and closer inspection, there are three (3) broken plastic peg-like things still in their connectors. There are two screws with broken plastic around them. There are three white ports with no pins connected, leaving me to assume those three connecting pins were not adequately engaged leading to the failure.

CR-V

  • 9,000 miles
On a day with significant winter weather I drove my vehicle and when I arrived at my destination and parked I was unable to open the drivers door. The state of the door lock didn't matter. I called a friend who came over to help. They said that the exterior door handle had failed to retract fully. They pushed it in and the door was subsequently able to open. The failure of the exterior door handle to return to the closed position appeared to be due to a bit of ice. The apparent situation is that if the exterior handle is out of position then the interior handle can fail to open the door.
