Center console unit refuses to dim under any lighting conditions. Attempting to manually dim it results in momentary dimming and then return to full brightness. This makes it very difficult to see at night and requires that I shut off the center unit completely in order to drive safely. According to Honda this is a known software issue on the whole range of 5th gen crvs but they have not issued any fixes.

For 2 days (fri/sat) when remotely locking doors, the doors would lock but there was no lights or beep indicating the doors were locking. Checked menus to ensure the feature was on, it was. On Sunday, stopped for fuel, fueled up, vehicle would not start while at the pumps. Clicking noise and multiple lights on dash. Error messages: "electric parking brake problem", "brake system problem", "tire pressure low" among others appeared. I could not deactivate the parking brake. Quick google search showed a jump start would remedy the situation, which it did. Replaced original battery (3 years old) however, when remotely locking the vehicle, the vehicle lights are still not flashing and no beep is heard. Will be making appointment at dealership, but based on past performances of dealerships, not hopeful a cause or solution will be found. I have found Honda dealerships are quick to point blame to the driver for an issue.

Ongoing intermittent issues since car was purchased May 2017. Repeated battery drains and complete failure, battery replaced by Honda July 2020. Drove, parked, would not start or run accessories Nov. 30 2020 and on Jan. 1 2021 when tow service stated battery at 9.4 volts 74 amps. It had been driven weekly. Intermittent error messages and random flashing/scrambled dashboard message lights. Intermittent failure to lock/unlock or remain locked. Battery in key fob replaced and key fob replaced. We are very conscious of locking car. Once I heard it unlock and saw lights flash while I was in front yard without having the key fob on my person. As additional precaution set-up the "automatic lock" function but we do not depend upon this. The possibility of an alarm failure with 2 attempts at taking things in/on the car and no alarm (one time car found unlocked with glove box dumped, etc.).

After a 30 minute drive on the highway I stopped for around 15 minutes and when I started the engine the dash board would not light up all lights were off, although the engine was running. The indicators were not working and the screen inside the car also stopped working. I also noticed that the trunk could not open. This first happened when the cat was still under warranty (around 6000 miles on it), the dealer said they could not find a problem, but they had to do a "hard reset" to get the electrical systems back on. Two years after the same thing happened ( car now has around 12000 miles), but the lights went back on when I restarted the car. On two separate occasions while getting into the car, all the windows went down half way on their own after I opened the door with the remote.

The battery dies frequently for no reason after not driving for one to two days. When the battery dies, it locks up the brakes and messes up the safety features.

Battery runs down. Put new battery...same problem. Need a jump to start for me to drive. Battery runs down if it sits for a day problem steering after it is jumped. All alerts are on then disappears after battery resets components on its own. Alerts for stabilization, breaking stabilization and more turns on when driving. Went over problems with a friend who is a mechanic. Trouble shooting everything and concluding something in electrical that doesn't turn off and runs new battery down when engine is off. Oil cap smells like gas fuel. Honda mechanic told me on the spot it could be this or that even when I said there are problems with that noted on websites. Car at Honda dealership getting "fixed"....told me it is the alternator, but car engine doesn't stop or shuts off when it is jumped and driven. We also have had problems where the alert warning alarm turning on while driving on the highway indicating there is an object in front or side when there is nothing there. Those issues began happening before I had these recent battery problems (6 months before issues with the battery). I also recall that in the fall of 2018 that the object alert turned on a couple of times driving on the highway. My daughter also has experience this while driving both highway and town street. Mechanic from Honda is not addressing the smell of gas in oil cap even with information I told him about this problem noted with previous customers. Hasn't looked into it since my car has been there for a day and half.

All system warning lights illuminated in dashboard display. First failure happened 12/16/19 while parked with engine running. Second failure happened 9/10/20 while driving.

- Parkville, MD, USA

The driver safety assistance system displays a series of failure notifications on the dashboard display. Includes but not limited to lane drift, rear collision alert, parking brake, cruise control and numerous others. This has happened several times while in motion or when parked. Pohanka Honda has attempted to fix this problem 3 times in the last 6 months. Once 3 weeks ago and the last effort was 12 hours ago. Car is still not fixed. An internet search shows this being a known problem that Honda has not been able to fix. I have receipts for all repairs but unable to upload.

- Snow Hill, MD, USA

While driving normally on a road about 30 mph all of the vehicle's warning lights came on in a sequence and continued to rotate through the entire array of warning lights continuously. The vehicle continued to drive normally. After stopping and turning off the car we restarted the car and the warning lights continued to flash and beep in sequence. The Honda dealer said we needed to replace parts in the fuel system. After investigation this seems to be a common problem with Honda vehicles. This is a dangerous situation as it distracts the driver

I have owned this vehicle 1 yr and a few months and have had to have the computer system wiped out and the software reinstalled more than 2X due to 'problem' dash lights all of the sudden scrolling;road departure mitigation system problem, electric brake system problem, brake hold system problem, tire pressure monitor problem, emissions system problem, electric parking brake problem, power steering system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, ect. The vehicle was involved in a fender bender in the middle of all this chaos, but the problems started shortly after I bought it in may2019. At one time the computer would clear itself out and I could ride around for a day or two without all these lights flashing. That is no longer the case. These scrolling problem lights occur after I've been driving down the road but now they come on immediately when I turn on the vehicle. Prior to this and months ago, when I was rounding a corner on the freeway all the sudden the brake assist engaged as if I was too close to a vehicle in front of me. It was quite a jolt. The first time this occurred was October/November. 2019. This evening I got my oil changed and the mechanic found gas in my oil; I mentioned a gas odor last winter to the dealership when I took it in for oil change. They basically blew it off. No doubt about it now. In fact I even saved some of the oil that came out of the engine to show my husband when he gets home. I have used two different dealerships thus far because of workmanship issues at the first dealership. Now dealership number two does not even want to touch my vehicle.

The touch screen radio will go dark sometimes, but also it will show the brightness display and turn the screen brightness all the way up at night while I'm driving. It really bothers me and is dangerous, I have to pull over from driving and turn it back down, and sometimes the touch screen wont work! the volume turns up on it's own, the whole touch screen radio is really messed up. I just signed for this car and it only has 36,000 miles on it! I've read many of other complaints about this too, it needs to be recalled!

While I was driving a lighting on my dash broad came on and my car started to make drive funny. I had pulled over and looked in the manual to see what the symbol stands for. It stated, something is wrong with the electrical system and advise me to turn my SUV off and wait. I waited for ten minutes, when I turn on the car all the lights where flashing on the dash broad, the radio had came on but the windows won't roll down. I waited for 15 minutes the car won't start and all the lights started flashing on the dash broad. I received a jump but my car was still doing the same thing. I had to buy a new car battery but that one in and once I started the car all the lights on the dash broad came on again and turned off once I started to drive my car. Occasionally, it happens every once in awhile. Tonight after work I put my car in drive the [xxx] button on the handle came off!!!! parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I own a 2017 Honda CRV exl model. Recently, the sensing device in the front of the car (below the Honda logo) got stolen from my car. This safety sensor assists the driver with features such as lane keeping assistance, land departure warning, automatic cruise control, etc. I know at least 5 more owners from my apartment community whose car's sensor was stolen. All of us have filed a police complain for theft. The problem why I am asking for assistance is that the sensor can be so easily stolen that even if I get it fixed, there is a high probability that the sensor can get stolen again. One does not need any tool is steal the sensor. Anyone can open that panel in a minute and walk away with an important safety feature. It's that easy. None of us heard any anti theft alarm buzzing when the sensor was stolen. This is a serious design flaw and Honda should take complete responsibility of this debacle and that a permanent solution should be worked out by Honda so that the owners do not face the issue in the future.
