CR-V

  • 4,000 miles
Car stalls when going up parking ramp, car dies at intersection, car does not sence objects when in reverse, a blue line appears when raining and I reverse obstruction view, electronics freeze and unable to use touch screen...usually happens when raining creating a safety hazard. Brakes failed (pedal froze) in reverse. Salesman said to let it happen several more times before making a service appointment. The car has been a problem ever since I got it earlier this year...there is only 4,000 miles on it and so far, they changed the battery...explanation I was given is that Honda has bad batteries. This after changing oil one week prior and service report indicated good battery. One week after servicing, the car died and had to be towed. The service people at Honda said it was all due to a bad battery. Brakes failed due to bad battery"??" still having problems, car is stalling, panel freezes, sensors don't work...salesman said no loaners available and if you wanted a loaner when you service car, should have bought a Lexus or BMW. This after I described all the problems. Really unhappy with this car. I believe it's a major safety issue..brakes failed, panel freezes, car stalls...help!!!!! note this happened as recently as 10/5/18 but really it happened several times since I've had this car. I had it towed once when a light flashed, "brake failure" and I was unable to start the car. The battery was changed - this was in August of 2018.

The automatic gear selector has no indicator on it. Additionally, depending on angle driver is sitting, it appears to be in a different gear or position than actual selection. I have had three near misses due to this design. From being in neutral and rolling down hill backwards when I thought I had it in drive, to being in neutral instead of park. After 30 years of driving, this is the first car I've driven that had no infictator to show what gear I was in.
