I would like to report a potential safety issue that exists in my 2018 Honda CR-V. the infotainment system on my Honda will, arbitrarily, cycle through various menus and start beeping loudly. This is extremely distracting and diverts the driver's attention away from the road. It is unbelievably annoying and it completely destroys a driver's situational awareness. After doing some research, I have found that this is an endemic problem with the 2017-2019 CR-V as well as other Honda models. It can occur at any time while driving and numerous examples of this failure mode can be found on youtube. Honda, has suggested that the software is at fault and issued an update, but this has done nothing to solve the problem. In the interest of safety, I write this letter in the hope that the national highway safety administration takes action and investigates this recurring problem. There are countless stories on Honda forums of drivers being distracted and removing their attention from the road as the center infotainment screen starts flashing and beeping incessantly.

This is the 3D time multiple sensor warnings have appeared: TPMS/acc/brake/downhill assist/lane departure/etc.. warnings. The dealer (brandon hinda) just resets codes with no reason for recurring problem. Reserach shows many have similar problems reported to hinda and there is a class action lawsuit pending alleging 2016-2019 Honda CR-V safety systems are defective; filed in us district court for the central district of California; ward, et al., vs. American Honda motor co., Inc. Et al. Vehicle was stationary when problem noticed.

On three occasions I have returned to my parked car which was locked and had all the windows and power sunroof closed when I left it, to find all four windows half way down and the power sunroof three inches open. On two of these occasions it had rained before or was beginning to rain upon my return to the car and significant damage to the vehicle could have occurred if the rain storm had been worse. The third time this happened, my car was parked in a public parking lot and this malfunction created a safety and security risk for my family and property. The Honda CR-V manual indicates that there is a "feature" where if a person presses the unlock button on the key fob once and then presses it again and holds it for a minimum of 10 seconds, all the windows will be lowered half way and partially opens the sunroof. My key fob however was not in a place where the unlock button could be pushed twice in this pattern and these instances were not due to operator errors. Honda currently denies knowledge of any such issue in spite of the fact that my web search found numerous complaints by other CR-V and certain Acura owners about exactly the same issue. The Honda dealership says unless the service department can reproduce the problem they are advised by american Honda the problem does not exist and they cannot file anything with Honda America regarding the issue. Since this is a low occurrence rate intermittent problem, customers will fruitlessly pay Honda to troubleshoot the problem with no resolution of it unless Honda is forced to acknowledge and address it by the NHTSA. I respectfully request you do whatever is in your power to make Honda resolve this issue as at a minimum, an unlocked vehicle allows for the possibility of a criminal gaining access and being present inside the car when the owner returns.

Our 2018 Honda CRV has a dead battery at 21,000 miles. On the internet, I see many other examples of this battery losing charge. Is this a common problem? we were lucky, as the CRV battery died in our garage. But, it could have died in a less friendly location. From what I read, this battery is prone to parasitic current loss at any time. Thank you. Jim bromwell Carolina shores,

Ll systems lights are flashing on my dashboard going on and off since the time of purchase, I took the car to the dealer and they said no issues found, this is happening frequently. I was going through car gurus and so many people who bought Honda CRV during 2018 got impacted with the same issues

2018 Honda CRV touring purchase September 8, 2018. Currently has 16,400 miles. On Thursday, December 10, I went out to start my Honda CRV touring in the garage. It would not start. I called the helpline to have a towing company come to take the car to bob brady Honda dealership in Decatur Illinois. I called bob brady Honda service center they told me to just have the towing company jumpstart my car and drive it into the dealership service department. Note, the towing company driver informed me that this is about the 13th Honda 2018 2020 that he has had to jumpstart. Some of the vehicles he's had to revisit to jumpstart. I didn't drive the car after coming home the rest of the day on Thursday. The car started on Friday, December 18, at 11:30 am. The Honda started on Friday, December 18 at 3:30 pm. Saturday, December 19, the car started at 10:00 am. That same day the car started at 1:00 pm. On Sunday, December 13, I went out to try to start my car at 7:00 am. My car would not start! it is my understanding at the Honda dealership in the service department they will not just flip out the battery until they first try to charge it again to see if that helps the problem. It is now December 14, 2020 and I am going to call the Honda dealership to have my car towed in today for the exact same problem of the battery being dead! both times that the car battery died as well it was sitting in my heated garage. I'm not able to take any photographs on a dead battery. But, I have made a video of exactly how the procedure takes place when I have tried to start my car in the garage.

While driving, all of the warning lights come on. A few days after resetting the computer, this recurred. In one occasion, engine power went to a minimum (10 mph on a level road) while driving. Parking brakes engaged lights flashing while driving. This happened on city streets and was reported by others (https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T76546_ds1113654). Honda dealer admitted they saw this with others but neither they nor corporate Honda will take responsibility for addressing this issue. The first time this happened, I almost got into an accident pulling to the side of a busy road thinking there were engine problems. My car battery is quite new and has been checked before this issue happened so this is not a battery issue. The reported date is the latest - this has recurred about 4 times now.

For no apparent reason the dash warning lights (forward collision warning, etc.) begin flashing when the vehicle is being driven. When the vehicle is stopped and engine turned off for a brief period and then restarted the dash display returns to normal with the warning lights correctly working again. Has happened 3 times.

All of the lights came on for my vehicle indicating that I have problem in all areas of the car. This is a 2018 Honda CRV. This car is 2 years old and the relay module is malfunctioning. This car is too young to be malfunctioning at this point. Because I am at 37,000 miles, Honda is telling me that I am out of warranty of the car and I would be responsible for repairing the relay module which is a major expense. Again this car is too young to be malfunctioning. Honda needs to repair this car or give me my money back.

I was driving to the store I pulled up and parked reached over to get a mask out and the chime went off. So I looked at the dash and found that the display was saying power steering was disable then the vehicle stability control then the tire pressure monitor then the engine then the brakes and it just keeps chiming in displaying each message for all listed above. I restarted the car hoping it would clear the problem but it did not. Hope the warranty covers it and towing.
