Our 2019 Honda CRV was purchased in December of 2019. The battery had died 3 times and had to be recharged by the dealer. The Honda dealer refused to replace the battery and could tell us why the battery keeps dying. The car is driven every day and the lights are always turned off automatically at night after driving. Please investigate the problem as we have found out on the internet that other people are having the same problem with their 2019 Honda CRV.

Vehicle keeps gaining oil level from burned fuel even though the dealer installed the software update. I live in the South so the cold weather is not the issue. I am an industrial mechanic for 47 years and do my own maintenance so I know what the correct level is. The dealer says there is no fix but diluted fuel leads to damage and if severe, can cause engine failure and accident. The image posted is about 7K miles on oil change and the level is above the level marker pad. The second issue is the electronic display fails to function which allows access to vehicle information and control access. The dealer replaced the unit but this issue goes back to 2016 and so far, do not know if the replacement will solve the issue since it was replaced with a remanufactured part, not new. The dealer replaced the unit really not telling Honda the truth about the failure type, they said it was sound system issue when they knew for a fact there was none as I gave them a video and a letter describing the issue. One part is 1000 dollars and the other 1800 dollars, a stiff cost when warranty runs out. Their fix is an extended warranty at a couple of hundred a month. A win win for them and a loss to the consumer. The failure was sporatic and happened driving or parked. The failure date is just for the electronic part but oil issue has been from the beginning.

Car idling, outside air temperature not registering. Dealer found "codes B1227 open in the outside air temperature sensor, C0051-54 steering angle sensor learning incomplete, other areas harnesses damaged insulation and tubing, ...". entire main electrical harness had to be replaced. If I had been on the road, could a safety feature have been compromised? problem attributed to rodent damage, yet car was parked in the same place as a 2013 Honda Accord, which I traded in to get the subject vehicle, for six years. This new vehicle is 11 months old and has 2695 miles on it. The dealer did not consider this as a design defect.

  • 28,230 miles
At 28,230 miles the car began having difficulty turning the engine over during start-up. The dash lights flicker, the brake pedal kicks back at the driver, and it struggles to start, taking 3-4 turns before the engine starts. This happens when the car is parked, and is in the off position. Anywhere from a cold start. Subsequent (immediate) turn offs and turn one are easier.

On July 25, 2020, when driving down the interstate, using google maps gps for direction on apple carplay, the display all of a sudden started beeping and flashing different screens. The screen brightness changed as well as the display. Nothing was being touched. This went on for at least 4 minutes until we had to pull over and shut the car off in order to stop the beeping and screen flashing. The passenger has a video of the screen flashing/beeping and proof that no buttons were being touched that we can share. It was extremely distracting and was very dangerous. I believe this incident also re-set the lane keep assist and automatic cruise control notification settings. On Wednesday, August 7, 2020, the incident occurred again driving on a different interstate when using apple carplay for google maps gps. The brightness indicator flashes, the screen changes brightness, and changes screens without prompting. There is no way to stop it unless the car is pulled over and turned off.

I have had this car 4 months and we bought it new. Twice the infotainment system has gone crazy as we were driving. It began to flicker and panel kept flashing lines and format wording while making beeping noises. Also 3 times the automatic braking system has tried to stop the car for no reason, one nearly causing the car behind us to rear end us.

The sunroof and all the windows opened on their own during the night. This is the third time this has occurred, luckily the vehicle was parked in the garage each time. I blew it off the first two times thinking I must have hit something on the remote, but I see this has happened to someone else. I have a silicone cover over the remote now so I don't think I am causing this. I always close all the windows and turn off all accessories before turning off the vehicle so this gets easily noticed. This could be a real problem if it happened outdoors with inclement weather or if packages were left in an otherwise locked vehicle.

Windows and sun roof open by themselves. This has happened 3-4 times over the last 6 months. If it happens in the garage is one thing, but if the vehicle is outside during a rain storm or in a parking lot somewhere unattended this occurrence could result in damage or theft. This happens at night when vehicle is unattended parked.

When I got in my car at walmart and started the engine all the sudden the brake system warnings come on the dash and also I could night shift the gears. I was not able to move the car at all and had to call a wrecker to come tow the car to the dealer. The dealer told me they had no idea what was wrong for most of the day. They then called me and asked me did I normally hang my handicap placard on the rearview mirror. I said yes that's where we normally hang out and remove it before we drive it every time. They told me that the handicap placard had damaged the cable on the back of the mirror and had caused the brake system to completely fail and that it was not a warranty problem. I had to pay $922 to get the car fixed. The wiring harness in the roof of the car had to be replaced. We were not even aware that cable was behind the mirror. The problem could've happened at any point while I was driving the car and I would have lost all the braking system for the car if it had happened while driving. I believe this is an issue that needs to be taken up with Honda and other car makers and have a recall to fix the problem so the handicap placard will not destroy the cable.

While driving on a highway the infotainment center suddenly began beeping and turning on and off repeatedly. The brightness control began to beep and turn to a higher setting and then a lower one. No one was touching the screens/controls. I videoed this. Earlier in the month while I was driving and the tire pressure monitor said tires were low but when I measured them, they were not so while the car was stationary, I checked and the message was still there.. before that I had error messages that came on when I parked the car. I got messages about lane keep assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, and collision mitigation system problem and was told something outside the vehicle caused them to go off and it was ok because when I restarted the car they were reset. I am not very savvy about uploading files from my phone to a web site but could email them to an address if you have one to provide.

Windows and sunroof open on their own. Vehicle parked for 2 days in driveway. In middle of night, all windows and sunroof opened during a rainstorm. This is the second occurrence of this issue. First time Sep'19, second time 4/28 or 4/29 2020. Customer case 09867240 with american Honda. They say this is a "feature" that requires pushing buttons on key fob remote in specific order. No buttons were pushed either time. Sep'19 key fob was in pocket. Second occurrence occurred middle of the night while I was sleeping. One fob hanging on hook near back door. Other on my dresser next to my wallet. No possible way buttons could have been pushed in middle of night. Am Honda solution is to get a hardcase for the remote to be sure buttons are not pushed by mistake. Dealer says same thing. Internet postings show this has been happening on many different Honda models for many years and they refuse to take responsibility for the problem. Am Honda also says that the "feature" can't be disabled. My point...if they programmed it into the system, they should be able to program in a "switch" that can be accessed through the control screen. Dealer (williams Honda, traverse city mi) also indicates it is a known problem and they have no way to disable it either, even with their service diagnostic tools. It rained here last night. My car is soaked. The response from american Honda is that I did not have a hard case for my key fob. Even though I was asleep and the fobs were not moved in the middle of the night.

My vehicle was rendered unsafe after rats ate through a wiring harness that disabled safety and emissions equipment on my vehicle. The wiring in the Honda is allegedly coated with a soy based material that attracts rodents. Honda is aware of rodents eating through its cars wiring and offers part number 4019-2317 rodent tape to address this defect after damage has occurred.

This happened in my driveway, where we have lived for over 25 years. The wiring used for the main harness is made with a soy base product. Not only mice or rats, squirrels and other animals can smell this out and destroy the wiring. I was told that one man has had his main harness replaced 3 times. If a soy based product is being used, then the repairs that will be needed over and over from rodents should be covered under a warranty for wiring for the entire life of the car!! this harness goes to control all of the information that is in the cars computer system. I am an elderly disabled senior on a fixed income. I can not afford to buy this car and then turn around before it is even a year old to have to fork out $1400 for a new wiring harness, you knew this would happen, but did not care!!! therefore your product is highly defective!!! I will never buy another Honda car and I will definitely promote the problem of the wiring info to inform others not to purchase these vehicles!!! the poor service that you have given customers concerning this is totally wrong!!!!! by doing this they are creating a completely different problem. Mice, rats and rodents carry all kinds of diseases and by enticing them with soy based wiring, you are causing another problem that could be much worse for your customers, if they were to be bitten by these rodents!!!! why don't you people think about what would be worse, the environment or dead customers and the lawsuits from that!!!!
