While driving onto a highway, 55 degrees and partly sunny out, approaching the on ramp to 95, we heard a loud POP like a gunshot out of no where and then we were covered in shattered glass from the sunroof. Glass everywhere, all over the driver, passenger and 3 children in the back seat. No other vehicles, trucks or over pass near by and nothing hit the car. After making it home with a tarp on the car, I brought it to the local Honda dealership. Honda does not see this as an issue with their sunroof and will not cover the glass or the cost. They said this never happens and it would not just -??shatter-?? by itself.

The power to the car can be turned off while the transmission is in drive. I believe that the power button should only work when the car is in park. When the car was pulled into a driveway and still in drive, the car was turned off accidentally without shifting to park. The driveway is on a slight decline so after the car was left on its own it started rolling down the incline into the street. I have not reported this to a dealer as I wasn't sure where to report it.

2019 Honda CR-V, The Info-Tainment panel for the Radio, A/C, etc, goes dark randomly and returns randomly. There is no pattern, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. The rear camera is also affected if the car is in reverse. Have had the car about 4 years and started doing this two weeks ago. Thank you.

Oil dilution problem with fuel. This is a known issue with the 2019 Honda CRV. I bought the vehicle new in August 2019 and had to change the oil 8 months later because the oil level had risen well above the maximum mark on the dipstick due to fuel contamination. I currently (2/10/2023) have to change my oil 3 times per year so that it doesn't get to diluted so as to cause excessive engine wear. I drive less than 12,000 miles/year.

The display audio screen dims and brightens by itself and starts changing screens, channels, and beeping obsessively. This is very distractive to the driver and pushing buttons on the screen to try and make it stop does nothing and could very easily cause a wreck from the distraction of the unit beeping, changing channels, randomly calling people and flipping screens. Honda acknowledges this issue in Service Bulletin 19-066 which I don't think owners should have to pay to have fixed and should be a recall.

My sunroof exploded as I was driving down the highway yesterday evening. It was sunny, and I was not driving under an overpass, and there were no vehicles near me. I did not see an object hit nor was there anything on the roof or in the hole. Just lots of shattered glass.

I was opening the hatch to my CRV, and it just slammed shut. The hatch strut started leaking fluid, and it almost slam down on my head which would-??ve been a pretty serious injury had it hit me. My vehicles only three years old and I don-??t even use my hatch that often so I believe that it is gone bad

For the 4th time in a year and a half, my CR-V has failed to start. I've had it in for dealership servicing twice on this issue and even replaced the battery at their recommendation. It did not fix the problem and they have since told me that they can't identify the problem and said it could be with the computer system (I did purchase an additional warranty for the computer system). In addition to the car failing to start and needing a jump start, the dashboard will start beeping and go blank, or flash a warning message that does not fit the situation. I consider this situation to be a safety issue as it leaves me without a reliable car for travel due to the uncertainty of being able to start the car. The latest episode was today and it was 88 degrees out and I had my 91 yr old father and my dog with me. Waiting for assistance in the heat was very hard on them. My father felt sick due to the long exposure to heat.

Driving on road and all of a sudden the car seemed like it was braking. We have don't automatic breaking. The dash lights came on. Engine, steering wheel !, traction control, brake system, and blinking brake light. The last few days it was taking more cranks, this started happening after a new fuel pump was installed last month. This was because of a fuel pump recall.

While driving, when using the radio or GPS, the display on the center console will intermittently go haywire. Display will turn on and off, loudly beep, screen will go blank and then turn back on unexpectedly, brightness adjustment bar appears on screen. There is no control over these problems except having to stop the car and turn it off fo a couple of minutes. Very distracting and dangerous while driving.

I-??m have problems with all the warning lights coming up on the dashboard. First time it happened I thought it was the brakes. They fixed the brakes. It happened a couple more times I turn it off and on and it was no problem. But one time it came on again but this time the car went slow I took it to the shop they fixed fuel pump and fuel filter set. I thought everything was good until it the warning lights came up again, so I went to get a new battery. New battery is in but a few hours later the warning lights popped up again. Luckily I haven-??t been in a accident. But sometimes it-??s scary driving the car and the warning lights pop up again. Every time I go to the dealership they said it a good to go.

Overview: On July 4, 2020 my SUV rolled backwards on a slight incline when the start button was pressed to turn it off while in drive position causing a broken ankle, multiple abrasions and back pain. Details: I drove my SUV onto a driveway with a slight incline. The SUV did not roll forward because of the incline but after stepping out of the vehicle I realized that I had not turned it off. I turned back around while standing next to the SUV and pressed the button to turn it off not realizing the car was in drive. It immediately started rolling backwards (downhill), knocking me to the ground and dragging me since I was caught under the door. The driver's side wheel either went over my foot or dragged it (not sure which since at that point I was afraid for my life). It broke my ankle and tore away the skin in the ankle area. When it finally stopped, I was able to roll away and cry for help. This incident caused a broken ankle, multiple abrasions on my body and damage to the muscles in my back causing a very painful rib cage. These injuries required immediate and ongoing physician care and physical therapy. I truly believe that there should be a safety feature that does NOT allow us to turn the car off while the vehicle is in drive. It was something that was part of the older key start/stop vehicles. I believe that I read that some of the other manufacturers were dealing with this problem so don't know why Honda hasn't addressed it. Why is it not standard on all the new keyless push button vehicles? I know I'm not the only one who had this problem because my orthopedic doctor told me another of her patients sustained injuries with a roll back. Thank you for your time.

The passenger and driver doors do not line up to the body of the vehicle which is causing the paint to chip when the doors are opened and closed. The weather seals on the doors are rolling as a result.

Driving on the freeway and sunroof glass spontaneously exploded. Was not going under an underpass and there were no other cars around. Moderate temperature outside and I was not running the heater or air conditioning (if that matters). Shade was pulled back, so I was showered with glass from the explosion. It is available for inspection upon request. Glass went everywhere. Luckily my family wasn't in the car with me, including my 4-year-old son. His car seat had a bunch of glass in it which would have hit him had he been with me. I am still waiting for a call back from the dealer. No, it has not been inspected yet. This happened yesterday, which was a Sunday, so nobody was open. I did call my insurance and am waiting to hear back. There was absolutely no warning before the glass exploded.

On 4/6/2021 we were traveling on 580 in reno aprox. 60mph no cars in front or sides of us but one truck behind us. Nothing such as a sign or bridge over us and no road construction in that area. There was a loud explosion sound and glass raining down on both sides of our CRV. We first thought was there a plane flying over that lost something? our sunroof literally exploded. Glass flew out like an explosion hitting the truck behind us. If we would have had the interior sunshade open we would have wrecked the car due to the glass that flew about. We then went to Honda to see about it. They said something must have hit the glass. Nothing hit the glass. The glass exploded outward. The sunroof on this vehicle was obviously defective. We have placed a claim with our insurance and are having it fixed. This is a very dangerous situation that I have since seen many others have experienced but the car companies do not want to admit to. I'm hoping this very dangerous situation will be looked in as soon as possible.

In car mounted screen for radio etc randomly changes while driving. From brightness off and on and darker to volume changing on its own. Only way to stop it (sometimes) is to turn off and turn back on the vehicle. Blind spot sensors also go out randomly sometimes because of weather other times (rarely, but still happened) randomly while driving.

While driving down the highway at 65 miles an hour the sun roof suddenly exploded. There was no traffic close enough to have tossed up a rock. We immediately stopped to see what was wrong and discovered a large part of the sunroof was missing. A small amount of glass fell onto the sunshade which kept it from hitting me in the face. The rest of the glass scattered in the wind as I brought the vehicle to a stop. Fortunately no motorcycles were behind me or someone would likely have gotten hurt. No glass in an automobile should shatter this way it is dangerous both for the occupants of the vehicle and for those following.
