problem #10

Mar 272019

CR-V

  • 20 miles
When vehicle is idling every few moments I hear a single whistle or whine noise. It happens randomly. We originally thought it was audio feedback from our phones or radio feedback but it's not as everything is off and it still happens. It sounds like it's coming from the front right of the CR-V.

CR-V

  • 450 miles
Brand new vehicle with barely 450 miles turned off out of nowhere. All possible dashboard faults were displayed and car wouldn't start. Brakes got locked at some point and couldn't push car away from road. Many customers have already encountered this issue and Honda is aware but claims that they dont have any bulletins or recalls. It is a safety issue to be driving this car. Car has been at the dealership for 3 days now and mechanics/technicians can not find the problem. Honda dealership where vehicle was purchased shows lack of interest on helping me. Honda dealership where car was taken keeps working on the issue. Vehicle wont start. Three days at the dealership now.

CR-V

  • 2,000 miles
The 2019 Honda CR-V touring vehicle has experienced gasoline contamination of the engine oil due to an issue with the engine design. The abnormal levels of gasoline contaminates has been validated through a third-party lab test. The degradation of the lubricating properties of the engine oil results in engine performance and in-cabin air quality issues. The vehicle has been taken into the manufacturer's service department, however, they have indicated that there is no fix for this issue at this time unless you live in specific states where the fix is being offered. This is a known international issue with this vehicle type and Honda has acknowledged that this is a problem. Some reports indicate that consumers have experienced severe vehicle performance issues (I.e., stalling) as well as health related issues due to super strong gasoline odors in the cabin of the vehicle. The reduced lubrication quality of the engine oil due to the engine design issue has long-term performance indications.

I have 260 miles and my car started to flash like christmas tree all the dash-board warning lights and engine was shaking. Lost traction and it's a AWD and it was turning off every block. I was driving in the street. It was also smelling so bad worse then burning.

CR-V

  • miles
Driving and the anti-collision activated and stopped the car. No cars around and no obstacles in the road. The display screen indicated a problem with the system but when I took it to the dealership, nothing was in the computer that indicated something was wrong (see pic). Even after the pic was shown to the dealership service dept they said the same thing- nothing was wrong with the car. The car was driving at a slow speed on an on-ramp with no car or obstacles in front of it. Who would have known what would have happened if it occurred while traveling at a higher rate of speed with traffic or going down a curved hill.

CR-V

  • 60 miles
I was stopped in cambridge in front of the mos pending a red light change and despite having the brake fully compressed the car moved forward slowly approx 3-6 feet into the car in front of it. There were no lights or warning. I had no control over the car. The car had less then 100 miles on it and there was no prior indication that anything was wrong.

CR-V

  • 99 miles
Purchased 12/28/18. After driving home from dealer(60 miles) car was not used for 2 days. Tried to start car and battery was dead- totally drained. Called roadside service who started by quick charging battery. Brought to dealer who installed trickle charge on battery and told me to plug in car each night to avoid battery drain. They had also changed to a new battery. After first battery failure 5 additional times it failed. Dealership thinks a Honda America will issue a corrective service bulletin during March 2019. Also, dealership is aware of 4 additional 2019 crvs with the same problem.

problem #1

Jan 162019

CR-V

  • 150 miles
I noticed gasoline smell inside the car during driving, the car had 150 miles took it to the dealer of Honda on January 16th the service manager examined the car told me there was gas in the oil, and to return back if the oil increases, and affected the drivability and engine light turns on. He refused to give me paper work of the visit or copy or the report paper he had in his hand, I went again asking about that visit paperwork he said he ran some test on the car and there is no paperwork I reported the case with Honda. This is a safety issue the oil diluted with gas and the level goes high then the car can install on road
