*This car was parked in the driveway 2 days without being driven before the following incident* ALSO- there are recalls for this make and model. Honda always said that the recalls do not include my car. Recalls should be expanded to include mine since the car is un drivable at the Honda service center. WHAT HAPPENED: Alarm went off on car in driveway. Horn constantly going off. Smoke came out around steering wheel and inside the vehicle filled with smoke. All lights came on dash. Gears were locked up and had to manually put in neutral to get on tow truck. Car is at Honda dealership in cumming GA. Said I needed steering wheel cable, srs unit, safety restraints unit, & brake boosters. They put parts on. Did same thing to them as it did in my driveway. Horn & smoke & all!! Now they say it needs steering wheel & the harness is on back order until August 28! and that my vin # is NOT on the recall but I believe it should be. This car could have caused a fire and was parked beside my house. My family and I were at risk and almost called police and fire department. Newborn baby, & other family members inside the home. Family members disconnected the battery because horn was so loud. All these repairs are headed towards $9000 & this is insane. This is my only vehicle. I must have transportation!

The passenger side seat weight sensor assembly failed. It is available for inspection. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired by a certified Honda dealer. The airbag light stayed on beginning in December 2023. The SRS warning light came on in March 2024. This defect was subject to a recall of CRV-??s manufactured from 2020 to 2022. We believe the 2019 vehicles were affected also and should have been part of the recall. Honda has recognized this problem and has reimbursed us $800 of the $1758.68 of the repair bill.

When the car turns on, the message of -??passenger air bag off-??. I weigh over 100 pounds and sit properly. When the car was under warranty, I took the car to the dealer for this air bag problem. After waiting over 3 hours, I was told to come back and the part was not available. I thought there was a switch to turn on air bags, but I left the dealer in Avondale, AZ and went home. The problem continues.

  • 178 miles
On Oct 5, 2019, our new 2019 CRV with only 178 miles displayed a dashboard warning - airbag system (SRS) problem while driving.. we stopped, shut off the car and then restarted. Within minutes, the warning reappeared. We returned home and mad an appointment with Honda service for Oct 7, 2019. On Oct 6, 2019, while driving, the warning again showed on the dashboard. When we got to the service department on Oct 7, the warning was show2ing on the dashboard. After the service inspection, we were told the problem was a low voltage code, that it had been reset and the warning no longer showed while the car was at a standstill in the service bay. Within 5 miles of leaving the dealership, the warning reappeared. We returned to the service department and the problem was reexamined. We were then told that the problem was a bad airbag. It would take 4 days for the new bag to get there and we would have to return for the replacement.. we did not get a new service statement printout. The warning again showed on our return home.

Got a notice in the mail early August 2019 for a recall (NHTSA recall number 19V-383). Contacted the dealer I got the car from right away. Said they had no parts to repair it and would call back when they do. I followed up a few weeks later, and said the same thing. Two months now and I've gotten no notice of parts going to the dealer to fix the recall.
