This was my first explanation of my cars defect when submitting a claim to Honda through the NCDS. Good morning, I have had trouble with Apple Car Play since I purchased my new vehicle. I called the dealership in November and asked how to fix it. They suggested to try an apple USB/IPhone charger so I tried varies different USB cords and got them to work for awhile. In Jan. 2021 my Apple Car Play just stopped working all together. I would plug in my phone and the car would tell me that this function is not available. Then when I did occasionally get it to work, about 5 minutes into my drive. My touch screen monitor would turn completely black and I wouldn-??t be able to use any other functions, even after turning my car off and back on, the screen would remain black until the next time I drove it. It works for a short period of time after doing a factory reset but only for about 12 hours, then it either turns black or the message -??this function is unavailable-?? pops up and my device isn-??t detected. I can-??t even use the iPod function just to play music, it-??s like it doesn-??t recognize my phone, yet it will charge my phone. It just won-??t recognize anything else. I have brought it into the dealer 6 times regarding this issue before the last two attempts to fix it, I even called apple support as recommended by the dealership. They were aware of the issue and told me to wait until the next update for it to be fixed. So I did... and it still didn-??t work. That-??s when I went in two more times and no one can seem to figure out what-??s wrong. Thank you for your time, I hope we can resolve this issue soon. Have a great day! Cassie I had sent in multiple documents and a testimony explaining my cars defect and due to that defect the loss of use, value and safety to the vehicle. My request to fix this defect was denied. My case manager then notified me to move forward with my case and file a claim through the Minnesota Lemon Law and they recommend also submitting a claim to NHTSA

Unknown: computer touch screen periodically shuts down. It also loses connection for unknown reason with Apple play. I-??ve rebooted the computer and sometimes that helps but not as much as I-??d hope for it to resolve the connecting issue.

After finishing a 300 mile trip, we unloaded the car and parked it. This vehicle is a month old, with 557 miles after this trip. I spent 60 minutes looking for road dings and any scratches. Found nothing! I went back out to be sure we locked and found a 5 inch crack on the right side of the windshield. I spent another 30 minutes looking for a reason/cause. There was no marks on this vehicle when arrived at our destination. And after sitting parked for at least an hour the windshield was cracked. It appears that both layers of glass are damaged!

The tire pressure monitoring system does not work and can't be corrected. It will come on showing a tpm problem. This is not monitoring tire safety. On city streets it will remain correct for several miles. On the highway it registers the tpm problem after two to three miles.

The cabin of my CRV smells nauseatingly like gasoline causing severe headaches. It happens while the engine is running at low and high speeds, and also when the engine is not running. My vehicle has less than 4000 miles on it. I thought this problem was fixed in the 2020 models.

We purchased a 2020 Honda CRV less than two months ago. Since then we have found out that one of the features of the key fob is that if you push the unlock button, then push and hold the unlock button, it will roll down all of the windows and open the moon roof. So if this happens accidentally while the keys are in your pocket or pusre you will get up the next morning with the windows rolled down. This has happened to us multiplel times already with no warning or alerts. The dealer says that this feature can not be reprogrammed. This may not be a safety issue but it is definitely is a security issue if your sits outside in a driveway or in a parking lot. Or if happens when it is raining it would make a real mess of the vehicle.
