Paint started peeling 2 months after I bought it from the Honda dealership. I have had 2 appointments with them about it and nothing has been done. No call or email. 6 months into buying the vehicle I was getting onto the highway and my vehicle wasn't excellerating then it picked up. The vehicle does that every month atleast 4 times. Also since I bought this car when I unlocked my doors they lock themselves when I open the door. Takes me 10 tries to get into the car. And if I leave the keys in the car the car will lock it self with the keys in it!

Multiple times per week recently, the car will not turn over when starting the car, while all dash lights light up like a Christmas tree. There is no pattern when it just decides to act up-??recently 2-3 times a week, in the past 2-3 times a month, it seems random. Sometimes, after it will not start and I leave it alone for some time I.e.: 30-60 minutes, and try to start it again, the car starts right up with no issue. This has left this female driver of this 2018 HR-V stranded numerous times. Several times it happened while driving, the car shuts off at low speed, and won-??t start again. It has become a major concern that it can become a death trap. This car has just over 10k miles on it-?? it-??s barely broken in-??.And with brand new battery just replaced !!!!!!

While driving sometimes I would have to step harder than normal on the brakes to get the vehicle to slow down for some reason felt like it wasn't responding well. I feel the fuel pump isn't running properly. When I was at a stop light and even while driving several time I would accelerate and would feel like it wasn't reasoning to me pressing on the gas pedal. Please help get this fixed almost crashed!! Multiple times.

Rcv'd recall notice at end of July for fuel pump module with 'out of specification impellers. Overtime, these impellers may absorb an excessive amount of fuel and deform. A deformed impeller may cause the fuel pump to stop working'. did not receive notification until the end of July 2020 when the recall was set in May 2020. Dealer where I purchased vehicle was unaware of the recall and checked in the beginning of August saying the parts were not yet released by Honda. Finally, on 8/26/20 I contacted corporate who indicated the part had been released a few weeks prior. Dealer put in a new fuel pump which apparently fixes the problem but upon picking it up the inside of the vehicle smelled very strong of gasoline. The Honda mechanic reassured it was just fumes from the repair since they access pump to the fuel tank from inside the vehicle. However, on the roughly 20 mile ride home the smell of gasoline got worse so much that we had to roll the windows down because we were getting a headache and over taken by the gasoline smell. We stopped at a gas station to fill the vehicle tank which was down to about 1/4 tank. When the gas attendant filled the tank all the gas started leaking out from under the car. Car was pushed away from the pump. Gas continued to pour from underneath as a steady stream then after about a half hour to a drip. Vehicle was towed back to dealer who the next day thought the wing nut to hold the pump gasket loosened and assured it was fixed. They filled the tank drove it, said it was fine. I left it overnight, and the next day they checked the vehicle and saw gasoline still was leaking out from an undetermined area under the vehicle. Why was the part not released for so long?Honda repair garage has not yet determined where the leak is and what is defective at the time this is written 3 days after the recall 'repair'

Got the car on October 2017, drove it off the lot brand new is a 2018 car driving to my house the lights on my dashboard lights up breaks, motor, oil, air on tires, all of them light up like a christmas tree, I took to the Honda dealer and the assistant manager reset the car because the service department was closed. A week later the lights came up again. I call them and they told me to bring in the car they don't know what's going on since this is a new car with no recalls. I guess the reset the car again and gave it back to me. December 2017 again the lights came on I called the dealership now I'm worried because I don't want to drive a car where I don't know if my breaks are working or any other part of the car since I'm driving this car every day to work. They told me it was the oil pump they order one and changed it. Here we are on March 26, 2018, and the lights are all backlighting my dashboard there must be something wrong with this car. I am scared to drive this car.
