I experienced big jerks couple of times and lost the control on the vehicle. Saw error message on the dash board saying 'lost traction and cancelling cruise control'. It was horrific experience.”

NHTSA complaint #11161825, filed 2018-12, 15,000 miles“My car was in motion I was making a right turn into the highway when my car just stopped. I turned it off, when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't. I started to smell something burning. So I just left it alone. Only the lights on the dashboard and the radio turned on, I was able to control the windows. The warning lights that came up were the electronic power steering, charging system, and the check engine lights.”
NHTSA complaint #11205225, filed 2019-05, 37,600 miles“We were traveling during daylight hours, tuesday, 4/28/2020, . Our speed was 35 MPH. Our Honda crv suddenly came to an abrupt stop, the brake warning light came on in the dash and the steering wheel locked up. There was absolutely no traffic or obstacles of any type in our path to cause this. There is some type of faulty sensor causing this and it needs to repaired/replaced. The dealership denies that a problem exists. It is a common problem with crv's, 2017 & 2018 models..”
