Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Whenever I start my car in the morning or after being parked for hours, the car does not move past 10-15mph even when I step harder on the accelerator. The car will sometimes come to a complete stop in the middle of the road when I step on the accelerator. I have to turn the engine on and off a couple of times as well as drive around slowly before the accelerator will respond.”
NHTSA complaint #11300344, filed 2020-01, 9,500 miles“I had just turned on highway and was accelerating to speed - at about 45 MPH the auto braking engaged fairly sharply and something flashed on dash and beeped (too fast for me to read) and then it stopped. Acc & lkas were on but not engaged at the time. Sunny day and no vehicles around anywhere”
NHTSA complaint #11342623, filed 2020-07, 50,000 miles“I was driving straight in an open street, no obstacles at all. However, my vehicle started beeping and slammed the brakes to a complete stop. I was almost thrown out of my seat but thank god I had my seatbelt on. I checked my dash camera footage aswell no sign of obstacle, nothing at all. I believe its the collision mitigation braking system that got activated for no reason. I have my dash cam footage to support my claim.”
NHTSA complaint #11404062, filed 2021-03, 37,900 miles“I have had an issue with the adaptive cruise control multiple (10-12) times. The CR-V seems to lose the car in front causing it to accelerate (if the person in front of you is going slower than your cruise is set for). Then when it finds the car again and it brakes suddenly. I took the car into the dealer about a week and a half ago complaining. They could not reproduce the issue and sent me along with no fix.”
NHTSA complaint #11195733, filed 2019-04, 35,800 miles“2018 Honda CR-V bought new, only has 475 miles and getting collision mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist problem warning lights are on and we cannot set the adaptive cruise control or use any of these safety features. I've found a blog that has many instances of the same problems and worse to include brake failure. We are taking it to the dealer, brandon Honda, brandon fl tomorrow. This should not happen on a brand new car.”
