2018 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

On December 1, 2022, I was driving my 2018 Honda CRV on an expressway at 45-50 mph when the car's automatic braking system activated the brakes unexpectedly while the vehicle was moving forward. I was driving in the middle lane on an expressway with nothing close in front of me and it happened without reason or warning. My passenger and I were lurched forward. Fortunately, no one was driving close behind me. The dealer has not been notified at the time of writing this complaint.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on two separate occasions, the vehicle abruptly stopped without incident. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where he was informed that unless they could duplicate the failure, they could not determine the cause for the failure. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Round Rock Honda (2301 N Interstate Hwy 35, Round Rock, TX 78664) where the mechanic lowered the braking mitigation system sensitivity. The contact was also advised to turn the braking mitigation system off upon starting the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 14,000.

On 11/30/22 my wife was driving at 32 mph with no vehicles in front, when suddenly, CR-V brake warning light flashed and came to a complete stop. Approx. 20 minutes later vehicle did it again but, this time not a complete stop. Concerned about this happening at higher rate of speed and getting rear ended. Called dealer and no recalls. I have read on internet, other drivers having similar experience with these models. This would be the third time in 6 months that it has happened. No warnings prior to incident happening, just flashing brake warning light with tone.

I was in a parking lot leaving from my job in am. Clear weather 65° As I was driving 7mph the car slammed on the brakea if an object or vehicle was in front of me. No advanced warning s. There was nothing in front of me. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me and twice when my son was driving. His speed was approx40mph and the brakes slammed on with nothing crossing or in front of his path. I currently have an appointment at 1030 this am to take to Honda dealership to get an assessment. This is extremely troubling and dangerous. My daughter is driving with her learners permit in this vehicle. Please fix immediately!!!!

The brake light came on , the seatbelt tightened around my neck and the car just came to a stop throwing my neck forward but there was no car in front of me and no cars on the side of me.

The braking system slowed the car first then came to a complete stop and there was nothing in front of me . Luckily, I was able to really get out in front of the car behind me or it would have hit me in the rear. I took it to the Honda dealership right away & of course since they had no "error code" there was nothing to report I was told but what if I had really been hurt, what then ?? Honda has a serious problem with the brakes on the 2018 CRV. I purchased this vehicle new and I really expect better from Honda but they are not living up to the reputation they've had in the past. I don't trust the vehicle as I never know when it'll do it again.

Complaint I was traveling southbound on Sunnybrook where it turns to W. Amherst around 9 o’clock on Wednesday morning, November 23rd. I was prepared to slow down for the traffic light since I have been to that location so many times. My speed was between 30-35mph. Surprisingly, there was no resistance when I stepped on the brake. I released the brake and stepped on it again. It still didn’t work. My car started sliding and wavering and it hit the right-side curb. It didn’t stop after hitting the curb and I repeated the step-and-release action a couple of times. After the brake failed, I pulled up the parking brake and my car eventually stopped. The brake failed. Luckily, there was no car in the intersection while my car was out of control and sliding. I was in total shock and desperate fear. I was afraid I was going to crash or even worse situation. That extreme short time of emotional rollercoaster was super distressing and I don’t feel safe driving after the accident. I felt even more horrified thinking what could have happened if there were other drivers or pedestrians involved. I was in tears and all shaking. There is a police report for the accident. The police office also stated that “ was able to easily push the brake pedal to the floor”. One more note is that my car past the state inspection on November 17th. My car was later towed to a Honda-certified body shop. The body shop technician also mentioned the brake didn’t pass the test while diagnosing the car. Also, I asked for a copy of the diagnostic report which will be forthcoming as a hard copy. It was a terrifying accident putting my life and potentially other people’s lives in danger. I hope that this report will bring awareness to Honda manufacturers and public safety agent. It should not happen to another driver.

My 2018 Honda CRV has flashed BRAKE on dashboard about 8 times since the last 2-1/2 years. Please note that the vehicle never actually stopped. On November 20, 2022 it even beeped for the first time. And of course all of the 8 or so times that the BREAK appeared on my dashboard, there was no one or anything in front of the vehicle. I took vehicle to Honda of Essex NJ on 11/21/2022 and according to the tech the radar was misaligned (but who knows) I was told to pay a diagnostic fee of $174.19. I have not been in any accident, nor have bumped into anything since I’ve owned the vehicle. I am also aware of the CNN article dated 02/24/2022 involving the same issue and is under investigation by NHTSA. I tried to get reimbursement of the $174.19 from Honda USA but because vehicle is no longer under warranty, I’ve been denied. This is a major safety issue and hoping it will become a recall. Is there anything the NHTSA can do for me?? Please advise. Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Driving at a speed of approximately 30-35 mph over a railroad track, the automatic emergency braking system was erroneously triggered. The vehicle came to an extremely abrupt stop in the middle of the railroad track. The vehicle behind us proceeded to rear-ended us. This is the second time the vehicle has stopped abruptly at a railroad track. The warning messages only appeared at the exact same moment the car stopped, not providing any warning as to what was about to happen. I'm awaiting an appointment for the car to be seen by the dealership for the AEB system, but because this caused a collision I filed a claim on my insurance and the car had to be repaired. This was a safety issue for multiple reasons, including that it caused injury for both the driver and the passenger. It also was a safety issue because it occurred on a railroad track and if the car had not been drivable, or if we had been incapacitated, we could have been killed by the train.

I was driving slowly down the street in my 2018 Honda CRV with no traffic or people in the street in front of or in back of my car. Suddenly, the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged and stopped my car. I began driving again and about a minute later the same thing happened again even though there was no traffic or people in the street in front of or in back of my car. This is a serious safety issue and I am having my Honda dealer inspect the car.

Driving on a highway at approximately 50 mph at night. No other vehicles in front for a very long distance. Our cars brakes automatically engaged (CMBS system) causing an abrupt stop in the middle of the road. Vehicle behind almost rear-ended us, but did not. Luckily, there was no collision or injuries. Do not trust the CMBS system anymore and disable it when driving now.

Abs activated on icy road.brakes failed at next attempt to stop on dry road.no brake response at all. Had to go over curb on grass to avoid hitting car in front of me. No brake warning lights came on.scared to drive car. Have grandchildren I drive to school. Their safety and those of others concern me if this should occur again. I feel lucky that I did not hit a car,pole, or tree when I went over curb and into yard to stop.

On multiple occasions, I have turned off my car and exited my car. The car would then turn back on by itself. Initially the dash would light up and an error message would appear saying key not found. I thought it was my key fob battery, so I replaced the battery and still received the message. I was unable to do anything with my car. This happened on several occasions, but each time it would eventually work. I then noticed that the dash kept coming on. When I would get home, I would park the car in the garage and turn the car off and go inside. I came out and noticed the lights were on and the dash lit up. I turned it off again and then sometimes it would stay off and other times it would come back on and I could not get it to turn off right away. Several times I would go to my car in the morning and my car battery was dead and I had to have my son-in-law jump my car or AAA had to come out so I could go to work. This went on for weeks until I realized it was because the car keeps turning back on on its own until the battery dies. After back and forth at the dealership and replacing other parts they thought were the issue, I am now told it is a faulty Body Control Module which caused my car to turn on in accessory mode. The part is on backorder, so I have had to borrow a car for the past couple months. My daughter has been researching the issue and found this to be a common problem with the car. Battery drain, car alarms going off, not able to start the car, etc. all due to the faulty BCM. I see Honda has had issues with this part on their other cars, but has not issued a recall for the CRV yet. The part is expensive, but because I have 41,000 miles on my car it is now out of warranty. This should be investigated further, as I know I am not the only one experiencing this issue.

The automatic emergency braking system engaged without warning, stopping the car abruptly while I was traveling at 25 + MPH without any hazard ahead and no imminent collision. I was nearly rear ended and have suffered a strain of left thumb which was on steering wheel and will now need to be seen by medical personnel. The Red BRAKE signal came on but the car immediately braked to a dead stop within a second. I am calling the dealer next.

I was driving around 45-55 MPH and the automatic brake indicator flashed and my car slowed to around 5-10mph. There were no cars in front of me and thankfully no cars behind me. Only one car to the left that was passing. Weather was foggy but could still see clearly about a mile ahead.

I was driving to the ferry in Seattle WA about 6pm PST and crossing railroad tracks on South Holgate Road going west between 3rd and 2nd avenue when the emergency braking systems engaged (phantom braking) and immediately stopped the car on top of the railroad tracks. I was moving at relatively slow speed because of the bumpiness of the railroad tracks. I disengaged the transmission from drive to neutral, put my foot on the brake and was able to get the car moving again. Fortunately the car behind me was able to stop and did not run into me.

Hello NHTS, I have been dealing with my vehicle stalling & losing power while driving on the freeway. This is a very dangerous issue with my Honda CRV. I have had this happen several times now and it was reported to Honda. Honda has not yet placed this issue on recall status. This needs to get looked at before someone gets injured or killed.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, without incidence, the vehicle abruptly stopped. During the failure, no vehicle nor objects were nearby. There were no warning lights illuminated nor messages displayed. The contact stated that the failure occurred a second time and the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a software update on the braking mitigation system. The contact was advised to turn the braking mitigation system off after starting the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,700.

The contact's wife owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while his wife was driving 35 MPH, the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) engaged inadvertently, and the vehicle came to a complete stop; however, there were no vehicles nearby. An audible chime was heard, and the message "Brakes" was displayed. The contact's wife depressed the accelerator pedal and was able to continue driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

Car starting throwing all error codes at once. No issues driving, took to mechanic, could not find any issues. Did this 3 times, was advised to see Honda dealer for possible computer system update. Honda said it needs all fuel injectors and fuel joint pipe replaced, due to clogged injectors. No indication of this problem, no fuel loss or engine issues. This is a 2018 with 60,000 miles. Have looked this issue up, found that it is a known issue with Honda. They will not warranty the fix, wanting to charge $1723.08 to correct.

AEB has engaged suddenly multiple times, most recently today, without any risk of collision in front of the vehicle causing extreme hard stops. It has happen both while braking and accelerating causing accelerator to slam to the floor as the braking was unexpected.

All warning lights for all systems go off on dash disabling all systems when driving. this has happened about 15 times in the past 2 years. Never know if the car will react badly when driving due to the warnings. Tried to have dealer look at it but as others have stated in blogs, suddenly goes off the day before you have to take it in and can't reproduce it. Dealer laughed a bit as they said they have not seen it before even though there are hundreds of people online complaining about it since 2017. Showed them video, pictures, etc. They have checked the car over, reloaded software, etc. couldn't find anything wrong or any error codes. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE I BOUGHT IT. At 10k miles, dash started flashing, beeping and wouldn't stop. Had to pull off hwy and restart to get it to go away. Dash goes blank, radio won't work, Sirius XM is not on when I get in car 3 out of 7 days a week. overnight switches to AM. I never listen to AM. Read the blogs and so many people are experiencing this with no resolution or response from Honda Corp.

The contact stated that the vehicle would be towed in the next couple days. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.

The Automatic Emergency Breaking system stopped my car two times when traveling over a steel plate in the road that is there during road maintenance.

My vehicle computer started indicating that there was a critical brake failure and other related safety issues, this started after a brake repair at Middletown Honda. I returned to the dealer and they indicated that it’s the fuel injectors misfiring and need replacement. They also indicated that the spark plugs need replacement. I gave approval to replace the spark plugs and the vehicle ran well until I added fuel to the vehicle. then the problem returned. There’s currently a recall on Honda models 2014-2016 for the fuel injectors and I want this vehicle year to be included. Thank you

while driving with no one around me the vehicle slams on the brakes by itself causing items to slide off seat. other times the collision light engages with no traffic in front or obstruction. afraid to get rear ended on highway as there is no way to tell when this will happen. this has happened multiple times with lite, But first for the emergency braking initiated by the vehicle

On October 10, 2022 I had brake work done and the computer system starting indicating failures. The computer electrical system continues indicating major failures while driving and the messages indicate critical failures throughout the vehicle. The brake fluid was lower than normal and once filled the lights went out. Then on October 20, 2022 the computer began indicating problems once again.

3 incidences of random braking & car suddenly slowing from AEB when riding down roadway & highway. There was no reason because nothing in front of vehicle & no Speeding. It could have resulted in a car hitting me in rear.

Toda la seguridad relacioada al sistema de frenos y la emisión de gases es un problema persistente en el panel del vehículo. Al parecer es un problema común de éstos vehículos según las reseñas que he escuchado y leído de por parte de otros propietarios de éstos vehículos.

Driving at night, in the mist, approx 40 mph on city roads, my collision system flashed and brakes automatically applied. No obstacles were in front of me, and the nearest car was in the left lane (I was in the right lane), about 50 feet ahead. Four lane divided city road, speed limit 40. Not near an intersection. In the nearly 5 years of ownership, I have experienced about two dozen routine flashes of the warning without cause I could see, but never had the car automatically apply the brakes. It has happened particularly in the mist and dark, when the roads reflect lights. I have also had it happen when descending into the I-664 tunnel in the mist. This is the first instance where the car also applied the brakes.

On 3 occasions my CRV has implemented the automatic break system when there is nothing in front of me and no reason to break. Today it happened when traveling 40+ mile an hour and the sudden break caused a near rear collision.

About 2 weeks ago on my way home from picking up my son from football practice there were some metal plates on the road where they were doing construction. It was getting dark and when we got to the plates the "brake" light started flashing and beeping then my car automatically slammed on the breaks scaring both of us. Thankfully there wasn't a car behind us or it would have definitely caused a collision. Last night again on my way to pick up my son (on another rd) I was driving and another metal plate and the same incident happened. This time my dog was in the back sleeping and she flew out of the back seat. Brake light going on/off and beeping and SLAMMED on brakes. Praise Him there was no car behind me this time either. The 2nd was worse than the 1st. I bought my CRV new in 2018. Several times all the dash lights come on but eventually they go off and I have problems with the navigation but this is too dangerous to not address. I'm not sure what to do I've no other car. I'm in a big city. Construction is everywhere and I beginning to become fearful to drive. This is too dangerous and I definitely don't anything to happen to anyone. Thank you for taking your time looking into this. Looking foward to having answers.

Collision mitigation braking system malfunctioned. We noticed alerts from the system when strong shadows appeared across the road such as from an overpass, heavy trees, etc. At first it was the "Brake" alert indicator only, on three known occasions. A couple weeks later, the car activated the collision mitigation braking system for no reason. We were travelling at 55 MPH on a country road with no vehicles, pedestrians, nor animals nearby. As we approached shadows from tall trees, the emergency braking activated suddenly, bringing the car to a complete stop. Thankfully no vehicles were behind us. Vehicle was brought to Honda dealership for service. Inspected the system and told us all components were properly aligned to manufacturer specifications. They were unable to determine why system malfunctioned. They advised "Honda is aware of the problem and working to find a solution." That was in October 2022. I checked with Honda service most recently on January 25, 2023 and they still have no solution. For our safety, we have been deactivating the system each time we drive the vehicle. This safety system not working is a problem, as is having to deactivate it on each drive. They need pressure to issue a recall and identify a solution.

2018 CRV repeatedly had emergency brake amber light go on in the center of the dashboard. It goes on for a few seconds then shuts back off. This has been happening intermittently for the last two months. It has happened in the past(years ago) but there is no documentation of that complaint. Took vehicle to Honda dealership last week. Initially could not find what was wrong. Finally after hours of running tests? It came down to one code and that the issue was the electronic brake booster. The vehicle stayed overnight. After paying a large sum of money, 5 days later, the light turned on amber on the dash again. I called Honda Service repeatedly but could not reach the Service personnel that had assisted me 5 days previously. Finally talked to another service manager last evening at 6:00 p.m. Bringing car in first thing Friday Morning October 21st. One service manager stated that she had not seen this problem before. There are a few incidences that can be found on the internet with what appear to be simple fixes i.e. low brake fluid, air in line, problem with software, problem with a line to the display and still others. The end all was the issue was treated as a safety issue by one ,while another person stated something alluding to if it was a serious safety issue the warning light on the dash would have been red and not amber. In addition, yesterday when the light came on.(after the problem was purportedly repaired) I was doing about 40. There was a brief pause/resistance to the brake as I was slowing. This happened on a main thoroughfare at 0915 a.m. None of this has made ANY sense and I stated as such.

Warning lights for multiple (possibly all) systems begin appearing and all ADAS including traction control is deactivated. The condition clears eventually in its own after fuel up, possibly several days later. Dealership attributes conditions to bad fuel injector with no other fuel related symptoms because the condition includes and engine code for either a faulty fuel injector or fault AC control module.

After work I was on my way home. I was stopped at a traffic light when the light turned green. I came off the brake and began to step on the gas when the car stopped suddenly and a "Brake" light showed on my dashboard. There was nothing in front of my car at the time as I was the first in line. After the car stopped suddenly it immediatly started rolling again and I was able to continue driving as normal and got home safely. Thankfully the car behind me did not crash into me. There was no warning/lights/messages before to signal a problem.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the steering wheel was sticking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times over two years; however, the cause for the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

While on the highway, the car suddenly slammed on the brakes and stiffened the steering wheel. Was a sunny day, passing under a bridge. There was a dark shadow cast horizontally across the road by the bridge. I turned on my blinker to change lanes. A second vehicle approached quickly from the back left hand side. The car suddenly hit the brakes. If there was a car following closely, we would have been rear ended. If my new-driver son had been driving, it could have resulted in a (further and more dangerous) loss of control. The braking was shocking, unnecessary and dangerous and it happened on a fast, narrow, twisting highway through a city. At a minimum, it seems the owner should have the ability to turn this collision mitigation system off permanently. This system is dangerous in its current state.

I was driving along a road when I was suddenly out of nowhere thrown forward as my car beeped and the automatic breaking system kicked in. There was nothing there! No one was driving in front of me. I now have some whiplash which is really unfortunate and I do not trust my car not doing this again with my 10 month daughter in the car. All Honda CRV’s should be recalled. It’s horrific and dangerous! Had this happened on a motorway we would have had someone coming through our back window!

Both driver and passenger day time running lights have burned out. The Honda CR V has 19000 miles on it. Honda did a recall on the Accords for the same issue, why not the CR V and civic that have the same problem.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the steering wheel seized and the vehicle veered into the right lane. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed of an unknown recall for the steering. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a steering recall. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle while driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and occurred at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the steering rack had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to pay for a portion of the repair cost. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

All the warning lights started displaying on the dashboard over the course of six months. One day they would all start coming up one at time, then when I would turn off the vehicle for an extended amount of time, they were no longer there. Finally at my oil change appointment I brought up the issue and I was told it was a fuel injector issue. Apparently they’ve had many CR-V owners come in with the same problems…over $1000 to repair!

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle independently applied the brakes. There was an audible sound heard during the failure. The vehicle returned to normal operation after several seconds. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer, but only an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was sent an email documenting the failure. The failure mileage was 28,000.

Display screen regularly & unexpectedly malfunctions while the vehicle is in motion. During these times, the display screen dims, goes dark, freezes, or goes into full bright mode. This continues throughout a cycle until the can can be stopped & restarted. Also, the windshield continues to crack along the base from side to side without any noticeable damages prior & I continue to have it replaced.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance: Emergency Automatic Braking system engaged while there was no object or vehicle nearby. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who calibrated the brakes. While driving, the brake warning light illuminated. The driver depressed the brake pedal and the warning light turned off. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic who informed her that the brake calibration was working as designed. The contact stated she turned off the automatic braking feature. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal thumping sound coming from the tires. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the tires were cupping, and the tread was deteriorating and peeling. All four tires were replaced. The failure persisted and had worsened. The tires have been replaced four times. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The manufacturer assisted in paying for two tires the first time the failure occurred. The contact stated that the manufacturer then refused to provide any more assistance. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin Number: 20-081. The failure mileage was unknown.

Sep 25, 2022, en route from Columbus, OH to WV our 2018 Honda CRV started flashing a plethora of warnings regarding braking problems, blind spot failure, lane assist failure, collision mitigation failure, and many other driver assistance failures. We pulled off the interstate, into a service station, at the nearest exit. Once the car was stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic emergency brake would not release. We had the car towed to the local Honda dealership in Zanesville, OH. On Oct 3, 2022 the Zanesville dealership contacted us to pick up the car; they had replaced a wiring harness and control module over the rear view mirror. They said the wiring had “melted”; they said they did not have the expertise to resolve all the warnings but that the car could be driven. We picked up the car on Oct 8, 2022. Within 20 miles, the car was not only flashing warnings but also constantly beeping. We made it to Bruceton Mills, WV before stopping for gas. Again, once stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic parking brake refused to release. The car was towed to the I-79 Honda dealership in Morgantown,WV. That dealership has master electronic technicians. That was 2 months ago and the car is STILL there. The dealership has been in contact with Honda, Inc but they simply cannot resolve the electrical problems and are awaiting a Honda field technician to troubleshoot. This was a systemic electronics failure that incapacitated all of the electronic safety features — making the vehicle unsafe to drive.

My vehicle activated the brakes hard on its own with no cars close in front of it. This happened twice in the last month. Fortunately, no one was close behind me! I took my car to my local Honda dealership today. They checked it out and reported that the radar cover was dirty and that possibly caused the problem.
