This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On 02/12/2016 I was pulling out of my garage and everything was fine at that moment, them I went to turn my 2016 CRV it was only going about 1 1/2 miles per hour, but the CRV would not stop, the car only had 3,924 mile too. So I hit my neighbors garage door and side of her home and the car stop after it went over her foundation of her home. I looked down and saw that I was pressing as hard as I could on the brake but it didn't work. This all took about 20 seconds, to fast. I had the brakes check which mechanically pass all test 100%. but on the electoral did pass. 2 code came up. 1). U300616 - power source failure for ECU (low voltage) for the anti-lock brake and the same code for tire pressure. So it not the mechanic of the CRV it's the ECU box the box which everything goes thru. So it's electrical not mechanical. And you never know when it will happen again. The 2016 CRV should be recalled on the ECU box. I never will drive the CRV again. You could really kill someone. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration should look deep into this and have a recall. I did contact american Honda corporation and they did research it, but I was going on that it was mechanical not electrical. American Honda would help. Something needs to be done, so I hope the NHTSA looks into this.
Rear trunk / hatch will not open when temperatures are below freezing. Has occurred many times. Dealer duplicated the issue and replaced the switch stating that they verified communication was lost to the switch when cold. The issue still occurs even after replacement, but dealer states all they can do is replace again because no recall has been issued by Honda.
Lock-out with key fob inside the car, car was not running, parked at work. The car basically 'locked' me out when I put my purse and keys into the car, opened the hood so I could fill the wiper fluid reservoir, closed the door to get wiper fluid out of the back and the car locked the doors. According to the locksmith that opened my car, this is a well known problem - and not just with Honda cars. Thank goodness I was still at work and in a safe location.

Rodents chewed through the wiring for the electric power steering causing it to fail. Fortunately this happened in the parking lot at the appartment and was able to be manuvered into a safe parking space.
On 6/18/17 pulling into parking spot doing 3 mph car accelerated jumped over concrete sidewalk and hit a brick wall. No brakes worked car struck brick wall and would not shut off. No air bags were deployed but sensor stated air bags deployed after vehicle was restarted. Continuous increase in rpms while driving the vehicle. Previously car was taken to the dealer who stated car was fine and that I had to get used to the transmission. Vehicle also had surging when going downwards on a hill. Vehicle loaded with every safety feature but none worked!!
Electric power steering completely broken, car brought brand new, only 6K miles - owned 6 months. Car completely undrivable. Wires are coated in soy so rodents eat wires, Honda admitted to this happening to many people but will not take fault. Not safe to drive, can not turn wheel. Had to get car towed to dealership, they will not provide rental.
2016 Honda CR-V. consumer writes in regards to vehicle transmission hesitates, fail to accelerate and cut off. Dealership stated nothing wrong with the vehicle/
Ntsb: 2016 Honda CRV: Consumer stated the car will stop while in drive, and it will also keep moving with the engine stopped without someone driving. The consumer stated he was able to bring the vehicle to a standstill on a slop., while the vehicle was still in drive, he was able to press the button to turn off the engine. The consumer stated in doing so, the vehicle could possibly roll away.
The car operates on a keyless ignition, and uses push button start. The issue is, once the car is running, it will stay running without the computer fab key in the car. This is a safety hazard, I can leave the door open and walk out of the car with the key in hand and it stays running, a child or someone can get in the car and shift the gear lever causing serious injury. Also there was no warning when I left the car with the computer key in my pocket and no flashing of lights or blinking or horn noise. This is a violation of the NHTSA laws that no vehicle should be running once the key has left the car. Well this vehicle continues to run without the key in the car, this is very dangerous. The vehicle should shut off after the key has left the car. This push button start is cheap and can cause serious injury. The car should shutoff without the key in the car. I left the car with the door open and key in my pocket, the car failed to shut off because the push button has to be pressed to shut off. The car is suppose to shut off without the key in the car per NHTSA rules and regulations
