The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that the instrument panel gauges did not work. There were no warning indicators illuminated before or after the failure. The vehicle was taken to norm reeves Honda superstore irvine in irvine, ca where the vehicle was diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 1,980.

The vehicle does not heat up when idling which mean remote start to clear the ice from the windshield and warm the cabin does not work. Honda told me it has to be driven to produce heat. They've replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system. I have to drive to work down a decline for 8 miles. After 4 miles the engine gauge begins to rise and then by the time I reach 8 miles (bottom of the hill) the engine temperature gauge bottoms out back down to the cold. The heat that may have started how ever feeble is now once again cold. Any ice on the windows is still there because the whole car inside is still cold. If it wasn't for the heated seats I'd freeze to death. The service manager came to take my car one morning and saw this happen. He was told by Honda the engine doesn't produce heat with out a load on it. This vehicle should never have been sold North of Ohio. It is unsafe. I also have a strong gasoline smell in my oil that will soon be taken in for. Also, the safety features all become inactive because of a little rain or snow. The Honda dealer recalibrated them but it still happens. The lack of heat on idle is unacceptable though.

Just as we were approaching the 4000ft descent to the valley floor, the instrument panel lit up with multiple warnings, the first being major brake failure. I stepped on the brake which was first soft, then immediately became hard to press down to stop the car. A small turnoff allowed me to get the car off the highway and stopped. Multiple warnings continued across the screen. Shut off the car to restart the computer, then restarted the car. Same messages. Checked exterior of car, tires, oil. All well. Towed to Honda dealership where it was tested for ebb and esb failure, ECU failure. Electronic booster was replaced and the brake system bled. Honda had the car for 7 days. Yesterday we picked up the CR-V, having been told that it was repaired and ready to go. We drove away, but less than a mile from the dealer/service location, the exact same problem occurred - instrument panel lit up multiple warnings with brake the most emphatic. I was not braking when the warning came, but immediately braked to get off the road. Again the grinding sounds and difficulty pressing hard enough to stop the car. Car is back at the dealer for service. The problem is not fixed and we do not trust any repair at this point. We could have been seriously injured on the mountain highway and are not willing to risk our lives again.

I was driving on a two way street no car in front of me for at least over half a mile and the car abruptly stopped (32 mph to 7 mph) within seconds. There was nothing on the road, clear weather conditions. I went forward and my pursue fell on the floor. Luckily, there was no car behind me otherwise I would have been rear-ended.

Driving highway suddenly car slows and dash reads that all systems- brakes, steering, and, etc failed. Pulled car off road safety. Shut car off.restarted. Problem went away. Checked on Honda owners website. This is an ongoing problem with no fix. Scary when all systems could be compromised

- East Meadow, NY, USA

I don't know where to file this under. The heating system is an absolute joke. I paid a lot of money for this not to be an issue in a brand new car.. not safe in conditions where it's at frigid temps. I have been sitting in my car for a half an hour and it's still not warm. Uncalled for. Something needs to be done.

January 12, 2018 instrument panel went completely dark. (rain related?) drove car through rain, parked and turned car off for a few minutes. When got back in and started car, instrument panel, ignition switch and shift lever lights all off. Econ mode indicator remained on. Fifteen minutes later TPMS indicator came on. Instrument panel unresponsive to brightness control knob or headlight selection. When parked again, all doors did not unlock with driver door opening. January 13, 2018 issues appear to be resolved when car started. All instrument panel lights back on. TPMS reset and did not turn on again. Reported issue on Honda service site.

Vehicle was parked in garage for a few days over holidays. When leaving to meet relatives at a restaurant, the car was completely dead. Battery was at 3.3 volts. Called the Honda dealer and he suggested Honda's free service; also, maybe the car should be driven daily. (?!) I asked if I could remove the battery and charge it with my battery charger. He said that would be ok. I charged overnight on trickle charge. The next day the battery was at 13 volts. I put it back in the car, waited 10 minutes for all systems to boot up and took it for a drive. Seemed alright. Looking online, I noticed a Honda technical service bulletin (17-032) referring to parasitic battery drain and my VIN fit the parameters. I now have an appointment with the dealer to check it out. Surprisingly, the service manager said the dealer had not heard of this bulletin and was not aware of this problem. I had assumed Honda would distribute all bulletins to all dealers, but apparently that's not the case. Hopefully the software updates will fix this problem.

On two separate occasions the "brake" signal displayed and the vehicle came to a sudden screeching and complete stop. There were no vehicles or any other obstruction in front of me and thank goodness no one behind me. I was in motion at a speed of about 20 mph. The sudden and without reason stop jolted me forward without warning and it was very painful. I took the vehicle to the dealer I purchased it from and was told to disable the feature because they were unable to duplicate the fault. The default for this feature is enabled upon starting vehicle. So I must disable the collision mitigation system every time I start the car.

I bought a 2017 Honda CRV touring three months ago. On 11/11/2017, it was hesitating to start. Once it did, all my sensors went off so I took it up to the shop and dropped it off and got a loaner. They assumed a weak battery. On Monday, 11/13/2017, I was informed by the service department that a rat had chewed through my engine wire harness and it was not covered under the warranty. I would have to pay over $1600 for parts and labor. I started to research this issue and can see where it is a known problem. I feel like this is something that should be covered under the warranty and not be able to make money off of people who pay good money for brand new vehicles. It is a safety issue because if you are driving and your car just shuts down, what then??

After driving to local costco about 15 min drive, I parked at tire service center to reinflate tire. Once they helped me, I tried to start car and nothing happens. Costco tire technician looked at it and did not think it is battery issue so I contacted roadside assistance from Honda. It is barely winter and my 2017 CR-V bought less than 2 months ago with 1850 miles does not start. Tow truck driver said he has responded to many issues with battery on new Honda. Car does not start. Can't tell if electric parking brake is engaged or not. Will take it (get it towed) to nearest Honda dealer this morning to confirm and fix all the issues. So I will be late to work today and wasted my Sunday dealing with this too.

Vehicle battery dead after sitting for 3 hours. 3 week old vehicle with 690 miles. Charged the battery and drove to the dealer. The technician checked the battery, charging system and starting system. No trouble was found. I gave a copy of Honda service bulletin 17-032 covering 'parasitic battery draw from the vsa modulator' to the 'service advisor' and asked him to show it to the service manager. The service manager said that my VIN wasn't covered by that bulletin and because what they looked at was in working order they wouldn't do anything else to address the cause of the bead battery. I told them that the issue wasn't addressed and that I will have the vehicle towed to the dealer when it happens again!

Battery drains completely for no reason when vehicle is parked. The first time it happened the dealership replaced the battery. It has happenned twice since then and dealership does not provide a fix.

- San Juan, PR, USA

I understand that Honda manufactured all its cars with soy based insulation on wiring which can attract rats to chew. Obviously, this is a problem. When I called my dealership they wanted about $500 to fix it. I shouldn't have to pay for this problem

Car battery has drained on two occasions. Car won't start. System needs anti theft reset.

- Sammamish, WA, USA

My first problem occurred 3 months after I had my new car(@ 5609 miles)....the first incident came out of the blue - on May 11th, 2017 I used my car at 1 pm and when I tried to leave work at 4:30 the car display flashed a bunch of odd messages and the car wouldn't turn over. It had a dead battery! so an one and a half later the tow truck arrived to take the car to the dealer and I had to get a ride home and to and from work the next day. Honda service called me the next day and said that they charged the car battery and that the cause was a parasitic drain and that I needed to put the electric brake on before I turned off the car. They told me that Honda was aware of this issues and that they were working on a software fix.... well tonight (Friday - Aug. 18th, 2017) as I was about to go out, the car again has a dead battery. Now I'm stuck home until tomorrow when I will have to spend Saturday trying to get the car driveable by Honda. So I have a new car (with 9300 miles) I can't drive!!! what happens if I have an emergency? Honda - if you have a fix (which I see on service bulletin A17-032), when can I get my car fixed so I can have a car I can rely on" when will you list my VIN in your service bulletin A017-032 for parasitic battery draw from vsa modulator????" this is not a good business practice and not one I would expect from Honda!

This incident was 4 months aftwr purchase. I parked a friend's house, and the battery drained over the course of 3 hours. I came out and start the car, and it wouldnt start. The car keep on making this continuous beeping noise every time I open and close the door. It usually only do that if the key isn't near the car, but this time the keys are on me. The trunk will not open no matter what you press. I had to get my friend to jump the car with cables. While I was driving home, it didn't show the normal screen, but it showed some anti theft message. Once I got home, it told me to hold down for longer than two seconds to have the system restart. I did that but nothing happened. I left it over night and it was normal again the next day. Right now, as I'm writing this complaint, there's another problem. An hour ago, I parked at a restaurant's parking lot. I came out 40 minutes later and cannot start thr car. The display in front of me is showing "brake system problem. " I'm waiting the the tow people to tow my car right now. In six months I have experienced 2 major problems which cause quite an inconvenience.

I am listening to am radio. In normal city streets. When I go under a high power line, there is tremendous static noise and radio voice is completely drowned out. It is very loud. I have other cars that does not do this on the same road. I am concerned about this emi interference on the rest of the electronic system. Dealer is not aware of any recall issues and cannot fix. Called Honda.

- Aurora, IL, USA

Brand new 2017 CR-V touring, second night home. Battery completely drained while parked overnight and had to charge battery to start. Took to dealer, who did a battery test and found no issue. There is a Honda tsb campaign, but Honda tells me my VIN is out of range and is not covered -- even though the symptoms are identical. They will not offer service until the VIN is within range. Reference Honda tsb-032 "parasitic battery draw from vsa modulator" Honda America support suggested I report this to NHTSA, for some reason. Stated that if they receive enough complaints for a VIN range it could be expanded. (this makes no sense to me since I was on the phone with them.)
