I have 2019 CRV and I recently brought to dealerships for radar sensor replacement due to intermittent. About a month later now it picks up signals or objects then automatically brakes even with nothing in front of the car (ie. No obstacles in front of the car or objects). A person behind me honked the horn and about to hitting me from behind. I just talked to Honda dealerships and they have no idea how to correct the problem. This has occurred about 3 or more times now.
On February 29, 2020, I was pulling into a parking spot at a nearby park at a low rate of speed. I began to apply the brake to stop the car. As I applied the brake, the car rapidly accelerated with smoke coming out of the steering column. I continued to put my foot on the brake to stop the car, but it continued to accelerate. I steered the car away from a small lake but smashed into a pine tree. The airbags deployed and the seatbelt worked. I received trauma to the chest by the airbag. I was taken to the hospital for evaluation and then released the next day. The state trooper confirmed that the engine was revving when he restarted it. This Honda CRV received a recall notice in July, 2019 concerning a problem with the wiring harness and steering column. The parts did not come until September, 2019 and I then brought the car in for the repair. The parts were replaced. Five months later the accident occurred with only 6,800 miles on the car. I went to speak with the manager at the Honda dealership about the incident and his attitude was polite but totally indifferent. He indicated that the dealership only sells cars, but he did not take responsibility that the dealership also did the repair on this recall. I left there with no satisfaction at all. The Honda CRV 2019 is currently under investigation as to the cause of the acceleration problem. This was my first Honda and my last.
This happened in my driveway, where we have lived for over 25 years. The wiring used for the main harness is made with a soy base product. Not only mice or rats, squirrels and other animals can smell this out and destroy the wiring. I was told that one man has had his main harness replaced 3 times. If a soy based product is being used, then the repairs that will be needed over and over from rodents should be covered under a warranty for wiring for the entire life of the car!! this harness goes to control all of the information that is in the cars computer system. I am an elderly disabled senior on a fixed income. I can not afford to buy this car and then turn around before it is even a year old to have to fork out $1400 for a new wiring harness, you knew this would happen, but did not care!!! therefore your product is highly defective!!! I will never buy another Honda car and I will definitely promote the problem of the wiring info to inform others not to purchase these vehicles!!! the poor service that you have given customers concerning this is totally wrong!!!!! by doing this they are creating a completely different problem. Mice, rats and rodents carry all kinds of diseases and by enticing them with soy based wiring, you are causing another problem that could be much worse for your customers, if they were to be bitten by these rodents!!!! why don't you people think about what would be worse, the environment or dead customers and the lawsuits from that!!!!
We were driving a CRV which is less than 6 months old. All of a sudden all safety systems failed. The breaks system, colliosion avoidence, lane assist, acc. All failed. Fortunately we were at 20 mph so we were able to safely stop the CRV. We towed the CRV to the dealership and they after 4 days were able to figure out that all the safety systems had failed as there was an electrical shortcurcuit which has blown the fuses and the control system. The cause of the electrical short was traced to exopsed wires in the rear view mirror assmebly which were damaged by an ornamnet we had hung. The reason I am complaining is I want to bring it to your attention of this manufacturing defect. 1.lot of people hang ornamnets/ car freshner etc and this defect can cause a very serious system failure with all safety systems failing when the CRV is in motion. 2.this CRV is less than 6 M old so it also indicates to the poor designand manufacture. 3. CRV is one of the most popular SUVS sold in usa so lot of people are at risk. 4. the design engineer knew the importance of these wires so have a protective rubber insulation but the insulation leaves a gap where the wires are exposed, and can be damaged. I have dramatic video showing this incident when we were drving and the exposed wires, the short cricuit damage and the ornament that they are blaming for this incident. I have the video that I could not load in this complain as the sytem would not allow it to be loaded, but I would be pleased to share if needed.
Mitigation warning came on multiple times when I was driving in rainstorm on turnpike and made comment that collision warnings not available dealership told me that I need to turn system off when it rains or snows this doesn't make sense to me as this system is for safety the never occurred with my previous CRV

Car display unit is overwhelmed with warning lights that stated the collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, and adaptive cruise control all have problems. It happens frequently when starting the vehicle and also while in motion.
On Saturday, February 16, 2019 while driving on a clear afternoon, we went onto the entry ramp for the highway to rt 95 S. the ramp was not straight and had curves. When an attempt was made to apply the brakes to slow for the first curve, they did not respond as they should, they pulsed and locked. At the same time, the digital dash began displaying multiple warnings of systems not functioning including brake, emergency brake, transmission, power steering, tire pressure, lane assist, cruise control, hill assist, , etc. With difficulty we were able to pull onto the grass shoulder of the highway, there was not a breakdown lane in view. We tried shutting the car off and restarting, and the warnings persisted. I contacted Honda assistance and they sent a tow truck. The tow driver stated he had difficulty loading the car because of the brakes being locked. At the Honda dealership, they also could not release the brakes to off load the car.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle shook, vibrated, and began to decelerate. Also, the electric parking brake, transmission, brake system, brake hold, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation system, blind spot information system, and auto high beam system warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 800.
