Problem 1: My car has 30,000 miles but her Honda since it is past the 36 months it is no longer under warranty. Problem 2: I feel this is a safety issue due to the nature of the failure and the consequences of an immediately failure rendering the car undriveable. This is how the problem unfolded. I started the car. Immediately "System failures" started scrolling across the dash system including Power Brake Failure. I called Honda service, explained what was happening, and Per the Honda service representative, I was told I could drive the car in. I explained the car would not come out of park thus I could not drive it. I was then told how to manually get the car out of park to drive it in for evaluation. I put it in reverse to get out of the garage and when I tried to stop the car I and had no brakes or steering. I got the car to stop by standing with both feet and all my weight on the brake peddle. I Had towed on a flat bed tow truck into Ed Napleton Honda. I was told by Honda that they have never seen this system failure without "a rodent being involved" as they chew threw the housing and then chew on the wires causing the electrical problem. After about 36 hours I was called and told that they had to replace the Brake Power Booster sensor, "no evidence of rodent involvement" and no explanation of why the part failed. I was informed that before further evaluation could be done there was no choice but to replace the Power Booster. I was told it would be $2600.00 and that even if it was not the problem, I had to pay for the repair for they could continue the evaluation process. This is 3 X the cost of the part per another source I called. I also feel I could have been killed/injured or killed and/or injured other people on the road if this had happened when I was driving as there was no pre warning of the problem and having the Certified Service Associate telling me to drive the car knowing that I had total system failure's scrolling across my dash.

2017 Honda CRV Touring 19, 647 miles. As I was approaching a red light, I stepped on my brake to slow down and brake for the red light. Upon trying to stop, I had NO BRAKE POWER WHATSOEVER. Having no brake power I could not stop, I did have an accident and hit another vehicle. My vehicle still would not stop as I continued to try and brake. I drifted approximately 1/2 mile from the accident until it fully stopped. My airbag went off and my Honda Link did contact the police and ambulance. I had minor injuries and just went to my primary physician. I do have a police report. At this time it is at an independent collision center, once repaired it will go to Honda for scanning and diagnose. I am told it can be repaired, BUT, who will diagnose why this happened, and I don’t know why automatic emergency braking system didn’t work.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 HONDA CRV LAST NIGHT AND OUT OF NOWHERE, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ACROSS THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING DISABLING TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND EMISSIONS SAFETY, AMONG MANY OTHER ERRORS. THESE SYSTEMS PROVIDE SAFE DRIVING SO THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR USE, AND ALSO FRIGHTENING TO HAVE DEACTIVATED WHEN CRUISING DOWN THE STREET IN DOWNTOWN DENVER, SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. THE CAR HAS LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE WARNING LIGHT ON, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES DID NOT FIX IT AND SO IT WILL NEED DEALER REPAIR. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH 2017-2018 HONDA CRVS AND IS AFFECTING A LOT OF OTHER DRIVERS.

ENTIRE OPERATION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED CAUSING IMMEDIATE VEHICLE FAILURE. UNABLE TO PULL OVER OR MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED WITH NO WARNING. ALL DASH LIGHTS LIT UP/BLINKING. MANY SYSTEM ERRORS DISPLAYED ON MAIN DRIVER SCREEN NEAR STEERING WHEEL. THE SCREEN ERRORS QUICKLY READ THROUGH MULTIPLE ERRORS, INCLUDING POWER STEERING LOSS, TIRE PRESSURE LOSS, HILL CONTROL LOSS, ETC. THE SCREENS WERE GOING SO QUICKLY AND CAR WAS BEEPING LIKE IT HAD LOW GAS. BUT THE ONLY THING WE COULD DO WAS GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE DRIVEN THOUSANDS OF MILES IN MANY TYPES OF CARS AND SITUATIONS AND THIS WAS BY FAR ONE OF THE WORST MALFUNCTIONS WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. IF THERE IS AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM OR SITUATION WHERE YOUR CAR IS BREAKING THEN IT SHOULD SAY PULL OVER IMMEDATELY. IT WAS NO HELP TO FLASH THROUGH AN ARRAY OF FEATURES ON THE CAR HAVING ERROR.

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO- ON 1/27/2021- I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY (WIFE AND TWO TODDLERS) ON HIGHWAY ROUTE 4 WESTBOUND IN NJ GOING ABOUT 50MPH WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN - BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE AND ALL ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I FRANTICALLY TRIED TO BRAKE BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND COULD NOT BE DEPRESSED. I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES CAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS APPROACHING FAST AND THANKFULLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE BRAKES WERE ABLE TO BE DEPRESSED AND I SAFELY PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST STRIP MALL PARKING LOT WITH ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES FLASHING AND BRAKE SYSTEM ILLUMINATED, I TOOK PHOTOS AND VIDEO ON MY PHONE AND JUST MADE SURE WE WERE ALL OK. MY WIFE AND I WERE TOTALLY FREAKED OUT CAUSE IF WE WEREN'T ABLE TO STOP WE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE REAR ENDED THE APPROACHING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US AT 50MPH CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IN THE PARKING LOT, WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON AND THE ERROR MESSAGES DISAPPEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE BACK HOME. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. ERROR MESSAGES HAVE OCCURRED ONCE OR TWICE IN THE PAST IN INCLEMENT WEATHER AND A FEW OF THE DRIVER ASSIST FEATURES WERE NOT WORKING DUE TO THE WEATHER. BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITH BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE / INABILITY TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ALL ERRORS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. IF I BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP I READ ONLINE THAT IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ERRORS THEN IT DOESN'T EXIST. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles.  The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations.  However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury.  The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources.  In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged.  In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.
