2022 HONDA CR-V HYBRID Unknown Or Other Problems

Hi, I've owned this vehicle brand new, 21 miles. I purchased from the dealership. It now has a blown head gasket at 85 k miles. I've spoken to 3 dealerships that have said this is a common problem. I obviously do a lot of driving early morning and late night. This could have been a big safety issue in the dark. I've done all my services on time and even earlier than needed. I hope you can do research on this. Thank You, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I live in a rural area about 10 miles south of Albany NY. I am retired and am not employed, so most of my driving is done in the daytime. However, last November I was driving home in the dark from a medical appointment. I encountered heavy wet snow as I left a suburban area (Glenmont, NY) where there are street lights on the main highway, [XXX]. My headlights were on and I could see fine UNTIL I left Glenmont, and entered my home area Selkirk, NY. I was still on [XXX], but Selkirk at this point only has street lights at main intersections. The snow had become wet and heavy and it was difficult to see. I realized my headlights WERE NOT ON in this extremely slippery, heavy snow which now was coming down more heavily. [XXX] is a 2-lane NYS highway which eventually turns into a 4-lane highway again with limited street lighting. I drove about 5 miles with the only lighting I had from the pickup truck which was in front of me. There is no place to safely turn off on [XXX] once I am in Selkirk. When I reached my turnoff from [XXX] I was again on a 2 lane, unlit road to my home for approximately 2 miles. How I got home safely was short of a miracle. My car was only a year old at this point. Honda will do nothing about this. I paid short of $45,000 for this Honda CRV Touring model. I tell everyone I know NOT TO BUY A HONDA. The dealer doesn't stand behind their product nor does the company. This is the first and only Honda I have ever owned. I also had a problem with my car battery this year. The car at that point only had 9,000 miles on it. Four times I tried to pull out of my garage an my battery was dead. I had to call my husband to come home from where he was each time because I had important medical problems. I have [XXX] and [XXX] and each of my appts were related to one of these medical conditions. AAA was called 3 times and we were told we would exhaust our 4 road calls if we called them again. My husband went to the dealer with my car b INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U

I received a recall notice in January 2024 from Honda informing me of a safety recall. My vehicle is under recall because “The 12 battery cable harness does not contain a fuse on the positive power circuit……….” I have contacted my local Honda dealer 3 separate times since January and each time I am told that there are no parts available, and that my name is on their waiting list to be repaired as available parts come in. I’ve complained that 6 months is excessive to have to wait for a recall repair part. The Honda dealer, in this case, Barber Honda in Bakersfield, CA, says that there is nothing they can do but simply apologize on behalf of Honda. It is completely ridiculous!

I didn't even receive this notice from Honda.. I got an email from Carfax that I have a recall. NHTSA: #23V-844 Recall: #FGB 2020-22 CR-V Hyb 12V Pos. Battery Cable Safety Recall. This recall is from Jan. 9, 2024. This is what scares me. If the vehicle is involved in a crash to the left front fender area under certain circumstances, a short circuit to the power circuit can occur and the battery cable can overheat, increasing the risk of a fire and/or injury. All the Honda dealers say there is a backorder for these parts, and in the meantime, I'm afraid to drive my car because I'm at risk for possible injury. What is the recourse here?

I received a recall notice in December 2023 and took my car to the dealership (Northside Honda in San Antonio, TX) the following week on [XXX]. I was told parts weren’t available yet and to wait “a couple months” before trying again. I scheduled another appointment with the dealership on [XXX], but was again told it’ll be “a couple months” before parts are available. I’m now scheduled for mid-April 2024 but feel unsafe driving my vehicle for several months with a known safety issue. I don’t have another vehicle I can use in the meantime.

We received a Important Safety Recall Notice from Honda regarding this vehicle. On February 26, 2024, we called the service center at Honda of Kirkland, where we purchased the vehicle. Honda of Kirkland is located in Kirkland, WA. We were informed that the earliest the service center at Honda of Kirkland could remedy the recall related to the 12-volt batter cable harness, which increases the risk of a fire and/or injury in a crash, was July 31, 2024. This is 156-days after we first contacted Honda of Kirkland for a repair appointment. We wish to file this complaint against Honda of Kirkland, so we can get an appointment within the 60-day window stated on the Safety Recall Notice.

Doors locks malfunctioned intermittently as it doesn't lock and a beep goes on. One has to re-opened the door for the door to lock permanently until you need to get back into the car. The problem occurred from December 1 2022 to April 15 2023. It could be any doors. It is a safety issue for myself and others. I brought the Honda Touring several times to the Honda dealer and they claim it could not be reproduced. However I have multiple tapes to confirm the problem. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I bought the car at Auto Fair New Hampshire and the problem started after December 2022 till April 15 , 2023. Then it completely stopped . I brought up the same concern to Honda Auburn and Customer Service Honda with video tapes and it got nowhere. The same problem started again on November 1, 2023......

Overnight on August 14 - 15th, 2023, it rained heavily in my area (at least 1/2"- 1" of rain fell overnight). I went out to my car at 11:30 AM on August 15,2023, to find all 4 windows AND the moonroof opened. The inside of my CRV Hybrid touring vehicle was saturated deep with water. I took it to the dealership (Motorworld in Wilkes-Barre, PA) to have the vehicle checked for a computer type malfunction. No codes were retained in the vehicles memory. I was informed that Hondas now have a key fob feature that will open all the windows and moonroof IF the buttons are pushed in the proper sequence. I read the entire 689 page owner's manual when I purchased the car new in October, 2022, 2 sentences on page on page 183 briefly mention this "feature" to let hot air out of your vehicle. (Press door unlock key one, press and hold door unlock button again and hold it within 10 seconds, and press it again and hold it within 10 seconds and your windows will all come down as well as moon roof open. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE. I do not play with my key fob, no children in home. All the seats, roof, and floor are supersaturated with rain water. This water situation can cause MOLD, just as if the car was in a flood, which can be extremely dangerous/ lethal to a person like me with respiratory issues. Also, electrical components may have been damaged because of a huge amount of water. Honda was notified and they said, call your insurance company and file a claim. The problem it caused me needs to be rectified by Honda and made right by them to me. Of note, the car nor the fob notifies the person that all the windows and moonroof were completely opened. So much damage occurred. Rain water also entered the heater/ AC ducts. Stagnation can lead to mold growth in them.

My SUV's Moonroof glass "exploded with a big loud bang" while driving at about 65 miles per hour in a central lane on March 16, 2023 at about 8:00-8:30 pm. My home was about less than 1 -1/2 to 2 miles away. I parked my car at the garage and noticed the my moonroof glass had completely shattered. My SUV had less than 4000 miles on it and still is under manufacture's warranty.

In April 2022, my dad purchased a brand new Honda CRV 2022 hybrid touring edition. This car was deemed as one of the safest cars on the market and was his main intent while buying it. A couple of weeks ago this car was the prime suspect of a fire that impacted both the car and our house. Let me break down exactly how this occurred and where the blame should fall on this situation. When I was slowly backing out of my garage, I noticed that my car was not straight and that I needed to turn my wheel in order to straighten it out. When doing so, 3/4 of my car made it out of the garage, even the side mirrors. However, the area on the top left on my wheel scratched the side of my garage. When this occurred, I did not think much of it since scratching cars is not that uncommon, especially when reversing. The worst that is expected to happen is chipping of the paint and a minor dent. But when I got out of the car to access the situation I noticed that smoke started releasing out of the area of the impact. By the time I called my dad, a little fire was also present at the area of the impact. He advised me to go inside the house and use water or other resources in order to try putting out the fire myself. So I went inside and by the time I got back, the fire had greatly increased in size. This all happened in a matter of 2 minutes! I quickly called 911 and 2 police cars came as soon as possible. The officers tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher but there was no luck. The flames have already started making its way up the side of the garage and engulfing some of the sidings. After a while, the fire department put out the fire. How can a scratch of 2-inch depth, 4-inch width, and 6-inch height cause immense damage to a car and a house! Honda needs to consider this when reviewing the architectural design of its battery position. This is a serious safety flaw that could jeopardize many lives. I was grateful that the fire did not impact me but I fear for others.

I was going south bound up a hill. Less then 20 mph and was blinded by the sun. The old folks in front of me were also blinded by the sun and stopped in the middle of the hill. My automatic emergency braking system did not kick in and I ran right into them. We could have been hurt. My car is being fixed in a collision repair shop now.
