When using the navigation the navigation voice volume is too low. causing you to brake when missing a turn. i almost had someone run into the back of the car!

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.)

Current miles = 4k. 1= battery went dead several times, was told update was done because issue w/parking brake circuitry. 2= various driver assist warning lights come on intermittently on dash.-issue not identified nor fixed. (ongoing) 3= recently pulled over by police nighttime-no tail lights, though front lights worked- driver of car was not familiar w/car- police fiddled w/ lightswitch got them working told driver to take it to dealer-no ticket issued. 4= noticeable lack of acceleration, fuel odor about vehicle, also sulphur smell after driving, heat does not warm cabin, nor defrost.defog windshield properly, oil black and overfull. oil changed, issues reoccur within a few driving miles (50-100). one dealer blames the other, honda says they didn't know of issues, dealer finally confirmed gas in oil. again-there is only 4k miles on this 'vehicle'. all these issues relate to safety, either to anyone inside the vehicle or others on the road. i have no confidence in driving this (paying more attention to cluster,driving subtleties etc than traffic), and am very upset in paying the payment each month while hearing the 2 dealers blame each other, and while honda shrugs their shoulders. i am taking it, once again, to the dealer this saturday for an 'update' to the software-per honda case mgr naomi xt 87075. documentation can be provided on request-- i am out of time and patience. there are many more people with these documented issues on this vehicle than are being reported here- (see google and social media). i dread having to drive it saturday nine miles to the dealer. this is the top selling car in its class-- there is a major problem being driven daily on the highways of the usa. my issues began april 2017 (purchases 3/30/2017) and have been ongoing through dec 2018. please help!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. while the vehicle was parked, it failed to start without warning. the failure was persistent. the vehicle was towed to a local dealer (robertson honda 5841 lankershim blvd, north hollywood, ca 91601), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 1,200.

Engine light came on and message said emissions system problem and the headlights got high and then low and then high and then low. i brought the car to a honda dealership said that rodents chewed the engine main wiring harness and would cost $1,000 to replace. if the wiring harness in the engine is not protected that could easily start a fire after it has been chewed by rodents. i do not understand why this harness is not protected against rodents. i live in a condo with a private parking spot. i have been here 17 years and never had this problem. i bought the car a month ago. it is possible it could have happened at the honda dealership but no way of knowing. the bottom line is the car should be recalled and the wiring harness covered with a protection of some sort. i am retired so i hardly use the car. it is parked most of the time in my parking spot.

Oil dilution diagnosed by dealer after multiple visits, no heat in cold weather, displays and audios going haywire while driving, stalled 6 times while backing up on different occasions, safety features not working properly while driving i.e. alerting that a car is next to you while driving city and country, no alert or driver assist safety feature when a car pulled out directly in front of me crossing traffic when antilock brakes worked properly and got stopped within 3 feet of other vehicle, car locked me inside after driving to work.....i have available videos of many of these issues available and they've been forwarded to honda case #08447969 and the dealership. also finally have documentation from the dealer diagnosing the oil dilution. they told me to drive the car and bring it in every time the dip stick goes above the fill line. no other issues were addressed and show as undiagnosed

The vehicle is provided with a bluetooth capability to provide safe hands free use of a cell phone. however, within a minute of initiation of the bluetooth with a standard android phone (samsung) the system self disconnects there-by rendering the hands free capability non operational. the problem occurs whether moving or stationary. both the dealer and honda factory representative can not diagnose the problem and checking on the internet indicates that this exact unsafe condition has been know to honda for at least 3 years. this electronic system fault is as much of a safety issue as faulty brakes, etc.

Faulty honda sensing was driving at approx 35mph when crv slammed on it's on brakes by itself for the 2nd time thank god no one was behind us, high beams come on when close to on coming traffic blinding on coming traffic, blind spot indicator comes on when no one around, blind spot indicator doesn't come on, when cars in blind spot,didn't see car in my blind spot and cut car off because blind spot indicator wasn't working. burning wire smell inside cab. most of these problems have been happening since approx jan 2017 less than 1 month of owning car. i can't list just 1 day its happened because it's happened multiple times over and over. crv has been in shop 5-6 times for these problems with no luck of fixing them.
