The CMBS stopped working after the update was installed & the dealer said that ius the way it works & won't correct the problem.
I am submitting a formal safety complaint regarding our 2023 Honda CR-V because of repeated and increasingly serious problems involving the vehicle's computer/electronic systems, automatic steering/driver-assistance systems, and automatic braking system. My wife and I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. The problems have occurred repeatedly during September 2026 and have now reached the point where an unexpected hard-braking event caused me neck pain and I am scheduling an appointment with my doctor for evaluation. INCIDENT TIMELINE September 5, 2026: The vehicle began experiencing computer/electronic malfunctions. This was the beginning of the recent series of problems we have experienced with the vehicle. September 9, 2026: While driving, the vehicle unexpectedly began steering on its own. The steering intervention almost caused a collision by directing the vehicle toward active traffic. We did not intentionally place the vehicle into an automatic steering mode. I had to intervene and regain control of the vehicle to prevent a possible accident. This was not the only incident. At this point, my wife and I estimate that we have had to intervene approximately eight times to prevent the vehicle's unexpected behavior from potentially causing an accident. September 10, 2026: Additional unexpected automatic steering/driver-assistance behavior occurred. Again, we had not intentionally activated automatic steering. September 12, 2026: Another incident involving unexpected steering intervention occurred while operating the vehicle. September 15, 2026: The vehicle again exhibited unexpected steering/driver-assistance behavior that required driver intervention. September 19, 2026, approximately 4:30 PM: The vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes extremely hard. The automatic braking event was sudden and severe and nearly created another traffic incident. The force of the braking caused my body to move suddenly and I developed neck pain following the incide
While driving my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid at approximately 40-45 mph, the vehicle began hesitating and not accelerating smoothly. A Check Engine/Emissions System warning also appeared. The vehicle had approximately 31,873 miles. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealer recommended replacement of all fuel injectors and the spark plugs. The vehicle has not yet been repaired and the components remain available for inspection. I am concerned about the safety risk because the hesitation/loss of smooth power occurs while the vehicle is being driven and could affect the ability to accelerate normally in traffic. Honda has issued Service Bulletin 25-044 applicable to 2023-2024 CR-V Hybrid vehicles concerning leaking fuel injectors that can cause an excessively rich air/fuel mixture, foul spark plugs, illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp, and cause drivability problems. The repair procedure can include replacement of the fuel injectors and affected spark plugs. My vehicle has very low mileage for this type of fuel-system failure. I am reporting this incident so NHTSA can evaluate whether similar fuel injector failures and resulting drivability problems in 2023-2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid vehicles represent a broader safety defect.
My crv is roasting a problem related to the steering (guide/steering wheel) to what many call Hardened Steering: The steering wheel becomes rigid intermittently, making maneuvers difficult
My car is experiencing a failure of the shutter grill motor. It’s a motor that opens and closes the shutters to let air through a cooling radiator. The car is not getting hot. The shutters are fully open. I assume this is an energy efficiency mechanism. However: Since the motor is not working, and the shutters cannot adjust properly, the car is derating my power. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I cannot climb mountains on the interstate at proper speeds. I have also almost had a few wrecks trying to pull into traffic due to loss of power, thus acceleration. The computer is choosing to derate my power and acceleration, but it isn’t necessary. I would like to fix the issue, but it is expensive and I don’t have the money. Why would Honda punish me with dangerous conditions for my inability to pay for a fix on an energy efficiency issue!?!?
