2015 Honda CR-V Driver assistance Problems

CHRONOLOGY OF CASCADING VEHICLE SAFETY FAILURES VIN [XXX] Vehicle 2015 Honda CR-V. 1 STRUCTURAL BODY FRAME DEFECT. Vehicle has a chronic upper body structural alignment defect allowing massive water intrusion to bypass factory headliner and moonroof seals. Multiple consecutive factory OEM headliners have been destroyed by water logging, proving the upper tracking architecture is permanently warped and cannot maintain an environmental seal. 2 ELECTRICAL FAILURE ENGINE STALL HAZARD. Saturated water tracking through the upper frame has migrated into primary engine bay electrical lines. This chronic moisture caused a severe short circuit that fried the vehicle alternator, voltage regulator, and primary battery requiring emergency replacement. This infrastructure breakdown creates an imminent safety risk of sudden loss of vehicle charging power and dangerous engine stalling while operating at highway speeds. 3 ADAS INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURES. Moisture migration has breached the primary dashboard wire harnesses causing active continuous power dropouts and glitching across the center infotainment screen and main driver instrument display interface, blinding the operator to speedometers and critical crash avoidance alerts. 4 AIRBAG HAZARDS ACTIVE BIOHAZARD. Saturated water tracking down internal pillars runs directly over Side Curtain Airbag modules and electronic connectors, risking sensor corrosion. Cabin flooding has saturated seating foam, endangering electronic Occupant Classification Sensors OCS that regulate passenger airbag deployment forces. Unremediated moisture left toxic mold spores festering beneath the seating infrastructure, causing severe respiratory irritation to occupants. REPAIR STATUS. Unresolved safety defect. Repair networks failed to remediate structural hazards. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Windshield camera and all its functions does not work. The following systems do not work. LKAS ACC CMBS LDW I drive 3 hours to work and back and not having these safety features is dangerous for me because my foot and ankle hurts to keep a consistent speed, and when I am drowsy the LKAS helps me stay in my lane. All of these warning lights are on my dash. I bought this vehicle in 2018 and the lights have been on since 2024. I am just now learning that I could report this.

On 8/14, As I was pulling away from a gas pump and into a parking space (going 5 mph or less), the automatic braking system alarms went off, and the brakes applied, causing the car to seize up completely. My foot was already on the brake and I was at least 5 feet away from the barrier at the end of the parking spot. In addition to this experience, the emergency braking alarms tend to go off in unexpected/unneeded situations, such as when I'm coasting to a red light with my foot already on the brake. And it does NOT go off in other situations where I would expect it, such as when a car stops short in front of me. These situations happen approximately once every two months or so. The automatic/emergency braking is unreliable, unpredictable and when it engages unnecessarily, could be dangerous.

On [XXX], my 2015 Honda CRV completely stopped at a traffic light on [XXX] . All warning lights came on. At the time, the vehicle had 60,000 miles. I was towed to Bill Page Honda in Annandale, Va. They could not determined the cause of the engine failure. I was then towed to Ourisman Honda of Tysons Corner where I purchased the vehicle. (Reference attached invoice dated 08/08/03) No reason could be given for the complete shut down of the engine. Note that all required maintenance work had been completed on this vehicle as scheduled. A used motor was installed. I'm filing the complaint in light of the current probe by the NHTSA on this Honda vehicle even though the year of my vehicle is not included in the probe. I've spoken with an NHTSA representative on 11/18/24 (Call Ref.# 1586954) who referred me to the Federal Trade Commission asking that I make reference to my call to the NHTSA. I left a voicemail on 11/18/24 with the Federal Trade Commission at (202)366-2222. I'm waiting for a call back.

ADAS sporadically works. It constantly turns off and on. Have taken it to dealer, codes are cleared, camera is cleaned, and am told that should fix the problem. Within 5 blocks of leaving dealership, the problem comes back. The next solution according to them is replace the camera for $1800. This is a safety issue. The safety features are unreliable. I have also researched online and there are many Honda owners reporting this same problem

My 2015 CRV suddenly had all the crash warning/adaptive cruise control/lane keep assist lights flashing…very alarming…so we brought it to White Rock Honda for to find out what was happening?
 They diagnosed our Multi-purpose camera is faulty. $2193 to repair…plus $197.12 yesterday to diagnose!
 We have done nothing to cause this substantial/expensive repair. We are shocked as we are long-time Honda owners, (3 Hondas in the past 20 years) and have never experienced anything like this.
 Now we are in danger all of our safety features no longer functioning.
 This this is a huge hardship for us at this time as I just began a gradual return to work this week after an illness. I need to safely rely on this car every day for my long commute from Surrey to Richmond.
 So as mentioned, this is a hardship that we had no part in causing – and we feel is entirely unfair. We have contacted Honda Customer Relations. We have forwarded the diagnostic receipt, the situation is now in mediation. -Yes, available for NHTSA inspection.

I noticed the car shook at first in park or at a light. I made Honda aware 1 month in at 25K miles and was told it was a common flaw with my year make and model and there was nothing to be done. It progressed over 1 year into vigarously shaking while in reverse. I was driving on the road and my car completely cut off on me without warning. It would restart, the ac blew hot, then cut back off. I was almost hit from behind while traffic kept going. I got out of the car for safety to have it towed to the Honda dealership. While off the tow, the car started back up again and went into drive. However, the check engine light was still on and the shaking was still ongoing. Honda told me they cleared the codes and could find nothing wrong. I made them keep the car. It has now been two week. After about 5 days they told me a list of the following problems: 1.engine harnes1.engine harness had s had corrosion due to coolant leakage 2.speed sensor and both transmission warmer coolant hoses with clamps needed repair 3. Transmission side mount 4. Evaporator canister vent shut valve stuck closed 5. front engine mount is collapsed My warranty company refused to repair issue #1 and #2 due to the corrosion. Honda charged me $1800 to repair the problem. The service manager mentioned in a phone call that my car was salvage while reading an email from his district manager. I can not find out if this is in fact true and the sold me a certified pre owned care under false pretenses. I want to make others aware.

I HAD JUST RETURNED FROM THE GROCERY STORE WITH ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS. WE PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND MY 2015 HONDA CR-V EX-L WAS STOPPED AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. MY CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. BEFORE I COULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP TO A VERY HIGH RPM AND LUNGED FORWARD. EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR RAN OF TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF BUSHES BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF MY HOUSE! THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND (MAYBE LUCKILY) HER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIRBAG MAY BE A TANAKA AIRBAG. I HIT MY AIRBAG WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE AIR BEGAN TO SMOKE. MY DAUGHTER'S WAS INJURED AND SHE SUFFERED A VERY BLOODY NOSE WHEN HER HEAD HIT THE DASHBOARD. I SUFFERED BRUISES TO MY ABDOMEN. THE FORCE OF THE CRASH KNOCKED THE PLASTER OFF THE INSIDE OF MY KITCHEN AND THREW IT 10 FEET. THE STUDS WERE KNOCKED OFF THE MOORINGS. BECAUSE MY HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1929 STUDS DID NOT BRAKE AND THE DAMAGE WAS ONLY COSMETIC. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE CAR IS TOTALED AND THERE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT COSTS IN REPAIRING THE HOUSE.
