NHTSA Complaint #11308498 — 2018 HONDA CR-V

WHILE IN MOTION THE CR-V CONTINUES TO BRIGHT LIGHT ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ABRUPTLY WHILE THE VOLUME OF THE STEREO GOES CONSTANTLY FROM LOUD TO MUTE, AND THE DOOR LOCK/ UNLOCKS BEING CONTINUAL. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THERE IS ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, USAGE OF FUEL DRASTICALLY INCREASED, NOTICED OUR THROATS HURTING/ VOICE HOARSENESS/ COUGHING/ PASSENGER PASS OUT UNTIL WINDOWS ARE CRACKED OPEN (CARBON MONOXIDE?). CONSTANT SPUTTERING, NO HORSEPOWER, CAN'T STAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AT TIMES SAYING ROAD DEPARTURE (CLEARLY WE ARE NOT DEPARTING THE ROADWAY). DOORS TO THE BACK HAVE NOT ALLOWED THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK TO OPEN THEM, CAUSING THE CHILDREN TO PANIC IN FEAR OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE REMOTE START HAS ONLY WORKED (2) TIMES IN A YEARS TIME. THERE HAS BEEN A BUZZING/ HUMMING MOTOR SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR OVER (5) HOURS. GASOLINE HAS NOW BEEN NOTICED IN THE OIL. THE DASH PERIODICALLY GOES COMPLETELY BLACK UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS (DIMMING/ BRIGHT LIGHTS) DOES NOT WORK, AND HAS ONLY WORKED (1) TIME. A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IT HAS SMOKED, LIKE LARGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST ANYTIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. FEARFUL OF TRAVELING IN THE CR-V, WE DO NOT USE AFTER DARK, THE AMOUNT SPENT ON FUEL HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED AND WE DO DRASTICALLY LESS DRIVING IN THE CR-V SINCE THE INCREASING FUEL USAGE. AT TIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS CONTROLLED BY SOMEONE ELSE, IT'S DIFFICULT CORRECTING THE STEERING WHEN IT IS PULLING TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
