NHTSA Complaint #11348697 — 2018 HONDA CR-V

2018 CR-V (~38,200 MILES) UNEXPECTEDLY HALTED (LOSS OF POWER - ENGINE KEPT RUNNING) GOING ~35 MPH ON LAKEVILLE HWY/116 IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND SHOWED ENGINE/EMISSIONS CHECK LIGHT AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. TOWED TO DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSTIC CODES P061B ECM/PCM INTERNAL MALFUNCTION (TORGUE CALCULATION), C1870-00, U0401-68, U3003-S6 WERE SEEN. PER AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS (AHM), DEALER WAS TO CLEAR CODES AND TRY AND REPLICATE MALFUNCTION WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO HAVING DRIVEN IT 60 MILES. AHM WOULD NOT REPLACE ECM/PCM AS DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE. I HAD SAFETY CONCERN SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH LEAD SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT DEALER PAID $~441 TO HAVE ECM/PCM REPLACED. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. I BELIEVE THAT SUCH CODES SHOULD MANDATE CAR COMPANY TO ENSURE SAFETY OF OWNER WITH PAID REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY PART. I HOPE OTHERS HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS, NOT REPLACED THE PART AND SUBSEQUENTLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT.
