I LEASED A BRAND NEW CR-V AND 12 HOURS AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE DRIVING 7 MPH IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX MY BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO BUMP INTO A CONCRETE SIDEWALK BARRIER. MY COMPUTER SYSTEM ALERTED ME TO SYSTEM FAILURES FOR POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AWD, ETC. THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS SCUFFED UP TIRES AND HUBCAPS. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I WRECKED THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION. THEY ALSO SAID THE WHEEL ROD WAS BENT TO A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. I FIND IT VERY CONCERNING THA…

Owner report 11479352 · 2022-08-15 (August 15, 2022)
For the 2nd time in a span of ~6 months, the 2020 Honda CR-V randomly slowed down/tried to come to an abrupt halt in the middle of the freeway. Terrifying experience both times as it could have easily resulted in being in a fatal collision. I took this to the dealership immediately after the first time it happened but they deemed it as a "phantom issue". This happened again TODAY and I don't know what to do. I did find that I am not alone with this problem via this article. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/24/business/honda-cr-v-accord-braking-i…

Twice, I've been driving down the road, and the emergency braking system has engaged with no car near me. I get thrown against the seatbelt hard enough that it triggers the seatbelt to lock. I'm sure I would have been rear-ended if someone had been behind me. My foot was still on the gas both times it happened. I'm now scared to drive my car because I don't know when it will suddenly break hard and, maybe, hard enough to trigger airbags.
