AIR BAGS

Driver hit curb going 7 mph. No one was in the passenger seat. Both passenger airbags deployed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

Defective front-facing camera located above the rear view mirror, used by several car safety systems, fails intermittently causing the dashboard to emit persistent visual and audio warnings. This is a 2019 HRV-EX with approx. 60,000 miles. It happens most frequently when the car interior is hot. The cacophony is so overwhelming that it distracts from being able to safely operate the vehicle. Honda dealer from whom the car was purchased estimated over 2000 to fix the issue. This is a common issue with several Honda models and there is a class action suit filed in US District Court, Central District of CA. Honda should acknowledge there's a design defect in the camera system and offer to repair it at its own expense.

STEERING

The contact owns a 2019 Honda HR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the steering wheel failed to operate as needed on several occasions. The contact stated that occasionally there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer confirmed the failure, and the alternator was replaced twice to correct the warning light issue; however, the warning lights returned 20 minutes later. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the dealer and independent mechanics were unable to determine the cause of the failure.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

The contact owns a 2019 Honda HR-V. While the contact's son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the vehicle was diagnosed with cylinder head, head gaskets, and gasket kit failures. In addition, the contact was informed that the coolant needed to be drained, and the oil level needed to be checked. The contact was informed that the head gaskets, gasket kit, and cylinder head needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact stated that the failure was a known failure. The contact filed a case and requested to be reimbursed for the cost of the repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 95,859.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I own a 2019 Honda HR-V, VIN [XXX]. My vehicle required replacement of the fuel pump motor associated with Honda’s fuel-pump recall. On XXX, I had the fuel pump replaced at Firestone Complete Auto Care because the recall repair had not been performed on my vehicle. The fuel pump cost $969.77, and the total repair cost was approximately $1,200 including labor. I subsequently submitted a reimbursement claim to Honda because the recall repair had already been completed at my expense. Honda denied my reimbursement claim, stating that, based on its records, my vehicle had already been repaired. This is incorrect. I did not have the recalled fuel-pump repair performed by Honda or a Honda dealer before the XXX Firestone repair. Honda has also confirmed that, based on the information available for my VIN, my vehicle is associated with a fuel-pump motor recall. I am concerned that Honda’s recall records incorrectly indicate that the recall remedy was previously performed on my vehicle when it was not. I am requesting that NHTSA review this matter and determine whether Honda’s recall records for my VIN are inaccurate and whether this may be affecting my ability to receive the recall remedy or reimbursement for a repair that I had to pay for myself. I can provide the Firestone invoice, proof of payment, Honda’s reimbursement denial, and correspondence regarding the recall upon request.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

The Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic system has failed (confirmed by Honda service center). When I start my car, I now get several warnings that multiple systems are out, including but not limited to the automatic emergency breaking, forward collision warning, and many other safety features. Upon searching the web, it seems this is a common issue in many Honda vehicles starting in 2018. With this feature no longer working, I have no back up safety mechanisms, which is one of the main reasons I bought this car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The vehicle dash cluster flickers and goes completely out. When this happens you can not see the mileage or how much fuel you have. This is a known problem and even my local dealer has seen a few and Honda will not stand behind the problem. The dealership wants over two thousand dollars to replace the cluster and they charge me 80 to look at it once when it wasn’t flickering so they couldn’t make a report, but they have seen it messed up and have a claim number with Honda but they say vehicle is too old and 80,000 miles so they will not fix this safety issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Has faulty much/under dash fuse box

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

It seems like all safety systems associated with Honda's Safety Sense package failed simultaneously as I have a chain of dashboard lights indicating problems with Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control and more. These dashboard lights came on with an aural warning which was a distraction to me during my drive. These lights are illuminated everytime I start up the vehicle and are lit up throughout the duration of the vehicle being on. These lights first appeared approximately 2 weeks ago. The vehicle is available for inspection if needed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My gas instrument panel gauge works intermittently. This gauge shows the gas level, temperature and mileage information. There were no symptoms of this problem. A lot of the time the instrument panel that shows gas level, temperature and mileage information is blank. I feel this is a safety problem. Honda does know about this problem. If I took this to a Honda dealership to be fixed it would cost 1,800-2,000 to fix. This is something that happened when this make and model: 2019 Honda HRV Sport was assembled at the factory.
