Chronological view of owner reports
all the lights for the honda sensing systems (LKS, ACC, road departure, etc) are on periodically with notifications that they were not working. There is nothing wrong with the battery or anything else. They are gonna charge me 1,500$ to get this fixed when it’s their equipment that’s at fault.
Front View camera behind rear view mirror suddenly stopped working. All advanced safety mechanisms stopped working, replacement is said to be $2500 with no known reason for this part to stop working besides it "went bad".
Several warning lights came on. No collision or glass damage occured. Took it to the dealer. DIAGNOSIS was CODE U3000-49 "multipurpose camera unit/millimeter wave radar internal electric failure due to heat. They said fix it would be $2237.49. However, they said they could not fix it then because the part is back ordered. Due to so many cars with this problem. I went online and see other 2019 hr-v owners having the same issue.
Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, collision avoidance, regular cruise control, and more all shut down after my cars Honda sense camra died.
A few days ago several lights and warning items came on: Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation Problem, Auto High Beam Problem and the Break System Light is on. I took it to my local Honda dealer- they said the Monocular camera needed replacing and the break hold/emergency parking break switch needed replacing. Then 2 days later my low battery on my fob came on.
The car randomly decides to slam on it's brakes, it's becoming more frequent as time goes on, the crv and accords of the same year are already recalled due to this issue and I'm sure the hrv will need to be added to this recall.
I was driving on a curved road, going approximately 25mph (safe speed) and a car came around the curve coming towards me (also going a safe speed). We were both on the correct side of the road, no danger of a collision, but the Collision Mitigation Braking System started to brake. Fortunately, there was no one behind me and it only engaged for a second. A message to BRAKE came on just before the CMBS engaged.
I heard of an ongoing investigation partaining to 2019 Accords and CR-Vs, so I wanted to add this information: I have a 2019 Honda HR-V, and at least twice, the Automatic Breaking System has engaged erroneously/at dangerous times. The most glaring incident, I was driving in one lane at ~30 mph, and there was a left turn lane with a stationary car that I approached. I was not in the turn lane, I did not try to turn into the lane. My emergency brakes detected the car, one lane over, and UNSAFELY slammed the brakes. I ground to a halt/5 mph, on a 30-35 mph road, and was almost rear ended. Luckily, nothing happened, but since then I have started to deactivate emergency breaking.
