Vehicle Speed Control · reported Nov 11, 2026
I was driving 10MPH in a residential area. I took my foot off the gas since I was coming to a turn. 20ft before that turn the car accelerated on its own. It did stop once I pressed on the break. The car had accelerated at a much more faster rate that when one tries to do it. This incident was the second time.
Visibility/Wiper · reported Nov 6, 2026
The wipers stop far short of the window edge leaving approximately six inches of window on the drivers side that does not get swiped. Rain, snow and debris constantly build up in this area impeding visibility. Also, the spray comes out of the wipers, but only releases when the wipers are halfway through the sweep, again not allowing the windshield to clear properly. When driving in snow, I have to pull over and manually clear the edges and bottom of the windshield. This is dangerously. Not only can’t I see well, I have to pull over in the side of the road and exit my vehicle to clear the…
Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Nov 6, 2026
What failed?: The Power Control Unit Assembly part number 1B000-69F-A53 failed and required replacement. This is a hybrid powertrain part that supplies electrical energy to the motor/generators in the transmission to propel the vehicle. How was safety put at risk?: Loss of motive power. The vehicle went into a limp mode and could barely move under its own power. It could only move at a few MPH on level ground after the failure. Fortunately this event occurred in a rural location. Was problem confirmed?: Yes, by Honda Dealer. Part number 1B000-69F-A53 confirmed to have failed and required…
Visibility/Wiper · reported Nov 6, 2026
The design of the wiper blade cleaning procedure is awful. Water dribbles out of the wipers when trying to clean the windshield. The small amount of water that dribbles out of the wiper blades barely wets the windshield, thus making it very hard to completely clean the windshield of dirt and mud. This is a serious visual driving safety issue, because the low amount of unequally spread water smears the dirt around on the windshield making it difficult to see through the windshield, especially if there is glare from the sun; rather than having enough water sprayed onto to the windshield like…
Visibility/Wiper · reported Nov 5, 2026
The wiper system and washer sprayers, especially on the passenger side. There’s an 8 inch path on the top of the wiper on the windshield. It does not clear away the dirt and salt and creates a visibility hazard. I took it to the dealer and they said normal all of them do it. It’s very hazardous and it’s a safety related issue. Honda needs put an additional sprayer on that location or install hood and mounted sprayers so that we are perfectly safe with visibility. This looks like a common problem on all the Honda CRV’s.
