Computer-related issues can be tricky to document, but here are some challenges you might face with your Honda CR-V. One common problem is sudden stalling, which some drivers have reported around the 11,000-mile mark. In these instances, the vehicle abruptly stalls without any prior warning, requiring it to be towed to a dealer for an ECU software update. Another issue involves the accelerator pedal losing power, rendering it unresponsive when pressed. This issue appears to stem from a computer glitch controlling the gas pedal rather than a mechanical issue. Yet another issue is the computer failing to detect a misfired cylinder, leading to engine sputtering and jerking motions in the vehicle, along with warning lights becoming illuminated. Owners who've encountered this problem typically have vehicles with around 175,000 miles on them.

The most annoying issue I've encountered with my Honda CR-V is the on-and-off failure of its advanced safety features. While the car was still under warranty, the dealerships couldn't pinpoint the problem and kept replacing the engine battery but that didn't solve it. Now that the warranty has expired, they finally identified a fuel system fault that was causing all the advanced safety systems to shut down. It cost me $4,000 to get it fixed.

In 2018, the Honda CRV LX experienced a total system failure where all warning lights illuminated, and both the brakes and shifter became inoperative, causing a frightful situation. Despite the car having only 42,000 miles and being regularly serviced by the dealership, the problem remains unresolved after spending 5,000 dollars on repairs. The blame was unfairly shifted to the owner due to a minor decoration on the mirror.

When starting the car, a message saying "Software update" pops up. There seems to be an issue with reading the CD Rom device. The advice is to turn off the vehicle and then restart it. Even after changing the battery as recommended by the dealer, the problem persists.
