When using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to connect to the car's infotainment system to view maps and navigation instructions, the system periodically goes dark for a variable length of time. While it will often restart on its own, on occasion the driver must interact with the system to relaunch the navigation screen. During the outage, the loss of navigation instructions is a safety hazard as it forces the driver to turn their attention away from the road. The car dealer has acknowledged this is a known issue and they are awaiting a fix from the manufacturer.

The backup camera also has a 3-7 sec delay in displaying the surroundings.

I was pulling in (slowly, forward, to the right) into a parking space when my 2026 CRV Sport Hybrid seemed to accelerate and jolt forward. I was not accelerating. My foot was on the brake pedal, coming to a slow stop. I had to slam on the break to avoid hitting another parked vehicle. This incident left me extremely frightened and very concerned about the safety of the vehicle. Prior to this, there were no warning lamps, messages, or anything to make me think that something might be wrong with my car. We will be taking it into the dealership for a full electronic diagnostic scan. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle until this is addressed and corrected. (Another issue we had with this veh
