Additionally, "PARK" light is on when parking break is both on and off

 

Was there a solution found to this problem?

 

Both those sound like electrical gremlins; make a service appointment with the dealer.

 

it's broken since you said "break"...LOL

 

Same problem. Day 3 of owning car. It has sat for 4 days in the dealer service department. Not thrilled at this point.

 

same issue what happen next did they fix it ?

 

Sorry your both having an issue. Please post back when they figure it out and let us know what the fix was please.

 

Same problem

Day 1 of having the car at home. "Park" light blinking and the "brake!" light and check engine light are both on.

 

This is horrible. As much as I like Honda, all of these posts regarding several different models having issues is making me think twice about them. That Celaya plant needs needs to get it's **** together.

 

Might be premature to blame Celaya until we know if it's an assembly quality versus hardware quality.
Hopefully they investigate thoroughly

 

I had same problem engine management light came on then EP started to flash , took to dealer replaced A I sensor ! £649 glad it still under warranty

 

Took mine back to dealer with the same problem. They said it was a voltage problem from the battery allegedly draining on the lot. They cleared the code from the computer, then retested, but no error codes came up so it seemed it was fixed. Now a day later the same warning lights as posted above are all back on and the car is going back to the service department tomorrow; I have not even owned it a week. I have owned three great Hondas in my time but could not be more disappointed with the apparent lack of quality control here.

 

I had this problem on my HRV. The Red Brake light flashing and yellow Park Brake and check ENG light. The problem is caused by a low voltage from the battery. I had mine checked and even though it the car would start the voltage was low. I bought a new battery, all the lights are out now and works fine.

 

The same thing has happened to me. I have had my car for 2 months and while driving last night my car randomly kicked into the park hold and would not release . Doesnt even have 4,000 miles on it and not even due for an oil change yet. Bought brand new. Its currently at the dealership awaiting service.

 

I wonder why a low priced vehicle like the HR-V would have what seams like a more expensive feature like an electronic parking brake? Maybe it's actually cheaper to build? Makes the interior design clean and simple, but they could have used a foot pedal style parking brake as well.

Had my HRV for effectively 2 months. Police called early hours of the morning 19th March 2017(whilst I'm at work)advising my vehicle was in a collision. Apparently the handbrake had failed allowing my vehicle to traverse down the hill and into a lamp post (write off). Honda sales department/ dealership replied to an email I sent; saying they have never heard of an issue with the brake system

Is this vehicle an automatic or manual? I suspect a manual, but thing like this is why you should always put your vehicle in 1st gear (or any other gear) after it is parked. If this is an automatic, I don't see how this could have happened at all if the vehicle was placed into Park.

 

Sad story, Bill. Hope no one was hurt. Reinforce the idea that if you park on a hill (downslope) you leave the car in Park, not Neutral, and turn the front wheels to the curb. Depending only on a parking brake, electric or mechanical, while enabling the car to roll in Neutral is a gamble. Best idea is to always leave vehicle in Park.

 

Pubu can you please tell me if the dealer found the problem and if so what was it that they did to fix it. Thanks in advance

 

I had the same problem. I bought my Honda HRV 2017 brand new in April 2018. I bought this car because I will have to start doing a long road trip at least 2x per month, and my brothers who are mechanics recommended Honda as they are supposed to be very reliable (Have always had Nissans...no problems wihatsoever; traded them in after 12 years each).

The first time I tried to make the trip (2 months+after I bought the car) the red "PARK" light starts flashing along with a "P" in a circle in yellow and the engine light symbol. I had to abort my trip (which I was trying to put together for months, and could not get going because all the folks involved had different schedules and very busy lives). Finally got it together and started out on our trip, was very disappointed as we had to turn back about 60 miles into the trip as the lights would not go off. I took it to the Honda dealership the following morning and they said it was the gas cap that was loose. I don't believe it as I filled up on Thursday and this happened on Sunday and I drove the car every day in between, but for short trips of maybe 30 miles max.

Honda said they ran tests and found nothing wrong with the car. I am very worried about trying to do this trip again. Any help will be appreciated. I guess they reset it because the lights went off.

Hi, did you resolved the problem?? i have that problem .

 

If it happens again try going to a parts store and have them run the codes for you. It will be free, take 15 minutes, and get you an unbiased answer.

That's not a common issue that I've seen on this car for what it's worth.

I have had something similar on my VW when the charging system failed and the voltage dropped. Do you drive lots of little short trips normally? Maybe they're not long enough to charge the system properly? Maybe your battery is prematurely failing? That's another thing a parts store can test for you

 

Same issue with my car. I DID leave off the gas cap, which explains the engine light being on. No idea about the parking lights. The parking brake engages and disengages when I need. My brake fluid level was not at max, so I added a little more. I just passed the 30K miles point, so I am worried what the dealership will charge for these light checks, even though everything is working just fine. Brakes are important, which is the only reason I will go have it checked out.

 

Had my hrv for three years. Today the red parking light came out blinking either engaged/disengaged parking brakes, the orange color P sign, another orange color sign came out. Went to Honda service, they doesn't even take a look at my car, instead telling me to come back in one week as there is no more slot for appointment. Feeling disappointed as they could have take a few minute to take a look and check out, at least they can tell me if the car is safe to drive.

 

Hi
Did you fix the problem at the end?
I am having the same..
changing the battery has fixed the issue for a couple of days

 

Yeah that's pretty bad. If you're out of warranty, try a non dealership. A light on the dash means there's a code anybody can check out, many places can give free estimates

 

I just put mine in the shop for the same reason. 2016 HRV 6 speed manual. Had to have the rear pads and rotors replaced, then a week later the lights start flashing and parking brake wont disengage. Had to let it sit for about 20 minutes. Took it to the Honda dealership and I am told its because the right rear electronic caliper is grabbing. Was informed that when the brakes and rotors were replaced it needs to be in "Maintenance mode" in order to change them. Meaning dealer only

 

um, wmsbtrfly...

At 30-thousand miles, you added brake fluid yourself - filling the reservoir to the max?
Did i read that correctly?



Any reason you could share regarding why you decided that was a sound and correct decision and action?

 

As your pads slowly wear the calipers fill with additional fluid to compensate.
As long as the level is between the min and max levels it should be fine, unless you suspect some kind of leak.
The only reason I wouldn’t fill to the max line with well worn pads is when you go to replace he pads, you need to compress the calipers forcing the fluid back into he reservoir.
If you topped the reservoir to the max, you risk overflowing when you put new pads in

 

I have had same problems with light on. Just came from dealership where they reset codes and blamed accident I was in almost 2 years ago. Said it was something the body shop did (not dealer body shop)

 

I am a Honda lover; however, I am not loving them anymore. My last last 3 purchases were Honda's so I just purchased the HRV and I am extremely disappointed. I bought the car brand new 4 months ago and the first month of having it the air conditioner goes out. Then the car starts making a rattling noise when I accelerate and the more I drive it the louder it gets and now it feels as if it stalls when the noise is being heard. The repair shop said they don't know what it is but Honda is aware of it and I am just going to have to wait till they figure out a fix. I told them I do not feel safe driving it and they said there is nothing they can do. Last week the check engine light came on as well as the blinking Park light and the light with the P and exclamation point. All lights have been on for over a week. I just turned 4,000 miles. A new vehicle should not have so many issues. I contacted Honda and a service rep said he would look into it and I would hear back. When I called again and talked with the same rep he said he cannot do anything about it. I then asked to speak with a supervisor and I was told I was not permitted to because they are to busy to speak to customers. The sales rep said he would email his supervisor and then he would let me know what the supervisor says. He suggested that I take the vehicle to another dealership that is over an hour away. I explained that I work and I could not drive 2 hours to take my car to be looked at and then another 2 hours to pick it up. I again expressed my concerns and asked to speak with a supervisor and again I was told no and that I could talk to no one higher then the customer service person. I still have not heard back from anyone. At this point I am ready to contact a lawyer. I cannot believe the lack of service I am receiving or the trouble I am having with a brand new car.

 

I would disconnect the negative battery cable for about 10 minutes and see if that straightens it out. Also check the voltage, at rest, not with the engine running. Low-voltage can make alarms go off.
