ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS FAILED. THE BREAKS SYSTEM, COLLIOSION AVOIDENCE, LANE ASSIST, ACC. ALL FAILED. FORTUNATELY WE WERE AT 20 MPH SO WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE CRV. WE TOWED THE CRV TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AFTER 4 DAYS WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THAT ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS HAD FAILED AS THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORTCURCUIT WHICH HAS BLOWN THE FUSES AND THE CONTROL SYSTEM.  THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL SHORT WAS TRACED TO EXOPSED WIRES IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSMEBLY WHICH WERE DAMAGED BY AN ORNAMNET WE HAD HUNG.  THE REASON I AM COMPLAINING IS I WANT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT.  1.LOT OF PEOPLE HANG ORNAMNETS/ CAR FRESHNER ETC AND THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS SYSTEM FAILURE WITH ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS FAILING WHEN THE CRV IS IN MOTION.  2.THIS CRV IS LESS THAN 6 M OLD SO IT ALSO INDICATES TO THE POOR DESIGNAND MANUFACTURE .  3. CRV IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SUVS SOLD IN USA SO LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AT RISK.  4. THE DESIGN ENGINEER KNEW THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE WIRES SO HAVE A PROTECTIVE RUBBER INSULATION BUT THE INSULATION LEAVES A GAP WHERE THE WIRES ARE EXPOSED, AND CAN BE DAMAGED.  I HAVE DRAMATIC VIDEO SHOWING THIS INCIDENT WHEN WE WERE DRVING AND THE EXPOSED WIRES,  THE SHORT CRICUIT DAMAGE AND THE  ORNAMENT THAT THEY ARE BLAMING FOR THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE THE VIDEO THAT I COULD NOT LOAD IN THIS COMPLAIN AS THE SYTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW IT  TO BE LOADED ,BUT I WOULD BE PLEASED TO SHARE IF NEEDED.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"CR-V","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
