Description of the problem | I own a 2017 honda crv exl model. Recently, the sensing device in the front of the car (below the honda logo) got stolen from my car. This safety sensor assists the driver with features such as lane keeping assistance, land departure warning, automatic cruise control, etc. I know at least 5 more owners from my apartment community whose car's sensor was stolen. All of us have filed a police complain for theft. The problem why i am asking for assistance is that the sensor can be so easily stolen that even if i get it fixed, there is a high probability that the sensor can get stolen again. One does not need any tool is steal the sensor. Anyone can open that panel in a minute and walk away with an important safety feature. It's that easy. None of us heard any anti theft alarm buzzing when the sensor was stolen. This is a serious design flaw and honda should take complete responsibility of this debacle and that a permanent solution should be worked out by honda so that the owners do not face the issue in the future. |
