  1. Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 29, 2023

    On major highways with traffic, the car would idle rough before conking out completely, especially upon acceleration. In cases where I needed to accelerate to merge into traffic, it was very scary, unpredictable, and unsafe. All warning display messages came on as well. Two mechanics have looked and the second mechanic stated that there's a common issue with fuel injectors for 2017 Honda CRV's. Since it's such a common problem with these cars, the fuel injectors are on a very extended backorder. So, he replaced them with after market injectors and deemed it safe to drive. I drove it to work the next day (again, on a major highway) and the car died again upon acceleration.

  2. Engine, Jun 27, 2023

    We have experienced 3 episodes where all of the system failure alarm lights have been activated. The battery was replaced and the fuel injectors were cleaned after the first 2 episodes. On May 19, 2023, we were driving on I-5 north 100 miles from home when the warning lights came on. We turned around to return home. The car went into limp mode and could only go 10 mph over the passes. This was dangerous considering the number of trucks traveling on the highway. The following week it was determine that the turbocharger had failed due to a clogged oil filter screen. All of the scheduled maintenance, including oil changes, had been performed by the Honda dealership. There have been reported issues with the engine in the 2017 Honda CR-V, including oil dilution problems.

  3. Engine, Jun 19, 2023

    Week of April 11th, While driving the car, the vehicle would start to shake and the following warning messages came on as the vehicle would start to decelerate making us drift to the emergency lane avoid getting hit by an oncoming vehicles. The following messages came up on multiple occasions on the panel. (note, we could only select 3 options above so were not able select all of these) 1. Collision Mitigation System Problem 2. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem 3. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 4. Electrical Parking Break Problem 5. Tire Pressure Monitor Problem 6. Power Steering System (EPS) Problem The car was inspected by Danbury Honda service department, who informed us that it was a blown head gasket. The car is a 2017 purchased in 2020 by Danbury Honda Dearlership. As we worked primarily from home for the last 3 years, the car was not driven that often and oil changes have been up to date. There have been no signs of leaking or overheating including the temperature gauge not showing any signs of overheating and remained in neutral or below temperature. The Danbury Honda service department could not explain how a blow head gasket was possible. We then proceeded to have it inspected by Danbury Brewster Service Department week of April 18th, who informed us that it was a spark plug issue. And there was no indication of a head gasket. After spark plug was repaired, the car was being driven with no issues and on May 4th, the incident above happened again (again no overheating or leaking). We went back to Honda Brewster who said it was a blown head gasket with no explanation as to how this as possible. We are attaching the service technician inspection report and photos. This has caused anxiety and stress where we are not safe driving the vehicle. Our daughter just recently obtained a license and, thankfully, this did not happen to her. We have been fans of hondas for many years and between us have owned 4 honda vehicles.

  4. Engine, May 27, 2023

    I was driving and put on the air conditioner when a decrease in the engine power occurred. Then all the safety features installed on the car rotated on the dashboard, in addition the check engine light and all the other yellow lights were on and there was a lot of white smoke coming out of my exhaust.I then took it to my mechanic who diagnosed it as a turbo booster failure. It is a safety issue due to my engine could have seize or caused a fire since I was driving on a highway at the time.I found out my extended warranty expired in April, one month before. Also, the mechanic showed me the turbocharger and the turbine wheel was moving around when it was supposed to be in a stationary position.

  5. Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, May 23, 2023

    The car cabin smells like gasoline due to faulty fuel injectors. I tried getting Honda to fix it and they claimed it was a software issue. After the software update the very next day the car showed 6 different warnings. The warnings would come on intermittently but now they are always showing. When the warning lights weren’t on the car would stop abruptly due to the front end collision system. I tried to get them to fix the warning lights and they wanted me to shell out close to 2,000 dollars to replace a part that’s only about 200 dollars retail.

  6. Electrical system, Engine, Apr 6, 2023

    I was driving on the highway with cruise control on when I felt a slight stutter and loss of speed, followed by all my dashboard warning lights turn on. When I tried to press the acceleration, I could only maintain approximately 20mph, with high RPM. The car actually felt like it was maintaining 20mph without any acceleration input. I pulled over and shut the car down. After waiting a while, I restarted the car. All the warning lights remained on, but it seemed I was able to drive the car normally. I decided to drive it 30 minutes to the dealership along back roads not going over 35mph. The dealership "reset" the warning lights and completed several test drives, but they were not able to diagnose the issue. It has been a couple months since the issue and it has not reoccurred, however I have noticed an occasional stutter when trying to accelerate. It is unsettling to know it could happen again, and it seems there is no way to diagnose the problem.

  7. Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 6, 2023

    My wife was driving the car with her 2 friends on highway left lane , all the sudden the engine light flash and the engine was stalling (cannot accelerate). She was driving 55mph before , all the sudden she only can driving 20mph even she gas up. Luckily she was able to pull over to the right lane and parked on the right side zebra lane. Then I went to help my wife I was only 5-10 minutes from where she was. I drove off the highway with 22mph even I gas up (unable to accelerate past 25th). I got out the highway then turn off and on the engine then the light disappeared. Next day we drove then emission system problem light turn on, same turn off and on the engine then the light disappeared. Next day Monday I went to my mechanic and he told me there no light on , come back when the light on. Same day Monday we drove the emissions light turn on again after we drove about 10-15 miles, I went to my mechanic and he told me there problem with the fuel system, the car unable to burn off all the fuel and the fuel get into the engine. There is a problem with the designs on the fuel and injector system and there was a recall in China and service bulletin 19-037. Of course the light turn off after my mechanic change the engine oil which in China Honda performed oil change for life for all the crv which sold in China. My mechanic did the oil change and tell me go to the dealership as soon as possible. So I went to the Honda dealership next day and they told me to pay for the diagnostic but the light not on , it does not make any sense for me to pay $179 and no code since there no light turn on on the dashboard. I told them I just want to fix the problems which stated on the bulletin, but they refused, I spoke to the manager and Honda customer service, they told me same thing, need to diagnose before anything can be done. I suggested the Honda recall all model crv from 2017 to fix the defective design problems before anyone get serious injury. Stalling is a safety iss

    The lights on the dashboard turn on and off and electrical systems do not work. This has been a continuous issue for over a year.

  9. Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Engine, Feb 18, 2023

    There is a KNOWN issue with Honda's Body Control Module (BCM) in 2017 Accord, Pilot, Insight, but except the CVR. Upon researching online, it looks like many 2017 CRV owners are experiencing the same issue with the BCM; CRV is not being recalled, but all other Honda models are. Bought it to our car technician, he indicated many CVRs are experiencing the same issue and recommended us to bring it to the Honda dealer. The Honda dealer wanted to charge us $1,700 to repair it, which is unacceptable when the BCM should be added into the recall as many parts are supplied by the same vender. Why did CRV is not part of the recall?

  10. Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 13, 2023

    Car goes into limp mode because of misfiring in cylinders - fuel in oil and In cylinders. Paid to flush injection system and clean oil of fuel and in two weeks it went back to the same issue. There is a known fuel/oil mixture issue and this is that problem.

  11. Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 24, 2023

    1 year ago, 1/26/22, my 2017 Honda CR-V experienced a sudden loss of power/acceleration and every error message that could possibly turn on flashed on my dash display. The error messages displayed were very alarming as I remember some of them indicated braking and safety features failing. I was driving on an interstate at a speed of at least 60 mph and had to merge across two lanes of traffic to the nearest exit. I was unable to drive my vehicle any faster than 20-25mph but I was able to drive to a local Honda dealership (Buerkle Honda in Vandais Heights, MN) for diagnostics. I was told that the turbo charger needed to be replaced. I did not ask for any diagnostic details at this time and no root cause for the turbo charger failure was given. It was implied that it was not something completely out of the ordinary for a turbo charger to fail on a vehicle after 90k miles. January 5th 2023, less than a year after the turbo charger had been replaced, I found myself on an interstate again and experiencing DejaVu. The exact same symptoms that I had experienced with the vehicle before (warning messages, loss of engine power) happened again. This time the same dealership (Buerkle Honda) told me that they suspected oil sludge had clogged the oil system and caused the turbocharger to be starved of oil. They also told me that the engine would need to be replaced. This time the vehicle had 108k miles and was no longer in warranty. I brought the vehicle to my mechanic and was given a very different explanation. They changed the oil and found a significant amount of fuel mixed with the oil. They also noticed the engine air filter was saturated with oil (picture included). The saw that a vacuum hose had split and become "gummy" likely due to gas fumes infiltrating the vacuum system (picture included). The oil dilution problem is a well known issue with Honda MY 2017-2019 CR-Vs and this is just another result of Honda failing to find a solution for it.

  12. Engine, Dec 13, 2022

    The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 65 -70 MPH and attempting to pass another vehicle, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond and decelerated unintendedly. The contact stated that the vehicle gradually decelerated from 65 MPH to 40 MPH. The check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the message 'Emission Failure" and other unknown messages were displayed. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the vehicle would not exceed 45 MPH. The warning lights remained illuminated while driving. The contact stated that when the warning lights turned off, the vehicle responded as needed while driving. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the spark plugs were replaced; however, the failure reoccurred intermittently. The contact stated that the failure then became more frequently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

  13. Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 5, 2022

    Fuel injector for Cylinder 3 failed. This has been a 6 month issue starting with simple cold start issue misfire with cylinder 3 (didn't know this was the issue then). I mentioned this issue at my last oil change (about 3-4 months ago) due to it getting worse, and was told there was nothing wrong with my car. A couple months later, I noticed my AC had quit blowing. Fast-forward to 1 week ago, I got on the interstate and tried to go around someone when my car went into full idle mode because of the misfire with cars speeding behind me and a car to the right of me and could not get over for safety. This almost caused a crash on the interstate due to the misfire issue. I took my car into the dealer today (December 5th, 2022), and was told it was a misfire with cylinder 3 (code P0304), and it was the fuel injectors. I did have them fix the issue since I need the vehicle. Honda Recalls specifically state that there is a misfire issue with P0304, but says it does not include my VIN. I believe this is an error on their behalf since half of the issues described in the recall notice describes the issues of what was happening with my vehicle.

  14. Other or unspecified, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 13, 2022

    In May of 2022, my CRV showed many warning messages for nearly every system in the vehicle including emissions, brakes, power steering, vehicle stability assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation and several others. A friend had the same thing happen except he was traveling at 70mph and experienced a very serious, life-changing car crash. I had my vehicle towed to Honda dealer and was told there was a misfire on cylinder 3 (PO303) and that cylinder 1 looked worn as well. They replaced spark plugs on those cylinders (though I requested they do all 4 at once) and the A/C unit. Apparently this is a "known problem" to Honda but I was never told things to watch for, or to bring the vehicle in for service, until it was inoperable. The dealership gave me a copy of Service Bulletin 19-032 by Honda-- dated June 18, 2019 and said the "good news" was they would extend my warranty for an additional year. If there were another issue, I would not be on the hook for repairs. Only 6 months later, all of the same warning lights came on again-- this time as I was driving my 3-year-old to daycare. I pulled over and again had the vehicle towed. The dealer reports the same diagnostic codes and issues, but this time says their repair flow chart indicates the next step is a $1500 fuel injector replacement. Somehow, despite being distinctly related, it is not covered by the extended warranty. To my understanding, fuel injectors do not generally need replacing in my area before about 100,000 miles. My vehicle has 70,000 miles on it. My question is, what if this costly repair works for 6 months & then I have the same systems malfunctioning again? What's next on the flow chart & how much will that cost? Most importantly, what if I'm driving at 70mph with my toddler in the back seat when the brake systems go out?? Honda knows this is a serious problem & should have responded more meaningfully years ago. I've loved my CRV but can no longer drive it with confidence.

  16. Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 24, 2022

    The issue was reported on 08OCT2022 to a Phil Hughes Honda. The vehicle was brought into the Phil Hughes on 13OCT2022 due to all the lights on the dash were lit up but was drivable to the dealer. Prior to completing the Service Bulletin 19-032, Phil Hughes Honda diagnosed with P0301 (Cylinder 1) misfiring and P0172 (fuel system too rich). The lead service tech has already mentioned the root cause is the fuel injectors causing the misfire and fuel system too rich. I had the vehicle for less than one day after the completion of the service bulleting 09-032. There was lost of power on the road on three (3) different occasions. Loss of power means the vehicle went into "limp" mode during normal road driving and dropped acceleration from normal speed 60mph to ~20mph and continued to decelerate to about ~10mph. The vehicle was pulled over, turned off for about 5 minutes, and turned back on with all the warning lights remaining lit. All the warning lights remain on and was diagnosed again by Phil Hughes Honda and, this time, they got more codes. But, this time there were misfires with Cylinder 1, 2, 3 AND 4 which would be codes P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, and P0172 fuel system too rich. Again, the root cause has been diagnosed to be the fuel injectors. Case # [XXX] is open Honda of America has been contacted and Case # [XXX]. Honda of America classifies fuel injectors as an emissions part which is hard to believe as fuel in delivered to the engine which the engine is part of the power train. Honda Service Bulletin 19-032 says the POSSIBLE CAUSE is "Based on certain driving patterns and environmental factors, the DTC's state above may set or whirling noise may occur). This is not true and the true root cause is fuel injectors. This is a HIGH RISK that is waiting to occur and there could have been a FATALITY as the vehicle dropped in deceleration in the middle of the street and someone could have gotten rear-ended and killed.

  17. Electrical system, Engine, Forward collision avoidance, Sep 21, 2022

    All 8 systems associated with collision avoidance, lane change warning, tire pressure, cruise control, braking system, and engine electrics are flashing warning lights about 80% of the time. The car runs but these systems are compromised (cruise won't work, emergency braking doesn't work, etc.) The dealer has told me different things each time he has diagnosed it, the latest being a need for new turbo units, but the number of people who have this problem and get different "solutions" from dealers only to have the problem return indicates a systemic problem.

    on 5/7/2022, noticed vehicle overheated with no warning indicators other than temp gauge had risen. upon checking vehicle noticed cooling fan was not running and found coolant low. fan would run when AC was engaged clearing possible faulty fan. upon adding coolant, the fan engaged itself. This appears to be a flaw in the design of the electrical system of the vehicle that could lead to disabling the vehicle due to overheating with no prior warnings or indicators, especially since the fan is unable to run when the coolant is low to help keep engine cool.

    On Saturday June 18, 2022 at 9:56 a m I was pulling my 2017 HONDA CRV into a parking space at my local Food Lion in Madison, NC. As soon as I took my foot off the gas pedal and slowly pressed the brakes, the engine immediately revved up, accelerated highly and lurched forward not stopping until I hit an unoccupied vehicle head on in front of me. At the same time side swiping an unoccupied vehicle to the left of me. Thankfully no one was injured. Total of {3} vehicles involved causing several thousands dollars of damage. Was inspected by the police and there were no warning signs; it just happened immediately. When researching on line about problems of HONDA CRV"s this issue was listed numerous times: UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. Something needs to be done about this problem before people are killed!

    The contact's mother owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in the garage, there was a strong fuel and oil odor coming from the vehicle. Upon opening the hood to inspect the vehicle, it was discovered that the engine oil also had a fuel odor. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate properly while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the computer software needed to be updated to correct the failure. The contact stated that the software update was completed. No further information was available. The vehicle was taken back to the contact's residence; however, the vehicle later failed to start. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact also stated that the battery had previously failed on several occasions and was replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000. The VIN was not available.

  24. Vehicle speed control, Engine, Mar 9, 2022

    During a recent vacation my husband and I were on 95N just outside Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. My husband attempted to change lanes into the passing lane. As he depressed the gas pedal and turned into the lane, our Honda stalled and would not respond to any demand for acceleration. By the time we realized what was happening we'd gone from 65 miles per hour to about 30 miles per hour in a heavy flow of traffic, with oncoming traffic decelerating quickly and coming dangerously close upon the rear of our vehicle. There happened to be repairs to the left of our lane, with associated traffic cones so no cars were in that lane, and we were able to drift into that lane and restart our car. This happened once before on a very slow travel lane in my neighborhood and I didn't connect that the car had stalled. In retrospect this is the second occurrence. While I will certainly be taking the car for service at the Honda dealer, I also researched and found out that Honda is aware of this issue and does not deem it a safety issue, thus not using any sort of safety recall. My experience was harrowing, and certainly could have resulted in our own impact and indeed a larger impact on 95N after our stall. This was no joke and luckily my husband did not panic and we were able to respond and drift to safety. If that lane to our left had not been closed, no way could we have made it to the right side of the highway to the "slow" side of the road.

    Car battery drains after sitting for a few days. Had this issue and replaced the battery. The battery is only 2 months old and after leaving the car parked for 3 days the battery died again and needed to be jumped. It looks as if this is an outstanding issue with several complaints found online for this model and battery drain from electronics.
