FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

233 complaints

I was going through an intersection on a city street at approximately 35 mph. There were no vehicles or obstacles in front of my car. My emergency braking feature engaged, bringing me to a sudden stop in the middle of the intersection. Had a car been behind me, I certainly would have been rear ended. I have not taken my car in yet. I regularly maintain my car and did not have any error/warning messages prior to or after the incident.

Oct 02, 2025

I was driving on the highway, 65 mph using cruise control, in the right lane. There was one car in my relative vicinity, already halfway through it's exit off the freeway, with my car still about 6 or 7 car lengths away. The automatic braking system suddenly engaged hard. I quickly disengaged cruise control, which mitigated the problem. In the moment of unexpected braking, I was thankful there was no one around me, because my hard, sharp braking could have caused me a rear end accident and someone else, a front end accident. No one has confirmed my experience. The car is currently being inspected by my local mechanic. There were no warning messages or lamps prior to the 'short stop'. UNKNOWN if warning message came on in the midst of the short stop.

Sep 09, 2025

Driving along a city road, and the CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) engaged. The brakes were slammed on, out of nowhere for no good reason. The closest car in front was several car lengths away, but there was a car closely following behind. That car (and the car behind it) had to brake hard to avoid collision. No injuries occurred in our vehicle. We were, however, pretty fucking scared and pissed.

Aug 23, 2025

Was driving on a main road in the afternoon. There was a car ahead of us, but not directly ahead, and did not have its break lights go on. My car suddenly flashed the "break now" sign and put on the breaks without warning. Fortunately, there was no one behind us, and I was able to continue without incident. This has never happened before, but it really shook me, as it could have been a very dangerous situation. Had there been another car right behind us, we would have been rear ended. It makes me nervous to drive my car, as I don't know if this could happen again.

Jul 18, 2025

This is to report an activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System on my Honda 2018 CRV despite there being no collision danger. While driving approximately 30 mph on a 2 lane suburban residential street, my car suddenly slowed when the CMBS system engaged despite my car being at an ample following distance from the car ahead. There were no pedestrians or any obstructions in the road. I believe my safety was at risk because there was no reason for my car to reduce speed and luckily the car behind me did not hit me. My car slowed considerably but did not stop. I have not had the car inspected or serviced with regard to this problem. There were no other warning lamps or messages prior to the system engaging.

ENGINE

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to sincerely request your understanding and support regarding my vehicle repair. My car to Union Park Honda for the fuel pump recall repair, which was completed under the recall service. However, shortly after that, I was informed that my vehicle now has a head gasket problem, which requires a very expensive repair. Unfortunately, I am currently facing a very difficult financial situation, and it is not possible for me to cover this cost at the moment. This situation has been emotionally and financially challenging for me. I truly appreciate Honda’s care and commitment to its customers, and I am humbly requesting if there is any way the dealership could provide some financial assistance,any special consideration to help me with this repair. Your compassion and understanding would mean a lot to me. Thank you very much for your time and support.

Nov 03, 2025

Due to a faulty 1.5 engine, the head gasket prematurely failed which could have led to serious engine failure while driving, and an accident could have occurred, if the car had suddenly stopped while being driven. There were several warning lamps, but the warning lamps on this car sometimes go off for no reason and the car was not overheating. I assumed the car was just acting up again. When I let the car sit for a couple of days and the warning lamps were still on, I took the care to a service center where they diagnosed the problem. Honda is aware of the faulty 1.5 engine, but have not issued a recall. Replacement of the head gasket will be over $4,000.

Nov 03, 2025

I brought my vehicle to a Honda dealership for a recall repair for the fuel pump and it was observed that the vehicle was leaking coolant and oil. The mechanic determined that the head gasket needs to be replaced and this is documented and available for review. There were no warning lights or noticeable clues that there was a major engine malfunction occurring. If not for the recall repair it is likely the motor would have failed causing catastrophic damage from the head gasket issue. The repair is expensive and necessary to continue driving the vehicle. This engine failure is not typical of a honda product and was unexpected.

Oct 20, 2025

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with a recent engine failure in my 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD (VIN: [XXX] ), which occurred despite meticulous maintenance my CR-V experienced a coolant leak through the head gasket, leading to a misfire on cylinder 3 (diagnostic code P0303). Repairs at Heritage Honda in Bel Air, MD, included replacing the head gasket, spark plugs, injectors, and other components, totaling over $6,300. This significant expense for a well-maintained vehicle is disheartening, especially given Honda’s reputation for reliability.

STEERING

220 complaints

Issue: Sticky or catching steering. I am having an issue with the steering sticking or catching when I make small turns with the steering wheel. It seems to be worse with turns less than 45° then complete 90° turns. It also seems to catch with smaller right turns then left turns. The steering seems to catch or stick with turns that are less than 45° or subtle adjustments to keep the car in the lane. I am concerned that at some point my wife or I will not be able to apply enough force to overcome the catch or sticking of the steering which will result in a crash, injury or death. The issue has become worse in the last few months and seems to be constant.

Steering wheel became sticky rather than smooth in hot weather. It did this in the afternoon when it was hot outside. The car wouldn’t just continue to drive straight. I was constantly having to slightly turn the steering wheel to keep going straight. When I turned the wheel it would stick rather than just turn smoothly. Very unstable and constant every day. I paid over $2,000 for repair. Mechanic told me he had done this repair on so many CRV’s that Honda should issue a recall on the problem. I didn’t know about reporting this to NTSB until today.

Oct 22, 2025

The car model year is 2018 and has 49,580 miles when it was taken to the Honda dealer for inspection. The steering wheel was 'sticking' as if it were in a groove. Turning the steering wheel became somewhat difficult. It was if the steering wheel needed to be turned with enough force to get it up and over the lip of the groove so the car would turn. It also made a ticking or cracking sound when turning the steering wheel. Dealer test drove the car and was able to duplicate the concern. They found the power steering rack assembly had failed and stated so on the invoice. The entire unit needed to be replaced, and a 4-wheel alignment would then be required. The cost of the unit was $5,813.75, and the cost of the alignment was $139.95. This is a serious safety issue when the steering rack assembly fails.

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

124 complaints

The 1.5L turbo engine in my 2018 Honda CR-V is experiencing oil dilution. Raw fuel mixes with the engine oil, lowering flashpoint and thinning viscosity. This creates a fire risk, loss of lubrication, accelerated engine wear, and potential stalling. Honda issued TSBs, but the problem persists. This is a serious safety defect.

Sep 05, 2025

Honda CRV in it’s first signs failed to start. Vehicle ignition would fail to function, there was no respond. I had to shut off for 15 minutes then tried initiating, it would start as if nothing happened. I thought this was due to a battery/electrical issue. At times I thought it would not turn on and I would be left stranded where I was. Second issues began with Honda CRV not responding to gear changes, it would shake in the middle of the road, in between trips. I was praying this was not the transmission. Did have this repaired since I would regularly keep up it’s maintenance and no further damage was announced by dealership. In the scariest of events, Honda CRV stopped in the middle of freeway! Car began to shut off, would not advance further and completely lost power. I had to safely move to the side of the road, exiting freeway very frigthtened. Only warnings signs I had other than the unfortunate events mentioned above, where vehicle failed to operate. It was the last 2 or 3 times I took my vehicle for scheduled maintenance. I began to get information from service center about extremely costly repairs my Honda CRV vehicle needed. There were no other lights, messages or warnings on vehicle dashboard. I automatically though the repairs recommended were an intent to charge me more than needed. I also did not have the amount of money required for the costly the repairs. I did receive a safety recall repair notice on or before behinning of 2024. Around January/February then again January 2025 regarding an “Important Safety Recall.” I do not know why parts had a “limited availability,” if this was “IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL” why then did this take so long to be properly attended? The letter does state that “safety consequences” of not repairing could cause engine issues. Prevent engine from starting, cause vehicle to loose drive power or stall while driving, increasing risk of crash or injury. Please help me with this issue. Thank you in advance for reading.

Crash: 1

This is with reference to 23V-858. I own a Honda Cr-v 2018 model. I got first notice about open recall of Fuel Pump module back in December 2023 follow by couple of other reminders but whenever I called Honda dealership, they said part is not available. It's been more than a year now, I got another notice that part is available and to call any Honda dealership to schedule a repair. But now when I called my nearby Honda service centers, they don't have a date available for appointment in next 30 days. I am really worried of driving it further as this looks to be an issue with Fuel pump or engine. Pelase help me file a complaint against Honda for this inconvenience and help me get this repair done asap.

Issue: Car loses power while driving. Event: Started car, drove down a hill about 1.5 miles. Tried to accelerate, lost all power, CEL started blinking. Limped car to safe location but could not accelerate over 5 mph. Next start, all vehicle warning lights flashing on dashboard. Code reader threw a P0310, P0300 (engine misfire). Problem reproduced/confirmed by independent service center. Preliminary diagnostics (swapped ignition coils and spark plugs 1&2 to 3&4, reinspected, misfires still on 1&2) suggesting possible fuel injector faults. Recommended working with Honda directly for further diagnostics because fuel injectors are replaced as an assembly and often require programming by a dealer, also problem seems similar to recall issue. Concern: Vehicle has 42,000 miles; fuel injectors should not fail at this mileage. Received a Honda safety recall letter in February 2024 NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-858/Honda Campaign number KGC. Called Honda after unsafe driving event (loss of power while driving). Honda stated that the recall for my VIN was rescinded. However, the problem seems very likely related to this recall.

Oct 17, 2024

Vehicle started to run erratically as I was merging onto highway and all the dashboard lights were illuminated. Vehicle would not accelerate past 25 mph. Pulled over and turned car off and back on. Was able to accelerate and go a few more miles before car decelerated from 65 to 25. Got off highway and drove vehicle back home. It did it one more time, while on a back road. Took it to mechanic and diagnosis was two failed fuel injectors. Vehicle is less than 6 years old and has 95,000 miles on it.

Crash: 1

Failed emissions with code P0172 (System too rich) at 69,000 miles. Warning lights then appeared on the dash for almost every vehicle system, including Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Power Steering System Problem, TMPS Problem, Stability Control Problem, and others. Upon inspection, the problem was determined to be with the fuel injectors which needed to be replaced.

Aug 29, 2025

At around 88,400 miles my Enging light came on saying I had an "Emissions Problem." Shortly after the Emissions problem was being signaled, several other lights came on including, ABS problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Electronic Break problem and several others. I took my car to a Honda dealership's service shop to have a dianostics test run. According the the report the "check found code P0172 fuel systtem too rich." "Performed A/F test, CYL,1,2,3 Failed too rich." And they recommended replacing the injectors and I opted to have it done by them. When asked if that seemed ealrier for fuel injectors to go, the service rep said yes that they typically last the life of the egine.

Aug 22, 2025

The fuel injectors got totally clogged and did not run correctly after. They could not be unclogged and had to get new ones. I needed to get the fuel injectors replaced. Every warning you could get on your car came up so that everything was flashing and I could not figure out what the problem was without going to the mechanic.

Jun 23, 2025

The fuel injectors all need replaced at 63,000 miles. Honda stated that other Honda crv of the same year are getting them replaced under warranty but stated that our VIN number is not included. Even though it's the same make, model and year of other Honda crv that Honda has issues warranty for bad fuel injectors.

The contact stated upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to shift into gears and was undrivable. The dealer diagnosed that the battery terminals were faulty, causing a system communication failure and battery drainage. The dealer replaced the battery. The vehicle was temporarily repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,419.

ALL dashboard warning lights and beeping alerts come on/cycle through for a few days. Then, things quiet down for a few days. Cruise control stops working when this happens. VERY ANNOYING and erodes confidence in the safety of the vehicle. PLEASE address this problem, which has been experienced by SO many others, with a RECALL fix as soon as possible.

Apr 23, 2025

The infotainment display on my vehicle's dashboard flashes and emits a "beeping" sound frequently. The only way to remedy the problem is to pull off the road, shut down the engine and restart it. The flashing and beeping is not only annoying, but poses a safety hazard - particularly at night. I belong to a Honda CR-V owners group and my complaint is frequently echoed by other CR-V owners, so the problem is not limited to my vehicle. My Honda dealer will fix the problem for $1,600. I've been in touch with Honda corporate and they refuse to remedy the problem at their expense since my vehicle is out of warranty.

Apr 13, 2025

Multiple vehicle warning lights showing up on dashboard, but only when the weather is cold - usually under 35 degrees F. Once the temperature goes above 35 degrees F, the warning lights disappear. Not exactly sure what is going on, but have read online of a bunch of other owners of 2017 and 2018 Honda CR-V’s experiencing the same exact issue. Would like to get Honda Motor Corp. to cover the cost of repair.

As I pushed the interior button on my vehicle to raise the back hatch, there was a winding noise that occurred & the door went down. I opened the back hatch with the button located near the rear license plate. as the hatch started making the loud winding noise going up, the left side hydraulic lifting mechanism shot through the roof of the car. I have contacted Honda several times & they said this is not a safety hazard. This mechanism could have shot out & impaired someone very easily. Other vehicles of the same have had this happen (please google it) & reported to Honda but they brush it off & close the case. This needs to be investigated to avoid injury to people in the future. Back spoiler was also blown off during the incident.

Sullivan Tire (Ivory Street) recommended a change in coolant fluid 1/18/25 during a routine oil change. 4/11/25 another routine oil change with a recommendation to change coolant fluid again due to substantial and informed experience but was not done. Then 6/6/25 during a routine oil change said coolant fluid was dirty and got changed for no charge in addition to paying for rear brakes and break fluid serviced. 8/30/25 routine oil change with cabin & engine filter changed. Made the same claim that coolant and break fluid should be serviced, I declined as I knew they were both just done. 9/11/25 have to pull off road and get a tow due to dashboard message, "Stop Driving when safe. Engine Temperature to Hot." Sullivan Tire looked into the issue and found coolant fluid was down, and added more. they also ran it for two hours, did a test run and said everything was fine, with no leaks. 9/27/25 Was traveling on highway when a strange noise was heard, check engine light flashing and acceleration rapidly decreasing. Got off highway pulled over and waited over an hour for a tow. 9/29/25 vehicle was serviced for spark plugs and coils, picked back up that night. 9/30/25 Vehicle had to be towed again with an on again off again message of, "Stop Driving when Safe. Engine Temperature to Hot." waited more than two hours for a tow. 10/1/25 They looked at the vehicle and said they did not know what the issue was and had to call in a technician to help diagnose. 10/2/25 The technician called in discovered it was the head gasket and Sullivan Tire gave an estimate for $4400.00 despite not providing the service. Been with out a vehicle pretty much since 9/27/25. I drive a 2018 Honda CRV EX. I have also seen Law Suits against Honda for the issue described above.

Complaint I was traveling southbound on Sunnybrook where it turns to W. Amherst around 9 o’clock on Wednesday morning, November 23rd. I was prepared to slow down for the traffic light since I have been to that location so many times. My speed was between 30-35mph. Surprisingly, there was no resistance when I stepped on the brake. I released the brake and stepped on it again. It still didn’t work. My car started sliding and wavering and it hit the right-side curb. It didn’t stop after hitting the curb and I repeated the step-and-release action a couple of times. After the brake failed, I pulled up the parking brake and my car eventually stopped. The brake failed. Luckily, there was no car in the intersection while my car was out of control and sliding. I was in total shock and desperate fear. I was afraid I was going to crash or even worse situation. That extreme short time of emotional rollercoaster was super distressing and I don’t feel safe driving after the accident. I felt even more horrified thinking what could have happened if there were other drivers or pedestrians involved. I was in tears and all shaking. There is a police report for the accident. The police office also stated that “ was able to easily push the brake pedal to the floor”. One more note is that my car past the state inspection on November 17th. My car was later towed to a Honda-certified body shop. The body shop technician also mentioned the brake didn’t pass the test while diagnosing the car. Also, I asked for a copy of the diagnostic report which will be forthcoming as a hard copy. It was a terrifying accident putting my life and potentially other people’s lives in danger. I hope that this report will bring awareness to Honda manufacturers and public safety agent. It should not happen to another driver.

On 9/25/25, while exiting the freeway with no cars in front of mine for as far as I could see, the "BRAKE” indicator light flashed once and. the car came to a jolting stop. As soon as I pressed on the accelerator the car engaged and I was able to drive normally. A new light was on my dashboard with two white lines beneath the “ACC” and “LKAS” lights. A similar incident occurred to while driving the car on 12/15/24 and a NHTSA complaint was filed (#11632264). Honda followed up and the car was assessed by a technician who could not recreate the same response and determined that the radar was "misaligned".

As I was driving about 20 mph on a two lane road through a neighborhood, I went through an area with cones on either side of the road where the road narrowed some because of construction. There were large metal or steel plates covering the road for about 4 feet or so over the asphalt, but nothing that impeded driving forward. As I approached that area, my car’s BRAKE message flashed a few times and beeped before my car abruptly slammed to a stop in the middle of the road, shortly before the metal plates. This happened so quickly that I was unable to react when I first saw the flashing “brake” message and heard the beeping.

Everything not bolted or belted down came forward immediately. After the incident I pulled into a convenience store to regroup, calm down and turn off my automatic braking system which I no longer trust. I have a short, 15 second video (mp4) from my dash cam but was unable to attach it for this report.

Mar 06, 2025

Driving on a regular paved road following the speed limit (35 miles per hour) when the automatic emergency braking system engaged randomly; the car speed went from 35 miles to a near and sudden stop and almost caused a rear-end collision. Phantom braking. This is the second time this has happened with no visible reason in terms of road conditions or flying birds, blowing trash, etc. that could explain this. I am afraid to drive the car out of fear that Phantom Braking will cause an accident/potential injuries. I cannot imagine this happening on a freeway at higher speed—distater. I was driving on a viaduct (on the top level with car traffic below and on the first occasion, with a river running below). Could it be that the safety features such as camera sensors are misfiring and putting people in real danger. It makes no sense for safety features such as are making driving more dangerous than without them. I am going to have to spend $250 for Honda mechanic to diagnose and who knows how much to repair it, but it is clearly an engineering/mechanical problem created by Honda. This vehicle also fewer than 40K miles on it despite being a 2018 model. Please, please require Honda to issue a recall before something tragic happens.

Feb 04, 2025

On several occasions my automatic emergency braking has engaged when there is no car in front of me. Typically this happens when another car is in the left turn lane and my car is passing it. The other vehicle is completely in the other lane and I am in my lane. There is no visible obstruction to my vehicle's path. This posses a significant damage of me being rear ended by any car following too closely to my car. This has happened on numerous occasions.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

23 complaints

The driver side sun visor became very difficult to operate and when trying to place in back in the stored / upright position it will not go into place and hangs down 2-4" that can cause visibility problems especially for taller drivers. This is a very common defect on several Honda vehicles as seen on Honda Forums or a Google search of Honda Sunvisor problem.

May 04, 2025

The driver side sun visor will not stay in a stowed position. Instead, it flops down and blocks my view of the road. It has become progressively worse. I have tried moving the visor to the side position so I can see out of the front windshield but that creates another safety issue because it is so loose that it literally swings when I turn or go over any bumps and hits me causing another major safety distraction. By not being able to see without obstruction, my daily drive is much more hazardous. I've shown this to the dealer who said that the issue is "VERY COMMON" and that the failure is due to the internal parts of the visor simply breaking and rendering the car visor to be useless for its' intended purpose and dangerous as it now obstructs view and swings uncontrollably when car is in motion. This is now a constant safety hazard.

Mar 20, 2025

Sun visors are extremely hard to move. May require two hands.

Mar 04, 2025

Driving on freeway when a loud noise came from driver side window and the window had completely shattered. The whole window was completely gone by the time I was able to realize what happened. It was like it broke all at once.

Jan 15, 2025

The visor on the driver's side does not go all the up or down. This puts the driver and passengers at risk for an accident, especially if driving into the sun by limiting needed visibility for the driver. The visor was brought to the dealer's attention.. He said I would be responsible for the cost of a new visor and installation. I was told upon buying the car that it was tight because it was new and would "work itself out." It never has become better., only looser.

The Driver's side seat belt would sound and feel like it latched but then when pressure was applied to the seat belt, the belt would unlatch. This happens at least once a day when driving. Having a seatbelt become unlatched while driving is incredibly unsafe and troublesome. I brought the car to the dealer and they confirmed that the seatbelt became unlatched when they tested the phenomenon. I also looked it up on Honda's recall list and it looks like CR-Vs from 2017-2020 have had this problem and many have been recalled. However, it seems as though my vehicle was not part of the recall.

I received notification of the 2 seat belt recalls on my 2018 Honda CRV. I promptly made an appointment with my local dealership, Honda of Clear Lake in League City, Texas to take for repair. I made arrangements to work from home for the day since I would not have my vehicle for my lengthy commute to work and made arrangements for my neighbor to follow me to the dealership and bring me home so I could leave my car for the day. Upon arrival, I was informed my car would need to remain with them for at least 2 days to complete this safety recall. I cannot be without my vehicle for 2 days and cannot believe it takes that long to make this repair. This is not rebuilding an engine. This safety problem is not my fault or something I did. Honda should be required to complete the repairs in a half day - full day at most. Otherwise, unsafe situations will continue to be on the road since people work and do not have 2 days to be without a car especially in a city with long commutes and no viable public transportation from where I live to where I work. This dealership is a nightmare and should be held accountable for not making recall repairs in a timely manner.

The power driver liftgate strut exploded and hit the top of the hatchback, snapping the bolt in half and damaging the threads which attach the stud bolt to the hatch.

Nov 13, 2025

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while her husband was operating the tailgate, he became aware that the driver's side gas strut had exploded and was visible on the outside of the vehicle but was still attached to the vehicle. There were only minor scrapes to the paint job on the tailgate. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the driver's side tailgate gas strut needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

The harness inside the left hand side back door was crushed and shorted thereby autolock not functioning. After discussions with dealer and Honda US HQ they would not cover any portion of $530 bill to replaced crush harness cable that is inside the door, Even though nobody has access to this wire as it is inside the door. The only reason why it would be crushed is due to poor or incorrect assembly during manufacturing and over time it shorted out causing the autolock to stop. The only thing that is visible is the black tube that routes the wiring from door frame to inside the door. The problem is crushed wire inside door. On a door that is hardly used (left hand passenger side behind driver door). Due to safety issue, car was repaired at Madison Honda at Madison, NJ for $530+tax. This is an unreasonable repair expense to consumer.

All warning lights appearing on the dashboard unexpectedly which then prevents the cruise control and other features from working. This issue comes and goes and makes it unsafe to drive. A new battery was installed but that did not solve the issue and no one has a solution. There are many websites stating this exact same problem. Different years and both CR-V and Pilots.

Nov 23, 2024

While driving all the warning lights for every vehicle system came on. I was just pulling onto a highway when this occured and was not sure to pull to the side for fear vehicle was going to have a problem, especially when the alerts for break system failure came on.

I was driving my mother's 2018 Honda CR-V at a steady rate of about 30 mph when there was a warning chirp and the car suddenly braked hard and came to a complete stop. At that time, I was at least 30 feet behind the car in front and both my car and the one in front were traveling at the same speed. I can only assume that the collision avoidance system kicked in unexpectedly. After stopping, I restarted the car and proceeded normally, with no warning lights showing.

I'm elderly (disabled) and need to drive to get medicine and doctors appointments. The fuel pump is on recall and I can not wait until the fall to get the pump replaced. No Honda dealers have the pumps in stick yet. I need help ASAP. Thank you

Sudden unexpected acceleration. Multiple occurences during same outing, almost caused me to have an accident . had to HARD break while engine continued to surge. Had vehicle towed to Honda Dealer. They said No Code set and couldn't duplicate condition. They kept vehicle 2 weeks and drove multiple times but couldn't duplicate problem. Since no code set, nothing fixed. Do not believe any diagnosis on components were done. My opinion.

Jan 26, 2024

While driving (road trip 500 miles round trip), all the dashboard lights turned with no real indication of what the issues was. I pulled over to see if there was anything noticeable and did not see anything exteriorly nor once I opened the hood of the car. I continued my drive home (remaining 100 miles or so) and once I parked my car in driveway, I noticed a strong smell with black smoke coming from exhaust pipe with black oil at the end of my tailpipes. My car is currently at dealers getting looked at and they recommended changing my fuel injector and spark plugs, which they completed ($2,000) and I AM STILL having issues.!!! Doing my research online I noticed that there was a recall of this vehicle in China but not in the US, which is unacceptable. Something needs to be done ASAP!

I was reversing and waiting for cars to pass with my hand on the gear control when it moved without me holding the button. As I was on the road, I was curious and was able to move it without my foot on the brake and without holding the button. This was all in the same ride. Later, the gear shift moved sometimes still but not all the time as it did the first time. I have never had this happen, so something seems wrong. The car is a 2018 model, so it is not that old and this worries me so I wanted to file this.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2023 LOST POWER/ACCELERATION - THE ENGINE LIGHT & ALL OTHER LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SPEED DROPPED FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 45 IN SECONDS. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TIME BEFORE A SEMI HIT US FROM BEHIND. THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVABLE UNDER 45 PMH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION (4 MILES) AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND CHARGED ME $215 FOR A BATTERY AND $160 TO RUN CODING AND CLEAR CODES. I DROVE AWAY, GOING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, AND HIT THE MAXIMUM SPEED OF 50MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER/ACCELERATION AGAIN, AND ALL DASH ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 MILES AWAY, AND MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE JUNE OF 2023. I DID PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY BELIEVE IT IS THE HEAD GASKETS. THEY FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THAT, AND AGAIN, THEY TEST-DROVE IT, AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE STAYING WARM IN THE VERY COLD MONTHS IN THE WINTER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EXPLAINS HONDA MOTORS ARE SO EFFICIENT THEY DON'T IDLE HIGH ENOUGH FOR THE CAR TO STAY WARM. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED FOR 8 MONTHS TO DATE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T GIVE UPDATES OR EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IS GOING ON. WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS STARTED. OTHER THAN THAT, I CAN'T GET AN UPDATE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND HONDA BASICALLY PUTS IT BACK ON TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WON'T SEEM TO HELP ME RESOLVE THE ISSUE EITHER, PUTTING IT BACK ON THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR NOT SUPPLYING THE WARRANTY COMPANY WITH THE DETAILS THEY NEED TO APPROVE ANY FURTHER WORK.

In January 2023 our vehicle began having numerous issues with sensors, alarms, door locks, the car would turn itself on and drain the battery overnight and at times would not shut off without pulling the main fuse. Through research online it was clear that the problem was the Body Control Module (BCM). There are many, many reports online of the 2018 CRV having this problem, so I took it to the dealer and they had never heard of the issue. They tried to do diagnostics but had no way to determine if it was the BCM. Finally, I asked them to just replace the BCM even without a diagnosis, and after 2 months (there were significant back orders of this part) we were able to get it installed in the car and all was fine. Fast forward to last week (April 2025) and it’s starting up again - electronics turning on randomly, battery drain, windows going down in the garage, warning lights all illuminated, dead battery every day - so the BCM that was installed in 2023 has failed AGAIN. Honda absolutely knows about this issue as they have a recall for Accords. However, I paid $1000 to fix it in 2023 and will no doubt pay at least that much now to do it again. Meanwhile, the car is effectively inoperable and can’t be safely operated on the road. Honda needs to RECALL this issue and fix it for good.

All for the safety features light remains on after starting and driving my car. I drive my car for 2 to 3 days per week. The most recent maintenance on my car was the Honda recall and alignment at the dealer. Reading various chats this seems to be a comma issue for the Honda CRV. I am concerned if saftey features work and if my sensors are defected. I purchased my car December 2018 with little over 67, 000k miles.

Apr 03, 2025

Summary of Issue: I am submitting this complaint regarding unresolved safety recall issues and recurring emission system failures with my 2018 Honda CR-V. Safety Recall Unresolved for Over One Year: I received a safety recall notice in early 2024 concerning my vehicle’s fuel pump, but despite numerous follow-ups with both Honda Customer Support and my local dealership, the issue has not been addressed. The necessary parts are not available, and the problem continues to be postponed for over a year, presenting potential safety risks. Emission System Disorder: In 2022, I experienced issues with the emission system in my vehicle, and the case was registered under Case Number 13205072. However, in 2025, the emission system malfunctioned again, and the dealer attributed it to a fuel injector problem. This contradicts the original diagnosis and raises further concerns about a defect in the emission system that may have existed since the vehicle was purchased. Dealer Excuse for Issue: Recently, the dealership has suggested that a faulty fuel injector caused the emission system failure, but I believe the underlying issue could be more serious, potentially related to the recall and the original emission system defect.

2018 Honda CRV with 47,000 miles bought 12/23/24. Upon driving the car that evening all warning lights on dashboard lit up, and every warning started popping up on the dash - hill start assist error, power steering problem, parking brake problem, vehicle stability assist problem, etc. Car drove without being affected but the warnings continued cycling through on the dashboard. Took it back to the dealer I bought it from, and they said the battery wasn't tightened down all the way. I drove it and the next day all the lights came back on, and cycled through all the warning system errors. It has since stopped again, but this seems to be an issue with the 2018 CRVs.

The engine and cooling system failed. Coolant is leaking into the engine, causing misfires, loss of power, and potentially leading to complete engine failure. The vehicle is currently at Zimbrick Honda in Madison, WI, and the engine is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle suddenly lost power while driving in traffic on multiple occasions. Each time, the vehicle slowed down unexpectedly and could not accelerate, creating a risk of being rear-ended, losing control in traffic flow, or becoming stranded in an active traffic lane. This sudden loss of power posed a serious danger to me and other drivers around me. Zimbrick Honda, an authorized Honda dealership, inspected the vehicle and confirmed coolant intrusion into the engine, repeated misfires, and loss of power. Their diagnosis concluded that the engine has failed and must be replaced. The vehicle has been inspected by the authorized Honda dealership (Zimbrick Honda). American Honda reviewed my goodwill assistance request using the dealership’s diagnosis, but no separate manufacturer inspection was conducted. The vehicle has not been inspected by the police or insurance because no collision occurred. It remains at the dealership and is available for inspection. Before the complete engine failure, the vehicle experienced sudden loss of power, engine hesitation, and misfires. The check engine light appeared during the incidents. The first occurrence happened on August 19th, 2025, at approximately 109,356 miles.

My vehicle stalled out while driving on the highway, with all electrical components going haywire and the vehicle stopped accelerating or maintaining speed. After being towed 61 miles, my mechanic says that it is not making a loud noise when he tries to test-drive it, had no power, and returned MANY error codes, including one for the turbo. Mechanic believes that the turbo failed and triccered all electrical systems to go haywire. Honda dealership service tech confirms (without commitment, as they did not personally examine it) that the mechanics explanation makes sense and my experience describes what would happen if the turbo failed. In addition to putting me in an unsafe situation on the highway, this malfunction may end up costing me thousands between parts, labor, and towing costs. Research on the problem tells me this has happened to many other 2017-2017 CRV owners and Honday has simply failed to address the issue. UNACCEPTABLE.

Jan 27, 2024

The car does not get up to operating temperature at idle during cold climates. If the car is started and left to idle and warm up, the heat will not blow and the front window will not defrost. If the car is driven on short trips through town, it will not heat up at all. Also, if the car is driven around and gets up to operating temperature and then left to idle, the car's temperature will slowly edge down and cause no heat to blow from the vents. I have brought the car in to the dealer twice for the same issue only for them to tell me that this is a normal characteristic of the car and that nothing is wrong. I have never had this issue on any other vehicle. Additionally, the car suffers from oil dilution in the engine which cases poor performance and thinned oil. The oil level gradually increases over time after being driven because of gasoline entering the engine oil. I believe that this will eventually lead to premature wear in my engine.

My vehicle stops going down the road. It starts slowing down quickly and is very hard to drive like the power steering is going out. Hopefully I can get to a shoulder to turn it off. I let it sit for a few minutes and it will restart. Close to my home, there are curves where there is no shoulder and it has happened multiple times there. It is not consistent and usually occurs within the first 30 minutes of your drive. This has happened since I bought brand new but is occurring more frequently now.

May 15, 2025

Vehicle stalled when accelerating to overtake another vehicle. No errors/warnings, displays were working but speed suddenly dropped and does not increase no matter what. It was scary. Luckily I was able to come back to a shoulder lane and stop the vehicle. Vehicle ran normally after powering off and starting again. I've been driving the vehicle for couple of hours on freeway by then. This happened 4 times over the summer. Dealers are asking for $200 to diagnose but not promising that they will be able to find the problem since the issue does not happen consistently. I suspect it is due to oil dilution problem for which Honda performed repair last year.

At times when I press down on the accelerator, the car tries to cut off! I have had times where I have come close to getting hit by another car. Don’t know if anyone else is having this problem but I really like my car. I am scared that I am going to get hit when the car tries to stall when I push down on gas pedal. Thank You for taking the time to hear about my situation!

Shortly after purchasing car I started getting all the error messages showing after I started the car and they would remain on sometimes it repeatedly happened. I brought it up to dealer several times during and in addition to maintenance and they told me it was not something they could replicate and found no issues. I was told it was the battery but it still happened after battery was replaced. On 07/17/25, with only 137000 miles on the vehicle, the error messages all came on again and the vehicle stalled at a stoplight. It would not shift into gear. Vehicle was towed where they had to replace engine valve cover gasket and the timing chain. The replaced parts listed: RTV gasket, cam chain tensioner, tensioner filter, 2 cam chain tensioner arms, cam chain guide, VTC EX actuator assy, VTC IN actuator assy, flange bolt, cam chain guide B, oil seal, chain, and and new oil. I know this is a known issue with the engine in this model and not an uncommon issue that Honda has refused to admit.

MY 2018 HONDA CR-V IS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OVERFILLED OIL LEVELS WITH A GAS MIXED WITH ENGINE OIL AND GAS SMELL, THIS IS DUE TO GAS LEAK INTO OIL RESERVOIRS. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN OF LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE AND HEALTH RISK CAUSE FROM GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN OF VEHICLE. NHTSA TO REQUIRED HONDA TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE TO GET IT FIX .

MY 2018 HONDA CRV TOURING WITH 1.5L TURBO ENGINE HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SMELL OF FUEL FUMES IN THE INTERIOR CABIN SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN YOU TURN THE AIR ON WITH THE AIR COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE VENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IS APPARENT, WHICH IS ALSO A SERIOUS HEALTH SAFETY CONCERN AS INHALATION OF FUMES IS DEFINITELY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. EVERY TIME I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL, THE DIPSTICK SHOWS THE OIL IS OVERFILLED BEYOND WHAT THE DIPSTICK MEASURES AND THE OIL SMELLS HEAVILY OF GAS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY 5TH GENERATION CRV OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE WITH TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE OIL AND THE SMELL OF FUMES IN THE CABIN. THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY OIL LEVEL TO RISE TO UNSAFE LEVELS THAT WILL ACCELERATE THE DETERIORATION OF EXPENSIVE INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENTS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY PERFORMED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON DECEMBER 4TH 2018, WHERE A MODULE RELATED TO THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE OIL AND SOME SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS INSTALLED. THIS CHANGED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I STILL AM EXPERIENCING THE SICKENING SMELL OF GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN AS WELL AS THE DIPSTICK SHOWING MORE OIL THAN IT CAN MEASURE ALONG WITH THE SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE OIL.

Vehicle threw codes P0172 and P219e. Vehicle was sluggish and idled rough. All lights on the dash flashed and showed that most safety systems were disabled. Vehicle was taken to Honda service center and confirmed by the dealer. Dealer replaced the fuel injectors. Vehicle was less than a year out of warranty for this specific issue. This seems to be a common issue with this model of vehicle as the service center had the same model with the same issue that day.

Car suddenly lost power and dash lights came on while I was passing a large truck, legally, on rural highway. Was unable to pass truck and had to fall back and thankfully no vehicles were coming in opposite direction. Was a pass with caution area with dotted line. Had to have towed to dealership, found to be issue with turbo. Research shows know issue with vehicle, see NHTSA service bulletin 19-032, but Honda states does not involve my VIN number, though exact issue, model, and year. I think this issue should be expand to include all vehicles of same make, model and year.

Multiple engine failure codes appeared on dashboard. Took vehicle for inspection and diagnoses states code P0172 Fuel system too rich. The service technician recommended fuel injector replacement due to faulty injectors. Service advisor did not file a warranty claim on my behalf despite my request to do so. When I called Portfolio Protection, they informed me that the technician did not call in the claim. Portfolio Protection Ever Drive 250 Limited Powertrain Coverage has an exception for injectors listed in the Mechanical paragraph as follows: Mechanical: This Limited Warranty does not provide coverage for service adjustments/cleaning, carburetor, throttle body assembly (except injectors), contaminated fuel system, water ingestion, air conditioning recharge, refrigerant, coolant, battery cables, belts, hoses, brakes (front hubs, drums, shoes, lining, disc rotors and pads), exhaust system, (...) etc. Portfolio Protection and Barber Honda Service Advisor will not acknowledge the exception for injectors clearly stated in the contract. I took the steps required in the contract to file a claim and spoke to multiple adjusters at Portfolio Protection and they refused to acknowledge the exception for injectors. Honda has extended the warranty on fuel injectors for other vehicles due to faulty injectors and incorrect installation during the assembly process as stated on Honda Service Bulletin 22-002. This is clearly an ongoing issue with Honda and needs to encompass all vehicles.

Hi I have been trying to take care of fuel pump related recall for a while and went to Millers Honda NYS REG R- 4040274 3 times and every time I realize there is problems with vehicles safety features and acceleration and it won’t pass inspection. Few times it felt like as if vehicle would stop in the middle of the road because i couldn’t accelerate. Recently I was charged almost 1500 dollars for a problem they should have fixed in 2023. In 2023 I attempted to make a complaint with the DMV and they temporarily fixed the problem and it would come back time to time. Please help and investigate.

High pressure fuel pump failed , could smell gas in air vents. Honda claims it’s separate from its other recall for a fuel pump. Car had been working fine, sudden issue, all lights came on , car started to stutter on acceleration. Had to be towed. No issues prior.

Aug 20, 2025

Issues started in 2018 when it was bought. Before the first oil change dipstick oil level keep going 1 inch over the max level. Exhaust smells gas. Dealership said it’s nothing. Keeps happening over and over. Dealership made a recall fix but fix didn’t help. One day while on a trip, suddenly all lights warning display come on the dash, engine lost power, had to make emergency roadside stop. After a while of sputtering, car run ok until I got into a gas station and bought chevron Techron. Engine running good enough to travel. Warning lights still going off all the time. Went to dealership, they said it was bad fuel and told me to use premium. The warning light came off. Fuel level still go 1 over dipstick max line and exhaust smell gas. Dealership it’s not a fuel dilution issue. warning light ssues linger on and off and too much oil in the dipstick and gas smelling issues never got. resolved. Last year I was told I need the fuel injectors changed but was told self pay as not covered by warranty. I argued that it should be covered as issues started on my first oil change. Dealership said they’ll order new injectors but it’s not changed up to now. Yesterday car lost power again, all dash warning light are on . I wrote Honda USA a year ago but didn’t get a reply.

There are actually two issues that are going on with this car. First off, on three separate occasions, while driving at 70 mph on the freeway in traffic, my car has braked for me and the collision warning went off. However, there was nobody in front of me. The person behind me almost rear ended my vehicle on the last occasion this has happened. Now, my car is undrivable. Three times, ALL my sensor lights went off. The first time, we changed the battery, thinking the battery was dying. The second time, we took it to Affordable Autobody in Murrieta, CA. They ran a diagnostic and stated that we did not reset the computer when the battery was changed. The third time ALL the sensor lights went on, we took it to DCH Temecula, CA. They ran a diagnostic and said that it was the fuel injectors. Our mechanic stated that the fuel injectors are going bad due to a bad fuel pump. My car has been sitting at the dealership for more than a week, undrivable. We contacted claims department, but no action has been taken. DCH Temecula states they have no available fuel pumps and will not fix the injectors unless the claims department orders it. I have left without a loaner car, stranded. Nobody seems to be taking this seriously and there is no time frame as to when this situation will be fixed. It is becoming a huge inconvenience not having a way to get to work. Please help!

I was driving on the highway at a speed of 65-70 MPH. The car's adaptive cruise control was set and keeping pace. Suddenly, every light on the dash turned on with the adaptive cruise control and lane assist turning off. Luckily my hands were on the wheel and the car didn't leave the lane. Eventually, this was diagnosed and attributed to faulty fuel injectors. This seems to be a common problem with the 2017 model Honda CRVs and luckily for me, ended safely. But if this was my wife or kid driving, it could have ended poorly. I still ask why is the fuel injector issue, which makes the car engine run more rich, connected to the cruise control / lane assist software that can result in a safety problem.

I am so disppointed and frustrated. Exactly ONE year ago my 2018 CRV had power issues. Loss power, excessive and unsafe deceleration when driving on State Highway 20. Every warning light and driver assist notification light up on the dash. My car was jerking and I had to pull to the side of the road. Thankfully not to far from home and able to drive to the house but could not get over 20MPH. Took to the dealer, fuel pump replaced at MY COST. Here we are ONE yeat later and all dash board lights on again in similar fashion. Car is currently at dealer ship with noted need for fuel injectors. I find it peculiar and upsetting as having done research 2022 and now again 2023: there have been issues with fuel pump and fuel injectors reported on NHTSA, forums, to honda and articles about the recurrent issues with the 2018 CRV and Honda does not want to be responsible. There were some recalls of the 2018 CRV but my VIN# did not identify as one. The 2018 CRV has recurrent issues in this department. My car was part of the S/B 18-114 campaign to "fix" and issue reguarding the oil/fuel mixture and here my car is having issues that I feel are a result.

Feb 24, 2023

All warning lights are on and Honda dealer said I need to replace the fuel injectors. My car is a 2018 model with just 60k miles. I searched online and there are many consumers reporting the same issue. Please help us resolve this problem. Thank you.

I WAS TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON LOCAL HIGHWAY. NO CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME FOR A 1/4 MILE. IT HAD RAINED OVERNIGHT AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE SLIGHTLY DAMP BUT NO PUDDLES. I WAS CROSSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR'S 'BRAKE' ALARM (FORWARD COLLISION SYSTEM) FALSELY TRIGGERED ON THE DASHBOARD AND INSTANTLY SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND BROUGHT MY 2018 CRV TO A DEAD STOP. MY CARGO WENT FLYING FORWARD AND MY HEAD JERKED FORWARD HARD. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. NO CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE FOR SURE CRASHED INTO MY CAR. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THAT AFTERNOON. THEY SAID THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT. THEY CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT THERE "WERE NO TROUBLE CODES STORED IN THE VEHICLE". THEY SAID THEY "CONTACTED HONDA AND THERE WERE 'NO KNOWN ISSUES' AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO FOR ME". THEY SUGGESTED I TURN OFF THE FORWARD COLLISION SYSTEM IF I WAS CONCERNED. THIS IS CRAZY AND HAZARDOUS. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT PUT ME (AND OTHERS) IN DANGER LIKE THIS. THANK GOD MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. I PRAY THEY AREN'T WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF RECALL OR WARNING REGARDING THIS.

ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ENGAGED FOR NO REASON, LOCKING THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH. MAY 5, 2019, CLEAR DAY, 4:30P, HEADING EAST (SUN BEHIND), NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC FAR BEHIND. FIVE LANE ROAD - TWO LANES EACH DIRECTION AND A MIDDLE TURN LANE -- AND STRAIGHT IN THIS AREA. TURNED RIGHT ONTO THE ROAD FROM AN INTERSECTION AND GOT UP TO SPEED. THE WARNING SOUND FROM THE ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BEEPED THREE TIMES WHILE THE BRAKES WERE HARSHLY APPLIED CAUSING LIGHT SKIDDING IN DRY CONDITIONS. THEN THE BRAKES WERE JUST AS SUDDENLY RELEASED. HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF I WAS IN TRAFFIC. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE BRAKING FORCE MADE ME PUSH THE PEDAL MORE. EXTREMELY UNSAFE INCIDENT. VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 3,710 MILES, 2018 CR-V EX 1.5 TURBO AWD WITH CVT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

After my last oil change on October 29, 2025, I began noticing a persistent gasoline smell outside the car. Concerned, I took the vehicle to Prince Honda Tifton and explained the issue in detail. They inspected it but reported no leaks and said everything looked fine. However, the odor continued. Starting December 1, 2025, I began smelling gasoline inside the car, with a particularly strong odor when starting the engine. I believe this poses a serious health risk and a potential fire hazard while driving.

Honda has failed to provide the necessary parts to fix a safety recall on my vehicle. This recall is affecting my ability to renew my California DMV registration, as the state requires all safety recalls to be completed before renewal. I have contacted my local Honda dealership multiple times, and they have informed me that the parts are unavailable with no estimated repair date. This situation has put me in a difficult position where I cannot legally drive my vehicle due to expired registration, even though the issue is beyond my control. Honda has not provided an alternative solution, such as a loaner car or reimbursement for transportation costs. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter and urge Honda to resolve this issue immediately.

As I was driving on the interstate, heading to get gas because I had 25 miles left (according to my car's system), my car stalled from going about 70 mph. At the exact same time, I got warnings for what seemed like every system of the car. Luckily, I was able to get on the left shoulder before I stopped moving, but if traffic was worse or if I wasn't as close to one of the shoulders, I would've been stranded in a lane (or two) of the interstate. After I took my car to the dealership, they determined I had a bad fuel pump and that it needed to be replaced. Turns out that I didn't have 25 miles left; I had 0. I emailed Honda Customer Service, mentioning a prior recall they had for fuel pumps, but it seems that didn't include mine.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

7 complaints

After vehicle was shut down for about 5 to 10 minutes while in a store, all lights on the dashboard came on with warnings that most all safety related systems had "problems" (Tire Monitoring System, Emissions System, Brake System, Brake Hold, Power steering , Variable Steering Assist Problem, Hill start assist, Adaptative Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation, Road Departure) Vehicle would otherwise run fine and could be driven home. Emergency brake still seems to operate. This has happened twice in the last six months and renders the vehicle less safe to operate without these systems fully functional.

Sep 21, 2025

I purchased a Honda CRV in 2018, and from the first day of driving it home, my dashboard displayed numerous warning signs. I immediately returned to the dealer, where they diagnosed and claimed to fix the issue. The vehicle ran fine for a couple of months, but the same problem reoccurred at least twice within the next six months. Each time, I scheduled an appointment with the dealership, and they assured me that all issues were resolved. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was unable to use my vehicle for two years. Over the past 12 months, the same issue has resurfaced. When I approached the dealer, they refused to repair it, citing that the vehicle is now out of warranty. This issue has persisted since day one and was never truly resolved, occurring intermittently. I have opened multiple cases with Honda America and worked with them for nearly six months. Despite this, I have not received any clear communication or resolution. They claim to have discussed the issue with the dealership and local Honda representatives, but always return with the same response: the case is denied. The Honda America agent insists there is nothing wrong despite the warning signs. The major concern is that when these warnings appear, I am unable to use advanced features like cruise control and lane change assistance. My teenage daughter, who also drives this vehicle, becomes panicked and frightened whenever these warnings appear. I urgently need help from your team to resolve this issue, as both the Honda dealers and local representatives have been unresponsive to my claims. Thank you for your assistance.

Multi purpose camera failure that impacts the safety features in my vehicle. Many people have reported this, however Honda still hasn’t created a recall on it. Dealership wants $1900 to replace, but this is a safety feature how is this not on Honda to handle?

May 28, 2024

Lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, collision mitigation control, and other safety features are unavailable. Problem has been confirmed by independent service center. Has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No prior warning lamps until all warning lamps come on. Appears to be related to fuel injector failure code but the mechanic is not certain. I wonder if this is related to the fuel/oil contamination issue that this vehicle was part of a recall for.

While in line to park the car in the del mar fairgrounds, (San Diego, CA) after a 25-minute ride and 59 F degrees outside, main display start sending all type of 'Problem' messages, one after another, as follow: - Brake Hold System Problem, - Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, - Vehicule Stability Assist (VSA), - Hill Start Assist, - Adaptative Cruise Control, - Collision Mitigation System, - Road Departure Mitigation System, - Electric Parking Brake, - Tire Pressure Monitor, - Emissions System, Brake System. Despite all Messages, the car keeps running and is able to go off and start again. Perhaps, the electric parking brake may prevent you to go if connected, since you have no control of it (happened once). This is the second time in two weeks that this failure occurs. It may or may not be related to another consistent issue regarding the side display (the one used for radio control, brightness, car setup, etc.) which becomes unstable and change/beep with no control from one screen to another, starting with the brightness control. This case requires the car to turn off and restart, solving the issue for a couple of weeks, and up to two months. I'm writing down this complaint because other owners express the same issue in forums, with no official statement from Honda so far. Countermeasures recommended by other users are: Exchange the battery for new one Drive around and apply brakes firmly. The above fixed the issue for me. A cell video of this issue is available. Attached picture shows all warning alerts with car engine idle. Thank you.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

This all started when I purchased a 2018 Honda CRV from Motorworld in the late months of 2021 used. When this issue started happening, Motorworld ignored me when I was asking questions. Then, when I brought it in for service, they used tactics like "if we don't find anything, we will have to charge you a service fee" or call me the next day and say "before we hook it up, it may be your easy pass". They took the car in after I had complained about going down [XXX] , and with nothing in front of my car, it slammed on the brakes going from 40-0mph. When they got done, I went to pick up the car, and they told me it was the aftermarket windshield, but it was the one I bought with the car. I called Honda, they made Motor World take it in, and then called me and told me that they have the information and would share it with the appropriate parties. It has continued to happen, and I could get killed if it happens to me. I called to give Honda a more detailed recent incident, and the lady was like They closed this case. I have been waiting for a solution, and Honda just closed the case. I have been worried about the family's safety for 4 years. When it happened the brake warning comes on and the car just stopped. Please dont let them hide this issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have been having issues with my car abruptly stopping by itself. One example is when I was driving down the road with no one behind me and the car went from 40MPH to 0. The car behind me almost hit me. But MotorWorld's excuse to this was maybe this was because of the sun!!!!! I had called MotorWorld when this first started happening and they claimed they never heard of this happening before after bringing the car in to be looked at they kept asking if i was sure I wanted it to be looked at because with will cost me money if no codes show. I had it looked at and they told me it was my EZ-pass then it was my aftermarket window that I bought the car with (even though they found codes while troubleshooting). I eventually asked them to disable it, which they told me they couldn't. I found online that there is a button to disable it every time I get in the car. I had called Honda directly to file a complaint which the person told me to take it to get a second opinion. I told him I took it to a certified Honda dealer why would I have to take it anywhere else. I am still driving this unsafe car that stops by itself. I would have filed this a long time ago, but I was not aware of this reporting system. Thats why I reported it to honda who did nothing for me, but mislead me for months before I just gave up on them

On 2/10/2024 I was stopped waiting to put gas in my car when all of a sudden multiple lights lite up on my dash board (vehicle stability assist, vsa problems, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control problems, collision mitigation problems, road departure mitigation system problem, power steering (eps) problems, electric brake system problem, emission system problem, brake system problem, * all integral to safe driving for me. I was able to drive slowly to my mechanic and he was able to do a diagnostic assessment and it showed a code B1234 (Air Mix Control Motor Circuit (Driver's) Short. He was able to turn all the warning lights off. I am now a little afraid to use my car long distance until I can get assured that this will not happen again. In searching the internet I find that this is not an isolated occurrence. There are multiple complaints regarding this same issue.

Feb 10, 2024

2018 CRV repeatedly had emergency brake amber light go on in the center of the dashboard. It goes on for a few seconds then shuts back off. This has been happening intermittently for the last two months. It has happened in the past(years ago) but there is no documentation of that complaint. Took vehicle to Honda dealership last week. Initially could not find what was wrong. Finally after hours of running tests? It came down to one code and that the issue was the electronic brake booster. The vehicle stayed overnight. After paying a large sum of money, 5 days later, the light turned on amber on the dash again. I called Honda Service repeatedly but could not reach the Service personnel that had assisted me 5 days previously. Finally talked to another service manager last evening at 6:00 p.m. Bringing car in first thing Friday Morning October 21st. One service manager stated that she had not seen this problem before. There are a few incidences that can be found on the internet with what appear to be simple fixes i.e. low brake fluid, air in line, problem with software, problem with a line to the display and still others. The end all was the issue was treated as a safety issue by one ,while another person stated something alluding to if it was a serious safety issue the warning light on the dash would have been red and not amber. In addition, yesterday when the light came on.(after the problem was purportedly repaired) I was doing about 40. There was a brief pause/resistance to the brake as I was slowing. This happened on a main thoroughfare at 0915 a.m. None of this has made ANY sense and I stated as such.

Oct 20, 2022

The forward collision sensor basically completely freaked out for no reason at all and when I applied the brakes to try to slow down and get off the road, the anti lock braking system activated and I could not slow the car down. Thankfully I was not near any other cars or obstacles or I would have been involved in an accident. I took the car to the dealer to be checked out and they were not able to replicate the issue. There were no prior warnings or messages before this happened, it was completely random and has happened several times.

STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE

7 complaints

Car has been driven only 50k miles and while making right turns the steering clicks and often kicks back . Seems like a problem with manufacturing

Aug 28, 2025

Steering sticks at highway speeds, particularly around curves. While driving on the highway I noticed around curves that instead of the steering wheel straightening out on it's own (or with very minimal effort) the steering would stick and I had to force it out of that stick. It was very alarming at first and frankly terrifying with how badly it was stuck. I did have the lane keep assist on so I thought maybe it was that, however I have since been driving this vehicle without the lane keep assist and although it doesn't stick as badly, it does indeed still stick. This issue occurs nearly each time I am going around a curve, sometimes when I am making slight turning maneuvers like lane switches, and rarely while going straight. The exception to that last one is when I have the lane keep assist on, then sometimes it will stick even when going straight. Now, before you start thinkin that this is somehow user error and I am unaware of how these systems are supposed to work. I was a service advisor for Honda for several years, I have driven many Hondas and many other vehicles with these types of systems; this is NOT supposed to happen and this is NOT normal. I have driven this car for just over a year and put over 20K miles on it and there is a distinct difference between normal operation and when the issue occurs. Additionally, there is a metal-on-metal clunk and what I think sounds like a very slight grind when turning the steering wheel fully to the left and right that comes from the steering box and you can feel that the steering wants to push you back in to the opposite direction. I believe that there is a connection between the steering and the lane keep assist for this issue and that it's related to Service Bulletin 18-103. However, I have not yet had this vehicle diagnosed at the dealership since I no longer work at Honda and I do not want to pay their diagnostic fee.

Apr 01, 2025

Steering initially sticks when attempting to change lanes and "grabs" when going straight. Has occurred numerous times, whenever we drive the car.

Mar 29, 2025

Steering requiered red light in the dashboard and a lane departure warning

Nov 27, 2024

The steering moves left or right unexpectedly. A jerking motion is felt and a clunk noise is heard. The symptoms and offered solution are identical to Honda Service Bulletin 18-103. Supposedly our vehicle (VIN) is not included in the known recall for this safety hazard. We believe they have not identified all 2018 CRV's with this faulty steering box. Neither the Honda dealership nor Honda America have been responsive to this safety issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20-25 MPH, the brakes suddenly activated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and continued driving. The contact stated the road was uneven due to construction and there was metal covering over the parts of the road being worked on. The brake light flashed on the instrument panel, advising the driver to apply the brakes while there was no other vehicle in front of the contact to activate the sensor. The failure occurred intermittently. The dealer was informed of the failure but had not diagnosed the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

'NEVER HAD ANYONE COMPLAIN OF THIS'. I ALSO ADVISED THEM, THE BREAK LIGHT FLASHES 'OUT OF THE BLUE' WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I FEEL ON EDGE DRIVING THE CAR NOT KNOWING IF IT WILL BREAK UNEXPECTEDLY!

SHE FELT WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS MINOR TIRE UNBALANCE, BUT SUDDENLY THE TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE AND SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD THE SPARE TIRE MOUNTED.

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED HONDA CRV FROM HONDA OF JOLIET. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS, I NOTICED THIS SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE. TO BE SURE, I HAD MY BROTHER IN LAW DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HE MENTIONED THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WHEEL BEARING OR THE BRAKES. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 31, I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR SERVICE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I HAD NEW BRIDGESTONE TIRES. I WAS CONFUSED AND STEVE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE SERVICE DEPT. RECOMMENDED NEW TIRES. I GO TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE DIFFERENT. THE BRAND WAS ADVANTA TIRES. LOOKING ONLINE CONSUMER REPORTS FOUND THE ADVANTA HAD AN AVERAGE TREAD LIFE OF 44,500 MILES COMPARED WITH AN AVERAGE OF 71,000 MILES FOR ALL THE TIRES. IN ADDITION, THESE TIRES HAVE POOR PERFORMANCE IN WINTER CONDITIONS. AFTER SURVEYING THE DEALER LOT, I AM VERY CONFUSED AS TO WHY THESE TIRES WERE CHOSEN AS THE OTHER VEHICLES ALL HAVE BETTER TIRES (E.G. CONTINENTAL, BRIDGESTONE, AND MICHELIN). PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING, MY VEHICLE NOW DRIVES WORSE THAN BEFORE..ON FRIDAY, I EMAILED THE OWNERS OF THE DEALERSHIP, MIKE, HORST, AND RICK KORALLUS. OF THE THREE, MIKE KORALLUS RESPONDED AND GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. TODAY, THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP BY SERVICE. AFTER WORK I DROVE BACK TO JOLIET TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE, HOPING THE TIRES HAD BEEN ORDERED AND REPLACED AND THE NOISE FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND JAVIER ONCE AGAIN GAVE ME AN INADEQUATE EXPLANATION. THERE IS NO WAY THESE TIRES ARE MAKING IT THROUGH THE WINTER. NOW, I MUST MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH A DIFFERENT DEALER TO MAKE SURE THAT MY INITIAL ISSUE IS RESOLVED. IN FURTHER RESEARCH, NO OTHER TIRE RETAILER INCLUDING WALMART CARRIES THESE TIRES.

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V IN MAY 2018, IT WAS NEW, WITH 717 DEALER MILES ON IT. IT CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA HL 422 PLUS TIRES IN SIZE 235 65R17 AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT. AT 9,292 MILES ON SEPTEMBER 11TH I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE WHICH INCLUDED CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES. ON SEPTEMBER 28TH I WENT ON VACATION AND CAME BACK OCTOBER 5TH. ON A PERFECTLY CLEAR DAY, NO HAZARDS IN THE ROAD, ON INTERSTATE 26 NORTH OF FLORENCE, SC, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR NEXT TO ME BACKFIRING. BUT THEN I HEARD THE DREADED FLAPPING SOUND OF A FLAT TIRE ON MY VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE EXTREMELY BUSY INTERSTATE AND PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THE TIRE WHICH WAS ON THE LEFT REAR. I THEN SEARCHED ON MY PHONE FOR THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO GET A NEW TIRE BECAUSE I STILL HAD ABOUT 140 MILES TO GET HOME, AND DID NOT WANT TO RISK IT ON THE 'DOUGHNUT' SPARE TIRE. I FOUND ONE IN SUMTER, SC, ABOUT 25 MILES OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WENT THERE. THEY PUT ON A NEW TIRE WHICH COST ME $167.52. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT I BELIEVED IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. HE SAID 'LET'S LOOK ON THE INSIDE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY METAL OR OTHER DEBRIS'. THERE WAS NONE. JUST AN INNER SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TREAD. HE BAGGED THE TIRE UP FOR ME. AND I CONTINUED HOME. MONDAY OCTOBER 7TH I WENT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED TO THE PARTS MANAGER WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOOK THE TIRE. HE AGREED THAT IT LOOKED SUSPICIOUS. HE GOT NO POSITIVE RESPONSE AT ALL FROM BRIDGESTONE, AND I CALLED BRIDGESTONE MYSELF. I GOT STONEWALLED AND GOT NO SATISFACTION. BUT HE KEPT DIGGING AND FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO OFFER WHAT THEY SAID WAS HALF OF THE VALUE - $45 - BUT HE TOLD THEM NO, LET'S SEND THE TIRE IN AND MAKE A DETERMINATION AFTER YOU RECEIVE AND INSPECT IT. I GOT A CHECK TODAY $63.01 FOR MY DEFECTIVE TIRE. THE TIRE SELLS ONLINE FOR $159. THEY KNOW THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. *JS

DRIVING MY CAR. HEARD A NOISE, STOPPED AS SOON AS I COULD. PROBABLY ABOUT 1.5 MILES. I HAD A FLAT. IT WASN'T ONE OF THOSE BIG FLAT TIRES YOU GET AND YOU KNOW IT WITHIN 10 SECONDS. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE SPARE TIRE WAS PUT ON, THE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT A NEW TIRE AT THE CLOSEST TIRE PLACE. IT WASN'T THE SAME MANUFACTURER, BUT IT WAS THE SAME TIRE SPECIFICATIONS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE EXACT TIRE. I'VE DONE THAT MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, WITH NO PROBLEM. WELL, THE TIRE PRESSURING SYSTEM LIGHT KEPT GOING ON. I KEPT RESETTING IT AND IT WOULD GO ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY RESET IT. 10 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THE EXACT TIRE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY NEW TIRE. I DID THAT. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE TIRE LIGHT (TPMS) WAS ON AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE RESET AGAIN, AND THAT IT SHOULD BE RESET 3 TIMES REALLY FAST. (IS THIS IN THE MANUAL? IS THIS A REAL THING?) IT HASN'T COME BACK ON. WHAT CONCERNS ME, IS THE SAFETY OF DRIVING WITH A FLAT OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE WITH NO WARNING. AND IT'S SCARY DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON EVERY 10 MINUTES. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN THERE'S A REAL EMERGENCY? IF A WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T COME COME ON WITH A FLAT, WHEN IS IT SUPPOSED TO COME ON? WHEN YOU DON'T PUT ON AN EXACT MATCHING TIRE? WHEN YOU DON'T RESET IT 3 TIMES REALLY FAST? 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT HAD TO BE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES IN A 2 WEEK TIME SPAN.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal thumping sound coming from the tires. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the tires were cupping, and the tread was deteriorating and peeling. All four tires were replaced. The failure persisted and had worsened. The tires have been replaced four times. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The manufacturer assisted in paying for two tires the first time the failure occurred. The contact stated that the manufacturer then refused to provide any more assistance. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin Number: 20-081. The failure mileage was unknown.

Purchased brand new Honda 2018 and it came with Hankook 235/60R18 KINERGY GT H436 BW At 30,000 miles all 4 tires need to be replaced. Honda manufacturer and dealer confirmed that this is a known issue. I contacted Hankook manufacturer and was told that although the 235/60R18 KINERGY GT H436 have a 70,000 mile warranty, the 235/60R18 KINERGY GT H436 tires that come with the new car are designed to only last 30,000 miles out of the usual 70,000. Hankook deliberately engineered their tires to fail at 30,000 putting my life and the life of my family in danger in order to generate a profit. When purchasing my new car I was under the impression (based on the Hankook manufacturer's website) that my new tires would be covered by the 70,000 mile warranty and would thus last more than just 30,000. All my other new cars, the tires lasted well over the warranty that they initially came with. This is the first time that I have ever experienced this. This clearly has nothing do to with my driving pattern, considering that the manufacturer CONFIRMED that they engineer new car tires to FAIL at 30,000 miles.

When vehicle starts it shakes for a few seconds then is fine. When I drive and give it gas my car stutters and feels like it wants to shut off. On the highway with acceleration the check engine light comes on blinking and the car loses power. The codes read misfire I replaced the sparks plugs and coils 4 time already just for it to do it again a couple months later. I read this is a common problem and unsafe Honda needs to do something

Hello NHTS, I have been dealing with my vehicle stalling & losing power while driving on the freeway. This is a very dangerous issue with my Honda CRV. I have had this happen several times now and it was reported to Honda. Honda has not yet placed this issue on recall status. This needs to get looked at before someone gets injured or killed.

June 2, 2025 –Started slowing for stoplight and left turn. Car again was not slowing down as expected when braking so I pressed harder on the brake pedal. It slowed down then but I didn’t go to a complete stop because traffic was moving. Instead, I let the car creep a bit while waiting for an opening to turn left. I then drove a couple of blocks to a 4-way stop where the revving started again when the car came to a full stop. I put it into Park, and it went to 8000 RPM. I turned it off and back on—again back to 8000 RPM. Wouldn’t come out of Park. Turned off again and back on—same thing. Turned off and took my foot off of the brake. The car lurched forward quite a bit before stopping—guess the Parking gear took hold then. I started the car again, and the RPM was normal. This is the second occurrence. Occurred first time in late June, 2024. - Braking and speed control affected - Car trying to accelerate when applying brake can lead to accident harming me and potentially others - Problem has occurred three times over the past year - Vehicle was checked and diagnostics run by dealership in July, 2024. Nothing found, was not able to recreate the scenario. No diagnostics available. - No warnings, messages, or other symptoms other than car not slowing as expected. Took car back to dealership on 6/6/2025 who reminded me that they didn't find anything last time. Am taking it to different dealer for a check this time.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT ANY REASON, BRAKED TO A VIRTUAL STOP, AS THOUGH THERE WERE A VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME, WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY ON A ROAD GOING ABOUT 40MPH. HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO CARS ANYWHERE NEAR MY VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, MY CAR WILL ALSO UNEXPECTEDLY BEEP AND SIGNAL TO ME THAT I MUST BRAKE, AGAIN, WITHOUT A CAR BEING IN FRONT OF ME, AGAIN, WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. THE HONDA DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE LOOKED INTO MY COMPLAINTS, WHICH I SEE AS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING, PARTICULARLY IF THE CAR BRAKES ON A FAST MOVING INTERSTATE, AND THEY ARE "UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND ANY SENSOR ISSUES." THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS OPERATING CORRECTLY IS PATENTLY UNTRUE AND THE OCCURANCES REGARDING THE SENSOR "BRAKE" MESSAGING IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT.

A few weeks ago, my vehicle suddenly turned off at a stop light. For several weeks, it’s been feeling like it’s being forced to take off. Today, the car struggled to turn on and then turned off and all the lights came on. It happened three times. A year ago, I received a recall letter that the fuel pump needed to be replaced and that I would be notified when the parts arrived. When my car starting having issues, my mechanic said it might be the fuel pump. I contacted Honda to replace it and they said the recall had been closed. Now I’m having these issues with my vehicle and I’ve read online about it happening to several people who have owned 2018 Honda CRVs.

Our 2018 CRV Touring modelm has had the dashboard light up like a christmas tree with all codes flashing. We have had the vehicle to the local honda dealer numerous times and also to a private garage. The battery has been changerd out, The Honda dealer performed a sparkplug recall and the car continues to do this with the dashboard lighting up showing all kinds of codes. Last evening for the second time the car would not go above 10 MPH. I had to shut down the engine and restart. This is very dangerous. We bought the car brand new and have had all the maintenance done. My wife is afraid to drive the car, Is there anything NHTSA can do to have Honda look into this problem. From my looking into this it appears quite a few honda CRV's are encountering this problem. This is unsafe. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back from you

During a motor vehicle accident I was hit from behind while stopped by a vehicle going 40-45 miles per hour. I was pushed into another stopped vehicle in front of me. My drivers seat fully reclined and twisted as a result of the impact, and I was not secured into the seat properly as a result. I have multiple injuries from the accident due to the way my body was able to be thrown around the vehicle.

THE SEATS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSE BOTTOM AND BACK PAIN. AFTER DRIVING FOR 30-40 MINUTES THE DRIVER'S BOTTOM BECOMES NUMB. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DRIVER CANNOT ATTEND TO THE ROAD AS EFFECTIVELY WHILE BEING IN EXTREME DISCOMFORT. THE SEATS ARE NOT WELL-DESIGNED IF THEY ARE CAUSING THE DRIVER THIS MUCH PAIN. ADJUSTING THE SEAT IN MANY POSSIBLE POSITIONS DOES NOT ELIMINATE THIS DISCOMFORT.

MY CAR WAS IN PARK. THE PLASTIC TRIM PIECE THAT HOUSES THE CONTROLS FOR THE SEAT, ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, HAS A TRIM PIECE THAT CURVES AROUND TO THE FRONT OF THE SEAT ABOUT 4-5".

I CALLED HONDA AND THEY HAD ME GO TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HAVE THE TRIM PIECE REPLACED. 2 TIMES NOW THIS TRIM PIECE HAS CAUGHT MY PANT LEG ON MY EXIT FROM THE CAR AND I HAVE FALLEN OUT OF THE CAR ON TO THE GROUND. THE SECOND TIME THE TRIM PIECE CAUGHT MY PANT LEG WAS ON JANUARY 23RD. 2019 AND I FELL OUT OF THE CAR ON TO THE GROUND, WRENCHING MY LEFT SHOULDER, LEFT HIP AND SKINNING MY LEFT KNEE. I HAVE CALLED HONDA BOTH TIMES AND MADE A REPORT. I DO HAVE A CASE #, BUT THEY ARE CLOSED TODAY SO I WILL GET THE CASE # ON MONDAY..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

4 complaints

I am submitting this complaint due to repeated and unresolved safety and performance issues. Beginning in mid-2023, the vehicle experienced multiple system-wide failures, including: -All dashboard warning lights illuminating intermittently without cause, sometimes for days. -Sudden failure to accelerate after stopping, including stalling in intersections. -Engine running rich with repeated check engine light activations. On two occasions, the vehicle stalled in the middle of busy intersections, once with my [XXX] child in the car, posing a serious risk to my family and other drivers. The dealership replaced the A/C Control Unit (June 2023) citing it as the cause of the system alerts, but no improvement was seen. The dealership then diagnosed a faulty VSA unit, quoted $2,500, but never ordered the part or followed up. A third-party shop (Mr. Tire) diagnosed a faulty ECM, which the dealership ignored. In September 2023, dealership recommended replacing the fuel injectors, which I paid for out-of-pocket (~$1,000), which resolved the warning lights and stalling. However, ongoing problems persist: The air conditioning system is no longer cooling effectively, despite prior repair. The car also feels underpowered when accelerating or starting, with weak engine revving compared to when the car was new. While no current warning lights appear, the performance is noticeably degraded. In April 2025, the vehicle’s fuel pump was finally replaced under Honda’s service bulletin recall after being on the waiting list for the parts for nearly 1.5 years, but these other concerns remain unresolved. I am submitting this complaint because: The stalling incidents created serious safety hazards in live traffic. The vehicle has experienced repeated systemic failures that align with known issues reported by other 2018 CR-V owners. Despite multiple dealership visits and significant personal expense, the vehicle has not been restored to reliable and safe operating condition.

Every warning light came on at the same time. Everything except the cruise control and lane assist works, eventhough the warning lights are on. There is nothing wrong when driving, the car accelerates fine, brakes work fine. Only the cruise control and lane assist are affected by all the warning lights. Took car to the Honda dealership and was told 2 of my fuel injectors are completely clogged, but I have to replace all 4 of them. Why would fuel injector issue cause EVERY warning light to come on. My car gets great gas mileage (and has since I bought it brand new). Have read numerous forums with this same issue from 2017 Honda CRV to 2023 CRV's. Some have had their fuel injectors replaced and the problem comes back in a few weeks. If the fuel injectors aren't the issue, what exactly is making this happen and how do we know it won't cause the brakes and every other system to fail while driving down the street?

Nov 06, 2024

All the warning lights started displaying on the dashboard over the course of six months. One day they would all start coming up one at time, then when I would turn off the vehicle for an extended amount of time, they were no longer there. Finally at my oil change appointment I brought up the issue and I was told it was a fuel injector issue. Apparently they’ve had many CR-V owners come in with the same problems…over $1000 to repair!

The infotainment display screen on my 2018 Honda CR-V with 10,000 miles is prone to “regularly and unexpectedly” malfunction while a vehicle is in motion. It will spontaneously freeze, dim or go dark and start beeping. or go into full-brightness mode all on its own, which can be particularly dangerously distracting to a driver. The beeping was constant and a "Brightness" bar kept popping up and it would self adjust than go dark again. It is intermittent, so you never know when it will happen. It is a safety issue. I went to Capitol Honda in San Jose,Ca and talked to an adviser to ask if there has been a recall on the touch screen and they said no and that they have never heard of this problem. I also went to Victory Honda in Morgan Hill, Ca and they also said no recall on the touch screen and they have not heard of any problems with the touch screen, The advisor said that they could run a diagnostic test for $190.00,but I declined. If you do a search on the web for this problem you will see many other people also have this same problem, but Honda will not acknowledge that there is a problem.

I BOUGHT A 2018 HONDA CR-V (1.5L TURBO ENGINE) IN AUGUST. IT ONLY HAS 1700 MILES, BUT SO FAR IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES (WHILE DRIVING). THE FIRST 2 TIMES, I WAS UNDER 25 MPH AND IT STARTED STALLING. SEVERAL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD CAUTIONING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WAS MAKING PINGING NOISES WHILE THESE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS GOING ALMOST 40MPH AND IT STALLED AGAIN (SAME AS BEFORE). THE CAR WAS ALSO SHAKING AND STUTTERING WHILE SIMPLY SITTING IDLE. HONDA SAID THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR (CPK) WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT...HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HONDA IF THIS STALLING ISSUE WAS RELATED TO ARTICLES DESCRIBING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL (IN RECENT YEARS), THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T COMMENT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A "HONDA ARTICLE". I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS COME TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM...YET, THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THAT IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT DECLARED A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY, BUT ON LOCAL ROADS; HOWEVER, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO STALL AGAIN. HONDA HAS GIVEN NO ASSURANCES THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR CAN EVEN FIX IT.

THE WHITE VAN BEHIND ME STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME. STEPPED ON THE GAS, AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE, THE ENGINE JUST REVVED A LITTLE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED FORWARD A LITTLE, AND THEN BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN. I MADE A LEFT-HAND TURN AND PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING WAS STUCK IN THE WHEELS, OR UNDER THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR SERVICE STATION, TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE BRAKES, AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, THAT THEY WERE FINE. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER, AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKE SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME I HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I WAS IN 9 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 8 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT WE WILL BE HAVING BRAKING PROBLEMS EVERY 8-9 MONTHS WITH THE VEHICLE.

THERE WERE CARS TO MY RIGHT AND THE REAR BUT NONE WERE SO CLOSE THAT I WAS IN DANGER OF HITTING THEM NOR THEY HITTING ME. THERE WAS NO AUDIBLE OR VISUAL WARNING ON THE DASH. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME RESISTANCE WITH THE STEERING BUT UNSURE AT THIS TIME. I'VE LOOKED ON-LINE AND NOTICED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS AND THERE IS NO FIX. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HONDA CARS OF MCKINNEY AND WENT TO SPEAK TO SERVICE DEPT ON 8/30/18, TO SEE WHAT REMEDY THEY CAN SUGGEST. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

The driver's side sun visor will not stay up in the correct position it keeps falling down causing visibility issues. when I'm going down the interstate at 70 miles an hour and The driver side sun visor decides to just go from the correct position and fall down into my line of view especially at night there's a couple of seconds there where my eyes get taken off the road to deal with it and that shouldn't happen. I consider this to say the issue it's no different than your phone ringing and looking down to see who's calling because when it just falls down in front of your face those couple of seconds something could happen. I get my Honda CRV serviced regularly at the dealership and I've mentioned it to them and they've offered to let me order one and pay for it and they would put it home but I'm still paying the car off. So I guess my only option is just to take it off completely not replace it and then just hope that the sun isn't really bright one day and calls me to get an accident because I'm blinded because I don't have a sun visor anymore

THE HEATING/ COOLING SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION VERY WELL IN COLD TEMPERATURES. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THE CABIN TO HEAT UP IN THE WINTER, AND ON SHORT TRIPS IT DOES NOT HEAT UP SUFFICIENTLY, EVEN WHEN I LET THE CAR "WARM UP" IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE I DRIVE AWAY. WHILE THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A MINOR INCONVENIENCE, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE WINDOWS KEEP FOGGING UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE REAR WINDOWS ARE HARD TO KEEP DEFROSTED AND VISIBILITY IS VERY LIMITED WHEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE AND HAVING TO CHECK MY BLIND SPOT. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO LOWER MY BACK WINDOWS IN ORDER TO CHECK MY BLIND SPOT, BUT THAT IS ALSO LIMITED BECAUSE THE WINDOWS DO NOT GO DOWN ALL THE WAY. I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THIS WHEN THEY FOG UP BECAUSE I ALMOST SIDE SWIPED ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY DUE BEING UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS PROPERLY. FROM ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND ONE WOULD THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

I just filled a report but on October 3rd @ 3:34pm the same thing happened where while in cruise control the car just brakes and there was no reason for that to happen.

Oct 05, 2025

This has happened about 3 times since I purchased the vehicle in end of 2018. While I was driving out of no where the car will just brake, there is nothing in front of me or blocking me and one time I was going about 40 mph and the others were when I was going about 30 and 50 so it’s been a range. Luckily every time I’ve been driving there has not been anyone behind me but for sure if someone was behind me, I possibly would’ve gotten rear ended with how fast the car stopped. Other times the car will beep the brake indicator at me, but not stop the car just telling me I need to apply the brakes but there’s nothing in front of me or around me.

We were driving across Florida on 1-10 on final leg of a 3-day trip. At 73 miles per hour the center display went crazy. We got in short order an ACC warning and numerous other alarms in the driver information center under the speedometer. This continued for a minute. After slowing down and pulling off the road and shutting down car, the problem went away. The following Wednesday , the center vehicle display in city traffic went crazy beeping and flashing brighter then darker. The brightness setting slider bar came on and would not go away. The radio signal changed channels and volumes. A loud beeping similiar to the verification tone when inputting settings was going off repeatedly. Nothing stopped the above warnings until my wife arrived home and we shut down the engine. The only way to stop all was to shutdown the center display completely

While the adaptive cruise control is on for no reason the car breaks giving risk of being hit from behind. While driving down the road the brake light just comes on to say brake brake and there is no one in front or on the side of us. This has happened multiple times and I have owned the car for 4 years.

The car hard brakes unexpectedly. It has done it on the highway and city streets. It has happened multiple times and has done it randomly since I bought the car new. The date below is the most recent.

Feb 25, 2022

When the Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system is engaged, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system will engage without cause. The braking primarily occurs in construction zones where traffic is being routed off the main traffic lanes onto shoulders or temporary lanes. The braking increases the risk of a rear end crash. It has occurred numerous times since the vehicle was purchased in Dec of 2018. I rarely used the RDM system anymore. If I do, I disengage it when I drive through construction zones.

My CRV TOURING 2018 has a little over 23,000 miles. I started the car and all of the safety lights come on as malfunctioning. I could not get the vehicle to back up out of the garage. I never put the brakes on. I finally was able to get it out of the garage and to the dealership. Two of the personnel at the dealership said they had never seen that many lights on the dash come on and some they had never seen. This is the second battery that has been put into the car and the charge was good. The car was looked at for several hours. They did not know what was wrong and reset the system some how and I went home. The paperwork said I told them the car was hard to start which I never said. Three days later upon starting the car all of the same lights and warnings came on. This time I was able to back up with no issues. I went straight to the dealer and asked them to do an ECU check. They said it could be the fuel injectors; however could not guarantee that would solve the problem with all the lights coming on. Had the car all day and came back with about 7 codes. I had to ask what the codes were as they had not been written down on my statement. I wrote them down and looked them up that night. Two of them were under warranty. The mechanic did not know the two codes were under warranty and did not look into it further. I took the car in for the third time and had the codes updated and checked. One was for the injectors which they said failed. The other was a check for spark plugs, etc. to help eliminate the source of problem. Again, they said the problem was the injectors and the cost to repair would be $2,200.00. I have requested a Good Will Repair which was over three weeks ago. Honda North America said the District Manager would be handling it and then I was told that the District Manager would let the Service Manager at Honda dealership handle it. That person has not returned my calls. I am not driving my car much and really need it badly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I am writing to express my concern and disappointment regarding persistent electrical issues with my 2018 Honda CR-V (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle has recently experienced multiple warning lights turning on simultaneously, including brake, VSA, and TPMS. After inspection, I was informed that the issue may be related to the battery or sensor systems, even though the vehicle has not experienced any incidents or misuse. I would like to emphasize that this is a well-known issue reported by many 2018 CR-V owners, as evidenced in online forums, service bulletins, and consumer complaints. It is extremely frustrating to be responsible for repair costs for what appears to be a design or manufacturing flaw. Additionally, I visited a local Honda dealership for diagnosis, but I was given no explanation regarding the cause of the problem and was simply asked to pay for service. I found this experience to be highly unprofessional and upsetting, especially considering the seriousness of the issue and my loyalty to the brand. Given the potential safety risks and the common nature of this problem, I respectfully request that Honda consider my case for goodwill repair coverage or reimbursement. I am also aware of an open fuel pump recall (Campaign: 24-007:6FE00) on this vehicle, and would like to confirm that any and all necessary service campaigns are addressed. Please let me know how to proceed, or if you require additional documentation. Thank you for your time and understanding.

The Body Control Module malfunctioned in my CRV. The alarm was going off at random and the car would start into accessory mode by itself after being shut off (after use). This is a safety concern as it draws attention to me, the driver, when parking my car in a public space. For females, this can be scary and is especially dangerous as after this the car will typically not start, nor will the doors lock, for several minutes. If it occurs in a garage, I worry about any emissions coming from the car (carbon dioxide) if the car were to start on its own, which is what was happening in my 2 car garage. I took the car to the dealer, who is replacing the body control module. I also read online that Honda is recalling certain 2018-2020 Accord Sedan, Accord Hybrid, and 2019-2020 Insight vehicles due to this issue, though 2018 CRVs were not included. The problem first appeared 1/6/2024, there were no warnings prior to it appearing. I had to get the battery jumped as it ended up dying and the same situation happened - I then took the car to the dealership.

Sep 25, 2022, en route from Columbus, OH to WV our 2018 Honda CRV started flashing a plethora of warnings regarding braking problems, blind spot failure, lane assist failure, collision mitigation failure, and many other driver assistance failures. We pulled off the interstate, into a service station, at the nearest exit. Once the car was stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic emergency brake would not release. We had the car towed to the local Honda dealership in Zanesville, OH. On Oct 3, 2022 the Zanesville dealership contacted us to pick up the car; they had replaced a wiring harness and control module over the rear view mirror. They said the wiring had “melted”; they said they did not have the expertise to resolve all the warnings but that the car could be driven. We picked up the car on Oct 8, 2022. Within 20 miles, the car was not only flashing warnings but also constantly beeping. We made it to Bruceton Mills, WV before stopping for gas. Again, once stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic parking brake refused to release. The car was towed to the I-79 Honda dealership in Morgantown,WV. That dealership has master electronic technicians. That was 2 months ago and the car is STILL there. The dealership has been in contact with Honda, Inc but they simply cannot resolve the electrical problems and are awaiting a Honda field technician to troubleshoot. This was a systemic electronics failure that incapacitated all of the electronic safety features — making the vehicle unsafe to drive.

Believe fuel mixing with oil. Information center on car keeps rolling thru system saying things aren't working. Happened initially spring 2021 and again now Oct 20 2021. Changed oil and problem went away. Initially took it to a shop for service and had code P0172 which the air fuel mixture has too much fuel or not enough air. Took to dealer and since service had already done oil change dealer could not find problem. Happened again today Oct 20 2021. At dealer now and did not turn car off so they can see code.

I understand that the NHTSA has an investigation ongoing after an unspecified number of owners reported serious problems with the differential. The investigation covers as many as 1.7 million 2018-2022 Honda CR-V. My Honda 2018 with 74,400 miles was just diagnosed with this problem. A pinion seal is leaking. The mechanic said this should not happen with such low miles.

This letter serves as a request for clarification regarding the rejection of my goodwill claim, as well as an appeal for reconsideration as I believe there has been an oversight in evaluating my vehicle situation. I would like to provide additional information that I believe would shed new light on my situation. I believe that a comprehensive review of my appeal will demonstrate that the decision does not accurately reflect the Honda Company’s commitment to meeting the expectations of customers, nor does it reflect my own commitment to the Honda Company as a repeat customer for over a decade. About two weeks ago, my 2018 Honda CRV came to a full stop while driving on the highway. After spending the entire night stuck in the car with trucks and other vehicles driving past and almost hitting us, we were finally towed and brought to Lia Honda Brewster. If we weren’t on the right side of the road and preparing to take the exit, we would have been killed by the trucks speeding past us. At Lia Honda Brewster we learned that the transmission had failed and would cost 7,800 dollars to repair. This came as a shock because per the recommendations stated on Honda’s website, the transmission should be serviced every 50,000-100,000 miles and attached to this email is the paperwork proving that the car along with the transmission had been serviced according to Honda’s recommendation. As I did not misuse nor operate the car incorrectly, I am led to believe that the transmission had been defective. In New York State, Product Liability Laws place strict liability on manufacturers and automakers for defects in their car. Under these laws, a car must perform or meet the standard for which they were intended, meaning that I, the customer, can reasonably expect that I will not have problems operating the vehicle and expect the vehicle to be safely drivable. I am surprised as well as upset at Honda’s negligence and lack of accountability, but also because of the lack of support i

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact became aware that the steering wheel was seizing. The contact stated that several days later, while his wife was driving, the Lane Departure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with a steering gearbox malfunction. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 23-037 (2022–23 Civic EPS Gearbox Replacement); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000. The local Honda dealer Fort Walton Beach Florida has 120 steering racks on back order and $3600 to repair the vehicle.

Lane departure warning activated when I was trying to change lanes. I believe I forgot to activate directional signal. Car suddenly braked hard and steering wheel jerked severely causing me to lose grip on the wheel. Vehicle was forced back into lane I was leaving. This hasn’t been duplicated because I turned off the lane departure warning system and I haven’t used it since this incident.

The brakes of my car activated automatically while my foot was pressing neither the gas nor the brake pedal. The forward collision alert also sounded. I was traveling at around 45 mph and was suddenly slowed to about 20 mph. Afterwards, everything seemed to returned to normal. I am unsure if this is available for inspection. There were five of us in the car and we were all put in danger due to the sudden change in speed while in traffic, however no collisions or injuries resulted from this incident. This issue has been previously reported by the NHTSA. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no prior messages or symptoms.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep safety concern regarding an issue I have encountered with the Honda CRV 2018 that I recently purchased from the Honda Dealership in Bellevue, Washington. I purchased the aforementioned vehicle from your authorized dealership two weeks ago. However, within a few days of ownership, I began experiencing persistent ALL warning signals on the vehicle's dashboard. Alarmed by this situation, I immediately contacted the salesperson at the dealership who suggested that the issue may be related to the battery. They are not respsonsbile to this issue. Following their advice, I scheduled an appointment with the Honda Maintenance Service to address the problem. However, during the waiting period, I came across some recommendations from other Honda CRV 2018 owners, who suggested resetting the software as a possible solution. Desperate to find a resolution, I followed their instructions and miraculously, the warning signals disappeared. Unfortunately, the relief was short-lived as the signals reappeared after I replaced the battery myself. Seeking another temporary solution, I reset the software once again, which resulted in the warning signals disappearing once more. However, it is disconcerting to experience such recurring issues in a relatively new purchase. These warning signals not only cause anxiety but also raise concerns about the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Considering the seriousness of this matter, I kindly request your department's intervention to investigate and request the Honda to address this issue with the utmost urgency. It is essential to determine the root cause of the warning signals and provide an effective and permanent solution to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the vehicle.

Grinding noises were heard in the car twice, before the engine stalled. The car was stopped in the middle of the intersection. Could not restart the car at all, and check engine lights were lit on the dashboard. After 5 minutes passed and after multiple tries to restart the car, the engine started and I was able to get to safety. Upon dealer inspection, the cause was the air condition compressor locking up, possibly due to a leak in the refrigerant. This is confirmed by the car blowing hot air even in AC mode. The lock up caused the engine to stall and go into fail safe mode. This meant the car was stopped and unable to restart in the middle of a busy intersection. Because the car's engine was stopped, it was not possible to get the car moving again. It was incredibly dangerous for me and my passengers, as well as other cars on the road. Even when the lights changed, I was still stuck. There were cars driving around my car, causing more potential traffic incidents. The engine was not able to be immediately restarted, which put multiple cars in traffic in danger for longer than necessary. The car is being serviced by Roush Honda (100 W Schrock Rd, Westerville, OH 43081). Prior to the failure, there were no warning signs and no other issues. This was a sudden and completely unexpected engine stall due to the AC Compressor Failure. This issue is common among CRV (2017 to 2020). https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t72370_ds1082603. There is also another NTSHA notice on this car related to the AC Compressor Leak. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10189868-0001.pdf Please recall this car. This issue puts everyone in an incredibly dangerous situation.

IT REMAINS COOL, AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A COLD WEATHER CLIMATE. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE RUN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR MANY MILES (SAY 10-15) BEFORE THE ENGINE HEATS UP ENOUGH TO PRODUCE NOTICABLE HEAT. THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WITH THE WINDSHIELD.

Blown head gasket leaked coolant in to cylinder. all warning alarms started rotating across dash, while all driver assist technology was also disabled. car then lost ability to accelerate, but kept running, and we were able to drive about one mile home at about 10mph. We towed car to Honda (it was always maintained by a honda dealership). Honda dealership confirmed blown gasket and replaced gasket and then injectors for $7,600 total repair bill. We did not see or receive the replaced parts. We have since learned that Honda is well aware of this particular design fault of their 1.5 engines from 2016 thru 2023 years. Even independent mechanics know of the trouble, as well as any internet search. we were totally unaware til now!

On June 6, 2025 I brought my vehicle(2018 HONDA CRV EX ) to a Honda Dealership due to the vehicle rough idiling. The mechanics said the third solenoid is failing due to coolant being mixed with the engine fluid. Quoted $7496.00 “just to start”. Also stated the radiator would need to be replaced due to this issue and head gasket. Mind you I purchased This vehicle 12 months prior. I took it to a different repair shop for a second opinion but the other mechanic agreed with Honda Dealership regarding repair needs.

STEERING,SUSPENSION

2 complaints

STEERING IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. There is a popping/cracking sound that appears to be coming from the driver's side wheel assembly/strut area. Could this be the same problem as the CRV 2022-2025 Steering Gearbox recall, 24v744000?

Oct 24, 2025

This issue occurs daily and has progressively worsened. Even with Lane Keep Assist (LKA) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) turned off, there is noticeable resistance in the steering wheel. It happens at all speeds, but it's especially noticeable—and potentially dangerous—at higher speeds. The resistance is most apparent when turning the wheel to the right while the steering wheel is still positioned to the left of center. At the same time, it often makes a creaking or rubbing noise. Additionally, at lower speeds—such as during U-turns or in parking lots—I experience resistance and the same noise when re-centering the wheel after turning fully to the left. However, I don’t notice the issue when re-centering from a full right turn.

all warning signs come on at the same time on the dashboard. Car repair service explained that this is a known problem with CRV and suggested that I take it to he dealer. I have disconnected and reconnected the battery and this worked in discontinuing the warning signs but this was a temporary fix since same problem reappeared within weeks. This has reoccurred several times since 2024. Appointment has been made with dealer since the danger is whether warning sign is legitimate or just an electrical problem. This happens when car is first started and prior to initial drive. Does not prevent use of the car.

STEERING,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

2 complaints

This vehicle was purchased new and I am the sole owner. Immediately upon purchasing the vehicle, I experienced what has been described as 'sticky' steering. I believed at the time it was related to the adaptive cruise control, the lane keeping assistance system, or the road departure mitigation system. However, the sticky steering continued and was always present. In 2024 I took my vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer, Planet Honda in Lakewood, Colorado. They could not recreate the problem, but now I realize that this is because they did not get the vehicle and its parts warm enough to cause the problem to reveal itself. Upon becoming aware of two recalls of Honda CR-Vs with similar issues (NHTSA Campaign numbers 24V744000 and 18V663000), I took my vehicle back to Planet Honda last week and more fully described the problem. I was shocked to hear from the service advisor that he was not even aware of these recalls. However, I explained that EVERY SYMPTOM I was experiencing was and always had been exactly as described in the 2024 recall. I requested that they get the vehicle warm and then they would experience the problem. They did in fact confirm the problem, but stated that because the vehicle was not included in the recall they would charge me over $5,000 for repairs, despite the fact that it had been present since the inception of my ownership, and had been reported to them earlier. I do not dispute that my vehicle was not included in the recall, but would submit that given the situation, it SHOULD HAVE BEEN included, and even if not, the evidence is clear (and not disputed) that the problem is and always has been related to this manufacturing. design or assembly defect. I also recognize that my vehicle has over 136,000 miles. However, Honda readily advertise that its vehicle should last hundreds of thousands of miles, and I agree, IF a manufacturers' defect is repaired under warranty or SHOULD BE, as the subject of a recall.

STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

2 complaints

The steering gearbox mechanism is faulty. It causes the steering to be jerky and unstable, having to constantly adjust steering. We took it to the Honda Dealership in Ft. Walton Beach, FL for evaluation. They indicate "the steering gearbox is faulty and would need a new rack to fix issue". Cost to repair is approximately $4600. An independent mechanic locally also confirmed the same issue and provided a Honda Service Bulletin 18-103 showing this was a recall on 2017-2018 CRVs. Cost for them to repair (due to cost of parts) is nearly $7,000. Honda says our VIN is not covered under the recall. The car has only 55,000 miles on it and the steering gearbox is failing. At the direction of the local dealership service manager, we created a case with Honda corporate but they have denied the request to repair under prior recall. Honda directed us to the NCDS to file a request for review. NCDS denies the review since the CRV is out of warranty. Honda knows this was an issue on the 2017-2018 CRV and it is a safety issue and they refuse to repair it. I don't feel safe driving the car as I don't know when the steering gearbox will ultimately fail.

May 22, 2025

This might very well be linked/associated with recent recall for newer Honda CRVs 2022+ for the steering gearbox. Intermittently I'm hearing a creaking noise when steering to the left. I tried to get the dealer to reproduce the issue, and it happened twice while test driving in the lot, but a very faint noise. The dealer couldn't pinpoint the exact issue. The other thing which started happening alongside this creaking noise, is on slow highway speeds and curvy roads, I feel the steering wheel very tight and it seems to stick to the left side, and when I put pressure to turn right/make it straight, it feels like a very sudden movement. This is a safety issue, very likely if this increases, could cause an accident if I can't turn correctly. There are very similar complains by other Honda CR-V owners, and this merits an investigation and recall. I had a full 60K maintenance performed, where the dealer recommended a tie rod change, they replaced, replaced front brakes/rotors and had alignment done as part of that too, they did a complete check of everything under the car, and found no issues.

I completed an oil change on Saturday May 13, 2023 with Morehead Honda, Newburgh NY. On May 14, 2023, while operating my 2018 Honda CRV all the lights for the ADAS illuminated on the dash board of the vehicle and continued to cycle through continously. The lights are as follow: hill start problems, collision mitigation problems, brake system problems, power steering problems, VSA problems, steering problems, TPMS problem. Brake hold problems, adaptive cruise problems, electrical brake problems, brake hold system problems, road mitigation problems, emissions system problems and power steering problems I returned the vehicle to Morehead Honda dealership and a diagnostic was performed. The diagnostic results were excessive fluid to injector and excessive air to brake which involves the compressor and the fuel injector. This is a clear manufacturer defect which is a safety issue. I also conducted a query on the NHSTA and there are recalls listed for issue for 2018 Honda CRVs, however my vehicle VIN was not included.

On [XXX], I parked on a slight incline at an open market. There was nothing wrong with the steering when I parked the car. It was dry and sunny. When I returned to the car an hour later, the power steering was out and all sensor lights were flashing: Hill Assist, lane assist, cruise control, brakes, tire pressure, emergency brake, and others I can't recall at this point. Someone was getting into their car next to mine and helped maneuver the car out of the spot so it could be towed. I am told by the dealer, the power steering rack needs to be replaced -- $4000. My car has 56K miles on it, has never been in an accident and has always and only been serviced by AutoNation Honda in Clearwater. There appears to be a recall on this part but when I enter my VIN, it indicates the recall doesn't apply to my car even though it's a recall on 2018 CRVs. The dealer indicates the part is backordered indefinitely and cannot provide timeline. I am waiting for Honda Good Will program to evaluate whether they will help with rental car and expense of repair. Meantime, I have no car and cannot conduct business or even evacuate if a hurricane comes through. It's been 2 weeks now with no help from the dealer.

I am writing today because I am trying to avoid and accident involving injury and possible death as a result of a situation which is present on on above referenced 2018 Honda CRV, with just 54,000 miles on the odometer, we are needing to consider replacement on what would be our 3rd set of tires, as the result of premature tire wear, on the rear axle, because there is no adjustment to the upper rear control arm, we have purposefully rotated the tires and still experience premature tire wear on the inside shoulder of the tire. I consider this situation to be a manufacturing defect, as we have attempted several 4-wheel alignments, and have been told that without an adjustable rear upper control, no positive results can be reached. I am attaching a photo of one of the tires showing extreme tire wear on the inside shoulder of the tire,

2 complaints

Initially we had check engine light on and we felt that the car had difficulty to start after stopped at traffic light. We had to restarted the engine to solve the stall problem. We took the car to a mechanic and he changed oxygen sensor and spark plugs but the problem came back. Then we received the recall letter realized it was exactly the same problem we had. The mechanic re-examined the car and confirmed that fuel pump was the problem. The recall letter told us to wait for replacement. Since we did not have another car we had to use it. On February 16, the situation became worse. We almost ran into crash on high way 95. The check engine light kept flashing and the car seemed to lose power in the middle of high way. We managed to pull over. It was very scary and it was lucky to avoid any harm in this incident.. Talking to Honda service was not helpful. They insisted on us to pay diagnosis fee of $195 to do the evaluation and tried to deny the third-party mechanic's opinion. We lost trust of their objectivity to do a fair check.

*To be honest, I'm unsure of what systems are failing, but there are multiple. The dash shows Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA problem), Hill Start Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Power Steering (EPS) Problem, Electric Parking Brake Problem, Emissions System Problem, Brake System Problem. *These systems are integral to safe driving for me and my family, even though I can drive the vehicle. I cannot use cruise control, lane-keep assist, or brake hold, and the car is not handling like it was. It tends to be harder to control. * The warning lamps and messages are on and indicated in the first point. This happened on Monday while my wife was driving, and all those systems shut off. When she parked she did an online search of what the issue might be and found multiple YouTube videos of Honda owners for different models and years with the same problem. One remedy required a reboot of the electrical system in accessory mode. That worked for a day, but now the errors won't clear, and we're unable to use the vehicle's safety features.

2018 Honda CR-V EX Shortly after purchasing my Honda CR-V in Feb 2018, I noticed a strong smell of gas when I changed the oil. I found a recall bulletin regarding fuel mixing with oil and worked with Honda to have a software update (Case #*******) in late 2018. Afterwards, the vehicle performed normally and has for a few years. Approximately 12 months ago every light on the instrumentation panel came on (Vehicle Stability, Adaptive Cruise Control, Tire Pressure monitoring, Collision avoidance, Lane Keep assist, etc) I used a code reader and found that the only hard code was P0172 “Fuel System Too Rich”. I reset the code and it came back the following day. I reset the code again and it came back 2 months later. Since then, the exact same code has shown up at least 6 times. It always occurs while the engine is running and I am idling, not when driving. Sometimes the dash warning lights clear automatically after a few days and sometimes I have to manually reset the P0172 code with a OBD tool. I have replaced the battery to ensure it wasn’t a low voltage issue, but it continues. While the code is set and all of the warning lights are present on the dash, none of the vehicle safety features work. Collision avoidance, Lane Keep assist, Adaptive Cruise Control. I do have an appointment scheduled with my local Honda Service Center for Oct. 2. Reading through TSBs and Customer complaints, I find hundreds of examples of this exact issue. I am concerned I will be billed $2K for a known issue with the fuel system in this vehicle. I recently purchased a 2023 Ridgeline and plan to give the CR-V to my 16 yr old son and I am also concerned about the reliability and safety systems on this vehicle. Please advise. Regards,

We had just gotten off the freeway and were sitting at a stoplight. When the light turned green, all of a sudden several of the yellow warning lights on the dashboard started to flash: emergency braking, electronic parking break, tire pressure, lane-keep assist, and others. The car became sluggish and moved forward haltingly and slowly. It feels like the breaks or the parking break are cycling on and off. We pulled over as soon as we could. Turning the car off didn't clear the warning lights. We called AAA and they came and checked the battery -- which was at 100% and working fine. The parking break works fine; we can hear it turn on and off using the lever. We had it towed to a Honda dealer nearby and are having it evaluated. It is undriveable in this state, and we are concerned that even if the dealer gets the warning lights to shut off, it could happen again at any time. There are reports all over the NHTSA website that this is a common issue -- please investigate!

All the warning lights come on at random times for all these components: Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Parking Collision Warning Rear Cross Traffic Warning And the "ding, ding, ding" noise when the door is open also starts dinging. This has kept happening since we changed the battery last year. I have researched this issue on the internet and there are many CRV owners in the same situation. Some taken their vehicle into the dealerships and have paid thousands for "fixes" that don't work. Your agency really needs to look into this. This is an urgent safety issue since we can't have all these warnings going on at any time and when will we know there really is a problem?

WHEN MY CAR DID THIS I WAS UNSURE, FELT UNSAFE AND WAS FRUSTRATED AS NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HOW MANY MORE PROBLEMS I AM GOING TO HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT THOSE SYSTEMS THAT WERE SCROLLING ON DASH WEREN'T OPERATING. IT WAS 6 F OUTSIDE A CLEAR ROAD AND A SUNNY DAY IN NORTH DAKOTA. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, I WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS HIGH AND THAT THERE WAS AGAIN GAS IN MY OIL AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND WONDERING HOW MANY MORE PROBLEMS I WILL BE HAVING WITH THIS NEW VEHICLE AND THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ME IS 100 MILES AWAY, WHICH CAUSES ME TIME AND EXPENSE TO GET TO DEALERSHIP.

ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON FOR MY VEHICLE INDICATING THAT I HAVE PROBLEM IN ALL AREAS OF THE CAR. THIS IS A 2018 HONDA CRV. THIS CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND THE RELAY MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS CAR IS TOO YOUNG TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AT THIS POINT. BECAUSE I AM AT 37,000 MILES, HONDA IS TELLING ME THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY OF THE CAR AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE RELAY MODULE WHICH IS A MAJOR EXPENSE. AGAIN THIS CAR IS TOO YOUNG TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS CAR OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.

THE CAR HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I GOT IT EARLIER THIS YEAR...THERE IS ONLY 4,000 MILES ON IT AND SO FAR, THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY...EXPLANATION I WAS GIVEN IS THAT HONDA HAS BAD BATTERIES. THIS AFTER CHANGING OIL ONE WEEK PRIOR AND SERVICE REPORT INDICATED GOOD BATTERY. ONE WEEK AFTER SERVICING, THE CAR DIED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT HONDA SAID IT WAS ALL DUE TO A BAD BATTERY. BRAKES FAILED DUE TO BAD BATTERY???? STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, CAR IS STALLING, PANEL FREEZES, SENSORS DON'T WORK...SALESMAN SAID NO LOANERS AVAILABLE AND IF YOU WANTED A LOANER WHEN YOU SERVICE CAR, SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A LEXUS OR BMW.

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON ROUTE 43 APPROACHING ROUTE 60 IN LAKE FORREST, ILLINOIS ON NOVEMBER 5, 2019 MY HONDA CR-V SUDDENLY STOPPED. AND, I MEAN COMPLETELY STOPPED.FOR NO APPARENT REASON. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT 35 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS OCCURRENCE WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A FALSE POSITIVE ERROR. IT WAS RAINING LIGHTLY AT THE TIME. MY ONLY WITNESS IS MY WIFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR PRIMARILY TO DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND NOW HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN IT'S ABILITY FOR SAFETY. THIS PROBLEM HASN'T OCCURRED AGAIN SINCE NOVEMBER 2019 BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST OUR LIVES TO A COMPUTER IN CHARGE OF THIS CAR.

3 TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FWY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, LANE CONTROL ACTIVATED, AND THE DISTANCE SET TO MINIMUM, WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, THE CAR DETECTED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT OF ME AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN APRIL OF 2019 AND OCT OF 2019. WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS DIRT ON THE MILLIWAVE RADAR, FOUND CODE P2583-97, I FOUND THIS TO BE HIGHLY UNLIKELY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SPOTLESS. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN ASKED HOW THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT 10 MILES DOWN A BOLSA CHICA RD. I TOLD THE SEVICE PERSON THAT THAT WAS NOT THE SAME CONDITIONS AS I WAS DRIVING AND THAT THEY COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR UP TO 65 MPH WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 45 MPH AND IT WASN'T A FWY. HER RESPONSE WAS WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE CARS ON THE FWY. I SAID THEN HOW ARE YOU DO DUPLICATE THE CONDITION OF THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MULTABLE ELECTRONIC ISSUE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SOLVED YET. ALL I GET IS THE SAME ANSWER, CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS SINCE IT WAS SOLD NEW AND THE PERSON BEFORE ME TURNED THIS CAR IN WITH ONLY 8000 MILES ON IT FOR A NEW CAR THAT THEY COULD TRUST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AD COULD CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THATS NOT MY FAULT.

I LIVE IN MARYLAND, USA AND HONDA HAS DONE RECALLS IN CHINA AND NOW CANADA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS POOR HEATING, BUT NOT IN THE USA. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE IN THE FUTURE LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND HONDA WILL NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY! I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER.

HONDA'S SENSING SYSTEM RANDOMLY DISPLAYS INVALID WARNING MESSAGES. THIS IS THE RADAR/CAMERA SYSTEM THAT MONITORS CARS SPEED, BRAKING, DISTANCES, CRUISE CONTROL, ETC. THIS IS A RANDOM ISSUE THAT OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (45 TO 65MPH). WARNING LIGHTS COME ON STATING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES, SPEED CONTROLS, ETC. THE MAIN SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT SYSTEM TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR BRAKES, AND YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT. YOU ARE FORCED TO PULL OVER IN TRAFFIC AND UNDERSTAND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM OR NOT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF IT IS SNOWING, HEAVY RAIN, HEAVY DUST, OR THE SENSORS ARE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY, A WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE WARNINGS COME ON RANDOMLY ON A SUNNY OR CLOUDY DRY DAY WHERE THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING THAT SETS THE SENSORS OFF. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, YOU MUST STOP THE CAR, PLACE IT IN PARK AND THEN THE ALARMS CLEAR. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT RELIABLE AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED, PLUS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER, AND PER HONDA INFORMATION, COULD RANDOMLY STOP THE CAR WHEN THERE IS NOT REAL PROBLEM (I.E. SET THE BRAKES AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR NO REASON). FALSE WARNING LIGHTS DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION WHILE DRIVING OR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS TRULY A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. SHOULD SYSTEM STOP THE CAR FOR NO REASON, IT COULD CAUSE A COLLISION. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WITH THIS VEHICLE.

ROAD CREWS PLOW WITH BLADE SLIGHTLY ABOVE PAVEMENT POSSIBLY AVOIDING DAMAGE TO RUMBLE STRIP SO WE CAN'T SEE LANE DIVIDER LINES OR EDGE OF ROAD SOLID LINE WHEN ACCIDENTLY TOUCH THE RUMBLE STRIP BRAKES ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY WHEN BEEPS ALONE SHOULD SUFFICE. OTHER TIMES IT APPEARED THE SYSTEM THOUGHT WE WERE ABOUT TO HAVE A HEAD ON COLLISION AND AGAIN BRAKED SUDDENLY AND OFTEN. WE THINK THE HEADLIGHTS OF CARS WAY OFF IN THE DISTANCE WHERE TREES NEAR THEM CREATED A KIND OF STROBE EFFECT FOOLED THE SENSORS WHERE EVER THEY ARE. I HAD TO CANCEL ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS TO AVOID MORE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. SOLUTION RECOMMENDED: REQUIRE HONDA TO ALLOW US TO TURN OFF AUTO BRAKING IN BAD WEATHER SO SENSORS DON'T CAUSE PANIC TO DRIVERS NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S HAPPENING. WHEN ROADS ARE SLICK AS OURS WERE YOU REALLY DON'T WANT VEHICLES SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM INTENDED TO KEEP US SAFE. I CAN TELL YOU DRIVERS AROUND US THOUGHT WE WERE INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO CAUSE MISCHIEF AND I'M CERTAIN THE ONLY REASON WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENTAL IS BECAUSE I PUT BLIZZAC SNOW TIRES ON MY 2018 CRV TOURING AND KEPT MY THUMB OVER THE CANCEL BUTTON SO I COULD RECOVER QUICKLY BUT EVENTUALLY HAD TO DISABLE ALL THAT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TOO OFTEN. I GET CRAMPS IN MY LEG WHEN I CAN'T USE CRUISE CONTROL AND I PAID A LOT OF MONEY SO I WOULD BE ABLE TO USE ADAPTIVE CRUISE AND OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT SIMPLY MADE THIS CAR MORE DANGEROUS. I'M ANGRY, FRUSTRATED AND WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS!!! YES ROADS WERE SLOPPY, SLICK AND TRAVELING BELOW SPEED LIMIT OF 70 BECAUSE OF CONDITIONS.

For some weeks, the driver’s heated seat began to heat to excessive temperatures without me turning on the seat warmer. The seat heating system intermittently reaches temperatures high enough to cause painful burn-type irritation to my back and buttocks. I have experienced repeated episodes where normal seat heating settings produced dangerously high heat. I returned the vehicle multiple times to Townsend Honda for diagnosis and repair (repair orders are on file with the dealer and with Honda corporate). Despite multiple service visits, the dealership has been unable to permanently resolve the overheating condition. On 09162025 and 09222025 repairs or diagnostics were attempted but the defect persists. Honda corporate has since opened Case #15869482 for further review but I have not heard from Honda corporate till now.

1 complaint

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a serious and recurring safety defect in my 2018 Honda CR-V EX, VIN# [XXX] . I have experienced at least four incidents within the last two months involving both sudden, unintended braking and intermittent steering lock-ups. These are not isolated events and pose a significant risk to the safety of myself and other motorists. The sudden braking issue, often referred to as "phantom braking," occurs when the vehicle's Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) activates without any obstacle or danger present. The car abruptly comes to a full stop, without warning, on a clear road. This is extremely dangerous and has nearly caused multiple rear-end collisions. In addition to the braking problem, the steering has also become intermittently stuck. This happens without warning and makes it difficult to turn the wheel, which could lead to a loss of control, especially at higher speeds or on curves. I have already reported these issues to two authorized Honda dealerships: Curry Honda in Atlanta, Georgia Honda AutoNation in Columbus, Georgia On each occasion, the dealerships have been unable to replicate the problem and have told me they cannot find anything wrong. Despite their inability to diagnose the issue, the problems are very real and continue to happen. These defects are not just an inconvenience; they are serious safety hazards that could lead to a crash. I am concerned that if this problem is happening to my vehicle, it may be affecting other 2018 Honda CR-V owners as well. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter thoroughly to prevent potential accidents and injuries. Please contact me if you require any additional information. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the A/C shaft seal had failed. The contact was informed that the A/C shaft seal leaked into the suction hose and discharge hose. The contact was informed that the A/C shaft seal needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to another dealer for a diagnostic test, and the contact was informed that the incorrect coolant was used, causing the A/C shaft seat to fail. The contact suspected that during one of the vehicle maintenance sessions, the incorrect coolant was used. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,900.

Subject: Fuel Pump Recall Remedy Denied – Ongoing Safety Risk I purchased a used Honda vehicle in December 2024, and shortly after, I learned it was under recall for the fuel pump. In January 2025, I took it to Lia Honda for an oil change and to perform the recall. The dealership refused to do the recall, saying the fuel pump had already been replaced with an aftermarket part by a previous owner. However, the official Honda recall repair was never performed. On June 5, 2025, the car stalled on I-91 while I was accelerating, and all the dashboard lights and alarms came on. I was able to coast to safety. I took the car to AutoZone at 7:28 PM, where a scan confirmed a faulty fuel pump. The car would not start and had to be left at AutoZone temporarily. Later that night, I was able to start it and immediately brought it to Lia Honda, leaving it overnight. On June 6, Lia Honda returned the car to me and claimed the issue was unrelated to the fuel pump, giving me a vague diagnosis involving fuel system cleanliness. Despite the AutoZone scan, the known recall, and the dangerous highway stall, Lia Honda refused to perform the recall or acknowledge the fuel pump as the problem. On June 13, the same issue occurred again while accelerating on I-91, this time with my family in the vehicle. The car stalled dangerously in traffic, again putting all of us at risk. I later contacted Honda Customer Support, and two representatives told me I was eligible for the recall repair. But when Honda USA followed up, I was informed they would not honor the recall or cover the repair, because the part had been replaced with a non-Honda pump by a previous owner. This is unacceptable. The recall remedy was never performed, and the part clearly failed again. Lia Honda’s refusal to acknowledge the fuel pump failure on June 6 prevented me from protecting my family’s safety, leading to a second highway incident that could have resulted in a crash I have all diagnosis and receipts in paper()

In April 2025 my CRV had issues with acceleration. The speed reduced all of a sudden and car couldn't go more than 5 mph, so I took it to the repiar shop. The mechanic told me that cylinder #2 misfired. He replaced the spark plugs and the ignition coil. A few days later after driving for a few miles "Stop driving when safe, engine temperature too Hot" sign came up. I stopped driving immidiately and got the car towed to the repair shop. After testing the car the mechanic told me that the head gasket leaked and the coolant is mixing with the lubricant. He told me that there is damage to the engine so the engine need to be replaced. I was driving with kids in the car and I believe it compromised the safety of my family when the speed came down all of a sudden on the road and the car stopped accelerating.

All lights on dash board on and would not cut off. We were told it was the battery that was bad. The battery in the vehicle was not a year old. We purchased the new battery and within a couple weeks it happened again with all of the lights on. This is a safety matter because this can cause problem with the heads to the motors or can just stop running. We took the car back to the dealer and then they said it maybe the fuel injectors. Now, we are paying for another maybe. This car is sending off different codes. No, one has inspected this car except the dealer. I was informed that if not inspected by Honda that it would not count. No, other symptoms before all lights on dash board just coming on. When the lights on dash board came on it was all light for all operations of the vehicle. We are not paying for fuel injectors to be replaced based on recommendation from Honda. We have several people we know that are currently having this problem with their CRV. Please look into this expensive repair. My car is a 2018 with only 40,000 miles on it. This is not a car driven on a daily basis to work or anything. This is a safety matter as well due to it may just shut off while driving.

My vehicle became difficult to steer, similar to driving with all the tires low on air. I made an appointment with Proctor Honda. They determined the Electronic Power Steering Rack was sticking and replaced it with a 5320-TLB-A23 : G/BOX ASSY, EPS. Honda assured me this was not a recall issue. After paying the $4365.66 repair charge, I determined there was a Service Bulletin 23-037 issued for this same problem. It applied to 2018 Honda CRVs. However, it only covered 54 vehicles and my vehicle was not included. This seems unreasonable given it appears to be the identical issue as the vehicles subject to the recall. I'm a 76 year old female and have no means to challenge this other than to ask for your help in determining if I am being treated fairly. If it truly is not the same issue, then I understand.

Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes! I took to the dealer and they're aware of it... they said there is no recalls yet.

All of the warning lights and maintenance lights turn on at all times during driving. I have taken it to the dealer multiple times and after changing the fuel injectors, the light supposedly seemed to stay off. The day after I got it back from the dealer, all the lights started flashing again, the car stalled and lost power in the middle of the road. Pressing on the gas would not do anything. The car was essentially in neutral. I was able to turn it off and then on again and took it back to the dealer once the recall came for the fuel pump, to have the part changed. I was told they couldn’t change it, even though it was recalled, because they found that it didn’t need to be changed.

STEERING,POWER TRAIN

1 complaint

As of a month ago, when doing left turns the vehicle turning was increasingly stiffened. When driving, the steering wheel slightly locks requiring extra force to take turns even if slightly. Recently, there has been increased stiffness when making right turns and a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. The vehicle was brought into the local Honda dealership and after diagnosis, it was discovered that the issue is common with the year as there is a current recall on vehicles of the same year, however, the VIN of our vehicle is not included. The issue as stated by the dealership is, "gearbox is binding internal causing lock-up in the steering wheel." It was recommended to service the vehicle as it is unsafe to drive. This issue is unable to be fixed currently as the part is on backorder due to the high volume of vehicles affected by the recall. We were told to contact Honda to inform them about the issue and to discuss what can be done as it is occurring in other vehicles affected by the recall.

All of the warning lights came up on my dash and stayed on for almost 24 hours on this most recent occasion of this problem indicating that there was all of the following: emissions systems problem, brake system problem, power steering system problem, VSA problem, hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control, problem, road departure mitigation, and hill start assist problem. This was approximately the 5th time that this has happened. The problem occurred when I turned the car back on and started to drive after it had been turned off for 10 minutes. This problem seems to be triggered by 2 different events: either idling (like in a drive thru line for a long time) the car, or, after starting the car after it has been turned off of a short period of time. The previous incidence of this problem was on January 7, 2024.

While driving the entire driving assist system warnings started flashing (lane assist, blind spot, ACC, etc.) resulting in a solid system break light, with none of the safety features functioning. In addition to being very distracting while driving, had I not noticed the warning lights going off , I would not have known that the safety system was off. It is very easy to miss while focusing on driving in a rainy day like today. I am writing to you directly since the last time I emailed Honda about a confirmed SW bug that results in the screen going dark, they told me it is not a safety issue and requested $180 for a SW update. When your screen goes dark when you are driving after changing the brightness on its own, and you don't see the backing off warnings, or camera, I would say it is a safety issue. While I am not writing about this specific issue, I don't trust Honda to do an honest assessment. I am unaware if Honda researched this issue yet, but have seen reports online about this issue.

Warning lights on the dashboard are all going on at once. Something like this happened intermittently with the ADAS system; occasionally they would all report a malfunction. When turning off the car and restarting the car, they would go away. Now all warning lights are going off at once. This poses a safety hazard because any real problem is obscured by the cacophony of false alarms. Other folks have reported this issue.

I was having multiple electrical issues with the car, malfunctioning radio, flashing etc. I had it checked out at Mahwah Honda and they stated no issues. Last week I was in an accident in which my car was deemed totaled. As I was crossing the intersection a car sped through a red light traveling at a high speed hitting my passenger side. This caused the passenger air bags to deploy (I was traveling alone) and the impact caused me to hit another car across the roadway. The driver side air bags did not deploy even though I hit another car. I do not understand why my air bags did not go off and do not recall if the on star worked as well. I do not know if this is all related to the electrical issues I reported which Honda dismissed.

In early April 2022 the Body Control Module went bad. A replacement was ordered, and is still unavailable (Honda PN: 38809-TMM-A21). This rendered the car unable to be started, unless the battery was first disconnected and then reconnected (as advised by Honda Service). However, this results in several error lights, including emergency braking, hill start assist, lane keeping assist, collision warning systems, blind spot systems, as well as non-driving systems like operation of the windows, and the associated symptom of these systems working intermittently, or not at all. Honda still has not provided a reliable estimate for the part to be made available, despite escalating the situation to their corporate level. I am aware of other Honda models of the same year having BCM (Body Control Module) issues and a recall being current and active.

That was in August 2021. We were told a new battery was needed, so we changed it. The lights went off. Eventually it happened again. The battery was readjusted, so it reset everything. It has happened several other times. It happened again recently (April 2022) while driving. The safety issue took place during this incident when the vehicle started to decelerate (from 45 MPH) on a busy road. We barely made it to the shoulder, turned off the car, and restarted it.

1 complaint

I have a 2018 Honda CR-V purchased 12/4/2017. During the fall/winter of 2018, the warning lights and bells came on for apparently no reason and the vehicle would barely move down the road. Turning off the vehicle and restarting it fixed the issue with the vehicle moving however the lights remained on. I took the vehicle in to be checked by the dealer at least twice, but they were unable to find any problem. At this time the only possible solution that I found from searching the problem on google was a possible loose battery connection or low voltage in batter. They reset the computer and it has continued to occur multiple times since then. Once again on Friday, February 4, 2022, I took the vehicle in for a service with the warning lights all on again. They fixed some extended warranty issues which they thought fixed the problem. However, within less than 5 minutes after starting the vehicle all the lights were on again. At this time, I again did a google search for this issue and now I am finding that 4 years later with hundreds of people continuing to have the same problem repeatedly the fix that seems to be the actual solution is to replace the fuel injectors. Yet, Honda is refusing to recognize this as their problem and forcing their customers to foot the bill for this repair that has obviously been an issue since the vehicle was purchased. When all the warning lights are on none of the vehicle safety features work and all the flashing lights and dinging bells are a major driver distraction. Nevermind when start your car and attempt to pull onto the road and the vehicle will not run over 5 miles an hour with the gas pedal to the floor. I had to pull over on the side of the road which was not wide enough for me to get out of the road and turn off my ignition and restart my car. Thankfully it would accelerate at a normal speed afterwards and I was able to get home safely.

I DID NOT THINK THIS NEW CAR WOULD NEED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO HONDA WANTS OVER $1100 TO PUT FUEL INJECTORS IN. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT THE MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 CRVS. THE DREAM MOTOR IS A PROBLEM AND HONDA KNOWS IT. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE DYING BEFORE ANYONE WILL PAY ME ANY ATTENTION. HONDA SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM THEREFORE I AM ASSUMING IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE, AS I HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR. I AM A NURSE AND TRAVEL ON MY JOB. I HAVE NO CRUISE, LANE KEEP ASSIST, LANE STABILITY OR ANY OF THOSE FEATURES. I DONT KNOW HOW THIS CAR WILL PASS INSPECTION LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP ME.

BLINKING LIGHTS CONTINUE WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING AND ON GRAVEL ROAD AND PAVED ROADS. THE FIRST TRIP TO LOCAL HONDA AND REPORT WAS BAD BATTERY. SECOND TRIP AND I WAS TOLD CONNECTOR BOX. THIS IS THIRD TIME AND ITS WEEKEND AND LOCAL HONDA CLOSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE DATE BELOW IS THIRD TIME DATE.

1 complaint

I SMELL GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR AFTER I START THE ENGINE. THE GASOLINE SMELL IS NOT PRESENT ON INITIAL START UP BUT HAPPENS WHEN I RUN ERRANDS WHICH REQUIRES MANY STOPS. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40 DEGREES. IT IS NECESSARY TO OPEN WINDOWS TO VENTILATE THE CABIN. I HAVE ALSO LOST THE SENSORS THREE TIMES AND MY SCREEN HAS GONE BLACK REQUIRING ME TO REBOOT. I HAVE TALKED TO TECHNICIAN THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2017 AND 2018 CRVS. WHY HAVEN'T I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THE GAS DILUTION FIXED?

ON SATURDAY 2/29/2020 I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 183 HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS AT 68 MPH WHEN MY DRIVER DOOR OPENED. IT DIDN'T FLY ALL THE WAY OPEN BUT IT WAS AJAR ABOUT 4 TO 5 INCHES. I HELD THE DOOR AS CLOSE TO CLOSED AS I COULD WHILE DRIVING WITH THE OTHER HAND TO REACH A SAVE STOP IN ORDER TO CLOSE MY DOOR. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND 8 MONTHS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT IS SCARY NONETHELESS. I WAS ABOUT 19 MILES INTO MY TRIP TO WORK THAT DAY. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THAT WAS NO ALERT THAT MY DOOR WAS OPENED PRIOR TO IT OPENING. THERE WASN'T EVEN A ALERT ONCE IT BECAME OPEN AND I NOTICED BECAUSE I COULD HEAR THE AIR AND THE DOOR WAS MOVING. THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM STILL SHOWED THE DOOR LOCKED BEFORE I UNLOCKED IT AND CLOSED THE DOOR. WHILE IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN. I WOULD STILL APPRECIATE THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

1 complaint

WHILE IN MOTION THE CR-V CONTINUES TO BRIGHT LIGHT ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC ABRUPTLY WHILE THE VOLUME OF THE STEREO GOES CONSTANTLY FROM LOUD TO MUTE, AND THE DOOR LOCK/ UNLOCKS BEING CONTINUAL. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THERE IS ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, USAGE OF FUEL DRASTICALLY INCREASED, NOTICED OUR THROATS HURTING/ VOICE HOARSENESS/ COUGHING/ PASSENGER PASS OUT UNTIL WINDOWS ARE CRACKED OPEN (CARBON MONOXIDE?). CONSTANT SPUTTERING, NO HORSEPOWER, CAN'T STAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AT TIMES SAYING ROAD DEPARTURE (CLEARLY WE ARE NOT DEPARTING THE ROADWAY). DOORS TO THE BACK HAVE NOT ALLOWED THE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK TO OPEN THEM, CAUSING THE CHILDREN TO PANIC IN FEAR OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE REMOTE START HAS ONLY WORKED (2) TIMES IN A YEARS TIME. THERE HAS BEEN A BUZZING/ HUMMING MOTOR SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR AXLE AREA AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR OVER (5) HOURS. GASOLINE HAS NOW BEEN NOTICED IN THE OIL. THE DASH PERIODICALLY GOES COMPLETELY BLACK UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS (DIMMING/ BRIGHT LIGHTS) DOES NOT WORK, AND HAS ONLY WORKED (1) TIME. A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IT HAS SMOKED, LIKE LARGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST ANYTIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. FEARFUL OF TRAVELING IN THE CR-V, WE DO NOT USE AFTER DARK, THE AMOUNT SPENT ON FUEL HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED AND WE DO DRASTICALLY LESS DRIVING IN THE CR-V SINCE THE INCREASING FUEL USAGE. AT TIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS CONTROLLED BY SOMEONE ELSE, IT'S DIFFICULT CORRECTING THE STEERING WHEN IT IS PULLING TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

09/2019- TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE IN FAST LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC APPROX. 79MPH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF & NUMEROUS VEHICLES BEHIND ME. A VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE SWITCHED LANES IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING MINE TO HIT THE BRAKES, LOCKING UP, SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS IN THE MEDIAN THE 2ND VEHICLE WAS INCHES FROM ME. MY PASSENGER (CHILD IN BACK) SAFELY STRAPPED, HAD A WHELP & BURN ON RIGHT SIDE OF NECK/CHEST FROM SEATBELT. SOLUTION DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL. 11/2019 ON VACATION THE VEHICLE SHOWED LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASH, PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE PRESSURE, ALL TIRES WERE OKAY. TRAVELING ON A 3 LANE BUSY HIGHWAY,IN THE MOUNTAINS THE BRAKE WOULD ENGAGE ALONG WITH THE STEERING, JERK TO THE LEFT, "LANE DEPARTURE" ON THE DASH. IT TOOK ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO PULL AGAINST THE VEHICLE KEEPING IT ON THE ROAD. NO GUARD RAIL ON THE ROAD. PULLING AGAINST THE STEERING PREVENTED MY CRV FROM GOING OVER THE MOUNTAIN. I COULD NOT HAVE THE ECON ON, IF ON, THE HIGHEST SPEED I COULD REACH IN THE CRV WAS 35MPH. WITH THE ECON OFF 45 MPH WAS THE HIGHEST SPEED THE TRAVEL SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WAS BETWEEN 65-70MPH. THIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE TRIP. I TOOK THE CRV TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ONCE I WAS HOME IT WAS KEPT FOR A WEEK. THEY FEEL LIKE A SOFTWARE UPDATE SOLVED THE ISSUE. I LATER CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM BE AWARE THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SAID THEY MADE HONDA AWARE, BUT DID NOT. I HAD A CASE WITH HONDA, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. MY EMAILS NOT REPLIED AND THE MESSAGES LEFT ON THE VOICEMAILS, NOT RETURNED. I HAVE CONTACTED NUMEROUS TIMES, SPOKEN WITH SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AND ASSURED MY CALL WOULD BE RETURNED, NOTHING. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY NO LONGER WILL BE ABLE TO HELP WITH ANY ISSUES. THIS IS FRUSTRATING. MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN ARE IMPORTANT ALTHOUGH HONDA ISN'T THINKING THE SAME. MAJOR DEFECTS IN THE 2018 CR-V

I OWN A 2018 CRV PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2018. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A SLIGHTLY DRIZZLY, APPROXIMATELY 45-ISH DEGREE MORNING THIS WEEK, I HEARD A LOUD BANG/EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY A SLIGHT CRACKLING NOISE RIGHT OVER MY HEAD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED MY SUNROOF SHADE SHUT AND WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK (ABOUT A 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD), I DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. BECAUSE I PULLED THE SHADE CLOSED, THE GLASS DID NOT FALL IN TO THE VEHICLE SO THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED. MY ROUTE IS ONE I DO DAILY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE AN OVERPASS OR OVERHANGS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING HAD BEEN THROWN/FALLEN ON MY ROOF. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE BODY/ROOF. I BELIEVE THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH MY HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO AN OUTSIDE BODY SHOP TO REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALER'S FINANCE OFFICE ABOUT MY WARRANTY, THEY INFORMED ME THAT NO GLASS REPAIR IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT I NEEDED TO SUBMIT UNDER MY COMPREHENSIVE CAR INSURANCE. MY INSURANCE DID ULTIMATELY COVER THE DAMAGE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE RELUCTANT AS THEY FELT IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CRV AUTO BRAKES HARD AND LANE KEEP FOLLOWS THE WRONG LINES. 2 EXAMPLES OF BRAKING: 1 - A PICKUP TRUCK WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT ON ME. AS A HUMAN I STARTED TO GO AROUND HIM TO THE LEFT AS HE TURNED BUT MY AUTO BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME CAME WITHIN INCHES FROM REAR ENDING ME THEN GOT ROAD RAGE AND CHASED ME FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO! COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! 2ND WAS ON A BEND IN THE ROAD - A WHITE MOVING TRUCK COMING THE OTHER WAY ON THE BEND MADE MY AUTO BRAKES LOCK UP HARD / NEAR A FULL STOP! THIS HAPPENS OFTEN BUT NOT USUALLY TO THESE EXTREMES. LANE KEEP - WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE AND LK ON I WENT THRU A RECENT CONSTRUCTION AREA AND MY HONDA STARTED TO FOLLOW OLD LINES AND PAINTED OVER W/ BLACK PAINT LINES - NOT THE NEW LINES FROM AFTER THE REPAIRS! IT WAS SCARY - ALMOST DROVE ME INTO A BARRIER! ON 1200 MILE TRIP TO FLORIDA MY CAR OFTEN WOULD HIT THE BRAKES FOR REASONS I COULD NOT TELL OR GO OUT OF THE NORMAL ROAD LINES OR THE ACC WOULD SLOW THE CAR TO A CRAWL FOR TRUCKS IN THE OTHER LANE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - THEY SAY NPF. ONE GUY DID SAY TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY WHICH I DID BUT IT STILL BRAKES WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. MY WIFES CAR DOES NOT REACT THIS WAY.

ON 9/23/19 PARKED THE VEHICLE. SHUT OFF VEHICLE WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ALERT ME THAT THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. GOT OUT OF CAR AND DOOR LOCKED LIKE EVERYTHING WAS OKAY - NO OTHER BEEPS OR NOTIFICATIONS. VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND HIT A TREE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT REAR DAMAGE (THANKFULLY DID NOT HIT ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN). BROUGHT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ALTHOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT THE WARNING INDICATORS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY ON 10/2/19 I VIDEOTAPED AN INCIDENT WHERE IT DID NOT ALERT ME IN ANYWAY WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LEFT IN THE DRIVE GEAR (IMAGES FROM VIDEO ATTACHED). HONDA STATES EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ENGAGED; HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT FIX THE FACT THAT THE SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS ARE NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED. DEFINITELY A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE.

PURCHASED THE 2018 HONDA CR-V EX-L NEW FROM PEARSON HONDA, MIDLOTHIAN VA. 23112. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED THE ODOR OF GAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. DURING DECEMBER 2018, I CALLED THE DEALER COMPLAINING THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN THE ENGINE OIL. I WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY OFFERED TO CHANGE THE OIL FREE OF CHARGE. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT THIS ENGINE DEFECT DURING 2017 AND STILL INSTALLED THE DEFECTED ENGINES IN THE 2018 CR-V. HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT NOT FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN VA. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO KEEP BRINGING IN THE VEHICLE AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR ADDITIONAL FREE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND ANY ASSISTANCE FROM YOU WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SECOND ISSUE: WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WOULD BRAKE VERY HARD, USUALLY AS A SECOND VEHICLE IS BEING OVER TAKEN IN THE RIGHT LANE. I REPORTED THIS SITUATION TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THE SENSORS ARE JUST VERY SENSITIVE. THIS IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM.
