2016 Honda CR-V complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2016 record →
I smelt gas while driving, the smell continued. The underbody of my gar was spraying gasoline due to a faulty quick connect fitting or fuel line. Leaking gasoline is fire/explosion risk. I received no warning signals nor did the leak trigger any messages from the system.
The pistons and piston rings have failed, and the engine burns oil rapidly. There is no indication by the vehicle of the issue as far as any dashboard lights, etc. I brought my vehicle into the Honda dealership over a year ago with a noise the car was making. I was told by Honda that my car had burned oil, and to do an oil consumption test and the results would be submitted to Honda corporate. Honda corporate forced me to do multiple oil consumption tests for over a year while my car was still in warranty. Now that my car is out of warranty, Honda corporate will not pay for my car to get fixed. This is a huge safety issue because this car in that year's make & model will burn oil to the point without making the driver aware of it until the engine combusts and can destroy the engine entirely. Anyone with this year make & model should not have to worry about their car having a factory defect and the dealer refusing to pay for it. There is nothing I could have done to cause the piston and piston rings to fail. Especially for the fact that I am the first owner of this car.
Electronic power steering repeatedly fails, car needs to be turned off then on to reset.
My 2016 Honda CRV AC is not cooling to its full capacity.
Oil stick smells heavily of gas, the engine which my car has is known to inject too fuel in the oil. I have had it checked at the honda dealership and was informed, it was normal that there is nothing wrong, however when I check my oil stick it is very apparent that there is gas in the oil compartment. (my dipping stick should not smell like my gas tank) I will be having a second dealership look at the oil tank again.
Approximately three months ago, all advanced safety features stopped working. I took the vehicle to the nearest Honda dealer and their troubleshooting indicated a defective windshield camera which is used by all the advanced safety features. They ordered a replacement camera but unfortunately the camera is on back order and the dealer has no idea when it will be available. Meanwhile I am driving a vehicle with no working advanced safety features.
I have to keep a solar panel attached to my front visor or my new batteries will go dead. This is a problem for other vehicles the same as mine. 2016 Honda CRV. I understand that the electrical, battery parts are very faulty. I was going through batteries, and the Honda dealership never figured this out. A friend of mine attached the solar panel so I won't have a dead battery every day. Thanks for reading.
Driving down the highway at around 60 mph and the hood became unlatched. Hood started to vibrate excessively. Hood had to be re-seated when it was safe to do so. - Hood latch/striker malfunctioned. Component is still on vehicle. Vehicle can be inspected if required. - Issue has not been reviewed with dealer or independent service center. However, there is a recall on other Honda vehicles for this issue. - Vehicle has not been inspected. - No warning lamps or messages were present at prior to or at time of failure.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his cousin was driving 30 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning. His cousin had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they performed a diagnostic and discovered that the fuel pump had failed. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
I have a 2016 Honda CR-V. I few days ago, pulled into a parking spot, stopped my car and placed the gear into park. I was sitting in the parking spot for a few minutes while waiting to pick someone up when I hear a strange noise come from the car, not even a second later my car suddenly accelerated on its own without me pressing the gas pedal or touching anything. I was completely caught off guard. The car shot forward at such a rate of speed, so fast that it threw me back in my seat. I suddenly reached to grab the steering wheel, and tried to take control of the wheel, but the steering wheel would not turn, it was completely locked. I placed both feet on the brake pedal and pushed as hard as I could but the car would not stop. It was like the car suddenly had a mind of it's own and someone else was controlling it. It literally accelerated on it's own. I couldn't stop it or steer it, everything was disabled. My car jumped a curb and slammed into a pole. Upon the first impact, none of the airbags deployed even though my entire chest slammed the steering wheel, it was only when I hit the pole did the airbags deploy. I sustained injuries to my head, back, chest and hands. Witnesses at the scene quickly pulled me out of the car, closed my door and took me away from the car because it was leaking oil and fluids everywhere and they were afraid it would explode. The entire front end of my car was completely destroyed. Nobody else was hurt other than me, but it could've been much wor

I purchased Cooper Evolution Tour tires (DOT U92Y VN 1820, Size 225/65R17) on August 10, 2020. Since then, I've only put 16,000 miles on them. I've been consistently losing air and recently brought them into my dealer for inspection, and they located a bulge in the sidewall in all four of my tires. (I have pictures of each of the buldges as marked by the dealer.) They told me it was a manufacturer's defect and to contact Cooper Tires. Cooper Tires has a recall out for the same type of tire, only an earlier model, with the same exact defect: Recall No. 19T-024 on Cooper Evolution Tour DOT U9 40 1LT 3019. (Dated Dec. 2019.) When I contacted Cooper customer service, they said no recall for my model exists, and I'd have to get replacements under the warrantee, costing me an additional $350. If these tires have the same defect as the earlier model, they should be recalled immediately. I've been driving around on four bulging sidewalls and risking a crash as indicated by Recall No. 19T-024, all of which they recognized enough to recall their earlier model. Attached is the print out from the dealer with the estimate to replace the tires with my road hazard warrantee through them, and pictures of where they marked the sidewall bulges on each tire. (Rear passenger, front passenger, driver passenger, driver rear.)
Intermittently my crv will stall/shut off after a complete stop. It happens almost every day now.
ELECTRONIC TRUNK SYSTEM/HATCH BACK DOOR SWITCH REPEATEDLY DOES NOT OPERATE IN COLD CONDITIONS . THERE IS NO WAY FOR A CONSUMER TO MANUALLY OPEN HATCH BACK DOOR WHEN IT FAILS.
I have submitted this complaint before. We sold the car rather than deal with a potential t-bone accident. When starting from a stop, as you would accelerate into a traffic lane the car without warning would suddenly act as if the key was turned off, ceasing to accelerate. Exiting our neighborhood onto a thoroughfare with typical 35-50 mph traffic, my wife & I both had frequent instances of this failure to accelerate or dead throttle response. With 50+ years of driving, 5 years of SCCA road racing, 5 years of teaching defensive driving, I'm still not sure what I've done to get the car to accelerate & avoid getting t-boned. Several Honda dealerships have acted as if this is an unknown situation/condition. Actually talked to 5 different Honda service writers who all denied that the problem existed. Went to an independent Honda garage who had 5 boxes of the offending part-Throttle Position Sensor-on their office counter. I was told it is a common problem, as evidenced by the number of TPS boxes they had. This is an extreme hazard & danger to anyone driving a Honda that uses this particular piece of hardware. I would urge a recall to force Honda to re-design this sensor to eliminate the potential non-acceleration issue.
I first detected a smell of gasoline at the rear of the vehicle. Appox. one week later, I began to smell gasoline inside the vehicle. I've taken the car to the Honda dealership and I'm awaiting the repair. The dealer service adviser said the problem was found to be one or more failed seals in the fuel line. I was advised by the dealer not to drive the vehicle until it is repaired. I looked for Service Bulletins for this vehicle, and I found several related to "the smell of gasoline" around the fuel tank. The vehicle is still at the dealership for repair.
I bought this car from Honda and I had to bring it back three times within the first 30 days for them to fix a window that was making a noise I also asked him if he could please take a look and drive my car because whenever I break or I’m trying to speed up my car seems to stall and the engine can’t catch up and then all of a sudden it bucks forward of course they said they cannot find the issue they will call the manager and no one has ever called me back to fix this issue I looked up recalls I don’t know if there is one on this vehicle or not but I need some help
- While driving, sudden smoke from the engine and burned rubber smell occurred. - Upon pulling over, the drive belt was atop the engine burned cut. - Diagnosis by an authorized Honda dealer revealed the water pump seized thereby snapping the drive belt. Mileage on vehicle 33,849. Summary: - The water pump seized suddenly with no warning. As a result, the drive belt/serpentine belt melted and snapped while driving. This occurred for no known or commonly seen reason at such low mileage. with absolutely no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to failure.
IN COLD WEATHER TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN. THE ONLY ACCESS TO THE SPARE TIRE AND TRUNK IS CLIMBING OVER THE BACK SEAT. THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2016 CRV ON THE INTERNET. I LIVED IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND RECENTLY MOVED TO A COLD WEATHER CLIMATE FOR WORK. IT IS COLD IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND I CANNOT OPEN MY TRUNK. WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT MANY DRIVERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN I DID A INTERNET SEARCH. I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN 16-063 ON THE INTERNET. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE ONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE BACKSEAT TO GET INTO THEIR TRUNK. IN CASE I HAVE A FLAT TIRE I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIFT THE TIRE OUT OF THE TRUNK OVER THE BACKSEAT.
Battery will drain overnight and will not retain enough charge to even unlock the doors. Battery tested by two auto part stores and determined the battery is ok. Took vehicle to Honda and said they found no problem. Problem occurred again the same night.
My car started to feel like it rides rough and uneasy. I herd a loud pop inside from the engine when reversing out of my parking stall. It sounded like something inside the suspension or the engine: The engine also feels off and not running like it should. The tire warning also keeps coming on and i replaced all the tires already.
On Sep 10 2020, when I drove the CR-V uphill on Crenshaw southbound near Indian Peak, it could not accelerate and get into "limp" mode. No engine light was on. Once I was able to use momentum to pull over, restarted the car, it was driving as normal. I drove it to the nearest Honda dealer and left with them for a week. They could reproduce the issue by driving exactly to the same spot. They investigated and replaced the whole tank of fuel, suspecting water in the gas tank. On Sep 19 2021, my husband was driving on Lancaster 14 north bound (uphill). The CR-V go into "limp" mode and could not accelerate. Engine light turned on soon after. He was able to cruise to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. Once it was restarted, the engine light turned off, the car could go again, and he drove and left it to the nearest dealer, they could not find any issue. On Nov 7 2021, as I am driving on 73 toll road north bound (uphill) near Catalina View Toll Booth, CR-V traveling around 65 MPH started to get into "limp" mode and I could not accelerate it pressing the gas pedal, then the engine light turned on. I was able to cruise by momentum and pull to the shoulder. I stopped and restarted the car, and it was able to travel again. All through my trip afterward (405 NB), the car felt "choked" and "stuttered" when I tried to accelerate.
When the weather gets under 50F, the trunk will not unlock and will not open. It seems as if the actuator freezes. When the temperature is above 50F you can hear it click and unlock. This was an issue with 2011-2015 CRV and it is still an issue with 2016.
The car vibrates so much my hands will shake on the steering wheel while idling and at time while driving. Any items in the car will shake. Complained to service department everytime vehicle brought in for service. Was told nothing could be done to fix issue and vibration is normal.
Car is burning oil very quickly, no apparent leaks. Bad noise coming from front end when going up and down hills caused me to investigate this problem with mechanic. Notice many complaint on the internet regarding this problem with the Honda CRV 2016.
I put my car in reverse and it stalled. It began rolling backwards. The battery light came on. I live near two churches and people were leaving church. My vehicle rolled backward and nearly hit the car behind me. I'm so grateful that none of the people leaving church were hit- the area is so busy and everyone has to walk to their cars parallel parked on the side of the road. I started rolling backwards rapidly and neither they nor I would have had any warning that was about to happen. That's just a bit of luck. I was surprised to find this is a well known issue described in Honda Service Bulletin 18-072 and reported frequently to the NHTSA. It's just chance I didn't hit a car or person since the stall occurred on an incline and in a busy area. I'm just so shocked the car hasn't been recalled to fix this dangerous problem.
Honda CRV E-XL bought in 2016 from Coral Springs Honda, FL and always maintained at Honda Dealership died on freeway on 08/06/2021 in approximately 5 years. When towed in nearest Firestone they routed to Honda as they suspect the coolant has breached into 4 cylinders. Honda Dealership (First Texas Honda Austin ) is quoting around $10000 for a new engine replacement for 3 - 4 grand for an older engine of similar miles. My question is does Honda engines typically dies at 50k mile marks. I trusted Honda to last for 200k plus. Does Honda need to instrospect the engines manufactured for 2016 CRVs. What went wrong to this engine does it requires Honda to recall 2016 Honda CRV as I would have met an accident due to my car dying all of sudden on a freeway. The car started giving fumes from AC vent and all the warning light flashed on the dashboard. Please please help me getting my car fixed as I cannot afford that much of money. Honda Case Number: 12418365.
Dies when in reverse has happened multiple times at startup
Rear backup camera failed after less than 5 years of very light use, I only have less than 9,000 miles in my vehicle. Backup camera is completely off, for example, wide angle is now displaying ground angle, normal angle is now out of alignment. I bought and replaced it with a brand new backup camera, but the problem persists that tells me that the problem is something else possibly related to the software if it wasn't hardware. This is potentially a safety hazard because I now have to turn my head to backup rather than using it together with my backup camera. I asked dealer to take a look, but they quoted me $605.00 for a potential fix, did not make a guarantee that the problem will be resolved. At first, the problem happen intermittently, but now seem to be permanent. I Google about this problem on the Internet, seem to happen to a lot of Honda vehicles, but there was never a clear solution as to what caused it. Attached a photo, wide angle view went to the ground instead, even normal angel view is completely out of rack and out of alignment.
Upon moving into a parking spot, I slowed down, and suddenly the car surged unbelievably fast. I ran into a brick wall about 4 or 5 feet in front of the car. No other people were around, but certainly, I was at risk. This problem has happened to me in this 2016 CRV, and in another CRV, 2015. Twice in the 2015. The dealer has not reproduced the situation. It is intermittent. This first CRV happened around 15000 or 16000 miles. This car has around 44000 -45000 miles on it. Of course, the dealership says I had my foot on the gas. I DID NOT! Either of the 3 TIMES. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police insurance reps, etc. No one is interested in doing do. Certainly not Honda. I have found numerous examples on the internet of people experiencing the exact same thing. They describe exactly what happened to me. There is no warning whatsoever. I know Honda will do nothing, until it becomes impossible for Honda to ignore. In the meantime, I wonder how many people will have to be injured or worse. I am asking nothing from Honda. That is hopeless. I am going to junk the car. I cannot in good conscience sell it. I did sell the 20015 back to Honda, as they "assured" me it would be checked, and this was just an anomaly.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while fastening the driver’s side seat belt, the seat belt failed to fully retract or secure the contact in the driver’s seat. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the contact was advised to rub the seat belt mechanism with rubbing alcohol. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that he would receive a callback. The failure mileage was approximately 46,564.

This is an intermittent problem. The electric driver seat adjusts on its own--this vehicle does not have 1 or 2 position memory option. Several times when the car has been driven and parked (such as at a store, or overnight in the driveway) when returning to the vehicle the seat is in a different position, having moved itself completely forward. This has happened when the car is not running and is not in accessory mode. Yesterday while the car was running, but not yet moving, the seat adjusted itself completely forward, pinning my husband to the steering wheel. The pressure was so great that he could not breathe. It was extremely difficult for him to reach the seat adjustment button to free himself. This could have been a fatal incident if no one was nearby to assist. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE!! There were no warning lamps or messages displayed at any time indicating a problem of any kind. The vehicle has not yet been checked for this specific issue, however it had been through a routine service and dealer safety inspection one week prior to the incident. The dealer is unable to service the vehicle until 7/13/2021. I have an appointment scheduled for that day.
Vehicle stalls when driving, power steering, tire pressure, and check engine light all come on, but when mechanic checks there’s no codes popping up. Then vehicle stalls again.
Driver's side rear door window exploded without cause and shattered while it was parked in the garage, with most falling to the ground and some landing on the back passenger seat and floor. There had been no damage to the window prior. No warning lights/messages, no undue stress to the window.
At idle speeds (less than 800 rpm), the shake and vibration was so severe in the front dash and the front seat that I did not hear the sirens of ambulence going by as my 20 oz waterbottle was shaking and clacking on the sides of the cup holder. I did not hear the oncoming emergency vehicle as it sped toward me 90 degrees from where I was headed and missed the crash by a few feet. Plastics and dash covers steering wheel and are shaking vigorously inside the car and it only happens at low RPMs. 2015 honda crv TSB states that the problems were fixed for 2016 models (exact same problems that I am having: drive Mode 1 at idle speeds), but I am having this issue since day 1 of getting this car. It has been over 5 years and if the shakes continue to get worse, and I can not hear what is coming toward me, I will could be in dangerous situations that I just experienced, like not hearing the oncoming emergecy vehicles or someone honking at me to be safe. This only occurs for my vehicle when it is in drive and the car is not moving. As I give gas and RPM goes up, zero issues with vibration(s) occur.
I GOT INTO MY PARKED CAR MONDAY MORNING MAY 10, 2021 TO FIND A LARGE BURN HOLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND BACK OF SEAT NEAR THE BELT BUCKLE. I TOOK IT TO MY DAYTONA BEACH HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE HEATED SEATS CAUSED THE FIRE. THE CAR IS ONE YEAR OUT OF WARRANTY AND APPROX COST TO REPAIR IS 4500.00.
STARTED THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING A BIT ROUGH. PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE ROARED AND ACCELERATED. TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKE. IT DID NOT WORK. FORTUNATELY DID NOT HIT ANY OTHER CARS IN THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR JUMPED OVER THE CURB AT THE EDGE OF THE PARKING LOT, WENT INTO A DITCH AND HIT A TREE. CAME TO A STOP. THE AIRBAG WAS ACTIVATED. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT HIGH RPM. FORTUNATELY THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A BUSY CITY ROAD !!!!! THIS BIZARRE INCIDENT POINTS TO POTENTIAL MALFUNCTION OF THE COMPUTER CONTROLS. FORENSIC INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED TO RULE OUT THIS POSSIBILITY.
ENGINE STALL AFTER A FEW SECONDS BACKING UP. POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. 22,000 MILE VEHICLE, PURCHASED NEW 3-16-2016 STARTS FINE, THE AFTER I BACK A FEW SECONDS LATER, MOTOR ABRUPTLY STALLS. VERY INTERMITTENT, HAPPENS ONLY UPON STARTING IN AM, ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS
PULLED THE CAR OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND SHIFTED THE GEAR TO DRIVE. EVEN BEFORE I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE ROARED AND THE CAR SPED OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKE FAILED. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO AVOID OTHER PARKED CARS AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN A DITCH AT THE EDGE OF THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR MAY HAVE TRAVELED ABOUT 100 YDS BEFORE COMING TO STOP. THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR MAY BE EXTENSIVE. REPORTING THIS FAILURE TO THE NHTSA IN CASE THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR EVENTS HAPPENING WITH THE 2016 HONDA CR-V MODEL.
I BELIEVE A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2016 HONDA CR-V AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON DECEMBER 12, 2019. AT THAT TIME, I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 36 YEARS BOTH ON MAUI AND AS AN AIR FORCE OFFICER IN THE CONUS. IN ALL THAT TIME, I HAD NEVER DRIVEN RECKLESSLY OR EVEN SPED AS IS EVIDENCED BY MY DRIVING RECORD. THAT MORNING, MY VEHICLE HAD REPORTEDLY BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND ENDED UP FLIPPING OVER SEVERAL TIMES LEADING TO MY HOSPITALIZATION AND SURGERY FOR SPINAL FUSION. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE RESULTING CONCUSSION, I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT UNTIL WAKING UP IN THE ICU AFTER SURGERY, NOT EVEN DRIVING TO WORK. KNOWING THAT I WOULD NEVER PURPOSELY SPEED, I HIRED SOMEONE TO DOWNLOAD THE BLACK BOX DATA. TO MY SHOCK, IT SHOWED CONSTANT ACCELERATION, NO STEERING INPUTS, AND NO BRAKING INPUTS FOR AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS. THE ONLY REASON I'VE DECIDED TO PUT THIS OUT THERE NOW IS DUE TO THE PARALLELS I'VE READ ABOUT WITH TIGER WOODS' RECENT ACCIDENT. I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE WHO HAS DRIVEN FOR DECADES WOULD EVER MISTAKE THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL. MOREOVER, IF THEY DID, THEIR INSTINCT WOULD BE TO QUICKLY RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR THEN BRAKE, DEFINITELY NOT TO CONTINUE TO FLOOR IT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I'M NOT EXPECTING TO GET ANYTHING PERSONALLY OUT OF THIS COMPLAINT. MY MAIN HOPE IS THAT INVESTIGATION WILL BE DONE TO PREVENT FURTHER INJURIES AND DEATHS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF MANY OTHER BLACK BOX

I SMELL GASOLINE WHILE SITTING IN THE CABIN DRIVING. MY CAR HAS SAT ALL NIGHT AND I'M PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND I SMELL GASOLINE. IT SMELLS LIKE WHEN THERE IS A SMALL CAN OF GAS IN THE CAR A LAWN MOWER. SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE SMELL IS NOT UNLIKE THE SMELL YOU GET WHEN YOU SPILL GAS ON YOUR LAWNMOWER AND START MOWING THE LAWN. HONDA REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEN THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME. I CAN'T AFFORD IT. MY SON READ OF THIS PROBLEM IN HONDA CR-V FORUM WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT THE OIL PAN BEING AN ISSUE. BUT THE CAR MODEL WAS NOT A 2016 AND IS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOE THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS COMING. I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS SMELL.
