2017 Honda CR-V complaints

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the collision avoidance system suddenly activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The contact indicated that no other vehicles or objects were nearby to cause the collision avoidance system to activate. During the incident, the contact sustained injuries to both shoulders and head and neck injuries. No medical treatment was required. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 64,000.

My CRV turns on the emergency braking warning visible on my dash. There is no reason why it should be doing this. It is random. So far the car has not slammed on my brakes it's just giving me the warnings. I have never been in a situation that required emergency braking. Although I have had multiple events I just found this website and used today's date.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on multiple occasions and the contact was informed that the failure was electrical. The computer was reset however, the failure persisted. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the fuel injector needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V442000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The shifter knob fell out of the shifter while in drive (operation) causing the vehicle to not be able to be shifted into neutral/park when stopped. The issue is a known issue as reporting in TSB 19-063 but the VIN of my vehicle is not included in the TSB.

While driving on the freeway at 65 mph, the car's brakes suddenly went on causing the car to swerve and almost be hit by another car. This is the 3rd time that this has happened in the last year.

Sometimes the braking system will flash even when I am not close to any cars in front of me. I have read reports that the automatic emergency brake system has fully engaged in other cars while driving on the highway and while mine has not fully engaged, it has flashed a warning sign which worries me that one day it will engage fully while I am driving!

I was driving at approximately 10 to 15 mph down a one-way street and without warning my automatic brake system engaged while simultaneously sounding the beep. It brought the car to a jerking halt however, there was nothing in the way, no vehicle no pedestrian and no objects.

I was driving down the street. The speed limit of the street is 55mph. I was driving between 45 and 55mph. The car suddenly broke. There were no cars or other objects in front of me that the car should have been braking for.

Automatic emergency braking activates when there is nothing in the path of the vehicle, no obstructions, no weather issues.

The automatic braking system slams on the breaks randomly in the middle of the road if an object out of the ordinary is detected. It has happened 3 times and could have risked my safety/life. Today 9/10/22, there was a metal plate in the road to cover a pothole in Memphis TN. I was on Perkins in a very high traffic area and my brakes were applied that brought the car to a literal screeching halt. The last 2 times it happened it was when there were orange road barrels on the side of the road.

While shifting into park shifter release button came out.Plastic broke on shifter release button.Had to temporarily reinstall button each time want to shift.I see there are a lot of complaints of same problem.Have worked for 32 years as an aircraft mechanic and know a part not designed correctly.

All warning lights start cycling through and flashing. Not able to use the automated driving system at all. Honda diagnostics reports all 4 fuel injectors need to be replaced. Fuel is too rich. This is NOT just a cold weather problem. I live in Arkansas and it has been happening all summer in 100+ degree heat.

When driving short and longer distances, typically at speeds consistently over 35mph the steering wheel seems to "lock" in place or feels "stuck". There is also an associated creaking sound. The locking up/stuck is pretty easily resolved, SO FAR. This behavior started this summer and happened practically all summer any time I drove anywhere. (The fields below don't allow me to enter multiple dates/ranges.) My kids are almost 17 now and I cannot help them work on driving miles to get their licenses because I feel my car is unsafe to drive. This identical behavior has been pretty well documented in several years of the Honda CRVs on a Honda forum (https://www.carproblemzoo.com/honda/cr-v/steering-problems.php). The mentioned forum has examples where much more extreme results occur where steering locks up while turning and cars become undrivable. Reports are that Honda has been unwilling/unresponsive to address/resolve. I've had my Honda dealer service team trying for over a week now to get Honda to either cover the steering replacement or authorize covering it via my extended warranty. This shouldn't take so long to approve and I believe Honda should cover it. My car is unsafe to drive and this warrants further action. Honda is not acting in the best interest of the public and is complicit and responsible for any injuries or death resulting from this issue. I hope The NHTSA is able to do something to light a fire under Honda to get some attention on this issue, on behalf of all

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle independently stopped with an orange-colored warning symbol on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance system had engaged while driving under a highway sign. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that an investigation had begun on the vehicle for NHTSA Action Number: PE22003 (Forward Collision Avoidance) which he linked to the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000.

I was driving on a residential road where repairs are being done to the road. There were two metal plates in the road covering the hole where workers have been doing ongoing work. As I approached the plates doing perhaps 25mph the warning system to brake sounded and automatic braking system engaged and brought us to a near stop before disengaging. No one was behind us but if someone was we certainly would have been rear-ended.

I was driving down the same stretch of road and time of day as the previous complaint I submitted. There were no cars (or anything else) in front or behind me. The road was clear. The “brake” symbol on the dash flashed on the instrument cluster. There was no beep or brakes applied.

I was traveling over the weekend (700 miles). I stopped at a convenience store, went to shift in to Park, and there was no button left in the shift lever. I was able to shift to Neutral so I did not drive through the front door. Had this happened while in a roadway, it could have lead to a far worse outcome. I was able to figure out how the inner parts of the level are aligned to shift gears and finish my trip, with several interruptions as more and more pieces fell out and changed my ability to get the shifter to work in a new way. I have found ample videos on the repair process as this appears to be a very common issue. This affects the functioning of the transmission and is very dangerous. I cannot find any open recalls for my VIN. If this has been replaced before, the replacement is also defective.

The vehicle performed emergency braking suddenly. I was on a straight stretch of road with no vehicles in front or behind me. There was nothing in the road in front of me. It was clear. The vehicle beeped, the "brake" flashed on the instrument cluster and then the vehicle applied the brakes on its own. The episode lasted 1 to 2 seconds. Luckily no one was behind me. The problem has not been reproduced or inspected by the manufacturer or other party.

I've reporter to Honda dealer about seat and brake pedal squeaking when pressed several times when my vehicle was under warranty. They always said its normal wear and tear. Car only had 12,000 miles on it at the time. Fast forward to 30K miles, they finally greased the brake pedal and noise went away for another 10K but returned. I was then told its hydrolic brake so it's normal. But I know its not normal to have squeaking noise like that. Moreover, seat squeaking noise has gone worse now. I can literally not take the noise to the point I try not to move at all while driving. I was told this is normal behavior and if I want to replace it it'll cost me $$$$. This should've been covered under warranty and I have few other friends and coworkers with similar issues and they're also being told to deal with it. Adaptive cruise control is ok as long as you don't change the lane or someone in front of you doesn't change the lane. I was going 45mph one night when I had adaptive cruise control turned on. It was seeing the car in front of me and there was a red light coming up. Car in front of me decided to change lane and after that my car failed to recognize the car in front of me stopping for red light. I was at 25mph due to all cars slowing down but as soon as the car front of me changed lane, my car speed accelerated to 45mph and almost hit the car stopped at red light. I slammed the brake so hard to avoid the accident that night. My entire family was freaked out after that and sto

Body control module failure. 800K recalls for models excluding the CR-V. Part unavailable. Causes flashes lights and battery drain.

While parked and off, car alarm (horn) starts going off and lights are flashing. Even though car is not running, instrument panel is lit up, ac fan on, and dash displaying every possible error. Car would not start. Only way to get alarms to stop was disconnecting battery, Towed to dealer who said it needed a Body Control Module (BCM) and there is no firm delivery date. They were able to reset errors and said it was SAFE to drive. After returning home, after stopping car, same thing started. Ended up disconnecting battery whenever car was parked. After about a week, it got to point where engine WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, even pulling battery cable. The only way to get it to shut off was to pull the fuel injector fuse. After a few times of this, it got in a lockout mode where would not recognize key fob. Towed to dealer and there it sits, a 5 year old car awaiting a BCM which I HOPE fixes the problem but I am NOT convinced. Interesting that Honda can find BCM's for NEW cars but not for current customers... The above is a summary of the issue. The full details can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pyf9xcBQCbp-bzV9n0fo5_ibQ4FkATxhdm9nDK4vjG8/edit?usp=sharing

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

At about 9:15 a.m. today I was lightly braking as I approached an intersection where I needed to turn right. There were no vehicles in front of me. The weather was clear and dry, about 70 degrees. As I slowed, the AEB system flashed BRAKE several times, and then the car came to a sudden and complete stop. The same thing happened to this car at the same spot several months ago under the same circumstances — no other traffic ahead and good weather. There is a metal plate on the road ahead of where these incidents took place. The plate has been there for years and we drive over it all the time with no problem. But when no cars are ahead, could the AEB system be mistaking the plate for an obstacle?

For some time now nearly 4 years of owning this vehicle, I have seen all of my light indicators just turn on without any reason. The only way to turn them all off is by taking of the red cable from the battery and putting it back on....

I was driving on a rural/suburban road at approximately 40 mph when my Honda CR-V threw on the brakes and slammed to a complete stop on its own. There were no vehicles in front of me or coming toward me. Fortunately, there were no cars behind me. There was no warning, it just happened. My car has Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) technology on it that causes the car to brake I get close to a car in front of me. I believe it was this system that malfunctioned. My 4-year-old son was in the car with me, and both of our lives would have been in danger if there had been a vehicle behind us. I took it into the Honda dealership and do not plan on driving it again until this issue is resolved.

All warning light come on, anti-theft system activated and horn goes off randomly. Can’t stop the honking without disconnecting the battery. Sometimes you can’t turn the engine off at all. You have to keep trying about 20-30 times before it will stop. The headlights will turn on by themselves and the battery drains. Now- even with a new battery, the car won’t start at all. The BCM part 38809-TMM-A21 is on National Back-order because it’s the same part for the 2018 Honda CRV that IS on a National Recall. Why isn’t the 2017 also on recall for the same part problems

The shift button broke off and became unusable. Driver was able to temporarily reattach the button, but the button’s plastic broke, making it impossible to reattach.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that while attempting to turn off the vehicle, a message to depress the START/STOP button twice instead of once was displayed. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.

The push button on the shifter broke and fell out. The plastic piece is broken but luckily if we hold it in, it still shifts for now.

I was driving down the highway and all ADAS lights came on and kept repeating. I reset the system but the warnings remained. I took the vehicle to local mechanic who plugged in his scanner. The first thing that popped up was wheel speed sensor along with all the other ADAS warnings. Did alot of research on the internet and found out this was a common problem with the CRV. I decided to buy a new sensor and replace myself. This actually solved the problem. Why do all ADAS lights come on for one problem?

Emergency braking engaged unexpectedly, electronic module failure ,all warning lights flashed on the information system , vehicle would not turn off, headlights flashing, windshield wipers engaged without input from driver. Transmission would not engage. This would be very dangerous if had occurred on highway , it occurred in a rural area with very little traffic.

Air conditioning temperature does not work. no matter what degree, the hot air stays the same, including the lowest degree on the air conditioner register "low". There are no warning lights displayed and there are no leaks detected. I am seeing many other complaints like this and mentions of recalls, but I cannot find a recall notification anywhere. I have less than 26,000 miles on my 2017 car.

Shifter button fell off. I was looking for recall information when I found this for. Nothing else has been done. I was parked at the time.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision Avoidance braking system erroneously activated causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer were the computer software was updated; however, the failure persisted. There was no further information available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision Avoidance system activated and the message “BRAKE” was displayed before the vehicle stopped. During the failure, no other vehicles or objects were nearby to cause the system to activate. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure but a diagnostic test was not performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000.

Parasitic battery draw. I’m being told this is what is causing my repeated issues, I’ve had the car for 3 years and have replaced the battery 4 times. All warning lights keep cycling despite consistently having it looked at for diagnosing. Today the car would barely move- it powered on just fine, but despite depressing the gas pedal- it would barely move more than 5 miles per hour causing severe risk in the road

All light indicators are turning on, making my dash look like a Christmas tree. Happens atleast 3 times a month

I cranked my vehicle as usual, and all of the safety feature warnings began to cycle through on the dash and ding as it changed from one alert to another. I turned the car off and restarted it, but the issue continued. I drove to the store and the warnings continued to cycle through without the dinging sound. When I arrived back home, I looked online for similar issues and found that other owners of the same vehicle had experienced the same issues. There were some owners that noted that they had been told that Honda was aware of the issue and did not currently have a fix. At the advice of one of the posters, I disconnected my battery and reconnected. It didn’t work right away, but the alerts did go away after being cranked a couple more times. The car seems to drive fine when the alerts appear, but it’s very concerning as I do not know why it keep happening and what it means about the safety features of my vehicle.

I was driving on I-94 in Chicago on 6-22-2022 at approximately 50mph. There was no one in front or beside me and the AEB system braked on its own and the "BRAKE" alert on the dash flashed momentarily. The car slowed down about 10-20 mph and I brought it back up to speed. This is the only time it has happened and it was terrifying.

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

Yesterday as I was driving my Honda CRV at about 55 mph on a rural road, it suddenly stopped. There was NOTHING around, no other cars, animals, NOTHING! It took my speed down to about 10 mph in seconds, threw my groceries on the floor HARD. I called two different Honda dealerships and the both told me they hadn't heard any reports of this happening, yet I did a search and found that it IS an issue! The one dealership wants me to bring my car in for inspection to the tune of $139. The problem is, I no longer feel safe driving this car! Fortunately I was on a rural road and not the highway! There have been NO warning message or other symptoms prior to this. The forward collision is the issue. This car is available for inspection. Any other questions, contact this email: [email protected] or cell: 260-350-4429 Thanks you, Marsha J McAlister06/

CMBS or forward collision warning system misinterpreted several times. Car stopped suddenly for no reason while driving. Nothing was in front of side of the car! It’s really dangerous to drive in this vehicle, that’s why I always turn off my CMBS feature while driving.

I parked my car in the garage. I can't start it. The light of break system is on.

The automatic brake system comes on and brakes with nothing in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is moving at variable rates of speed. Sometimes 25 mph on a country road, sometimes 65 on an interstate. This is putting myself at risk and others for a rear end collision for sudden stops for no reason. I did take it to a dealer who did diagnostics and said there was nothing wrong because the last 5 times there was something in front of me per the computer. I can just confirm this has happened many times w nothing in front of me. They also charged me diagnostics for this and when I contacted Honda they just said my vehicle was not one of the ones affected and was not under warranty any longer or recall. The only light that happens is the brake assist light that states “.brake” and then suddenly beeps at you comes on and the car starts to brake.

There have been four separate incidents now when the automatic braking system has engaged without there being anything in front of me. When this happens, it skips over the chime and notice on the dashboard and goes straight to slamming on the brakes. On all occasions I was traveling under 40 mph and fortunately there was never anyone directly behind me. If there had been someone behind me, I likely would have been rear-ended. I have reported the problem informally the dealership (when I was there for other service), but it's difficult to replicate as this has only happened a handful of times in the last 4-5 years. I do not remember if the dealership specifically investigated the problem on my vehicle.

I started my car and shifted into reverse. The silver part of the gear shift popped of and fell into the foot well. I was able to pick it up and hold it in place and shift the car but it is clearly not safe.

Shifter knob button broke off! unable to control car when this important gadget is broken! can not control the gears now. can not move to P or D or R, etc. no warning at all. just fell off yesterday. luckily this happened while it was parked in a parking lot.

Road mitigation system randomly flashing “brakes” despite no traffic in front of car, clear roadway, no rain/weather issue. Multiple times

Was driving on open road, and the automatic braking system engaged randomly for no reason. Jerked me forward in my seat when absolutely nothing was on the road.

The gear shift popped off making us unable to put the car in drive whenever it was in park. The gear shift also came off as well.
