2017 Honda CR-V complaints

The shift button broke off the handle to control drive train and car was in drive. Could not turn engine off or shift to park.

All of the ADAS Warnings go off on the dash-every one. It turns on and off randomly and lasts from hours to weeks and I’m not sure what the cause is. The dealership has told a few things but the main one was over the phone saying it could be due to obstruction of the sensors-snow/ice or something of that nature but it happens even when it’s clear all the time. Recently, when the sensor system has been “working” on the highway, the brake system activated itself slowing my car down and a warning came up on my dash that said to Brake but there was nothing on the sides or in front of my car, only behind me! And it happened without warning. It’s been persistent despite weather conditions. This has happened numerous times, I’d say at least 100.

Honda crv 2017 touring vehicle with 1.5 engine. On several occasions he has lost the acceleration force, he feels flooded, I had to stop at the side of the road, turn off the vehicle and turn it on again to be able to go to a safer place, I have already visited 2 authorized Honda drivers and my mechanic personal ! I have bought original parts and nothing to stop the problem. I have spent thousands of dollars changing the injectors, pipe set, manifold, throttle body, spark plugs ect. for two times now and this is my 3rd time and still the problem continues. I have been afraid to drive the vehicle because I am risking my life by not knowing when it might happen again, I do not drive with my children in fear, I have had to stop working because of everything that happens. I'm even thinking about changing my vehicle and never buying a Honda again

When starting the car, the display panel behind the steering wheel that displays the speed/tachometer, speed control info, general status etc was dark (blank) It came back on after about 10 mins on the road but then after turning the car off, then on it several times that day would not come back on. It happened to my wife on 21 and 22 November but after restarting the car the screen came back for her. I have not taken to dealer. that is scheduled for Tuesday next week

Recently my 2017 Honda CRV started flashing these 3 warning 1. Road Departure Mitigation System Problem 2. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem 3. Collision Mitigation System Problem. But once in quarter these warnings flash but after engine power off/On warning message goes away. Last week when I was driving on the Interstate Highway, All of sudden this warning flashed, after a while I stopped at a service station. Off/ On the engine but all of the 3 warnings didn't go off. From a safety point of view Cruise/Collision Mitigation/Collision Mitigation Control is very important on Highway. At-least these features prevent and keep you alert while changing lanes, apply proper braking system on the highway from safety measure. The vehicle has not been driven more than 42k miles in the last 4 years. Although the 3 year 36 miles standard warranty is already passed. Today when I went to the service center after diagnosticians they mentioned that the Cruise control sensor has failed due to these issues. Due to pandemic the supply chain is impacted and part is not available. So I ordered the part to the service center. The BRAKE SYSTEM light is also on. Similar issue occurred sometime in 2018 after purchase of the new car in 2017. Initially I informed this issue to the service center. Case no was open with Honda - Case # 06624477. But the issue was not able to be replicated, the service center people told me that the software is updated and that it is not going to flash again. Looks like th

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the warning message "Brake" illuminated, and the vehicle inadvertently engaged the vehicle decelerated. The contact stated that she released and then depressed the accelerator pedal and continued to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact stated that the vehicle engaged the brake pedal independently and completely stopped the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure because the OBD reader could not read any codes. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to follow up with the dealer for diagnosis. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

While driving on the highway at 50 miles per hour, the tailgate opened by itself. The tailgate has opened by itself on five separate occasions, but three of them while the car was parked. Two of them while the car was moving. The first one at 15 mph and this second one at 50 mph.

The adaptive cruise control was set on the highway. When an attempt was made to increase speed to pass a vehicle, the engine started chugging, the check engine light came on and the vehicle lost power. After, I was able to pull to the side of the highway, I turned the vehicle off. Restarted the vehicle and check engine light was no longer on and was able to proceed as normal.

I was driving on a city street with no vehicles in front of me or behind me. There was a patch of road that had a metal plate from construction (there was no active construction). Out of the blue and for no reason, the Automatic Brake light flashed and my CRV slammed on the brakes. If there had been a car behind me it would have hit me... if I had been on the highway and went over a plate it could have been tragic. Everything on my front passenger seat ended up on the floor. The CRV (which I own) is my daughter's car. I called Honda as soon as I got to my office to see if there was a recall and there was none. I am presently looking into how t turn this feature off.

While I was driving on the highway with cruise control on, the car kept slowing down because of shadow from car in the other lane.

44,000 miles all warning lights come on. Dealer says, need new injectors and a pipe. to my knowledge injectors were redesigned. still coming on but car runs smoot. and very good gas mileage.

I noticed the car lights flicker when the car was parked and when I would reverse the car into a parking spot the infotainment system would just shut off abruptly and the lights would extremely dim. I took it to a local mechanic to have it inspected. He suggested changing the battery and alternator. After changing the alternator and battery the car was unable to start 2 months later. It required a jump and needed was taken to the dealership. The dealership said it was a software issue and uprgraded/reprogrammed the vehicle. After the upgrade the car was still having drain issues the next day. This time the lights were flickering while driving and felt like it was sputtering at 72mph. The car is not safe to drive due to possibility of shutting down at any moment and the constant drain on the battery. Honda will not address the issue but will only suggest unneeded costly repairs (chaning the alternator). There is currently a class action lawsuit against HONDA regarding a parasitic drain on the battery. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!!

After the car is turned completely off, the dash lights up with all warning lights on and won't shut down, which then drains the battery. This has happened 3 times and we've gone through 2 batteries. The 3rd time it happened, we were able to get it to the dealership before it drained the battery completely. The dealership was able to confirm that it's the Body Control Module that is causing the electrical shortage which completely drains the battery. Part is on back order and car is unsafe to drive at this time because of the electrical shortage in the BCM.

Corroded battery cables causing battery failure and electrical malfunctions. If left unchecked may have led to a fire

While driving through a construction zone at approximately 30mph my Automatic Emergency Braking system suddenly engaged and brought me to a complete stop. It seemed to be sensing a metal plate that was placed on the road in the construction zone to cover a hole. There were cars directly behind me and this very nearly caused a collision. Luckily the driver behind me was alert and reacted quickly enough. This is now the second time this has happened to me, both times with a metal plate on the road covering a hole. Very serious safety issue.

All the warning lights come on while driving. I have to disconnect the battery to reset it. I get the brake warning signal when no other vehicles are around. At times my vehicle will slow down with no other vehicles close to me. This issue could cause an accident if someone is around. I had to turn the walk away feature off due to the alarm continuously sounding. My vehicle was inspected by a dealer for the issue with the alarm sounding. They weren’t able to give a definite cause and suggested I turn the walk away feature off. The other issues have been occurring since February of 2020 and have not been inspected. My vehicle is available for inspection. All of these issues occur at different times. The warning lights started coming back on October 15, 2021.

The electrical wiring malfunctioned and all the warning notifications are sounding on the dashboard. Tire Monitoring System, Brake System, Brake Hold System, Vehicle Stability Problem, Hillside Assist Problem, Road Departure Migration System, etc... Also, the Emergency Brake engages every time the car turns off. We cannot disable this feature. We have to take the emergency brake off every time we turn the car on. When this happens, the only way to terminate the warning notifications is to disconnect the battery and wait 15-20 minutes. We are concerned the emergency brake could malfunction and engage when the car is driving.

Car shut off and there was no power. Battery was dead and I had to get a jump from a family member. This is the 6th or 7th time my battery has died. I've had it replaced 4 times and going for a 5th this weekend. I've had my car jumped multiple times by my father and i lost count really. There a well known parasitic draw issue which drains the battery, which causes component failure. This car is unsafe to drive.

Every warning light on the dashboard lit up. Car would only go 10 miles/hour. Read on the internet this is a problem with this 2017 1.5 Turbo engine.

For some unknown reason all the warning lights will come on in the instrument cluster. This includes all the safety features of the vehicle. When the lights are on none of the safety features work. This includes the emergency braking, lane keep assist, and the cruise control just to name a few. I have reached out to the Honda Corp. with no luck on getting the issue fixed.

Problem 1: My car has 30,000 miles but her Honda since it is past the 36 months it is no longer under warranty. Problem 2: I feel this is a safety issue due to the nature of the failure and the consequences of an immediately failure rendering the car undriveable. This is how the problem unfolded. I started the car. Immediately "System failures" started scrolling across the dash system including Power Brake Failure. I called Honda service, explained what was happening, and Per the Honda service representative, I was told I could drive the car in. I explained the car would not come out of park thus I could not drive it. I was then told how to manually get the car out of park to drive it in for evaluation. I put it in reverse to get out of the garage and when I tried to stop the car I and had no brakes or steering. I got the car to stop by standing with both feet and all my weight on the brake peddle. I Had towed on a flat bed tow truck into Ed Napleton Honda. I was told by Honda that they have never seen this system failure without "a rodent being involved" as they chew threw the housing and then chew on the wires causing the electrical problem. After about 36 hours I was called and told that they had to replace the Brake Power Booster sensor, "no evidence of rodent involvement" and no explanation of why the part failed. I was informed that before further evaluation could be done there was no choice but to replace the Power Booster. I was told it would be $2600.00 and that even

2017 Honda CRV Touring 19, 647 miles. As I was approaching a red light, I stepped on my brake to slow down and brake for the red light. Upon trying to stop, I had NO BRAKE POWER WHATSOEVER. Having no brake power I could not stop, I did have an accident and hit another vehicle. My vehicle still would not stop as I continued to try and brake. I drifted approximately 1/2 mile from the accident until it fully stopped. My airbag went off and my Honda Link did contact the police and ambulance. I had minor injuries and just went to my primary physician. I do have a police report. At this time it is at an independent collision center, once repaired it will go to Honda for scanning and diagnose. I am told it can be repaired, BUT, who will diagnose why this happened, and I don’t know why automatic emergency braking system didn’t work.

Vehicle stutters when cold, and strong fuel smell when operating vehicle. There were no warnings message, problems has not been confirmed by a dealer.

I was driving with my grandchildren in my 2017 CR-V AWD and when I stopped the vehicle I was unable to put the car in park. I could not move the gear shift and then the gear shift knob fell off. I had to call my husband who was able to rig it so that we could put the car in our driveway. I researched online and on this site and see that it is a known problem. I took the car to the dealership today. They stated that it was a recall but that my car VIN was not included in the recall. My car was the first one that they had repaired that was not included in the recall. I had it fixed and paid $82.96. It is not just the money that upsets me but the fact that I was stuck with no way to put my car in park and that they knew about the problem but had not notified me to get it fixed. I did do an online chat with a Honda rep and am waiting to hear back from them. I only had 28,209 miles on my vehicle. I was not given the old parts after the repair

Pulled out of a parking spot, and after shifting into drive, I heard a pop. Then when I got home, and pulled into the garage to park, realized the shift button was missing and that I couldn't get the car into park. After much finagling, I was able to get into park. We then found the button that had broken off on the floor. With this button broken off the car is inoperable due to not being able to shift the gears. This is a problem that has been reported before on this vehicle and some of the vehicles have been recalled for this problem. I called the dealership and was told my vehicle was not part of that recall, but they were aware of this problem.

When the vehicle is not driven for a few days, battery is dead. There is a parasitic drain going on with the battery and Honda is not addressing this problem. This has happened numerous times. The battery has been replaced twice but problem still exists. Dealer cannot fix this issue. Have read reports of vehicle stopping while people are driving it because the battery dies.

I was driving along the highway when all of a sudden the car stalled and all of the lights started to flash; we noticed there is a recall for fuel pumps on 2018-2019 honda CR-V's but this is the same exact thing that happend to our 2017, luckily nobody was hurt as the state police came right away and we were towed to the side of the highway; there was no warning signs; We had the car towed to the Honda dealership and it was diagnosed as a faulty/failing fuel pump. Hope this helps

I smell Gas on the engine and outside the Car. I took out the dipstick. It smell Gas too. There's Website www.crvownersclub.com gave this Website to report problems. I hope NHTSA will investigate this issue. Should this issue be recall for safety issue? Regards Jim

I was pulling into my garage. As i was decelerating, my vehicle lunged forward, making a loud, revving engine noise. My foot was on the brake, but this didn't prevent my CRV from impacting the back wall of the garage with enough force to crack the interior sheetrock and floor molding and pushing the king size bed approximately two feet away from the wall. Car also suffered considerable damage under the hood, and is not driveable. The airbag did not engage.

I while driving my 2017 Honda CRV on a country road with no one in front of me or behind. It was a clear day. There were no obstacles or shadows on the road. The road was straight. On its own, the car decided to apply the automatic emergency braking, bring my car to a stop. This was very scary. I was lucky no car was behind me. I took it into the Honda dealership, and they could not identify any problems or provide any solutions.

My 2017 Honda CR-V had a noise coming from the steering wheel. My local Honda dealer Wesley Chapel Honda diagnosed the problem and found out that the defective part is the "cable reel" in the steering wheel of the car. This defective cable reel is related to the air bag and could pose serious safety issues. Honda has issued a Recall for the same part "cable reel" for 2019 CR-V all trims (Service Bulletin 19-062). In my case, the problem is caused by the same defective part "cable reel"and should be recalled by Honda and fixed for me as soon as possible. Honda North America should extend their recall to cover more CR-Vs using the same defective part.

My 2017 Honda CRV was just little over 25k millage and A/C stop working, only blow hot air. It was very dangerous to drive during heavy rain condition in summer. It is a very serious safety matter and it should be a recall for a fixing. I don't understand why Honda ignored so many complaints and not fixing it. It is completely ruin its reputation all over the years they have developed in USA.

The center console display will not dim. Attempting to dim it results in momentary dimming and then it returns to full brightness. The glare from the display makes it extremely difficult to see at night. I had the dealer check it out and they told me that Honda released a Technical Service Bulletin to replace the unit. However, since the vehicle is not under warranty at this time the part alone is around $2300. This is a safety issue and should be covered or repaired at a lower cost.

Was driving over railroad tracks when BRAKE warning suddenly came on screen causing automatic braking. This lead to a sudden and complete stop causing vehicle to almost be rear ended. Nothing was in the road that should have caused the collision mitigation system to trip and apply the brakes. Nothing appears wrong otherwise or since the sudden braking

When starting the vehicle, all of the safety system warning messages came on one right after the others. Sometimes, it is enough to turn the engine off for a few minutes and restart the car, for all of the warnings to be cleared. Other times (this past weekend) the same thing happens several starts in a row. The vehicle seemed to operate normally despite the warnings—most of which relate to assisted driving and safety systems. I don’t know if the problem actually created a safety risk. The vehicle has not been taken to a dealer or service center, but I am taking it in the day after tomorrow. It has not been inspected. The system warning lights themselves are the problem.

As I was driving out of town, my A/c stopped working. It was over 80 degrees outside but we were able to roll down windows. However, it became a real safety issue when it rained and I was on a major interstate in another state. My windows fogged up and I couldn’t get it to clear because there was no A/C. My repair shop says compressor is bad. It appears to be a relatively common problem.

Vehicle reports multiple faults at once at random instances. Usually happens upon turning the Vehicle on Faults include: Engine system problem Tire pressure monitor system Electrical power steering Adaptive cruise control CMBS problem (collision mitigation braking system problem) RDM problem (road departure mitigation problem) Each light associated with these systems indicate on the dash along with scrolling text The vehicle operates normally besides certain systems being disabled entirely Steers normal Brakes normal (the electronic braking system flashes and does not indicate whether or not the brakes are applied in which they do lock and release) Engine seems to run fine

On multiple occasions, the audio/information display screen has gone completely blank or black. It worked in the back up mode where I could see behind my car, but would not display any controls, climate, audio, phone etc. The screen was completely black. After turning on/off no change. After leaving the car off overnight, it worked the next day. Again this happened at least 3 times over the past year.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle would not start due to battery drainage. The contact could not jumpstart the vehicle. The battery was replaced 3 weeks prior to the failure. The contact stated that 7 months prior, the battery had been replaced. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was awaiting a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 156,000.

The shift lever push button fell off while I was driving the car. Luckily it did not cause an accident to me. Now the car is unusable until repaired.

Air conditioning system broke just over 3 years after purchase. Just outside dealer warranty period. I believe it is the AC compressor. From what I'm reading online, this is a very common issue for the CRV models in the years 2017-2020 and should be subject to a recall. No warning signs before it went down.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving on several occasions, several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

The car doesn’t start . I have a message of brake system and don’t recognize the keys

While driving on the NJ turnpike dashboard lights came on indicating system issue with adaptive cruise control, road hazard mitigation system and brake system. Went to the dealer and they said the radar needed to be replaced at a cost of $1300. Research on the internet indicates this is a problem with many 2017 Honda CRV's and class action lawsuits have been launched across the country. i believe there should be a recall on the 2017 Honda CRV since it is affecting so many vehicles. Thank You.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights illuminated and remained illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and performed a system reset however, the warning lights remained illuminated. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,000.

In less than three and half years, I have replaced the battery at least three times. This time like the others, the battery was DEAD. I took it to the dealership (Pacific Honda) and with documentation from O Reilly's confirming the battery was good. The initial evaluation from the dealership was some kind of module (can't remember the name he gave me) was the cause and needed to be replaced. The part was to be delivered the next day. However, later the next day I received a call informing me that the diagnosis was wrong. The "Shifter Base Assembly" was defective and not alerting the system the car was in park. That caused the electrical system to remain active and draining the battery. That part is on back-order and unknown when it will be available. My car is parked at the dealership at no use to me. A "Google" inquiry alerted me to a widespread module issue draining the battery.

The air conditioner wasn't cooling. We tested and found the driver's side was only blowing 68 degrees and the passenger side was 55 degrees at the lowest setting. I took it to the dealer and they found a leak in the discharge hose. Please see the attached fix and invoice. I believe these suvs should be re-called and that I should be reimbursed the $100 deductible I had to pay for it to be fixed. Thanks!

When driving, the gear shift button fell out. I was able to temporarily continue putting it in to shift gears, but then the internal part crumbled and the gear will not lock/permanently pressed in. Overnight, this caused my car to lose power (battery drain)? Will require replacement to be installed; cannot use car in meantime.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while shifting gears, the shifter button detached without warning. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while his wife was driving approximately 50-60 mph, the brake pedal was stiff. The driver shifted into neutral as the speed decreased and placed the gear shifter into park. The braking system warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and drove as designed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 34,081.
