2017 Honda CR-V complaints

Since approximately mid-2024, my 2017 Honda CR-V has intermittently displayed a cascading series of dashboard warning lights, including TPMS, ABS, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), EPS (Electric Power Steering), Brake System, Hill Start Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Road Departure Mitigation. When active, these lights fully disable Honda Sensing driver-assist features. The pattern is consistent and recurring: warning lights remain active for approximately 3-4 days, then self-clear for 1-2 days, before recurring again. This cycle has repeated for over 18 months. A windshield replacement with camera recalibration temporarily resolved the issue for approximately one week before it returned. On 07/02/2026, I brought the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership (Honda of Short Pump, Richmond, VA) specifically to diagnose this warning light cascade, and paid a $195 diagnostic fee. The technician's documented complaint states the lights are intermittent and 'stay on about 3-4 days.' Despite this being the stated complaint, the dealership's diagnostic report identified only two unrelated fault codes — P05A0 (Active Grille Shutter malfunction) and P0172 (Fuel System Too Rich) — and did not identify, report, or provide any code specific to the TPMS, ABS, VSA, EPS, or ADAS/camera systems actually affected. When asked, the service advisor verbally attributed the light cascade to the shutter and injector faults, but could not provide supporting d

The air conditioning on my 2017 Honda CR-V repeatedly failed to blow cold air. On the most recent visit, the dealer found the A/C system had no pressure and the A/C discharge hose was leaking. I paid approximately $4,162 for a discharge hose replacement and system recharge, and the A/C still does not cool afterward. This matches the known A/C compressor shaft seal defect affecting 2017-2022 CR-V models, which Honda has acknowledged through a warranty extension (Service Bulletin 23-039) rather than a formal recall. The shaft seal can swell and leak refrigerant, leading to loss of cooling and downstream damage to A/C components such as the discharge hose. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by a Honda dealer, and the failed components are available for inspection. A/C concerns were logged by the dealer on multiple prior occasions (2022, 2025, and 2026), showing a recurring, unresolved failure. The vehicle has roughly 67,000 miles, well within normal service life. Warning symptom prior to failure: the A/C gradually stopped cooling and intermittently blew warm air over multiple seasons before failing completely. Safety note: A/C failure is primarily a comfort and reliability defect rather than a crash hazard, but loss of defrost/climate performance can affect visibility and driver comfort in extreme heat.

I experienced an dangerous incident yesterday while driving my 2017 Honda CRV at highway speed in Minneapolis, MN area. The Collision Mitigation Braking System activated suddenly and without warning. An extremely abrupt/harsh employment of the braking system was experienced without any warning. The unexpected and extremely sudden activation of the braking system caused myself and the car’s contents to be thrown forward into the front of the vehicle, and causing me to nearly loose control of the vehicle. It felt like this 'safety' system took control of the vehicle for an eternity, but likely was no more than a few seconds before power returned to the accelerator and I was safely able to navigate to the far right lane. The onset and braking was so abrupt and extreme, that I could have been easily rear-ended if someone was directly behind me. There was nothing immediately in front of me that should have caused this system to activate. I had no idea at the time as to what was going on, thinking my car was having some sort of mechanical issues. I drove home on ‘pins and needles’ hoping I would make it to Baxter, Mn where I live. I later learned that this was likely the CMBS, as other consumers had described exactly what I experienced. Even though I now intend to disable the system, I am now extremely apprehensive to drive the vehicle for fear this will activate unexpectedly again, causing an abrupt and dangerous (potentially life-threatening) while in traffic. This is a shame as

There doesn't have to be a vehicle or obstacle in front of the vehicle and the brake system will automatically apply. This is extremely dangerous as vehicles behind the CRV have no warning the brakes are being instantly applied on the highway and/or street roads. Practically slams on the brakes.

On May 25th, 2026 multiple dashboard warning lights flashed simultaneously while I was driving indicating an immediate engine issue, all warning alerts showed up. Next day, the engine exhibited a structural shudder/shake. The vehicle has otherwise always been perfectly maintained and operated flawlessly, thus, I called the dealership/ they gave me an appointment for the next day, after their inspection, they said that they need to replace the head gasket, timing chain set, and fuel injectors simultaneously; i learnt the imminent safety hazard i was exposed to! Operating a vehicle with an active internal fluid leak and compromised cylinder sealing creates an unpredictable driving hazard, putting occupants at risk of being stranded or rear-ended due to sudden engine failure. This proves that this is a systemic thermal defect affecting the structural integrity of the 1.5L turbo powertrain. The dealership stated the vehicle requires a top-end engine rebuild, specifically: a head gasket, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and a timing chain set. This is unacceptable given that my car is only 58.8K miles. I purchased the car brand new and always take good care, this issue is putting tens of thousands of dollars at financial risk! Now, on top of that, they want me to pay around $ 6,000 thousand dollars for a well-documented 1.5L engineering defect. This will destroy my trust in the brand and guarantee I will never buy a Honda again. This should be a safety recall, and why must I pay for t

During a 2 hour drive, my 2017 Honda CRV EXL had all lights pop up on the dash and we experienced a sudden loss of acceleration on the highway. After finally being able to pull over, we were left stranded due to what a Honda dealership later found to be an oil dilution defect that caused a catastrophic failure in the turbocharger. Me and my girlfriend were left stranded for hours two hours away from home. This was a manufacturing defect that put me and my girlfriends lives at risk, this issue occured suddenly when we were travelling at highway speeds. The sudden flash of all dash lights during the incident were distracting as well as the situation incredibly worrying and could have caused us to crash. Even though we were able to stop safely, the situation has still created a lasting mental effect on me, as I have to carry the burden and trauma of the event with no reimbursment from Honda. There were no signs that could have told us this was going to happen as I have taken great care of the car, as it is my first car that I bought, and it is completely unaccetpable to have this happen to me when the car is only at 77,000 miles. The dealership did a diagnosis and the repair bill from the dealership to fix the turbo and intercooler is $5,000, and it is completely unacceptable that this even happened. I have taken great care of the car and a catastrophic failure of the engine system left us stranded for hours where we could not get any help. This has taken a huge toll on my menta

Roseville Toyota sold me a car with a faulty hood latch. It’s a safety issue and they refuse to acknowledge that they failed pre-inspections and refuse to fix it. I have to take it to an expert in order to close the hood

XXX. Purchased used Honda vehicle from Skyway Honda dealership in [XXX] with known steering issue - although unknown to me until reching highway speeds after driving off lot. 2017 Honda CR-V with Electronic Power Steering gear issue. Vehicle steering causes random movement and potential for over-corretion at highway speeds. NO prior indication of issue at time of purchase as vehicle had been "prepped for sale" at same-brand dealship with other maintenance services performed by service department. There are numerous complaints of same issue on the internet and there is no way dealer was unaware of the issue at time of sale nor was issue disclosed. Issue confirmed by independent service shop, repair cost estimate $5000. Issue related to NHTSA Recall 18V-663. NOT finding vehicle subject to recall, although same issue occurs on other vehicles of this make, model amd year. Have submitted request with Honda; pending: American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Case #: XXX INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle has accumulated 121,000 miles and has undergone all necessary services at the Honda dealership where it was originally purchased. The vehicle was driven under normal operating conditions by original owner. Now has a broken head gasket that a local Honda dealer wanted nearly 7k for the repairs. How does this happen and why? Since other owners are having the same issue, this should have been dealt with previously. Now I am without my car for the better part of a week. Please fix this!

All brake systems warning lamps illuminated while driving on the highway, the vehicle was pulled off the road and shut off, brakes were visually inspected and all fluid levels were examined and everything was intact. Vehicle was driven again after a breif time and everything was fine. A few weeks later all warning lamps were displayed, the vehicle was brought to a Honda dealership the following morning and a cracked fuel pump was diagnosed and the technician believed that there was no coolant in the vehicle and that was filled. The technicians suggested a scope of the engine to rule out a leaking head gasket but I could not afford it and monitored my coolant levels, had a pressure test done at a trusted mechanic and everything was fine for approx 3 months. Absolutely no coolant was observed on my driveway, the coolant level remained optimal on visual inspection. The vehicle started to drive roughly and I suspected new spark plugs were needed, those were installed at the dealership. The issue was not resolved and I returned w/in 1 month and was told that 3/4 cylinders were blown in addition to the head gasket. The vehicle has 106k miles and has received all maintenance as described. The cost to repair is over $8,000. I believe this is a failure on Honda as this is a very well documented issue with this specific vehicle.

My car stalls out when accelerating. The same issue explained by NHTSA recall 23V-858 but my vin is not included in the recall and it's a 2017 Honda CRV. I have almost been re ended when it stalls in traffic.

Am filing a complaint regarding my Honda vehicle being inoperable for over 2 months due to an airbag replacement part being on national backorder after the airbag was stolen. This is a critical safety component and I have been unable to safely use my vehicle during this time. Honda has acknowledged the part is unavailable and my case was marked “urgent,” however I have received very limited communication and no meaningful resolution timeline. I have also been told rental assistance is not being covered, leaving me without reliable transportation for months because a required safety part cannot be obtained. I am concerned about the length of time these safety-related components are unavailable and the impact this has on consumers who cannot safely operate their vehicles. I am requesting review of this issue and Honda’s handling of extended airbag-related part backorders

All warning lamps have been coming on at random times. The dealerships have always said there is no problem. Now, outside of warranty, I am reading that it's possible that the problem is that all of the fuel injectors need to be replaced. Online notes that this is a widespread issue with this particular vehicle. I was informed that I can disconnect the battery and it resets the system and warning lamps - sometimes for hours, sometimes for days/weeks.

The contact owns a 2017 HONDA CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, numerous warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, including the ABS and check engine lights. Concurrently, the vehicle lost engine motive power and was unable to accelerate. The vehicle was driven to a dealer where it was diagnosed to have a blown head gasket and issue with the fuel injector. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 225,000.

Cylinder 2 and 4 misfire, that will cause all the sensor lights to come on and the vehicle will stall out. Doesn't matter if driving 15 mph or 55 mph, it will just stall.

We bought a 2017 crv rand new. with 1.5 engine and turbo, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON .Obd keeps on giving ing medifferent codes and multiple..I have watch car repairs in YOUTUBE and there's a lot of the same vehicle as mine with the same problem.

The contact owns a 2017 HONDA CR-V. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH, her Vehicle suddenly braked on it's own prompting it come to a full stop causing the contact to get rear ended. No air bags deployed. The vehicle was not towed and was able to drive after. The contact stated she heard a beeping sound and saw a waring sign as the vehicle slowed down suddenly. No police report was filed. No injuries. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 164,000.

2017 Honda CRV Touring with VIN [XXX] . My son and daughter drove the car and all of a sudden all the lights started going off( it looks like Christmas lights). We got it scanned multiple times from different places where they have the scanner. It was showing P0304 Misfire #4 cylinder and U0401-68 ecm failure. We took it to the dealer and they found out the same code fuel injector needs to be replaced. I am single mom and didn't have the money to get it fix. Our car only had less than 21k. I stayed up to do more research online. Found out more about this common issues with same model. I contacted another dealer, explained my situation and he advised me to call honda corp to be added to the recall and mention goodwill. I immediately called the corporate but had to wait for their case mgr to get back with us. I asked my daughter to call the dealer where we got our car diagnosed, to ask svc advisor if it is safe to use the car and we were advised that it's ok to use. However my daughter was driving the car and all of a sudden it wasn't accelerating and only going around 5 miles per hour. She had to go back home and missed her classes. She was scared and I could just imagine how scary that was.How about if this happened when she was in the freeway? This could have caused a major accident. I don't understand why Honda only issued the recall to some cars with same model as ours if they already have lots of customers having same issue. I even read this issue was featured on ABC news

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact was driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with failed fuel injectors due to failed supply fuel pipes. The contact was informed that the four fuel injectors and the four fuel supply pipes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact referenced a recall NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V442000 (Fuel System Gasoline) however the contact's VIN was not associated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

Car has been running fine and maintenance is up to date . Got up one day to leave for work and when I went to accelerate I started hearing a grinding clatter type noise ( only when accelerating at about 3k-5k rpm ) and once the car got up to needed speed it goes away . No engine light codes ( but having intermittent connection issues with obd port but never been damaged or anything) but it does it sometimes consistently and sometimes it will have a few moments under same acceleration condition or higher rpms but its never consistent. When these occur the car feels like power loss in the acceleration and a slight dragging in the drivability but again not always present. Been to exaust shop and they found nothing from.their initial inspection. Its hard to trigger the affects since it happens randomly/intermittently. Very unsave and there are no reasons or explanations to these events

All warning lamps have been coming on for years. The dealerships have always said there is no problem. Now, outside of warranty, the problem is that all of the fuel injectors need to be replaced. Online notes that this is a widespread issue with this particular vehicle.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the engine was occasionally overheating. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with a fractured A/C discharge hose and refrigerant leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer on two occasions for the same issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,465.

5th generation (2017-2022) Honda CRV displaying ALL driver assistance system errors (stability control, cruise control, emergency anti-collision etc), check engine light, tire pressure monitor malfunction, parking brake, and some other lights. *OBDII scan reads back P0303* Battery was replaced in 2025, and has never tested at low voltage. Recently tested battery 04/26/2026 at 14.51V (with engine running). Spark plugs replaced 04/26/2026 with OEM NGK plugs with OE Gap 0.030". Drove car for 10 minutes and lights didn't go away. Upon researching, this appears to be a "replace all fuel injectors" job. Which also appears to be a fairly COMMON issue in these CRVs. My concern is that the misfire is disabling all driver safety systems and forcing the car into limp mode, and seems to be manufacturer error/negligence in terms of part reliability/quality. These parts are also on a 6-9 month BACK ORDER because of how common the issue is. Honda released "Service Bulletin 19-032" as a means to make dealers aware of the issue but I find this dishonest to the customers and Honda owners who purchase the vehicles on the promise of reliability. Please look into this issue, as it seems to happen just outside of warranty on these cars. Honda scarcely giving out goodwill refunds/assistance for THEIR factory-issue.

My 2017 CRV Touring was working fine. I had a fender bender accident and they replaced the Collision Mitigation Braking System with a new Honda part. After the repair and I have the car in cruise control, it will suddenly brake and decelerate when there is nothing in front of me. This is very dangerous when you're going 65 mph on a highway. It is at the Honda Short Pump dealership. They have had it for 4 working days and can't find the problem. I know there was a class action lawsuit and Honda won, but surely this is a very serious problem they should fix.

First owner of a newly purchased 2017 Honda CR-V that has been well and regularly maintained. Driving at 25mph in a city and every single warning light and dash light simultaneously came on. Every single one -- brakes, headlights, emergency brake, engine, etc. Eventually codes read off the car's computer showed P0172, P219C, P219F -- all of these codes relate to the fuel injectors. I brought the car to a Honda dealer and they confirmed that all of the fuel injectors needed to be replaced and said the fuel injectors are "faulty" and "from a bad batch." Lots of Honda forums online talking about faulty fuel injectors. A whole thread on 2017 CR-V fuel injector problems can be easily found online along with service bulletins for fuel injector problems (with the code P0172) for similar year, different model Honda vehicles. The dealership confirmed the fuel injector problem but then said they couldn't source the parts despite a "global search" and putting us on a "critical list." We then went to a competent independent mechanic who was able to source Honda OEM fuel injector replacement kit from a different Honda dealership (not sure why the first Honda dealership couldn't get the parts then...) The independent mechanic said the fuel injectors looked "terrible" and "definitely faulty." He sent us home with the old parts, which we have and could supply. Faulty fuel injectors affecting the propulsion system feels unsafe and the fact that Honda told us "you are out of luck" with regard

While driving my 2017 Honda CR-V, I experienced sudden, unexpected steering behavior consistent with a defective electronic power steering (EPS) gearbox. The steering wheel momentarily became difficult to turn in either direction, with a "sticky" or binding feel followed by a sudden release of resistance, causing oversteer beyond my input. When the wheel was turned to or near full lock, the EPS appeared to apply assist opposite my input, briefly pulling the vehicle unexpectedly to one side. The failure occurred early on most noticably at highway speeds going down windy roads downhill. It became progressively worse in other driving situations over time. This unintended steering behavior reduced vehicle maneuverability and created a serious risk of loss of control, including coming dangerously close to unavoidably crossing the double-yellow line into oncoming traffic. I took the vehicle to Tony Honda in Kona. The dealer diagnosed a defective EPS steering gearbox and replaced the gearbox assembly, performed a four-wheel alignment, and completed the steering angle neutral position learning procedure. The diagnosis and repair exactly match Honda Service Bulletin 18-103 / NHTSA Recall 18V-663 (Honda codes C2N / P2O), covering 2017–2018 Civic and CR-V vehicles for an improperly secured torque sensor magnet that shifts within the gearbox and causes unintended steering input. However, my VIN was not included in the recall, and I paid $2,000 out of pocket for a repair Honda performs fr

My 2017 Honda Crv Lx has steering slack and stiffness. Other trim packages of this same vehicle make and model have the same issue which has been recalled but not the LX.

My valve cover gasket started leaking enough to notice on the dipstick. Was losing about 3/4 of a quart in an oil change interval. After some research I’ve seen that this is a very common issue with the 2017 Crv LX 2.4l

System/Component Involved: Fuel System / Fuel Injectors / High-Pressure Fuel Joint Pipe Description of Incident and Safety Risk: My 2017 Honda CR-V (1.5T engine) experienced a fuel system failure evidenced by DTC P0172 and a failed AF cylinder test, confirmed by an authorized Honda dealer. This failure leads to engine hesitation and power loss, creating a safety hazard during operation. More critically, during the repair (Case #16244235), the dealer and manufacturer refused to replace the High-Pressure Fuel Joint Pipe. According to Honda’s official Service Manual and TSBs for the Earth Dreams 1.5T engine, this pipe is a mandatory, one-time-use component that must be replaced whenever fuel injectors are serviced. Reusing this component violates Honda’s own safety protocols and poses a severe fire risk due to potential fuel leakage under high pressure ($20\text{ MPa}$+). Safety Risk to Others: Reinstalling a non-reusable high-pressure fuel line creates a high probability of fuel spraying onto hot engine components, leading to an under-hood fire while driving. This endangers the occupants and others on the road. Reproduction and Inspection: The injector failure was confirmed by [Insert Dealer Name] in Houston, TX. The subsequent safety violation (failure to replace the mandatory fuel joint pipe) is documented on my repair invoice dated April 2026. The vehicle and the old part (if still on the car) are available for inspection. Symptoms and Warning Lamps: The Check Engine Light (

On March 28, 2026, the check engine light illuminated on my 2017 Honda CR-V EX (VIN [XXX] ) at 59,057 miles. I pulled diagnostic trouble codes with a consumer OBD-II reader and recorded P0301, P0302, and P0303. On March 30, 2026, I contacted American Honda Customer Service to request goodwill repair assistance. I was told to obtain an authorized dealer diagnostic and resubmit. I did so. On March 31, 2026, I had Goudy Honda perform an authorized diagnostic (repair order #315466. Goudy confirmed the stored DTCs were P0300 (random misfire detected), P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire detected), and P0302 (cylinder 2 misfire detected). The dealer recommended replacement of all four fuel injectors at a quoted cost of $1,961.17 plus tax, and stated the injectors were out of factory, powertrain, and emission warranties. This DTC set (P0300–P0304 and P0172) is the exact set addressed by American Honda Motor Co.'s own Service Bulletin 18-124 and Service Bulletin 19-037. On April 10, 2026, Honda Corporate denied assistance on the ground that the vehicle is "out of warranty." On April 20, 2026, a Honda Corporate representative named Desiree called me to say that American Honda will not document in writing the reasoning for the denial and will send only a generic template. This matches the pattern of consumer complaints described in Bissell v. American Honda Motor Co which catalogs hundreds of similar ODI complaints and alleges that American Honda has known of, and concealed, a defect in its 1.5L

Steering gets "sticky". Brought car to Honda dealer and just by test driving the car they want $6000 to replace bad bearings, steering motor and gearbox. No diagnostic test was done or parts looked at physically. I brought car to a local mechanic who also test drove car and did a diagnostic test and they said the steering motor and gearbox are fine and said nothing wrong with car. Honda has had recall on 2017-2018 crvs due to faulty steering mechanism. This is obviously a known Honda safety issue since Honda dealer knew what problem was just by test driving car and known recall. Why is my car not covered even though Honda said it's out of warranty? Which mechanic do I believe? Can local mechanic diagnostic test pick up the problem as outlined in Honda recall with magnet issue? I don't want to drive an unsafe car yet Honda wants $6k and I don't know for sure if there's a safety issue.

Head gasket failed due to bolts stretching allowing coolant to leak into the cylinder on cold starts until the engine warmed and sealed itself. Was confirmed by Honda technician be causing a misfire on cylinder 4 throwing code p0304 and all warning lights on dash going off during cold starts only. Lead to unreliable transportation, slow acceleration, and even random parking brake engagement one time when waiting to pull out from a parking lot into traffic, in a vehicle supposed to be sold as reliable for families and to last over 200k miles with proper maintenance while this has happened at 140,000 miles despite proper maintenance and at no fault of my own, but as a design flaw that Honda is aware of and wont recall to fix causing major costly repairs.

I have a 2017 CRV 1.5T. I currently have confirmed fuel dilution and a P219F (emission systems problem) code. Records show TSB 18-114 was performed as Honda tried to fix the fuel dilution problem through an ECM software update but it did not fix the issue. They followed it up with TSB 19-067 which was to further update the ECM software. The problem is this was not applied to all CRV 1.5T including mine. This is known ongoing defect and leads to car going into limp mode in highway driving. That is dangerous and a safety hazard. Honda should update the ECM software fix for all Honda CRVs using the 1.5T and replace faulty fuel injectors.

I have experienced instances of the brakes being aggressively applied unexpectedly when no other vehicles or stationary objects are nearby to trigger the collision avoidance system. Any car following immediately behind would have rear-ended me. This has occurred a few times in the last 12 months. No warning lights are present prior to, or when this occurs. I have not had the vehicle inspected by anyone given the intermittent nature of this issue.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost automotive power with the check engine warning illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was a recurring failure and caused the vehicle to stall. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that failure was constant while driving uphill. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 129,000.

The car runs hot and needs antifreeze. I add antifreeze. The next week it runs hot again. There is no antifreeze leaking on the ground. The Honda dealer stated the antifreeze is leaking into the engine and blown a head gasket. I am advised this is very common problem for a Honda CRV. It should be a recall. This is why I am filing a complaint. The Honda dealer wants $7000 to fix it. The car has 102,000 miles.

CRV 2017 Head Gasket on engine Failure

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing safety issue with my 2017 Honda CR‑V equipped with the 1.5L turbocharged engine. While driving, the vehicle experienced sudden and unexpected power loss, creating a dangerous situation, particularly while in traffic. During this incident, the vehicle also began emitting visible smoke, indicating a serious mechanical or engine-related failure. At the same time, the dashboard and instrument panel malfunctioned or failed, limiting my ability to receive warnings or diagnose the issue while operating the vehicle. Over the past 23 months, I have brought this vehicle to three different Honda dealerships due to warning lights, abnormal behavior, and ongoing concerns related to performance and reliability. Despite multiple service visits, the dealerships were unable to properly identify or resolve the underlying issue. Temporary explanations or repairs were provided, but the problem persisted. It was only during the most recent dealership visit in the last week that the issue was finally properly identified, after months of unresolved complaints and warning indicators. By that time, the vehicle had already experienced a serious failure involving power loss, smoke, and dashboard malfunction. The prolonged inability to correctly diagnose and repair this vehicle, combined with the sudden power loss and system failures, created a significant safety hazard. This failure could have resulted in a crash and placed vehicle occupant

Been having trouble with the climate control system and the radio screen will black out unexpectedly. this has been going on for years. last night, 3/24/2026, I came home and as I put the vehicle in park, all of a sudden the dashboard lights up with all sorts of faults. when I went to go to work on 3/25/2026, I still had all of the faults lit up on the dashboard, and when I went to put the vehicle in reverse it wouldn't go anywhere because one of the faults was a brake system fault. I was told that this could happen going down the highway where the brake system and the other faults could come back on and cause a crash.

Engine light came on loss of power. I had to have it towed back home. A independent shop investigated the situation found coolant in the cylinder head. They found out it was a bad head gasket, which led to engine failure when going to replace the head gasket part of the cylinder wall peace was missing. I had to replace the whole engine.

We are experiencing fule injector issues which causes all the systems to switch off, and has caused issues with the car starting, battery draining and issues in getting the car to accelerate. This car has only 110000 miles and should not be having issues this early.

Engine failure due to bad head gasket.i lost power to the vehicle. The problem was confirmed by independent shop. The vehicle was inspected by independent shop. The engine light came on when the engine failed.

My 2017 Honda CRV VIN [XXX] AC compressor has completely seized/locked up. This has caused: (1) loss of engine power while driving with AC on, (2) burning smell from engine compartment, (3) loud grinding noise. A seized AC compressor risks snapping the serpentine belt while driving, which causes sudden loss of power steering — a direct safety hazard at highway speeds. This is a known Honda defect covered under TSB 23-040, yet the dealer denied warranty coverage claiming the compressor failure is unrelated to the shaft seal defect. The root cause was never addressed despite my car being serviced in May 19 2023 and they charged for discharge hose and freeon filling for 900$. The same day honda extended warranty of parts via TSB 23-040. I feel Honda dealership never found the root cause and beating around the bush. We lose money and health and safety is also getting intona concern. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In [XXX], my daughter's 2017 Honda CR-V EX (VIN: [XXX] ) broke down while driving due to turbocharger failure. The vehicle was towed to Corwin Honda in Colorado Springs, CO, an authorized Honda dealership. The repair order documented the customer complaint as "multiple warning lights on, lack of acceleration, coolant was added." The dealership replaced the turbocharger for $4,540. The multi-point inspection form from that visit shows the coolant recovery reservoir as "Not Inspected," despite the stated coolant complaint and despite the service estimate promising to check all fluid levels. Four months later, in February 2026, the vehicle broke down again while being driven. The same dealership has now diagnosed a blown head gasket and is recommending full engine replacement. The vehicle lost power while in motion, creating a safety hazard. I want to note that Corwin Honda's shop foreman acknowledged during a recorded conversation that they are currently seeing multiple identical failure patterns — turbo failure followed by head gasket failure — on 2017-2019 Honda CR-Vs with the 1.5T engine, and that the volume of such cases has increased significantly in the past six to nine months. I am aware that Honda is currently a defendant in active federal class action litigation [XXX] et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Case No. [XXX]) specifically alleging a design defect in the 1.5T engine causing coolant leakage, head gasket failure, and sudden loss of power. The sudden loss of moti

I was pumping gas and DURING gas started pouring out by the rear tire flap. It was not a whole tank but a large amount. And the next day also noticed a puddle where gas tank lies. This has happened in the past but sporadically and not all of the gas comes out. Also, there is a safety recall on rear fuel feed pipe leaks AND fuel pump motor but supposedly not on this particular vehicle year/VIN.

In late December (2025) we noticed that our Honda CR-V was starting up rough each day. One day, we found that all of the warnings were being cycled through on the dashboard (TPMS, Check Engine, ABS, etc.) We took it into a local mechanic on December 29th, but when we dropped it off, the problem was not presenting. They performed routine maintenance (~105,000 miles), and did not notice any obvious problems with the engine. They told us to bring it back if the problem returned. We noticed the engine problem getting worse over time, and on February 7th, the warning lights came on again and did not go off. We took the car to the mechanic on February 11th where it was diagnosed as a head gasket failure. On February 14th we took it to a Honda Service Center for a second opinion where they confirmed the head gasket failure. Both places told us the cost to repair it would be at least $6000, which Honda giving us a quote of $7570 with tax. The car is currently with Honda being repaired. We were told that driving the car in these conditions was not safe. The fluid in the engine cylinders could cause the engine to lock up and cause a dangerous driving condition. We have also been told that a head gasket failure at only 100,000 miles is not normal, and this is from a documented design flaw. We feel that Honda should take responsibility for this flaw and cover the cost of repairs.

There's an issue with the fuel injectors on the 2017 1.5 Turbo engine on the CRV. There was a service bulletin issued in 2019 about this and basically not much done by Honda on this concern which is a major repair costing around 2400 dollars. The issue caused all lights on the dashboard to light up. The vehicle runs rough and times you smell gas also.

I was driving across a major intersection when the car slammed on the brakes for no reason. There were no shadows. I was not under a bridge. It is an overcast day. No direct sun. My safety was at risk because I could have been hit by oncoming traffic when I was trying to go forward.

Random problems since purchase with screen going out and emergency brake light either flashing for no reason and braking for no reason. In 2023 the brake system completely failed while driving. Honda dealer replaced fuel pump which helped for awhile. Now flashing brake warning for no reason is happening again. Fear the car will either start braking again for no reason or another system failure might occur. Afraid to drive the car.

Vehicle cycled through all of the warnings on the dashboard and lost power when trying to accelerate and engine light came on. Stalled on the side of the highway and had to be towed. Mechanic said the code for the issue was the catalytic converter and O2 sensor.
