2017 Honda CR-V complaints

GASOLINE MIXING INTO ENGINE OIL - 1.5 LITER ENGINE. FIRST NOTICED AT 3000 MILES, NOW AGAIN AT 7700 MILES.

I HAVE NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF MY 2017 HONDA CR-V EX FROM TIME TO TIME, SO I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. IT SEEMS SIMILAR VEHICLES SUFFER FROM THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE GAS IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL. I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL, AND SURE ENOUGH THE LEVEL IS VERY HIGH AND THE OIL SMELLS LIKE GAS.

ON SEVERAL SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS LOST POWER AND STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

OIL CRANKCASE SEEMS TO BE OVER FILL AFTER CHECKING THE DEEP STICK,AND SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE, POSSIBLY GAS IS LEAKING INSIDE AND GETS MIX WITH THE ENGINE OIL.

EXPERIENCING RISING OIL LEVELS DUE TO HIGH LEVELS OF GASOLINE BEING ENTRAINED IN THE OIL. THIS IS CAUSING THE OIL TO BECOME INCREASINGLY THIN AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND ON A FLAT SURFACE DURING EACH OF THE OIL CHECKS.

FUEL IS MIXING WITH THE MOTOR OIL AND DILUTING IT. OIL LEVEL RISES ABOVE THE FULL MARK ON THE OIL DIPSTICK AND HAS AN ODOR OF FUEL. I HAD A PROFESSIONAL OIL ANALYSIS PERFORMED THAT CONFIRMED THAT THE OIL IS BEING DILUTED AND VISCOSITY LOST. A COPY IS ATTACHED. THE FLASH POINT ALSO IS REDUCED. THIS PROBLEM COULD AFFECT ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING. THE DATE GIVEN IS THE DATE OF THE ATTACHED REPORT.

HONDA HAS OVER 19,000 MILES AND READ ABOUT GAS IN OIL. AS A FORMER MECH. I CHECKED DIPSTICK AND YEP, CAN SMELL GASOLINE IN OIL. CHECKED ANOTHER SUV I HAVE TO BE SURE NOT CRAZY AND GAS IS PRESENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR STREETS I HAVE SEVERAL PROBLEM LIGHTS. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, COLLISION MIGRATION PROBLEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MIGRATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND SOME DRIVE ASSIST SYSTEMS CANNOT OPERATE:RADAR OBSTRUCTED. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 10-12 TIMES FOR THESE ISSUES. DEALERSHIP HAS PUT ON A NEW CAMERA AND WIRING HARNESS AND THE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AFTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IF IT IS CLOUDY,RAINY, SUNNY, LINES ON THE ROADS AREN'T DARK ENOUGH, SHADOW FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE OR BUMPS MAY CAUSE THIS. SO IF IT ISN'T PERFECT WORLD, THIS WILL HAPPEN. THE FINAL SOLUTION LAST WEEK WAS TO TURN OFF 2 FUNCTIONS, THE LANE KEEP ASSIST AND THE COLLISION MIGRATION. I NOW HAVE A BASE LINE MODEL CAR BECAUSE I CAN'T USE ALL THE FUNCTIONS I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I DRIVE I75 EACH DAY AND 'WHEN' THIS HAPPENS,IT KICKS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. DEALERSHIP SAID A NEW MODEL WOULD NOT SOLVE THIS AS THE 2017,2018,AND 2019 HAVE THE SAME ELECTRONICS ALONG WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS OF CARS. NEED A PERMANENT FIX AS I AM AT THE POINT OF RETAINING A LAWYER. MULTIPLE DATES OF THIS HAPPENING

HONDA CR-V 2017 BOUGHT DECEMBER 23, 2017 FROM ZIMBRICK AUTO MADISON, WISCONSIN JULY 15, 2018 THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT START. WE HAVE A TOWING COMPANY HAULED IN FOR REPAIR. NOW, ON OCCASION THE CAR CABIN SMELLS GASSY. THE OIL FILLER CAP WHEN REMOVED ALSO HAS A VERY STRONG GASSY SMELL.

THERE IS GASOLINE DILUTING THE ENGINE OIL

DRIVING HIGHWAY 15 EAST TOWARD LAS VEGAS, NV. LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER "SHUTTER GRILLE PROBLEM - POWER REDUCED". VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AS THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED TO 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO PASS AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK DUE TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER. STOPPED AT NEARBY HONDA DEALER, SERVICE DEPT. WAS CLOSED, NEW CAR MANAGER SAID "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS CODE MEANS" AFTER SITTING FOR 15 MINUTES CODE RESET ITSELF ONLY TO COME BACK ON AFTER ANOTHER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. TEMPERATURE WAS 103 DEGREES OUTSIDE.WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN LAS VEGAS TO BE TOLD AGAIN "HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS CODE BEFORE". NO RESOLUTION - VERY DANGEROUS CONDTION TO LOOSE 50% OF ENGINE POWER ON THE FREEWAY.

I HAVE A STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS EARLY AFTER I START THE CAR AND WITHIN THE FIRST 2 OR 3 MILES OF DRIVING. IT IS CONCERNING BECAUSE THE SMELL OF GAS IS OVERWHELMING.

HAVE GAS IN MY OIL. DIPSTICK SHOWS OVER FILL.

I HAVE ONLY ABOUT 9700 MILES ON MY CRV BUT GASOLINE OR SOME FORM OF CONTAMINATION APPEARS TO BE FINDING THEIR WAY INTO THE OIL RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE OIL. THE OIL DIPSTICK READS BEYOND THE UPPER FILL LEVEL MARK. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION - POSSIBLY LEADING TO ABRUPT FAILURE ON THE ROAD.

2017 HONDA CR-V ENGINE OIL LEVEL RISING, WITHIN 2000 MILES OF DRIVING, PAST TOP OF ORANGE PLASTIC DIPSTICK WHICH WOULD INDICATE AN OIL LEVEL MORE THAN 1/2 QUART HIGH AFTER BEING FILLED CORRECTLY BY DEALER TO THE 3.7 QUART HIGH LEVEL MARK. THIS OIL DILUTION (MOST LIKELY WITH GASOLINE AS THE OIL IS NOT TURNING WHITE AS WHEN WATER ENTERS THE OIL) REDUCES THE VISCOSITY OF THE 0-20W OIL WHICH COULD LEAD TO ENGINE BEARING SURFACES SEIZING AT SOME INOPPORTUNE TIME. ORANGE PLASTIC DIPSTICK IS DIFFICULT TO READ AND OIL LEVEL SHOULD BE ONLY READ AFTER THE ENGINE IS STOPPED FOR THREE MINUTES PER THE MANUAL...GUESS WE NEED A STOPWATCH. COLD ENGINE OIL LEVELS ARE EVEN HIGHER. OWNERS MANUAL P559 SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE OIL SHOULD NOT BE OVERFILLED. OVERFILLING CAN CAUSE AERATION OF THE OIL, CAUSING OIL PUMPING PROBLEMS, OR REDUCING LUBRICATION OF BEARING SURFACES. HAVE TO CALL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, START CASE#, AND PLEAD FOR FREE EXTRA OIL CHANGES WHEN HIGH LEVEL IS OBVIOUS AFTER SEVERAL READINGS.

GASOLINE IS LEAKING IN TO THE OIL. OIL IS WAY ABOVE FULL MARK ON DIP STICK AND THE ODOR OF GASOLINE IS PRESENT. FIRST NOTICED WHAT APPEARED TO BE INCREASES IN OIL ON THE DIP STICK ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO.

OIL DILUTION. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY MY DEALER AND HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT GAS IS DILUTING THE OIL. THIS IS HAPPENING ABOUT EVERY 500 MILES IN WARM 70+ DEGREE WEATHER, BUT HAPPENS SOONER IN COLDER WEATHER. BECAUSE IT'S A PAIN TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE THE OIL AND FILTER, I HAVE ONLY BEEN DOING IT EVERY 500 MILES. I DO CHECK THE DIPSTICK EVERY SO OFTEN TO MONITOR THE FLUID LEVEL IN THE ENGINE.

GAS SMELL ON OIL DIP STICK, OIL LEVEL READING HIGHER THAN ORANGE MARKINGS, OIL BLACK AND WATERY

THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVELS. OIL LEVELS ARE UP TO 1 INCH ABOVE THE HIGHEST MEASURABLE LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK. I HAD THE OIL ANALYZED AND IT SHOWED >5% OIL DILUTION. CITY GAS MILEAGE IS 21-22 MPG -- WAY BELOW ADVERTISED MPG. SEE ATTACHMENTS.

AFTER STARTING UP THE CRV IN THE GARAGE, I EXITED IT AND CLIMBED A SHORT ~100' RAMP ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF 1 STORY AT 10 MPH OR LESS. DURING AT LEAST TWO TIMES IN THE PAST 7 MONTHS, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED WHILE CLIMBING THIS RAMP AND NEARED A STALL POINT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE IN MONTANA. AFTER APPLYING PRESSURE TO ACCELERATOR, SPUTTERING STOPPED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES AT STARTUP WHEN THE CENTRAL DISPLAY SCREEN FREEZES, REMAINS BLACK, DENYING NAVIGATION ASSISTANCE AMONG OTHER OPTIONS. IT APPEARS THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS IS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO STAY OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,478.

UPON STARTING MY 2017 HONDA CRV WHICH HAS THE 1.5L TURBOCHARGED ENGINE, I SMELL AN ODOR OF GASOLINE. THE GASOLINE ODOR IS ALSO PERCEIVED DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT.

I HAVE HAD THE HONDA SINCE NOV 2017 & HAVE HAD 2 SHUTTER RELEASE PROBLEMS-LOSS OF POWER‼️‼️ IT REDUCED 15 MILES AN HOUR GOING UP A HILL & KEPT REDUCING POWER.. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON A TWO WAY ROAD & GOTTEN INTO HEAD ON‼️‼️ TOOK IT TO DCH HONDA TEMECULA, CA & THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX & WANTED ME TO GO ON MY MERRY WAY‼️‼️ CALLED THEIR CORP. OFFICE, OPENED A CASE IT BUT THE CASE PERSON WOULD NOT TALK TO ME OR CALL ME BACK‼️‼️ I HAVE AN ARBITRATION CASE NOW SET UP WITH NCDS & HONDA.. HONDA IS NOT UNDER THE CA LENON LAW BUT WITH NCDS (NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT). THE HONDA PERSON ASSIGNED TO ARBITRATION CASE CALLED ME & TOLD ME I DON'T HAVE A CASE AS I ONLY TOOK IT IN 1 TIME. BUT, I CALLED DCH-HONDA TEMECULA, CA TO SET UP APPT TO GET THIS FIXED & THEY WOULDN'T CALL ME BACK FOR APPT.- AS THE CAN'T FIX IT‼️‼️ THIS CAR IS GOING TO CAUSE A DEATH & HONDA COULD CARE LESS, I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THAT DEATH STATISTIC‼️‼️ THE US DOES NOT NEED A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T STAND UP & ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS & FIX THEM‼️‼️😠 NOW "HIGH BEAM PROBLEM" IS COMING UP ON DASH‼️‼️ IT'S THE LEXUS GAS PETAL ISSUE - & THAT ENDED UP CAUSING 3 DEATHS‼️‼️

IT IS QUITE COMMON FOR THE AIRBAGS TO BE TURNED OFF FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT EVEN WHEN MY WIFE IS SITTING IN IT. WE HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO GET THEM TO COME ON. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THE ISSUE HAS EXISTED SINCE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED OIL DILUTION. WHEN THE CONTACT REMOVED THE OIL DIP STICK, THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. DURING ANOTHER OCCURRENCE, ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO LIMP MODE. FURTHERMORE, THE ABS ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING ON TWO OCCASIONS. ROSSI HONDA (1517 S DELSEA DRIVE, VINELAND, NEW JERSEY 08360, (856) 692-1700) DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS DILUTED WITH FUEL AND UPDATED THE VEHICLE'S SENSING SOFTWARE SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

OIL VOLUME INCREASES OVER TIME. OK SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE AND TURNS BLACK. HEATER BARELY WORKS IN THE WINTER. HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED MORE FREQUENT OIL CHANGES DUE TO FUEL DILUTION. HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE OIL CHANGES. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE ISSUE FROM MY HONDA DEALER.

MY CAR DEVELOPED THE GAS-IN-OIL PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON. TOOK TO DEALER, WHO OPENED A TICKET WITH HONDA. PROBLEM CONTINUES, NO FIX OFFERED YET. THIRD PARTY USED OIL ANALYSIS CONFIRMS THE PROBLEM.

PERIODIC GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, MOST NOTABLY WHEN IT IS VERY COLD. ALSO, HIGH OIL LEVEL WITH THE APPEARANCE OF GASOLINE MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL. TO DATE, VEHICLE HAS NOT STALLED OR LEFT ME STRANDED. COMPLAINT FILED WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND DEALER VISIT SCHEDULED TO EVALUATE.

2017 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MALFUNCTION TO DRIVER SIDE MIRROR DUE TO HEAT FROM REFLECTION OF THE SUN. *AS *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT START SUDDENLY AFTER BEING OFF AND NOT ON ACCESSORY MODE. WHEN VEHICLE WAS JUMP STARTED AND WHEN VEHICLE RESTARTED THE DASHBOARD READ MANY ERRORS AMONG THEM, BREAK SYSTEM ERROR, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER/DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND GET IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS ADVISED.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONED. WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK EVERYTHING WAS INTACT WITH THE GEAR SHIFT. I EXITED MY VEHICLE AND PRESSED THE LOCK ON MY KEY FAB. I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE THE NEXT EVENING TO MOVE IT (ALTERNATE SIDE STREET PARKING IN MY AREA). I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY FAB , REACHED FOR HANDLE OPENED DOOR GOT IN CAR. I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, THEN I PUT ON MY SEATBELT. I WENT TO PUT MY RIGHT HAND ON THE GEAR STICK THEN I WAS MOVING MY THUMB TO PRESS IN THE BUTTON TO SHIFT GEARS, IT WAS HOLLOW NO BUTTON WAS PRESENT IN THE GEAR STICK . I SCREAMED WHAT THE HELL AND STARTED LOOKING AROUND. THE BUTTON TO THE GEAR SHIFT IS ON THE FLOOR, I SAY OUT LOUD HOW THE HELL DID THAT COME OUT? THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE PUT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE OR ANYTHING. I CALLED FOR A TOW TO A HONDA SERVICE FACILITY. I KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE A DEFECTED GEAR SHIFT BECAUSE THAT BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT STICK SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO POP OUT ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH UNDER 6000 MILES ON IT. THAT PART SHOULD NEAR BE MADE POORLY BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS IF IT POPS OUT WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THE HONDA SERVICE PEOPLE CLAIM SOMEONE PRIED IT OFF., IMPOSSIBLE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN MARKS ON MY STICK AND THAT IS A VERY VERY THIN SPACE BETWEEN THE BUTTON INSERT AND THE GEAR SHIFT STICK ITSELF. I TOLD HONDA I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO DRIVES MY VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE IS WELL KEPT (CLEAN) INSIDE AND OUT . I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE, I AM STILL PAYING FOR IT. I BELIEVE ON MY VEHICLE THAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DISPLAY SCREEN MESSAGE APPEARED INDICATING A SECURITY SYSTEM FAILURE AND THAT THE TAILGATE DOOR WAS OPEN. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE TAILGATE DOOR WAS SECURED. NEXT, THE SENSOR ERRONEOUSLY INDICATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS AJAR. MOMENTS LATER, WHILE DRIVING, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ALTHOUGH NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE IN THE VICINITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (DNC HONDA, 28 COUNTY RD, TENAFLY, NJ 07670), BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE DUE TO THE CELL PHONE BEING USED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE BLUETOOTH WAS DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,600.

FOR THE SECOND TIME, AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE PARKED FOR 3-5 DAYS THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DRAINED AND UNABLE TO START THE ENGINE.

GEAR SHIFT RELEASE BUTTON BROKE INTO SEVERAL PIECES. UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK. CANNOT LEAVE IT IN A PUBLIC LOT WITH KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT WILL STILL SHIFT, BUT AFRAID IT WON'T AT ANY MOMENT SINCE SEVERAL OTHERS ON LINE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND INCLUDE PICTURES AND VIDEOS THAT MATCH MINE. I HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED SEVERAL TIMES AND LEFT MESSAGE AT DEALER. NO RETURN CALL YET.

CAR LEFT IN PARKING LOT FOR FOUR DAYS. CAR WOULD NOT CRANK OR START. BATTERY SERVICED BY AAA, JUMP STARTED SUCCESSFULLY. NO OBVIOUS CLAMPS, WIRE, ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. CAR EVALUATED AT HONDA BURLINGTON DEALER. NO PROBLEMS FOUND. NO CAUSE FOR BATTERY FAILURE GIVEN. SERVICE CLERK AT DEALERSHIP AND AAA BATTERY SERVICE PERSON INDEPENDENTLY SUGGESTED THAT CAR SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UNPROVEN FOR MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AS BATTERY FAILURE HAS BEEN FOUND, WITHOUT AN OBVIOUS CAUSE. EVIDENTLY HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN # 17-032 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE BUT NEITHER THE GENERAL HONDA CUSTOMER HOTLINE NOR THE BURLINGTON MASS DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WITH MY VEHICLE.

GEAR SHIFT LEVER ON CENTER CONSOLE HAS A SILVER BUTTON THAT MUST BE DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO MOVE GEARSHIFT. BUTTON DISINTEGRATED FROM THE INSIDE AND FELL OY, LEAVING GEAR SHIFT LEVER INOPERABLE. CLEAR A SAFETY HAZARD NOT TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE TO PARK, ETC. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, AND STATED THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY SEE ON A DAILY BASIS WITH THIS MODEL.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (20 TO 30 MPH) ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED NOISE. I WENT OUT OF THE CAR AND NOTICED THE SPLASH GUARD WAS ALMOST TOUCHING THE GROUND. LATER ON, I HAD SOMEONE REMOVE THE SPLASH GUARD, AND NOTICED SOME SCREWS WERE MISSING. THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, SO I PAID THE DEALERSHIP TO INSTALL A NEW SPLASH GUARD. I CALLED HONDA.COM SUPPORT NUMBER, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM PRETTY SURE MY CAR DID NOT HIT ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS A CLEAR STREET AND I WAS DRIVING SLOW. IT WAS NOT CLEAR TO ME WHY IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. A SIDE NOTE: ON THAT SAME DAY, THE BATTERY ALSO DIED EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS JUST A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR OLD. THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP DID REPLACE THE BATTERY FOR ME FOR FREE. IT WAS FRUSTRATING TO GET STUCK SOMEWHERE WITH TWO CAR ISSUES AT THE SAME TIME FOR A RELATIVELY NEW CAR.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, WHICH LASTED A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND WENT AWAY. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WE NOTICED THE SMELL AGAIN. I CHECKED THE FUEL FILL TUBE BUT FOUND NO PROBLEM THERE. I ALSO CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND DETECTED A FUEL SMELL BUT SAW NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK. WHILE UNDER THE HOOD I CHECKED THE OIL AND SMELLED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE OIL. THE FLUID LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK WAS 7/8' ABOVE FULL LEVEL. I CHECKED AND DOUBLE CHECKED THE LEVELS AND SMELL AND THERE WAS DEFINITELY GASOLINE IN THE OIL. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP (JOHNSON CITY HONDA IN JOHNSON CITY, TN) AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 1.5L ENGINE WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND SHOULD BE 'DRIVEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY TO 'BURN OFF' THE FUEL IN THE OIL'! (WE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A 750 MILE INTERSTATE TRIP).THEY DID CHANGE THE OIL BUT THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN THE OIL LEVEL HAS INCREASED TO ' ABOVE FULL LEVEL AND THE FUEL SMELL IS PRESENT. IN MY OPINION, GASOLINE IN THE OIL PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT IT CAN IGNITE UNDER EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS AND CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY ISSUES WITH PASSENGERS WHEN THE SMELL MIGRATES TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT HONDA HAS RECALLED APPROXIMATELY 350,000 OF THESE VEHICLES IN THE ASIAN MARKET, BUT THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN THE U.S.

SHIFTER KNOB EXPLODED UNABLE TO SHIFT REVERSE, DRIVE, PARK DEALER ABLE TO FIX, REPLACED KNOB SAID THEY SEE THIS EVERYDAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT WAS REAR ENDED AND CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS FAILED TO WORK AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IMPACT CAUSED THE PASSENGER TO BE THROWN FORWARD DUE TO THE SEAT BELT FAILING TO SECURELY RESTRAIN HER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BACK FRACTURED. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO THROWN FORWARD AND HIS CHEST MADE CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE BACK AND PELVIS. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BACK INJURY. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE SHIFTER BUTTON ON THE LEFT THAT YOU HAVE TO PRESS TO CHANGE GEARS BROKE AND POPPED OUT. CANNOT ENGAGE THE SHIFTER TO CHANGE FROM DIFFERENT GEARS UNLESS YOU MANUALLY PRESS THE MECHANISM INSIDE DOWN. HUGE PROBLEM. HAPPENED WHEN WE CAME HOME AND WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. BUTTON BROKE AND POPPED OUT WHILE STILL IN DRIVE.

I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE ON 8/18/2018. I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. WE WENT ON VACATION FOR 2 WEEKS. ON 9/3/18 WE RETURNED AND WE COULD NOT START THE CAR. THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AS IT WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. I RESEARCHED ON CRV FORUM AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWING PROBLEM WITH BATTERY SLOW DRAINAGE DUE TO SOFTWARE AND/OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

IN RAIN STORM DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AT NIGHT ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT THEN BACK ON THEN OUT AGAIN SEVERAL MORE TIMES. I WAS SO DISTRACTED I JUST ABOUT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I THINK THE HEAD LIGHTS MY HAVE GONE OFF AND ON ALSO, BUT I AM NOT SURE AS I WAS SO DISTRACTED BY THE DASH LIGHTS PROBLEM.

FUEL IN OIL. STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE, WATERY OIL, INCREASING LEVELS OF OIL AFTER OIL CHANGE.

PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 2017. INSTUMENT CLUSTER HAS MALUNCTIONED X 4 SINCE THEN. TWICE JUST TOTALLY GOING BLACK WHILE DRIVING. TWICE CERTAIN ALARMS ARE INDICATED (LKAS,ACC, CMBS, ETC.) THESE LAST TWO REQUIRED VEHICLE CAMERA REPLACMENT. ENTIRE INSTUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2017. BRAKING: THIS VEHICLE HAS APPLIED IT'S BRAKES AT SUDDEN AND THE MOST INAPPRORIATE TIMES. JULY 2017 ON A FOUR LANE HWY BY MYSELF, NO OTHER VEHICLE, BRAKE ALARMS LIT UP ON INSTUMENT CLUSTER AND CAR RAPIDLY DECLERATED FROM 50 TO 20 MPH BEFORE BRAKE ALARM AND BRAKES DISENGAGED. WHEN SLOWING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AT APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 CAR LENGTHS FROM VEHICLE AND GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 - 5 MPH, CRV BRAKE ALARM LIT UP WITH SUBSEQUENT PANIC STOP BRAKING APPLIED. CRV'S ACC SYSTEM BRAKES THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING ANOTHER PARKED OR DISABLED VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT EMERGENCY STOP LANE OR IS TURNING RIGHT AND IS PERHAPS 20-30 FEET DOWN THE RIGHT HAND ROAD. THIS OCCURS AW WELL WHEN ACC IS ENGAGED AND I AM IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE AND OVERTAKING A VEHICLE TO MY RIGHT. THE DEALER TELLS ME THEY CAN FIND NO ERROR CODES NOR DO THEY HAVE ANY DATA OF THESE SYMPTOMS FROM HONDA AMERICA. BRAKING DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. BUT WHEN IT DOES IT'S SURPRISING AND SCARY. IT SEEMS TO ME WITH ALL THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE CONCERNING THIS SAME PROBLEM, PERHAPS AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

OIL IS GETTING DILUTED WITH GAS AND YOU CAN SMELL GAS FUMES IN THE CABIN MAKING THE CR-V UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 35-40 MPH, THE SHIFT BUTTON POPPED OUT AND THE SHIFTER SHAFT FRACTURED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORR HONDA OF HOT SPRINGS (4701 CENTRAL AVE, HOT SPRINGS, AR 71913, 501-525-4565) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REALIGNED WITH NEW TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 08949491. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,100. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AS I WAS LEAVING THIS MORNING I HEARD SOMETHING CRACK AND FALL. I DIDN'T LOOK DOWN TO SEE WHAT IT WAS SINCE THE CAR MOVED INTO D WITH NO PROBLEM AND I DROVE TO WORK. WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO PARK (STOPPED) I LOOKED OVER AND NOTICED THE BUTTON YOU PUSH TO SELECT GEARS WAS MISSING I ONLY SAW A SPRING. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW IT HAD FALLEN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO USE IT TO PUSH IN AND CHANGE GEARS, BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO SHUT IT OFF PROPERLY WITHOUT EFFORT WHEN STATIONARY.

ON MONDAY, 8-20-18, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM CAUSED THE CAR TO SLAM ON IT'S BRAKES. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS ANYWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLE. IN THE PAST, THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS LIT UP BEFORE WITH NO VEHICLES AROUND, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE, THEN PRINTED OUT A BUNCH OF PAPERS FOR ME EXPLAINING HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS, WHICH IS BASICALLY SAYING IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND US. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
