2017 Honda CR-V complaints

Car is parked in front of the house no one has touch the vehicle. The car suddenly started the alarm, had to turn it off. Later on during the day I went to turn the vehicle on and it wont turn off after. I had to search for the fuel pump fuse and remove that to turn off the car.

For about six months my service lights have been lighting up. For the same amount of time I have noticed that my car begins to "stink" after running for a minute or two. I took it into the dealership and the service advisor states that I have three of four fuel injectors that have failed. I asked the service advisor about the warranty and she states those are not under warranty. I have researched this issue and have found that many many people have had problems with their fuel injectors and Honda will not replace them under warranty. I am sending this complaint because I feel that this issue should be covered under a recall warranty, since it has been noted in other models that the fuel injectors were recalled and repaired. Please help.

Parasitic battery drain affects my 2017 Honda CR-V. If the vehicle is dormant for just a few days, the battery drains completely and requires a jump start. I am on my fourth battery since purchasing the vehicle new in March 2017, and have also had the starter replaced when my garage could not identify the issue. When the battery is completely dead as I described, the key fob will not open the doors, and you must enter the vehicle by using the physical key located inside the fob. All doors must be opened manually, and the trunk liftgate (where one typically keeps jumper cables or battery booster pack) does not function, rendering access to the rear seats and trunk very difficult. When a jump is successful, all of the safety systems reset and warning indicators do not disappear until the car is driven for several minutes. Honda has an electrical problem or is using batteries that are too small for their vehicles. I wouldn’t expect a car that has been sitting for months at a time to start on the first try, but a few days (even a long weekend would be an issue) is unacceptable.

All of my warning lights are on. The above checklist only lets me pick 3 items total but every warning light is on. Brake hold system, power steering, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, road departure, electric parking brake, tpm, emission system problem, all wheel drive system. My car has went from driving 70mph on the highway to suddenly going to 10-20 mph! Super dangerous and this has happened 2 times. First time in March 24’ and again May 24’. The reset resolved it briefly but it returned again and again. Now all lights are on and it scares me to drive on the interstate because I don’t know when it will happen again. My safety features do not work on my car when the lights are on. I have had the codes checked and reset 2 times. Codes P0172 & P0303 were a couple codes it shows.

While I am driving a cascade of warning lights signal on my dashboard. Alarms trigger causing a distraction.

Steering component locks up causing the vehicle to become slightly difficult to make turns and I get clicking sounds from steering column took vehicle to get fixed at independent service center they installed new rack and pinion plus other parts and with labor cost over four thousand dollars paper invoice available upon request I’ve owned Honda 2017 crv lx since 2017 which I bought new. Problem started in the beginning of May of 2024. No warming lights messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the start of problem.

The issue involves the steering of the vehicle at highway speeds. The steering gets stuck going straight and requires more force than usual to steer the vehicle. It feels like the straight line steering is stuck in position and then it suddenly gives way. This happens on most highway journeys at the moment between 50 and 70 mph. Because extra force is needed to push the steering out of the straight line position, it is possible to push too hard and change position in the lane without intending too. This then needs to be corrected. I noticed this one time before and took my vehicle in to Honda but they were not able to rectify. It is now happening much more frequently.

2017 Honda CRV, mileage on 1 Dec 2023 (44498).The passenger air bag warning light fails to to 'OFF' when a 112 pound person sits on the front seat. Auto dealer inspected the device on Dec 1, 2023 and re-initialized the seat weight sensor to factory parameters and advised it now tests ok. During Jan - June 2024, the warning light began to operate improperly. Auto dealer inspected the system on August 24 and determined the passenger front seat weight sensor reading was inaccurate and advised the entire seat frame with weight sensors be replaced. Returned to the auto dealer on June 18 to have the entire seat and weight sensors replaced to correct the issue. Current Mileage: 48692 on June 24, 2024. Cost to customer: Parts & Labor: $1558.78 The vehicle is not covered by a factory warranty, however, it would seem that an issue with an air bag should be considered as a recall, since the only person using the car was the driver, since we had no confidence that the passenger air bag system would work if there was an incident that required it to be deployed. We have to use a second vehicle whenever we travel with more that one person in the car.

All dashboard lights come on occasionally, since 40k miles. Car now has 70k. I've had it serviced regularly and battery replaced, nothing seems to work on preventing this from happening. Dangerous if system is reading that there is an issue when there is not, and it affects performance of the vehicle until they turn off on there own. Happens anywhere between 50 and +500 miles, no rhyme or reason outside of possibly linked to remote starter, which tends to more consistently occur when using.

Multiple warning/error messages are being displayed on the dashboard.

My car’s automatic emergency braking system engaged at about 35 mph without cause. It was a very hard, abrupt almost full stop. I will report to my Honda dealer on Monday when they open. The car behind me was able to stop but was very angry. Thankfully he was not tailgating or we would have had an accident The car has done this before but not as severely and didn’t brake as hard, more of a slow down.

I recently visited Honda dealership ( Honda of Chantilly, Chantilly, VA - 20151). I would like to report the findings for further guidance. All warning signs on my 2017 Honda CRV turning on while driving on the high way. These signs come and go often. So, I took the SUV to the dealership for the diagnosis. Dealer found the issue and the diagnosis code was P0172 (Fuel System too rich). Later I figured that this code is reported under recall/extended service with clear detail ( Honda Service Bulletin 19-037). I reported the findings with doc to the Honda Manufacturer and dealer but their response was that my Vin is not impacted. So, they denied to fix the issue. However, my car has the same issue with diagnostic code which was performed by dealer.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The transmission, brakes, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 56,300.

All warning lights are active on the dash touch screen and the IP. The warning is audible and visual and cycling rapidly and very annoying. Dangerous when driving as a distraction making driving after dark very dangerous. This is the second time in a year this same problem has happened. We are the original owners of the car bought from Art Mohen Honda in Jackson Michigan in 2017. The first incident was intermittent and the touch screen would clear. unrelated to the computer problem we we in a collision and during the repair process the car was taken to Art Mohen Honda and faults were cleared on the computer. This lasted 7 months and now the computer is in complete fault as described above.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 40–45 MPH, the parking brake activated independent of driver input. The contact stated that the vehicle violently jolted forward. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

Fuel pump failure caused an engine stall while driving twice.

All warning lights have been illuminated for several months. On occassion will turn off, but only for 1-2 days then back on again for another few weeks. After on-line research learned this is a very common problem for this make/model/year that Honda is not acknowledging as an issue. Honda dealer service technician diagnosed what I already knew that car needs new fuel injectors. Most safety features and cruise control do not function as a result. Parts are on backorder.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the steering wheel seized, and was difficult to maneuver. The contact stated that the failure recurred consistently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with rack and pinion failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V663000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Have dealt with oil dilution the life of this vehicle, around 63K miles all lights lit up in the dash disabling ALL safety features. For a while this issue would come and go and the lights would clear,CEL included. Brought into Honda for a diagnosis and they state that the vehicle needs new fuel injectors. Due to the CEL from the fuel Injectors it disables ALL safety features therefore putting the driver and others on the road at risk.

Two times today the infotainment screen goes black and starts beeping like crazy. You have to pull off the road, turn the car off and then reset this. The beeping noise is so annoying you have no choice but to pull over. Dealer said no fix. Why can’t Honda fix their problems. Many other Hondas are having the same problem. I will submit this form every time this happens, which seems to be daily now.

Again this happened, driving at 38 mph the braking system activated without warning and slammed us into the seat belts. This is happening way to often and now my wife refuses to drive the car.

Stranded over the years of the cars life with multiple dead batteries. Most recent after stranded with car that wouldn’t start had it replaced and car electrical system randomly went off triggering alarm and draining battery. The amps were way over Honda standard being drawn from the battery. After couple trips to dealer it was the bcm that needed replacing with only 56,000 miles on the car.

Hi. During the drive. My car's all warning light that include break light and engine light and tire pressure light. And I check everything is find. Then I go to the dealer to fix it. The dealer said everything is fine. The can't do anything. They just clear the code. But the next week, it happened again. I also do research this issue at internet. This issue is not unique in U.S. please help us to let honda to be concerned this issue. thank you.

Since I have owned this car bought in 2017 the info screen randomly turns black and beeps. You cannot tell at that is going on with the car. You can’t adjust the heat, defroster or the radio. This has happened hundreds of times. Honda says they have no fix. I read you have to pull over turn the car off, than start it up and hold the volume button down on the radio until it asks you to reboot the system. Ridiculous, I’ve never had a car with so many problems.

When exiting car sound is heard that car is locked. Then same sound is heard again seconds later. I have DroneMobile app on phone so I checked status & found car reopened. I have had DroneMobile was installed in 2018 or 2019. It happens all the time as far as I can tell. The 2nd fob is in my house & not near car. Hard to know if anything will be secure in car or safe to enter. Could this have happened after car software update?

On April 27 suddenly, without prior warning or indication, all dashboard warning lights and all system alerts went off simultaneously. My Honda dealer confirmed today the issue is the fuel injectors. All 4 injectors failed the fuel ratio test. They quoted $2,000 to fix. I negotiated the price down to $1700 as I am just 4K miles out of manufacturer warranty. This injector issue disables KEY safety features of the CR-V's when it occurs. An injector issue should NOT cause safety features of the CR-V to stop working (ex. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, TPS, Hill Start Assist, Braking, etc...)

While driving at about 35 miles per hour, with no traffic or obstructions ahead of me, the automatic braking system rapidly decreased my vehicle speed to about 5 miles per hour, then disengaged and the vehicle operated normally.

Recurring parasitic battery draw down to below normal level to start vehicle. Have replaced battery 3 times in less than a year. After many trips to the dealer about the same issue. Honda dealership charged me $500.00 for a diagnostic. Rv has an Electrical problem on the engine along with Dash Board. They are charging more than $6,000.00 for repairs with uncertainty that issue will be solve. My CRV has 37,000 miles which is still new. Noticed same problem reported in Internet forums. Google “2017 CRV battery problem” for more examples reported by other CRV vehicle owners. I believe that this problem is an extensive one that affects many owners and should be determined to be a safety recall issue. Now I have no confidence in the safety of the vehicle and won’t be driving it at night so as to avoid the possibility of being left stranded away from home.

My car went into the limp mode when I was driving and would only go 7 to 8 miles per hour. This is a big safety hazard. Had I been on the freeway and not near my home, it could have easily caused an accident.I had it towed to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong and said it was probably Bad gas. Prior to this, several lights had come on the dash stating that all of the systems in the car were not working. They also could not tell me why that was happening. It seems now that I find out that Honda CRVs made in the year 2017 have bad fuel injectors. I'm having to get that replaced. I'm not sure if that's what caused the car to go into the limp mode.

Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Honda CRV Fuel Injector Issue Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Team, I am writing to urgently report a safety concern regarding my Honda CRV, and to request a recall and replacement of the fuel injector system. Recently, my Honda CRV experienced a series of warning lights illuminated on the dashboard display. Upon diagnostic examination at an authorized Honda dealership, it was determined that the issue stems from a malfunctioning fuel injector. Prior to this diagnosis, my vehicle was involved in two alarming incidents where its speed became uncontrollable, despite my efforts to apply the accelerator pedal. The first incident fortunately did not result in an accident due to sparse traffic conditions. However, during the second incident, the vehicle behind me was forced to perform an emergency brake maneuver, narrowly averting a potentially catastrophic collision. These incidents highlight a critical safety hazard that poses a significant risk to both myself and other road users. As a concerned member of the community, I strongly urge NHTSA to initiate a recall of all affected Honda CRV vehicles and implement a comprehensive replacement program for the fuel injector system. Addressing this issue promptly is crucial to preventing future accidents and ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await your swift action and resolution of this pressing concern. S

I was driving my Honda CRV on a 4 lane highway (2 lanes in each direction) on a clear and sunny day ([XXX]) at approximately 45-50 mph. I had no traffic ahead of me, but cars behind me, when my vehicle slammed on its brakes and dropped my speed to approximately 5 mph. I did hear the beep and saw the "brake" warning statement on my dash display. It released the brakes after the decrease in speed (to approximately 5 mph) and I continued to drive home without any further problems. I'm very fortunate that I didn't get rear ended. I phoned my Honda service adviser and made her aware of the problem (West Herr Honda of Lockport, NY). My vehicle is in excellent condition and has never been in any accidents.

All the following safety systems were getting failed lights on vehicle: - Adaptive Cruise control​ - Collision Mitigation​ - Road Departure Mitigation​ - Vehicle Stability Assist​ - Hill Start Assist​ - Electric Parking Brake​ - Tire Pressure Monitoring. We were replacing the battery thinking it was a battery issue as it was diagnosed prior. Took it to dealer and they confirmed fuel injectors had failed and needed to be replaced at 81K miles.

Driving on the highway at 65-70 MPH from Buffalo on [XXX] - so there was heavy traffic. Engine started to run rough, then the warning system showed almost all of the errors on the dash, including TPM, collision avoidance, lane alert, etc. Then the car could only go about 25 MPH, so had to pull off to the side (luckily) and turned off car to restart since that has worked before. This time it did not work, so had to drive about 1 mile to next exit on the side of the road and call for a tow from Erie to Pittsburgh. This has happened before when trying to accelerate from an ramp to the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving in a 4 lane road up a slight grade my CRV abruptly stopped using automatic emergency braking in front of a metal plate laying in the road the was covering up some construction. I started driving again and the car again stopped abruptly several feet later at another metal plate.

3 times this has happened now the latest incident today 4-19-2024. I’m driving along and then all of a sudden the car goes into hard braking mode and the emergency braking light comes on the dashboard. Twice I have almost been rear ended because of this problem. No cars are in front of me at the time. I feel the automatic braking system was not designed correctly. I hope no one gets into an accident because of this defect. This is the last Honda I will ever own.

My 2017 Honda CR-V decided to brake all by itself while driving on the highway going 65 mph. This incident first happened to me in May 2023 on a clear sunny day with my 1 month old baby and fiancé in the car. My fiancé thought I slammed on the brakes but in fact I did not, I was on the highway going 65mph. I was so scared because I didn’t even know my car was capable of braking on its own until that day. Everything in the vehicle flew to the front of the car, luckily no one was behind me or in front of me at that time and we were all okay but we were shaken up. The second time it happened, I was with my fiancé again on a backroad about a month later with no one in front of me or behind me, again on a clear day and my car slammed on the brakes by its own. From that second time on I always turn off my collision mitigation system hoping it makes a difference and does not do it again. I love my car but it is a complete hazard if it brakes on its own with no warning prior to it happening. I did call Honda to see if this was an issue or if there was a recall but the lady told me there is no recall at this time and this was the second time she has heard of this. I do not know what will cause the car to brake on its own, I can’t replicate it on demand, it is very random. I made sure my sensors were not obstructed and were clear. Hopefully Honda will do something about this issue, this is completely unacceptable.

There have been a few instances in which the emergency breaking system activated based on false positives. Examples include certain overhead highway signs (one in particular is a regular trigger in a certain lane of a certain road in my area) as well as dips in the road or construction areas or the bottom of hills, in which the sensor presumably reads the upcoming hill as an actual instruction. In one of these instances a car behind me locked up the brakes to avoid hitting me as my car applied the brakes unnecessarily. These issues have occurred repeatedly and are often able to be reproduced.

All driver assistance functions (Adaptive Cruise, Automatic Emergency Braking, Collision Warning, Lane Departure, Lane Keep Assist, and probably the Blind Spot Warning too) failed simultaneously, as indicated by warning lights and messages on the instrument panel. (Also failing were the Brake Hold function, and the parking brake, and the brake failure light was also illuminated, though the brakes did appear to function.) (The Check Engine Light also illuminated, though the engine continued to operate.) The root cause of the failure (as determined by the dealer) was failed fuel injectors causing the engine to run too rich. Yes, it is odd that failed fuel injectors cause a complete and total failure of the driver assistance features, but apparently this is not an uncommon failure mode for this particular problem on this model of engine.

I own a 2017 Honda CRV and my complaint is various warning lights such as the brake system, lane departure, ACC & forward collision warning illuminated on the dash with the dashboard. There are MANY other Honda consumers who have faced/facing similar instances. I have attended to reboot the system three times to clear these messages. A new battery was installed June 2023.

I was driving my Honda CRV 2017 on I-65 in Birmingham - Montgomery area in Alabama in March 2024 and suddenly in the middle of the busy highway the vehicle stalled and wouldn’t drive even after stepping on the accelerator a little harder. I then turned on my emergency lights to signal to the behind vehicles that I have and emergency situation became I was in the middle of a busy highway and the vehicle simply wouldn’t drive. I managed to pull aside of the highway and turned the engine off because I didn’t know what the issue was. After a few minutes I started the vehicle again and drove a few miles and the vehicle stalled again. After a couple of repeated cycle, I got the vehicle to a nearby Honda dealership for diagnostic testing which later revealed that the fuel injectors, the head gasket, the turbo system etc were causing the vehicle to stall. The vehicle is currently not drivable and has since been with the Honda dealership as I am writing. With taxes, the dealership is charging me approximately $5000 USD to fix this problem, money that I cannot afford. Not knowing what to do, I did a brief research to see if anyone else has experienced this issue before and I found out in the consumer report that other drivers have actually experienced exactly the same issue that happened to my vehicle. I currently do not have any additional vehicle for commuting and I am forced to use rented vehicles with the rental cost accumulating on the daily basis while my vehicle remains with the

The vehicle randomly starts FLASHING every warning message across the info screen, All steering and cruise functions become disabled. No codes when scanned, can't reset the displaty warnings but clears on its own sometimes, then comes back randonmly. Dealer has been no help and cant fix. Warning that display are: COLLISION ITIGATION SYSTEM, ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE PROBLE< STEERING PROBLEM and more.

The fuel injectors are the issue with this Honda. When driving with these injectors and they go bad the vehicles braking system, lane assist, and Vehicle stability goes out. I have had my vehicle serviced (no injectors available to fix issue at this moment) by a Honda dealership since every warning and check engine light was on. Honda is aware of this issue but fails to recall the injectors. No repair invoice yet however it is a $2,500 fix when the parts are available from backorder.

Gasoline leaked past fuel injectors and diluted the oil. Fuel injectors and spark plugs have had to be replaced with OEM parts. The problem has been confirmed by an official Honda dealership and by an independent service center. This issue has been repaired twice by a mechanic and has happened a third time. When the issue appeared, check engine light, parking brake, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, forward collision warning lights have turned on. Car disables adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and forward collision detection when issue occurs. The attached file shows the first incident and first inspection at 82,200 miles. The second incident occurred at 103,000. This second incident was the exact same issue.

Sticky steering while driving moderate to highway speeds while driving straight. Steering is not smooth as turn slightly from neutral straight position to keep staight driving line. Not noticeable whenever turn back and forth on corners. Stickiness only noticed while trying drive straight

Since I have purchased this vehicle in 2017, there have been numerous 'random' occasions while I am driving and the car's dashboard will flash "BRAKE"3X or "BRAKE" 3X with the warning beeps...these occasions have occurred while driving at speed over 50mph but there was no vehicle or object in front of me. Twice, I have been driving and the car has flashed "BRAKE"3x and beeped and applied the emergency brakes---but there was nothing in front of my car & thank goodness there was no one behind either. I don't know why it does it at random times, maybe it's the way the sun beams on the car, just at the right angle, to alert the brake system. Either way, it's caused me to use extra caution and turn off the Automatic Break System every time I enter the car ( If I remember) I am available for inspection upon request. I've read articles online about this problem with the Honda CRV 2017.

Multiple times my vehicle has flashed "BRAKE" when there was no object in front of me. At times there were shadows from trees that I thought may have prompted the warning. But in the past 6 weeks during interstate driving and adaptive cruise control engaged, the vehicle brakes for no reason. This can happen several times in just a short distance, or sometimes I can drive 25 miles and it doesn't happen at all. There is no rhyme or reason to the frequency. Most of the time it drops the speed about 5 MPH but keeps the cruise engaged at that new speed. I have never let it drop more than 15 MPH for fear of causing an issue with other drivers. This past week it applied the brakes just as a semi truck moved into my lane behind me at a close distance. I was afraid the truck would rear-end me. I have received the following warnings in the instrument panel: "Road departure mitigation system problem", "Collision mitigation system problem", and "Adaptive cruise control problem. My husband took pictures of the warnings as they appeared while I was driving. Honda diagnostics could not identify even one code.

While driving on the highway, the car abrutly slowed down to 25 mph and all of the lights on the dash lit up. Fortunately, I was able to pull over to the side of the highway and avoid an accident. Upon taking the car to the dealership, they stated that the car required new fuel injectors. Prior to this incident, there were no indications of any issues with the car.

The automatic emergency braking system activated unnecessarily. While pulling up to a light, I was preparing to apply the brakes when my car suddenly came to an immediate stop. The brake light flashed and the car came to a halt. It stopped so abruptly that I was concerned that I had been rear-ended. My passenger in the back seat got out of the car to check with the car behind me. No contact had been made with the car behind me. This event has not occurred previously or since as I have turned off the emergency braking system.

All the warning lights on my dashboard lit up one day with no warning. I took it to the dealer and they determined that the fuel injectors were bad.

The infotainment systems is failing. Volume knob does not change volume correctly, CarPlay goes in and out, chronic infotainment beeping occurs, infotainment system changes source without input. This creates distractions while driving. It was taken to Honda however they reported no fix for this at this time but mentioned a potential recall on the way due to other drivers experiencing similar issues.
