2018 Honda CR-V complaints

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the sun visors on the driver’s and passenger’s side fell. The contact stated that the failure distracted him while driving. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was confirmed, and the contact was provided an estimate to replace the sun visors. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that after waking up, she became aware that all the windows and the sunroof were opened. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that it was a common failure with the year, make, and model vehicle. Additionally, the contact was informed that an unknown control module was malfunctioning. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

Within the last 2 months the car began to run rough. We added fuel injector cleaner to no avail. After some time, the computer system went berserk - every system in the car was informing us that it had a problem (ie lane keep assist, lane departure warning, collision mitigation braking system, vehicle stability assist , electric power steering etc) along with continued rough engine performance. We took the vehicle to a local Honda dealership repair shop and were eventually informed that the fuel injectors were faulty and need to be replaced. We requested that they order a set of injectors for us a month ago and are still waiting delivery of these back-ordered parts A phone call recently to the parts department of another dealer turned up with non-availability there as well The fact that these parts are in such demand along with the continued poor performance of our vehicle suggests that there may be some sort of widespread problem with this model of vehicle The constant alerts about system failures accompanied by warning chimes are a major distraction while driving. If a real problem occurs involving one of these systems, we won’t know about it since they are all “screaming “ at us about their impending failure While bad fuel injectors are not a direct safety hazard, the resulting systems problem can be seen as somewhat hazardous

An issue with my 2018 Honda CRV was diagnosed as requiring the Steering Gearbox to be replaced. Although my CRV has less than 36,000 miles I have owned it for over 3 years so this issue is no longer covered under warranty. After the diagnosis I discovered that this part was included in a safety recall (Honda Service Bulletin 18-103, recall #'s C2N, P2O). Unfortunately, my VIN was not included in this recall even though the model is the same as those involved in the recall and a Honda dealer diagnosed this as the problem with my car. I am asking that my VIN be added to the recall so that I don't have to pay the $3,000 quoted by the dealer to make the replacement that other vehicles are having done at no charge.

When driving on a two lane road with no other cars around and traveling at 45 mph the car emergency brake heads up display light was displayed and braked in an unsafe, unpreventable manner to 10mph before allowing us to continue driving after manually breaking and applying speed again. This is now the third time this has happened this year and it's unsafe.

Three years into owning the vehicle the spark plugs were misfiring. When replacing them finding the ceramic part of the plugs were cracking. I replaced all plugs and coils and was good for only about six months. Same thing happened and progressively got worse and in shorter time between all the mis firing codes and engine stumbling and not driving over twenty mile per hour. Now I am at a point where it has become a monthly issue and have been through approximately thirty replaced spark plugs and on the third set of ignition coils. Apparently there is an extended warranty for this issue and for the past visits the dealership says they fixed the recalls and don’t see any other issues. I am taking it to the dealership again and getting it in writing this time. I want the company to fix the resin for the spark plugs consistently misfiring and address why is it progressively getting worse. I find it funny Honda recognizes something is coursing this by extending the warranty and making it unlimited miles to cover the coast of the repairs stated in the letter of these problems but haven’t stated or fixed what’s causing it. I will follow up with the next visit to the dealership with any results. I do believe this is a dated issue for the fact that is been a number of time where the all the dates features on the vehicle shut down and engine stops accelerating at times I was traveling on highways at highway speeds as well as in traffic. Thanks Dan

Display screen regularly & unexpectedly malfunctions while the vehicle is in motion. During these times, the display screen dims, goes dark, freezes, or goes into full bright mode. This continues throughout a cycle until the can can be stopped & restarted. Also, the windshield continues to crack along the base from side to side without any noticeable damages prior & I continue to have it replaced.

Vehicle was stuttering when accelerating, usually when cold. This is unsafe since someone behind me could have run into the rear of my car if they weren't paying attention. I took into dealership and they found errors and had to replace the fuel injectors. Vehicle only had 78556 miles and was no longer covered by warranty.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became uncontrollable. The contact stated that while attempting to steer to the left, the vehicle failed to respond as needed and instead turned in the opposite direction. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Fuel pump stopped working. While driving, I pressed down the gas and car stopped working.

While I was driving, the vehicle suddenly braked and I did not hit the brake pedal. There was no one in front of me and thankfully, no one behind me. I had 2 other people in the car with me.

The steering wheel jerks while driving. Bring it to get repaired as soon as possibly. Do not have a receipt yet.

Vehicle AC is not blowing as cold as it was or should be, was a gradual decline over a 1 - 2 month period.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering assist. Additionally, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V663000 (Steering). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the rack and pinion and the electric steering gear box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

My car's fuel pump system quit working without warning or noticed. My car stalled in an intersection and caused serious concern for my safety. Honda has a safety recall for other Honda CRV 2018 vehicles but not my vin number. My car only has 54,000 miles on it and it is very odd that this recall is the same problem I'm having. "Fuel pump inoperability could prevent an engine from starting or stall an engine while driving, increasing the risk of a crash"

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle made an abrupt stop. The contact was unsure if there were any warning light illuminated. The contact stated that after several minutes the vehicle started operating normally. The dealer was contacted and stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated there was no recalls for the failure and provided not additional assistance. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Reporting an old incident as it matches an issue with the current open investigation on the Emergency Collision Brake system in the Honda CR-V line. Was driving down the highway unobstructed, no vehicles in front of me but had vehicles a fair distance behind me. Emergency forward collision system engaged with no warning, with zero obstructions, and stopped my vehicle on a dime. Had the cars behind me been closer, there would have been a collision into the back of my vehicle. Vehicle was inspected by a local Honda dealership and a cause was not found, but brake booster was replaced as a precaution under warranty.

I completed an oil change on Saturday May 13, 2023 with Morehead Honda, Newburgh NY. On May 14, 2023, while operating my 2018 Honda CRV all the lights for the ADAS illuminated on the dash board of the vehicle and continued to cycle through continously. The lights are as follow: hill start problems, collision mitigation problems, brake system problems, power steering problems, VSA problems, steering problems, TPMS problem. Brake hold problems, adaptive cruise problems, electrical brake problems, brake hold system problems, road mitigation problems, emissions system problems and power steering problems I returned the vehicle to Morehead Honda dealership and a diagnostic was performed. The diagnostic results were excessive fluid to injector and excessive air to brake which involves the compressor and the fuel injector. This is a clear manufacturer defect which is a safety issue. I also conducted a query on the NHSTA and there are recalls listed for issue for 2018 Honda CRVs, however my vehicle VIN was not included.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. Additionally, the brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

At highway speeds with the lane assist off the steering will fight you to return to center after steering on a corner. It feels like the steering could stay locked causing an accident not having full control of the steering. The car starting having issues around 55,000 miles.

The rack and pinion steering box was beginning to fail. Vehicle would steering would lock into steering toward the left or right requiring a slight pull back to right the direction. With this pull there was a noticeable clicking sound. This issue was progressively getting worse necessitating a complete replacement of the rack and pinion steering box. The vehicle in question has 43, 700 miles.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was inadvertently pulling to the right. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to turn the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced; however, the replacement part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

All the warning lights come on at random times for all these components: Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Parking Collision Warning Rear Cross Traffic Warning And the "ding, ding, ding" noise when the door is open also starts dinging. This has kept happening since we changed the battery last year. I have researched this issue on the internet and there are many CRV owners in the same situation. Some taken their vehicle into the dealerships and have paid thousands for "fixes" that don't work. Your agency really needs to look into this. This is an urgent safety issue since we can't have all these warnings going on at any time and when will we know there really is a problem?

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake assist, rear camera, lane change, and door alarm erroneously activated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but occurred while driving and after starting the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.

While driving the suv I notice a pulling sensation in the steering wheel. It feels as though it's going to lockup. Most times while I'm turning I can feel some resistance as though it's trying to avoid the turn. It's definitely not 'normal'! I've read many complaints and they're all similar, having same issues as I.

The Honda dealer in Elk Grove, CA repaired my air condition once in 2020 when it was under warranty and then the air condition broke down again just after the warranty ended. I attempted to go to Honda and they said that they are unable to offer any service as it is outside of the warranty period. Each summer, it is impossible to drive this car where I live at and have also heard of others having the same issue.

The brake assist activates randomly when no one is in front of the car. Usually happens at intersections. Today I was slowing down to go through an intersection and the brake assist engaged and my car slammed to a stop. The person behind me almost hit my car. Light was green. I am tired of this happening and no longer feel safe driving this car. This has been happening ever since I got the car

I was driving on the highway with plenty of distance between me and cars in front of me. My brake warnings came up (forward collision warning) when unnecessary, and my car stopped in the middle of the highway without me putting my foot on the brake pedal. It was a strong enough brake to jolt me forward in the car. This almost caused me to be rear-ended as the car behind me had to stop unexpectedly.

The electric power steering motor needs to be replaced - Honda has been the only one to diagnosed this. The steering sticks and makes it difficult to turn in curves. Two hands on steering is necessary and still unable to make a smooth turn. Feels like the steering is going to go out in the middle of a turn. Steering makes clicking sounds when moving. No warning lamps. no leak in power steering yet. Problem has existed for at least a year where it's been difficult to drive.

Steering at any speed is erratic.It has a dead spot and pulls left or right as if a magnet was pulling it causing me to constantly be correcting This happens whether LKAS is turned on or off I have a dealer appointment June 15th

Both drivers side and passenger sun visors in car slowly started falling and not holding up creating an issue with visibility.

I was driving at 45mph down a straight two lane road that has a left turn lane in the middle. There were no cars in front of me nor any cars coming toward me in the opposite direction. Also there were no upcoming curves or stop lights/signs. Suddenly my Honda CR-V flashed the BRAKE warning signal on the instrument panel and then proceeded to brake hard on its own. This lasted for about 1-3 seconds. Afterward the car resumed normal operation. Luckily there were no cars behind me either during the event. My right foot was on the accelerator the entire time. My left foot was near the seat and nowhere near the brake pedal. The weather was sunny, temperature about 75 degrees F. The sun was directly overhead as it was near noon. I am the original owner and this is the first time this has happened with this vehicle since purchasing it in 2018.

Several times, the vehicle will brake without an obstacle in the road. It is extremely scary - at one time, it forced me to react unexpectedly and almost got into an accident. This is scary.

Was driving around 57 mph on a 2 lane road with no cars in front or obstacles when the car suddenly flashed the brake warning on the dash board and quickly slowed the car. It only lasted a second or two then I was able to accelerate the car. Luckily there was no cars in front or behind me. It has happened twice before but this time was the most sudden braking.

Had just pulled out of my local hardware store and was going home when the brakes suddenly came on bringing me to a very sudden stop while traveling on a main road. Luckily the car behind me had time to stop. I didn't apply the brakes or the parking brake. I don't know what caused it. No cars were directly ahead of me. After the stop I was able to move again. I pulled off of the road to see if I could figure out what happened. Nothing seemed wrong and I went home without further problems.

Since the summer of 2021, I have experienced numerous instances of the Collision Mitigation Braking System "Brake" warning light coming on for no apparent reason. There has been no one in front of me and no reason for me to brake. This has happened numerous times and at varying (freeway and slow) speeds, but the system did not actually initiate braking. I reported this problem to Honda during a regular service appointment in July of 2021 and it is documented. I have had other discussions with service personnel since then, but I do not have any further documentation. Recently, they tried changing the CMBS settings to make it "less sensitive." This was actually shortly before my most recent incident. On May 19, 2023, the CMBS system actually engaged the brake. Fortunately, I was traveling at a low speed and there was no one behind me. There was no reason for the car to come to an abrupt stop. Honda has suggested previously to come to the service department right after these incidents without turning off the car. I have not been able to do that. I did however notify the service department of this new development but they did not ask to see or test the vehicle. I don't know if they have documented this latest incident. I did research the problem online and found that there have been other reported instances of a problem with the CMBS. I provided some of the articles I found and expressed my (safety) concerns about driving a vehicle that initiates braking for no apparent reason to

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The brake warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted, causing the vehicle to brake abruptly. On one occasion, another vehicle almost rear-ended the vehicle. The vehicle had not yet been taken to an independent mechanic or a local dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while approaching a traffic light, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that fuel was found inside the engine. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,600.

Just 2 months ago, when walking out to get in my 2018 Honda CRV, I found all 4 windows partway down and the roof window completely open. It has happened twice since then. What is up with this?

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the instrument cluster intermittently went blank for several minutes. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer for a diagnostic test. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

I received notification of the 2 seat belt recalls on my 2018 Honda CRV. I promptly made an appointment with my local dealership, Honda of Clear Lake in League City, Texas to take for repair. I made arrangements to work from home for the day since I would not have my vehicle for my lengthy commute to work and made arrangements for my neighbor to follow me to the dealership and bring me home so I could leave my car for the day. Upon arrival, I was informed my car would need to remain with them for at least 2 days to complete this safety recall. I cannot be without my vehicle for 2 days and cannot believe it takes that long to make this repair. This is not rebuilding an engine. This safety problem is not my fault or something I did. Honda should be required to complete the repairs in a half day - full day at most. Otherwise, unsafe situations will continue to be on the road since people work and do not have 2 days to be without a car especially in a city with long commutes and no viable public transportation from where I live to where I work. This dealership is a nightmare and should be held accountable for not making recall repairs in a timely manner.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH, the brake malfunction message was displayed, and the vehicle experienced phantom braking. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

While I was driving on the highway without any cars ahead of me, the emergency braking system engaged for a few seconds. Fortunately there was not a car behind me and I was able to continue driving. I have an upcoming appointment with a Honda dealer to examine the issue. There was no prior warning of a malfunction.

All warning lights for ALL systems going off at once while car was being driven and rotating across dash board indicating complete system failure . Car drove well but dealer says fuel injectors are faulty at 62000 miles and unsafe to drive. Car dropped off at dealer 4/23/23- and now 5/11/23. The dealer says no parts available as this is a multi model malfunction across all HONDA cars from multiple years. There is NO eta on when an part may be available and no offer of loaner car.

I purchased my Honda vehicle in Canada and legally imported it to the United States. I was contacted by my Canadian dealership and advised that there is a recall related to the seat belts. Honda describes the recall int he following terms: "Due to an improperly manufactured seat belt buckle channel, the driver and front passenger seat belt buckles may fail to latch, or may unlatch unexpectedly. An unlatched seat belt buckle may increase the risk of potential injury in the event of an accident. To resolve this issue, the affected vehicles will have both front seat belt buckles serviced by either replacing thebutton or, in some cases, the replacing the buckle assembly." The Canadian recall number is P27/P28. There is an identical U.S. recall listed on the NHTSA website as "Part 573 Safety Recall Report, 23V-158." The service Department at Sheehy Honda in Alexandria, Virginia told me they could not do the recall and they gave me conflicting information about what I need to do to get the recall work done at their dealership. One week has passed and their Service Manager has not responded to an email I sent seeking information on how to get the recall work done. I don't feel comfortable driving around with this defect, which endangers my family's safety, and I don't think Honda is following through on its obligation to complete the recall work.

2018 CR-V my air conditioner began to blow warm air after warranty expired. Research showed that many people are having same defect. Honda has put out service bulletin TSB APAS11162021901. The local dealer quoted 1500$ to replace seal. Honda help line declined to help with cost. We live in AZ so AC is a safety issue.

Today, as I was driving my automatic braking system activated without need. There was no obstacle. It was a clear and sunny day. I was driving the speed limit of 50 mph. The brakes activated so hard that if I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt I would’ve been injured. Currently my neck and back do hurt but I did not seek medical attention. This has not happened before and I have owned this vehicle for over 2 years. I have not reported the incident to my dealership yet because it is Sunday and they are not open.

Driver seat belt does NOT engage, CANNOT FASTEN.

Steering feels stuck and requires extra force to move while driving. This issue started little more than a year ago, but initially, it seemed like a very minor thing; but now its getting worse. Initially, I called the dealer and showed him the recall notice no. C2N, P2O (enclosed). Dealer said my VIN no. cars were not affected by the recall notice. I would beg to disagree.

The steering of my car felt as though there was a resistance when driving it. It felt as though there was a force pushing my wheel. It resembled what it felt like if I had lane keep assist on and was trying to maintain the lane, but I did not have that feature on. It did not happen all the time, either. I could drive it one day and not experience anything but the next day, I would. I had it diagnosed by the dealership and they stated the rack and pinion is intermittently seizing and deemed my vehicle unsafe to drive. There is an active recall on my exact year, make, model car but they stated that my vin does not match the active recall list. I was not injured but had it gone out, it could have potentially caused injury. No lights appeared on my dash and I honestly wasn't sure if something was really wrong with my car until I noticed the recall and decided to take it and have it looked at. I knew something didn't feel right but I had no idea my entire rack and pinion was bad and my car was unsafe to drive. I probably would not have taken it in had I not noticed the active recall.
