general problems of the 2016 Honda CR-V - part 1

Level for oil change was at 30%, took it in and it only had 2. 5 quarts of oil. No indication I was low, no oil leak, and it affected the valves. Honda of lisle said this is common issue with 4 cylinder models, yet there is no recall. Now I have to check my oil every week and add as needed, and will have an large bill to replace the engine. The vehicle has only 61,000 miles.

While driving at highway speeds almost a total loss of engine power occurred causing a safety issue. Five warning indicators lit at this time: tire pressure monitoring system malfunction indicator lamp (check engine) vehicle stability assist warning electric power steering warning this problem resulted in a Honda dealer service replacement of the high pressure fuel pump which cost me over $2800 and another $400 for a rental car. There was a recall for the 2017-2020 crv for an identical(?) issue. This 2016 may have been a later manufacture and had the same fuel pump. A very reputable local garage examined the car and were unwilling to repair the crv because they were quite familiar with the frequent and problematic Honda crv high pressure fuel pump issues. It was drellishak's service in rocky river ohio.

Cvt complete transmission failure consistent with service bulletin 16-053 from Honda, dated September 9, 2016. I was not the owner of the car at this time, so a recall notice was never received by me. Currently, transmission is being fully replaced at 94,000 miles at a cost of $5700. It is a safety issue, due to the car not being able to drive over 30mph, nearly stalling at traffic lights and stop signs. A rear end collision would be imminent.

Oil leaking from valve cover causing low oil levels.

Title: engine defect – excessive oil consumption and vtc actuator failure my 2016 Honda Cr-v (purchased from mohawk Honda, serviced at rensselaer Honda) developed a serious engine defect after only about 25,000 miles. The vehicle began consuming excessive oil, and later the vtc actuator failed, causing severe loss of power during acceleration and uphill driving, creating unsafe conditions. Dealership confirmed: •excessive oil consumption from stuck piston rings. •white smoke due to oil burning. •vtc actuator and timing damage. •epr cleaning service failed to fix the issue. Despite evidence of a manufacturing defect, Honda denied goodwill assistance. The dealership also gave unsafe instructions (drive 1,000 miles with low oil), which worsened the damage. This defect causes loss of power while driving, which is a serious safety hazard. I request NHTSA investigate Honda’s handling of piston ring and vtc defects.

The engine sporadically will “skip” and then keep going. The rpms will spoke a little when it does.

Engine loosing oil inside the engine. Honda dealership lemon grove Honda reworked the engine. New ring set, gasket kit, spark plugs, coolant, oil seal, 2 o-rings 12. 6 x 2. 4 and 1 o-ring other. 1/27/23 replaced pistons rings, including cylinder head gasket and spark plugs, after replacing rings and gasket tested said 1005 good cost for me was $4397. 86. Prior to this, they replaced the gaskets and spark plugs for $800. Complained that is might be the same problem again 5/24 and they charged me $2559. 14 for labor and said it was not the same problem. Then in 9/24 it was seen then on 10/4 they said the problem was the same and engine was not good anymore. Looked for help with Honda, and none was given -- just told it was my tough luck. Noted that there is a recall on Honda engines in 2016 in the paper as of today 11/11/24. This should fall within that recall as it keeps failing.

I bought this car from hillside Honda in queens, NY in June 8th 2016. It was a floor model that I was told by the salesman I got a great deal on it and I found out later it wasn't true. Let me get to the point, I found out this car is a lemon car. From the frontal airbag to the engine, it's a complete nightmare. My focus is more on the engine itself. The vehicle vibrates too much, I keep this car well maintained. At 62,000 miles, I already changed the fuel pump, fuel injectors, spark plugs, ignition coil, the vehicle is still vibrating and dies while driving. I feel this is completely shocking. Never in my life in the last past decade, I never had any vehicle from 1993 to 2022 which I have this issue with. I reached out to many experienced mechanics, they all told me, this car wasn't built well. What else you need to change to make this car drivable. You can't use the ac on a hot summer, I regret every single day in my life buying a Honda. It was my dream car but I got a lemon. I need help because I'm stuck with this piece of work. I'm not willing to spend a dime more because I am the only owner who drives this vehicle since the day I bought it, I barely drive it because I want it to last long enough so I can enjoy my investment but as I said previously, at 62,000 the vehicle is completely useless. I found out from an obd port sensor reporting that this vehicle was built with the wrong engine components, therefore it should be replaced. I want someone to conduct an investigation and take necessary action against Honda motor CO. For what they've done to many consumers out there. I feel embarrassed to talk about this. I even overpaid for this junk and now I'm stuck with it. And I'm not the only one going through this.

I have a 2016 Honda crv with a 1. 5 turbo engine with 23,000 miles. I am getting fuel in the oil,and this is happening to all 1. 5 engines. China will not let Honda sell this engine. There is a class action lawsuit in California people cannot file for other states. My garage smells gas very bad. When I drive I have to let my front windows down and what will I do in winter I live in missouri. My engine life span will be really short because the engine has fuel in it the main and rod bearings will fail. Fuel vapors will bring on some kind of illness in the cabin. My name is jerald e. Jenkins my address is 203 s. Peachtree lane republic missouri my phone number is 417-773-2095.

8/24/2023 check engine light came on early a. M. Went to work, vehicle would barely go stalling on got up to 20 mph, got off work at 5 p. M.

I know feel unsafe with this vehicle! I see there are numerous complaints about this issue! also the mechanic had to press the accelerator hard to get it to go, I was doing that already too, press the brake check engine light would go off and come back on when you press the accelerator to go! very dangerous, I am asking for a safety recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start up after several attempts. There was no warning light illuminated. Once the vehicle was started, the vehicle jerked while depressing the accelerator pedal while driving at various speeds. There was no warning light illuminated. One day, several warning lights appeared on the instrument panel soon after starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a diagnostic test was performed; however, no defect was found with the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Multiple times I have gone to pull out onto a road and the car has hesitated and actually stalled a few times almost causing me to be hit. Starting in 2021. Around 70,000 miles the check engine light came on saying emission control problem and went off. Around this time it all began. At 80,000 miles it would cycle on and off intermittently "check engine" and they told me it was the catalytic convertor which I replaced at over $2,000 dollars in cost. . I still have the issue. Honda is hiding a problem and there are articles saying its the O2 and maf sensors. Causing these issues and the software also. Talking to a local repair shop he said I was the third Honda crv he has seen this month. Hesitation, stalling, clogged catalytic converters?? , acceleration not happening when you step on the gas pedal. I am not alone with this problem.

The contact's husband owns a 2016 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while attempting to drive from a complete stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that she turned on the hazard lights. The contact then turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I was driving on the interstate when my car suddenly lost power and I was put in an unsafe position of trying to get my car into the emergency lane. The warning lamps flashed on the dash and in particular the engine light. , the car dropped speed from 70 to 20 mph and would not accelerate. Upon trying to accelerate the engine made a loud noise and would not accelerate. I had it towed and the car corrected from limp mode but I still don’t know if it will reoccur. I’ve had it looked at by my dealer and was told the car went into limp mode but they said they couldn’t pinpoint why. My car is available to be inspected.

Car shuts down intermittently after coming to a complete stop and accelerating to continue. It's shutting down in the middle of traffic, which makes for a very dangerous situation for my self, my child (which has witnessed it turn off) and for other drivers approaching my stopped vehicle in the middle of the road, this is very scary and my fear is that one day I won't be able to restart my car on time/in a split second to move it out of traffic quickly and will cause a very bad accident due to this shutting off. It has also shut off while at an incline a few times, which again is very nerve racking, to the point where I stopped using it, though it's my only means of transportation to work prior to dropping my child off for school. No warning lights or messages have been noticed on the car. I have not had time or money to take it to dealership, only local mechanic which says they can't find any problem, I still have a car loan to pay and other financial obligations. It can be ready for inspection if needed.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that on several occasions while stopped, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on several occasions however, the cause of the failure was not able to be duplicated on the first occasion. The contact stated that on the second occasion, the vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the motor mounts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred a day later. The vehicle was then taken to the same dealer and the contact was informed that an unknown part needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred within approximately 14 hours. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

These cars have had this problem for years according to an independent Honda garage. Wife complained the car wouldn't accelerate when the accelerator pedal was mashed. I thought it was a mistake she had caused. A week or so later, I experienced the same issue. I mashed the gas, entered a 4 lane 45 mph street & the car wouldn't accelerate. With cars bearing down, I don't know what I did, but managed to finally get the car to move. I've taught defensive driver training, road raced in scca & have well over a million miles behind the wheel, never have I had this occur before. I'd heard of unintended acceleration, but I had just experienced non-intended acceleration. I talked to 4 different Honda service writers at different dealers, none admitted being aware of this problem. After multiple occurrences of the same issue, I went into an independent Honda garage, started explaining what had happened. The owner's wife came out from behind her desk, picked up 1 of 5 boxes on the counter & said, "this is your problem & why we keep this many cause it's a common & frequent problem," the box contained an accelerator position sensor. She explained it is a common problem with Honda vehicles equipped with these position sensors. I've reported this problem before & wrote a letter to Honda America. I haven't heard of a resolution to replace these defective electronic sensors. If someone with my experience is almost hit by oncoming vehicles due to these defective accelerator position sensors, I wonder how many people have been injured or killed because their Honda would not accelerate when needed. It is something NHTSA needs to investigate. Enlist independent garages to determine how much of a problem these sensors pose, dealerships are not viable responders as a result of this continuing problem, we wanted to get rid of the vehicle, had an opportunity to sell the vehicle & did.

Car will shut off when still cold or at a complete stop and then when you press the gas to accelerate either the car will shut off and stall or will not go anywhere. Usually when that happens I put car in neutral and drive to go or put it on neutral rev it a few times then I can either drive or reverse. Already had this car serviced last year at the dealership was told faulty fuel injectors. Car drove good for about a year and now back to either stalls or doesn’t move. Really frustrating and a potential hazard especially when trying to make a left turn or right turn and stalls or doesn’t move.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at an undetermined speed, there was an abnormal odor of smoke detected. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where they informed her the coolant had mixed with the cvt transmission fluid. The vehicle was diagnosed and it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed her that the catalytic convertor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer where they informed contact the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. While driving from the dealer, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 74,879.

On Sep 10 2020, when I drove the Cr-v uphill on crenshaw southbound near indian peak, it could not accelerate and get into "limp" mode. No engine light was on. Once I was able to use momentum to pull over, restarted the car, it was driving as normal. I drove it to the nearest Honda dealer and left with them for a week. They could reproduce the issue by driving exactly to the same spot. They investigated and replaced the whole tank of fuel, suspecting water in the gas tank. On Sep 19 2021, my husband was driving on lancaster 14 north bound (uphill). The Cr-v go into "limp" mode and could not accelerate. Engine light turned on soon after. He was able to cruise to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. Once it was restarted, the engine light turned off, the car could go again, and he drove and left it to the nearest dealer, they could not find any issue. On Nov 7 2021, as I am driving on 73 toll road north bound (uphill) near catalina view toll booth, Cr-v traveling around 65 mph started to get into "limp" mode and I could not accelerate it pressing the gas pedal, then the engine light turned on. I was able to cruise by momentum and pull to the shoulder. I stopped and restarted the car, and it was able to travel again. All through my trip afterward (405 nb), the car felt "choked" and "stuttered" when I tried to accelerate.

My car started to feel like it rides rough and uneasy. I herd a loud pop inside from the engine when reversing out of my parking stall. It sounded like something inside the suspension or the engine: the engine also feels off and not running like it should. The tire warning also keeps coming on and I replaced all the tires already.

Car is burning oil very quickly, no apparent leaks. Bad noise coming from front end when going up and down hills caused me to investigate this problem with mechanic. Notice many complaint on the internet regarding this problem with the Honda crv 2016.

Honda crv e-xl bought in 2016 from coral springs Honda, FL and always maintained at Honda dealership died on freeway on 08/06/2021 in approximately 5 years. When towed in nearest firestone they routed to Honda as they suspect the coolant has breached into 4 cylinders. Honda dealership (first texas Honda austin ) is quoting around $10000 for a new engine replacement for 3 - 4 grand for an older engine of similar miles. My question is does Honda engines typically dies at 50k mile marks. I trusted Honda to last for 200k plus. Does Honda need to instrospect the engines manufactured for 2016 crvs. What went wrong to this engine does it requires Honda to recall 2016 Honda crv as I would have met an accident due to my car dying all of sudden on a freeway. The car started giving fumes from ac vent and all the warning light flashed on the dashboard. Please please help me getting my car fixed as I cannot afford that much of money. Honda case number: 12418365.

1. Car is too much bumpi from day1 2. Every time star with shake 3. Gas paddel need to push twice to run the car 4. All injectors and spark plugs are changed new (bought from Honda} 5. Still giving code p0172 system too rich bank 1, 6. Went Honda service can not guarantee the can fix but they took 140 dollar fee. 7. Something like unknown because even Honda can not fix it 8. Car miles 126000.

The pistons and piston rings have failed, and the engine burns oil rapidly. There is no indication by the vehicle of the issue as far as any dashboard lights, etc. I brought my vehicle into the Honda dealership over a year ago with a noise the car was making. I was told by Honda that my car had burned oil, and to do an oil consumption test and the results would be submitted to Honda corporate. Honda corporate forced me to do multiple oil consumption tests for over a year while my car was still in warranty. Now that my car is out of warranty, Honda corporate will not pay for my car to get fixed. This is a huge safety issue because this car in that year's make & model will burn oil to the point without making the driver aware of it until the engine combusts and can destroy the engine entirely. Anyone with this year make & model should not have to worry about their car having a factory defect and the dealer refusing to pay for it. There is nothing I could have done to cause the piston and piston rings to fail. Especially for the fact that I am the first owner of this car.

Vehicle stalls when driving, power steering, tire pressure, and check engine light all come on, but when mechanic checks there’s no codes popping up. Then vehicle stalls again.

Started the car in the parking lot. The engine was idling a bit rough. Put the car in drive. Suddenly the engine roared and accelerated. Tried to apply the brake. It did not work. Fortunately did not hit any other cars in the parking lot. The car jumped over the curb at the edge of the parking lot, went into a ditch and hit a tree. Came to a stop. The airbag was activated. The engine was still running at high rpm. Fortunately this malfunction happened in a parking lot and not on a busy city road !!!!! this bizarre incident points to potential malfunction of the computer controls. Forensic investigation is needed to rule out this possibility.

Pulled the car out of the parking lot and shifted the gear to drive. Even before I pressed the gas pedal, the engine roared and the car sped out of control. The brake failed. Fortunately was able to avoid other parked cars and the car came to a stop in a ditch at the edge of the parking lot. The car may have traveled about 100 yds before coming to stop. The airbag was deployed and the damage to the front of the car may be extensive. Reporting this failure to the NHTSA in case there are other similar events happening with the 2016 Honda Cr-v model.

I have submitted this complaint before. We sold the car rather than deal with a potential t-bone accident. When starting from a stop, as you would accelerate into a traffic lane the car without warning would suddenly act as if the key was turned off, ceasing to accelerate. Exiting our neighborhood onto a thoroughfare with typical 35-50 mph traffic, my wife & I both had frequent instances of this failure to accelerate or dead throttle response. With 50+ years of driving, 5 years of scca road racing, 5 years of teaching defensive driving, I'm still not sure what I've done to get the car to accelerate & avoid getting t-boned. Several Honda dealerships have acted as if this is an unknown situation/condition. Actually talked to 5 different Honda service writers who all denied that the problem existed. Went to an independent Honda garage who had 5 boxes of the offending part-throttle position sensor-on their office counter. I was told it is a common problem, as evidenced by the number of tps boxes they had. This is an extreme hazard & danger to anyone driving a Honda that uses this particular piece of hardware. I would urge a recall to force Honda to re-design this sensor to eliminate the potential non-acceleration issue.
