Adaptive Cruise Control problems of the 2017 Honda CR-V - part 1

My cruise control will not work. Lane departure is not working. All my lights are on in my new vehicle I just purchased. Bad fuel injectors seem to be the problem. Honda should recall these bad fuel injectors before a serious accident occurs.

On 9/2/25 all the engine lights came on on the dash. I replaced the battery and it was fine the rest of the day. Then 9/3/25 once again all the lights are on and none of the adas work.

All auxiliary safety system warning lights came on at once, with abs, tpms, collision avoidance and adaptive cruise all rendered inoperable. Dealer says faulty fuel injectors are to blame. . Read more...

On startup all safety warning lights flashed on and disabled all safety driving aids. This persisted and took to Honda dealer. Their diagnostics revealed faulty fuel injectors with code p0304 failed number 4 cylinder. Recommend replacing fuel injector go for $2000.

So for over a year my dash lights and I mean every light from tire pressure to abs brake to lane assist every light was on. Then about three months four months ago it began going into limp mode just driving down the road. This is a 2017 Honda crv over 100,000 miles on it took it into Honda of hennessy in woodstock georgia. They said that it needed fuel injectors which over 300,000 recalls were done for the same thing except mine cost me $2200 to fix what has happened to Honda. Before I could get it to a dealership because I live over an hour and a half away, the car would just shut down and I would have to pull over stop the car crank it back up hold my breath and go till the next time it would go into limp mode.

2017 Honda crv had several warning lights came on and dealer indicated it was fuel injection problem. Dealer charged $ 1500 and fixed problem. Again this year same warnings light came on. Dealer is indicating it's due to timimg chain issue and dealer wants to pull parts from engibe to see what the problem is and depending on what the problem is fix it. Dealer wants to charge more money depending on what they find and is high cost item. Delaer is not specific.

It has not been looked at yet due to not having funds to get it looked at. I do know others have the same consistent issue with these models especially when they’d get around 70,000 miles. All of the warning lights the last few months would continue to cut on and off. Now they just stay on. The car drives fine though but is a safety hazard since it can’t tell us if something is wrong.

The car had just 44,242 miles when this problem started on 8/21/2024. Two months later, the problem persists. The safety systems of the car fail upon startup and remain this way for multiple cycles of driving the car. The reality is that I cannot check enough boxes above because the form doesn't allow me. The following warnings all come up at the same time: - emission system problem - brake system problem - brake hold system problem - power steering system (eps) problem - vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem - hill start assist problem - adaptive cruise control problem - collision mitigation system problem - road departure mitigation system problem - electronic parking brake problem - tire pressure monitor problem eventually, after some amount of time or some number of restarts, the warnings clear and the safety systems work again. Then, the problem reappears.

Earlier this week and again today, my wife and I were using our 2017 Honda Cr-v ex when the car behaved very anomalously. In both of these instances, the car started normally and moved out onto the street, but then the engine abruptly bogged down and multiple messages of the form "xxx system has a problem" would cycle on the driver's display. At this time, the car would barely move forward or reverse, and shifting into reverse ("r") was accompanied by a noticeable jerk and a thump. The shifter display on the driver's display also appeared to be showing all of the possible shift settings at once. One or two cycles of rebooting the system on the infotainment/backup camera display appeared to clear the engine operation problem, but the error messages persisted for several miles and several restarts before they abruptly disappeared. Note that the streets here in florida are very flat, and the weather this week has been mostly hot and humid with little rain. We have about 40,000 miles on the odometer, and the car has been serviced regularly by the local Honda dealer. When this anomalous behavior is not taking place, the car seems to move and accelerate normally. Several other complaints appear to describe the same problem, and some owners report that they have been told that they need new fuel injectors. We have not yet taken our car to the dealer or other mechanic, and the problem has not yet been reproduced by the dealer or anyone other than us. This appears to be a safety issue because a sudden loss of engine power in traffic could be very dangerous. During the malfunction with reduced engine power, I recorded a video of the driver's display which I can provide upon request.

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 discribed above.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What I experienced was a multiple system failure. It began with a dead battery two years ago. When the engine was restarted the tpms light came on along with the indicator light to get your car checked. The lights only came on intermittently at first and it didn't seem to affect the function of the car. I had assumed that when I replaced the battery, I had loosened a fuse. As time passed, the number of lights on the dashboard increased along with the duration of time they stayed lit up. Now, within the past 3 months, all the system indicator lights are on constantly, with the accompanying beeps, dings and sounds for each light. Yesterday, on the highway, my dashboard began to dim and the vehicle began to stutter. The dashboard indicator read critical failure detected. Stop driving when safe. At the time I was on the highway in the right lane going 51 mph. This is unsafe. I have children and grandchildren and I do not feel safe transporting any of them. The reported problems are: brake system, tire pressure monitor, electric parking brake, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation system, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, hill start assist, vehicle stability assist, anti-lock brake, power steering system.

All lights in dash came on randomly one day. Would go on and off periodically eventually they stayed on. Vehicle began going into limp mode changed all spark plugs, fuel pump and injectors continued difficulty with control center every light remains on speedometer is in correct all safety features are inactive. Car is completely unsafe to drive will go into limp mode out of nowhere have tried everything to resolve issues nothing has helped. Entire system should be recalled.

When I was driving on highway when moving from texas to indiana, about 11 warning lights were suddenly on. After sending my car to a local vehicle and mechanic autocenter, the vehicle has been detected code p0172 and p0304 issues which trigger check engine light one along with another 10 warning lights, including turning off cruise control and off-road detection systems. Both my local Honda dealer and mechanic auto center diagnose it as fuel injector faulty and warned me not driving it on highway for potential risk.

My 16 year old son was driving the vehicle when all of the lights on the dashboard started flashing and alarms started sounding. As a new driver he found this really alarming and didn't know what to do. He was driving along at 40 mph along a local main road and very nearly collided with a vehicle in front of him at a set of traffic lights because he lost attention on the road. He pulled to the side of the road and was then a hazard to other road users and in a dangerous spot himself until he called me and I went out to him in a different car. We drove home carefully as the car seemed to be running fine but he was understandably shaken up. This has occurred multiple times in the last couple of weeks. The car bleeps several times and goes through all of the things that are not working correctly. Emission system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem), hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem, tire pressure monitor problem are all shown as faulty. The dealership have now told me that it is a fuel injector problem and they will need to be replaced. Looks like the car is showing an obd-ii code of running too rich and cylinder misfire. I have codes p0172 and p0303 and one other I think. My car has only done 45,000 miles. From reading more about this it seems that the fuel injectors in my generation of Honda Cr-v (mine is a 2017) have widespread issues with these components. The fault causes the warning lights to light up like a christmas tree which can be extremely distracting. All of the safety features also no longer work which is dangerous for the driver continuing to drive in that state. Inexperienced drivers like my son (and anyone else for that matter) can be left in very hazardous situations.

Randomly all sensors will come on, won’t be anything wrong and sensors will stay on. Can’t tell when you have emergency break on during this. Researching and it happens to a lot of Honda Cr-v.

2017 Cr-v has 55,000 miles on it. All of the dashboard warning lights are coming on randomly, causing panic and making it impossible to tell if something is really wrong. Very dangerous. Honda dealer diagnosis is to replace all 4 fuel injectors at cost of $1,726. There are literally thousands of reports about this online, people being given the same repair fix, often without permanent success, and with having to pay thousands for relatively low mileage vehicles. Honda has issued extended warranty for other Honda models about fuel injectors but has done nothing for the Honda Cr-vs. 2017 seems to be a bad year for this fault. Driving a vehicle with multiple warnings flashing randomly is dangerous.

My Honda when I was driving on my dash started going crazy and says power steering, brakes, tire pressure, adaptive cruise control etc. . I can use any of my safety features when driving the car is constantly telling me there's all these things wrong.

While sitting in the longest traffic jam I ever experienced on a hot summer day and not moving, suddenly all lights and driver assistant lights came on the dashboard and the parking brake engaged. I was able to release the parking brake and drive with all the lights lit on the dashboard. My vehicle had only 88k miles. A Honda dealership ran a diagnostics and reported a code po172 engine fuel trim lean so car will need injectors and fuel pipe to fix. I just paid for the diagnostics and not the repair since they were able to reset the computer to clear the problem.

While driving all these systems will start flashing and no longer work. The dealer's fix it to simply reset the codes. So this can happen at any time and be a risk to the driver and people in the vehicle and around it. This has happened numerous times in the 5 years I have owned this vehicle.

Started having trouble with the car just suddenly braking on the highway a few times but was able to disengage the acc and take control of the car. A few times the entire radar system would shut down and I would take it into the dealer where they could find nothing wrong with the car even though by that time acc would not work on the longest interval setting. Finally on a road trip in the beginning of August 2023 the entire radar system broke and could not be reset. I needed to replace the entire radar system for $1900 on a car that had less than 42,000 miles and is 5 years old!! not to mention the danger in suddenly stopping on the freeway. I called Honda and they do not have a recall for this problem . . . . Does someone have to have a terrible accident before a recall is issued. Not to mention the cost of replacing the entire radar system.

As I was driving several warning beeps sounded and several different malfunction alarms showed on the dashboard including cruise control, brake system, and lane mitigation system. When I parked the vehicle the emergency brake light continued to flash and would not engage. I was able to turn the vehicle off, wait a while and resumed driving to get home. The brake light did remain steady when I turned off the car, but it appeared that the other malfunction alarms were still in effect. In addition, a few days prior while driving on the freeway, my dashboard monitoring system dimmed unexpectedly. When I pulled off the freeway I was able to access and recover the light/dimming system. My vehicle has only 45,000 miles. I have experienced other odd electronic problems that resolved spontaneously in the past. However, these issues are worrisome and feel unsafe, especially when they occur while operating the vehicle.

The fuel injectors in this generation of Honda Cr-v's (2017-current), have widespread reported issues related to clogged injectors - mostly in 2017-2019 models at approx. The 75,000 mile range. This causes the vehicles computer to illuminate multiple warning messages on the dash board (emission system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem), hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem, tire pressure monitor problem). These warning messages are usually related to an obd-ii code of running too rich or cylinder misfire - p0172, p0303, p219f, etc. . . . Once one of these fuel injector related trouble codes is illuminated on the dash, all the above listed safety features are disabled. In certain cases, the car may even go into limp mode - even while on the highway and vehicle traffic behind the vehicle. There are many documented cases online on facebook Cr-v groups, and other Cr-v related websites documenting this problem. Again, all related to a potential poor design with the Honda Cr-v fuel injector in the 1. 4l turbo engine introduced in the 2017 model year - that then disables key safety features of the vehicle! ex. .

Vehicle is going in to 'limp" mode at highway speeds without warning. All safety features including acc, lkas, emergency braking, collision avoidance, brake hold do not work when this happens. Vehicle must be pulled over to the side of the road, shut off and then restarted to allow car to operate at normal speed until the issue occurs again ( usually 20-30 minutes later). Brought car to Honda and they confirmed fuel injector issue. Part is discontinued and new parts not available. No recall, but incidences where all warning lights come on the dash are all over user groups on the internet. Problem always comes back to fuel injectors. The main issue is that it goes in to limp mode with no acceleration available without warning. This creates a huge safety issue in rush hour traffic. Honda does not acknowledge the problem with the injector and can offer no information as to when replacement injectors would be available.

All 8 systems associated with collision avoidance, lane change warning, tire pressure, cruise control, braking system, and engine electrics are flashing warning lights about 80% of the time. The car runs but these systems are compromised (cruise won't work, emergency braking doesn't work, etc. ) the dealer has told me different things each time he has diagnosed it, the latest being a need for new turbo units, but the number of people who have this problem and get different "solutions" from dealers only to have the problem return indicates a systemic problem.

I was driving down the highway and all adas lights came on and kept repeating. I reset the system but the warnings remained. I took the vehicle to local mechanic who plugged in his scanner. The first thing that popped up was wheel speed sensor along with all the other adas warnings. Did alot of research on the internet and found out this was a common problem with the crv. I decided to buy a new sensor and replace myself. This actually solved the problem. Why do all adas lights come on for one problem?.

I bought this car on April 30,2022 for $30,000. It had18,0000 (plus) miles. Within 6 months the idiot lights would come on and all safety controls were cancelled. When this first happened, I was frightened that I would be involved in an accident or the car would just shut down. I called a dealer close by and was told by their service manager to take it to an auto store, have them put it on their computer to tell me what was wrong. I did that. Was told I needed an oil change. Had the oil change and things were ok for about 4 days when all lights came back on again scaring the h__l out of me. Had a private mechanic check it out and was told it needed an oxygen sensor. Then the car wouldn't start. Turned out the battery was low, so I replaced the battery. Warning lights did not go on for a couple of days. I then went to the local Honda dealer who told me to bring the car in and for $190 they would use their computers to tell me what was wrong. Can you imagine what chutzpa that takes? they, knowing what the problem was yet charging me to tell me. I am now out of state. Took vehicle into closest dealership for oil change, tire rotation. Told service of dashboard lights, what I had done so far, and asked them to figure out problem. They said I needed $1500 fuel injectors which would have been covered by the warranty but that ran out on length of time. The car only had 30,000 miles but was 6 years old. Suggested I ask Honda for an extension of the warranty to cover costs. The lights are still continuously on now. All safety features are essentially off. I am afraid to drive it in fear of having an accident. I have contacted America Honda for an extension of the warranty and will attach that timeline and phone calls to/from them. The reason for doing this is that I do not believe installing new fuel injectors will fix this problem. I think it is in the computer system itself. And I am in danger of having a crash. 09.

Shift button knob broke on April 20- 2022 location of the vehicle was out of the USA. Local Honda dealer was notified about the recall and ordered the parts, the replacement of the knob was done may may 10- 2022. I payed for the repair and Honda corporation denied a reimbursement.

All warning lights start cycling through and flashing. Not able to use the automated driving system at all. Honda diagnostics reports all 4 fuel injectors need to be replaced. Fuel is too rich. This is not just a cold weather problem. I live in arkansas and it has been happening all summer in 100+ degree heat.

All warning lights flashing, brake, engine, hill assist, acc, traction control, tps, etc.

While in adaptive cruse control and traveling at highway speeds of 70 mph, I attempted to pass a slower moving semi tractor and trailer. Just as I was about to complete the pass, with traffic building up behind me, the system went to automatic braking, as if there were traffic in front of me. There was absolutely no traffic in front of me for at least a mile. This occurred on a bright sunny day on a straight stretch of road. I was able to apply excessive pressure to the gas pedal and slowly able to get the car up to highway speed again without getting rear ended. This has happened on three occasions, always with passing a tractor trailer. I have taken it to the dealer and they say they can find no problem. In addition, more times than I can count, I have had the car alert me and apply the breaks when there are no cars in front of me or beside me during normal driving (no cruse control). Lastly, almost without fail, if I am traveling at highway speeds using adaptive cruse control and the car in front of me takes an exit, my car will almost always break, even though the car that was in front of me is now clearly off on the exit. These sudden slowdowns when the traffic behind me is expecting me to maintain speed or speed up is a real hazard for getting rear ended or having someone get hostile towards me with their driving. Again, the dealer has been notified many times and indicates that they can find no problem. I have now turned off all the automatic driving features to avoid these issues, but the second issue still remains and I am out over $3,000 for a group of electronic components in my car that I can not use due to safety issues. Issue started with the car when brand new and continues to this day.

On occasion, while using the adaptive cruise control, the system will suddenly begin to brake or slow down without any obstruction being present. My sense of this over the past five years is that the system perceives a 'shadow,' typically from an overpass or a truck in the next lane, as an obstruction in front of my car. The braking is short-lived event and has not caused my car to come to a complete stop or caused an accident. I am reporting this now, due to the news stories about this issue with the cr v.
