general problems of the 2017 Honda CR-V - part 1

When driving on the interstate, the car speed went from 75 mph to 10-20 mph over 20 miles. The engine light came on, and the car would not go any faster than 10-20 mph. It was extremely nerve racking trying to get off the interstate and attempt to limp in to topeka KS. It was very cold that day as well.

Recently, all of the warning lights on the car went off all at once and wouldn’t turn off even if I turn the car off/on. There was no issue leading up to this but after taking it into Honda and getting a second opinion, it is due to faulty fuel injectors and the repair total will be $1,800. The repairs are necessary because of safety issues associated with the fuel injectors. Other Honda vehicles with the same injectors have an extended warranty (150,000 miles) but Honda crv’s do not. I read 100+ reviews other users having the same issue. I’d like Honda to step in and at least give an extended warranty.

On December 31, on my way to work driving 58mph on the highway, the car slows down in traffic on the highway and the dashboard lights up. I avoided a wreck, narrowly. I put on my flashers and coast to the nearest gas station. I turned the car off and waited 10 minutes or so and proceed to drive home with the flashers on, the car seemed to be ok and I was 10 minutes from my house then the car slows down again to 7 mph so I drove like that with the flashers holding up traffic praying I'd make it home. It stalled crossing the train tracks but I made it home. I called a mechanic that hooked it up to a device to read the codes and he informed me about the fuel injector and that it was common for the make and model of my Honda Cr-v to have this problem. The cost is exorbitant and Honda should bear some if not all of the cost for replacement.

I am reporting a recurring safety issue with my 2017 Honda Cr-v. The vehicle has experienced repeated incidents where multiple warning lights suddenly illuminate at the same time. In some instances, the lights disappear temporarily and then return. I replaced the battery, but the warning lights returned within two weeks. About one year ago, the Honda dealer recommended replacing all four fuel injectors, which I did at significant cost. Despite this repair, the problem reoccurred. Most recently, all warning lights came on again and the vehicle lost power and became undrivable. This presents a serious safety concern, especially if it occurs while driving. I have learned that many other 2017 Honda Cr-v owners report similar fuel injector and warning-light issues. I believe this may indicate a widespread defect and request that NHTSA investigate this matter for potential recall or corrective action. Thank you for pay close attention to this matter!.

All fuel injectors need to be replaced. I know 2 other people with crv's that have had the same exact issue and had to have them replaced. It is also all over forums on the internet. Service people at Honda also told me it is a known issue with the fuel injectors in the Honda 4 cylinders until 2023. I have a quote for almost $1700. I currently own 2 Honda crv's and one is a 2022 so I am expecting that one to eventually need the fuel injectors also. I am bringing the car in for service on 12/15 to have this done. I feel like this should be investigated to bring a recall. When people that work at repair facilities say the only way to bring this to light is to report it to this agency and try to get a recall since Honda isn't going to issue the recall on their own.

1. Please see my letter to Honda. 2. I drove for months with all of my warning lights on, not being able to tell what was actually wrong with my car/note being able to afford to fix my car that isn't even paid off. See letter to Honda. 3. Yes. It has been confirmed by my local Honda dealer as well as an independent service center. 4. I have filed a complaint with Honda. 5. Yes. All of my warning lights in the car would flash/stay on making it very difficult to figure out what the issue actually was. Letter: I am writing to follow up on my recent communication with Honda’s goodwill department regarding the fuel injector failure on my 2017 Honda Cr-v. This situation has caused significant financial burden & frustration with a brand I have always trusted. Over a year ago, the fuel injectors began intermittently triggering the vehicle’s computer system, despite there being no actual mechanical issue. At that time, Honda acknowledged this was a “common” problem with this model year & advised it was safe to continue driving since the sensor was only barely tripping the system. I hoped Honda would issue a recall or extended warranty, as this is a known and widespread defect. That never occurred. This past weekend, the sensor failed completely & required immediate replacement at a cost of $1,000+—nearly identical to the estimate Honda provided over a year ago. My vehicle has only 96,000 miles, is not yet paid off, & was purchased as a certified pre-owned Honda. These factors are precisely why I have remained loyal to Honda. It is extremely frustrating that this same issue is covered under a recall or extended warranty for the 2018 Cr-v, while the 2017 model—despite having the same known defect—is excluded. This inconsistency feels unfair, especially since Honda acknowledged this issue directly. I am requesting reconsideration for assistance. This failure was not due to misuse or neglect but a known defect that occurred prematurely. I hope Honda will stand behind its reputation.

2017 Honda cr v- hybrid (under 10 year under 150,000 miles) all warning lights on the dashboard—including the check engine light, oil pressure warning, battery warning light, tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) light, brake system warning, abs (anti-lock braking system) light, fuel level warning light, and engine temperature warning light—activated intermittently. This issue intermittently occurred each time the vehicle was started, with symptoms lasting from a few days up to several weeks. The warning lights would temporarily resolve, with periods lasting from a few days to several months. The vehicle's battery was replaced twice within one year, which seemed to temporarily alleviate the issue; however, the warning lights recurred afterward. Recently, Honda was able to conduct a thorough diagnosis with the lights going off and seems to have identified the root cause, leading to the replacement of the spark plugs and fuel injectors at an approximate cost of $2,000. If unaddressed, this issue could pose safety risks such as rough idling, decreased fuel efficiency, engine misfires, difficulty starting, poor acceleration, unexpected stalling, sudden complete loss of power, and electrical problems. This issue is recognized by Honda and is currently covered under a recall for the 2023-2025 Honda pilot and the 2023-2025 Honda accord hybrid. While the Honda accord hybrid and Honda Cr-v hybrid share the same fuel injection system as part of Honda’s two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain, the Honda Cr-v hybrid has not yet been included in this recall. Nonetheless, many Honda Cr-v hybrid owners are experiencing similar issues and are incurring repair costs out of pocket.   Honda, please consider including our Honda Cr-v hybrid in your recall for your fuel injection system issue.  including all within the 10 yr 150k miles that are using this faulty fuel injection systems.

All warnings on dash appeared on vehicle. Took to the dealership and all 4 cylinder fuel injectors need replacing. Car only has 39,900 miles on it.

A 2017 Cr-v entering limp mode and showing all dashboard alerts. I brought it up to Honda America and open case #15734548 to complained about fuel injector recall. After reading the codes at local Honda dealership chandler,arizona and repaired cylinder misfire issues. Two days later again started showing all warning lights. I request local Honda dealer to diagnosis further. After discussion with dealer and started reading countless posts regarding bad fuel injectors on different models. I too see Honda recalls for fuel injectors and my VIN is not in recall list. Its well maintained and only 73k miles on this 2017 crv. They wouldn’t normal maintenance issue and its a design or manufacturing flaw. I am requesting that Honda cover the full cost of the necessary repairs and more move its several safety recalls due to bad fuel injector design or so. Should be included in recalls.

I am writing to formally express my extreme dissatisfaction with the randomly vanishing dashboard, all sorts of warning lights and its recurring issues. I see a recall for 2017 crv for fuel injector. I don't see my VIN for fuel injector recalls and most likely my crv issue with fuel injector. Fuel injector replacement is a major repair. I. I scheduled an appointment with autonation Honda chandler,az,to troubleshoot an issue. I believe these issues may stem from a design or manufacturing flaw. I am requesting that Honda cover the full cost of the necessary repairs.

2017 Honda crv only serviced at Honda dealers and all recommended maintenance performed including cleaning the fuel injectors at 50k! engine was running rough and took it to dealer. Tech found vehicle running very rich, with some slight misfires. Pulled plugs, no cooling system leak, every cylinder running rich, fuel injectors are sticking (cleaned one year ago), spark plugs are heavily fouled. Had to replace all fuel injectors, and all spark plugs at 56k miles. Called Honda because this is a known 2017-18 software problem causing the fuel to run rich "Honda service bulletin 19-032" June 18, 2019 and Honda claimed my vehicle was not included in the extended 6yr unlimited miles warranty because I took it in for service before it through the required codes. So because I take good care of my car and pay more for Honda dealers to do the maintenance so my warrenty won't be voided I get screwed by Honda out of $2300!! NHTSA knows this is a true saftey issue. The recorded complaints are massive for this fuel issue. It is a software issue that should have been updated on all the 2017-2018 Honda crv's to avoid premature replacement of the fuel injectors. Honda has all my vehicle records in their system but couldn't confirm the dealer did the required software updates which the tbs specifically says if the software update is not done it voids the warranty. Nhtsa needs to make Honda make a recall and reimburse for all these fuel injectors and spark plugs. Honda also didn't have any loyalty for this being our 5th Honda. I have read this issue can cause a vehicle to stall if not fixed which is a safety issue.

Fuel smell when vehicle is parked overnight. The smell is inside the cabin especially stronger near the rear left passenger door where the filler fuel is located. This has been happening even in summer temperatures, not just cold weather like some people have mentioned in forums or online.

My 2017 Honda Cr-v experienced premature and sudden fuel injector failure that I believe is part of a widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 Cr-v models. In April, multiple warning lights came on several times (“10-point” dashboard lights). I went to different mechanics, and one recommended a brake fluid flush, which I completed. The warnings continued. Later, while driving, I heard a sudden, harsh crunching sound from the engine area. I immediately pulled over out of concern for safety. The vehicle still moved but did not feel safe to drive, so I cautiously limped it home and canceled clients. I took the vehicle to south point Honda in durham, nc. Their diagnosis confirmed that all four fuel injectors had failed, and they quoted $1,679. 99. I then had the repair completed at a Honda/Acura specialty shop for $1,273. 12. Fuel injectors are not a regular maintenance item, and many other Cr-v owners have reported the same problem. These injector failures can cause misfires, loss of power, or engine damage while driving, which is a safety concern. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate premature injector failure in 2017–2019 Honda Cr-v models.

Unexpected sudden acceleration. 2017 Honda Cr-v. Twice while highway driving with autopilot on, system failed to slow it when approaching other vehicles and it sped up instead. When I pumped the brakes, it went away. I took it off autopilot henceforth. Several days later, coming out of a market parking lot and approaching a stop sign, the accelerator went down and sped me forward with brakes doing barely anything. I shot into a cvs parking lot, managed to stop it and turn the engine off. It's sitting in a garage now and no one knows what to do and I am terrified to drive it. Could have killed me or others around me. It was not the floor mat nor anything I did.

This complaint is in regards to three engine failures for my vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in October of 2017. In October 2020 this vehicle suffered a malfunction of the fuel injector systems. Warning lights were enabled prior to losing full power of the vehicle at this time and it was brought in for repair. In June 2025, my vehicle began losing power while actively driving resulting in the car and myself being put in potentially dangerous conditions on the road. The car would fail to accelerate and move. The car had to be coasted back to an area of safety. There were no warning lights prior to this happening. Warning lights came on hours later after attempting to address the issue. At that time in June 2025, my car was found to have a blown head gasket from an unknown cause per the dealership. I was without a car for approximately 3 weeks which was devastating for my family and caused hardship. As well as a financial burden from the costly repairs. In September 2025, my car again lost power and was required to be towed to the dealership. At this time I was told again that the fuel injectors needed replaced due to failure. Warning lights did not display prior to the power failure, they displayed after the fact as we attempted to find a cause at the scene. This was a sudden power failure that could have been potentially dangerous.

The high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump malfunctioned and no, it is not available for inspection upon request. The car all of a sudden got stalling while running at 45 mph and got jerking continuously. After the incident, the car was taken to a dealer for a diagnosis and the dealer inspected that the high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump got malfunctioned. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure and they first appeared when the incident occured.

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.

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...

All lights on dash coming on. Codes p0172 and p0303 pop up on obd scanner. Mafs , spark plugs, ignition coils and air filters all replaced. Car goes into limp mode. 124,800 miles. Dealer says fuel injectors failed and needs replacing, research shows this is a common issue for the. 2017 crv Honda edition. Mpg never dropped , remained. 33. 1. When codes cleared, car functions like normal.

Cylinder 2 and cylinder 3 misfire code, rough idling, loss of power specific problems: rough idling: the engine may feel shaky or unstable when the vehicle is stopped or idling, often due to incomplete combustion in one or more cylinders hesitation or lack of power: you may notice your Cr-v hesitating or losing power during acceleration, or a general reduction in performance, making it feel sluggish or difficult to drive stalling: the engine may stall unexpectedly, especially at low speeds or when stopped, as a result of misfires disrupting normal engine operation check engine light: the check engine light may come on or begin flashing, indicating that the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics have detected repeated misfires vibration or shaking: you might feel abnormal vibrations through the steering wheel, seat, or floor, especially while idling unusual noises: listen for popping, sputtering, or knocking sounds from the engine, which can indicate incomplete combustion or irregular firing poor acceleration or loss of power: you might notice reduced engine responsiveness, sluggish acceleration, or the inability to reach higher speeds easily erratic rpm needle: the tachometer may fluctuate unpredictably due to inconsistent engine speed and combustion smoke from the exhaust: excessively rich mixtures from leaking injectors can result in black smoke coming from the exhaust pipe difficulty starting or no start: the engine may struggle to start or fail to start if enough fuel isn’t being delivered to one or more cylinders.

To whom it may concern, I am reporting a serious safety concern with my 2017 Honda Cr-v related to the fuel/propulsion system. While driving, the vehicle will suddenly stop accelerating. At the same time, multiple warning messages appear on the dash, including alerts that the driver assist system, cruise control, and brake system are not functioning, along with other system warnings. This issue happens without warning and has occurred multiple times. It creates a dangerous situation, especially at highway speeds or in traffic, since the vehicle loses the ability to accelerate and several critical safety systems appear disabled. I am very concerned that this may be a defect in the fuel/propulsion system or an associated electrical/control system that could pose a risk to myself, my passengers, and other drivers. Please advise on the next steps for inspection and resolution.

Fuel injection going bad.

My car 2017 Honda crv with 57,000 miles started having the check engine light in the dashboard and bunch of lights came on in my dashboard. I took it to the mechanic, and diagnostic was faulty fuel injectors I had to get it repaired in order to pass the smoke check. I paid $1300. How does a car with low mileage had this kind of problem.

I have had all warning lights go on disabled some options, gave me incorrect speed, (I ended up w a speeding ticket over that) made my vehicle go in limp mode ,didn't want to accelerate on highway, could have caused an accident I have a young child and was scared to even drive it. It turned out to be my fuel injectors which was very pricey and I had Honda do the repair. I have seen a whole lot of people with this issue with the engine I have which is the 1. 5 turbo. I think it should be addressed by Honda and they should really be fixing the issue at no cost especially since they know the original injectors were faulty and they changed the part number. Hope it gets addressed on behalf of hundreds of thousands of these vehicles and not so happy Honda customers.

All dash lights come on. Has cylinder misfire. Did some research it seems like is related to the fuel injectors. Honda dealer wants to charge me 4300 for changing fuel injectors.

2017 Honda Cr-v with 132118 miles has intermittently been experiencing all dash display alarms activating at the same time for past 25k miles. (ie) hill start assist, brake system problem, power steering system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, etc. . . This also disabled the lane keep assist and cruise control features on the car. Dealership ran diagnostic and found code p0172 indicating fuel system too rich and confirmed with a failed air/fuel ratio test. This indicated the car needs complete fuel injector replacement.

The vehicle's all safety warning lights are turning on. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealer for diagnostic testing, who reported that it requires new fuel injectors at a cost of $1,700. 00. In researching the issue, it appears that this is an ongoing problem with multiple 2017 and 2018 Honda crvs.

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.

Fuel injectors have failed on this car 2x before it has hit 120k miles. First was at 50k ish. Honda will not acknowledge this as an issue, even though it is an extremely common issue with all of the 1. 5l engines on civics, accords and their other cars in this engine type. My mechanic has checked the service records and the most common issue with these cars, and this is a super common issue, always requiring fuel injectors to repair it. Car idles very very badly when started, and should not be having all of these issues on a well-maintained 8 year old car. It causes a check engine light to appear and an “emissions system issue” warning to appear on the car. It’s only been 3/4 years with the 2nd set of injectors (which were replaced under my optional extended warranty on the car, purchased through Honda). But I was not warned that this was a common issue until going to an independent service technician when my check engine light came on. I.

All the dashboard warning lights come on. They will turn off at short intervals, but then come back on. I took the car to the dealer in 2024 and they diagnosed it as rear tire sensor problem. Paid over $800 to have this replaced and all the dashboard warning lights came back on the next day. Went back to the dealer and they then diagnosed it as bad fuel injector and quoted repair at over $1,200. We did not have the injector replaced as they could not guarantee fixing the fuel injector would turn the lights off as this seems to be a common reported problem in 2017 Honda crvs. Over the past year the dashboard warning lights would come on and off at random intervals. Over the past two months, along with all warning lights remaining on, the car has now started to stall within the first 5 minutes of driving it. Due to the stalling, we took the car to an independent mechanic who followed the Honda service bulletin and did a full tune up on the car but all dashboard warning lights remain on and the car continues to stall at times.

Fuel injector malfunction in 2017 Honda crv ex. Getting all the warning lights. Mostly it shows emission system problems.

I started vehicle and all warning lights on dash popped up and began scrolling through/flashing. As a vehicle owner, I was startled as it was unsettling to see all the warnings pop up. It appeared every safety feature/component on the vehicle was compromised. I immediately contacted the local Honda dealership as they suggested diagnostics were needed. Dealership invoice states "diagnose check engine light - pull codes, diagnose to failure". Dealership invoice further states "tech verified concern. Tech scanned system for codes and found code p0301 stored for misfire cylinder. Tech ran air fuel test and failures came back on cylinders 1 and 3. Tech diagnosed to failing injectors, recommend replacing". After doing some research, it appears this particular vehicle has a history with similar problems. I have a product update letter from December 2018 which refers to the p0301 code. In addition, I have a warranty extension letter dated July 2019, which refers to the same issue and the p0301 code. The letter states that to ensure confidence in the product, the powertrain warranty was extended from the original 5 year/60,000 miles to 6 years with unlimited mileage from the original sale date. Unfortunately, my vehicle is a 2017, so although I qualify under the mileage I do not qualify under the 6 year time frame. The current mileage on my vehicle is 56,000 miles.

Failed fuel injectors. This is a common issue in many 2017-18 crvs with numerous complaints. This is a safety risk as it has caused a forced shutdown of numerous safety features including: all anti-collision systems, lane departure sensing, traction control, etc the problem has been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? yes were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no.

My 2017 Cr-v (~$80k miles) will randomly fire every system or warning alert on the dashboard. This includes vital or important alerts like brakes, check engine light, tire pressure, etc. There has been no way to reset it, and it persists through car restarts, system reboots, and driving. The first time this happened was [xxx], and I was able to reset it. However, it has returned a month and a half later ([xxx]) and there has been no remedy or reset that has worked. This issue is extremely dangerous, as it completely mitigates the safety features put in place for this vehicle. With all of the system warnings misfiring and no way to reset or check which are legitimate versus a complication, I am putting myself and others at risk if I drive. I will not know if there is a true issue with a tire, my engine, my brakes. . . I need my car but am wary of driving it now to keep myself and others safe. It also makes some features inaccessible (I. E. , cruise control). I conducted further research prior to taking it to the dealership to better understand the potential cause and what could be done. After conducting that research, it seems this is a very common and fairly well-known issue. I have linked one of several forums demonstrating the scope of this issue. Example forum: [xxx] the system misfires are being diagnosed as issues with the fuel injectors, and owners are getting told to replace those fuel injectors to remedy the issue (cost of which equals around $1,400-2,200). Few also report that following installation of new fuel injectors, the issue has come back. Not everyone has ~$2k to fix an issue that is so common it should have already been addressed by Honda.
