Warnings problems of the 2017 Honda CR-V

The dash warning lights all come on when the vehicle is started. Numerous warning messages scroll across the dash indicating just about every system on the vehicle is malfunctioning. The collision warning system stops working, the lane change warning stops working, cruise control stops working. I have no idea what else could have stopped working that could mean the difference between life and death. My vehicle has had this problem for almost two years now. This problem stops after disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes then it comes back unpredictably. Honda dealerships just guess what the problem is because there are no definitive error codes. They randomly want to change parts like fuel injectors, onboard computer, brakes, battery, and others, and charge thousands of dollars and will not refund the money when the problem reappears. This problem is putting drivers at serious risk and Honda has done absolutely nothing to find and repair the problem. There are hundreds of reports of this problem online and Honda has not responded. Honda dealerships are making tons of money from this issue and doing nothing to solve the problem.

Within the past 2 months, while driving the car I have experienced 2 instances with the cmbs system unexpectedly applying the brakes, even though there was no obstacles it's path.

We bought this vehicle new in 2017 and now have about 78k miles on it. Since we have owned it there have been several (at least 7) occasions where we are driving along on the highway at 35-70mph (depending on the speed limit) and the emergency forward collision braking system suddenly applies the brakes for no reason. This has happened during daylight and nightime on the open road with no vehicles or objects anywhere in front of us or close to the side of us and, on a few occasions, nearly causing vehicles behind us to crash into us because the brakes come on unexpectedly and we are unable to do anything about it. Early on, we reported this a couple times to our Honda dealer and we were told, "that can happen if there is blowing rain or snow or even a bird flying buy, it is normal so don't worry about it. " well, it is something to worry about because it randomly happens again and again, and we recently almost had a huge accident on interstate 79 because of it! what is most bothersome about this defect in design or implementation is that the driver has no way of knowing in advance it is going to happen because it is a random occurrence with no rhyme or reason behind it, and there is nothing the driver can do to prevent it or minimize its effects! please, investigate this and force it to be fixed because lives could easily be lost from this phantom braking if none have been lost yet!.

My 2017 Honda crv throws up all warning lights regarding tpms, lane keep assist, cruise, engine, etc. . . I've replaced the battery. I've taken it to the dealer and they just say we don't know what it is and we would like to hold it for 24-48hrs to do a diagnostic which is $250 out of pocket without a fix. Multiple forums state that this is a consistent problem with the 2017-2021 model years. One common fix is fuel injector replacement, but that only temporarily fixes the issue then all the lights come on again. It's a hazard and since all mechanisms are controlled by electronics, we need Honda to fix the issue or look into it as it's very dangerous to drive when dealers can't even isolate the issue.

The collision mitigation braking system malfunctioned. The car would be available for inspection upon request. After the light turned green I entered the intersection, going approx 20mph, when suddenly the car braked on its own without a car/object in front of my vehicle. I could hear the beeping from the collision mitigation system at the same time. Since I did not know the car was about to stop, I was unable to prevent my dog from falling forward and striking the dashboard. Although myself, my dog and the people behind me were at risk, no injuries were sustained. The person behind me was able to stop luckily. I will be scheduling yet another diagnostic with Honda, though I just did that a few months ago when all the warning lights came on. After the injectors were replaced at that time, they were able to turn off the warning lights. I do not believe they will be able to recreate the problem.

On July 19, 2024, I was driving around 30-35 miles an hour. There were no cars close to me either in front or the back or side. My car started to abruptly slow down in a jerking fashion and then the car beeped. It scared me. It didn't stop completely and then the car started moving normally. If a car was behind me, I could have been hit in the rear. The message "brake" did not come on which is supposed to be the first stage in the forward collision safety. This never happened before and now I feel like I have to turn off the safety feature. My 2017 Cr-v has 23,000 mi.

All of the alerts for the adas system would all come on alerting everything had failed. This had three times now over a course of a year. Once driving two while starting or parked. After two reboots of the system and a little drive the alerts go away. Also the stereo display had gone black because it lost connection. A reboot fixes that too. That’s been happening longer. Asked the dealer to check for firmware updates. They said there are five for her car after they checked it. We had it on for an oil change. They told us first it would cost 100, then they changed to almost 500 because it was 5 updates. This could be a real safety concern since you will never know if something has failed or not. If it’s their software engineers making the mistakes with coding, why do we have to pay for them updating it so it’s correct. I have no problem doing this myself, most car companies allow this, Honda will not with our 2017 even though there is a setting to do it. I just have no way of getting the files. Please help.

All of my warning lights are on. The above checklist only lets me pick 3 items total but every warning light is on. Brake hold system, power steering, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation, road departure, electric parking brake, tpm, emission system problem, all wheel drive system. My car has went from driving 70mph on the highway to suddenly going to 10-20 mph! super dangerous and this has happened 2 times. First time in March 24’ and again may 24’. The reset resolved it briefly but it returned again and again. Now all lights are on and it scares me to drive on the interstate because I don’t know when it will happen again. My safety features do not work on my car when the lights are on. I have had the codes checked and reset 2 times. Codes p0172 & p0303 were a couple codes it shows.

Driving in clear conditions in the evening, the collision mitigation braking system suddenly engaged and activated the brakes bringing the car to a very sudden stop. There were no obstacles, cars, or any reason at all for the system to activate. Nothing was in front of the car, there were no other vehicles in the other lane, there was no glare from the sun, no animals, nothing. I was traveling at approximately 45 miles per hour on a straight, smooth paved, three lane road. The brakes were fully engaged by the cmbs system for several seconds and then the alert disappeared and normal operation resumed. The dashboard "brake" indicator appeared during the incident. It is highly fortunate there was no car immediately behind me, as my sudden and unpredictable stop would almost certainly have caused a wreck.

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.

The radar sensor was stolen in July 2023. A Honda dealer confirmed this. Two representatives of the dealer indicated the sensor can be stolen in minutes without tools from the 2017 crv and Honda placed the sensor elsewhere in later model crvs to reduce its vulnerability to theft. Warning lights indicate 5 Honda-installed safety features no longer work without the sensor: adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, a collision mitigation system, a road departure mitigation system, and automatic high beams. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. When the sensor is stolen, it is sometimes yanked out quickly (my case), damaging other radar parts. The dealer mentioned above told me replacement of the sensor and repair of the radar would cost about $2700. There are unfortunately strong disincentives to repair the radar, with the result that 5 safety features no longer work: the high repair cost, coupled with the distinct likelihood of another theft given shortages of the sensor and its value, discourage repair. Further, the fact that theft claims with insurers often result in rate increases and many folks have high deductibles discourage repair. American Honda motor company, inc. Has refused to provide financial assistance despite its poor engineering having essentially caused the 2017 model theft problem, and despite Honda’s correction of this defect in later year crvs. Honda also has failed to create a “kit” for 2017 crv owners to secure the radar sensor against theft. :.

Cmbs system in Honda crv 2017 driving 25-30 mph on a clear day (sunny, dry pavement) when the brakes engaged without warning (beeping sounded, but I didn't see the "braking" sign in orange blink) car stopped hard, I jerked forward in the seat. I was able to drive the car back home (less than a mile away). There were no cars in front of me and fortunately none in the back of me so this didn't cause an accident. I'm afraid to drive the car in case the brakes engage suddenly and causes a rear end accident. I called my local Honda dealership and made first appt available 7/11/2023. This follows 2 incidents where all warning lights flashed (5/8/2023) and (6/17/2023) (including brake system light) the codes pulled were about cylinder misfire at a Honda dealer (on 6/17/2023 - cma valley Honda).

The body control module has failed. Since all of the safety features in/on the vehicle are monitored by this part is the vehicle actually safe to drive? that is the question I have posed to 3 dealers. None have been willing to say that it is absolutely safe. The part is on national backorder with no availability date provided. Can you tell me that the vehicle is safe to drive?.

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

Collision mitigation system problem indicator light causing random braking and false brake warnings.

Since 2019, my indicator lights come on all at once, and despite it going to the dealership multiple times, it has yet to fixed, and they continue to charge me for diagnostics. Research shows that many Honda owners experience the same thing. Now I'm being told it's my fuel injectors, which is baffling. They will not address this systemic mechanical defect.

11/21/ I was driving on a city street at the posted speed limit ( speed limit 25mph) and I noticed there was some road construction ahead that included steel plates on the street. There was no car ahead of me, but there was traffic behind me. I slowed and then braked slightly so I wouldn't hit the plates at full speed. Right then my car literally "slammed on the brakes" and I came to a complete stop before crossing the plates. Everything on the passenger seat flew to the floor and the car engine died. I did see an orange warning but it happened so quickly I don't recall what it was but I'm guessing it was the brake warning. Thank goodness the driver behind me was paying attention or this would have caused a rear end accident! I did not go to the Honda dealer at the time but I read about this same type of issue which I think was caused by the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs). I also read that this system cannot be turned off. It's just a matter of time before a serious accident occurs as a result of this defect in the cmbs system!.

While driving on the freeway at 65 mph, the car's brakes suddenly went on causing the car to swerve and almost be hit by another car. This is the 3rd time that this has happened in the last year.

Yesterday as I was driving my Honda crv at about 55 mph on a rural road, it suddenly stopped. There was nothing around, no other cars, animals, nothing! it took my speed down to about 10 mph in seconds, threw my groceries on the floor hard. I called two different Honda dealerships and the both told me they hadn't heard any reports of this happening, yet I did a search and found that it is an issue! the one dealership wants me to bring my car in for inspection to the tune of $139. The problem is, I no longer feel safe driving this car! fortunately I was on a rural road and not the highway! there have been no warning message or other symptoms prior to this. The forward collision is the issue. This car is available for inspection. Any other questions, contact this email: marshajean53@gmail. Com or cell: 260-350-4429 thanks you, marsha j mcalister06/.

I was driving west on s holgate, crossing the railroad tracks between 4th and 2nd, when the collision avoidance system began to sound even though nothing was in front of me. The car cas then initiated an emergency stop on the tracks. Just then the train crossing started flashing red so a car following me decided to scoot through. He was not expecting me to stop so suddenly and rear-ended my car leaving both of us stopped on the tracks with a train coming! we were both able to restart the cars and moved off the tracks in time but it was quite scary and obviously dangerous. Thankfully the collision was at 20 mph so the damage did not disable either car or cause any injuries that would inhibit us from moving to safety.

Honda sensing turns off every time there is moderate rain or snow. The radar is not blocked nor is any windshield sensor. These sensors become unavailable when they are needed the most. This has happened multiple times.

All dash warning lights come on.

We had a tire flat, then the following warning lights and alarms repeated sound for up to one minute and appear every time the car is started: brakes, brake system light, tpms light, engine check light, road departure light, electric parking brake problem, tire pressure monitor problem, emissions system problem, brake system problem, brake hole 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. Risk: is obvious confirmed by independent service center. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer. There were not any warnings prior.

Cmbs or forward collision warning system misinterpreted several times. Car stopped suddenly for no reason while driving. Nothing was in front of side of the car! it’s really dangerous to drive in this vehicle, that’s why I always turn off my cmbs feature while driving.
