I have a 2018 Honda crv ex. The check engine light came on with the emissions system problem warning at times, and at other times, all warning lights came on simultaneously. At times it drives fine while one or all these lights are on, but twice when I was driving 30-40 mph, I have lost power, having to pull off to the side of the road.
Driving car on slight uphill grade a a misfire occurred causing a flashing check engine light. Throttle control was defeated by design and the car came to a stop in a lane with no shoulder and semi trucks behind me. Was able to cycle key a few times and throttle control was restored until car misfired again and same thing happened again. Talked to local Honda service department and was told that what happened is by design, to protect the catalytic converter in the event of a misfire. . This is a dangerous design flaw. There are other ways to protect the catalytic converter and still leave the car running with at least partial power. Many manufacturers simply cut fuel delivery to the cylinder that is misfiring, leaving you less power but still safe to drive. . This problem is a simple fix for Honda with a reflash. This dangerous situation was created by a simple spark plug issue on one cylinder.
Driving on the street about 50 mph and check engine light turned on then engine went limp with a maximum speed of g 20mph. Had to pull to the side turned engine off and let it rest for about 5 minutes and restarted the car and it drive fine. Went to Honda dealership had it check and they said can not find anything wrong with the cr v.
While driving the Cr-v down the country roads in my area the vehicle started to shake and loose power. The check engine light came on and while trying to find a safe place to pull off the vehicle began loosing power. With the gas pressed to the floor the vehicle would not go above five miles an hour. Finding a location to pull over. The vehicle was shut off and the engine was crackling and smelled like it was burning. Getting out of vehicle for safety reasons allowed showed that the smell was worse on the outside. The vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was deemed in operable. They provided me with a loaner; however, I am paying for a vehicle that cannot be driven. This vehicle was only off the lot for three months with less than 800 miles.
I noticed the oil level being over full in the fall of 2018, at that time we had about 6,000 miles on the vehicle. At 7237 miles I had my first oil change our dealer on October 15, 2018. I became aware of the oil dilution issue after receiving a letter from Honda regarding service bulletin 18-114. I checked the oil level and found it to be way over-filled on December 1, 2018. I visited the dealer and they advised that a permanent fix was on its way and I should wait for a formal recall, however I was very concerned about the long term affect on our car's engine so I returned to the dealer and expressed my displeasure with the delay. They called me a day or two later indicating that they would perform the recall work which was completed on January 8, 2019. I checked the oil level immediately after the oil change and found it was at the top of the orange plastic tip of the dipstick (I realize the full level is at the top hole in the orange tip). Hoping that the oil dilution issue was fixed, I checked the oil again today, February 15, 2019 after the vehicle sat in the garage all night. The oil level was found to be way above the full mark and beyond the top of the orange tip by more than ��. The oil dilution issue has not been corrected in my vehicle. I filed a complaint with Honda mc and received a phone call from a tech who informed me that "there was no issue with the vehicle and if the check engine light came on to return to the dealer". I expressed my displeasure with this response and she repeated her "canned" response. I am not the only owner of this vehicle/engine with the same issue. I request that the NHTSA formally investigate this matter as the canadian and chinese governments have and have found this matter to be real.
During cold weather operation on 01/30/2019 after ~10-15 minutes of driving (and after the engine temperature gauge indicated a warmed up engine) I experienced engine sputtering when accelerating from a stop sign in a residential area. The engine "skipped" once below 10mph which felt like a bad shift (but it has a cvt) and then once reaching ~17mph, the engine repeatedly sputtered preventing further acceleration; the check engine light began flashing while the sputtering was occurring. I was able to limp the vehicle an additional ~. 1 miles to my driveway. After turning the car off, I was able to restart the engine with no engine light on, but had the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership for further evaluation.
October 2018 we took our new c RV on a trip to nashville, TN from traverse city, mi. The check engine light came on and the oil can icon lit up. I called the Honda dealer where I bought the c RV from and they had no idea what was going on. I got out and checked the oil and found it high. I brought the Honda to a quick lube to check it. They changed the oil then sent me on my way. After arriving back home tc a few weeks later we got a recall letter from Honda. On Wednesday, December 26th, williams Honda in tc did the recall work. On Thursday my wife got in the vehicle to go shopping and the heater would not work. She called the Honda dealer and brought the Honda to them. They said that they did not cause the heater to not work with the recall repair. After doing something, the heater began to work again. This is very worrisome, we are not sure what to do next. On an earlier occasion our new Cr-v would not start as after only 30 minutes of sitting the battery was dead. The Honda dealer told us you can't leave any lights on as the battery wont last very long.
I have the oil dilution problem with my 2018 Cr-v. I bought the car in March of this year, brand new. I currently have 9000 miles and had to have the oil changed four times due to gas mixing with the oil, strong gas odor and oil over full. I have also had an issue with all the warning lights coming on at once and cycling over and over, this has happened at least three times. I contacted Honda America and was told this was a normal occurrence and no harm will come to my engine. I did not know this was an issue until the check engine light came on.
Like many other 2017-2018 Honda Cr-v owners, I discovered a significant amount of gasoline in the oil reservoir of my vehicle after normal usage. In less than a month of ownership and less than 1,000 miles driven, my Cr-v's oil reservoir was 0. 5 quarts over full due to dilution from uncombusted gasoline. This problem and its cause have been documented by Cr-v owners on multiple other websites and forums. When I pulled the oil dipstick from my Cr-v's engine, I immediately smelled gasoline and recognized that excessive dilution had occurred. I am greatly concerned about the performance, safety, and longevity of my Cr-v's engine due to this deficiency. Furthermore, I am questioning the safety of the 2017-2018 Honda Cr-v given that multiple Cr-v owners have documented stalled engines and engine damage due to this problem. I am thankful I caught this problem in my Cr-v before the check engine light came on or before my engine stalled; however, oil dilution will continue to plague these vehicles until Honda provides a long-term solution or recall.
