general problems of the 2018 Honda CR-V - part 2

Every once in a while, on a regular basis, all the dash warning lights will light up and alarm, as if every single feature of the car is in an emergency state. This may continue (every time the car is started) for days, or weeks, and then it resolves of its own accord, with no predictability. The safety issue is that if something really * wrong with one of these systems, we would be unaware of it.

Every warning light came on at the same time. Everything except the cruise control and lane assist works, eventhough the warning lights are on. There is nothing wrong when driving, the car accelerates fine, brakes work fine. Only the cruise control and lane assist are affected by all the warning lights. Took car to the Honda dealership and was told 2 of my fuel injectors are completely clogged, but I have to replace all 4 of them. Why would fuel injector issue cause every warning light to come on. My car gets great gas mileage (and has since I bought it brand new). Have read numerous forums with this same issue from 2017 Honda crv to 2023 crv's. Some have had their fuel injectors replaced and the problem comes back in a few weeks. If the fuel injectors aren't the issue, what exactly is making this happen and how do we know it won't cause the brakes and every other system to fail while driving down the street?.

I talked to other people who has the same issue with me, bad head gasket , fuel injector an vsa module going bad, I'm having all 3 issues at the same time.

Keyless start system problem. The car turns on accessory mode without the key being inside. The battery drains which triggers the anti theft alarm. The car is not able to be opened with the keyless remote. You have to use a manual key. During the day the car won't unlock or the trunk won't open unless you use the manual key to open the car and then start the engine.

My 2018 crv 1. 5l turbo with 70,000 mi. I have replaced the turbocharger high pressure fuel pump, low pressure fuel pump twice ac compressor the radio display keeps changing by itself every warning light in the display has popped on several times all at once, all this within a 6-month period also car lost power when diving on highway.

While driving all the warning lights for every vehicle system came on. I was just pulling onto a highway when this occured and was not sure to pull to the side for fear vehicle was going to have a problem, especially when the alerts for break system failure came on.

All of the warning lights go off one day, then the very next day it does not happen. This cycle has been happening for almost two straight years of “normal” driving. The vehicle is working totally fine and has never broken down because of this. Two different Honda dealerships told me that it is unsafe to drive and that the fuel injectors need to be replaced, which is a $2,000. 00 fix - which is ridiculous! there has to be something else going on to cause all of the warning lights to go off, yet the vehicle drives totally fine. It seems to me that this should fall under a “recall. ”.

I was driving my mother's 2018 Honda Cr-v at a steady rate of about 30 mph when there was a warning chirp and the car suddenly braked hard and came to a complete stop. At that time, I was at least 30 feet behind the car in front and both my car and the one in front were traveling at the same speed. I can only assume that the collision avoidance system kicked in unexpectedly. After stopping, I restarted the car and proceeded normally, with no warning lights showing.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The contact replaced the battery. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact called another local dealer, plaza Honda (2722 nostrand Ave, brooklyn, NY 11210), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

While away from home on vacation, the car alarm randomly went off for several minutes. Upon returning the battery was dead and would not start. Over the next several days this happened multiple times with the battery dying, car not starting, and the dash would light up and doors would not lock or unlock properly. Replaced the battery and again the same issue with alarm going off in the middle of the night after battery drain. I saw on the forums that the bcm is a common issue with the Honda vehicles. The car recognizes that "the start switch has been pushed, when it has not. " this poses a safety risk for the car and the individual. Remedy from the dealer is the body/keyless module replacement at nearly 800. 00. This seems to be something that Honda is aware of, but has not yet addressed.

8/6/24 confirmed by Honda dealer, steering gearbox internal failure. Need to replace rack and pinion assembly. See attached.

As soon as I turn the vehicle on, all the warning lights turn on. I cannot use any safety features of the vehicle as the lights remain on. It started a year ago however used to go away itself. But this time it is consistent for over 10 days and not going away.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, dtc: p0172 and p0300 were displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that while the codes were illuminated, the adas system became inoperable. The contact stated that the lane keep assist, forward collision avoidance, and other systems that were inoperable. The contact stated that the vehicle recently was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the error codes illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the dealer where the recall repair was performed, and a diagnostic test was performed. However, the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic and the ignition coils, 12-volt battery, and the sparks plugs were replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,500.

The following has happened several times before a repair was made: [car alarm / unable to turn on/off car. ] questions: failure. My car is available for inspection. *unable to turn off/on vehicle, children inside. *problem reproduced months earlier, and at dealership (goodyear(920-458-8306) and Honda International(920-208-0200), both in sheboygan, WI) *warning lights and messages only appeared during the issue happening, not prior. Started [xxx] car alarm goes off during inconsistent times. Then if I try to turn it on, I am unable to turn the car back off: dash lights flicker, relay is clicking several times. If I am eventually able to turn it off, I can not turn it back on, though it does try to (engine). Same symptoms as above. Eventually it seems to possibly drain the battery, and all the dash lights and relay again flicker, but then the brake pedal pushes back at me when trying to turn it back on (with no engine sound). Battery, on/off switch, and bcm were replaced to resolve(?) this issue. We will see if this continues. I am seeing many others online having the exact same problem. Side note: touch screen infotainment screen went black months prior. Pulling fuse and inserting it fixed that issue. Also, I have video, but am unable to upload here. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

All warning signs come on at the same time on the dashboard. Car repair service explained that this is a known problem with crv and suggested that I take it to he dealer. I have disconnected and reconnected the battery and this worked in discontinuing the warning signs but this was a temporary fix since same problem reappeared within weeks. This has reoccurred several times since 2024. Appointment has been made with dealer since the danger is whether warning sign is legitimate or just an electrical problem. This happens when car is first started and prior to initial drive. Does not prevent use of the car.

Several months ago, I noticed my steering wheel was sticky. While driving it is clearly difficult to turn the wheel. So I bought new tires and had a wheel alignment. The problem continues. I have just over 42,000 miles on the crv and was under 40,000 when I noticed the problem. I just took it into the dealership and was told it was gear box issue that they are aware of and that would cost me over $3,000 to fix. When I googled this, I found that there are many complaints about this issue. Honda should recognize this problem and recall affected cars.

The display will be functioning properly and then start flashing to brightness and road map gets changing display of road way. Also screen goes all black or partially black.

All electrical warnings spontaneously engaged on the panel; disabling cruise control and adaptive tools (emergency braking, lane warming, 3rd party vehicle encroachment, etc). The car drives fine. Has happened 6 times in the last 2 years. Either spontaneously resets when I turn the car off and then on, or I have to disengage the battery to reset everything.

While driving the entire driving assist system warnings started flashing (lane assist, blind spot, acc, etc. ) resulting in a solid system break light, with none of the safety features functioning. In addition to being very distracting while driving, had I not noticed the warning lights going off , I would not have known that the safety system was off. It is very easy to miss while focusing on driving in a rainy day like today. I am writing to you directly since the last time I emailed Honda about a confirmed sw bug that results in the screen going dark, they told me it is not a safety issue and requested $180 for a sw update. When your screen goes dark when you are driving after changing the brightness on its own, and you don't see the backing off warnings, or camera, I would say it is a safety issue. While I am not writing about this specific issue, I don't trust Honda to do an honest assessment. I am unaware if Honda researched this issue yet, but have seen reports online about this issue.

All the warning lights came on at once. But car drives ok.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the "brake system", "collision mitigation system", "road departure mitigation", "adaptive cruise control" and the "lane keeping assist" massages remained displayed along with an audible alarm. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,400.

Vehicle is flashing all kinds of repair needed signals. It is stalling and shutting off. It's not safe for me to drive. I'm elderly (disabled) and need to drive to get medicine and doctors appointments. The fuel pump is on recall and I can not wait until the fall to get the pump replaced. No Honda dealers have the pumps in stick yet. I need help ASAP. Thank you.

The car quit suddenly while picking up my child at school and would not start. Had to be towed to the Honda dealership due it not running. No warning sign of it having any problems, nothing. This qas February 13th and has been sitting therr for over a month now. I have contacted the Honda service department twice and they can not give me an eta on when my car will be fixed or when the fue pump will arrive and if that is the only thing wrong with my car. This is our main vehicle, I do have a courtesy car to drive but I am making car payments on a car that is not functioning.

On 2/10/2024 I was stopped waiting to put gas in my car when all of a sudden multiple lights lite up on my dash board (vehicle stability assist, vsa problems, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control problems, collision mitigation problems, road departure mitigation system problem, power steering (eps) problems, electric brake system problem, emission system problem, brake system problem, * all integral to safe driving for me. I was able to drive slowly to my mechanic and he was able to do a diagnostic assessment and it showed a code b1234 (air mix control motor circuit (driver's) short. He was able to turn all the warning lights off. I am now a little afraid to use my car long distance until I can get assured that this will not happen again. In searching the internet I find that this is not an isolated occurrence. There are multiple complaints regarding this same issue.

Display unexpectedly switches to brightness setting and then blinks off and on constantly with loud noise then goes dark, and repeats flashing noise dark etc. Controls do not stop it and must pull off if interstate and turn off vehicle and restart to make it stop. It is a huge distraction and very scary to experience. How is this not a safety concern for Honda? others have experience in what I have read. Needs to be a recall before folks wreck. You should not have to stop your car to get the flashing to quit. Would love to upload video of the experience. This happens about 1 to 2 times time a month at least. And started with about 37k on crv and still doing it at 64k. Only reported now cause I have read of others having same issue.

All of the warning lights on my dash associated with the advanced driver assistance system listed above come on and off randomly. This has happened numerous times over the last 18 months. I've been to the dealership twice and have also seen numerous complaints online. There doesn't seem to be a certain fix for the issues.

Sudden unexpected acceleration. Multiple occurences during same outing, almost caused me to have an accident . Had to hard break while engine continued to surge. Had vehicle towed to Honda dealer. They said no code set and couldn't duplicate condition. They kept vehicle 2 weeks and drove multiple times but couldn't duplicate problem. Since no code set, nothing fixed. Do not believe any diagnosis on components were done. My opinion.

The body control module malfunctioned in my crv. The alarm was going off at random and the car would start into accessory mode by itself after being shut off (after use). This is a safety concern as it draws attention to me, the driver, when parking my car in a public space. For females, this can be scary and is especially dangerous as after this the car will typically not start, nor will the doors lock, for several minutes. If it occurs in a garage, I worry about any emissions coming from the car (carbon dioxide) if the car were to start on its own, which is what was happening in my 2 car garage. I took the car to the dealer, who is replacing the body control module. I also read online that Honda is recalling certain 2018-2020 accord sedan, accord hybrid, and 2019-2020 insight vehicles due to this issue, though 2018 crvs were not included. The problem first appeared 1/6/2024, there were no warnings prior to it appearing. I had to get the battery jumped as it ended up dying and the same situation happened - I then took the car to the dealership.

See attached letter for complaint details.

Our 2018 crv touring modelm has had the dashboard light up like a christmas tree with all codes flashing. We have had the vehicle to the local Honda dealer numerous times and also to a private garage. The battery has been changerd out, the Honda dealer performed a sparkplug recall and the car continues to do this with the dashboard lighting up showing all kinds of codes. Last evening for the second time the car would not go above 10 mph. I had to shut down the engine and restart. This is very dangerous. We bought the car brand new and have had all the maintenance done. My wife is afraid to drive the car, is there anything NHTSA can do to have Honda look into this problem. From my looking into this it appears quite a few Honda crv's are encountering this problem. This is unsafe. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back from you.

I had all the warning lights come on my 2018 Honda crv. At one time the car also lost power. I have been visited my dealer 3 times, and still is the same problem!! it has happened 4 times.

I parked my car after my lunch break, set the parking brake, turned off the car, and then locked the car from the door passengers side door exterior handle after grabbing my bag (to be clear I did walk around the car, so I’m positive the car was off. ) and as always checked via the back door handle. The car was fully turned off and locked. I went to back to my office. When I left for the day several hours later I found the car still locked but now running, the parking brake disabled, but no message that the keys couldn’t be detected or that the car was in accessory mode despite the fact my keys were sitting outside of the car near the back drivers side wheel along with my bag a range too far to unlock the doors much less be a sensor for the car . The hood was hot to the touch so it had been running for a while. The keys were in my hands as I walked up to the vehicle so the keys weren’t accidentally left in the car. My only other key was home where only I have access to it. The car was otherwise undisturbed. It’s a well patrolled area and there is almost always at least one employee in the immediate area. I use the remote start on routine basis so I know even if I managed an impossible feat of accidentally hitting the remote start sequence correctly when I was outside of the range of the fob it shouldn’t still be running. As I know for a fact that my car turns off the car if started via remote start after 20 minutes and between my gas gage and heat from the hood the car had been running for a while. I was very lucky I was not parked in an enclosed garage. I did turn the car off, let it cool down, before restarting the car without issues. The only other possible symptom is the car has been randomly disconnecting carplay for several months prior to this.

The wiring harness that runs the electric lock on the back doors is faulty. I suspect it is because the wiring harness is too tight, and when the back doors are opened repeatedly it wears on the wires and eventually causes the wires to break. This means that the back door locks become manual locks. I think this is a mild safety issue because we have small children and it makes it difficult to get them in and out of the car. The problem was reported to the Honda dealership, and to an independent mechanic, both of whom reviewed the problem and confirmed it. The vehicle has not been inspected by Honda, the police, or insurance. There are no warning messages. The symptom is merely that the door lock ceases to function. This issue first appeared for us about five years after purchase of the vehicle (we purchased the vehicle new). We had the issue repairs once, and but it has happened again. When I google this issue, there are many forum posts with people experiencing the same issue (I would say it's a "known issue" for this vehicle).

Multiple engine failure codes appeared on dashboard. Took vehicle for inspection and diagnoses states code p0172 fuel system too rich. The service technician recommended fuel injector replacement due to faulty injectors. Service advisor did not file a warranty claim on my behalf despite my request to do so. When I called portfolio protection, they informed me that the technician did not call in the claim. Portfolio protection ever drive 250 limited powertrain coverage has an exception for injectors listed in the mechanical paragraph as follows: mechanical: this limited warranty does not provide coverage for service adjustments/cleaning, carburetor, throttle body assembly (except injectors), contaminated fuel system, water ingestion, air conditioning recharge, refrigerant, coolant, battery cables, belts, hoses, brakes (front hubs, drums, shoes, lining, disc rotors and pads), exhaust system, (. . . ) etc. Portfolio protection and barber Honda service advisor will not acknowledge the exception for injectors clearly stated in the contract. I took the steps required in the contract to file a claim and spoke to multiple adjusters at portfolio protection and they refused to acknowledge the exception for injectors. Honda has extended the warranty on fuel injectors for other vehicles due to faulty injectors and incorrect installation during the assembly process as stated on Honda service bulletin 22-002. This is clearly an ongoing issue with Honda and needs to encompass all vehicles.

After battery replacement done by dealership Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, horn was off, lights were on, keyless remote can not be detected, many safety system errors etc. Called road side assist, after entire system reset, everything seemed to be normal, but problem showed up again on Saturday morning. Towed car to dealership, they checked everything and turned out to be body control module problem, had to replace body control module. My car only 5 years, 55k miles. It happed so randomly, faulty locks, faulty anti-theft, and can be a huge safety concern/issue.
