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

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.

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.

2018 Honda Cr-v ex shortly after purchasing my Honda Cr-v in Feb 2018, I noticed a strong smell of gas when I changed the oil. I found a recall bulletin regarding fuel mixing with oil and worked with Honda to have a software update (case #*******) in late 2018. Afterwards, the vehicle performed normally and has for a few years. Approximately 12 months ago every light on the instrumentation panel came on (vehicle stability, adaptive cruise control, tire pressure monitoring, collision avoidance, lane keep assist, etc) I used a code reader and found that the only hard code was p0172 “fuel system too rich”. I reset the code and it came back the following day. I reset the code again and it came back 2 months later. Since then, the exact same code has shown up at least 6 times. It always occurs while the engine is running and I am idling, not when driving. Sometimes the dash warning lights clear automatically after a few days and sometimes I have to manually reset the p0172 code with a obd tool. I have replaced the battery to ensure it wasn’t a low voltage issue, but it continues. While the code is set and all of the warning lights are present on the dash, none of the vehicle safety features work. Collision avoidance, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control. I do have an appointment scheduled with my local Honda service center for oct. 2. Reading through tsbs and customer complaints, I find hundreds of examples of this exact issue. I am concerned I will be billed $2k for a known issue with the fuel system in this vehicle. I recently purchased a 2023 ridgeline and plan to give the Cr-v to my 16 yr old son and I am also concerned about the reliability and safety systems on this vehicle. Please advise. Regards,.

All warning lights flash through and chime and it stays this ways for days then stops then starts up again. It cycles through each emergency setting including braking. Tire, lane departure. . . Not safe since you dont know if any of these are real warnings. Had it scoped and no issues showed up. Have seen many complaints but no solutions. Dangerous and annoying.

My Honda crv infotainment system is flashing on and off uncontrollably with the brightness setting and cannot stop. It is very distracting and dangerous to drive at night as the entire screen flashes on and off brightly and beeps. I have taken multiple videos of the incident and also sent it to the Honda dealership where they have not fixed the issue. They only did a factory reset and the issue still happens daily. I am aware of a Honda service bulletin 19-066 that is describing this exact issue but it is not a recall so they will not update the faulty software to fix the issue. Very dangerous to drive with this issue.

Warning lights on the dashboard are all going on at once. Something like this happened intermittently with the adas system; occasionally they would all report a malfunction. When turning off the car and restarting the car, they would go away. Now all warning lights are going off at once. This poses a safety hazard because any real problem is obscured by the cacophony of false alarms. Other folks have reported this issue.

I am writing to express my concern and disappointment regarding persistent electrical issues with my 2018 Honda Cr-v (VIN: [xxx] ). My vehicle has recently experienced multiple warning lights turning on simultaneously, including brake, vsa, and tpms. After inspection, I was informed that the issue may be related to the battery or sensor systems, even though the vehicle has not experienced any incidents or misuse. I would like to emphasize that this is a well-known issue reported by many 2018 Cr-v owners, as evidenced in online forums, service bulletins, and consumer complaints. It is extremely frustrating to be responsible for repair costs for what appears to be a design or manufacturing flaw. Additionally, I visited a local Honda dealership for diagnosis, but I was given no explanation regarding the cause of the problem and was simply asked to pay for service. I found this experience to be highly unprofessional and upsetting, especially considering the seriousness of the issue and my loyalty to the brand. Given the potential safety risks and the common nature of this problem, I respectfully request that Honda consider my case for goodwill repair coverage or reimbursement. I am also aware of an open fuel pump recall (campaign: 24-007:6fe00) on this vehicle, and would like to confirm that any and all necessary service campaigns are addressed. Please let me know how to proceed, or if you require additional documentation. Thank you for your time and understanding. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

All the warning lights come on at random times for all these components: adaptive cruise control automatic emergency braking blind spot warning forward collision warning lane departure warning lane keeping assistance parking collision warning rear cross traffic warning and the "ding, ding, ding" noise when the door is open also starts dinging. This has kept happening since we changed the battery last year. I have researched this issue on the internet and there are many crv owners in the same situation. Some taken their vehicle into the dealerships and have paid thousands for "fixes" that don't work. Your agency really needs to look into this. This is an urgent safety issue since we can't have all these warnings going on at any time and when will we know there really is a problem?.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle warning lights and audible alarms would erroneously activate. During the failure warnings for brake assist, rear camera, lane change, door alarms, etc. Had activated and the failure would randomly occur while driving the vehicle and after starting the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 79,000.

All warning lights appearing on the dashboard unexpectedly which then prevents the cruise control and other features from working. This issue comes and goes and makes it unsafe to drive. A new battery was installed but that did not solve the issue and no one has a solution. There are many websites stating this exact same problem. Different years and both Cr-v and pilots.

Just 2 months ago, when walking out to get in my 2018 Honda crv, I found all 4 windows partway down and the roof window completely open. It has happened twice since then. What is up with this?.

Today, as I was driving my automatic braking system activated without need. There was no obstacle. It was a clear and sunny day. I was driving the speed limit of 50 mph. The brakes activated so hard that if I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt I would’ve been injured. Currently my neck and back do hurt but I did not seek medical attention. This has not happened before and I have owned this vehicle for over 2 years. I have not reported the incident to my dealership yet because it is Sunday and they are not open.

Driving on freeway at approx 65 mph when the adaptive cruise control (acc) notification flashed on the dash, and the car automatically hard braked on its own, while my foot was on the gas. Only lasted a few seconds but I felt the lag and it resumed back to normal. This is my second experience of this happening since purchasing the car in February of 2022. The first time however, was at a much slower speed (>20mph), and I did not notice the acc indication beforehand. The vehicle hard braked while in traffic but resumed back to normal seconds after. I believe the brake indicator flashed on the dash the first time , despite being a fair distance behind the vehicle in front of me. The incidents were approximately 1 year apart from each other.

Turned car on and every warning light and notification came on dash. Notifications on dash tated, tire pressure monitor 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,.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the brakes lock inadvertently. Additionally, the electric brake system, the tpms, the emission, the all-wheel drive system, the brake system, the brake hose, the power steering, the vehicle stability assistance, the fuel start assist, the collision mitigation braking system and the hydro high beam warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, there was smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was then taken to dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was sludge in the engine and the turbo had blown up. The dealer replaced the turbo, rebuilt the engine, performed an oil change and an engine flush; however, the failure persisted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, schaumburg Honda automobiles (750 e golf rd, schaumburg, IL 60173), where an oil change and an engine flush were performed; however the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who informed the contact that the timing chain was loose and needed to be replaced. The contact declined the repair. The contact stated he had replaced pcv valve, the camshaft sensor and the battery himself. Additionally, the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to the ecm. The mechanic referred the contact to the dealer for repairs. The vehicle was taken to a third dealer, where the contact was informed that the engine needed to be taken apart. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and several cases were opened. Additionally, the manufacturer referred the contact to the third dealer for repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
