general problems of the 2018 Honda CR-V - part 1

My 2018 crv was taken to dick ide Honda for a recall on my fuel pump. The next day I was driving my car and it just stopped running and I drifted off to the side of the road. It would not start up but had power in the car. No warning signs or lights. I had it towed back to dealer that just worked on it and they stated that they did nothing wrong and and now they need to do a system check / diagnosis at $185. 00 an hour to see what is wrong with it. My car worked fine before the dealer had it and now it doesn't work. And they are going to charge me for diagnosing it. I don't feel comfortable or trust that they have checked my car for whatever mistakes or faulty parts they may have used and my safety is in jeopardy.

After we had our car serviced for the two recalls on the car, all of the check engine lights came back on again a little over one week later. We took it back to the dealership today and were told the fuel injectors need to be replaced, and they said this is a "common problem. " we have been researching this issue and it is a common problem, so why isn't there a fuel injector recall? our car has less than 54,000 miles on it but Honda is saying we will need to pay over $1700 for new fuel injectors, despite that this is a known problem.

"fuel pump issues directly cause injector system failures". Today Honda assured me than the fuel pump recall could not interfere in the injector system, that's totally false now I have to changed injector system and spark plugs to my own expense. On Monday 6th of April 2026 showrd engine light as well as stalling when driving on Monday 30th of March ac comprrssor smoked, also need to be replaced.

Multiple warning lights were turning on then turning off in their own, typically 2-3 days later. However while on, all adas showed errors and did not work. Most recent time, had an elevation changed (over 6000 ft), lights came cascading on parked safely. Next morning, car would not accelerate/was extremely jerky. Turned off waited turned back on, while lights were on car felt to be running fine. Slightly off sounding idle. Dtc showed multiple misfires and error codes with a recommendation to replace fuel injectors. Dealer was surprised given relatively low milage (109000 miles) for this issue to occur.

Head gasket failure diagnosed by wittmeier Honda in February of 2026 chico CA. Car was initially throwing misfire codes, battery, fuel pump, then fuel injectors were replaced. Took it back to the dealer because car would sputter, dash is blacking out and I'm unable to indicate the speed at which I'm traveling, white smoke from exhaust, misfire, poor gas mileage, car nearly stalling in intersection. Car has been having this issue or possibly other issues contributing to this for nearly 25-30k miles. It is important to note that fuel pump was recalled in this model, car performance has significantly declined over the last 25k miles. This car is well maintained as in; regular oil, changes, transmission flushes, rear differential fluid change, tire rotation every 5-7k miles, brakes and rotors changed nearly every 30k front and back, fixing all issues as they arise. I say all of this so that there is a clear picture of the car maintenance and the issues it is having despite the proper care. This car has had several issues from about 150k miles. In my opinion this is premature for a car this well maintained. Though this car has had several issues over that past year I will put the most pressing and scariest date, the time it almost stalled in an intersection.

I went out to the garage for something and heard what sounded like the fuel pump running. I know there was a recall with the fuel pump relay/module and I'm concerned it was either not repaired correctly or there is still an issue.

My 2018 Honda Cr-v (1. 5l turbo) has a confirmed fuel leak dripping directly onto the starter motor, creating an immediate fire hazard. A Honda dealer (inv #1273851) diagnosed codes p219c and p219d, which are explicitly covered under Honda service bulletin 20-038 for a 150,000-mile warranty extension. Despite the vehicle having 131,528 miles, Honda corporate is refusing to honor the warranty extension, claiming my VIN is not affected, while ignoring the documented failure and the dangerous safety risk.

While driving approximately 70 mph on the highway, my 2018 Honda Cr-v suddenly lost engine power and rapidly decelerated. At the same time the check engine light began flashing and multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, including the abs warning light. I was unable to accelerate and the vehicle would not restart after the loss of power. I attempted to guide the vehicle toward the shoulder for safety, but the vehicle was rear-ended shortly after the power loss occurred. The vehicle has since been declared a total loss by my insurance company. Approximately two weeks prior to the incident I experienced intermittent engine sputtering while driving. No repairs had yet been performed at that time. After the accident I discovered that my vehicle VIN is associated with an open fuel pump motor safety recall (exp2) that had not been remedied prior to the incident. The suspected component involved is the fuel/propulsion system related to the fuel pump recall, although this has not yet been confirmed by inspection. The vehicle is currently in the possession of my insurance carrier and may be available for inspection upon request depending on the insurance process. The vehicle has been inspected by insurance representatives following the accident. The sudden loss of power at highway speed created a significant safety risk because the vehicle could not maintain speed with surrounding traffic and could not be restarted.

"while driving my 2018 Honda Cr-v (mileage: 58,800), the vehicle experienced a sudden and total loss of power/stalling due to a fuel injector failure. This failure caused the vehicle to enter 'limp mode' on a high-speed roadway, creating an immediate risk of a rear-end collision as the vehicle could not maintain flow-of-traffic speeds. My wife and I was just getting on the highway when this occurred. Research indicates this is a recurring manufacturing defect in the 1. 5l turbo engine (referenced in Honda TSB #22-002 and similar internal communications). This is a critical safety issue as the fuel system failure is unpredictable and occurs without prior warning, leaving the driver stranded in dangerous traffic conditions. Honda has not yet issued a safety recall for this VIN despite the widespread nature of the injector defects. ".

Steering pulls and clicks at highway speeds. Engine misfire due to faulty fuel injection issues.

Midway my drive, all dashboards lights started. Took to dealership, they performed a/f ratio test and “vehicle failed as all injectors are running rich. ” dealership suggested I need to replace all fuel injectors and would cost $2000. Found this is an issue with lot of 2018 crvs but my VIN was not covered under extended warranty that was provided to others crvs with identical issues.

This vehicle is haven issued with loss power at any moments not matter the speed can lost power at 25 miles per hour and can lost power at 55 miles per hour do to head gasket issue I contacted american Honda they say they know about the issue because the turbo engine have high pressure issues they refuse to repair or get a solution for this even if more than 1,000 people have been complaining about the head gasket on the turbo engine vehicle with the problem from people the I know 2017 to 2022 Honda crv and according to and civic and some few Acura mdx.

After my last oil change on October 29, 2025, I began noticing a persistent gasoline smell outside the car. Concerned, I took the vehicle to prince Honda tifton and explained the issue in detail. They inspected it but reported no leaks and said everything looked fine. However, the odor continued. Starting December 1, 2025, I began smelling gasoline inside the car, with a particularly strong odor when starting the engine. I believe this poses a serious health risk and a potential fire hazard while driving.

I first noticed an issue with my car on October 16th. All the dashboard lights came on as if the car had a new battery while I was driving. My Honda dealership said: explanation: fuel system too rich due to faulty fuel injectors. Repairs to be completed: replace fuel injectors, gaskets, spark plugs all suggested repairs were done because I need a car the cost, $2,557. 28 I filed a case with Honda corporate and they said it was due to my car's age and linked to maintenance. I've always had my crv serviced at Honda dealerships and my car is only a 2018.

Defective feel pump causes all lights on the dash to turn on, and also causes the car to stall/misfire. When you try to accelerate. We've had this same problem over and over again even after the recall that supposedly fixed the issue.

Hi I have been trying to take care of fuel pump related recall for a while and went to millers Honda nys reg r- 4040274 3 times and every time I realize there is problems with vehicles safety features and acceleration and it won’t pass inspection. Few times it felt like as if vehicle would stop in the middle of the road because I couldn’t accelerate. Recently I was charged almost 1500 dollars for a problem they should have fixed in 2023. In 2023 I attempted to make a complaint with the dmv and they temporarily fixed the problem and it would come back time to time. Please help and investigate.

Failed emissions with code p0172 (system too rich) at 69,000 miles. Warning lights then appeared on the dash for almost every vehicle system, including brake system problem, brake hold system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, power steering system problem, tmps problem, stability control problem, and others. Upon inspection, the problem was determined to be with the fuel injectors which needed to be replaced.

High pressure fuel pump failed , could smell gas in air vents. Honda claims it’s separate from its other recall for a fuel pump. Car had been working fine, sudden issue, all lights came on , car started to stutter on acceleration. Had to be towed. No issues prior.

At around 88,400 miles my enging light came on saying I had an "emissions problem. " shortly after the emissions problem was being signaled, several other lights came on including, abs problem, adaptive cruise control problem, electronic break problem and several others. I took my car to a Honda dealership's service shop to have a dianostics test run. According the the report the "check found code p0172 fuel systtem too rich. " "performed a/f test, cyl,1,2,3 failed too rich. " and they recommended replacing the injectors and I opted to have it done by them. When asked if that seemed ealrier for fuel injectors to go, the service rep said yes that they typically last the life of the egine.

Fuel pomp defected 2 misfiring cylinder.

Shortly after purchasing car I started getting all the error messages showing after I started the car and they would remain on sometimes it repeatedly happened. I brought it up to dealer several times during and in addition to maintenance and they told me it was not something they could replicate and found no issues. I was told it was the battery but it still happened after battery was replaced. On 07/17/25, with only 137000 miles on the vehicle, the error messages all came on again and the vehicle stalled at a stoplight. It would not shift into gear. Vehicle was towed where they had to replace engine valve cover gasket and the timing chain. The replaced parts listed: rtv gasket, cam chain tensioner, tensioner filter, 2 cam chain tensioner arms, cam chain guide, vtc ex actuator assy, vtc in actuator assy, flange bolt, cam chain guide b, oil seal, chain, and and new oil. I know this is a known issue with the engine in this model and not an uncommon issue that Honda has refused to admit.

I am submitting this complaint due to repeated and unresolved safety and performance issues. Beginning in mid-2023, the vehicle experienced multiple system-wide failures, including: -all dashboard warning lights illuminating intermittently without cause, sometimes for days. -sudden failure to accelerate after stopping, including stalling in intersections. -engine running rich with repeated check engine light activations. On two occasions, the vehicle stalled in the middle of busy intersections, once with my one-year-old child in the car, posing a serious risk to my family and other drivers. The dealership replaced the a/c control unit (June 2023) citing it as the cause of the system alerts, but no improvement was seen. The dealership then diagnosed a faulty vsa unit, quoted $2,500, but never ordered the part or followed up. A third-party shop (mr. Tire) diagnosed a faulty ecm, which the dealership ignored. In September 2023, dealership recommended replacing the fuel injectors, which I paid for out-of-pocket (~$1,000), which resolved the warning lights and stalling. However, ongoing problems persist: the air conditioning system is no longer cooling effectively, despite prior repair. The car also feels underpowered when accelerating or starting, with weak engine revving compared to when the car was new. While no current warning lights appear, the performance is noticeably degraded. In April 2025, the vehicle’s fuel pump was finally replaced under Honda’s service bulletin recall after being on the waiting list for the parts for nearly 1. 5 years, but these other concerns remain unresolved. I am submitting this complaint because: the stalling incidents created serious safety hazards in live traffic. The vehicle has experienced repeated systemic failures that align with known issues reported by other 2018 Cr-v owners. Despite multiple dealership visits and significant personal expense, the vehicle has not been restored to reliable and safe operating condition.

The fuel injectors all need replaced at 63,000 miles. Honda stated that other Honda crv of the same year are getting them replaced under warranty but stated that our VIN number is not included. Even though it's the same make, model and year of other Honda crv that Honda has issues warranty for bad fuel injectors.

When vehicle starts it shakes for a few seconds then is fine. When I drive and give it gas my car stutters and feels like it wants to shut off. On the highway with acceleration the check engine light comes on blinking and the car loses power. The codes read misfire I replaced the sparks plugs and coils 4 time already just for it to do it again a couple months later. I read this is a common problem and unsafe Honda needs to do something.

The fuel injectors got totally clogged and did not run correctly after. They could not be unclogged and had to get new ones. I needed to get the fuel injectors replaced. Every warning you could get on your car came up so that everything was flashing and I could not figure out what the problem was without going to the mechanic.

Vehicle threw codes p0172 and p219e. Vehicle was sluggish and idled rough. All lights on the dash flashed and showed that most safety systems were disabled. Vehicle was taken to Honda service center and confirmed by the dealer. Dealer replaced the fuel injectors. Vehicle was less than a year out of warranty for this specific issue. This seems to be a common issue with this model of vehicle as the service center had the same model with the same issue that day.

A fuel pump installed in my car on April 25 2025 due to the recall. The new fuel pump has rattled loose.

I received a recall notice for this vehicle. When I called my nearest Honda, leadcar Honda, in yorkville, NY, they stated that they could not get my vehicle in for recall repairs until August of 2025. I called in March of 2025.

The 1. 5l turbo engine in my 2018 Honda Cr-v is experiencing oil dilution. Raw fuel mixes with the engine oil, lowering flashpoint and thinning viscosity. This creates a fire risk, loss of lubrication, accelerated engine wear, and potential stalling. Honda issued tsbs, but the problem persists. This is a serious safety defect.

There was a recall on the fuel pump which houses the fuel filter which led to faulty fuel injectors, after speaking with Honda mechanic I was informed that they are aware that there is an issue with injectors but no recall has been issued yet. The fuel injection issue would cause the car to lose acceleration and speed. Also an unknown electrical issue is happening with the car, battery has had to be replaced 3 times in the past three years, Honda mechanic is unable to locate the issue.

Fuel pump module improperly molded impeller. Manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, I thought car manufacturers were required to fix safety recalls within 1 year. This recall came out 12/18/23. 1/25/25 I finally received a letter that parts are now available for repair. When I call the dealership to schedule a repair they tell me the parts are on back order and I am on a list.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the car had everyt warning light come on the dashboard- this happened multiple times to many people it's been widely reported online. Honda is covering it up and not doing anything about it. . . . . Every safety feature in teh car ceases to work! and does not operate- the car stalled in the middle of the highway! Honda is aware and hiding this issue. It's affective 2017-2019 crv. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes! I took to the dealer and they're aware of it. . . They said there is no recalls yet. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Honda is supressing this! were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no!.

There’s an open recall on the fuel pump for this vehicle, and Honda refuses to address the recall. I’ve been in contact with Honda, and they have told me they refuse to the fuel pump until the vehicle breaks down. So effectively Honda has diminished the value of my vehicle and refuses to fix it.

This is with reference to 23v-858. I own a Honda Cr-v 2018 model. I got first notice about open recall of fuel pump module back in December 2023 follow by couple of other reminders but whenever I called Honda dealership, they said part is not available. It's been more than a year now, I got another notice that part is available and to call any Honda dealership to schedule a repair. But now when I called my nearby Honda service centers, they don't have a date available for appointment in next 30 days. I am really worried of driving it further as this looks to be an issue with fuel pump or engine. Pelase help me file a complaint against Honda for this inconvenience and help me get this repair done ASAP.
