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

Ref: NHTSA recall # 23v-858 recall of fuel pump received February 2024 and as of today (October 2024) replacement part(s) not available nor can the Honda dealer (Honda on grand, elmhurst, IL) advise or even give an estimate of when the parts will be available. I truly feel that Honda/mfg has been provided a "reasonable" amount of time to deal with and correct the situation. Vehicle has had no symptoms to date but tick tick tick - if/when symptoms do occur it may likely place occupants of the vehicle in a perilous situation.

I am writing to report noncompliance with the fuel pump recall for 2018 Honda crvs. I was unable to find a place to report such noncompliance, so I ask that you refer this complaint ot the appropriate enforcement unit of the NHTSA. Since the recall was announced last spring, I have on three occasions asked my Honda dealer/service provider (Honda of princeton) when my fuel pump will be replaced. Each time they have said that no fuel pumps are available and have added that there is not really a problem and that if my fuel pump malfunctions, they will replace it immediately --- which of course goes against the spirit of the recall, which is to avoid preventable accidents due to fuel-pump malfunctioning. They have been giving me later and later dates for a replacement fuel pump, and it appears that compliance with the NHTSA recall is in an ever receding future.

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.

When you turn on the car, all warning lights come on, all error messages that can be displayed are displayed, and safety features become disabled. The systems resets after you turn the car on & off at least 5 times but the issue always reappears. Error codes p0172 & p219c have been detected during the issue. The dealer replaced the fuel injectors to remedy the issue.

All system failure lights are on , emission failure, brake system, brake, hold system,power steering, vehicle stability, hill start assist, adaptive cruise, collision mitigation, road dept, electric parking. These lights stay on for a few days then turn off. Was able to get to dealership to have codes read. Determined to be fuel injectors need replaced at cost of $1800.

American Honda sent me a letter notifying of recall for fuel pump issue in February of 2024 and a followup letter in may 2024. I called you on September 27, 2024 and was told to call american Honda. I called them that day and was told parts would probably be available in late October or early November. I called them again today and they transferred my call to a local Honda dealership (penske on 96th st in indianapolis). The dealer indicated they had trouble getting parts from Honda and to call back in a month. This issue has been know for nearly a year and Honda has done nothing.

There are actually two issues that are going on with this car. First off, on three separate occasions, while driving at 70 mph on the freeway in traffic, my car has braked for me and the collision warning went off. However, there was nobody in front of me. The person behind me almost rear ended my vehicle on the last occasion this has happened. Now, my car is undrivable. Three times, all my sensor lights went off. The first time, we changed the battery, thinking the battery was dying. The second time, we took it to affordable autobody in murrieta, CA. They ran a diagnostic and stated that we did not reset the computer when the battery was changed. The third time all the sensor lights went on, we took it to dch temecula, CA. They ran a diagnostic and said that it was the fuel injectors. Our mechanic stated that the fuel injectors are going bad due to a bad fuel pump. My car has been sitting at the dealership for more than a week, undrivable. We contacted claims department, but no action has been taken. Dch temecula states they have no available fuel pumps and will not fix the injectors unless the claims department orders it. I have left without a loaner car, stranded. Nobody seems to be taking this seriously and there is no time frame as to when this situation will be fixed. It is becoming a huge inconvenience not having a way to get to work. Please help!.

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 on the highway (freeway) vehicle stall , went to a suddenly almost complete stop, risking to be rear ended by the car behind us.

American Honda states they do not have parts to address my 2018 Honda crv lx fuel pump problem. Our local Honda dealer charlie's Honda augusta, maine does not have parts available to them, so they say. However, my mechanic was told by a number of Honda parts dealers that they do have the parts but are not allowed to sell them (illegal) to anyone but a Honda dealer. Also, charlie's Honda and lee Honda auburn, maine say they must charge me for $150 for an engine diagnostic before they will look at my vehicle. So, I had my mechanic install a delphi 2270n fuel pump assembly for $700. This recall has been open since December 2023, winter is coming and I want a safe vehicle to drive. I feel that Honda has engaged in deceptive practices and has become another boeing. I would like to recoup any monies that I can from Honda for this repair since american Honda and charlie's Honda have proven to be less than cooperative. Also, american Honda will not remove the recall against my vehicle without paying for a $150 engine diagnostic fee at charlie's Honda after my car has been fixed and is running well. I think NHTSA needs to allow non-dealer mechanics to do repair work on recalls, charged back to the recalled vehicle manufacturer and the auto companies need to make sure the non-dealer mechanics have access to repair parts. I have contacted american Honda and Honda motor CO. - japan.

Charlie's Honda (augusta, maine) and lee Honda (auburn, maine) have told me that they require an upfront diagnostic fee of $150 in order to put my car in line for a new fuel pump motor, which they don't have. Why should I pay a penny for a recall problem that Honda created using substandard materials in my 2018 Honda crv lx. I had the fuel pump replaced by my mechanic richard beaulieu of beaulieu's upright auto repair, augusta, maine 04330. He tried to purchase the fuel pump motor from Honda parts distributors, which he was told they have in stock but can't sell them to anyone except a Honda dealership. So, we had to settle for an after market delphi p/n 2270n fuel pump assembly $709. 99. All I want is for Honda to cover the new fuel pump cost, for a problem they created. Honda USA called me today that unless I visit a Honda dealership and pay their diagnostic fee that they will not clear the recall flag on my vehicle. Talk about highway robbery! I have an open NHTSA complaint number #11609831. I trust my mechanic for diagnostics more then Honda's. Why issue these safety recalls if it's only a money grab for the dealerships? winter is approaching and I don't want to be left stranded side of the road with Honda's defective fuel pump. My car is running fine, actually better as it idles more smoothly and has better acceleration.

Since my Honda dealership (charlie's motor mall) has no recall parts and doesn't know when they will get them, I had our mechanic order the part from Honda to replace the recalled part. No Honda dealership or parts distributor are allowed to sell this part. So, I have asked our mechanic to install an after-market fuel pump instead. Honda sounds like they are breaking the law. How can they order another business that has the parts in stock not to sell them? winter is approaching and all I want it is a safe vehicle to drive. Our local Honda dealerships (charlie's motor mall and lee Honda) state there is nothing they can do without doing a $150 diagnostic on my engine. Shouldn't this work be covered by the recall? this sounds very dangerous to have an identified vehicle problem and not having it fixed ASAP. So, I am having the new after market fuel pump installed and will be forwarding the bill to Honda for reimbursement. Honda needs a trip to the woodshed!.

Fuel injections failed on 65,000 mile 2018 Honda crv. They had been cleaned recently and followed all Honda recommended maintenance. This failure has been repeatedly reported as it's impact 2015-2018 Honda crv owners. This should be covered and recalled.

Vehicle started to run erratically as I was merging onto highway and all the dashboard lights were illuminated. Vehicle would not accelerate past 25 mph. Pulled over and turned car off and back on. Was able to accelerate and go a few more miles before car decelerated from 65 to 25. Got off highway and drove vehicle back home. It did it one more time, while on a back road. Took it to mechanic and diagnosis was two failed fuel injectors. Vehicle is less than 6 years old and has 95,000 miles on it.

Issue: car loses power while driving. Event: started car, drove down a hill about 1. 5 miles. Tried to accelerate, lost all power, cel started blinking. Limped car to safe location but could not accelerate over 5 mph. Next start, all vehicle warning lights flashing on dashboard. Code reader threw a p0310, p0300 (engine misfire). Problem reproduced/confirmed by independent service center. Preliminary diagnostics (swapped ignition coils and spark plugs 1&2 to 3&4, reinspected, misfires still on 1&2) suggesting possible fuel injector faults. Recommended working with Honda directly for further diagnostics because fuel injectors are replaced as an assembly and often require programming by a dealer, also problem seems similar to recall issue. Concern: vehicle has 42,000 miles; fuel injectors should not fail at this mileage. Received a Honda safety recall letter in February 2024 NHTSA recall number: 23v-858/Honda campaign number kgc. Called Honda after unsafe driving event (loss of power while driving). Honda stated that the recall for my VIN was rescinded. However, the problem seems very likely related to this recall.

All warning lights in vehicle come on. Says car engine is hot but it is not. None of the power systems work. Nothing is wrong with the vehicle. Buying top tier gas fixes the problem.

I have received a recall on my car last year, and I called multiple dealership to see if they have any parts available, then said they don’t have any parts. So I have to wait for the Honda letter to be notified that if the parts are available. But now I am experiencing engine hesitation recently and I am very worried about it becomes a safety issue, so I called Honda of seattle and lynwood Honda again and told them this problem, but they still keep saying that they don’t have the parts and they can’t do anything for me.

While driving on highway , I attempted to accelerate to pass , as I did all warning lights came on and I lost ability to accelerate. The car went into “limp mode “ . Took it to local mechanic, the to Honda dealer . I was told I need a new engine , at a cost of over $16k .

The component that seems to be failing is the fuel pump impeller per recall notice symptoms description. Our vehicle is demonstrating the following symptoms: 1. Loss of drive power (when going down hill), 2. Engine hesitation while driving, 3. Illuminated check engine light (all warning lights go on and cycle through). We had the vehicle to the dealership. Even before inspection we were told that these symptoms were not related to the recall notice and were told we would have to pay a diagnostic fee of $189 as per above, the check engine light does go on but so do all the other warning lights (?!). According to our invoice we paid $189. 00 to have the warning lights fixed (but 5 days later they were all on once again).

I have received a recall notice related to the fuel pump (NHTSA #23v-858) and have been advised by Honda again today that the part required is still on back order until 2025. Is this vehicle safe to drive? if not, what remedy is available to me? it has been more than 60 days since I first inquired about the part.

This car has not been in an accident and has been routinely maintained in accordance with Honda's recommended maintenance schedule. I went to turn on the car one day - nothing abnormal had happened - and I noticed that multiple (5+) warning lamps illuminated upon starting the car, including for the awd system, power steering system, stability assist system, parking brake system, adaptive cruise control system, and others. This was on or around 1 June 2024; the car had approximately 25,000 miles on it at this time. The car appeared to drive normally. I took this to a dealership, which stated that their diagnostic computer had identified the fuel injectors on cylinders 2 and 3 as malfunctioning and running rich. I incurred approximately $2400 in replacement and repair costs at the dealership. My safety was not put at risk to my knowledge. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by a dealer. The vehicle and components were inspected by the dealership when diagnosing the problem; there were no manufacturer, police, or insurance representative inspections. The warning lamps were illuminated as above on approximately 1 June 2024.

With this report I am trying to prevent an incident from happening. I received the Honda recall notice dated may 2024 for my 2018 Cr-v regarding an improperly molded impeller within the fuel pump module. Notice stated "an inoperable fuel pump could prevent an engine from starting, cause a vehicle to lose drive power, or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury". I contacted my dealer and was told there literally were no replacement parts anywhere in the united states and none would be available until sometime in the fall. However, if the vehicle should become inoperable (possibly while actually driving it) an order for the part could be requested. Is there any way Honda can be compelled to expedite this process? this is our only vehicle and we frequently need to drive on the very crowded interstate near the phoenix area. We are hesitant to drive a vehicle we've been told by the dealer has an "increasing risk of a crash or injury".

Tried calling the advertised number on your website: 1 888 327 4236 for online complaints but its rings and stops. I have been receiving letters from Honda for a couple of months for a safety recall pertaining o fuel pump. In this period, I took my vehicle (February 5, 2024) for major servicing and my vehicle was not serviced for recall quoting "unavailability of spare parts". This month (may 3, 2024) specifically scheduled my vehicle for safety recall servicing. Got a call from the dealer again stating "unavailability of spare parts" and that they will call me. I have received a recall notice from Honda again yesterday. In effect, they are complying with NHTSA recall, however not servicing vehicles on the ground for no fault of the consumer. Given the seriousness of the problem, I fear my vehicle might just stall one day.

On my 2018 Honda Cr-v ex noticed car almost stalling when stepping on accelerator. Took vehicle to dealership and was told it was the fuel injectors failing. The dealership said it is the exact same fuel injectors that are on the 2018 Honda accord that are part of a recall due to safety concerns but that Honda has not issued a recall for the Cr-v, even though it has the exact same fuel injectors as the accord. They were no warning lamps or messages. The cost to repair this issue was $1,273. 57 to repair the fuel injectors, which I paid directly to the dealership.

I would like to trade my current vehicle for a newer model, however due to an "active recall" that will not be available for repair until fall 2024, I cannot get market value for my vehicle.

The fuel injectors caused engine ecm to set codes for missfire and cylinder inbalance. As a result of the car disabled all adas systems such as lane keep lane departure ,forward colision alerts, parking brake,cruise control. 11 different warning messages scrolled across dash. Car was diagnosed at independant import specialist garage as needing fuel injectors. Car has 82,000 miles. Garage told me this was common on Hondas and Honda had extended warranty on the fuel injectors on v6 cars ,but not on 1. 5 4cyl cars. I purchased this car new with expectations of increased safety, however when a part failure shuts these systems down it defeats that purpose. I have driven mutiple cars to 300,000+ miles and never had to replace fuel injectors. Just google crv fuel injector problems and you will see I am not the only case of this.

All of the warning lights and maintenance lights turn on at all times during driving. I have taken it to the dealer multiple times and after changing the fuel injectors, the light supposedly seemed to stay off. The day after I got it back from the dealer, all the lights started flashing again, the car stalled and lost power in the middle of the road. Pressing on the gas would not do anything. The car was essentially in neutral. I was able to turn it off and then on again and took it back to the dealer once the recall came for the fuel pump, to have the part changed. I was told they couldn’t change it, even though it was recalled, because they found that it didn’t need to be changed.

I was notified by Honda that the fuel pump on my 2018 Honda Cr-v would be replaced when replacement pumps became available. That was in may of 2024. As of this writing, I have not heard from my local dealer (Honda world, louisville, ky) or Honda corporate about the availability of a replacement.

Unable to receive fixed fuel pump despite recall since December. No dealership able to provide estimate on remedy.

Vehicle suddenly starts showing all warnings lights on dashboard, including: - adaptive cruise control? - collision mitigation? - road departure mitigation? - vehicle stability assist? - hill start assist? - electric parking brake? - tire pressure monitoring and many more.

Had cruise control engaged at 80 mph. Passing semi truck going uphill when car lost power to engine. No gas to engine when pressing gas. Was able to steer car and brake off interstate road. Turned off car. Turned on again and no warning lights on vehicle indicating issue.

Dealer states recall repair cannot be completed due to lack of parts.

I was driving on the highway at a speed of 65-70 mph. The car's adaptive cruise control was set and keeping pace. Suddenly, every light on the dash turned on with the adaptive cruise control and lane assist turning off. Luckily my hands were on the wheel and the car didn't leave the lane. Eventually, this was diagnosed and attributed to faulty fuel injectors. This seems to be a common problem with the 2017 model Honda crvs and luckily for me, ended safely. But if this was my wife or kid driving, it could have ended poorly. I still ask why is the fuel injector issue, which makes the car engine run more rich, connected to the cruise control / lane assist software that can result in a safety problem.

I am currently shopping for a Honda crv when I learned that the vehicle has an active recall that has yet to be addressed. When looking into it further and contacting the local Honda dealership, they notified me that they would be unable to handle my request for service (should I decide to purchase the vehicle) until sometime in the fall. It is currently March. Half a year is a long time to wait for repair to a vital system of the car I read so many positive things about. I called other Honda dealers in my area and received the same response for the issue. Am I crazy for thinking that half a year is a long time to wait for a fix to a problem that could immobilize my potential car every time I turn the ignition or even while I’m driving?.

Please reference NHTSA recall # 23v-858. In the remedy section of the NHTSA recall description it states, 'the dealer will replace the fuel pump module with an improved part. ' the actual recall notice states 'the replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle are not currently available but are expected to be available in the fall of 2024'! Honda lists this as an important safety recall and failure of the pump may result in a crash or injury. I'll have to drive my Cr-v for the next, at least, 6 months facing this possibility. This is unacceptable and I'm hoping you can help resolve this. Regards, jim mcgowan jwmcgowan@charter. Net.
