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

The dealership replaced the fuel pump & now numerous dash lights are on. When the fuel pump gets replaced does the recall cover the fuel filter?.

The automatic braking on our 2018 Honda crv ex-l has gone off erroneously several times. Recently was on an onramp on the highway going over 50mph, automatic braking went off for no reason, almost causing an accident in heavy traffic.

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!.

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.

Forward collision warning breaking even though nobody is in front of me.

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.

While driving without any surrounding traffic I have experienced three instances where the collision warning system will be triggered and initiate emergency braking. At this time, I have not had any collisions. However, I have ensured after each incident that my collision settings were set to the lowest sensitivity to prevent such an occurrence. However, that has not been the case and I have not been able to receive any assistance from the dealership in relation to this matter.

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.

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.

My car has regularly over the years I have owned it (brand new) hit the brakes on its own. The braking is so violent that all the contents of my car fly forward. I have had this type of braking occur when there is no obstruction in the road, no indication of a front end collision about to occur, nor lane crossings. This has happened a handful of times, less than 10, since 2018. However, my front crash detection has also triggered the brake visual and audible warning more times that I can count that were unwarranted. It has triggered on light poles on the side of the road and the centerville turnpike bridge regularly (chesapeake, va). There has also been one incident where I was braking and I was stopping in time, but the detection system decided to slam on the brakes even further. The brake pedal literally pulled away from my foot when I was already pressing it to the floor. The result of these incidents is my injured shoulder, sitting stalled in the middle of a busy street/highway, and being stunned as a focused driver. The car does not allow the driver to move right away and it can cause even more detrimental accidents.

Most recent issue occurred 10/25/23 with 2018 crv. Traveling 15-20mph and approached a metal plate in the roadway in a construction area when car abruptly applied breaks without warning and car came to complete stop, almost causing me to be rear-ended by truck behind me. This is multiple occurrence. About a year ago, same issue happened when traveling 25mph and approached a metal plate in the road with asphalt surrounding it. No cars were slowly down nor impacted by the metal plate. My car misfired and abruptly slammed on the breaks to a halt without warning, causing the car behind me to slam in his breaks, swerve into next lane and honk as he passed me. Another time I was traveling 45mph on a country road with no objects or obstacles in the road when crv abruptly braked down to 20mph and again, I almost caused an accident with the driver behind me. Other times, my crv will flash brake and beep and slow when there aren’t any objects in the road. This is very concerning.

Today, October 25 was the fourth time my 2018 Honda crv abruptly braked and stopped without warning. Today I was driving in a construction zone, and I was approaching metal plates on the roadway. I was traveling about 15-20mph when my car abruptly stopped. I was almost rear-ended by the truck driving behind me. The first time was in a construction area with a metal plate on the roadway and I was traveling 25mph when my crv abruptly brakes without warning and stopped. Again, I almost got rear-ended. The car behind me brakes hard and swerved I to the other lane to avoid a collision and then honked at me when passing. Other times I am driving on the roadway, traveling 40mph when my car abruptly brakes but there isn’t an object in front of me. I’ve called the dealer and made an appointment for 10/26/23 to see why my crv forward collision mitigation is misfiring. The technician will drive in the construction zone. I’ve driven in the same construction zone without any previous problem-today was a misfire. What if I’m driving at freeway speed of 65-70 and my crv brakes suddenly without reason? this is a serious situation-with fatal consequences. My dashcam may have picked it up. I haven’t checked.

When I drove at around 4-50 mph. The car lost power, stalled and all the sensors and warning were on. I also smelled gasoline inside the cabin.

I was driving on a 2 lane highway, in the right travel lane, at approximately 60 mph. There were no vehicles immediately in front of me in this lane, however, there was a line of stopped vehicles in the breakdown lane (to the right of my vehicle), because the off-ramp was backed up onto the highway. My forward collision warning system flashed brake, 3 times on the dashboard. I took my foot off of the gas pedal, and before I could apply the brake, the car automatically slammed on the brake. My car stopped in the middle of the highway. Thankfully I was not rear ended by the car behind me. I took my car to ocean Honda of hanover, MA. They said everything is in working order, and "this just happens sometimes. " I am not able to turn off this feature! I read a report (consumer reports Feb 2022) stating that you have been notified of approximately 300 of these instances with the 2018 Honda Cr-v. There is no recall. Are you still looking into this?.

On multiple instances and most recently two days ago, the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) has triggered orange "brake" warnings or automatically applied the brakes to my 2018 Cr-v despite there being no vehicles or obstacles ahead. Sometimes, this is caused by the system apparently getting confused by flat plates on the ground (for construction), shadows, or construction markings on the road, but about half of the time, there is absolutely nothing there. Most cases just flash a visual warning with beeps, but in two cases, I have almost gotten rear-ended because the car came to a complete stop in the middle of the road while traveling at 25-30 mph. This has been going on for at least 2 years. I have tried to disable this system repeatedly to avoid accidents, but it keeps turning back on every time I start the engine. I read about an NHTSA investigation into this in 2022 but have not heard of any recalls or recommended actions for this safety issue. Thank you.

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,.

The brakes of my car activated automatically while my foot was pressing neither the gas nor the brake pedal. The forward collision alert also sounded. I was traveling at around 45 mph and was suddenly slowed to about 20 mph. Afterwards, everything seemed to returned to normal. I am unsure if this is available for inspection. There were five of us in the car and we were all put in danger due to the sudden change in speed while in traffic, however no collisions or injuries resulted from this incident. This issue has been previously reported by the NHTSA. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no prior messages or symptoms.

I was driving on the highway with plenty of distance between me and cars in front of me. My brake warnings came up (forward collision warning) when unnecessary, and my car stopped in the middle of the highway without me putting my foot on the brake pedal. It was a strong enough brake to jolt me forward in the car. This almost caused me to be rear-ended as the car behind me had to stop unexpectedly.

I completed an oil change on Saturday may 13, 2023 with morehead Honda, newburgh NY. On may 14, 2023, while operating my 2018 Honda crv all the lights for the adas illuminated on the dash board of the vehicle and continued to cycle through continously. The lights are as follow: hill start problems, collision mitigation problems, brake system problems, power steering problems, vsa problems, steering problems, tpms problem. Brake hold problems, adaptive cruise problems, electrical brake problems, brake hold system problems, road mitigation problems, emissions system problems and power steering problems I returned the vehicle to morehead Honda dealership and a diagnostic was performed. The diagnostic results were excessive fluid to injector and excessive air to brake which involves the compressor and the fuel injector. This is a clear manufacturer defect which is a safety issue. I also conducted a query on the nhsta and there are recalls listed for issue for 2018 Honda crvs, however my vehicle VIN was not included.

Several times, the vehicle will brake without an obstacle in the road. It is extremely scary - at one time, it forced me to react unexpectedly and almost got into an accident. This is scary.

I am getting intermittent braking happening on my car, slowing me down while in motion. There is no object in front on me. This is a safety issue!.

First, the forward camera failed and was replaced at cost of $1800. There were no problems with the original camera until it failed. The replacement camera has since three times initiated an emergency stop at a particular road location where there is no hazard.

Sep 25, 2022, en route from columbus, OH to wv our 2018 Honda crv started flashing a plethora of warnings regarding braking problems, blind spot failure, lane assist failure, collision mitigation failure, and many other driver assistance failures. We pulled off the interstate, into a service station, at the nearest exit. Once the car was stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic emergency brake would not release. We had the car towed to the local Honda dealership in zanesville, OH. On oct 3, 2022 the zanesville dealership contacted us to pick up the car; they had replaced a wiring harness and control module over the rear view mirror. They said the wiring had “melted”; they said they did not have the expertise to resolve all the warnings but that the car could be driven. We picked up the car on oct 8, 2022. Within 20 miles, the car was not only flashing warnings but also constantly beeping. We made it to bruceton mills, wv before stopping for gas. Again, once stopped, the rear wheels locked and the electronic parking brake refused to release. The car was towed to the I-79 Honda dealership in morgantown,wv. That dealership has master electronic technicians. That was 2 months ago and the car is still there. The dealership has been in contact with Honda, inc but they simply cannot resolve the electrical problems and are awaiting a Honda field technician to troubleshoot. This was a systemic electronics failure that incapacitated all of the electronic safety features — making the vehicle unsafe to drive.

The forward collusion warning and “brake” alert have activated several times at random intervals when no vehicles or pedestrians were ahead of me in the roadway.

There have been two situations in which the forward collision warning system has caused my vehicle to brake incorrectly. 1) with adaptive cruise control enabled, on the highway this has happened 4 times in 3 years. This seems to happen when the lane curves to the left. The car will brake unnecessarily. This has happened at different speeds between 50 - 70. I believe that the acc is sensing the vehicle in the lane to the right of me. The sudden unexpected decrease in speed is a dangerous situation. When this has occurred, I have put my foot on the accelerator to speed as quick as possible. 2) this recently happened driving on a straight upward inclined rural road. The acc was not on, traveling 35 mph.

All warning lights in addition to items checked above keep flashing and associated systems are not working placing me and my passengers in grave danger having become reliant on these systems to keeping safe. Also, the car will not shut downs unless I press the power button twice on hold it down for the car to shut off. Basically every system controlled buy the computer is not working suddenly. Checked the internet and many car owners are facing the same issues. Taking the car to the dealership tomorrow for diagnostics since I gave extended warranty. This is not the first time this has happened and previously it was blamed on a 2 years old battery.

As I have been driving on roads which have construction my car has been stopping out of nowhere and saying it was out of the lane, this has almost resulted in near 2 collisions. I fear one day I will actually be hurt or hurt other drivers as sometimes instead of stopping it jolts to the other lane. The camera in the back sometimes pops up on the screen as I’m driving and it makes it incredibly hard to focus on driving.

New jersey: while driving to work (I am a healthcare worker) at 5:30 am on route 9 north in manalapan NJ, at a speed of approximately 50 miles per hour, the brake warning light went on and the car unexpectedly slammed to a full stop. No car was immediately behind me or they would have crashed into me. My purse, coffee and book on front seat went flying to the dashboard. Prior to this event happening, the brake warning light would go off even if no one was in front of me or anywhere around me. The Honda dealership in freehold NJ dismissed my concern and said there is nothing they can do without recreating the problem. I called the freehold dealership and was told the service manager was out for a month, no one is covering for him. I asked to speak to someone else in the service department and they told me to drive down and they will have a technician drive with me to see the problem. I told them it was random and never happened before, but to no avail. I asked if I could turn off the collusion mitigation braking system (cmbs) and they said no. Just to adjust the acc (low speed follow) to long. I insisted on being seen today, but am concerned that this will happen again.

Driving on parkway at 50 mph, our vehicle began braking on its own. There was no vehicle in front of our vehicle. This occurred twice in past month.

2018 Honda Cr-v ex, especially in colder weather the forward collision mitigation system will malfunction and phantom brake randomly. When I turn on the active cruise control, sometimes it'll stop working due to the collision mitigation system malfunctioning. There were multiple incidents where it'll start braking in the high way almost causing collisions, and I would have to manually disable the mitigation system.

The cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) activated and suddenly locked up my brakes as I started to accelerate the car on the street after being the first car at a standstill at the metro tracks. Two or three seconds after accelerating, just as I had gotten over two sets of tracks, it happened. The car even jerked when it stopped at the somewhat low speed that I was going. No metro train went by at the time and no safety arm had come down while I was at the standstill at the tracks. No metro train lights ever flashed either. I could have easily been rear-ended by the car behind me because there was a long line of cars waiting along with me. I felt very unsafe driving the car to my next stop as I was in a very high --traffic area. This is why I called the dealer immediately and made an appointment for two days later. I felt even more unsafe driving the car back through the same area. It did not happen again upon my return as I went over the tracks. The problem has not happened again because I now know how to turn off the cmbs system every single time I get into the car. I do not want to chance going even a bit faster or being on the freeway and having the car come to a sudden halt. There would most certainly be grave injuries at freeway speeds on such crowded l. A. Freeways. I am so afraid of this happening that I must drive without the cmbs from now on. The dealer said that they did code checks and a dtc ? check. On my Honda service papers, they said that the possible cause could be my dash cam position. They drove my car to test it but nothing happened. In fact, I bought my dash cam for this car specifically and have driven with it in the same general position for 3 years and this never happened before. The dealer found that there were no problems with the car. No police nor insurance were ever involved since I luckily did not cause any accidents. I noticed a brake warning on the dashboard after the car had stopped by itself.

The car hard brakes unexpectedly. It has done it on the highway and city streets. It has happened multiple times and has done it randomly since I bought the car new. The date below is the most recent.

While driving the error warnings lit up the dashboard display to include brakes, power steering, and other sensors. Lost electrical power steering and had to park the vehicle and have it towed to a Honda service repair shop. Less than 38,000 miles right after 36 months of a lease. Service repair estimate $3900 dollars to replace the electric power steering box.

Believe fuel mixing with oil. Information center on car keeps rolling thru system saying things aren't working. Happened initially spring 2021 and again now oct 20 2021. Changed oil and problem went away. Initially took it to a shop for service and had code which I believe was p37 but going on memory. Took to dealer and since service had already done oil change dealer could not find problem. Happened again today oct 20 2021. At dealer now and did not turn car off so they can see code.

The forward collision sensor basically completely freaked out for no reason at all and when I applied the brakes to try to slow down and get off the road, the anti lock braking system activated and I could not slow the car down. Thankfully I was not near any other cars or obstacles or I would have been involved in an accident. I took the car to the dealer to be checked out and they were not able to replicate the issue. There were no prior warnings or messages before this happened, it was completely random and has happened several times.
