general problems of the 2019 Honda CR-V - part 1

While driving on a winding, two-lane rural mountain highway, I came up behind a slower vehicle. When a designated passing lane opened up, I pulled out to overtake them. The driver ahead safely slowed way down to let me pass, so I applied normal, moderate acceleration to complete the maneuver. Mid-way through the pass, the vehicle suddenly suffered a catastrophic loss of motive power and entered "limp mode. " simultaneously, the entire dashboard lit up frantically with warning alerts indicating that virtually every advanced driver assistance system (adas) had failed. The vehicle lost nearly all forward momentum and would barely move. Because of the immediate power loss, I spent a grueling half-mile struggling to find a safe place to pull off the roadway. I was forced to come to a stop on a highly dangerous, blind mountain corner. On a highway where traffic routinely travels at 55 mph or faster, being stranded at a dead stop around a blind curve placed me in imminent danger of a severe, high-speed rear-end collision. Safety concern & product defect:while the vehicle's programming forces "limp mode" to protect the mechanical components of the engine, the real-world execution of this feature creates an extreme, life-threatening hazard. Cutting power entirely during routine highway maneuvers—such as passing or merging onto a 65+ mph freeway—renders the driver helpless. Rather than preventing damage, this defect actively creates a high-probability scenario for a fatal high-speed accident. Honda's safety systems should not prioritize engine preservation over human life. After thoroughly researching this specific failure pattern, the evidence strongly indicates that the root cause is premature fuel injector failure—an issue that is heavily documented as a common defect in this specific engine layout. This component should not be failing at this stage in the vehicle's lifespan. My husband is a certified mechanic and meticulously maintains all of our personal vehicles!.

While driving with my 3yr old in the car multiple dashboard warning lights suddenly illuminated simultaneously (including the check engine light, emissions system warning, and various safety sensor alerts). The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of engine power, rough idling, and hesitation upon acceleration, which created an immediate traffic hazard. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership service center. The diagnostic scan revealed a failure of the fuel injectors (with diagnostic trouble codes indicating a system too rich and cylinder misfires). The dealership service advisor informed me that this premature fuel injector failure is a highly common and widespread systemic defect with Honda’s 1. 5l turbo direct-injection engines, stating that their shop actively stocks these parts because they perform at least one of these replacements every week. This premature component failure at mileage (105,136 miles) is a severe safety risk that causes unexpected engine stalling or power loss while driving.

I was driving at 70mph on the highway when the dashboard started to display a series of problem notifications (brake problem, hill start problem, power steering problem…, etc. ). The vehicle also went into “limp mode” and slowed down to 35-40mph max. This was very dangerous given the other traffic going 70+ mph on a very busy highway. Thankfully, we were able to pull over to the shoulder and bring it to a nearby car repair shop. Based on the diagnostics, they determined that the high-pressure fuel pump had failed. They are charging us more than $1300 to fix it.

This premature component failure at low mileage (54,000 miles) is a severe safety risk that causes unexpected engine stalling or power loss while driving.

The vehicle developed an intermittent crank/no-start condition and later stalled after being driven home. An independent repair facility diagnosed the vehicle before it was taken to Honda and documented no fuel pressure at the fuel rail and diagnostic trouble code p0087 for low fuel pressure. The shop advised that Honda has a known fuel-pump issue and recommended that the vehicle be taken to a Honda dealer for recall-related repair. The vehicle was then towed to a Honda dealer. The dealer also determined that the fuel pump requires replacement. The dealer advised that the fuel pump had previously been replaced under Honda's 2021 fuel-pump recall. Honda has now denied another recall-related repair based on the dealer's claim that water is present in the fuel. I requested objective testing to document the alleged water contamination and its relationship to the pump failure. The dealer provided a photograph of cloudy fuel but did not provide a quantitative water-content test. I was told that the dealership's master technician determined that the sample contained water. The vehicle has approximately 53,700 miles. The replacement fuel pump has failed with symptoms consistent with loss of fuel pressure, including intermittent no-start and vehicle stalling. The independent shop's p0087/no-fuel-pressure diagnosis was made before the vehicle was taken to Honda. I am concerned that replacement fuel pumps installed during Honda's prior fuel-pump recall may be experiencing subsequent failures that can cause engine stalling or prevent vehicles from starting.

Fuel pump failure 2019 Honda crv. Confirmed at a shop to be the problem but unsure if it's the high or low pressure pump. The car stalled out in an intersection and we had to roll out of the road to safety.

Multiple lights and warnings on dashboard of 2019 Honda crv. Warnings were sudden and all at once and included, emissions system problem, braking problem, power steering problem, collision mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem and many others. Honda service centers stated this is a very known problem with 2019 crv and it’s the fuel injectors and head gasket.

7-16-26, I was driving on the highway. All the warning lights on the dash lit up. The car dropped down to 20 miles per hour. I tried to speed up, but could not. It is experiencing an extended crank, sever stuttering and engine stalling. It has actively thrown code p0087 for low fuel rail pressure. An independent service center confirmed the code p0087. The dealership performed diagnostic test and confirmed code p0087. The component was part of recall: 21v-215. There were no other warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. My car is currently at the dealership because Honda has denied the claim. I have a 3 day free loaner from the dealership. I have escalated to Honda corp. I will need a car for longer than 3 days while I wait for the escalations department to make a final decision.

Multiple times when stopped at a stop light, the vehicle will stall and die. Car requires restarting ignition to run. A mechanic believes it is the fuel injector system (either defective or worn) that is causing these stall issues. This is a safety problem as I was almost hit several times by other cars on the road.

Multiple lights and warnings on dashboard of 2019 Honda crv. Car would not reverse. Warnings were all at once and included, emissions system problem, braking problem, power steering problem, collision mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem and many others. Honda mechanic stated this is a very known problem with 2019 crv and it’s the fuel injectors and head gasket.

The car gave a "emissions system problem" warning while on a roadtrip on June 4, 2026. The code was p219f. Subsequently (a week or so later), every warning on the car came up for every system (too many to list here). My mechanic has gone through the Honda protocol for this code (checking spark plugs, compression tests, etc) and is now at the point of replacing all of the fuel injectors. The car is very well-maintained and has low mileage (less than 50,000 miles). The car is currently in the shop as I can't drive it safely without knowing what systems are malfunctioning. The car is available for inspection and is currently at an independent service center.

Head gasket leak - 3rd head gasket. Know issue in crvs . Vehicle will not go when gas is pressed (intermittent), vehicle sporadically sputters when in idle, engine overheated.

Honda crv with less than 50,000 miles and has blown a head gasket. Cost to replace head gasket and fuel injectors is $6500 at a Honda dealership. Car is not drivable. Honda corporate has refused any assistance. There are class action complaints for this very issue in the state of CA and canada.

The low pressure fuel pump cannabilized itself and sent debris down the fuel line to the high pressure fuel pump which damaged it. I brought the vehicle to meineke of warner robins and they confirmed the issue with other Honda dealerships in the middle georgia area. Even though there is a safety recall (21v-215) for the model year of my vehicle, my VIN doesn't populate as one of the batches being affected by the recall. To be clear, the issue does match the recall notice description but is not reported as one of the affected vins.

Fuel injector was replaced part number 06160-5pa-305. It is available to be inspected and I have the failed parts in my possession. This was inspected and identified by an independent service center. Power steering system problem light on main dash alerting with break system alert. The car had been driven immediately prior with no warning signs and no alert lights on the dash and almost a full tank of fuel. Vehicle was parked and running when alerts appeared. Even though the car was in park it rolled forward when foot was taken off the brake and required the emergency break to be used. This put my safety at risk because had this happened 2 minutes prior I would have been driving in a school zone where there was heavy traffic and steering and braking are essential. I plan to take the car to the Honda dealership to have the work inspected. The vehicle has 68,001 miles on it at the time of the issue.

Problem with emissions system on my 2019 Honda crv. Car was diagnosed and recommended to replace fuel injectors. This is a pervasive problem with Honda vehicles with a previous recall for odyssey, pilot and ridgeline. Honda needs to recall any of their vehicles with this problem and fix it. In addition pervasive issues with their infotainment system which includes navigation. I have had the system go out when using the navigation option while in heavy traffic. Again both of these problems are well documented online with other owners but nothing being done by Honda to remedy either situation.

The vehicle began experiencing repeated engine misfires, hesitation, and loss of power during normal driving. The issue was diagnosed as failing fuel injectors, which is a known issue on this generation of Honda Cr-v. The failure causes sudden hesitation and reduced engine power, particularly during acceleration and at intersections, creating a safety hazard in traffic. In some instances there was a strong fuel odor, raising concern for a potential fuel leak and fire risk. The injectors failed well before normal service life and required replacement. Honda has not issued a recall for many affected vehicles despite widespread reports of similar failures across multiple model years. This defect presents a safety risk due to possible engine stalling, loss of power, and potential fuel leakage.

The fuel injector valves started leaking resulting in a p0172 rich fuel mixture diagnostic code. When fuel injector valves leak gasoline into the engine oil it can cause an engine fire, severe damage to the engine and catalytic converter. My daughter was driving the car when this happened which makes me very upset that a known safety issue has not been addresses by the NHTSA or Honda. This effects millions of crvs which is why Honda is fighting a recall and why the NHTSA must step in and fine Honda and force a recall. The potential for engines catching on fire should result in an immediate recall. When I talked to the Honda shop manager he told me that he is seeing several crvs every week with faulty fuel injectors and quite frequently bad catalytic converters. This is a well-documented problem which makes me wonder why nothing has been done.

All fuel injectors need replaced due to a known Honda Cr-v issue. Error code went off. Mechanic did a test and said there is a known issue with Honda having fuel injector issues and it's all over the internet. I take care of my car. These should be on recall.

The fuel system is leaking from the top of the tank. Same problem that is happening to already recalled vehicles.

Shortly after parking car in garage and with garage door left open for ~ five minutes before closing, a strong fuel smell filled garage [where there are no other fuel sources]. Thoroughly inspected floor, on hands and knees, under car and there was no liquid on the floor. Toxic fuel smell unsafe for humans. Dealer could not duplicate issue yet said fuel mix ratio was out of specification yet just short of the tolerance to illuminate engine service light. No other inspections have been made. Many online forums show 2019 Cr-v owners with same symptoms and that Honda is investigating.

All the warning lights randomly turned on while driving. I took it an independent mechanic and a Honda certified dealership, and both produced the same diagnosis, a replacement of fuel injectors. P0172 and p0301, p0302 the symptoms, noises, lights are all consistent with tsb19-037, which applies to 2017 and 2018 Honda crvs. From online forums that have experience the issues around 60-80k miles, my crv having 72k miles is consistent with the failed fuel injectors.

Idling rough code popping up p0172 dealer said it could be fuel injector bank 1 is to rich.

My 2019 Honda Cr-v, which has the 1. 5 liter turbo engine, with 78,000 started up with the dashboard lit up like a xmas tree and reported approx. A dozen faults of all safety features epb, lkas, emissions, etc. It was diagnosed by lester glenn Honda in wall, NJ with oil dilution caused by the leaky fuel injectors. The mechanic noted tdc p0172 - system too rich & p0301- cylinder 1 misfire and all fuel injectors failed a/f test. This vehicle had its fuel pump replaced earlier this year pursuant to the Honda recall for this (wondering if related). The same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not included for my 2019 model year even though it's the same 1. 5l turbo motor and there are numerous complaints from customers on the same exact issue. I was quoted over $2300 since it was past the warranty period (8k miles past the extended 7/70k emissions warranty that would have covered this 100%). Not only is this premature failure of critical engine component making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of powers, it produces a safety hazard of a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. This is a significant expense for a defect Honda is already aware of. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be fully covered by Honda, along with any related systems affected by this issue. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 Cr-v models and issue a recall. I have not had it repaired yet as I asked the dealer to contact Honda corporate and ask for a goodwill/good faith warranty.

Dealer inspected my 2019 Honda Cr-v on 12/18/2025 and informed me that 3 of my 4 fuel injectors need to be replaced. When the problem occurred, my safety was at risk, and others could have been put at risk because the vehicle stalled and smoke came out, indicating something was burning. I visited the dealer for this problem because they replaced the defective/recalled fuel pump in January 2025. The smell of gas, stalling, and smoke indicated fuel problems associated with the original fuel pump recall. No warning lamps or messages or any other symptoms of the issue before the failure. This came out of nowhere. I had the vehicle serviced by the same dealer for an oil change during the thanksgiving week, and the dealer did not report any issues to me. Shockingly, my vehicle is not on the recall list, since this is obviously a Honda defect and nothing I did. The car has low mileage, only 26,000 miles, and fuel injectors failing with this low mileage is unheard of. Shame on Honda for not fixing this for free and sticking their customers with a high repair bill since the car is out of the original warranty period, and an extended warranty was not put in place by Honda for this VIN. I contacted the Honda corporate office to open a reimbursement case, but they said it could take months for a decision because there are so many consumer complaints. Please open an investigation into the failing fuel injectors to make Honda responsible for their defective cars.

Multiple warning lights on including engine system, cmbs, electric parking, electric power steering, rdm and adaptive cruise control warnings caused by fuel system too rich. Either fuel injector not properly installed or issue with fuel pump. As per service bulletin 19-032, this is issue with fuel injector but VIN lookup not showing my VIN for recall and warranty repair. Please do needful.

My 2019 Honda Cr-v exl has all dash warning lights on, and the diagnostic code causing the issue is for fuel injectors. Upon my research this is a very, very common issue with this year model. It is an expensive one, at that. I was driving when all warning lights came on, and my car lost power in the middle of a busy highway and would not accelerate. The car sputtered and lost power and the warning lights all come on simultaneously. I could have had a wreck because of faulty manufacturer parts that because of the expense, Honda refuses to admit are the problem and replace for the safety of their customers. As for the fuel pump recall, every single time I call my local dealership, they tell me the fuel pump parts are on back order!! I just want the faulty manufacturer parts on my car that I pay for, fixed.

On November 14, 2025 my 2019 Honda Cr-v, which has 1. 5 liter turbo engine, with 60,400 miles was diagnosed by williamsburg Honda with oil dilution caused by the injectors. The mechanic wrote "engine is running rich, falied cyclinder a/f test in cylinder #2, random misfire detected in all cylinders. . . Engine oil is fuel fouled due to failed fuel injector. " on November 17, 2025, williamsburg Honda replaced the injectors. On 3 February 2025, this vehicle had its fuel pump replaced pursuant to NHTSA 23v-858.

All the dashboard warning lights came on. The car became shaky, wouldn’t go above 10mph. All safety features were turned off. I couldn’t go up a hill. Eventually I just parked it and had it towed. I tried a hard reset thinking maybe a glitch. Didn’t help.

I am reporting a severe safety defect involving the engine and fuel injector system that began two months ago at ?108k miles (now 109k miles). I have not yet taken the vehicle in for service due to the estimated high repair cost of $2,900. It is critical to note that the same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not fixed for my 2019 model year. This indicates a persistent manufacturing or design flaw that warrants an immediate investigation into my model year. The defect manifests regularly, causing a cylinder 2 misfire (p0302) and making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of power. This creates a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. More dangerously, when the misfire occurs, the vehicle instantly disables critical driver assistance systems—adaptive cruise control (acc) and lane keep assist (lkas)—without any advanced warning. This malfunction is an unreasonable safety risk: crash hazard: the unprompted power loss and concurrent disabling of safety features create an immediate, dangerous situation. Fire hazard: the persistent misfire strongly suggests a failed or stuck-open fuel injector, which causes fuel dilution of the engine oil. This contamination can lead to engine failure or, critically, a fuel leak onto hot engine components that poses an extreme fire risk. I urge NHTSA to investigate why this defect persists and to mandate a comprehensive recall to protect the public from this ongoing, life-threatening safety risk. The failed component may be available for inspection upon request.

Injector failure.

•what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? othe component that was identified as the issue was the fuel injectors had a leak, causing them to not get enough fuel. •how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? oi was told by the dealership that if not fixed, the leak would get bigger over time and could cause the engine to stall. I was told by the dealership that they were seeing more and more of these cases and had replaced the injectors on a year-old model the prior week to recommending the replacement for our vehicle. •has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? oi took the vehicle into our local Honda dealership to have them diagnose the cause. •has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? ounknown •were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem before the failure, and when did they first appear? othe car would flash various warning lights, not pointing to a single system. Then it would stop for a few days, only to pop up again a day later.

The vehicle took a long time to start, was shaking and all warning lamps were on the dashboard. I took it to a Honda dealer and the code was p0087 fuel rail pressure too low. There was a recall for the lower pressure fuel pump, so they replaced it, but they are also claiming that the high pressure fuel pump needs to be replaced and is not under a recall. I see there is a a recall for 2023-2025 models, but not my vehicle (2019). I will be stuck with a $2,000 repair.

To whom it may concern, while driving my 2019 Honda Cr-v awd ex, multiple warning lights suddenly illuminated on the dashboard, including the check engine light, vsa (vehicle stability assist), tpms, and collision mitigation system. This has occurred multiple times and appears to be a well-documented issue among other Honda Cr-v owners. The dealer diagnosed a faulty fuel injector system (code p0172 – system too rich) and recommended a full injector replacement. This issue matches known cases addressed under Honda TSB 19-072, but is not currently covered under a full recall. The sudden illumination of all warning lights, combined with reduced power, is a serious safety concern as it may cause loss of control or delayed response in critical traffic situations. We have been quoted between $1,200 and $2,500 to repair this issue, which is a significant expense for a defect Honda is already aware of. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be fully covered by Honda, along with any related systems affected by this issue. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 Cr-v models and issue a recall. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards,.

The fuel injectors on my 2019 Cr-v need to be replaced at 68k miles. This is a known issue with recall. While fuel injectors are not "safety" items themselves - when there is a fuel injector issue (as has been reported here on this website and other websites a significant amount of times), numerous safety features of the Cr-v are disabled by the issue directly related to the fuel injector issue. A listing of some of those safety related items that are disabled by the fuel injector problem are: - adaptive cruise control - collision mitigation - road departure mitigation - vehicle stability assist - hill start assist - electric parking brake - tire pressure monitoring. Additionally, some Cr-v's have reported being put in limp mode while on the highway, which very well could be a safety related issue; especially to younger and older drivers not used to a car suddenly going from 60mph to 25mph and they have to make split second decisions to safely pull over.
