general problems of the 2019 Honda CR-V - part 2

I was driving slowly yesterday in a parking lot area and the electrical system on my 2019 crv touring sent messages that the brakes, power steering, and engine were shutting down. I lost some power steering capabilities and the brakes were not working normally, but were partially working. I called the dealer who was nearby and they said if I could drive it, to try to get to the dealership. I was less than a mile away, so I was able to drive it very slowly without complete power steering. I was told that all of the electrical signals and shut-downs were due to a fuel injector defect and that I would need all fuel injectors replaced. I have had my Honda regularly serviced without missing any needed service appointments. Prior to the electrical system shut-down yesterday, my Honda was on a recall list for a new fuel pump, which was incorrectly installed, had to be reinstalled a second time, only to find out from Honda that they had made an error and should not have sent me a letter that my Honda was under a recall for a defective fuel pump. The electrical issues began to surface soon after the second fuel pump install (the reinstall due to incorrect install the first time). It also needs to be noted that my car cabin smelled of gas for several days after the fuel pump installs, and if I fill up my gas tank to full, the cabin of my car has a gas smell. My battery immediately died shortly after the second fuel pump install and it was only approximately 2 years old. The screen where my indicators are will frequently shut down for no reason from time to time, but then will come back on. Yesterday was the first time that all systems sent warnings that everything was going to shut down, and the steering and brake systems were compromised. My family and I have concerns regarding the safety of this vehicle at this time.

When at highway speeds, steering “sticks” requiring extra effort to initiate a correction. This extra effort often results in an “overcorrection” and “lurching” of auto. Has not been confirmed by dealer, but seems to be worsening since first noted. No warnings lamps. No additional inspections.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure recurred. The contact also stated while driving at an undisclosed speed the steering wheel became difficult to turn. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel felt stiff while attempting to make a turn and the contact started to lose control of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact heard a loud creaking sound coming from the steering wheel while attempting to make a turn. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the power steering assist needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

My 2019 Honda crv began having power steering issues in mid 2024. The harder I turn the wheel in one direction the more the power steering pulls in the exact opposite direction. This results in the wheel needing to be held tightly during turns to ensure it does not forcefully turn the wrong direction. My local Honda dealer says the problem is with the rack and pinion and it needs to be fully replaced. There has been no warning light indicating the problem, and the problem only started recently after getting a strut replaced.

Driving on the highway I eased to the left to change lanes and the steering wheel felt stuck. Once I turned a little farther it freed making the car oversteer to the left lane. There were no lights or warnings, and it has been doin the same thing since. The Honda dealer said my rack and pinion needed to be changed, but the problem is widespread and there are no parts available. This to me is a safety issue and I believe Honda should have a recall on these cars. Thank you.

First noticed minor sticky steering issues about a year ago (July 2023) took to mechanic for diagnosis (August 2023); no codes detected steering became more difficult as months passed by took to mechanic again for diagnosis (January 2024); no codes detected checked into open recalls (January 2024); none found did research on similar issues; found NHTSA listed numerous complaints about 'sticky steering' leading to Honda bulletin (23-037) for Honda civic gearbox NHTSA and Honda expand investigation into 'sticky steering' issues to include Honda Cr-v and Acura integra as more consumer complaints are received about two months ago (may 2024), started noticing/hearing a grinding noise coming from behind the steering wheel every time wheel is turned (even slightly) steering now sticky daily when driving above 30 mph recently, almost got into an accident when wheel got stuck when turning July 23, 2024; took to ed napleton dealership in oak lawn to get diagnosed based on research diagnosis: 99 power steering eps gears assembly.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was sticky and made an abnormal sound. Additionally, the message "lane departure steering required" was displayed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the electric power steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered to partially cover the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

The steering sticks and gets stuck. I have to turn the wheel so hard at times, the vehicle wants to veer into the other lane. I could hit another car or drive off the road. Occurs at high or low speed. I have taken the vehicle to the Honda dealership and they confirmed "electronic steering rack assembly internal malfunction. The dealership Honda of sarasota florida indicated this is very common problem. The issue is so common the part is on nationwide back order from Honda. The vehicle is unsafe to drive and the repair estimate is $3826. No eta on parts.

The steering wheel is not turning smoothly when slightly. Steering sticking when slightly turning side to side. Sonda service suggests replacing eps rack assembly. $3100.

For about the last 6 months, we have experienced the "sticky steering" during every drive. I did not realize other Honda crvs have been having the same issue, although it appears most reported model years have been newer than our 2019 model. There have been no "check engine" or warning lights on the dash. We have had a few experiences of the crv being difficult to maintain within the lane while driving, although luckily no accidents at this time. We took our crv to the Honda dealer who was able to experience the steering issue of our crv, and acknowledged the current solution is to replace the steering gearbox assembly, which was quoted at $3500 (labor included), and the gearbox assembly is on national backorder with no estimated time of being available. To make the situation worse, the dealership requires a full payment upfront of the cost for the part ($2500). This steering gearbox issue is a huge safety concern, and without an estimated time of remedy, our confidence in Honda at this point in time is not the highest.

*this car was parked in the driveway 2 days without being driven before the following incident* also- there are recalls for this make and model. Honda always said that the recalls do not include my car. Recalls should be expanded to include mine since the car is un drivable at the Honda service center. What happened: alarm went off on car in driveway. Horn constantly going off. Smoke came out around steering wheel and inside the vehicle filled with smoke. All lights came on dash. Gears were locked up and had to manually put in neutral to get on tow truck. Car is at Honda dealership in cumming GA. Said I needed steering wheel cable, srs unit, safety restraints unit, & brake boosters. They put parts on. Did same thing to them as it did in my driveway. Horn & smoke & all!! now they say it needs steering wheel & the harness is on back order until August 28! and that my VIN # is not on the recall but I believe it should be. This car could have caused a fire and was parked beside my house. My family and I were at risk and almost called police and fire department. Newborn baby, & other family members inside the home. Family members disconnected the battery because horn was so loud. All these repairs are headed towards $9000 & this is insane. This is my only vehicle. I must have transportation!.

The rack and pinion in a 2019 crv with 52k miles is already broken.

I was driving on the highway last week and my steering kept sticking. It’s like having to constantly adjust and you can feel the steering stick. Now it’s happening even in town while driving. I reached out to steve padgett Honda in irmo SC and they said it’s not a known issue. I beg to differ. I decided to google to see what might be the problem and was overwhelmed by all of the information I have found. Including the fact that it is a known issue to Honda. I think it’s dangerous! ty for any help.

Steering is "sticking" when driving above 35 mph which requires some effort to overcome and when it "unsticks" results in over correction. Also makes an audible noise when "unsticks" first noticed a year ago. It subsided but now has returned and is worse than before.

My car is having sticking steering and creaky noise when it turns. I googled this online. They have over 500,000 cars with the same issue. I went to get it checked out they want me to pay $3400 to get this fixed. I believe this is a major safety issue. Steering sticks at high speed very scary. The parts are on backorder, which leads me to believe there’s multiple cars having same issue. What I read into this is that Honda is more worried about the profit versus the safety of their consumers and their loyal consumers. That is over 500,000 cars with the same issue. Honda should be fixing these for charge. I have an injured in this car. It is the only one I have to drive. Before they fix it. I think they should fix it for free because it’s obviously a defect and 100,000 cars and therefore their liability to protect their customers. When you call her number, they talk about safety. They don’t give a dam about safety they only care about making a profit.

Issue: at speeds above 40 miles per hour there is resistance in the steering wheel. Although the resistance is in a narrow range, it increases with speed. Steering issues may cause a safety hazard. Dealer diagnostic: local Honda dealer performed a diagnostic and test drive and confirmed the resistance in the steering wheel. The dealer recommended replacing the electronic power steering (eps) gear box with an estimated cost of $3,770. It is my understanding that the 2017 and 2018 Honda crvs were under a recall for this issue. My vehicle was manufactured in January 2019, and it had 34,435 miles when the dealer preformed it review on August 20, 2024. The Honda recall might not have completely correct the problem, and it should include additional model years.

Steering wheel sticks when turning, can overpower it but it is not right. Other people on the Honda forums have reported the same.

The steering rack is malfunctioning, causing the steering wheel to have notchy feel and a clicking sound. Problem has been reproduced by independent service center. No warning lamps.

After using the lkas at 36,300 miles I observed stickiness in the steering wheel. I drove it for awhile but the stickiness makes it difficult to steer and could cause an accident. I took it to the dealer and now at 37,000 miles it needs a complete rack and pinion steering assembly at almost $4000 dollars. I have been driving cars since the 1970's and this is the first steering issue I have encountered. You would think that steering would be a system they have mastered by now. I also know that slightly older Honda crv's (ie, 2018 model year) have been recalled for an issue like this due to improper heat treatment of the gears in the rack and pinion system. My guess is that the same parts in that model year are also in the 2019 model and it should b added to the recall as well. This system should not fail at only 37,000 miles.

Steering binds when making slight steering corrections.

Car has a steering problem. After driving for a while at highway speeds, the steering "catches" or is "sticky" where it takes extra effort to make even minor adjustments. The car has been doing this for approximately 10k miles (one year) and is making us nervous about taking any long road trips at highway speeds. The car is out of warranty and the dealer is indicating the electric power steering unit is probably at fault, but will not honor a safety replacement and will charge approximately $3500 for replacement. . This certainly should be honored as a recall safety problem.

While driving the car at highway speed the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power to all essential functions. The engine shutdown and there was no steering and loss of some of the brake functions. Multiple warnings started showing ( too many to list here ). The car came to a stop partially in the highway and we experienced several near misses by passing vehicles before we could get enough assistance to push the vehicle out of the roadway. Since this incident a simple search has shown that this is a very common problem with this vehicle. It appears that it could be a problem with the computer software. This problem has a very high potential for serious injury or death when it occurs while driving at highway speeds. Please look into this issue as soon as possible.

Starting at just over 36,000 miles after the last time I used lkas there is now a stickiness in the steering. Light catches that almost seem like the lkas is still trying to correct. I can overcome the catches, but makes the steering less comfortable than it should be and worry about worsening issue. Will be taking the car in for service but have seen may issues related to steering on this model of car, so wanted to make sure all complaints are noted by NHTSA. No warning lights are showing.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the messages " emission system problem", "brake system problem" , "tire pressure monitoring problem", "brake hose system problem" and "power steering eps problem" were displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle did not experience a mechanical failure. The contact stated that he had stopped driving the vehicle due to safety concerns. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

I live in puerto rico. I was just quoted $3,000 for new rack and pinion. Vehicle always maintained correctly and almost new, not even 5 years. Honda knows that this problem with the rack and pinions exist and is a safety concern and issue. Other three vehicles in the dealer repair shop with the same issue, one of them with only 900 miles. Other customers had to pay full price. Honda knows about this problem, a recent recall for civics was announced for their rack and pinions. Many rack and pinions have problems and Honda has not recalled this part for crvs. I change engine oil every 3,000 miles with high quality synthetic oil. Honda original filter. Changed transmission oil every 30,000 miles and coolant as well. This is a safety, a costly part the Honda knows is faulty and should be recalled immediately. I'm a customer that bought this Honda crv-touring expecting the quality and reliability that Honda has claimed. Today I received the news of a gas pump recalled, and a prematurely faulty rack and pinion. This is just unbelievable. I'm writing in the hopes of some good news from Honda to replace my rack and pinion before an accident happens. I'm still paying for this vehicle. Waiting for your prompt response, alejandro figueroa.

The steering wheel clicks and increased effort is needed when turning the wheel to stay in a lane and/or going around a curve.

In November of 2023, I started having a noise in the front end of my 2019 Honda crv. I took it into the local Honda dealership and was told that I had a bad power steering rack. They replaced the steering gear box. I was concerned that a vehicle with only 34,000 miles on it would have such an important component break so soon. I looked on carcomplaints. Com & saw there were multiple reports of the same thing occurring on other same year, low mileage cars. There were reports on the same website that indicated some had actual problem when steering. I reported it to american Honda, they were responsive, but I did not know that this was the group that needed to be alerted to the problem. So, I am addressing it now. Thanks for your time.

Steering has become intermittently "sticky" in the last year. The vehicle has 12,000 miles on it. The dealer says the eps steering rack is the cause and needs replacing at owner's cost.

Eight months ago while returning home from a road trip my steering began acting strange. Seemed sticky. Not smooth. I disengaged the cruise control but the problem was still there. After returning home it was not as noticeable unless I drove a minimum of 10-15 minutes. . Then I began hearing a clicking sound coming from the steering wheel and when driving on an interstate for about 20 minutes the effort to keep the steering wheel from sticking to the left or right becomes very tiring. A constant battle. The problem is getting worse and more pronounced. I disengaged the lane departure feature but it didn’t improve anything. I’ve recently taken the vehicle to the Honda dealer and I now have to replace the steering rack at a cost of $3500 before tax and front end alignment. I am waiting for a steering rack to become available as there is a nationwide shortage at this time. My dealership is familiar with this problem as they get daily complaints of this issue. I will not be driving this vehicle on my planned summer vacation until it’s fixed. I don’t feel it’s safe. The effort to overcome the stickiness in the steering wheel becomes very exhausting. I can’t imagine driving several hundred miles in this condition. Frankly, I’m not certain it’s even safe to drive any distance as I worry it may one day lock up.

The steering has been "sticky" when turning and has gotten increasingly more difficult to turn and has been not operating correctly, meaning you don't know if you are going to need to overcompensate or under. We took it into the dealership for the fuel pump recall and they couldn't identify the problem. We told them to keep it for a day or two and keep trying. My wife went in and did a test drive with the foreman and he said the power rack steering and the sensors were failing and it would need to be replaced. The service advisor said it was fine to drive as my wife had a conference three hours away, but after having the car back for a week it had gotten noticeable worse with creaks and clicks when turning in particular. I called and spoke to the service manager and he said that he would not drive it to the conference, so it is basically unsafe to drive at this point as we don't know when it will fail or what kind of accident we could get in while driving it. There were no lights or warning to indicate the failure and as I said, the technician and service advisor at first couldn't identify the problem, but we are all in agreement that the steering is failing.

2019 crv after recent service (may 2023 63,000 miles) we had oil change/tire rotation. We noticed about a week later the car would make a clicking sound when turning to the left and the steering wheel would stick where it wouldn't move. We called the dealership where all service has been performed. We brought it in on the 19th of June and 2 techs and an advisor said they drove it and could not duplicate the problem. We drove off and first turn that was made the clicking sound happened and the steering wheel would stick in place. I was asked to bring in back in after complaining that it was still having the same issue. Within 30 mins I was told the power steering rack would need to be replaced at a cost of $3,110. I said this car is 4 years old and it already need 15% of its value in repairs? I am still paying on it. The dealership just said this is what is wrong with it and this is how much it is to repair. I called corporate Honda and told them I didn't believe this was something that should be tearing up at 60k miles. They talked to the dealer and said they will pay for 60% of it but I'm still on the hook for $1400. Looking at other complaints here it seems this should be a recall and covered by Honda. I advise everyone to buy an extended warranty because this is not part of the powertrain. The replaced part is only covered for 12 months 12,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became very stiff. The vehicle was parked at the residence. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started the following day, there was a clicking sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic steering gearbox had overheated, and that the steering rack assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,054.

The steering on this vehicle became -?sticky-? and requires extra force to pull it from the center position. This little bit of extra force causes overcorrection of the vehicle making it unstable and unsafe. Dealer wants $3500 to fix a premature and unsafe electronic steering issue . Vehicle has not been crashed or damaged in any way. I have contacted american Honda but they will not fix the problem, answering( sorry, but your vehicle is out of warranty) . Problem has been reproduced by dealer, no warning light on vehicle.

Electric power steering fails when parking (dry turning when vehicle is stopped). The electric power steering seems to overheat, once moving power steering resumes. This has happened multiple times prior to this report.
