Failure Date: 09/08/2023

Driving on the freeway with my foot on the accelerator, the car lost power even thought the engine was running. The engine light came on as a static light - it was not blinking. I pulled off the freeway, put the car in park, and shut the engine off. When I restarted the car the engine light was off and I was able to accelerate again. After the first incident, I took it to a Honda dealer who replaced the fuel injectors. This did not solve the problem as it happened on the drive back from the dealers when I was again driving on a freeway with my foot on the accelerator and I lost all power, the engine was still running and the engine light came on. I pulled off the freeway, put the car in park, and turned off the engine. The car is now at the second dealer to determine the cause. My car only has 46000 miles on it and there should not be these types of uses with the low mileage.

38 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2023

On June 23, 2023, had all the dashboards' lights came on and rough running mechanicville. Honda say it high-pressure fuel pump replaced it for 1800 dollars. Then on July 23, 2023, all dashboards' lights came on again then they say it's the fuel injectors need to be replaced at 1900 dollars. All this while driving at highway speed someone is going to get killed because the car has fuel problems.

Lost acceleration while driving on major highways on three separate occasions in less than a year's time. Noticed a recall for similar circumstances on the same year and model as mine but was told by dealer that mine was not part of the recall. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed as I do not want to be in a situation where this happens again. These incidents happened in September, 2022, March 2023, and July 2023. I will put the latest date in additional details below. Please note: this is my second notice of safety concern of my vehicle. I sent a complaint to this administration on 08/25/2023 and did not receive any word or confirmation. Please confirm receipt of this information. Thank you for your help.

On three separate occasions, I was driving on the highway and lost power to accelerate causing a safety issue as I was on a fast-moving highway and had to find an exit or pull over. The three times were September 22, 2022, March 23, 2023 and July 23, 2023. The first time I had it towed to hennessy Honda in woodstock, GA. They were unable to determine anything was wrong. The second time, I pulled off the highway, waited 5 minutes and then was able to start and continue to my neighborhood mechanic, bridgemill auto repair in canton, GA. Again they found nothing to explain the loss of drive power. The third time I was able to get off the highway at a nearby exit and, again, waited for 5-10 min before starting and resuming. When I saw the recall notice on 2020 Honda Cr-v hybrid recalls, I realized this must be the issue. I brought my car to ed voyles Honda in marietta, GA near my job on August 21, 2023 to have it checked out. They said that this was not on the list of recalls, but if it happened again to bring it back to them to have it checked out. I do not want to wait for this to happen again as this is a safety issue and has obviously happened with other 2020 Cr-v hybrids such as mine. I drive 45 minutes on major highways to work daily and can never be sure when it will happen the next time if I will be able to manage to avoid a crash causing injury to me, occupants in my car, and other cars on the highway. Please advise.

My wife driving it all light come on. Take it to shop high-pressure fuel intake had low pressure. Tool cost a lot for an independent shop. Had to tow it to the dealer to be fixed. At dealer found high-pressure fuel pump was bad 1300 dollars to fix. No way a 2020 Honda with 78,000 miles.

42 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/24/2023

The check engine light on my 2020 Honda crv illuminated on 1/24/2023 7am. The dealer inspected the vehicle on 1/26/2023 and found that a TSB 02-081 applied. The issue is that radio interference in the environment can trigger a fault in the evap syatem which then triggers the check engine light to come on. Seeing a check engine light on is scary and distracting. The owners manual states to drive the vehicle as little as possible and to have the vehicled serviced by a Honda dealer ASAP. The vehicle is out of warranty and we had to pay over $330 to have the vehicle fixed. The fix entails adding a wiring harness. Adding any part to remedy a problem means that the vehicle has a design defect/flaw that Honda should pay for. Not the customer.

Check engine warning light comes one, vehicle powers down from normal speed and will not exceed 30 mpg. This is a safety hazard on the highway. Problem has been reproduced by the dealer and we have recorded video of the occurrences. Vehicle was purchased new and is under warranty. Has been in the dealer for more than 40 days combined for issue with no resolution and the dealer has received instructions from Honda USA not to attempt any further repairs. Dealer stated Honda is aware of the issues in isolated cars and are working on a fix but does not have one. Honda has been sent a written notice and contacted by me on multiple occasions, has promised call backs but has never responded. There have been multiple occurrences of the same issue with no resolution to date from Honda.

Had the very first oil change for my new 2020 Honda crv at approx 6200 miles and was told there was gasoline mixed in with my oil. The shop brought out a sample and you could smell the gas. Took to a Honda dealer and they did not find any problems. Oil change was not done at a Honda dealer. Was told by the shop that performed oil change that they have seen this problem with other Honda motors.

Crankcase fuel/oil dilution problem on Honda 1. 5l direct fuel injected, turbo engine. Upon the first oil change on our 2020 Honda Cr-v exl at about 6300 miles we found the oil level in the crankcase to be overfull by approximately 1 pint. The oil smelled faintly of gasoline and appeared thinner than normal. See attached picture. We live in a town of 22,000. Most trips around town are 2 miles each way at most, which according to Honda is part of the problem as the engine does not run at normal operating temperature long enough to evaporate fuel in the crankcase. We do take occasional trips of an hour or more each direction. Honda says this problem is made worse by cold climates, however, our winter where we live had been very mild compared to most winters when our oil was changed. Most days the outside air temp had been in the 30's to low 40's. I've been told by my Honda dealer's service manager this is a common problem and Honda has no fix for this problem. I am concerned about having proper oil viscosity. If the oil level in our Honda engine crankcase was a pint over full, that would be equivalent to a 13% fuel content since the engine only holds 3. 7 quarts of oil. That seems excessive and viscosity has to suffer allowing excessive engine wear. Honda says it will be fine. I have written to Honda corp. About this problem and have not received a reply.

Tl- the contact owns a 2020 Honda Cr-v. The vehicle began to emit a fuel like odor within the vehicle, the failure only occurred while the vehicle would be sitting idle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (urse Honda 772 barnetts run rd, bridgeport, wv 26330; (304) 842-5600) who stated they were unable to recreate the failure and therefore were not able to diagnose the vehicle. The failure reoccurred. The contact had taken the vehicle to the same dealer a total of three times however, the inspection results were the same. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and suggested the contact go to another dealership for a second opinion. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000. Gl.
