Crv dashboard all warning lights illuminated including check engine and emissions system problem. I had to park my car and it smelled like gas. I immediately called Honda care and I took my car to unicars dealer on 03/11/2026 they provided a diagnostic report, report retrieved po172 fuel system bank 1 too rich and p219f no 4 cyclinder air fuel ratio variation. Despite Honda issuing service bulletin nhtda id 10220352, 10208090 and similar 22-002 for the exact same part failure 2017-2019 models, and despite manufacturer communication mc -10201454 specifically requesting failed injectors from 2021 models for investigation, Honda has refused to provide a warranty extension or goodwill assistance for this known defect. This is a premature failure of critical fuel system component that causes the vehicle to stall smell like gas, lose power unexpectedly posing a significant safety risk to the driver and others on the road. I opened a goodwill case # 16219868- after two weeks case manager said it did not meet their guidelines offered a $125 assistance. I have called unicars dealer service technician multiple times with no avail and no return calls. I finally walked into the unicars dealer yesterday 3/25/26 and made appointment to get vehicle fixed on 03/27/26. I am paying out of pocket for all repairs over $2000 dollars.
Steering is very noisy hard to drive lane departure comes on and makes car drive out of lane of traffic then brake assist kicks in and stands me on my head I have taken to dealership they can’t get the car to do it they tell me turn off all the features and drive it I feel very unsafe in it I want the problems fixed or I will call my attorney.
Took my Honda crv 2021 ex in because all of my warning lights (critical failure) were going off as I was driving. All safety features were failing including awd control, braking, sensors, cruise control, etc. They replaced the battery and tested the alternator. They reset the system and said it was fixed. I picked mine up today, drove it for 10 mins on the highway and then hit the "main" button on the stearing wheel to turn on the cruise control. As soon as I did that, all of the warning lights came on at the same time and the systems started to fail again. This is a hazard and could cause an accident at any moment. In reviewing the Honda forums, this is a massive problem with hundreds of Honda crv ex 2020-2022 models. I'm 7000 miles over my warrant and Honda won't look at it. However, it is directly their problem and my car is only 2 years old.
Dear NHTSA, there needs to be an immediate recall on this (VIN#: 7fart6h80me003035) 2021 Honda Cr-v hybrid motor nightmare. Despite proper maintenance and care, the vehicle has experienced persistent problems that stem from known defects. The engine has a fatal flaw with the head gasket. The high compression turbo engine stretches the head bolts, lifts the cylinder head just enough to blow the gasket causing coolant to leak into the cylinders and mix with the oil and destroys the bearings. Along with oil dilution where gas washes pass the piston rings. This is a widespread problem affecting this model as indicated by the numerous technical service bulletins. The issue appears to occur during the 20,000 to 30,000 mile mark where it begins to experienced recurring engine performance issues, misfires, loss of power, and excessive radiator fluid consumption resulting in premature engine wear and sludge buildup. Honda sites have pointed out: "this can happen when the car is frequently idled or driven for short commutes, which can prevent the oil from flowing properly" and my commute is a 3 minute drive and 5 minute to the market. .
