July 3 2026 multiple error codes vehicle assistant, brakes, steering wheel, vehicle stability. Vehicle was stuck in park. Unable to put in reverse drive or neutral was stranded for 30 plus minutes before vehicle would shift out of park. Vehicle towed to dealership by tow truck driver who witness codes vehicle stayed over night was not looked at until the next day and Honda dealer stated no error on their end I submitted photos fir referenceand evidence. August 1 driving vehicle dashboard went black was able to pull over turn vehicle off then dashboard return drived up to dealer on Monday was told the vehicle would have to stay over night but because the dashboard was on at the time probably will not get an error code. Vehicle has been feeling like it wants to stop while driving since July 3rd. Since August 1st vehicle has been making this on and off humming noise from the ac and heater. August 27th took a video of the constant humming . Filed a case with Honda manufacturer I was told that if they can't produce the errors then I would have to keep the car and nothing they can do about it. That seems a little more like willfully putting a human life in harms way with safety issues. September 7th vehicle is at Honda to see about the humming noise and the feeling of shutting off.

At approximately 57,200 miles, the electronic power steering (eps) rack assembly failed due to internal mechanical binding. When straightening out from turns, the steering wheel sticks in place and requires deliberate manual force to unbind, creating an overcorrection and lane-departure safety hazard. The issue was confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership technician on repair order #51151, who verified the internal binding and recommended full replacement of the eps rack assembly (part #53620-tld-a03). No dashboard warning lamps illuminated before or during the failure.

-the steering wheel is sticking, especially at highway speeds, causing the wheel to jerk even on straight and smooth roads. -the problem has been reported online, but Honda only fixed 54 from NHTSA campaign number: 18v663000 -I am taking the vehicle in to be inspected but reviewing online complaints, this fix is thousands of dollars that I cannot afford -there have been no warning lights or messages for this.

Vehicle information: 2026 Honda Cr-v sport hybridcomponent: power train / hydraulic brakes / electronic stability controldescription of incident:on [date], my 2026 Honda Cr-v sport hybrid was parked facing uphill on a steep incline. I started the vehicle, depressed the brake pedal, released the electronic parking brake, and shifted into drive. Upon transitioning to the accelerator, the vehicle failed to hold its position. It immediately and rapidly rolled backward down the incline, completely overriding the hill start assist (hsa) mechanism. Despite accelerator input, the hybrid powertrain failed to deliver the instantaneous forward torque required to counter gravity. The vehicle gained rearward momentum and collided with a closed gate. Safety justification:this un-commanded rollback presents a severe, systemic safety hazard. Research into hybrid consumer data reveals a documented pattern of drivers being blindsided by the lack of traditional automatic transmission "idle-creep" torque on inclines, combined with counter-intuitive electronic hsa deactivation thresholds. The vehicle’s software logic fails to safely manage dual-pedal inputs during hill starts, creating an unreasonable risk of rollback collisions.

I am writing to formally request that Honda investigate and acknowledge a significant security and safety concern regarding the front radar module used on certain Honda vehicles equipped with Honda sensing. The front radar module appears to be easily accessible from the front of the vehicle and can reportedly be removed by a thief in a matter of seconds without requiring specialized tools. Because of its location and lack of adequate theft protection, it has become an attractive target for theft. The theft of this component is more than a financial inconvenience. Once the radar module is removed, critical driver-assistance and safety features—including adaptive cruise control (acc), the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs), forward collision warning, and other Honda sensing functions—may become unavailable until the sensor is replaced and professionally calibrated. This can leave owners without important safety technologies they relied upon when purchasing the vehicle. I respectfully ask Honda to investigate this issue, acknowledge the vulnerability, and consider implementing a remedy for affected vehicles. Possible solutions could include an improved anti-theft mounting system, a redesigned sensor location, or other security enhancements that make unauthorized removal significantly more difficult. As Honda owners, we should be able to feel confident leaving our vehicles parked without worrying that a critical safety component can be stolen in seconds. Beyond the financial burden of replacing the radar module, the loss of these safety features can affect the safe operation of the vehicle and diminish driver confidence. I urge Honda to take this concern seriously, communicate with affected owners, and evaluate whether a service campaign or safety recall is appropriate. At a minimum, I hope Honda will acknowledge the issue and work toward a solution that improves the security of the front radar module and restores owners' confidence in the safety of their vehicl.

While driving my car it will randomly go into limp mode, the dashboard lights up, and rotates through a list of issues wrong including brake systems, awd, cameras, lane assist, etc. The dealership had me pay $450 for a system update, 10 hours after picking it up the problem occurred again and my car broke down in an intersection on a country road. I had it towed to the dealership and paid $270 for a new battery because they said it failed. I picked the car up the night of 7/2/26 and today (7/6) it broke down as I was leaving work with the same error. The dealership said there is no bulletin for the issues I am experiencing and they will get a Honda tech involved.

Sudden loss of braking power on June 29, 2026, with sudden brake warnings. We had the same error after taking delivery of the vehicle in September 2025. The dealership repaired the vehicle (brake sensor). We have another dealer appointment on July 6, 2026 to repair this again. Very concerning from a safety perspective that this is occurring again.

My breaks stopped working! car was in drive and my foot was on the break and the break did not function and drove forward. I was able to stop this before hitting anything and turned the car on, but this could have been catastrophic as I was driving to work at the hospital.

Driving in the rain on the interstate and during acceleration, engine just lost all power. Recovered within 2-4 minutes. After 1 hour of driving, it repeated again. Hard rain conditions. Engine lost all power and wanted to die. I had my family with me and the first incident was merging onto [xxx] with a semi truck quickly closing onto me. Fortunately, he saw I was having issues and slowed down and gave me room. Then when it happened again, pouring rain, night time conditions and the dash lights were flickering and engine was just bogging down during any acceleration. Nursed it to a well lit gas station. Turned off and when re-started- no further issues but drove with the cel on for well over an hour. Took to jefferies Honda in roseville, michigan where they charged me $200 just to diagnose the issue, even though the vehicle is still under warranty. Provided a printout of the "results" from the computer but it only is of the "live data"- not the recorded data. Not only that but I suspect they never really checked as the mileage listed on that page does not match the mileage on their report. I suspect my vehicle is about to come out of warrenty so easy to state "no faults found" even though we almost caused multiple accidents every time the engine was failing on the interstate. Check-engine lamp flashed and went off and then eventually came on solid for well over an hour so I know data exists but I suspect jeffries deleted it when they stated "no faults found"- impossible. My wife and I were in the car and know what we experienced. Huge safety concern and now I don't trust Honda. They did not diagnose nor fix anything. Only charged me and sent me on my way. Explained when I complained that their service people may have made a mistake "with the mileage" section. I suspect they took my car out for a spin. I have the print out- why have a "mileage in/out" section if they won't use? doesn't add up. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Power and began running rough. The check engine light illuminated, and the vehicle did not perform normally. I previously had the vehicle diagnosed and repaired at a Honda dealership for this same issue. The repair was completed less than two months ago. After only a few thousand miles since the repair, the exact same symptoms returned, including the check engine light, rough engine operation, and loss of power while driving. The recurrence of this issue raises concerns about the reliability and safety of the vehicle, particularly when operating in traffic or at highway speeds, as sudden loss of power could increase the risk of a crash. The problem appears to be the same issue that was previously repaired, but it reoccurred shortly after the repair was completed.

The core failure is a systemic electrical fault stemming from a deformed, defectively installed positive battery terminal assembly (containing visible metallic debris), and an unresolved clicking electrical noise behind the dashboard. The vehicle is available for inspection. A deformed positive terminal on a hybrid vehicle creates severe electrical resistance, risking arcing, engine compartment fire, or sudden power loss in traffic. The continuous dashboard clicking—persisting even with the engine off—indicates an active short. Because the dealership allowed this compromised connection to operate for thousands of miles, the prolonged electrical stress risks hidden, cascading degradation of downstream safety control modules. Yes, but dealerships actively suppressed the records. A xxx repair order verified the dashboard noise, but said it was ac pressure equalizing. (that does not sound like a clicking/ticking/turn signal noise from behind the drivers side air vent next to the door. ) on xxx, serra Honda o'fallon inspected the deformed battery clamp. However, management explicitly refused to open a repair order. I possess written correspondence from management admitting to this "visual inspection," but intentionally evaded documenting the service visit. When I asked about the metal shavings, I was ignored. Inspected only by local Honda dealership personnel. Honda corporate refuses to acknowledge anything I have told them so far. No warning lamps illuminated, but symptoms of systemic electrical instability appeared early. By June 2026, the vehicle developed the continuous electrical dashboard clicking. This symptom of unstable power cascading through the system was documented well before I discovered the physical deformity at the battery terminal. Note: these curated videos isolate the noise. Please use headphones or turn your device volume up. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Flashing through brightness settings by itself, low through dark and runs in loop whenever sunlight hits it directly. It looks like the auto dimming is getting crazy when sunlight hits directly. Reported issue with Honda. They issued a service bulletin (19-066) to the dealers to update the radio software if cars are still on warranty. However no recall was issued and customers have to pay dealers to get it updated for a manufactures defect.

On several occasions, while driving down the road at 55 mph, the car will flash the "brake" indicator on the dash for a brief second and immediately slam on the brakes either to a stop or for a shorter amount of time. This is the third event that happened today just before reporting this problem. Our safety was at risk because there could've been someone behind us that may not have reacted fast enough and could've hit us. After the issue, there were no warning lights of any kind. There was no hazard in the road and no other obscure conditions. Middle of the day, clear skies. It is not possible to reproduce the problem in a timely manner because this has happened randomly three times over the course of two years.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a recurring issue with my 2019 Honda Cr-v 1. 5t awd ex in which numerous warning/error lights appear simultaneously on the dashboard. I previously brought the vehicle to brookdale Honda, an authorized Honda dealership in minnesota, specifically because multiple dashboard warning lights had appeared. The dealership scanned the vehicle and documented diagnostic trouble code p0172 ("fuel system too rich"). An air/fuel test was performed, and the dealership diagnosed failing fuel injectors. Based on Honda's diagnosis and recommendation, I authorized replacement of the fuel injectors and spark plugs. The fuel injector repair alone was approximately $1,790. During the same service visit, Honda also performed the applicable fuel-pump safety recall repair. I relied on the authorized Honda dealership's diagnosis and understood that the problem responsible for the warning lights had been corrected. Unfortunately, the same concerning condition has now returned, with numerous warning lights again appearing on the dashboard. My vehicle has fewer than 100,000 miles and has consistently been serviced through authorized Honda dealerships. I am concerned that this recurring condition may indicate an underlying defect rather than normal maintenance. Having numerous vehicle-system warnings appear simultaneously is also concerning from a safety perspective because a driver may not be able to determine which warnings represent an immediate safety problem. I am asking NHTSA to document this complaint and evaluate whether other 2019 Honda Cr-v 1. 5t owners have reported similar occurrences involving multiple dashboard warnings, p0172/fuel-system conditions, or fuel injector failures. I can provide the original Honda diagnosis and repair invoices, proof of repair, and photographs showing the recurring dashboard warnings.

There is a known recall for my vehicle and Honda has been negligent in attempting to fix the recall.

The infotainment center isn't working as expected: * wireless carplay disconnecting. * navigation freezing or showing incorrect locations. * music and podcast interruptions. * poor call quality. * siri stopping mid-message.

Vehicle steering wheel would eventually seize up, then snap out while driving on all types of roads, causing the whole car to jerk left or right. Happens at all speeds on any road type upon inspection from schofield Honda in wichita KS, they determined that it was the electronic power steering module that failed and needed to be replaced. A $4,949. 31 bill for parts and labor. This vehicle just hit 51,000 miles so not new necessarily, but for something to make the vehicle inoperable while driving. . . There were no warning lamps, message, anything at all and progressivly got worse the more it was driven over the span of a month.

My wife and daughter which I was driving on [xxx] stated they here a noise it was raining I thought in was the rain hitting the sunroof it was making a rattling noise. I got off the interstate and park,look at the top of the roof my sunroof glass was broken,I look for debris or rock nothing ,call the autonation Honda on covington pike in memphis,TN took the car to autonation collision in memphis they look at the sunroof glass no rock or debris and they warranty do not cover sunroof I thinking a defect once I left and going home all the sensor came on.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my new Honda Cr-v which is 6 months old. Water seeped into my parked and closed vehicle, and after that I experienced multiple hazard warning lights on the dashboard while driving on xx, which caused panic and concern for safety. The next day, the vehicle became unresponsive and the battery went dead. This was alarming because the warning lights appeared during highway driving, where a sudden electrical or system failure could create a crash risk. The vehicle had been parked and closed when the water intrusion occurred, so I am concerned there may be a defect related to water sealing, electrical systems, or battery failure. The dealer confirmed that the seal was broken and might have been a manufacturing defect. This caused water seepage. But they were not sure if the water seepage was related to battery giving electrical warnings and going dead. This uncertainty caused more insecurity as we do not know the reason for battery failure exactly when water leaked into the vehicle. Please investigate whether this issue is related to a safety defect. I request that this complaint be reviewed for any pattern involving water intrusion, dashboard warnings, electrical failure, or battery drain in this model. Vehicle information: year: 2026 make: Honda model: Cr-v VIN: [xxx] mileage: 3166 mi date of incident: 05-24-2026 location of incident: [xxx] additional details: water seeped into the vehicle while it was parked and closed. Dashboard hazard lights illuminated while driving on I-95. The next day, the vehicle was unresponsive and the battery was dead. I have photos/videos/repair records. The warning lights were flashing hazard icons and system warning lights. The vehicle lost power and had to be towed to dealership on Tuesday, 05-26. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2024 Honda cr?v. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the safety sensor became inoperable with no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the sensor failure occurred during inclement rainy weather conditions. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

Software problems causing the backup camera to become disabled and the driver to lose their rear visibility. The screen is completely blackened. This occurred without warning. One day it just went dark. On other note - I do not have access to any information appearing on the screen at all. Very inconvenient and frustrating.

All warning lamps have been coming on at random times. The dealerships have always said there is no problem. Now, outside of warranty, I am reading that it's possible that the problem is that all of the fuel injectors need to be replaced. Online notes that this is a widespread issue with this particular vehicle. I was informed that I can disconnect the battery and it resets the system and warning lamps - sometimes for hours, sometimes for days/weeks.

Body control module failed, resulting the abrupt starting of car draining the battery . . . . Engine starts but doesn't stop. Keyfobs doesn't work. Honda dealer diagnosed the issue with the body control module failure, reached out to Honda for good will assistance . . . After 10 days they were able to cover 50% of the repair cost. Remaining repair balance was paid out of pocket.

I purchase a 2019 crv at 80. 00 miles. It had problems in the first year. I was driving the car stop while was driving in a residential area with no warning sign. I have pics, the next things my rear view mirror fell down I just stop driving to tape it up, next my wire harness broke blacken my dash broad. After that my hatch back stay up it couldn't get it down I drove with it up until I got to the dealership. The service department said the little motor died. So he took the spring I can afford to pay 1200 hundred dollars. No hatch back for me unless I used it manually. Night mare lemon car, brake light keep coming on I change the brakes already. The water pump broke several senor needed fixed as well. Plus I was charge 30, 00 thousand for this car from the in columbus, TX cavender . They knew the car was bad.

My body control module (bcm) seems to have failed on my 2018 Honda crv, my first indication was my alarm going off and me being unable to enter my vehicle with my key fob. Once I manually unlocked the car with the embedded key inside the key fob, I was unable to turn off my instrument cluster or lights by hitting the start switch of the car. I then turned on the car and was unable to turn off the car. My instrument cluster reported a key fob error. I replaced my batteries in both my key fobs, and that did not fix the problem. The only way I was able to turn off my vehicle was by disconnecting the battery and removing a relay to force it to turn off. Apparently, this is a known issue, and according to many online forums, there are many people experiencing this exact issue yet there has not been a recall to address this so the cost has been placed on the consumer. My car is currently at the dealership pending a $1000 plus repair where I believe this repair should be covered by Honda in a safety recall.

While driving, car engine stutters and stops. The infotainment system went black while driving. The system is hard to steer often while turning. The trunk would not open when touching button for it to open. Took out the key fob and it also would not respond. Used the door release from dash and still would not open. Cancel the control unit then tried again and key fob worked that time. I went to dealer and it was reset, and this all happened after the reset. Car was inspected on may 6 at ed napleton Honda st. Peters. Miles 8766. Car purchased at 6500 miles. Recall srs software was performed.

All of my service lights light up on the dashboard. A few times now, my car has stopped or the gas pedal doesn’t want to work in the middle of the road when the car was already running.

Master power window control switch failed operating the passenger power window regulator. While driving, the front passenger regulator popped and the window started falling down all by itself. It happened by a glass repair company, so I asked them what happened. He said when the voltage going to the regulator is not uniform, the regulator will pop and the window will drop down. He offered to repair it for $200 including parts which I thought was a fair price. I went to a website where they tell you if any parts on your vehicle have been recalled. It did include a master power window control switch for a 2005 Honda Cr-v. So I called middletown Honda, (NY) and they said the master power window control switch was $405. My car was not included in the recall (which only included switches made in the u. K) and they would only see the car if they could get a new master power window switch. I proceeded to tape up the window which dramatically reduces visibility to the rear view mirror and to side traffic on the highway. I don't have comprehensive insurance on my car and don't want to report it to my insurance company as I am [xxx] old reducing the chances of getting insurance from another company. The airbag light has been coming on and off since this incident leaving me with another unknown electrical problem. I told middletown Honda that I would probably junk the car, but due to the car's age, they offered no comment, (the car is a 2005 Honda Cr-v ex awd). Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the vehicle lost automotive power and jolted to a complete stop. The vehicle independently restarted. There was no warning light illuminated; however, the message “brake” was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed; however, the contact was informed that no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.

My 2018 Honda Cr-v began experiencing repeated battery drain and would not reliably start. Multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle also would not shut off after the ignition was turned off, continuing to run/stay powered on. The vehicle was taken to an authorized repair facility for diagnosis, where it was determined that the body control module (bcm) had failed and needed to be replaced. The repair shop indicated that bcm failure is a common and recurring issue on this model and model year, which is consistent with numerous other owner complaints I have since found describing the same failure pattern (battery drain, warning lights, no-start condition, vehicle failing to shut off, and in some cases stalling while driving) on 2017-2019 Honda Cr-v vehicles. I am filing this report to document the failure and make NHTSA aware of what appears to be a widespread defect trend affecting this component across multiple model years of this vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue as a potential safety defect, given that bcm failure can result in sudden loss of electrical function, the vehicle failing to power off, and in some reported cases, stalling while driving.

While driving on the highway with my child in the vehicle, all dashboard warning lights suddenly turned on at once. Immediately after, the vehicle began to shake, lose power, and would not accelerate properly. The vehicle was jerking and pulling back and forth, creating a dangerous situation in traffic. I took the vehicle to a mechanic, and they diagnosed a failure of the high-pressure fuel pump and all four spark plugs. The repair cost was $1,436. This failure happened unexpectedly in a 2021 Honda Cr-v, which raises serious safety concerns due to sudden loss of power while driving at highway speeds.

Since April 2026 my Honda crv 2021 had been having issues with all the warning lights on my dashboard turning on and off. When all the lights turn on the sensors don’t function the way they supposed to and won’t alert me when I’m getting close to a car or need to make a sudden break. I took it to autozone to get the codes from the warning lights and also to Honda and both said that I needed to replace, the fuel injectors. I replaced the fuel injectors and the problem still there. It was inspected by autozone, Honda and also an independent auto shop.

On April 25, 2026, while the vehicle was stopped at a red light on [xxx] , the vehicle suddenly became inoperable and displayed multiple warning messages and warning lights. The warning messages included “brake system problem” and “auto idle stop system problem. ” additional abs/vsa, battery/electrical, and system warning lights were also displayed. The vehicle was occupied at the time, including children, and this created a serious safety concern on a major roadway because the vehicle could not be driven or safely moved under its own power. Police responded to the scene, Honda roadside assistance was contacted, and the vehicle was towed to an authorized Honda dealer. The suspected affected systems include the brake system, electrical system, battery/charging system, abs/vsa system, auto idle stop system, and related control modules. The vehicle is currently available for inspection at an authorized Honda dealer. The issue has not yet been fully diagnosed or confirmed by the dealer. The dealer advised that the battery may need to be replaced before diagnosis can continue. However, the battery may have discharged because the vehicle remained in a fault state with warning lights/system alerts active after the original brake/electrical failure. Therefore, the dead battery may be a consequence of the original failure, not necessarily the root cause. There were no known prior warning signs before this incident. The warning messages and lamps appeared at the time of the failure. A full diagnosis is pending. I am concerned that this brake/electrical/system failure could happen again while driving or stopped in traffic and create a safety risk.

5th generation (2017-2022) Honda crv displaying all driver assistance system errors (stability control, cruise control, emergency anti-collision etc), check engine light, tire pressure monitor malfunction, parking brake, and some other lights. *obdii scan reads back p0303* battery was replaced in 2025, and has never tested at low voltage. Recently tested battery 04/26/2026 at 14. 51v (with engine running). Spark plugs replaced 04/26/2026 with oem ngk plugs with oe gap 0. 030". Drove car for 10 minutes and lights didn't go away. Upon researching, this appears to be a "replace all fuel injectors" job. Which also appears to be a fairly common issue in these crvs. My concern is that the misfire is disabling all driver safety systems and forcing the car into limp mode, and seems to be manufacturer error/negligence in terms of part reliability/quality. These parts are also on a 6-9 month back order because of how common the issue is. Honda released "service bulletin 19-032" as a means to make dealers aware of the issue but I find this dishonest to the customers and Honda owners who purchase the vehicles on the promise of reliability. Please look into this issue, as it seems to happen just outside of warranty on these cars. Honda scarcely giving out goodwill refunds/assistance for their factory-issue.
