Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Honda CR-V - part 1

My 2018 Honda Cr-v has only 100,000 miles. A week ago, I noticed that my engine temperature gauge on my dashboard was spiking during low speed driving and I received several engine overheating alarms. There was no white smoke emitting from my exhaust. I checked the coolant reservoir and observed that the reservoir was almost empty. I brought my vehicle to my mechanic who found no external coolant leaks. He recommended that I bring my vehicle to a Honda service center to better diagnose the issue. The Honda service center diagnosed the issue as a head gasket failure, causing coolant to leak into my cylinders and burn off in the engine. This issue resulted in the engine overheating and could likely cause engine seizing, or in extreme cases, the engine to catch fire. This is a known issue for 2017-2022 Honda Cr-vs with the 1. 5l turbocharged engine. My wife and I could have seriously been injured by this known defect. In addition, the Honda service center provided me a quote of approximately $5,000 to replace the head gasket and resurface the cylinders. A lawsuit was filed in 2025 in California documenting the same issue on many 2017-2022 Honda Cr-vs (alcantara, et al. V. American Honda motor CO. Inc. , et al. , case no. 2:25-cv-06009). A recall should immediately be issued for Honda to cover repairs for this issue.

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.

While driving a 2021 Honda Cr-v hybrid, the vehicle has intermittently and without warning lost the ability to accelerate. When this occurs, depressing the accelerator pedal — even fully to the floor — produces no response, and the vehicle simply coasts and loses speed. This has happened on three occasions — January 13, 2025; December 16, 2025; and June 10, 2026 — including at highway speed. Each occurrence is documented by a Honda dealer service invoice. In each instance, the check engine light began flashing immediately before the loss of power. The only way to restore normal operation was to bring the vehicle to a stop, turn the ignition off, wait, and restart. Restarting restores power but also clears the check engine light and any stored diagnostic trouble codes. Safety risk: losing motive power without warning, particularly at highway speed or while merging in traffic, creates a serious risk of a rear-end or loss-of-control collision, because the vehicle cannot accelerate out of danger. The affected systems appear to be the power train and hybrid propulsion system, possibly originating from the engine given the flashing check engine light, which typically indicates an active engine misfire. The exact failed component has not been confirmed (unknown). The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by the dealer during inspection. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Honda dealer for each occurrence, but because restarting the vehicle clears the fault codes, the dealer found no stored codes and could not duplicate the failure during a test drive. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This matches NHTSA preliminary evaluation pe25016 regarding intermittent loss of motive power in my 2020–2022 Honda Cr-v hybrid vehicles.

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.

This make and model Honda with a 2. 4l engine have several known defects which brings potential harm and high operational and repair costs to its owners. Honda is well aware of the engine problems but refuses to issue recalls to correct the problem. Two of the major problems are: 1. Due to a design error, the engine burns excessive amounts of oil, and 2. Honda installed a defective vtc actuator in this engine. Either problem can cause the engine to suddenly sieze/fail which could lead to serious injury or loss of life. I purchased a used 2014 Honda Cr-v from a Honda dealer in 2022 with about 50,000 mi. After a short time owning the vehicle I realized that the engine was burning excessive oil (about 2 quarts every 2 to 3 weeks). When I discussed this issue with my local Honda dealer, they told me that according to a Honda service bulliten, my car was not losing oil at a rate that warranted repair. I've owned around 10 Hondas in my life and I've never had a car burn oil where I had to add any oil between oil changes. So, burning multiple quarts of oil a month is extremely unusual and should have been repaired by Honda! the 2nd problem, defective vtc actuators, actually may be related to the 1st problem due to a constant fluctuation of the oil level, and lack of oil. The defective vtc actuators lead to a stretched/worn timing chain which can cause engine failure at any time and any place. After experiencing a loud rattling coming from my engine on start-up for some time, I just had several dashboard lights come on. Running a scan on the vehicle it showed a p0341 code. I took my car to my local Honda dealer where they informed my that I had to replace the stretched timing chain and failed/defective vtc actuator at a cost of over $2600. I believe that fraud was committed by Honda from the day I purchased the vehicle as Honda was aware of both significant engine problems and did not inform us a unexpecting buyers.

The systems affected with failure notifications were electric parking brake, tpms, emissions, brake, brake hold, power steering, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, adaptive cruise (including regular cruise), collision mitigation/avoidance, road departure mitigation. The stored codes in the vehicle that I was able to read were p0300, p0303, p0304. This failure bears a striking resemblance to that of TSB 21-010, directed at keihin manufactured fuel injectors, 16010-rlv-315, which was later replaced with updated . . . -305 after the failure was determined, and the vehicles were given a 10 year 150,000 mile warranty. The crv had injector 16010-5pa-305, also manufactured by keihin, which was also later revised to 06160-. . . , but the crv was not given the same warranty extension, suggesting Honda acknowledged the same defect pattern across both injector families but chose not to extend equivalent coverage to the crv. 21-010 also details that debris from the high pressure pump may contribute, and the crv experienced the same fuel pump recall for low density impellers that these vehicles did. Honda is also obligated under TSB 98-081 to perform emissions services due to obd inadequacy, which this vehicle experienced. Misfires were felt for months with no cel. The norm reeves Honda parts catalog classifies injectors as emissions components, implying they should be covered. However, a Honda dealer in CA, mandated by carb and epa, refused to do the repairs or make any goodwill attempt on my behalf. I then reached out to american Honda, who delayed assigning a case manager as long as possible, then required phone contact after initially accepting alternate communication methods, then assigned a case manager whose hours conflicted with my stated availability, then assigned a second who has not answered the phone. I am still awaiting a callback. The vehicle has been immobile and in limp mode for the past two weeks while Honda's callback process remains unresolved.

During a 2 hour drive, my 2017 Honda crv exl had all lights pop up on the dash and we experienced a sudden loss of acceleration on the highway. After finally being able to pull over, we were left stranded due to what a Honda dealership later found to be an oil dilution defect that caused a catastrophic failure in the turbocharger. Me and my girlfriend were left stranded for hours two hours away from home. This was a manufacturing defect that put me and my girlfriends lives at risk, this issue occured suddenly when we were travelling at highway speeds. The sudden flash of all dash lights during the incident were distracting as well as the situation incredibly worrying and could have caused us to crash. Even though we were able to stop safely, the situation has still created a lasting mental effect on me, as I have to carry the burden and trauma of the event with no reimbursment from Honda. There were no signs that could have told us this was going to happen as I have taken great care of the car, as it is my first car that I bought, and it is completely unaccetpable to have this happen to me when the car is only at 77,000 miles. The dealership did a diagnosis and the repair bill from the dealership to fix the turbo and intercooler is $5,000, and it is completely unacceptable that this even happened. I have taken great care of the car and a catastrophic failure of the engine system left us stranded for hours where we could not get any help. This has taken a huge toll on my mental state, and the car is left sitting at the dealership due to the completely unreasonable price tag of repair for an issue that is a known manufacturing issue, we have not gotten any reimbursment for the repair. It is unreasoble and unaccetpable to put the cost of repair on the driver who had no way to avoid this life-threatening manufacturing defect.

On may 25th, 2026 multiple dashboard warning lights flashed simultaneously while I was driving indicating an immediate engine issue, all warning alerts showed up. Next day, the engine exhibited a structural shudder/shake. The vehicle has otherwise always been perfectly maintained and operated flawlessly, thus, I called the dealership/ they gave me an appointment for the next day, after their inspection, they said that they need to replace the head gasket, timing chain set, and fuel injectors simultaneously; I learnt the imminent safety hazard I was exposed to! operating a vehicle with an active internal fluid leak and compromised cylinder sealing creates an unpredictable driving hazard, putting occupants at risk of being stranded or rear-ended due to sudden engine failure. This proves that this is a systemic thermal defect affecting the structural integrity of the 1. 5l turbo powertrain. The dealership stated the vehicle requires a top-end engine rebuild, specifically: a head gasket, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and a timing chain set. This is unacceptable given that my car is only 58. 8k miles. I purchased the car brand new and always take good care, this issue is putting tens of thousands of dollars at financial risk! now, on top of that, they want me to pay around $ 6,000 thousand dollars for a well-documented 1. 5l engineering defect. This will destroy my trust in the brand and guarantee I will never buy a Honda again. This should be a safety recall, and why must I pay for their manufacture's issue? is not fair.

This morning, around 9 am, I was stopped on [xxx] in traffic, just south of [xxx] . [xxx] ) foot on break, waiting for traffic to start moving. Engine suddenly revved to about 4k rpm. Car started to lurch a bit, I had to put increased pressure on the brake to hold it. I wasn’t sure the brake would hold, so I shifted to neutral, engine revved up over 4k. It settled back down and I was able to drive to the Honda dealer on [xxx] (less than a mile from where the incident occurred. ) left the car there to be worked on. Car was in the engine idle shutoff mode. I don’t recall if it started revving coming out of that mode, but I don’t think so since my foot would have been off the brake at that point. Other than the lurch that occurred while I was pressing hard on the brake, I didn’t move the car until after I had put it in neutral and it settled down. Then I put it in drive and moved forward. I don't recall any warning lamps or messages. No report yet from the Honda dealer [xxx] ), but I wanted to report this since this should never happen -- regardless of the root cause.

My brand new 2026 Honda Cr-v hybrid sport-l experienced sudden significant power loss while operating on highway around 300 or so miles. Dashboard displayed warning: 'emissions system problem — power may be reduced — see your dealer. ' I had to immediately get off the highway and very slowly drive back home and then took it to the dealer as soon as their service dept. Opened after that. Vehicle subsequently diagnosed at david mcdavid Honda irving with fuel injector failure requiring complete replacement under warranty. Highway power loss on a brand new vehicle at 300+ miles represents a serious safety hazard. Vehicle has been at dealer since may 26, 2026 for warranty repairs and even after 9 days they have not been able to resolve the issue and I am still waiting to pick up my car. Honda corporate case opened.

The vehicle has accumulated 121,000 miles and has undergone all necessary services at the Honda dealership where it was originally purchased. The vehicle was driven under normal operating conditions by original owner. Now has a broken head gasket that a local Honda dealer wanted nearly 7k for the repairs. How does this happen and why? since other owners are having the same issue, this should have been dealt with previously. Now I am without my car for the better part of a week. Please fix this!.

While driving my 2022 Honda crv at highway speeds and at operating temperature, the steering sticks and/or pauses then releases causing the steering to jerk back in the opposite direction. This creates a major safety issue while driving on the highway and can potentially cause an accident. Additionally, when turning the vehicle left at slow speeds, we would periodically hear a clicking noise. These problems began at the beginning of 2024 and have progressively gotten worse. Initial attempts to have Honda identify the problems failed as they could not replicate the problems at the time of diagnostics. During this time, our warranty expired. On may 20, 2026, we once again had the vehicle inspected by pohanka Honda of salisbury, MD for the same issues. This time the lead mechanic technician was able to replicate and pinpoint the problem. He noted the problem was the "electrical power steering system assembly and gearbox assembly", which contained the worm gear and worm wheel assembly. The dealership quoted us a price of $2,153. 00 for parts, labor, and a full alignment, which is required during this type of repair. The service technician advised there are no current recalls to cover the cost of this repair. The Honda corporation has suggested we apply for their “goodwill assistance program”, to help cover cost for out-of-warranty repairs, but there was no guarantee that we would qualify for any monetary relief. We believe Honda corporation is ignoring a major defect and safety issue regarding the electrical power steering assembly and gearbox, on older crv models. This same part has been deemed as defective and a major safety issue on newer crv models between 2023-2025 and has recalled those vehicles for repair. I believe the company should be required to recall all vehicles with the defective electrical power steering assembly and gearbox. Fortunately for us, Honda made the repair and covered the full cost through the goodwill assistance program.

While driving home during rush hour traffic on the highway with my children in the vehicle, without warning it stopped accelerating when I passed the gas pedal and started slowing down. When I let go of the gas pedal it would speed back up. I couldn't safely merge over to the right with heavy traffic and ended up on the left shoulder. I turned the vehicle off and tried to restart it, it struggled to start, but when I let go of the key it would turn over. The brake system lights and check engine light were illuminated after the incident, but not during. The code was for p0087 and Honda service confirmed it's a failed high pressure fuel pump, but it's not under the recall so the repair isn't covered. I'm extremely lucky to have gotten to the side of the road without causing an accident. I was not driving my normal route that day, but if I had been this would have happened on a stretch of the highway that's under construction where there was no shoulder to pull onto. So if I'd have gone a different way home that day, we'd have most certainly been involved in a collision. They've anyway texans the low pressure fuel pump but these high pressure ones are just as dangerous when they fail, even more so!.

The contact was driving , experienced tire pressure and check engine light illuminated. White smoke was seen underneath the vehicle and then it turned black. Then fire was seen coming from underneath the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the vehicle , and smoke and fire was seen underneath the vehicle. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was consumed by the fire. The vehicle was towed to a tow and recovery lot. No injuries were sustained. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was.

The contact’s daughter owns a 2015 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart. The contact also stated that the vehicle would not accelerate over 80 mph. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 169,893.

All brake systems warning lamps illuminated while driving on the highway, the vehicle was pulled off the road and shut off, brakes were visually inspected and all fluid levels were examined and everything was intact. Vehicle was driven again after a breif time and everything was fine. A few weeks later all warning lamps were displayed, the vehicle was brought to a Honda dealership the following morning and a cracked fuel pump was diagnosed and the technician believed that there was no coolant in the vehicle and that was filled. The technicians suggested a scope of the engine to rule out a leaking head gasket but I could not afford it and monitored my coolant levels, had a pressure test done at a trusted mechanic and everything was fine for approx 3 months. Absolutely no coolant was observed on my driveway, the coolant level remained optimal on visual inspection. The vehicle started to drive roughly and I suspected new spark plugs were needed, those were installed at the dealership. The issue was not resolved and I returned w/in 1 month and was told that 3/4 cylinders were blown in addition to the head gasket. The vehicle has 106k miles and has received all maintenance as described. The cost to repair is over $8,000. I believe this is a failure on Honda as this is a very well documented issue with this specific vehicle.

Looses power randomly when lights appear in dashboard lights. Even after the recall.

Engine shuts off while driving. Speeds can be low or high. 20-65 mph. While driving, engine will cut off. Sometimes the electrics remain on and I can use power steering to pull to the side of the road, other times everything shuts down. It can happen while turning or regular straight driving. Sometimes it will restart right after, other times, it won't start for many minutes. We have gotten stuck in turn lanes, middle of intersections, and busy 3 lane city roads. Mechanic says it is not showing any codes and can't find anything wrong with the car.

Cylinder 2 and 4 misfire, that will cause all the sensor lights to come on and the vehicle will stall out. Doesn't matter if driving 15 mph or 55 mph, it will just stall.

Oil has gas in it.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, numerous warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, including the abs and check engine lights. Concurrently, the vehicle lost engine motive power and was unable to accelerate. The vehicle was driven to a dealer where it was diagnosed to have a blown head gasket and issue with the fuel injector. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 225,000.

When car was at 44,000 miles, check engine light repeatedly went on, and Honda dealership determined the car needed adjusted valve job. Car rode rough, and I was worried it would cut out on drive. Now that car is at 77,000 miles, check engine light came on with the exact same problem (misfire on cylinder 1). Car rode rough, and I was worried it would cut out on the drive to the dealership, but they said they couldn't diagnose the issue unless the light was actively on. I feel like this is a defect with this car model.

Hello. We purchased this 2018 Honda Cr-v new in 2018 from the local Honda dealer, Honda of lake jackson, TX. In the spring of 2025 the a/c stopped working. We took it to a local shop and they had to replaced the following: blower motor replaced, blower motor replaced, a/c evaporator replaced, a/c expansion/orifice valve replaced, heater core replaced. This was around a $3,000 repair. A month or so later in may of 2025 we took the car to the Honda dealer because of steering instability issues. We were advised that the entire steering column would need to replaced due to known safety issues (drive shaft can fail completely at highway speeds). The following was repaired at this time: --rack and pinion replaced, steering gear replaced, valve cover gasket replaced vehicle was at 61,984 miles at this time. This was a $5,000+ repair. It cost so much that we actually had to take out financing to pay it, which in essence essentially renewed our car payment (car was already paid off at this time). Now for the past 8 months or so we have had a "juddering" issue where you can feel the transmission ctv system jump and jerk as you accelerate to highway speeds. This issue also puts the entire transmission at risk of failure. The Honda dealer here checked the vehicle out and suggested we do a transmission fluid swap. This cost $189 for the "diagnostic fee" and $179 for the swap. So another nearly $400. They did the swap and said that it did not fix the issue and now we need to pay $2800 to have the "torque convertor" replaced. This is $10,000 plus dollars in repairs, nearly half to cost of the vehicle. This is a ridiculous amount of issues for a vehicle that had only 61,000 miles. We have always had regular maintenance performed also. From what I have read, Honda knows about these issues but has not issued a recall. In addition I've read that "juddering" ctv issue is a known issue in 2015-2018 Honda Cr-v's. Needless to say we are not happy with Honda about any of this.

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.

A known common issues that Honda are not addressing: car going limp randomly, oil dilution, head gasket failure causing fuel injector issues, dashboard lighting up which causes the safety features to also cease from operating. I have multiple times now with my 4 year old in the car been in traffic and my car has just stopped going unprovoked. This limp mode issue a huge safety issue and has almost caused me to wreck multiple times. This started around 70k miles.

I am reporting a potential safety defect with my 2018 Honda Cr-v ex-l. While driving under normal conditions, the vehicle suddenly overheated without warning. The temperature gauge rapidly rose to “high,” and warning messages appeared indicating an engine overheating/cooling system issue. I was forced to pull over immediately to avoid engine failure and a potential accident. The vehicle was unsafe to continue driving and had to be inspected by a mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a blown head gasket, and coolant had leaked into the engine. I was informed that the engine may need to be replaced due to the severity of the damage. This issue occurred without prior warning and created a serious safety hazard because the vehicle could have stalled or seized while in motion, potentially causing an accident or leaving me stranded in traffic. The vehicle has been properly maintained and was being driven normally at the time of the incident. I am concerned this may be a manufacturing defect involving the engine, head gasket, or cooling system. I am submitting this complaint so the issue can be investigated for potential safety risks to other drivers.

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 vehicle began experiencing engine roughness during cold starts, with the engine running extremely rough for several seconds before stabilizing. This condition worsened over approximately one week. Shortly after, multiple warning lights illuminated simultaneously across the dashboard, including systems unrelated to the engine. The vehicle then entered a reduced power or “limp” mode, making it unsafe to operate. The vehicle could not exceed approximately 10 mph, creating a hazardous condition in normal traffic. The vehicle was taken to a repair facility and diagnosed with a failed head gasket. This diagnosis was confirmed by a dealership, which quoted approximately $6,100 for repair. The failure occurred without warning beyond the initial cold start roughness and progressed rapidly, significantly impacting the safety and usability of the vehicle. This issue presents a serious safety concern due to sudden loss of power and inability to maintain safe driving speeds. Based on widely available owner reports and similar complaints, this appears to be a recurring issue affecting this vehicle model and engine type. There are also known legal actions related to similar failures in other markets, suggesting a potential systemic defect rather than an isolated incident.

The fuel injection system failed, specifically causing a cylinder 1 misfire (dtc p0301). The component is currently installed in the vehicle and available for inspection. The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power and violent shaking while driving in traffic, creating a high risk of a rear-end collision or being stranded in a dangerous intersection. Multiple safety systems (vsa, braking assist, power steering) were disabled simultaneously. The problem was officially confirmed and diagnosed by saccucci Honda [xxx] ) on invoice #xxx. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer (saccucci Honda), who confirmed the failure is internal to the fuel injectors. There were no warning symptoms prior to the failure. All warning lamps and messages appeared suddenly on 04/20/2026 exactly 3 days after the official Honda fuel pump safety recall was performed at a different dealership of Honda . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I bought this car from a private seller and he claimed the vehicle was in good condition. A day later the car has been dying on me while driving. Nothing shows on the check engine that something is wrong with it. The car will start and able to drive but then will die on me again. How do I find if it's covered under a recall?.

Vehicle has an "engine hot" warning and coolant loss, which creates a safety risk of stalling in traffic.

Date of accident: April 13, 2026 I drove into our church parking lot and then parked next to my husband’s car and was totally stopped and in the parking space. I thought I had my foot on the brake. After a split second, it accelerated and jumped the curb of the parking space at a very fast speed. I had no control of the car. I sheared off a heavy metal sidewalk railing and was headed for the brick church (church is on a berm above parking lot), but I managed to steer away to miss the church and a large tree. I steered off the berm and into empty parking lot – still traveling at high speed. I finally threw it into neutral to get it to stop because it was continuing toward a busy street with lots of traffic. Neutral stopped it. No air bags deployed. The front and side of the car that hit the metal railing sustained $6,500 damage. Towed it to collision repair. When we asked at the columbia, mo, Honda dealer’s service department, they said because the air bags didn’t deploy, that it was probably operator’s error and nothing they could do. We didn’t feel that it was operator error and reported to the assistant general manager of Honda in a personal meeting. We asked to have the Honda field engineer exam the car. Instead, they had their district service supervisor exam the car. Their conclusion: they could find nothing wrong with the car. After reading online reports of almost identical accidents with this model, we decided it was too dangerous to drive and sold it back to the Honda dealer.

Head gasket failed due to bolts stretching allowing coolant to leak into the cylinder on cold starts until the engine warmed and sealed itself. Was confirmed by Honda technician be causing a misfire on cylinder 4 throwing code p0304 and all warning lights on dash going off during cold starts only. Lead to unreliable transportation, slow acceleration, and even random parking brake engagement one time when waiting to pull out from a parking lot into traffic, in a vehicle supposed to be sold as reliable for families and to last over 200k miles with proper maintenance while this has happened at 140,000 miles despite proper maintenance and at no fault of my own, but as a design flaw that Honda is aware of and wont recall to fix causing major costly repairs.
