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.

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.

Sunroof glass was shattered while on freeway. No rock or debris hit. She was driving back to home from office and other car drivers reported something falling out from top and when she stopped and checked, everywhere was glass debris. This is 2026 Honda crv hybrid sport and just 35 days old bought from dealer. Dealership is saying its not covered under warranty so have to pay from either pocket or insurance.

Recall 23v228 was performed on my vehicle (brace installed), but the structural failure the recall was meant to prevent has occurred anyway.

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.

Incident 1 — April 23, 2026 | ~71,289 miles while merging onto the freeway, multiple warning lights illuminated simultaneously on the dashboard. Vehicle exhibited uncontrolled acceleration and became unsafe to operate. Incident was captured on video. Vehicle was driven to salinas Honda [xxx] ). Dealer performed two open safety recalls: campaign 24-049:6yp00 (fuel pump safety recall, 2023–25 multi model hybrids) and campaign 24-117:6jp00 (eps gearbox greasing safety recall, 2023–25 Cr-v). Work order #xxx. Incident 2 — April 24, 2026 | 71,302 miles warning lights returned the same day the vehicle was retrieved from the dealer — within hours of release. Vehicle was returned immediately to salinas Honda. Dealer found misfire codes (p0300, p0302, p0303), performed a hard battery reset and steering angle relearn, and conducted a 30-mile test drive. Vehicle was released as repaired. Invoice #xxx. Incident 3 — April 24, 2026 (current) following the second dealer visit, vehicle was driven approximately 90 miles from [xxx] to [xxx] without incident. Approximately 30 minutes after parking, vehicle was restarted for a short local trip. Upon restart, the engine emitted a loud abnormal noise and exhibited severe difficulty accelerating. On April 27, 2026, a third party obd-ii scan performed at autozone confirmed active misfire codes p0300, p0302, and p0303 were still present following a hard battery reset performed by the owner's. Codes were not cleared by the reset. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My 2017 Honda Cr-v's air conditioning system has repeatedly failed to cool properly over the past several years, occurring approximately 4 to 5 times. The ac blows warm or insufficiently cold air, making driving uncomfortable and unsafe during hot weather, particularly for passengers including children and elderly individuals. I have researched this issue and found that Honda has acknowledged two known defects related to this problem through technical service bulletins TSB 19-091 (ac condenser manufactured out of specification, causing refrigerant leaks) and TSB 23-040 (ac compressor shaft seal defect causing refrigerant and oil leaks). Honda extended the warranty on these components to 10 years with no mileage limit, however no formal safety recall has been issued and owners are not proactively notified. This is a recurring defect affecting thousands of Cr-v owners across multiple model years (2017–2022). I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this pattern and compel Honda to issue a formal recall so that all affected owners are automatically notified and repaired at no cost, rather than requiring owners to discover the warranty extension themselves.

I am reporting a safety-related issue with the front radar sensor on my Honda Cr-v 2026. The sensor is mounted in a location that appears to be easily accessible and insufficiently secured, making it highly vulnerable to theft. My vehicle was recently targeted, and the sensor was removed, resulting in loss of critical driver-assistance features such as collision mitigation braking and adaptive cruise control. This creates a significant safety risk, as the vehicle’s ability to detect and respond to hazards is compromised. Additionally, multiple vehicles in my neighborhood have experienced similar incidents, indicating a potential widespread defect rather than an isolated case. I believe this design exposes owners to both safety hazards and financial burden, and I request that this issue be investigated for possible recall or corrective action to improve the security and protection of the radar sensor.

Well driving down hwy 207 with no other vehicles in site my sunroof spontaneously exploded with no evidence of a rock in sight I did take pictures right afterwards the pictures showed the remaining glass.

In the 5 months I have owned this vehicle, the windshield has been chipped at least six time by debris while driving. As I am retired, I do not do a lot of freeway travel and 700 of the 3400 miles were from a trip to visit my mom. I had fewer windshield chips on my previous Honda crv in 8 years and 90000 miles than I have had with this 2026 crv. My dealer ignored my request to even look at the issue, saying glass was not covered by their warranty and when I called Honda USA, they took the information and casually told me to 'have a blessed day'. My first big chip was repaired through my insurance in December 2025 and I will have 5 more chips looked at today by their preferred shop, safelite. I have taken photos, as best I could, of the chips I discovered while washing the car in the bright sunlight. Having a clear field of vision is so critical to safe driving and the manufacturer should provide a durable windshield for passenger safety.

Multiple dash lights are on and vehicle is running poorly. Was told it was the differential dual pump fluid it was replaced. Dashboard lights are still on. Battery is not that old removed any corrosion on it but still getting dashboard lights.

"fuel pump issues directly cause injector system failures". Today Honda assured me than the fuel pump recall could not interfere in the injector system, that's totally false now I have to changed injector system and spark plugs to my own expense. On Monday 6th of April 2026 showrd engine light as well as stalling when driving on Monday 30th of March ac comprrssor smoked, also need to be replaced.

The infotainment/navigation head unit in my 2018 Honda Cr-v has completely failed. The system is stuck in a continuous boot loop, displaying a ‘software update’ recovery menu screen on every startup and returning to the same screen regardless of which option is selected (reboot, wipe cache, etc. ). The unit is non-functional — no navigation, no backup camera, no audio controls, no phone connectivity. The failure occurred spontaneously with no prior warning, no accidents, and no physical damage to the unit. The vehicle has been inspected by a Honda dealership, which confirmed the head unit requires full replacement at a cost of $1,500. This is a known widespread defect affecting thousands of Honda vehicles across multiple model years. Honda has faced legal action over this exact issue. The infotainment system controls the backup camera display, which is a federally mandated safety feature — its failure puts drivers and pedestrians at risk. The component is available for inspection upon request.

The component affected is the passenger side mirror. The plastic cap over the mirror spontaneously cracked. It sounded like my crv was hit by a rock. I looked over and my mirror was folded into the vehicle. The mirror works, it is not cracked and the movement via the driver side buttons works. Upon stopping and looking, the plastic was broken from the bottom around the interior of the cap. Exterior plastic piece was left. I used black duct tape to keep the remaining pieces together. No warning signs. Pieces of plastic flew off the mirror into the roadway where cars were parked and people would be standing. My crv is going in for an inspection on 4/2/2026.

I was driving on the freewayin the night time on several occasions and the emissions light and check engine light comes on and the car lost speed and would not accelerate. I had to put my hazards on to exit the freeway slowly to pull over turn the car off, sometimes this corrects the problems. But this has happened on several occasions. The vehicle is now at the dealer being diagnostic, they end up keeping the vehicle and haven't told me yet what the issue is.

Multiple warning lights were turning on then turning off in their own, typically 2-3 days later. However while on, all adas showed errors and did not work. Most recent time, had an elevation changed (over 6000 ft), lights came cascading on parked safely. Next morning, car would not accelerate/was extremely jerky. Turned off waited turned back on, while lights were on car felt to be running fine. Slightly off sounding idle. Dtc showed multiple misfires and error codes with a recommendation to replace fuel injectors. Dealer was surprised given relatively low milage (109000 miles) for this issue to occur.

While our 2013 Honda cr?v was still drivable, we began experiencing a brief but loud rattle or grinding noise at cold start, especially after the vehicle had been sitting. Several years ago the dealer replaced the variable timing control (vtc) actuator because of this cold?start rattle. After a period without noise, the cold?start rattle returned and became frequent, along with concerns about abnormal oil consumption. We reported these symptoms repeatedly during routine service visits. In March 2026, the cr?v was brought to the Honda dealer for a routine oil change. The vehicle arrived running normally. After the service, the dealer advised that the vehicle would no longer start and was undriveable. Their diagnosis was a failed vtc actuator, a stretched/jumped timing chain, and internal engine damage requiring timing?system repair, cylinder head/valve work, and possibly pistons and rings due to oil?consumption?related wear. The failure occurred without any warning lights or messages immediately prior to the event. The only prior symptom was the recurring cold?start rattle that had been present for years and was previously addressed once by replacing the vtc actuator. The dealer has confirmed the failure and provided written estimates; the vehicle remains disabled. This pattern—cold?start rattle, vtc actuator failure, timing?chain stretch/jump, and internal engine damage—appears consistent with a known defect in the vtc actuator/timing system on this generation of Honda cr?v. If the timing?chain failure had occurred at highway speed rather than while the vehicle was at the dealer, it could have caused sudden loss of power and increased the risk of a crash.

The vehicle displays inaccurate fuel level and miles-to-empty information, creating a safety risk because the driver cannot reliably determine how much fuel is actually available or how far the vehicle can be driven. The infotainment system also freezes and carplay frequently becomes unusable. There was also a key recognition / “key not detected” malfunction. These issues have occurred in a new vehicle and remain unresolved after multiple dealer visits.

The vechicle was in an accident were it went off the road into grassy area. Hitting several street signs and a power transformer. The safety features automatic braking or lane keep assistance did not engage. The driver tried to brake the car did not stop nor did it seem to slow down by the distance it traveled. The car is possiblity a total loss, currently under review by insurance company. There were 2 passenger in the vechicle during the accident. Driver and toddler in the rear. Police did come out to the scene. Insurance representative are going through thier claim process. The accident was 2 days ago. All safety feature prior to the accident were opperating proper to my knowledge. I would like to request the black box from the accident to gather more information on what may have happened. Insuarance companies is not going to obtain it.

My 2017 Honda crv VIN [xxx] ac compressor has completely seized/locked up. This has caused: (1) loss of engine power while driving with ac on, (2) burning smell from engine compartment, (3) loud grinding noise. A seized ac compressor risks snapping the serpentine belt while driving, which causes sudden loss of power steering — a direct safety hazard at highway speeds. This is a known Honda defect covered under TSB 23-040, yet the dealer denied warranty coverage claiming the compressor failure is unrelated to the shaft seal defect. The root cause was never addressed despite my car being serviced in may 19 2023 and they charged for discharge hose and freeon filling for 900$. The same day Honda extended warranty of parts via TSB 23-040. I feel Honda dealership never found the root cause and beating around the bush. We lose money and health and safety is also getting intona concern. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Driver's side window would not go up or down. It was wet and rainy. Had the car 2 days. On day three which is sunny the driver side window worked correctly. Safety concern is that window won't work in an emergency situation if there is moisture or water involved.

I was driving Honda crv on route 60, mph was about 30 when the vehicle went to side by side on the road. This is a 2 lane highway. If some was coming the other way I could not help from colliding into them. I pulled over as soon as I could. The Honda has a left rear frams is broken. I heard other people announcing that their frame on crv Honda 2012 is broken at the same side. It is a good car except for the frame. Please help . Are there any recall for frame?.

"my 2019 Honda Cr-v experienced a 'false positive' trigger of the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) while driving over a metal road grate. The vehicle applied hard, emergency-level braking without any actual obstacle in the path of travel. I am aware of the active NHTSA investigation ea24003 regarding this issue. I have taken the vehicle to a dealer, but they were unable to replicate the issue during a standard test drive on asphalt and cited a brake fluid code as the only finding, which does not explain the sensor misidentification. " I am bringing the car back to the dealership since I have video proof of what is happening but they were reluctant to do anything about it and said there may be a 180 dollar charge to re align the sensors which I shouldnt be charged for something that is a safety issue. This incident has happened several times over the year. About 4 times total.

I have owned the car less than a month and 3 times I have had all of the warning lights come on out of nowhere. The first time the car also lost power. I bought a new battery and after driving the lights disappeared. It has happened 2 more times since then. It is very alarming and could cause an accident.

Twice this has happened after the car is running for a bit all the lights cycle through as errors parking assist, hill assist, power steering, etc. . . Took to a dealership was told it is the fuel injectors and gas leaking into engine oil. Had to have my fuel injectors replace and get a new oil change due to gas in the oil. I see there is recalls for 2021-2025 but 2020 are also having the same issues. I have only had this car for 2 years and had to buy all new fuel injectors.

After driving in snowy or icy conditions, per jl freed Honda dealership in montgomeryville, PA, snow/ice accumulates in drive axel. This causes loud noise when accelerating, and when braking. This happened twice this winter.

The touchscreen infotainment system randomly goes awry, flashing, beeping and it doesn't respond to any controls. The vehicle must be turned off and started again to clear it.

Other than the emergency brake system coming on suddenly a couple times (seat belt has hurt me, but not medically documented), there have been no other issues with this car. In the November of 2025, it overheated in gridlock traffic in boston, MA, which had me freaking out. The engine coolant was low, so I had to find a spot to pull over and let the steam out. I drove it safely home and refilled the tank. It was checked out by my local mechanic and he said it looked fine. Towards the end of January, the car overheated again, so I immediately went to the auto store to buy prediluted coolant to fill the tank (which was now full). Last week (February 2026), I was driving home on the highway and all the emergency lights came on and the car stopped accelerating. I was able to get the car home, but moved my pump module recall appointment up to the following day. Honda north in danvers, MA (where we purchased the car) investigated and found a cracked cylinder, head gasket needing replacement, turbo chargers needing replacement, and the fuel injector needing replacement. The report also says the engine coolant tank was empty, but I only filled it a couple weeks ago. The mechanic said I could drive it home on the back roads, but it is no longer safe to drive, as there are severe safety risks (the car passed every other inspection). The sales team expected me to make a deal that day, because I could not drive home. My car's mileage is just over 127,000 miles, and they are only offering $6000 or $8000 with trade in. I have learned there are lawsuits over the 1. 5v turbo engine and am surprised Honda is not recalling the engine due to safety risk. My family has had 5 Hondas in the past decade and up until this point, believed they were safe, reliable cars. I am really dissappointed by this, especially because the cost to repair is over $11,000. I also want to note that someone on reddit coincidentally had the same issue within the same hour as myself.

I received a safety recall notice that states that Honda will be replacing the fuel pump due to "improper production". Honda is refusing to replace the fuel pump. They are now stating that they only need to test the pump even though the recall is very clear that it is to be replaced.

Lights appeared on dash associated with braking/sensors. Lights included: acc, collision mitigation, fuel emissions, traction control, electric parking brake, brake hold system, tpms, road departure mitigation, eps, vsa, hill start assist. Not running any different than normal, just lights suddenly appeared. Ran codes & codes said ecm failure & fuel too rich.
