Honda CR-V owners have reported 47 problems related to gas recirculation valve (egr valve) (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Honda CR-V based on all problems reported for the CR-V.
I have a 2024 crv hybrid sport l. I recently had a warranty claim, that was attributed to an issue with the throttle body. The engine reduced power and would not go over 25mph. And emissions fault was announced, which forced the turning off of all safety features of the car. I was able to drive to the dealership during non-traffic hours. I don’t know if this could mid-drive , but mine fortunately happened when I turned the car on. I got the dealership to replace the throttle body and take pictures of the problem before and after. It appears that the egr dumps downstream of the throttle body causing the butterfly valve “pin” to corrode and that tripped an emissions fault in my car and reduced the power and limited the engine to 25mph. The car only has 15k miles on it. The replacement throttle body has no redesign. It’s identical per the dealership and Honda. And no one is able to tell me if it’s going to happen again. I used the same exact gas as every other car I drive, and I have driven in the same city environment for 10 years now. So it’s clearly a design or quality issue. Honda would not give me more information. So I was forced to take this route.

The ac system has suddenly stopped working. Going into the hot summer months the ac system occasionally blows cold air but quickly switches to hot air when driving for extended periods (over 10 minutes). This is not only a huge inconvenience in 80+ degree weather, but also a safety concern with excessive heat circulating in the car in the hot summer months. I have tried to remedy the problem by checking freon compressor and condenser but nothing gives. This seems to be a major issue on 2016 manufacturing for civics and crv�s.

I was driving our 2018 Honda Cr-v 1. 5l SUV (with 4200 miles odometer reading at the time of the incident) on Saturday, March 2 on iowa state highway 92 going approximate 62mph and were 25 miles from home when the vehicle stalled and lost engine power unexpectedly and we had to go to the shoulder of the highway to get out of traffic coming behind us on the road. The vehicle would not accelerate to more than 6mph and the engine light was flashing when any effort to accelerate was made. We called Honda roadside assistance and were told it would be a 4 hour wait for a tow. The outside temperature that day was 16 degrees above zero fahrenheit . It was 3 hours before a tow service arrived. Our vehicle was towed to Smart Honda in des moines, iowa which was the closest Honda dealer. The service department suspected the oil dilution problem and did an oil change that day. We were asked to keep our vehicle at Smart Honda until they could complete the service required. We were not given a loaner vehicle to use while the Cr-v was at the dealer. We bought this vehicle in July 2018 and in October of 2018 we received an email from consumer reports about the oil dilution problem in the 2017-18 Cr-v 1. 5l engines. We did not receive any info from Honda corporation until January 2019 when we got a letter about a software update due to �drivability concerns�. Due to severe weather in iowa, we were not able to schedule a service appointment and there was no emergency urgency in the letter we received. We are hugely disappointed and upset about this issue and consider it extremely unsafe to have a vehicle that can stall at anytime and anyplace. A safety recall on this engine should be issued before someone is killed with a stalled engine occurring completely at random.

Engine oil has a flashpoint of 215 degrees and 8. 5% fuel to oil ratio as measured by an independent laboratory, blackstone laboratories. Two tests have been performed and show dangerously low flashpoint levels and out of spec viscosity. The flashpoint is within the operating range of the engine. I am afraid of what could happen. Dealership will not fix the problem and they can only change the oil at the prescribed time indicated by the car. Flash point is extremely serious.

During idle the engine looses heat also causing the heater inside the cabin to loose heat at temperatures below 10 degrees.
The engine oil keeps increasing in volume causing me to drain about 1/2 qt about every 1000-1500 miles. If you do not keep a check on this it will degrade or cause engine failure. I live in georgia which has a mild climate.
The heat in the 2018 crv does not operate safely during average winter temperatures (north dakota). When it is actually cold outside, below zero degrees fahrenheit, the heat is non existent causing a terrible problem with defrosting windows. I brought the vehicle to the dealer for resolution. They stated that it was a known issue with this model engine and there was no fix in place from Honda. I proceeded with an incident with american Honda which the customer representative stated that this was an unknown issue even though the dealer and many car forums say otherwise. I guess now I wait for resolution, trade the vehicle, or crash as my windshield fogs up driving down the road.
The heat in the car dose not work when it is cold out. Auto start does nothing to warm the vehicle. The vehicle needs to be driving continuously to have the temperature gauge move. Once the gauge is 1/2 way up and I turn on the heat, the gauge drops all the way down. No warm air comes out, also effecting the defroster. If I have ice or fog on my windows the defroster can't keep up severely impairing my vision, not to mention that all passengers in the car are freezing the entire time. This morning the temperature was 9 degrees fahrenheit with a real feel of -10 and during my 30 minute drive to work via a highway, all 4 door windows were fogged over and ice was forming on them and the rear and front windshield have fog and ice on about 50% of them. If not for the seat warmer and the blanket I wrapped myself in for my cummute I would have been frozen. This isn't the first time winter has happened nor the first car that Honda has created. No reason for the heat not to work.
Vehicle was recalled for oil dilution issue and engine not warming up properly and gasoline smell inside vehicle. Honda repaired on 1/11/19. Recall repair did not work. Took it back on 1/16/19. Still does not work. I started vehicle in driveway and left it run for 35 minutes with heater on high and fan on high still blowing ice cold air temp gauge did not move at all. Still smell gas in vehicle engine oil is overfilled about 3/8 inch above full on dip stick. Another appointment on 2/12/19 to try and fix for third time. Saturday morning 2/9/19 at 7:10 in morning on way home from work 23 degrees out I had to put the windows down because gas smell inside vehicle was making me sick. Sunday morning at 7:10 on way home from work 17 degrees outside started vehicle up at 6:50 7:05 I got in vehicle still ice cold cleaned frost and ice off vehicle as best I could. Vehicle will not warm up unless it is driven!!! started driving home and windshield is solid ice no sense in stopping because will not heat up unless vehicle is moving. These vehicles are accidents waiting to happen. Honda is aware of all these issues but does nothing. I guess not enough people were killed by their faulty vehicles yet and not enough lawsuits. Everyone of these vehicles should be recalled and banned from the road until repaired. I asked jones Honda of lancaster PA where I bought this vehicle for a loaner car until it is repaired and they said no they do not give out loaner cars but will rent me one. I paid about $32,000 for this vehicle and this is how they treat their customers.
The active safety and driver assist systems randomly switch themselves on and off while in motion and are unreliable. This has happened at both high and low speeds. It has happen in normal driving weather conditions and cold with snow flurries. This vehicle fails to warm to to "normal" operating tempers especial on mn cold days. It may not warm up period on days where the temperature fall to 15 degrees or lower. On days of 50 degrees or less it warms up when driving highway speeds but in low speed situations it may not warm up at all. There is the distinct smell of gasoline in the car at times. Additionally this vehicle appears to have an oil dilution problem as the oil level registers above the max oil level line on a regular basis. In my mind these are all safety issues. I wonder if the safety systems will actually work if and when I need them. I wonder if this car is going to burst into flames as I can small gasoline in the cabin. If I smelled gas in me house they recommend I leave the premises. I can't really do with I am driving down the road. I do have a few pictures of some of the electronic warning and temp gauge but cannot download from this location. I am listing here the first incidence but know there are a few incidences.
I own a 2017 Honda Cr-v 1. 5 turbo fwd and my vehicle is suffering from the affects of �oil dilution. � I regularly have my oil changed by Honda, but I noticed, upon returning from a long trip in northern inidiana over winter, a strong odor of gasoline when checking my oil-dipstick and the volume was much higher than expected. When I brought my vehicle to Honda, I was advised that Honda was aware of a problem for all 2017-2018 Cr-v 1. 5 turbos with residual gas dripping into the cylinders and eventually the oil crank-case, called �oil dilution�. I asked the Honda technician to check for gasoline in my oil, but they said no such test was available. He advised me that no fix currently exists, aside from more frequent oil changes. I then followed up with the lead technician at my dealer to resolve the safety concern, but I was verbally told that Honda does not intend to address the issue unless litigation is mandated. I believe this problem posses a major safety concern as these vehicles age and the risk of engine seizure or explosion increase. Honda north America's position is that since there are so few 2017 Cr-vs with turbo on the road, they do not see a reason to act. There is a fundamental problem with this Honda turbo fuel injection system, which was fixed for the 2019 models. A software patch is being issued by Honda canada, but this is not offered in southern states and Honda refuses to comment on the long term impact and degraded performance. I am deeply concerned for the safety of my family and fellow drivers.
Engine oil dipstick shows oil level above full and smells of gas. Honda dealer claims no knowledge of a problem although it is well known in internet auto blogs. I had my oil tested at blackstone laboratories and the report states it contains 3. 3% of fuel and �a fair amount of metal present�, and a flashpoint of 305 degrees when it should be above 370. This is a new car with only 3534 miles on it. Oil diluted with gas could cause my engine to freeze up while driving due to lack of proper lubrication. This is a serious problem in a turbo engine and will end its life prematurely and possibly cause an accident.
The 2019 Honda Cr-v touring vehicle has experienced gasoline contamination of the engine oil due to an issue with the engine design. The abnormal levels of gasoline contaminates has been validated through a third-party lab test. The degradation of the lubricating properties of the engine oil results in engine performance and in-cabin air quality issues. The vehicle has been taken into the manufacturer's service department, however, they have indicated that there is no fix for this issue at this time unless you live in specific states where the fix is being offered. This is a known International issue with this vehicle type and Honda has acknowledged that this is a problem. Some reports indicate that consumers have experienced severe vehicle performance issues (I. E. , stalling) as well as health related issues due to super strong gasoline odors in the cabin of the vehicle. The reduced lubrication quality of the engine oil due to the engine design issue has long-term performance indications.

Oil is contaminated with gasoline at a concentration of 4. 8% and flashpoint of 290 degrees. Smell of gasoline in engine oil. Engine oil has been changed twice according to vehicle specifications. Vehicle is not located in a state where Honda is providing fixes for the issue, eg reprogramming computer and hvac control unit.
Purchased my 1. 5 ltr crv in August of 2018, during the 2nd week in November of 2018, the temperature dropped below 30 degrees f. I would start the car and let it run idle to heat up but even after 20 min, the engine temp gauge remained at the lowest level but would rise once driving the vehicle. The heat only comes out moderately warm and the temp gauge goes back down when the vehicle is at a stop. During the past few days or so, I started experiencing a smell of gasoline fumes in the cabin of the car. I get headaches, dizziness, nausea, and chest pains and an overall ill feeling after driving the vehicle which remains for about 4 to 5 hours later. I decided to check the oil and it smelled like gasoline and was way over the maximum level. I called the Honda dealership today 11/28, who called Honda corporate to try and get me a loaner car and Honda corporate stated that the car is safe to drive. The car is definitely not safe to drive and is making me feel extremely ill. I hope Honda takes responsibility for this issue.
Stationary:gas intrusion into oil. Dipstick reeks of gas. Oil viscosity appears watery. Strong gas smell in garage after parking (heated garage) - takes 6-8 hrs to dissipate smell driving and stationary: strong gas smell into driver/front passenger area, outside perimeter of car and under hood - smell appears to come into cabin with heater on through vents. Windows have to be rolled down and heater off to get rid of smell - my eyes water, throat becomes tight and nose starts stinging immediately - headaches start after approximately 30 minutes of driving and continue for 4-5 hrs as do the other symptoms this cabin/under hood gas smell has happened with outside temps from 28-60 degrees. Gas smell is more concentrated after driving and parking the car and then turning off engine and returning to car to start engine within 10 minutes to 4 hrs - it literally makes me nauseous and dizzy. This happens whether car is in garage, driving on city street or highway. Has become worse the past 6 weeks (car was purchased new in June 2018) from Honda dealer in central illinois. It currently has 2500 miles on odometer what about a fire under hood from excess fuel not being burned off? I am concerned about my health and emissions have driven many types of cars for over 50 yrs and never had these gas intrusion issues or oil intrusion from fuel what happens when I need to "air car out" because of smell and it's raining or snowing? the potential for engine damage in concerning - example: how does gas mixed with oil, lubricate an engine and its related components properly? why is there excess build up of fuel in oil pan? why am I subjected to the noxious, hideous, and sickening gas smell in cabin? therefore, I would expect at a minimum extended drive train/engine warranty to 6 yrs from Honda which was granted in canada and want gas smell eliminated.
To my regret, I just purchased the 2018 crv ex 2wd yesterday, 10/19/2018 brand new with 255 miles on it. Based on the complaints on the turbo charged 1. 5 l 190 hp engine having the possibility gas in the oil tank, I regret this may be true. I found this on information out on consumer reports the night before and grew anxious. This car was stationary in my garage. This morning before starting the engine, I decided to check the oil. I removed the dipstick, and it had a strong odor of gasoline present. I have had many cars and all but one not by Honda. Never smelled gasoline on any oil dipstick in my life. But I never had a turbo engine either. At this point, I do not know how unsafe this condition in the days that follow. But I believe this definitely not good.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Cr-v. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact detected an abnormal odor in the cabin of the vehicle. The odor was also evident outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to page Honda (located at 1819 s telegraph rd, bloomfield hills, mi 48302, (248) 333-3200) where it was diagnosed that there was fuel contamination in the engine oil. An oil change was completed by the dealer. The contact was also informed by the mechanic that the manufacturer attempted, but failed twice in providing a remedy for similar failures with similar vehicles. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,834.
Gasoline mixing with engine oil. This is an addition to complaint # 11138878 and 11138881. On October 8th, 2018, after we complained about oil overfull and gasoline smell in oil, our Honda dealer changed the oil in our Cr-v and said to "keep an eye on it. " they said they could find only one other complaint like this, and the problem had gone away after one oil change. On 10/8/2018, after having the oil changed in the morning, we drove 130 miles, all highway miles, with the Cr-v. The next morning we checked the oil. Already it was overfull, and already it smelled strongly of gasoline. The temperatures in michigan that day (and others around it) were actually warm, with a high of 80 degrees f. On 10/9/18 we bought a quart of Honda 0w-20 oil at the dealer to compare the smell. The Honda oil smells like nothing on a paper towel. Oil from the dipstick of my Cr-v reeks of gasoline. Please note not low temperatures and not short trip, this was warm temps and highway miles only, and the gasoline in engine oil problem has re-occurred after only 130 miles and one day.
Oil mixing with gasoline-- addition to complaint # 11138878 -- please note that we bought the Cr-v on 9/15/2017 and it had about 60 miles on it when we took delivery--that was 3 weeks ago-- the remaining miles up to the current mileage of 2100 have been almost all highway miles, being numerous trips of approximately 60-80 miles. Our Cr-v is in michigan but it is early fall and temperatures have been between 55 degrees and 80 degrees f. So it is not cold weather and it is not short trips. Our oil is overfull by about 3/4 of a quart and it smells like gasoline. It is disheartening because we asked the salesman about the engine before buying and he told us no problems. But after we bought he said "change the oil every 5000 miles. " by the way an oil change is going to be $60+ each time because of synthetic oil.
Driving on freeway. Button to shift tranmission/gears disintegrated. Knew immediately that I would not be able to shift car into park, etc. Felt extremely dangerous since I was going 50+ mph when this happened. Based on level of complaints - see link - believe this should be addressed by recall. Also could easily cause a serious accident. . Read more...
Driving highway 15 east toward las vegas, nv. Light on instrument cluster "shutter grille problem - power reduced". Very dangerous condition as the engine power was reduced to 50 mph on the highway, I was unable to pass an 18 wheeler truck due to reduced engine power. Stopped at nearby Honda dealer, service dept. Was closed, new car manager said "I have no idea what this code means" after sitting for 15 minutes code reset itself only to come back on after another 10 minutes of driving. Temperature was 103 degrees outside. Went to Honda dealership in las vegas to be told again "have never seen this code before". No resolution - very dangerous condtion to loose 50% of engine power on the freeway.
Prior to accident, vehicle had no issues and was serviced routinely. There were 2 individuals in the car and accident took place on a two lane state road approximately 2 miles from residence. The weather was hot and sunny on the mid-afternoon of the accident. Driver noticed sputtering in the car and decided to u-turn to return to residence. As driver continued, sputtering worsened and somebody drove alongside and yelled that the vehicle appeared to be leaking gas. Very soon after, while car was driving at 5mph, the car had an explosion and flames came through the passenger window. Both driver and passenger were burned and medevac'd to local burn center. Passenger received severe 2nd and 3rd degree burns on upper half of body. Driver also received burns but not as severe. Each managed to exit vehicle before the being engulfed by flames. Vehicle is completely unrepairable and destroyed. Fire marshal report as further details on possible origins of the car fire.

Gas is getting into the oil and the engine does not heat up until many miles of driving in 40 degree temperatures, dip stick is showing over full all the time and still no fix.
I purchased a 2017 crv from ashland Honda and Toyota in ashland, WI in August 2017. On February 23, 2018, my car which has 5500 miles on it, started making a horrible noise and began losing power while on the highway. The noise continued throughout the weekend. We made an appointment with ashland Honda and Toyota to service the call. Honda corporate and the service manager (jerry) at ashland Honda and Toyota determined through video chats and conference calls that the cams were destroyed in my engine. They believe this had to do with fuel and oil mixing and getting into the engine. Honda requested that ashland Honda replace the head of the engine. They have no fix for the problem with the fuel and oil mixing and destroying the engine. The service manager said because the government is involved due to emissions, this issue will be continuing, and at this time there is no fix. He also stated that corporate informed him this was a regional issue due to our climate, and they are currently trying to figure out a software fix for the problem. No resolution at this point. Corporate further stated that they are seeing this issue when the temperature is between 10 and 30 degrees. I was offered a 100,000 extended warranty and recommended that I go to the dealer every 500 miles to get an oil change to see if fuel is mixing with the oil. Shocked at the lack of resolution, I asked the service manager if Honda corporate was comfortable giving me my car back after the cams were replaced with no resolution, and he said yes. I do not believe this is ethical at all for Honda to not have a fix to an engine problem that could endanger myself and/or my family. The car engine is being replaced when parts are delivered. Again, no resolution to the problem with the oil and gas combining and fixing issue.
Rattling noise for 1 to 3 seconds when starting the vehicle at temperatures around 35 degrees f. This occurs randomly since purchase. Have talked with dealer with no resolution.

Rattling noise for 1 or 2 seconds when starting the vehicle at temperatures around 35 degrees f.
Oil dilution. My vehicle has been inspected by my dealer and has been determined that gas is diluting the oil. This is happening about every 500 miles in warm 70+ degree weather, but happens sooner in colder weather. Because it's a pain to constantly replace the oil and filter, I have only been doing it every 500 miles. I do check the dipstick every so often to monitor the fluid level in the engine.

After stopped at a stop light when it turns green had no acceleration until pressing the gas pedal up and down twice. This has happen numerous times since then. It seems the engine stays at idle. Also have issues with the tps light going on for no reason and now a growling sound when the engine is cold and it is cold outside below 20 degrees when starting the vehicle. Manufacture not notified. These are issues that have been reported from other Cr-v owners numerous times a recall should be issued get a before someone losses there life or causes other to loose theirs.
Bought car fall 2015 w/21000 miles. First very cold day (below 0 f), I noticed the heating system as well as defrost barely worked after driving 8 miles on a country road. This repeated itself several more times before I discovered TSB 14-063 where they discovered sand had been inadequately washed from the blocks after the casting process was completed. It then settled in the heater core blocking the system from adequate defrost and heat. My dealer app't was disappointing in that they essentially told me I was lying and nothing was wrong with the system. They claimed the temp probes showed a 1/10 degree between the 2 vents - of course, I never saw the results. My warranty expires in less than a month when it will then be my responsibility to flush it myself or pay them to do it !! it's now spring so I feel that waiting for a recall could possibly put me in jeopardy as visibility during cold weather will be and has been an issue. I have a copy of the TSB and see it's supposedly a 3 12 hr obligation, but the flat rate they show is 1. 1 hours which encourages their techs to do haphazard work. Dealer was buerkle Honda, st paul,mn and my app't was in early January 2016.

The engine makes a rattling (grinding) noise during cold starts. The noise only occurs when the weather is cold <50 degrees f and only when the engine is cold. The noise does not occur when the weather is warm and the engine is warm. The noise is most likely stemming from the vtc actuator.

I am asking your assistance with a problem with my Honda crv. I took my Honda in for the airbag recall on September 1, 2015. Was told it was accomplished and drove home in the evening to discover that my Honda had no oil in it. (the checklist provided by the service technician showed that my oil was fine. ) not only is the abs light back on but my car has now developed a throttle issue. A copy of my September 17, 2015 letter to both the local Honda dealer and their corporate offices follows. At least as much of it as your form allows. I have not had the courtesy of a response from either. September 17, 2015 "Honda corporate offices via fax 310-783-3023 princeton Honda via fax 609-683-1637 I am simply going to present the facts. I do not want any telephone calls. I will accept e-mail correspondence on the matter only. (pua5@comcast. Net) on September 1st of this year, the airbag recalls for my crv were scheduled to be effected. I received a call that my car was ready at 8:30 in the morning. I picked my car up that evening after work. About 7 miles into my 12 mile trip home the engine bucked and I lost power. I was able to limp my way home where I promptly checked the oil and found to my chagrin that I there was no oil in the car. How the oil could have been fine (according to the inspection checklist) at 8 in the morning and then evaporate by 7 pm for my ride home raises many questions. The questions raised range from benign to malicious depending on the level of anxiety I am experiencing as I drive. I have been monitoring my oil consumption carefully and the car is not burning oil egregiously at present. I have never been able to afford the dealer maintenance prices but I have bought my car to over 244,000 miles with what care I could afford to give it. I had hoped for at least 300,000 miles, but I do not know how much other damage may have been caused by this event. ".

I bought a brand new Cr-v ex-l based on excellent reviews from consumer reports and edmunds. I expected the car to be perfect. However, Honda sold me the defected car without any notice even this defect was known for months. The issue is a vibration during idle. For example, when I stop on the traffic light, the passenger seat starts to shake. If I release breaks vibrations will go away. It is not normal. I noticed this problem 2 months after the purchase (or 600-700 miles). Then I went to the dealer and he told me that Honda's engineers were "working on it", no solution was found yet and I had to wait for a further notice. Visible vibrations mean that there is mechanical resonance in the car. An example of destruction due to mechanical resonance would be a collapse of tacoma narrows bridge. Thus, my safety concern is that the car can be damaged structurally. For example, few bolts may come loose and the car may disintegrate during the drive. The problem could be that a newly introduced cvt transmission in Honda Cr-v 2015 doesn't go along with the engine and they produce excessive vibrations that spread thru a car frame to the seat. Probably, the car wasn't tested properly during design process. Thus, Honda engineers overlooked this problem. I have a video file of vibrations but it's too big for upload. . Read more...
