Sudden unexpected acceleration while pulling into a parking spot.

See all problems of the 2024 Honda CR-V 🔎.

While driving on a winding, two-lane rural mountain highway, I came up behind a slower vehicle. When a designated passing lane opened up, I pulled out to overtake them. The driver ahead safely slowed way down to let me pass, so I applied normal, moderate acceleration to complete the maneuver. Mid-way through the pass, the vehicle suddenly suffered a catastrophic loss of motive power and entered "limp mode. " simultaneously, the entire dashboard lit up frantically with warning alerts indicating that virtually every advanced driver assistance system (adas) had failed. The vehicle lost nearly all forward momentum and would barely move. Because of the immediate power loss, I spent a grueling half-mile struggling to find a safe place to pull off the roadway. I was forced to come to a stop on a highly dangerous, blind mountain corner. On a highway where traffic routinely travels at 55 mph or faster, being stranded at a dead stop around a blind curve placed me in imminent danger of a severe, high-speed rear-end collision. Safety concern & product defect:while the vehicle's programming forces "limp mode" to protect the mechanical components of the engine, the real-world execution of this feature creates an extreme, life-threatening hazard. Cutting power entirely during routine highway maneuvers—such as passing or merging onto a 65+ mph freeway—renders the driver helpless. Rather than preventing damage, this defect actively creates a high-probability scenario for a fatal high-speed accident. Honda's safety systems should not prioritize engine preservation over human life. After thoroughly researching this specific failure pattern, the evidence strongly indicates that the root cause is premature fuel injector failure—an issue that is heavily documented as a common defect in this specific engine layout. This component should not be failing at this stage in the vehicle's lifespan. My husband is a certified mechanic and meticulously maintains all of our personal vehicles!.

All the warning lights on the dash board started to randomly light up like a christmas tree while driving to get something to eat. The car began to shake and the steering stiffened up while the brakes were not working well enough to stop completely causing me to turn on the hazards lights to make it back home safely with my child in the car. An obd-ii sensor reads p0087. The fear of the car turning off while driving in the rain almost caused me to try and steer clear of cars and press brakes harder to make the car stop, I was in fear my life and my child's.

I was driving my 2023 Honda crv hybrid on the [xxx] on Sunday, xxx. 5 minutes prior to reaching the interchange where the [xxx] connects to the [xxx], all of the lights on my dashboard flash on, but the car was still running. I got onto the [xxx] and prior to reaching the [xxx] exit, my car suddenly stops accelerating at full power. As I push on the accelerator, I can barely move my car. I pull over to the side of the highway and put my car in park. Quietly panicking (not to stress out my [xxx] old who was sleeping in the backseat), I put my car back in drive and see that I can slowly move forward. I get back onto the freeway and exit via the [xxx] exit. There is a park right there so I slowly circled around until I found a spot to park my car. I called aaa and they came and tested my battery and said there weren't any issues. They advised me not to drive my car anymore and called a tow, and brought my car to the Honda dealership back near me home 45 minutes away. The dealership was closed, but they called me on Monday and said they would need to diagnose my car. I preferred that my mechanic take care of my car, so I had my car towed there instead. The issue he diagnosed is provided in the screenshots: "p2101 electric throttle control system (ects) malfunction". Both my mechanic and I looked online and there seems to be an open investigation into this (NHTSA id 11556108) and when you look online, there are many other owners complaining about the same thing happening, some with much less miles on their car than mine. There is clearly an issue and something needs to be done. Having your car all of a sudden slow down drastically while driving on an extremely busy [xxx] highway with a [xxx] in your backseat was terrifying. Please investigate this further, I know I'm not the only one who has experienced this with the same model of car. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

Nhtsa safety complaint summary vehicle identification: 2021 Honda Cr-v touring (1. 5l turbo) VIN: ?[xxx]? current mileage: 91,259 miles failed component: high-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) & associated high-pressure fuel system diagnostic trouble codes: ?p0087? (fuel rail/system pressure too low) technician diagnostic findings & symptoms: vehicle experienced sudden loss of power, erratically low fuel pressure under load, hard starting, and multiple dash warning lights. Independent repair shop technician confirmed the high-pressure fuel pump was internally failing and dropping fuel pressure under load. The failing pump caused low fuel pressure readings at the fuel rail, resulting in severe engine power loss while driving. Total repair estimate amount: $3,222. 65 hpfp assembly replacement: $1,453. 78 fuel pressure rail replacement: $1,193. 80 spark plugs replacement: $318. 00 engine oil/filter change: $69. 65 safety hazard narrative: the internal mechanical failure of the high-pressure fuel pump causes a sudden loss of engine power and hesitation during vehicle acceleration, posing a severe traffic hazard and risk of rear-end collision when merging onto highways. Furthermore, internal hpfp failures on Honda 1. 5l direct-injection engines can result in fuel dilution into the engine crankcase, risking major engine damage.

While driving with my 3yr old in the car multiple dashboard warning lights suddenly illuminated simultaneously (including the check engine light, emissions system warning, and various safety sensor alerts). The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of engine power, rough idling, and hesitation upon acceleration, which created an immediate traffic hazard. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership service center. The diagnostic scan revealed a failure of the fuel injectors (with diagnostic trouble codes indicating a system too rich and cylinder misfires). The dealership service advisor informed me that this premature fuel injector failure is a highly common and widespread systemic defect with Honda’s 1. 5l turbo direct-injection engines, stating that their shop actively stocks these parts because they perform at least one of these replacements every week. This premature component failure at mileage (105,136 miles) is a severe safety risk that causes unexpected engine stalling or power loss while driving.

The check-engine light comes on immediately before the vehicle loses the ability to accelerate. While driving, including at highway speeds, pressing the accelerator does not produce normal propulsion and the vehicle loses motive power. If I pull over, turn the vehicle completely off and restart it, the check-engine light clears and normal acceleration returns. The problem is intermittent and has occurred more than once. The dealership has previously been unable to identify the cause because the vehicle operates normally after restarting.

Fuel pump injector gave out at around 25,700 miles on 2025 crv hybrid. This happened while driving and put mine and my passengers safety at risk. When it went out, I got multiple warning messages saying power system failure, blind spot monitoring system failure, and transmission system problem. My car was towed to the dealer and I was stranded 2 hours away from home in an unfamiliar city. Problem was towed directly to Honda dealer and was confirmed and repaired. The day before the problem appeared, I noticed the car seemed to make more noise than normal when switching from the battery to gas. When the incident happened, I felt the car give a big shudder and make more noise while switching from the battery to gas and then all the warning lights came on.

I own a 2024 Honda Cr-v ex-l with approximately 59,628 miles. While driving the vehicle, multiple warning lights began flashing on the dashboard. At the same time, the vehicle became difficult to drive and did not feel as though it was operating normally. I was concerned for my safety because the problem occurred while the vehicle was being driven. The vehicle was taken to two different authorized Honda dealership for diagnosis. I was informed that the fuel injectors had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealership quoted approximately $2,500 for the repair and told me that the fuel-injector failure was considered normal “wear and tear. ” I am concerned that fuel injectors would fail on a 2024 Honda Cr-v with only approximately 59,628 miles. I am particularly concerned because the failure was accompanied by multiple dashboard warning lights and made the vehicle difficult to drive. I believe this issue should be investigated as a potential safety defect because a fuel-injector failure that affects the vehicle's drivability could create a dangerous situation while the vehicle is being operated. I have contacted american Honda motor CO. Regarding the issue and requested that Honda review the fuel-injector failure for applicable warranty, emissions-warranty, service campaign, or goodwill coverage.

I was driving at 70mph on the highway when the dashboard started to display a series of problem notifications (brake problem, hill start problem, power steering problem…, etc. ). The vehicle also went into “limp mode” and slowed down to 35-40mph max. This was very dangerous given the other traffic going 70+ mph on a very busy highway. Thankfully, we were able to pull over to the shoulder and bring it to a nearby car repair shop. Based on the diagnostics, they determined that the high-pressure fuel pump had failed. They are charging us more than $1300 to fix it.

This premature component failure at low mileage (54,000 miles) is a severe safety risk that causes unexpected engine stalling or power loss while driving.

The vehicle developed an intermittent crank/no-start condition and later stalled after being driven home. An independent repair facility diagnosed the vehicle before it was taken to Honda and documented no fuel pressure at the fuel rail and diagnostic trouble code p0087 for low fuel pressure. The shop advised that Honda has a known fuel-pump issue and recommended that the vehicle be taken to a Honda dealer for recall-related repair. The vehicle was then towed to a Honda dealer. The dealer also determined that the fuel pump requires replacement. The dealer advised that the fuel pump had previously been replaced under Honda's 2021 fuel-pump recall. Honda has now denied another recall-related repair based on the dealer's claim that water is present in the fuel. I requested objective testing to document the alleged water contamination and its relationship to the pump failure. The dealer provided a photograph of cloudy fuel but did not provide a quantitative water-content test. I was told that the dealership's master technician determined that the sample contained water. The vehicle has approximately 53,700 miles. The replacement fuel pump has failed with symptoms consistent with loss of fuel pressure, including intermittent no-start and vehicle stalling. The independent shop's p0087/no-fuel-pressure diagnosis was made before the vehicle was taken to Honda. I am concerned that replacement fuel pumps installed during Honda's prior fuel-pump recall may be experiencing subsequent failures that can cause engine stalling or prevent vehicles from starting.

The hybrid fan died after 23k miles of use and put the car into limp mode on the highway, the lane departure system frequently does not work, and the car has never come to close to the estimated mpg.

I am the owner of a 2020 Honda Cr-v equipped with the 1. 5l turbocharged engine. The vehicle is experiencing a severe and dangerous engine oil dilution manufacturing defect where unburnt gasoline enters the oil pan. This is an active driving hazard. After a fresh oil change meant to remediate the issue, the oil level rapidly rose back up past the top dipstick indicator within less than 200 miles of driving, and the oil smells strongly of raw gasoline. This severe dilution degrades the engine oil viscosity, creating an immediate risk of sudden engine stalling, loss of propulsion, or catastrophic internal engine failure while driving at speed. Honda is aware of this defect on 1. 5l turbo engines but has failed to issue a recall or provide a permanent engineering solution for 2020 models. I currently have 44,443 miles on the vehicle.

Fuel pump failure 2019 Honda crv. Confirmed at a shop to be the problem but unsure if it's the high or low pressure pump. The car stalled out in an intersection and we had to roll out of the road to safety.

The rock and pinion is not working. The is an issue with the fuel emission. Engine light is on for both.

Before the recall repairs, I did not experience any loss of acceleration, hesitation, jerking, or flashing warning lights. These symptoms began only after the recall service was completed. 1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the vehicle experienced a loss of acceleration while driving. The vehicle also began to jerk or stumble, and multiple warning lights flashed on the dashboard. The vehicle is currently at the Honda dealership and is available for inspection. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the loss of acceleration created a potentially dangerous situation because the vehicle would not respond as expected while driving. I did not feel safe operating the vehicle, especially in traffic, because the vehicle hesitated and lost power. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. The vehicle was inspected by a Honda dealership. The dealership initially diagnosed a shutter grille issue (code p16e8). After that repair did not resolve the problem, the dealership later indicated that the fuel injectors might be the cause. The symptoms persisted after the initial repair. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? the vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Honda dealership. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before the failure, and when did they first appear? multiple warning lights began flashing after the recall service was completed. The symptoms, including loss of acceleration and vehicle hesitation, first appeared after the recall repairs were performed.

Manufacturer dealer diagnostic confirmed that head gasket is leaking on cylinder 1 and that this is a known issue. Vehicle just 3 months and barely 2000 miles out of new car warranty. Manufacturer fails to cover repair at 100% power loss while driving on the freeway on 2 separate occasions. Engine did not provide power in response to accelerator pedal, car slows down w/o control.

Have replaced the fuel injectors twice after completing the recalled fuel pump and now getting p0172 code with another bad injector!!! this is a piece of shit and I’m going to trade it in on a Toyota.

Car completely shut down with every warning light going off. Before 95,000 the head gasket blew with zero warning signs! all the warning lamps came on only the day the car totally stopped working. No prior warning or signs before.

My car started experiencing a loss of power and began to shake a lot when I was parked. When they put the scanner on it, it said that cylinders number 2 and 3 had faults, so they replaced them. But after a few days the same message returned, so they think it's the injectors. In addition to all that, the problem started after the fuel pump was replaced at the Honda dealership in lancaster, MA.

Multiple lights and warnings on dashboard of 2019 Honda crv. Warnings were sudden and all at once and included, emissions system problem, braking problem, power steering problem, collision mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem and many others. Honda service centers stated this is a very known problem with 2019 crv and it’s the fuel injectors and head gasket.

I request a $2,935. 58 reimbursement from Honda for a catastrophic manufacturing defect on my 2020 Cr-v (78,248 miles). This includes a $2,105. 58 dealer repair bill and an $830. 00 emergency highway tow bill. Honda corporate denied goodwill solely on mileage, ignoring proof of an internal component defect. The failure & safety risk: while driving on a highway, the vehicle suddenly lost propulsion and entered a dangerous "limp mode" in active traffic. This immediate safety hazard forced an emergency $830 flatbed tow directly to an authorized Honda dealership. Certified dealer diagnosis: factory technicians diagnosed the failure at 78,248 miles. The itemized invoice documents diagnostic trouble code (dtc) p0087 (fuel rail pressure too low). Physical testing confirmed the high-pressure fuel pump suffered a total internal mechanical collapse, outputting a baseline of only 300 psi instead of the required 2,000+ psi. The dealer verified the failure was entirely internal. Extreme price markups: to remain mobile, I paid $2,100. 00 out of pocket. The dealership charged $996. 91 for the part (msrp is ~$530) and $971. 52 for labor for a highly accessible part that requires only 1. 2 to 1. 5 factory book hours. This is an unreasonable financial penalty for a defective part. Flawless maintenance: direct-injection high-pressure pumps rely on clean oil for lubrication. I have meticulously serviced this vehicle with professional oil changes and check-ups every 5 months without exception. My records prove zero oil dilution or neglect. The collapse was structural, not operational. Known defect patterns: Honda has issued major safety recalls (like NHTSA campaign 24v-763000) for internal structural cracking and sudden pressure drops within their high-pressure fuel pump assemblies on identical engine families. My pump failed in the exact same manner. Remedy sought: order Honda to reimburse the full $2,935. 58 for the repair and tow bills. All receipts are attached.

7-16-26, I was driving on the highway. All the warning lights on the dash lit up. The car dropped down to 20 miles per hour. I tried to speed up, but could not. It is experiencing an extended crank, sever stuttering and engine stalling. It has actively thrown code p0087 for low fuel rail pressure. An independent service center confirmed the code p0087. The dealership performed diagnostic test and confirmed code p0087. The component was part of recall: 21v-215. There were no other warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. My car is currently at the dealership because Honda has denied the claim. I have a 3 day free loaner from the dealership. I have escalated to Honda corp. I will need a car for longer than 3 days while I wait for the escalations department to make a final decision.

Multiple times when stopped at a stop light, the vehicle will stall and die. Car requires restarting ignition to run. A mechanic believes it is the fuel injector system (either defective or worn) that is causing these stall issues. This is a safety problem as I was almost hit several times by other cars on the road.

Multiple lights and warnings on dashboard of 2019 Honda crv. Car would not reverse. Warnings were all at once and included, emissions system problem, braking problem, power steering problem, collision mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem and many others. Honda mechanic stated this is a very known problem with 2019 crv and it’s the fuel injectors and head gasket.

Emission warning light along with lkas, acc, brake system are coming on the dash. No driveability issues. The dealership in walnut creek pull code and find p0304 missfire #4 cyclinde, test #1 and #2 fail. Recommending to replace all 4 injectors.

The check engine light came on right after my warranty expired two winters ago but then went off. Since then I randomly comes on and goes off. I decided to buy a diagnostic kit and see that it is faulting on the evac system with 6 error codes. I know this is a known issue with my make and model but Honda has yet to issue a recall.

The fuel injector system failed or malfunctioned. This past Tuesday while going to merge onto the highway the car stalled and would not move beyond 40 mph which nearly led to a collision because I was unable to accelerate to merge with traffic flowing at a high speed. Immediately after this all of the dashboard warning indicatros came on. It was terrifying to say the least because we could have been in a serious auto accident. I was forced to pull into the break down lane and move along at a slow speed until I was able to navigate to a safe location. There were no lights or prior warnings leading up to the event to indicate there was a problem. I also had this same issue two years ago in 2024. Both times I have been told it is related to the fuel injectors and has cost me over $5,000 out of pocket to repair. This does not include having to find alternate transportation and missing work to have the car repaired. I spoke with the mechanic at colonial Honda of dartmouth,MA and asked if this was normal for a car to have the same issue with this part or to have it happen within such a short time frame and he said no that it was not common. Both times they have repaired the car. The car is currently running fine but I have fear that it will randomly happen again without warning and I may not be as fortunate to escape a collison.

I was pulling into a parking space at church. I had my foot lightly on the brake as the idle speed was sufficient to enter the parking space. When I pressed on the brake to stop the car completely the brakes failed and the car lurched forward about 10 ft and hit the church building damaging my front left bumper, buckling the hood and components behind the bumper.

Car suddenly fails to accelerate and dashboard lights all go off. Multiple repairs of fuel pumps have not fixed the issue. Mechanics cant find why it's not being solved.

Car was idling rough, then a couple weeks later all dash light warnings came on. Took to dealership, said fuel injectors 2 and 4 were bad.

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.
