Other Fuel System Problems of Honda CR-V - part 1

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.

While getting the Cr-v fuel pump mtr saf recall fixed on my vehicle, the dealership found a crack in the fuel pump module. They also said there is a leak in the head gasket and a purge flow malfunction. They stopped any work on my vehicle and said I needed to replace my vehicle with a new vehicle. If a Honda dealership is not willing to work on my vehicle, what am I supposed to do with it?.

A franchised dealership has actively undermined a federal safety mandate, creating an immediate vehicle fire hazard. On [xxx], I took my 2018 Honda Cr-v to bedard bros Honda in cheshire, MA, for NHTSA safety recall campaign 23v-858 (fuel pump module). During the service, the dealer identified a cracked fuel pump housing and attempted to charge me a $390 fee to replace it. When I declined this commercial upcharge on a safety recall, the technician reassembled the pressurized fuel system using the broken housing and released the vehicle to me. Prior to this appointment, the vehicle had no fuel leaks or odors. Immediately upon driving the vehicle home and parking it, the vehicle began actively leaking raw gasoline, filling the cabin with toxic, flammable vapors. The dealership’s decision to perform a federal safety recall inside a known broken component, and subsequently release a vehicle with a compromised fuel system to avoid completing a free repair, has created an active fire emergency. The dealer invoice explicitly documents the crack and their attempted charge. I am requesting a formal investigation into this dealership's handling of campaign 23v-858. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.

As I was pulling into a parking space inside a parking structure, ground floor, my car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb, going through landscape hedge and landing on front hood of a parked vehicle outside of the parking structure. I heard the engine accelerate, but had no way of stopping or controlling the car. A very similar accident took place in this car on [xxx]. Same situation: pulling into a parking space, car suddenly accelerates; no way to stop vehicle in time to avoid accident. A separate incident report has been submitted to NHTSA. Gov on June 11, 2026 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.

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!.

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.

My car stalls out when accelerating. The same issue explained by NHTSA recall 23v-858 but my VIN is not included in the recall and it's a 2017 Honda crv. I have almost been re ended when it stalls in traffic.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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).

Vehicle slow cranks when engine is being turned on. When driving and rpm reaches over 2000, vehicle stalls and puts the owner at risk of crash or injury. All warning lights are turned on. Safety is at risk due to the vehicle stalling it has been confirmed by an independent service center. The Honda dealership has refused service and refused on honoring recall due to VIN not listed on recall number 22v-380 no all warning lights came on along with the symptoms is stalling and slow cranking.

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.

I have a 2017 crv 1. 5t. I currently have confirmed fuel dilution and a p219f (emission systems problem) code. Records show TSB 18-114 was performed as Honda tried to fix the fuel dilution problem through an ecm software update but it did not fix the issue. They followed it up with TSB 19-067 which was to further update the ecm software. The problem is this was not applied to all crv 1. 5t including mine. This is known ongoing defect and leads to car going into limp mode in highway driving. That is dangerous and a safety hazard. Honda should update the ecm software fix for all Honda crvs using the 1. 5t and replace faulty fuel injectors.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the fuel delivery system and engine power management. The vehicle suffers from sudden "limp mode" activation and total loss of acceleration. The vehicle is available for inspection. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? my safety was severely compromised when the vehicle suddenly lost power while traveling at highway speeds. This occurred twice in high-speed traffic, creating an immediate risk of a rear-end collision as the vehicle could no longer maintain the flow of traffic or accelerate away from danger. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no. The issue was reported to a dealer in 2024, but because the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) turned off after a restart, the dealer was unable to reproduce the failure or find stored error codes at that time. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? yes, it was inspected by an authorized Honda dealer in 2024, but no repairs or actions were taken as they could not replicate the fault. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no. There were no prior symptoms or early warnings. In both incidents (2024 and yesterday), the engine light illuminated simultaneously with a sudden, localized loss of speed and a total inability to power up or accelerate while on the highway.

1. The vehicle accelerated rapidly and uncontrollably without my touching the gas pedal and despite my slamming the breaks. 2 the vehicle jumped a curb and slammed into a parked car. Someone could have been easily killed if they were in front of the vehicle. 3. Not yet. I will have it towed to the dealer tomorrow. 4. No, see #3 above. 5. No. This was the first time this happened.

My 2018 crv was taken to dick ide Honda for a recall on my fuel pump. The next day I was driving my car and it just stopped running and I drifted off to the side of the road. It would not start up but had power in the car. No warning signs or lights. I had it towed back to dealer that just worked on it and they stated that they did nothing wrong and and now they need to do a system check / diagnosis at $185. 00 an hour to see what is wrong with it. My car worked fine before the dealer had it and now it doesn't work. And they are going to charge me for diagnosing it. I don't feel comfortable or trust that they have checked my car for whatever mistakes or faulty parts they may have used and my safety is in jeopardy.

When driving on the highway at the speed of traffic, the check engine light appeared and was followed by a loss of engine power. Vehicle had to be pulled over to the shoulder. After shutting the vehicle off and turning it back on, engine power was restored. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety is a major concern if unable to move the vehicle out of traffic before coming to a stop with no power. The Honda dealer ran a diagnostic and did not find an issues. They were also unable to reproduce the problem. The vehicle has not been inspected by any other parties. -1st incident: August 15, 2025 -2nd incident: October 31, 2025 -inspected by dealer: November 13, 2025 -3rd and most recent incident: April 2, 2026.

After we had our car serviced for the two recalls on the car, all of the check engine lights came back on again a little over one week later. We took it back to the dealership today and were told the fuel injectors need to be replaced, and they said this is a "common problem. " we have been researching this issue and it is a common problem, so why isn't there a fuel injector recall? our car has less than 54,000 miles on it but Honda is saying we will need to pay over $1700 for new fuel injectors, despite that this is a known problem.

I am reporting a potential safety recall violation by Honda mall of georgia (3699 buford dr, buford, GA 30519). My vehicle experienced engine noise, vibration, and warning indicators, which the dealership attributed to 'fuel contamination' to deny warranty coverage (attached), and charged approximately $3,392. 99 for repairs. However, I have a certified laboratory analysis (attached) from the georgia department of agriculture confirming the fuel met all state quality standards and had no contamination at costco gas. Costco also provided supporting document (attached) that there was no contamination and there were no other customers reporting such issue. The vehicle required a second repair (attached) for the engine issue immediately after the first, further proving the failure was not 'bad fuel' related. Despite my state-certified proof, the dealer refuses to provide any documentation for their claim of 'bad fuel. ' I believe the dealership has intentionally misdiagnosed a known defect covered under federal safety recall 24v-763 / qk8 (cracked high-pressure fuel pump) to avoid performing a free recall repair.

"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.

On March 28, 2026, the check engine light illuminated on my 2017 Honda Cr-v ex (VIN [xxx] ) at 59,057 miles. I pulled diagnostic trouble codes with a consumer obd-ii reader and recorded p0301, p0302, and p0303. On March 30, 2026, I contacted american Honda customer service to request goodwill repair assistance. I was told to obtain an authorized dealer diagnostic and resubmit. I did so. On March 31, 2026, I had goudy Honda perform an authorized diagnostic (repair order #315466. Goudy confirmed the stored dtcs were p0300 (random misfire detected), p0301 (cylinder 1 misfire detected), and p0302 (cylinder 2 misfire detected). The dealer recommended replacement of all four fuel injectors at a quoted cost of $1,961. 17 plus tax, and stated the injectors were out of factory, powertrain, and emission warranties. This dtc set (p0300–p0304 and p0172) is the exact set addressed by american Honda motor CO. 's own service bulletin 18-124 and service bulletin 19-037. On April 10, 2026, Honda corporate denied assistance on the ground that the vehicle is "out of warranty. " on April 20, 2026, a Honda corporate representative named desiree called me to say that american Honda will not document in writing the reasoning for the denial and will send only a generic template. This matches the pattern of consumer complaints described in bissell v. American Honda motor CO which catalogs hundreds of similar odi complaints and alleges that american Honda has known of, and concealed, a defect in its 1. 5l I-vtec turbocharged engine since at least 2016. Safety concern: misfire events at freeway speed produce sudden loss of power, limp-mode activation, and the risk of unexpected deceleration in traffic. The class complaint documents multiple incidents of sudden stalls and engine failures in comparable vehicles, including on highways. I am filing this complaint to ensure odi has a record of this incident and to support any existing or future investigation of this engine. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia).

System/component involved: fuel system / fuel injectors / high-pressure fuel joint pipe description of incident and safety risk: my 2017 Honda Cr-v (1. 5t engine) experienced a fuel system failure evidenced by dtc p0172 and a failed af cylinder test, confirmed by an authorized Honda dealer. This failure leads to engine hesitation and power loss, creating a safety hazard during operation. More critically, during the repair (case #16244235), the dealer and manufacturer refused to replace the high-pressure fuel joint pipe. According to Honda’s official service manual and tsbs for the earth dreams 1. 5t engine, this pipe is a mandatory, one-time-use component that must be replaced whenever fuel injectors are serviced. Reusing this component violates Honda’s own safety protocols and poses a severe fire risk due to potential fuel leakage under high pressure ($20\text{ mpa}$+). Safety risk to others: reinstalling a non-reusable high-pressure fuel line creates a high probability of fuel spraying onto hot engine components, leading to an under-hood fire while driving. This endangers the occupants and others on the road. Reproduction and inspection: the injector failure was confirmed by [insert dealer name] in houston, TX. The subsequent safety violation (failure to replace the mandatory fuel joint pipe) is documented on my repair invoice dated April 2026. The vehicle and the old part (if still on the car) are available for inspection. Symptoms and warning lamps: the check engine light (dtc p0172) appeared shortly before the failure, accompanied by a strong gasoline odor and engine stalling symptoms.

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.

First owner of a newly purchased 2017 Honda Cr-v that has been well and regularly maintained. Driving at 25mph in a city and every single warning light and dash light simultaneously came on. Every single one -- brakes, headlights, emergency brake, engine, etc. Eventually codes read off the car's computer showed p0172, p219c, p219f -- all of these codes relate to the fuel injectors. I brought the car to a Honda dealer and they confirmed that all of the fuel injectors needed to be replaced and said the fuel injectors are "faulty" and "from a bad batch. " lots of Honda forums online talking about faulty fuel injectors. A whole thread on 2017 Cr-v fuel injector problems can be easily found online along with service bulletins for fuel injector problems (with the code p0172) for similar year, different model Honda vehicles. The dealership confirmed the fuel injector problem but then said they couldn't source the parts despite a "global search" and putting us on a "critical list. " we then went to a competent independent mechanic who was able to source Honda oem fuel injector replacement kit from a different Honda dealership (not sure why the first Honda dealership couldn't get the parts then. . . ) the independent mechanic said the fuel injectors looked "terrible" and "definitely faulty. " he sent us home with the old parts, which we have and could supply. Faulty fuel injectors affecting the propulsion system feels unsafe and the fact that Honda told us "you are out of luck" with regard to replacements was especially aggravating. We had no chance to pursue a goodwill repair of the issue even though our independent mechanic did find the parts at Honda in spite of the first dealership's claim of a global search. The service that was performed included replacing all fuel injectors and whatever is in the associated oem kit. In summary, fuel injector problems caused all warning lights to come in, dealership confirmed problem, mechanic repaired, many reports of same issue online.

Started with what sounds like a pump running after car shut down then today whole garage smelled like gasoline.
