Other Fuel System Problems of Honda CR-V - part 2

I first noticed an issue with my car on October 16th. All the dashboard lights came on as if the car had a new battery while I was driving. My Honda dealership said: explanation: fuel system too rich due to faulty fuel injectors. Repairs to be completed: replace fuel injectors, gaskets, spark plugs all suggested repairs were done because I need a car the cost, $2,557. 28 I filed a case with Honda corporate and they said it was due to my car's age and linked to maintenance. I've always had my crv serviced at Honda dealerships and my car is only a 2018.

1. Google maps does not work in applecarplay like it does in the 2025 models. The car speed bounces between certain numbers and the speed seriously lags speed numbers are not bouncing. This is a safety issue because there is not a single navigation application that works on that carplay and I then have to rely on my phone again which can be distracting. 2. The fuel economy is much worse than stated in Honda literature. The freeway mpg is not 31 but 26.

Fuel smell when vehicle is parked overnight. The smell is inside the cabin especially stronger near the rear left passenger door where the filler fuel is located. This has been happening even in summer temperatures, not just cold weather like some people have mentioned in forums or online.

The above would not let me check all of the boxes. I’m having continued problems with my 2022 Honda crv hybrid touring, with every warning light on the car all of a sudden starts flashing and eventually the car looses complete power. This is the third time it has happened to me, and after taking it to two different Honda dealerships, no one can tell me what is going on, and then they send me back out on the road, only for it to happen again. Every warning light on the car lights up and every bell goes off. Yet, no one can tell me a thing! it’s resulted in me being stranded and the car inoperable.

My 2017 Honda Cr-v experienced premature and sudden fuel injector failure that I believe is part of a widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 Cr-v models. In April, multiple warning lights came on several times (“10-point” dashboard lights). I went to different mechanics, and one recommended a brake fluid flush, which I completed. The warnings continued. Later, while driving, I heard a sudden, harsh crunching sound from the engine area. I immediately pulled over out of concern for safety. The vehicle still moved but did not feel safe to drive, so I cautiously limped it home and canceled clients. I took the vehicle to south point Honda in durham, nc. Their diagnosis confirmed that all four fuel injectors had failed, and they quoted $1,679. 99. I then had the repair completed at a Honda/Acura specialty shop for $1,273. 12. Fuel injectors are not a regular maintenance item, and many other Cr-v owners have reported the same problem. These injector failures can cause misfires, loss of power, or engine damage while driving, which is a safety concern. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate premature injector failure in 2017–2019 Honda Cr-v models.

Unexpected sudden acceleration. 2017 Honda Cr-v. Twice while highway driving with autopilot on, system failed to slow it when approaching other vehicles and it sped up instead. When I pumped the brakes, it went away. I took it off autopilot henceforth. Several days later, coming out of a market parking lot and approaching a stop sign, the accelerator went down and sped me forward with brakes doing barely anything. I shot into a cvs parking lot, managed to stop it and turn the engine off. It's sitting in a garage now and no one knows what to do and I am terrified to drive it. Could have killed me or others around me. It was not the floor mat nor anything I did.

I am reporting a severe safety defect involving the engine and fuel injector system that began two months ago at ?108k miles (now 109k miles). I have not yet taken the vehicle in for service due to the estimated high repair cost of $2,900. It is critical to note that the same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not fixed for my 2019 model year. This indicates a persistent manufacturing or design flaw that warrants an immediate investigation into my model year. The defect manifests regularly, causing a cylinder 2 misfire (p0302) and making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of power. This creates a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. More dangerously, when the misfire occurs, the vehicle instantly disables critical driver assistance systems—adaptive cruise control (acc) and lane keep assist (lkas)—without any advanced warning. This malfunction is an unreasonable safety risk: crash hazard: the unprompted power loss and concurrent disabling of safety features create an immediate, dangerous situation. Fire hazard: the persistent misfire strongly suggests a failed or stuck-open fuel injector, which causes fuel dilution of the engine oil. This contamination can lead to engine failure or, critically, a fuel leak onto hot engine components that poses an extreme fire risk. I urge NHTSA to investigate why this defect persists and to mandate a comprehensive recall to protect the public from this ongoing, life-threatening safety risk. The failed component may be available for inspection upon request.

Fuel injectors failed at less than 3,000 miles. Two fuel injectors failed, per Honda service department, and it never recorded or served any error codes when they checked the history. It also did not display any dashboard warnings. I only knew there was an issue from heavy transition between gas and ev mode, and there was a strong burning odor in the cabin. Caused lightheartedness and coughing for occupants.

This complaint is in regards to three engine failures for my vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in October of 2017. In October 2020 this vehicle suffered a malfunction of the fuel injector systems. Warning lights were enabled prior to losing full power of the vehicle at this time and it was brought in for repair. In June 2025, my vehicle began losing power while actively driving resulting in the car and myself being put in potentially dangerous conditions on the road. The car would fail to accelerate and move. The car had to be coasted back to an area of safety. There were no warning lights prior to this happening. Warning lights came on hours later after attempting to address the issue. At that time in June 2025, my car was found to have a blown head gasket from an unknown cause per the dealership. I was without a car for approximately 3 weeks which was devastating for my family and caused hardship. As well as a financial burden from the costly repairs. In September 2025, my car again lost power and was required to be towed to the dealership. At this time I was told again that the fuel injectors needed replaced due to failure. Warning lights did not display prior to the power failure, they displayed after the fact as we attempted to find a cause at the scene. This was a sudden power failure that could have been potentially dangerous.

Injector failure.

Dear sir/madam, I am writing to report a serious safety concern with my 2023 Honda Cr-v all-wheel drive, regular gasoline version. On three separate occasions while driving at high speed on the highway, my vehicle suddenly lost power and the engine stalled without warning. When this occurred, the starter would not engage, the vehicle had no electrical power, and multiple warning messages appeared on the dashboard, including emission system problem and all-wheel drive system problem. This type of sudden stall while driving at highway speed creates an extremely dangerous situation and puts both the driver and other motorists at serious risk. I am aware that Honda has issued fuel pump recalls for the 2023 Cr-v hybrid models. However, my vehicle is the regular gasoline version, and based on my experience, I strongly believe that a similar fuel pump defect exists in these models as well. I respectfully request that this issue be investigated as a potential safety defect, and that Honda initiates a recall for the regular gasoline Cr-v models to address this problem.

Defective feel pump causes all lights on the dash to turn on, and also causes the car to stall/misfire. When you try to accelerate. We've had this same problem over and over again even after the recall that supposedly fixed the issue.

•what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? othe component that was identified as the issue was the fuel injectors had a leak, causing them to not get enough fuel. •how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? oi was told by the dealership that if not fixed, the leak would get bigger over time and could cause the engine to stall. I was told by the dealership that they were seeing more and more of these cases and had replaced the injectors on a year-old model the prior week to recommending the replacement for our vehicle. •has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? oi took the vehicle into our local Honda dealership to have them diagnose the cause. •has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? ounknown •were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem before the failure, and when did they first appear? othe car would flash various warning lights, not pointing to a single system. Then it would stop for a few days, only to pop up again a day later.

The high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump malfunctioned and no, it is not available for inspection upon request. The car all of a sudden got stalling while running at 45 mph and got jerking continuously. After the incident, the car was taken to a dealer for a diagnosis and the dealer inspected that the high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump got malfunctioned. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure and they first appeared when the incident occured.

Hi I have been trying to take care of fuel pump related recall for a while and went to millers Honda nys reg r- 4040274 3 times and every time I realize there is problems with vehicles safety features and acceleration and it won’t pass inspection. Few times it felt like as if vehicle would stop in the middle of the road because I couldn’t accelerate. Recently I was charged almost 1500 dollars for a problem they should have fixed in 2023. In 2023 I attempted to make a complaint with the dmv and they temporarily fixed the problem and it would come back time to time. Please help and investigate.

The vehicle took a long time to start, was shaking and all warning lamps were on the dashboard. I took it to a Honda dealer and the code was p0087 fuel rail pressure too low. There was a recall for the lower pressure fuel pump, so they replaced it, but they are also claiming that the high pressure fuel pump needs to be replaced and is not under a recall. I see there is a a recall for 2023-2025 models, but not my vehicle (2019). I will be stuck with a $2,000 repair.

While I was driving my engine installed and all of the lights on my dashboard lit up, including, but not limited to the check, engine, tire, pressure and disabling of all of my safety features. Once I had it towed to the Honda dealership, I was told my fuel pump was not working. As I was on the interstate, my car stalling was absolutely a risk for a collision. When I asked the technician what could’ve caused this problem he said “I’m not sure but we’ve had a few of these recently. ” so I feel like it has been reproduced. Prior to the failure, there was no sign of issue. I recently (August 15th) had my car serviced for an oil change and there were no issues.

My cruise control will not work. Lane departure is not working. All my lights are on in my new vehicle I just purchased. Bad fuel injectors seem to be the problem. Honda should recall these bad fuel injectors before a serious accident occurs.

In early August 2025, driving on the highway with my car behaving entirely normally, my entire dashboard lit up-- all error lights, check engine, transmission, emissions, blind spot- everything. After reading on the internet a bit I read that there could have been a 12v battery power surge, and to disconnect and reconnect the battery. All lights cleared, car behaved normally. During the last week of August, my car began revving unreasonably high on a long drive (at the 300 mile point) and it seemed as though gears were slipping- I was hitting the gas to accelerate and the car was not accelerating equally. This is a huge safety concern- particularly when going uphill on a highway and the car can just barely make it up the hill (I'm basically flooring the gas) and also a safety concern when switching lanes- the power is not there. I went to the dealer immediately after this. The dealer ran error codes and found none (as no lights returned). The dealer checked my spark plugs and said they were worn and replaced them (which is unreasonable at 21,000 miles). The problem was not resolved. I have since gone to two additional Honda dealers and both told me there is nothing wrong with the car- because no error codes appeared. I believe these problems are related to the ecvt as others have reported, and believe that the recall needs to be expanded.

My car has had trouble starting when sitting for long periods of time or in moderate heat. I've also noticed the gas per mile has decreased. The 2017 year of my car has a recall for the fuel pump. Mine is just one year earlier but my mechanic says it could also be the fuel pump. I have less than 80k miles on the car and I've seen that on the 2017-2022 years with the recall, this problem happens around the 75k-80k mile mark on the car. I think my 2016 should also be recalled for the fuel pump.

Failed emissions with code p0172 (system too rich) at 69,000 miles. Warning lights then appeared on the dash for almost every vehicle system, including brake system problem, brake hold system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, power steering system problem, tmps problem, stability control problem, and others. Upon inspection, the problem was determined to be with the fuel injectors which needed to be replaced.

I was driving to work and all of the lights on my dash came on and the vehicle would not go over 15 mph. I had semis passing me trying to get my car back home. I had it towed to the nearest Honda dealership where all of my Hondas are repaired, john hinderer in heath, OH. They received the vehicle and called me to tell me that it was the high pressure fuel pump that was not working. I inquired if it would be covered under warranty and told me due to the age of the vehicle it was not under warranty, any longer even the the miles were very low. The vehicle is a 2016 but only has 32,170 miles on it. So, I asked how that could happen with a vehicle with so little miles, he did have an answer. He quoted me $1,800. 00 to fix it, telling me that the part alone was $1,200. 00. After I got off the phone with him I researched the part and found it on Honda's corporate website for $559. 43. I sent him a text message showing the price that I found it for and sent a message to the dealership on line. I have yet to hear from them, but they still have my vehicle. I did a little more research this morning and found that certain 2016 crvs have a recall for the fuel pump module. It is NHTSA recall number 23v-858, but my VIN # is not listed with a recall. I believe that my vehicle should be included in this recall. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

High pressure fuel pump failed , could smell gas in air vents. Honda claims it’s separate from its other recall for a fuel pump. Car had been working fine, sudden issue, all lights came on , car started to stutter on acceleration. Had to be towed. No issues prior.

At around 88,400 miles my enging light came on saying I had an "emissions problem. " shortly after the emissions problem was being signaled, several other lights came on including, abs problem, adaptive cruise control problem, electronic break problem and several others. I took my car to a Honda dealership's service shop to have a dianostics test run. According the the report the "check found code p0172 fuel systtem too rich. " "performed a/f test, cyl,1,2,3 failed too rich. " and they recommended replacing the injectors and I opted to have it done by them. When asked if that seemed ealrier for fuel injectors to go, the service rep said yes that they typically last the life of the egine.

All auxiliary safety system warning lights came on at once, with abs, tpms, collision avoidance and adaptive cruise all rendered inoperable. Dealer says faulty fuel injectors are to blame. . Read more...

All lights on dash coming on. Codes p0172 and p0303 pop up on obd scanner. Mafs , spark plugs, ignition coils and air filters all replaced. Car goes into limp mode. 124,800 miles. Dealer says fuel injectors failed and needs replacing, research shows this is a common issue for the. 2017 crv Honda edition. Mpg never dropped , remained. 33. 1. When codes cleared, car functions like normal.

On [xxx] while making a left turn from [xxx] onto [xxx] , my 2013 Honda Cr-v began shaking and making a humming noise just before it suddenly shut off in the middle of the intersection, nearly causing a collision. There were no dashboard warning lights or error messages before the failure. The vehicle is currently in the same condition, and the fuel pump remains installed and is available for inspection upon request. No mechanic, dealer, manufacturer, police, or insurance representative has inspected the vehicle since the incident. The tow truck driver who transported the car, based on the absence of the fuel pump sound, suspected the fuel pump was malfunctioning. I replaced the battery following the incident, but the problem persists. While the official recall website indicates no open recalls for my specific VIN, there are two recalls issued for the 2013 Honda Cr-v model related to similar fuel pump issues. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While driving at highway speeds almost a total loss of engine power occurred causing a safety issue. Five warning indicators lit at this time: tire pressure monitoring system malfunction indicator lamp (check engine) vehicle stability assist warning electric power steering warning this problem resulted in a Honda dealer service replacement of the high pressure fuel pump which cost me over $2800 and another $400 for a rental car. There was a recall for the 2017-2020 crv for an identical(?) issue. This 2016 may have been a later manufacture and had the same fuel pump. A very reputable local garage examined the car and were unwilling to repair the crv because they were quite familiar with the frequent and problematic Honda crv high pressure fuel pump issues. It was drellishak's service in rocky river ohio.

To whom it may concern, while driving my 2019 Honda Cr-v awd ex, multiple warning lights suddenly illuminated on the dashboard, including the check engine light, vsa (vehicle stability assist), tpms, and collision mitigation system. This has occurred multiple times and appears to be a well-documented issue among other Honda Cr-v owners. The dealer diagnosed a faulty fuel injector system (code p0172 – system too rich) and recommended a full injector replacement. This issue matches known cases addressed under Honda TSB 19-072, but is not currently covered under a full recall. The sudden illumination of all warning lights, combined with reduced power, is a serious safety concern as it may cause loss of control or delayed response in critical traffic situations. We have been quoted between $1,200 and $2,500 to repair this issue, which is a significant expense for a defect Honda is already aware of. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be fully covered by Honda, along with any related systems affected by this issue. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 Cr-v models and issue a recall. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards,.

Over a distance of 1,718 miles, I measured my vehicle’s actual fuel consumption by recording odometer readings and fuel volume at each refill. I then compared these values to the average fuel economy (mpg) displayed on the vehicle's trip computer. The dashboard consistently underreported fuel consumption by approximately 8% ± 2%, always showing more optimistic (I. E. , better) fuel economy than actually achieved. This discrepancy is repeatable and was observed over multiple refueling intervals. The vehicle and its onboard display system are available for inspection upon request. This inaccurate fuel economy reading does not present a direct safety hazard, but it can mislead drivers into overestimating range and efficiency, and may influence consumer decisions based on performance data that does not match real-world usage. Additionally, such behavior—if widespread—could be considered a form of consumer deception. I submitted a detailed written request to an authorized Honda dealership (victory Honda of san bruno) asking them to compare actual fuel consumption to the displayed value under controlled conditions. However, the dealership did not perform the required measurements or reset the trip computer, and no technical analysis or documentation was provided. The manufacturer’s customer service reviewed the complaint but closed the case without addressing the technical discrepancy or providing a specification that defines acceptable error for the fuel economy display. There were no warning lights, error messages, or symptoms indicating a malfunction. The issue was discovered independently through manual tracking of fuel usage versus mileage. I have attached documentation including my full correspondence with Honda customer service, fuel receipts for each fill-up, photographs of the dashboard display showing average fuel consumption, and the official service report from victory Honda.

On 7/21/2025, the car smelled of rotten eggs. When I got home I checked the Honda website for recalls. There is a recall on the fuel pump for my type of car, but not with my VIN number. I researched that if the fuel pump goes without repair it can lead to the catalytic converter needing replaced. So, I went outside to go get some dinner and the car wouldn't start. Everything inside flashed a few times and then went dead. This car is only 4 years old. I believe they've missed my car on their recall list.

Shortly after purchasing car I started getting all the error messages showing after I started the car and they would remain on sometimes it repeatedly happened. I brought it up to dealer several times during and in addition to maintenance and they told me it was not something they could replicate and found no issues. I was told it was the battery but it still happened after battery was replaced. On 07/17/25, with only 137000 miles on the vehicle, the error messages all came on again and the vehicle stalled at a stoplight. It would not shift into gear. Vehicle was towed where they had to replace engine valve cover gasket and the timing chain. The replaced parts listed: rtv gasket, cam chain tensioner, tensioner filter, 2 cam chain tensioner arms, cam chain guide, vtc ex actuator assy, vtc in actuator assy, flange bolt, cam chain guide b, oil seal, chain, and and new oil. I know this is a known issue with the engine in this model and not an uncommon issue that Honda has refused to admit.

I am submitting this complaint due to repeated and unresolved safety and performance issues. Beginning in mid-2023, the vehicle experienced multiple system-wide failures, including: -all dashboard warning lights illuminating intermittently without cause, sometimes for days. -sudden failure to accelerate after stopping, including stalling in intersections. -engine running rich with repeated check engine light activations. On two occasions, the vehicle stalled in the middle of busy intersections, once with my one-year-old child in the car, posing a serious risk to my family and other drivers. The dealership replaced the a/c control unit (June 2023) citing it as the cause of the system alerts, but no improvement was seen. The dealership then diagnosed a faulty vsa unit, quoted $2,500, but never ordered the part or followed up. A third-party shop (mr. Tire) diagnosed a faulty ecm, which the dealership ignored. In September 2023, dealership recommended replacing the fuel injectors, which I paid for out-of-pocket (~$1,000), which resolved the warning lights and stalling. However, ongoing problems persist: the air conditioning system is no longer cooling effectively, despite prior repair. The car also feels underpowered when accelerating or starting, with weak engine revving compared to when the car was new. While no current warning lights appear, the performance is noticeably degraded. In April 2025, the vehicle’s fuel pump was finally replaced under Honda’s service bulletin recall after being on the waiting list for the parts for nearly 1. 5 years, but these other concerns remain unresolved. I am submitting this complaint because: the stalling incidents created serious safety hazards in live traffic. The vehicle has experienced repeated systemic failures that align with known issues reported by other 2018 Cr-v owners. Despite multiple dealership visits and significant personal expense, the vehicle has not been restored to reliable and safe operating condition.
