Power Train Problems of Honda CR-V - part 2

I have a 2024 Honda Cr-v hybrid awd sport model. On two occasions within the past 3 months, I have attempted to start the car, but when I did so, the dashboard lights, including all the error indicators lit up and flashed, the alarm went off, and I couldn't drive the car. In both cases, I called roadside assistance. While waiting for the tow truck, we were able to shut off the car and alarm by putting the car into "accessory mode," (pushing the ignition button without a foot on the brake. ) but when we then tried to start the car normally (pushing start button with foot on brake) the electrical light show resumed and alarm started up all over again. Both times this happened, by the time the tow truck arrived (1-2. 5 hours) the car had "rebooted" so we just drove home. The first time this occurred, the Honda dealer had just performed the recall repair to the steering gear box 2 days before the first electrical failure.

I replaced fuel injectors in my 2017 Honda crv in September 2024 at northtown Honda in buffalo, NY. In November 2024 my girlfriend was driving the vehicle in michigan and the car slowed down to below 20 mph on the highway and flashed all dashboard warning lights, what Honda refers to as "limp mode". This almost caused her get hit by a semi truck. The car was towed to Honda of grand blanc and I was told it needs a new turbo. The turbo was replaced and then in December 2024 the car again broke down while I was visiting toronto, canada. I had to pay for a tow back to northtown Honda where I was informed that the vehicle needs a new engine and turbo. I have taken very good care of my vehicle, always done proper maintenance and oil changes. This model is known for some oil dilution problems and I was never informed of that from northtown Honda where I regularly maintenance my vehicle. The car is currently at northtown Honda as they told me the bill is around $12k and I can't afford to pay that.

This is a complaint that both american Honda and my local dealer, dick brooks Honda (of greer, south carolina) have failed to provide remedy for recall 24v-744 in the 60 day timeframe.

This car does not seem fuel efficient it goes through gas like candy. The gas is not filling up correctly - no matter which gas station I use. The ac lets out puddles of water. The suspension is slightly off it acts like an row boat on waves so like an s in certain rain situations like it has a loose slippery power steering suspension. My tires are not the issue because they are brand new from when I got the car last year in November. I only have a little over 10k miles on the car. Next the electrical keeps glitching. The night driving lights do not work correctly after Honda did the recall repair. I am taking it back to hendricks Honda for the next oil change on 12/27 and to try and get it fixed under warranty but I think they did not disclose a defect on the car when I bought it used with very low miles.

After running errands, the car was parked in the driveway without the emergency brake applied but with the engine running. After unloading a few items, the driver sat in the driver’s seat with the door still open and feet outside the vehicle. At that point the car rolled backward, narrowly missing a truck parked on the street. The momentum caused the drivers feet to become trapped between the door jam and the door. The car rolled back uncontrollably until it crossed the street hit and jumped the curb striking a neighborhood stacked mailbox on the rear passenger door. The impact then continued as the car’s backward momentum took the car back along the mailbox where the front driver door was opened and impacted the interior of the door stopping the momentum of the vehicle. Rear impact with the curb to the tires and lower bumper. Small dent just below the gas door. There are scratches and scuffs to the rear passenger door and door handle. The driver-side front door interior control cluster broken. Interior driver-side front door panel including the door handle door pull and arm rest all marred, dented, and out the door is now miss aligned. A claim was filed with Honda national corporation but they have become unresponsive and our vehicle is still with the service department awaiting the direction from national Honda CO. The service department's evaluation was that a pin in the transmission failed. We have been without our vehicle and have not been offered a loaner for nearly 2 months. The service department could not reproduce the failure but promised to replace the transmission. There were no warnings before the failure.

This 2024 Honda crv only had 24k miles and experienced total transmission failure. I was traveling and started experiencing problems. Two factory Honda dealers (dahl Honda rhinelander and a duluth Honda dealer) turned me away for repairs, even though they said it was the cvt. The cvt would make loud clunking and clanging noise. During driving it would hesitate and then surge creating a drivability safety hazard. Finally omalleys in wausau said cvt needed to be replaced. Dahl and duluth Honda had me continue driving despite have factory original warranty and extended bumper to bumper 100k which covered car rental. Disappointed in Honda quality and potential safety issue,.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the contact slammed on the brakes to make an emergency stop. The vehicle stopped, but the engine revved to 500-800 rpms. The contact stated that upon releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle lurched forward, and the rpms were significantly higher than normal. The contact depressed the brake pedal, and the contact released the brake pedal again; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the failure persisted. The contact pulled into a parking lot and turned off the vehicle for an hour. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated as needed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

My Honda Cr-v hybrid would stop working on the highway at high speeds. Sporadically, I would be driving at speeds from 55-75mph and the accelerator pedal would stop working and my car would start slowing to a halt. I would have to pull over to the side of the highway quickly, turn the car off, and then restart it. It usually would work but occasionally the car would stop a mile or two down the road and I would have to restart it again. This occurred six times between 11/24 and 1/25. In all cases, the car would still have electrical power but the accelerator would simply stop responding. This led to several dangerous situations where I needed to maneuver around trailer trucks while rapidly slowing. In all cases, there was no warning lights or messages. I had two different mechanics, including the dealership where I bought the car, look at it and neither could find a source of the problem. This problem as occurred to other owners of Honda Cr-v's if you search for this problem on reddit and other forums. I ended up selling the car back to the dealership at a loss and buying a different used car.

I got to know that I have two recalls open since October 2024. I called Honda campaign to follow up on the recalls as and I opened a case with them on [xxx]. The case number is [xxx]. I was referred to the dealer and when I contacted the dealer who sold my car, he said that he is repairing cars based on a waitlist and that parts are not available with them for both recalls. This car with its current condition is not safe as it is since I have 3 kids who frequently ride the car and one of then is a one year old baby and I saw similar cars went in serious fire due to those recalls. I need help to have this resolved ASAP. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Fuel injector failure, resulted in engine misfires, running fuel rich, and reduced power. Reduced power and loss of safety features such as anti-lock brakes, stability assist, acc, aeb, fca, and lka the safety of myself and other drivers are negatively affected. My Honda dealer and 3rd party shop diagnosed the issue. All warning lights started to appear in November 2024 and disappear intermittently.

I took my vehicle in for its' first service. The code displayed was a 1 6 indicating the new to change the oil and change the transmission fluid. I thought it was strange that I needed to change the transmission fluid so soon. After the dealer inspected my vehicle, they found that the manufacturer improperly routed/attached a hose that caused the transmission to leak fluid. The transmission fluid level was low on a brand new vehicle with only 10,000 miles at first service. I am curious if this is a common assembly issue.

My car lost power and the engine light came on when on the freeway. I was in the middle of merging from [xxx] to [xxx] on a san diego freeway. Because of the highway interchange situation, I was in the far left lane and needed to merge about 4-5 lanes to the right to get to the next off ramp. This was so scary!! though I had my hazard lights on, cars coming up behind me didn't expect a car to be slowing down in the middle of the freeway as the car decelerated down to 20 mph. I was very lucky that my car was not rear-ended. I used the side roads and the electric power to of my hybrid engine to drive about 7 miles to a Honda dealer. They asked me to turn off my car (big mistake). Honda had my car for 3 days and drove it about 70 miles, but could never duplicate the issue. I am [xxx] and frequently from southern to northern California alone. I have driven over 700,000 miles in my lifetime and never had a car's combustion engine stop on the freeway. I researched this unique situation and found out other Honda crv-hybrid owners have experienced this, but Honda had no solution. They told me they knew it was a cylinder issue and the tech saw "misfire codes" but without more details, there was nothing they could do.

I was contacted about a gearbox active recall by Honda in November of 2024 and was told to go to a dealer and get it fixed. I have called the dealership several times only to be told that Honda has a fix but has not sent the correct parts to the dealerships to complete the fix. It has been more than 60 days since the notice.

At least two times I can recall after starting vehicle and shifting into reverse the car moved forward instead of reverse. I applied the brake and tried again, but the same thing happened. At that point I shifted into park, turned the vehicle off, and restarted it. After doing this and shifting into reverse the vehicle backed up normally. Fortunately I did not hit anything. Additionally another incident occurred where I was changing lanes to make a left turn at approximately 40 mph the steering became very heavy and I was briefly unable to steer to change direction. While in the turning lane and unable to turn, I placed the vehicle in park, shut off the vehicle and restarted it. This cured the problem and I was able to proceed.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while attempting to shift into reverse, the vehicle hesitated and shifted out of gear independently. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but was unable to confirm when parts would be available for the recall repair. The failure mileage was 11,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

I bought this car new since 2021 the manufacturer warranty only lasted 60,000 miles warranty this car is fairly new and well taken care of I tooked it to a shop to get it looked at and the cvt housing is leaking and causing me issues like transmission sluggish and also power loss I’m scared that the leak can be leaking so bad that it can blow up my transmission due to over heat and causing major damage.

I had the vehicle parked, when I returned and started the vehicle the steering wheel wouldn’t move to either direction it was locked. When I placed the vehicle in drive it started to back up. I still could not move the steering wheel. I placed the vehicle back into park, waited 3 to 4 seconds to analize the situation. I again placed the vehicle in drive and it would go in reverse altho in drive. I shut the car off waited a few seconds & I restart it. Now the steering wheel moved normally and when put in drive it went forward. My concerns are the vehicle steering wheel would not move & when placed in drive it would go in reverse.

While I was driving about 70 mph on highway, the car suddenly stopped responding to the gas paddle and I heard a noise from near the fuel tank. I was able to pull up to the side of the road and the check engine light was showing. I towed it to an auto repair shop in modesto, CA and they found that the fuel pump has failed. So they replaced with an oem part and upon examining, they found that the old fuel pump was in fact not working properly. I see that Honda has a recall for 2013-2016 Cr-v relating to fuel pumps (2013-16 Cr-v fuel pump module set/assy exp2 stop sale). But when I put VIN to their website, it shows that my car is not part of the recall. So I am requesting a further investigation on this recall.

Head gasket failure due to ineffective cooling between cylinder 2 and 3.

I understand that the NHTSA has an investigation ongoing after an unspecified number of owners reported serious problems with the differential. The investigation covers as many as 1. 7 million 2018-2022 Honda Cr-v. My Honda 2018 with 74,400 miles was just diagnosed with this problem. A pinion seal is leaking. The mechanic said this should not happen with such low miles.

Misfires due to faulty oem injectors. Also headgaskets tend to blow easily bad design. Honda needs to address this issue fast.

Per dealer service department, cylinder one (1) rocker arm/lifter was getting stuck and caused a system and transmission failure.

Vtc actuator causes engine to rattle loudly at cold start-up for about 2 seconds. The problem has been confirmed by dealer Honda service bulletin 16-012.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact resumed driving, but the vehicle failed to exceed 20 mph. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,300.

Fuel injectors failed on all 4 cylinders. They replaced them, still having issue. Blown head gasket was what they diagnosed next and repaired. Picked up vehicle, when driving it down the interstate (70 mph speed limit) the check engine light started flashing. An error came up indicating a critical failure. Vehicle stopped accelerating and would not move, luckily I was able to coast to the emergency lane. American Honda states they want to replace the cylinder head now.

Car was only a couple months old. Started shuttering and losing power while driving on freeway, all wheel drive function cut out also. No lights or indication of a problem until a couple of days later. Took to dealer, turns out the fuel injectors failed. Mostly with the 2024 crv hybrids, but seems that other 6th gen years are affected also. Contacted Honda corporate office and they are pretending to not know of any issues, even though a simple google search will show many other people are reporting the same thing.

This vehicle has 33k miles on it and both front axels make noise when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes and one starts to make turns. Honda says it needs new axels but does not know why they have failed. Honda says the cv boots are intact. Seems like this part should not fail on such a new, low mileage vehicle and is likely indicative of a larger problem with the vehicle.

All driving assistance features (lane departure, adaptive cruse control, abs and other sensing components) , warning flashing on dashboard and within a second of this message speed drastically reduced to 20mph from whatever speed on running. It does not allow me to escalate but after some time it escalates on its own. Due to reduce of speed suddenly puts me, CO- passengers and other vehicles behind on risk of collision or even risk of life and same time unexpected escalation makes driver lose control. These incidents happen thrice even after service center says it fixed. This problem is reported to service center and Honda customer care. Currently the vehicle is with dealer service center.

A warning on the dash that read, "all wheel system drive problem," came up several times during the past few days on my 2020 Honda crv with only 70,000 miles. It came without any prior warning and power was diverted from all four wheels to just the front wheels. It posed a safety risk because it came so suddenly, but I was able to drive carefully to the dealership. There is a service bulletin with Honda with the NHTSA (#23-031) located at [xxx]. This is a known problem with both Honda and the NHTSA, yet there is no active recall. The dealership charged $1260 to have this repaired, even though it's a drivetrain issue and not a common maintenance item. I would like the NHTSA to request a recall with Honda so that I can be reimbursed for this. I have attached a copy of the invoice that Honda provided for the services rendered.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to come to a complete stop, the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. As a result, the driver briefly lost control of the vehicle before coming to a complete stop by intentionally running into a curb on the side of the roadway. The airbags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 23v588000 (power train), but the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. A police report was filed, but no injuries were reported. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Earlier this week and again today, my wife and I were using our 2017 Honda Cr-v ex when the car behaved very anomalously. In both of these instances, the car started normally and moved out onto the street, but then the engine abruptly bogged down and multiple messages of the form "xxx system has a problem" would cycle on the driver's display. At this time, the car would barely move forward or reverse, and shifting into reverse ("r") was accompanied by a noticeable jerk and a thump. The shifter display on the driver's display also appeared to be showing all of the possible shift settings at once. One or two cycles of rebooting the system on the infotainment/backup camera display appeared to clear the engine operation problem, but the error messages persisted for several miles and several restarts before they abruptly disappeared. Note that the streets here in florida are very flat, and the weather this week has been mostly hot and humid with little rain. We have about 40,000 miles on the odometer, and the car has been serviced regularly by the local Honda dealer. When this anomalous behavior is not taking place, the car seems to move and accelerate normally. Several other complaints appear to describe the same problem, and some owners report that they have been told that they need new fuel injectors. We have not yet taken our car to the dealer or other mechanic, and the problem has not yet been reproduced by the dealer or anyone other than us. This appears to be a safety issue because a sudden loss of engine power in traffic could be very dangerous. During the malfunction with reduced engine power, I recorded a video of the driver's display which I can provide upon request.

This is the second time this vehicle has randomly lost power / internal combustion engine stalled while driving on the interstate. Vehicle was traveling approximately 70mph steady for 10 minutes when the incident occurred. The combustion engine began to shutter and stalled, check engine light began blinking. Hybrid battery went down to zero and had to make an emergency departure off the highway with no power. Vehicle had to be powered off and powered back on to resume normal operation. Because the cellight cleared the dealership cannot look up the fault and mark it as npf. When I search this issue, it seems to be fairly common with the 2020+ Honda hybrids (crv and accords). This type of power train failure / stall is extremely dangerous especially on highways with little or no warning and time to react. We are begging the NHTSA to have Honda do a through investigation and recall to remediate the engine stall failures on these hybrid vehicles ASAP as this is extremely dangerous for our family and other drivers around us.

Going down highway at 60mph, I heard a loud boom from pass side rear wheel I pull over safely to rest area, got out thought maybe a tire blew but that wasn’t it, got towed to a Honda dealership and upon further inspection I was told the rear differential was cracked, the explanation I was told from Honda was I drove in reverse and hit something so hard that caused the cracks, what they couldn’t explain to me was why there was no other damage to the underneath of the car, I did have the extended warranty on my car but I believe Honda doesn’t want to honor it,I did some research and found this vehicle was having problems with a defective rear seal, thank you if your able to ask more questions for me.
