2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid: check engine light

Filed Aug 13, 2026 · Engine, Transmission · NY

2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid with approximately 91,000 miles. Vehicle is less than two years old, has received all required maintenance and mileage is predominantly highway driving. I experienced intermittent chugging/rough engine operation, particularly when the gasoline engine engaged at light throttle. There was no check-engine light. The vehicle subsequently displayed: “POWER REDUCED - Shutter grille system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer.” I brought the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer. According to the technician's written diagnostic notes, no diagnostic trouble codes were present. During inspection, however, the technician found the engine coolant level low. The spark plugs were removed and the cylinders inspected. The technician found coolant leaking into cylinder #4, which was documented by borescope photograph. Honda authorized replacement of the cylinder-head gasket. My safety concern is that an internal coolant leak/head-gasket failure was present without a check-engine light or stored diagnostic trouble code, and the vehicle ultimately displayed a warning that power could be reduced. I am concerned that this condition could potentially result in unexpected reduced propulsion or overheating while driving. American Honda has also issued Service Bulletin 26-088, Product Update: 2023-26 CR-V Hybrid PGM-FI Software Update, dated August 7, 2026. Honda states that the update was developed “to better manage engine temperatures” by optimizing electric water pump operation. My Honda dealer has advised that the applicable campaign update will be performed on my vehicle. I am not alleging that the software condition caused my head-gasket failure, but I believe the federal safety agency should evaluate whether internal coolant leakage/head-gasket failures in these vehicles can occur without an appropriate engine warning or stored DTC and whether the condition could result in reduced power, overheating, or loss of propulsion while driving.

Driving on an [XXX] near St Pauls NC at 70mph the engine shut off. Annunciator came on stop now engine is quitting. Check engine light came on. We were in a construction zone so there were barriers blocking the shoulders. We were in a high risk of someone behind ramming into us. We coasted to the exit which was 1/2 mile away. We exited at 2mph. We were very fortunate that no one from the rear, hit us. There was a tractor trailer behind us who put his flashers on, realizing the issue stayed behind us to keep cars from hitting us. All warning lights came on, first engine then all of the safety warnings. Car would not run. It was towed to a Honda dealer in Fayetteville.

The fuel injector in my 2024 Honda CR-V malfunctioned, causing severe shaking upon startup, with the "Check Engine" and "Emission System Problem" lights appearing. This incident posed a safety risk, as the engine seemed unstable and power was reduced, potentially affecting vehicle control. The problem has been confirmed by a dealer, who recommended replacing the fuel injector. No other parties (such as insurance or police) have inspected it. These warning indicators first appeared a few days before I took it to the dealer.

3 Check engine lights came on when my car was transitioning from electric to gas while I was sitting idle. I towed my brand new car (6500 miles) to the honda dealership and they diagnosed it as faulty fuel injectors, a bad spark plug, and a bad ignition coil. The dealer said this is a widespread issue and they have been servicing this type of issue very frequently.

The vehicle starts shaking heavily, with clanking noise and other different noises. It usually happens when it change from engine mode to hybrid mode. When this happens it suddenly starts flashing all kind of failure messages, and ultimately check engine light is on. And during this time the engine makes too much noise and also shakes heavily. My car is fairly new, less than 5000 miles. Dealer is also not exactly sure about the issue. Sometimes they are saying, some bolts were loose, and sometimes they are saying it is software problem.

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.

Within 10 days of ownership my 2024 Hybrid CRV Sport Touring AWD broke down in the middle of a busy intersection. I noticed an exceptionally rough idle that permeated through the cabin. When I tried to accelerate, a vile burning smell also came into the cabin like electricity burning metal. The vehicle then died mid acceleration and cars behind me swerved around due to the abrupt stop while every dashboard warning came up including a check engine code. I was able to crawl it to a parking lot and tow it at my expense of course. Upon inspection by the dealer they confirmed it was faulty fuel injectors at just 230 miles on the odometer. They had no clue how or why brand new injectors would give out. My concern here is how it failed. It aggressively cut off power mid acceleration with cars having to dodge my vehicle and the smell of metal burning was a huge concern to me. Had I continued to drive who knows what would have happened. I am writing this so that the federal safety agency has this on file to aid in future investigations of similar incidents.
