Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 35 of 35, newest first, as owners wrote them.
high pressure fuel pump leaking gasoline which you can smell from inside the car.
Three times the vehicle would not start while at Walmart parking lot since over February 2020. I push the button to start and it wont start. The air condition/heater does not work since winter of 2021/2022. The electrical system has gone haywire twice. The lights on dashboard flash and the numbers roll all over since 2021. The door locks are not wanting to lock now for the past 12 months. while I was inside the car the door would not unlock The engine seems to stall for the past 8 months. It feels like it is not getting gas. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer three times for the air with no positive results yet.
I was driving on busy street at 35 mph suddenly car start stopping and giving jerk . It was not safe as I was driving my new born girl and 6 years old girl suddenly car loss power in motion took to honda dealer nearby they just told me my car high pressure fuel pump failed and it need to be replaced. The car is well maintained with regular oil changes I don't know why such critical part of car failed I don't feel safe anymore in this car
Purchased used at 64,000 miles. Second day of ownership/operation vehicle began stalling while in operation on the road. This happened when coming to a stop, when accelerating from a stop and while at high speeds on the highway. I am not sure if th problem is caused by drivetrain, fuel delivery, engine, or electrical issues.
I was driving home and my car went into limp mode in the middle of the freeway. Not sure why my car downshifted and wouldn’t accelerate over 20mph or over 2500rpm. I thought my transmission went out, I was lucky to find a pull off, I shut my car off and then back on to see if I could get to an off ramp and the problem persisted. I had my vehicle towed to my mechanic, the problem was diagnosed and my mechanic said specifically that he has only seen this problem with cars that had faulty fuel pumps that were recalled, my year was not part of the recall, but my make and model was, but only different years. He advised me to report it because of how specific the problem was to the recall of newer models.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle abruptly switched to limp mode and the vehicle was unable to exceed 20 MPH. The contact was able to move onto the road shoulder and had the vehicle towed to the mechanic. The mechanic performed a diagnostic test that located the failure code at the fuel pump. The fuel pump was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V215000 (Fuel System Gasoline). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage is 75,065.
After a cold start the vehicle was only able to move at a limp mode (10 MPH max) with multiple warning lights in the instrument panel. Vehicle had to be towed to the nearest honda dealership. After diagnosis it was reported the high pressure fuel pump failed. I was replaced at a honda dealership.
This has been an ongoing issue. Car won't start at times. The most recent incident I was getting gas at wawa then got back in and car wouldn't turn over and dash board lights stated flickering and a buzzing sound was coming from under the dashboard. Then on a side street it took 3 attempts to start. I took to mechanic who changed the starter 2 different times in 2 days. And now it won't start again. Also my oil is either burning or leaking out. I have had that addressed by a mechanic as well. That too was never figured out on multiple attempts by hall honda who reported it as not even happening. And now again there is no oil in the car. I have been diligent about maintenance and oil changes. I have broken down in this car on side streets, in public parking places and in unsafe areas. I thought I was gettting a good dependable vehicle with honda. But I have had nothing but problems.
Purchased this certified used vehicle from local honda dealer with 11k miles in july, 2017. Since november 2018 vehicle stalls while in motion on city streets without warning and will not remain running after repeated starts. Has happened three times and had towed to dealer. First diagnosis resulted in fuel adjustment settings. Second, replaced throttle assembly . Third, fixed a connector's pin to fuel pump. Something is effecting the fuel pump, eg sensor or computer. After hearing about the honda fuel problem today (2/15/19) on national news it describes my experience but my vehicle is not listed. It's still under warranty with 22k miles.
Ongoing problem with loosing power when changing lanes. Honda representative never available
This vehicle vibrates it's steering wheel and inside the cabin at 55mph and higher making it annoying, unstable and unsafe.
Since day one there has been a strong vibration at idle. The engine will be at 650-700 rpms and then drops to 500. It shakes uncontrollably when the rpms drop at a light or while idling. I've taken it in 3 times with no repair success.
My original complaint stated that the problem was with the engine. A honda rep has indicated that it could be in the fuel system, as sometimes the signal to push the fuel through may not reach, resulting in the loss of acceleration when attempting to pass another car or start from a stopped position.
When the car was six months old there was a odor of gasoline. It took the car into the dealer and they inspected the car and told me that a mouse and eaten through my fuel line and that it was not covered under warranty and it would cost $980. I told them that I refuse to except their assumption and that they would have to prove to me that a mouse ate through the fuel line. They showed me the fuel line and there was only a couple small scars on it where it was leaking. Again I told them that I refuse to except that and the service department manager told the mechanic to put the car back together and "get it the [xxx] out of my shop" the date I put on this is only a guess. I don't have the paperwork anymore. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When I was sitting in a drive thru a man came up to me and told me that gasoline was pouring out from under my car. I drove the car home and by the time I got home the fuel smell was overwhelming and I had lost the 1/2 tank of gas that I had. Had the car towed to the dealership and was told that rodents had eaten through my soy based fuel lines. When I asked why there wasn't a recall for this, I was told that it was not a safety hazard. I totally disagree! If someone had thrown a cigarette out at the drive thru or as I drove home, I would have gone up in flames.
Virbration. Steering pulls left.the car has serious vibration at idle, @600 RPM, 1200 RPM, 1800 RPM and 2200+ RPM. This vibration transmits through seat, steering column, floor and pedals. Back pain is induced within just a few miles of driving. Feet get pins and needles and go numb as well as hands and arms fatigue quickly. Driving is limited in range as a result. Dealer attempted 4 repairs including reprogramming, remounting radiator and modifying engine. Vibration was dampened in the seat only at lower rpms. Mpg decreased from 33 mpg to 28 mpg. Car pulls strongly to the left. Having one hand on the wheel (e.g. Reaching for a.c.) is not sufficient to keep it in a straight line. This has caused many near misses on two lane roads and now I just don't adjust a.c. Unless I have to (foggy window etc.) I take i95 and this causes problems on ramps. I was told this was all related to the cv transmission, and it takes getting used to, but I had nissans with cv transmissions. For years. I have repair documentation but am unable to upload it at this time. Please contact me if you need them. I returned the car to the dealership immediately upon discovering the problem (within 48 hours of purchase) and they took no action or attempted repair until I had contacted them repeatedly.
Excessive engine vibration. Cabin vibration 35mph to 45mph. Honda s/b 15-46 mode 3. (software change). This sb corrected this problem. However, another problem arose: at idle, the engine would vacillate back and forth between 750 RPM and 500 RPM. When at 500rpm, it had extreme vibrations. Returned to honda, and they installed a new transmission and radiator mounts as per 112oa2 "repaire procedure driving mode1: radiator lower cushions, tr s/b 15-046.. (transmission motor mount and radiator supports + head rests?) upon lifting the hood, the engine vibrates so much, I could scramble eggs on it. In my opinion, all they did was to use more flexible mounts to0 try and eliminate the vibration transfer to the frame. Now, it vibrates when slowly accelerating like @ 45 MPH, it momentarily shudders/vibrates. Sooner or later, the engine is going to fail.
Piss poor fuel mileage. Brand new vehicle two tanks of gas and averaging under 19mpg. 80% highway, 20% city streets. No heavy foot and economy button on. Vehicle sticker states 27 city. Not even close.
The 2015 honda cr-v has a problem with a vibration while the car is stopped idle and in drive at slow speeds the idling occurs at every stop light, and in heavy highway bumper to bumper traffic. The vibrations are experienced in the front passenger and driver seats and center console. Drivers and passengers experience motion sickness including headaches, nausea. Any new passenger in my vehicle is startled by the vibrations. Every new passenger comments about the startling vibrations. Some passengers even scream due to the startling vibrations. All of this is extremely distracting to the driver who is trying to pay attention to the traffic. The car feels like it is hesitating and will stall when the gas petal is depressed. This has not happened yet, but the issue is getting worse not better. Honda admits to this issue, but offers no resolution and calls this merely an annoyance. This issue is getting worse and the manufacturer has been given a chance to fix the issue. I am not certain if the issue is the motor, transmission, or fuel injection system. It could be any of those systems. The attempt to make the cr-v more fuel efficient by using the honda accord's engine has been a failure and resulted in a major safety issue with the cars.
Vehicle will not respond when foot is placed on the accelerator. When attempting to move the car forward from a stop sign or signal light the vehicle will not respond to the gas pedal for up to 5 seconds. Basically there is a delay from when the gas pedal is pressed until the vehicle responds. This has happened 5 times in past 6 to 7 weeks. This action has happened when attempting to move from a complete stop or when the vehicle is moving at a very slow speed. I escaped a near rear end collision when I removed my foot from the brake, pressed on the gas pedal and the car did not respond.
In jan 2015 I purchased my fourth honda since (and my second crv) for the absolute reliability, quality, durability, and peace of mind that I have always felt with the brand. That however changed dramatically on july 16, 2015 when, at approximately 2:30pm, I was driving my vehicle in a parking lot at approx 5mph. As I eased into the parking space with my foot on the brake pedal, my car suddenly lurched forward. It was with such force that the entire car went up onto the curb and into the bushes beyond. I could not stop my car! Beyond these bushes was a main road with heavy traffic. Intuitively, I slammed on the emergency brake, which ultimately stopped the car. My car was so entangled in the bushes that I needed to have it towed out. On july 21, the honda dealer scanned all systems for dtcs, tested brakes, and checked throttle pedal operation and found at this time the braking system, throttle system and safety override systems are functioning as designed. Upon further investigation, it is apparent that unintended acceleration while braking is a well-documented issue. I contacted honda corp on july 21 and was assigned a regional case mgr who informed me that she would schedule an american honda rep to inspect my car. To date, I still await follow up action from my case mgr. This event has caused, and continues to cause, great anxiety and stress for me. I use this unreliable and unsafe vehicle daily and am constantly worried that this mechanical or electrical aberration will repeat itself, and with a less fortunate outcome.
Intermittently while in economy mode, when accelerating from a stop or while moving and increasing speed the engine hesitates anywhere from one to five seconds before any increase in speed or engine rpms. This is very dangerous and has caused me to almost be t-boned numerous times. There are many complaints about this on various sites on the internet. My dealer says this is normal because of the type of transmission. Other dealers say the same thing. This is going to get someone killed soon.
As I was trying to accelerate, the vehicle stopped responding. This has happened about 7 times now since I bought the vehicle new in oct. 2014. It happens as I give the vehicle gas to accelerate - it seems to just stop accelerating - it lasts about 2 seconds, and then seems to recover. There is the sensation that the vehicle has shutdown/shutoff, but does not actually stall. Vehicle was taken back to the dealer who said they found nothing wrong. It typically happens between 50-65 MPH, but has happened 1x under 15mph (was in a parking lot at that time). The first time it happened I had pulled into a high-speed lane, gave the car gas, but it just seemed to go dead for about 2 seconds.
There are several ongoing problems caused by defects with this vehicle. There is a vibration when the car is in "drive" and completely stopped at an intersection. The RPM's drop, sometimes as low as 550 which causes a vibration as if the vehicle is about to stall. The lower the RPM's, the worse the vibration. On at least two occasions I have had to put the car in neutral at a stop light because the rpms dropped so low. There is another vibration or shudder in the transmission between 1800 and 2000 rpms when accelerating. Sometimes I smell gasoline in my car shortly after ignition. Sometimes following deceleration, the CVT transmission cannot catch up, and when I need to accelerate again, I put the "pedal to the metal;" but the car is barely accelerating and not thrusting forward like it should. This occurred on a highway merge at I-83 and I-695 on december 19, 2014 (a tricky and dangerous merge area). Twice since 1/1/15 I have heard a frightening engine noise when decelerating on a windy downhill road. The noise sounds like a small plane is overhead, and I was shocked the car ws still running, as I was looking for check engine lights or some indication what was wrong. It is not a normal engine noise. Honda is aware of the vibrations when stopped and at 1800-2000 rpms and does not know if/when a fix may be available. I am not the only owner with this issue - there are a number of complaints on the various review boards, and honda has acknowledged it is widespread. Honda will not provide their position to me in writing when asked. The dealer has been unable to duplicate the other problems which are more intermittent, and it will be back at the dealer next week to address the frightening engine noise and document that problem. I do not feel safe driving this car and I am concerned that it will fail, resulting in an accident.
