I cannot check off enough of the listings of problems with this car. I believe that they are all connected to one central computer malfunction in the vehicle ADAS system. This car was purchased new I first reported it to Honda we had 500 miles on the car. made periodic completes since with the only answer provided was nothing wrong however they did perform a radio update wow. So the problem is I have every warning light going off in the car from lane departure, hill assist start, front end collision, Brakes, airbags, Engine, cruise control, stability along with others. afraid to drive the car for i am not sure what the computer is going to do next accelerate or sudden stop. I can provide vehicle for inspection the symptoms are sporadic
2017 Honda CR-V airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 36 of 36, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On Thursday, February 17, 2022, I drove home from work in Waycross, Georgia. I was driving my properly-maintained 2017 Honda CRV. I was wearing my seat belt, and the shoulder harness was properly secured across my chest. The day was clear, and at 4:03 p.m., I approached the intersection of Jenkins St, Tebeau St, Plant Ave, and Francis St. This intersection is in the downtown area; it is treated like a perpendicular intersection, although, as you can see from the attached photo, it is not, in fact, perpendicular. There are stop signs on Jenkins and Tebeau; travelers on Plant and Francis do not have to stop. Because of how Francis Street curves onto Plant, and because of the fact that Francis emerges from under an overpass, visibility is poor. I was on Francis St, which becomes Plant Ave headed east. A construction worker driving a 2016 Chevy Silverado K350 TK was fully stopped at the stop sign at the Jenkins St intersection. After stopping, he pulled into the intersection, T-boning my CRV and sending it into a series of spins. My head violently hit the window several times as the vehicle spun. When the CRV finally stopped, my first thought was, "Where are The airbags?" Side curtain airbags had deployed on the passenger side of the vehicle, but no airbags had deployed on the driver's side anywhere--or from the steering wheel. An ambulance took me to the local emergency room. I have a concussion. Had the airbags deployed as expected, that might not be the case. My safety was put at risk by the airbags' failure to deploy--basic physics requires that in a violent collision, the driver is protected after being propelled into the door and window. The CRV is in a Copart lot. I have requested that it be kept available for inspection. The CRV was deemed totaled; I do not know if anyone inspected the airbags. There were no prior warnings. During the instrument panel went berserk. Multiple error messages flashed simultaneously, despite the front end not being hit.
My 2017 Honda CR-V had a noise coming from the steering wheel. My local Honda dealer Wesley Chapel Honda diagnosed the problem and found out that the defective part is the "cable reel" in the steering wheel of the car. This defective cable reel is related to the air bag and could pose serious safety issues. Honda has issued a Recall for the same part "cable reel" for 2019 CR-V all trims (Service Bulletin 19-062). In my case, the problem is caused by the same defective part "cable reel"and should be recalled by Honda and fixed for me as soon as possible. Honda North America should extend their recall to cover more CR-Vs using the same defective part.
We purchased this car used with just at 40,000 miles and it passed inspection without any codes. After owning it less than two weeks, my son was driving it with his brother in the front passenger seat and they luckily noticed the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT WAS STILL ON even though his brother is 145lbs and should easily activate the airbag system. We took this to the Dealer and they stated that the air bag seat sensor was showing "-19lbs with no one seated in it" and not registering proper weight of passenger. The dealership then reset the sensor mat, but the issue returned within 2 days of getting it back. The Dealer is asking $1,000 to repair this as it is just over the 36 month warranty period. The reason I am reporting this is I own a 2017 Porsche Macan and they have recalled it for the same reason and I see this as a safety issue for the passenger, not a regular repair. Last it is concerning that a major safety system like this can fail in this situation and not show a code or alert the owner of the car better than this light. This MAJOR safety issue relies on the owner/driver to notice the "Passenger airbag off" light is illuminated with a adult weight passenger onboard which is always on when there is no passenger in the car, so this seems like it can lead to situations like this when the system is not working as designed. The location of the light and lack of any other warning can lead to this warning light being missed and people not being protected in an accident by the airbag.
Entire operation system for vehicle was affected causing immediate vehicle failure. Unable to pull over or move out of traffic. Extremely dangerous malfunction with complete loss of control at high speed with no warning. All dash lights lit up/blinking. Many system errors displayed on main driver screen near steering wheel. The screen errors quickly read through multiple errors, including power steering loss, tire pressure loss, hill control loss, etc. The screens were going so quickly and car was beeping like it had low gas. But the only thing we could do was get to the side of the highway. We have driven thousands of miles in many types of cars and situations and this was by far one of the worst malfunctions we have ever experienced. If there is an electronic problem or situation where your car is breaking then it should say pull over immedately. It was no help to flash through an array of features on the car having error. This needs to be recalled!
Three issues - 1 - the knob on my shift broke and popped off. The plastic broke, and rendered the button useless. 2 - the passenger side airbag works intermittently. Does not seem to be impacted by weight, but the light comes on sometimes other times it does not. 3 - the side panel of the seat that holds the electronics for the seat popped off and does not go back on. Another junk piece of plastic. This has caused the seat to adjust unexpectedly.
I was rear ended on the highway (101-n) by a truck going 20-30 MPH above the speed limit. During the collision, the driver airbag did not deploy. My speed limit was 65-70 and the truck speed limit was more than mine when I try to go faster was still not able to ovided. After the car screening you are in crash I was a wake not sure how it stoped and was in shock for not sure how long then I saw a message on the screen saying contacting honda but nothing happen. I try to touch it but it not work. I stoped the car moved the key then try to find my telephone thank fully my charger cord was on and I pulled it from behind seat I called 911 then the police took it from there. I have so much pain in my head mostly left side and near my neck I am in so much pain when I am in the son my vision is not okey. And if I walk more then 15 minutes I am have the worst pain in my feet legs back head and I do believe all my body is hurting but some of more then the other my ribs are better but left ribs hurt when I drive more then 20 minutes. I had constipation for the last 5 weeks realized last week I can not smell well and I really hate that person for what he did to me. I am not sure if I will ever be able to recover al and that so not fair and the worst they run a way left me there.

2017 crv awd 2 months into owning all lights on dash like brake system engine air bags, tirer, brake. I see spots of oil driveway but oil is always full. Stalls sometimes when taking off. The other day the back wheels locked up causing the SUV to stop in middle of road, and couldnt move forward or backwards. The SUV swag side to side causing backend to slide sisde to side. Making it very hard to keep the SUV on the road. I have called about the dash lights all of them on and they said it needed to be rest. Smell gas inside the SUV. I had a 2006 honda civic brought it new I never had a problem out of it going 300,000 miles with no problems thats why I chose to get another honda, but with 2017 honda crv has been hell with all the issues and is a safety concern.

The driver's seat side air bag looks like it deployed or or was deflated or malfunction with no action taken when we noticed as we got into the car the next day. The seat with the side airbag was deflated or deformed or something. My wife was knows it was not like this because she would have noticed as did immediately when she sat down.

I purchased this cr-v new from the honda dealership in sarassota, fl in feb 2017. O/s SRS light keeps coming on. It is an intermittent problem. When it comes on, it stays on until the car is turned off. This has been going on for at least 3 months. I had started taking pictures of the actual meter panel speedometer with the o/s SRS light on every day to show the frequency and magnitude of this issue. On 11/11/17, stored codes were deleted a few times at bradenton, fl dealership with no success. "system operating as designed" is what I was told by honda dealership. On 11/13 - 11/21/17, o/s SRS light came on after codes cleared. Returned to honda dealership in bradenton, fl. They checked pin fit at air bag connector and SRS unit. Continuity was confirmed. No mouse or water damage. Driver's seat air bag was replaced per honda tech line. The dealership was in possession of our cr-v during these dates. On 12/13/17, o/s SRS light keeps coming on. The bradenton, fl dealership. Scanned for SRS codes (same as before, 'b0020-13"), open or increased resistance on the left side. Reviewed data withe tech line and they had dealership replace the SRS control unit. Initialized seat weight sensor to verify repair was completed. Tech drove vehicle 85 miles to confirm repair was completed. Tech line ref#4044223 on 12/14/17 the o/s SRS light came on still. Due to our vacation from sarasota, fl to ohio for christmas, the bradenton honda dealership could not provide a loaner for any out of state driving. So, we drove this crv to ohio with the o/s SRS light on for 95% of our 2600 mile trip. Negotiated with am honda and bradenton, fl dealership to bring cr-v back on 1/8/18. A honda 'technician specialist' is being flown in from torrence, ca to fix it. My wife and I retired from honda of america mfg inc with 50 combined years of manufacturing service building hondas.
I bought my car certified preowned from capitol honda in san jose. I was assured that the car had never been in an accident and it was a lease turn in. I had my airbags replaced last year and last week I rear ended a car and my car was totaled and the airbags never went off. I hit pretty hard. The report from my insurance is where I found out it had been in two accidents and was a rental. I should have been privey to that information when I was a shopper.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While seated in the driver's seat, the contact observed that the padding was collapsed inside the seat by the side air bag. The vehicle was taken to o'daniel honda (located on 123 beverly dr, omaha, ne 68114) where it was diagnosed that the padding needed to be replaced. The vehicle was temporarily repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown. Updated 09/15/17*lj the consumer stated the leather on the back part of the driver's seat was collapsed on the left side by the door. The dealer repositioned the padding which was a temporary fix. The consumer inquired if the failure would affect the airbag. Updated 12/11/2017
Front passenger airbag occupancy sensor does not detect an adult that is 5' 3" tall and weighs 100 lbs. The vehicle keeps the passenger airbag deactivated.
Driver's seat has collapsed on left side right below the air bag tag. Took it back to dealer. They know about the problem. They did a quick fix, but it did not work. Does this problem affect the function of the air bag? I bought the vehicle 4/28/17, and the seat has been messed up for about two months.
The indicator light for the passenger air bag ('air bag off') does not operate consistently. A 112 pound passenger regularly rides in the front passenger seat of this vehicle. Sometimes when this passenger is present, the passenger airbag indicator light ('airbag off') illuminates and stays illuminated during travel. At other times it does not illuminate at all during trips when the passenger is present. The indicator light is more likely to remain on when the vehicle is started before the passenger enters the car. This problem has persisted for 4 months.
My mother and I traveled to visit my daughter that lives 3 1/2 hours away. My mother sat in the passenger seat for the 7 hour trip up and back. The amber or yellow light on the dash "passenger airbag off" was lighted the entire time that my mother was sitting in the passenger seat. Admitted she only weighs 100 lbs and is 86 years old, but she is clearly an adult and should be protected by an airbag deploying in case of a serious crash. The airbag deploying in a crash could literally mean the difference between life and death.
Passenger side airbag indicator does not turn off, therefore the airbag does not activate, when a person weighing significantly more (100lbs) than the stated threshold of 65lbs as described in the owner's manual. This is a significant safety concern since the passenger is not protected by the airbag. Honda dealer claims the weight sensor is correctly calibrated and working properly according to honda. The concern is that this tolerance of more than 35lbs is way too high and the airbag needs to activate much closer to the stated threshold of 65lbs.
