I have a concern about electrical problems in my car when in motion. When I brought it in for service at my honda dealer, I was told that everything was ok but the problem still occurs. Also on 3/9/2020 the car was towed to the dealer because the battery(less than 3 years old) was dead and was replaced because the car was still in warranty. Then on 6/13/2020 the second battery was completely dead with only 663 miles.I think the situation should be investigated and remedied due to concern about safety. I have never experienced this type of thing with other vehicles that I have owned.
2017 Honda CR-V electrical complaints
Page 9 of 15: complaints 221 to 250 of 403, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving on highway all of a sudden the infotainment screen started beeping and changing screens, brightness display kept coming on and off while the display unit is blinking . It continued to change screens for a few minutes and then went black. Nothing. Finally I was able to pull off highway and turned car off. Waited a few minutes and turned car back on and the system worked fine....for now. In looking in web noticed there is a class action lawsuit (lemberg law) regarding this similar issue, along with others owners having same issue with no permanent fix from honda.
Car battery will die if the car is not used for more than a couple days. We have taken it into the dealership to get checked many times only to be told nothing is wrong. Battery has been replaced multiple times as well only for the car to die a few days later. We purchased the car brand new in march 2017. The first time it happened it was only a few months into owning the car.
Battery keeps dying after 2 days of non operational.this has happen multiple times and no fix from dealer.
My wife and I have, on numerous incidents, had to jumpstart the cr-v due to a dead battery. I have jumpstarted the vehicle the night before (may 17th) to wake up to a battery with a 5 volt charge (may 18th). After I jumped the car on the 17th, I attached my voltmeter to the battery and witnessed a discharge of 0.01 volts every 2 to 3 seconds. In 20 seconds, the battery drained from 12.56v to 12.39v. I have previously taken the car to o'reilly's auto part store twice to test the battery and alternator. Both passed. Yesterday, may 18th, I hooked up a scanner and found no faulty codes in the vehicle. There is an obvious parasitic drain on the battery with no solution. I've also reviewed many complaints regarding dead batteries on the 2017 honda cr-v with no real cause. I will take the vehicle into honda this week to see if the situation can be fixed, but this vehicle appears to be a lemon.
As of may 13, I have had to return my leased 2017 cr-v to the dealership four (4) times for the same reason - the battery would not work , hence the engine did not start. These breakdowns occurred at : 9573 miles, 9993 miles, 17315 miles and most recently 21,703 miles. Each event occurred while the auto was turned off. This has cost undue hardship. With the most recent event, I was verbally told the problem is my fault - since I do not drive the vehicle enough !!! I should invest in something called a " trickle charger " and plug the vehicle in during the evening hours !!! Quite incredible! I more then once loudly voiced my concerns. The basic attitude has been " you're on your own buddy "!!! Hopefully, the dealership will be cautioned to avoid falsehoods and to level with its customer. My wife and I are both senior citizens . We are attempting to navigate the virus epidemic as best we can! We had to drive another vehicle to the dealership to pick up our " tainted " leased product without so much as an apology. Quite incredible ! My computer is quite elderly - hence I cannot forward documentation but I can certainly mail such. Please feel free to contact me for much more information concerning this faulty product.
The main screen inside the cab started beeping, then the screen went dark and then to full brightness and started scrolling through the menu options without me touching the screen. This was a bad distraction while I was driving. The screen controls everything and when it did this I had no control and lost everything. It continued doing this for about 10 minutes.
2017 honda crv parked in garage, when attempting to start engine dash lights up warnings on braking system, cruise control, lane assist, battery and many other areas. Car would not start and goes dead with 3rd attempt to start. This is the 3rd time I must have car towed to dealership; car has 4,000 miles. Dealership states that they cannot recreate this intermittent critical failure and I should buy a new car. This car is unreliable and a hazard. Even though I paid thousands of dollars when I bought it new, for extra extended warranty, repair & maintenance plans, dealership tell me nothing is wrong with this car.
Battery keeps dying after sitting more than a several days. This is the third time since owning the car; the last two times happened within a month apart. Had to call aaa to jump car each time.the second time was on 23 march 2020. When attempting to start car on 24 april, 2020, the battery appeared drained again. Noted the message on dash "brake system problem". My car is parked in a garage and has sat for long periods due to the covid-19 pandemic quarantine. Another error message indicated low tire pressure. The car received routine maintenance in february/imarch 2020. I decided to call dealer to have car picked up and repaired. After researching this problem, it seems that there is not a remedy for this problem. Mileage is approximately 13,000 and was purchased new.
My 2017 honda cr-v allowed me to turn off my car ignition, while in drive mode, when I failed to put it in park, without any safety warning. This has occurred 4 times over the past 2 years. There is a warning/ alert for everything else on a vehicle. Why is there not a bell, warning alert, if you accidentally leave your vehicle in drive mode and exit your vehicle. You should not be able to turn off your vehicle if your vehicle is not in park. Huge safety issue!

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, the steering wheel ceased with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was driven home, parked overnight, and resumed normal operation the following day. The vehicle was taken to the hendrick honda of charleston located at (1539 savannah highway, charleston, sc 29407 (843) 279-0447) where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred multiple times intermittently. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
All of the warning lights on the dash light up and stay lit up even after the car is turned off and back on. The dealer reset the computer and after driving for a couple of hours the warning lights came back on. When the lights come on the car loses power and can not excellerate. Climbing a steep hill is very difficult.
Vehicle battery will die after two days of non starting. This happens constantly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the anti-lock braking system, lane departure assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruse control, some driver assist not operating, radar obstructed and auto high beam warning indicators flashed while the vehicle was being driven. The contact also stated that the failures were intermittent and has recurred for approximately 3 years. The vehicle was taken to honda of annapolis, 1736 west st, annapolis, md 21401 to be diagnosed. The mechanic was not able to replicate the failure. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer twice. After the vehicle was turned off the fault codes were erased. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed about a technical service bulletin number: 17064 (radar software). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 200.
Continuation of complaints 11307119, and 11307127. I called the dealership where I purchased the car new and explained what had been going on with the car. I was told to bring the car in. I took the car in and waited. I was later informed the honda recommended that the plugs be replaced and oil change and a software update. I was later told that I would need to have the injectors replaced and I would have to pay for the repair. I was told they would need to order parts and provided me with a car and I left, it was a friday. Monday I went to pickup the car. I was charged $1800 plus for the repair. I left and everything seemed ok but before I got home the alarm engine emission problem came up. Next day I called back and was told to bring in and they would look at it again. The message is still there.
This is a continuation of complaint 11307119 in which I had to tow car to dealership for service. I received a call after christmas that my car was ready for pickup and there was nothing wrong with it but it was out of gas. I went to pick up the car and was charged $100 plus for the three gallons of gasoline. I got in the car, started it, it was running rough then as I started to leave all the warnings came up again, I pulled back around to the service bay and got the attention of the service rep and showed him the warnings on the dash. He got a technician and hooked up a diagnostic tool but said he saw no codes, so he got a computer and hooked it up and said all he saw was an evap code, but all the warnings were on display. I was told to leave car so they could check further. I left in the loaner. A couple days later I was called and told they would need to tear the engine down to try to find the problem and I would need to approve the work and agree to pay if it were deemed not covered by warranty. I agreed. I was later called and told it needed to have the injectors replaced and it would not be covered and the cost would be $1440. I told the rep the car was not safe to drive and they should continue with the repair.. Later that day I called and was told I could pick up the car, I went to get the car and was told it had not been repaired and a note was on service record that the customer had declined to have the car repaired. I was very confused and upset. I commented about my displeasure and concern for safety, I was told I received great service especially since I did not purchase care there. I was also charged $300 plus and the car was not repaired and unsafe. I asked to see service manager but was told he was not in. I paid the bill and left. Before I got home the car went into limp mode again and all the warnings came up also.
My 2017 honda began displaying multiple warning messages which would cause the function for the message to be disabled. Example, cruise control, not working, hill assist not working and all messages would display and nothing working. Usuall the next day the messages would clear and function return. It got more frequent and ultimately did not clear, stayed on constantly. Then one day while traveling on a busy interstate highway the vehicle lost power and would not accelerate, before I was able to get to the shoulder of the road I narrowly avoided being struck in the rear by a semi truck and trailer barreling down on me. I did make it off and turned the ignition off waited a short while and restarted the motor. There was a new message in the display "vehicle emission problem" . I pulled onto the road and was able to make it home. This was the weekend and the following monday I called the local honda dealership and scheduled a service appointment. I took the car in and explained what had happened. I waited in the lobby and shortly the service rep told me parts needed to be ordered and I would notified when they came so my car could be repaired, I was also told it would be covered under warranty. A few days I was called and took the car in for repair. I waited and later was told my car was ready. I left and all seemed well until the next day when I was driving to work, all the alarms displayed and the functions in alarm did not work. The car also went into limp mode again and I had to pull over. I called the dealership and was told to bring the car back in. The next morning while going to work the car again lost power and stopped. All the alarms were up including emission system problem, the car would not restart. I called the dealership and told them what happened and I had the car towed in. A loaner car was provided. This was christmas eve.
I have a 2017 honda crv. This is the second time I had the same issue. All my warning light electric parking brake problem, charging system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, hill start assist problem. Are back on. When this happens for the first time dealership tole me their was an update to the system which will fix the issue. Month later I am having the same issue.
When I pulled over my car in the parking lot, put the shift stick to p them try to engage the electronic parking brake. The dashboard showed 'electronic parking brake problem' and the parking wasn't engaged and 'brake' red light flashing on dashboard. And all other systems like adaptative cruise control', 'lane control', etc were reporting malfunction.
During a regular driving, dashboard light up with several systems malfunction and warnings lights. Car is 2year old with 30000 miles but issue is been around since it was 4000 miles several visits to the dealer got replaced battery on 1st and alternator on last visit. And now it is happening again
The emissions light came on, started to have an odor of gasoline in the cabin, fuel milage has decreased, rough idle, hesitation in acceleration. Happen in motion, stationary, and when vehicle was off. This vehicle is used mostly on the highway, in the mid-atlantic region.
On three recent occasions while driving, the dashboard warning lights indicated multiple system failures including a brake system problem. The car was going about 25-35 MPH each time going straight. On all instances, the car seemed fine despite the warnings. In the first two instances the warning lights went out after about one minute and in the third instance it stayed on even when the engine was shut off although it did go out after the car was shut off overnight and restarted. It is very concerning when any warning goes off but especially so when it indicates a brake problem. The dealership was of no help stating they could not do anything unless it was happening when they looked at it. They claimed to have never seen this problem but there are multiple reports online and I know several people who have had the same experience.
I have had multiple instances where several system alerts pop up on my dashboard for no apparent reason (lane keeping assist problem, road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, and brake system light). This has happened intermittently since I first owned my brand new car (the first time it happened was one month after owning it). I have taken it to my dealer several times and they have tried various things, but honda has yet to come up with a proper solution. This has happened both when turning my car on, as well as when I'm driving.
Driver side seat heater failed at less than 2 years old & under 45,000 miles. Dealer said it's not a covered repair nor manufacturer defect. Honda corp wouldn't talk to me because vehicle is out of warranty due to high mileage.
Shift knob button broke during operation resulting in loss of use of vehicle. Battery has been replaced 2 times on vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While driving approximately 45 MPH, all the warning indicators on the instrument cluster started to flash. The brakes were applied without the brake pedal being depressed. The contact stated that the failure occurred sporadically for the past year. The vehicle was taken to frank leta honda (500 auto mall dr, o'fallon, mo 63368) five times and they repaired the vehicle, according to their records. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and contact was asked to submit all the records and bills. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
Sometimes, autobreak kicks off when driving approaching a bridge on a sunny day or in a construction area where the lanes have been modified or narrower with construction cones. This is super scary and may result in unexpected collisions with car behind, who is not anticipating any abrupt break/stoppage
Display monitor goes completely dark. Have to turn vehicle off and restart for it to come back.
This past summer, I was driving by myself when all of the sudden, the infotainment center (the screen that controls everything and is at the center of it all) started beeping uncontrollably and the screen's brightness setting started going from full brightness to full darkness. I had no idea what was going on. I was terrified and almost got into a car accident, rear ending the car in front of me. I became very distracted and startled. I wasn't sure if the car computer or battery was over heating, I wasn't sure if I should pull over across two lanes of traffic to make an emergency stop...it was terrible. I tried everything to get it to stop. Nothing would do it. Luckily, I was a few minutes away from home. I pulled into my driveway in a panic and shut the car off. I turned it back on and it was gone. I chalked this up to maybe a one time computer glitch and let it go. Two days later on the highway, the same thing happened. This continued many more times randomly without any warning or explanation. I never received a notice or warning in the mail. I wish my story ended there, but it doesn't. The random obnoxious beeping and flashing eventually stopped. However, two weeks ago I was driving home from work at night and noticed I could barely see the lines on the road. I almost hit a deer. Confused, I realized the brightness was turned all the way up on the infotainment center and on the screen directly behind the steering wheel. I attempted to turn the brightness down, but quickly realized the screens were frozen on the highest brightness setting. Even when I would press the (-) symbol to turn it down, it would scale down to the lowest setting, yet remain on full brightness. Honda told me they couldn't do anything. Tonight, I almost hit a pedestrian because I couldn't see them until the last minute. I've never been so mortified. Something has to be done. I have videos.
