I smell Gas on the engine and outside the Car. I took out the dipstick. It smell Gas too. There's Website www.crvownersclub.com gave this Website to report problems. I hope the federal safety agency will investigate this issue. Should this issue be recall for safety issue? Regards Jim
2017 Honda CR-V engine complaints
Page 7 of 19: complaints 161 to 190 of 541, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was pulling into my garage. As i was decelerating, my vehicle lunged forward, making a loud, revving engine noise. My foot was on the brake, but this didn't prevent my CRV from impacting the back wall of the garage with enough force to crack the interior sheetrock and floor molding and pushing the king size bed approximately two feet away from the wall. Car also suffered considerable damage under the hood, and is not driveable. The airbag did not engage.
Entire system failure occurred while driving on a 4-lane interstate at speeds of 70 mph in congested traffic in air temps of 80 F (sunny). Vehicle lost all power both electrical / mechanical for roughly four to five seconds. There was immediate deacceleration and zero power (electrical / mechanical). Driver's immediate response was to remove hands from steering wheel and removed foot from gas in a state of shock/disbelief. Vehicle then restarted itself and resumed function. Driver was put at extreme risk as well as all other drivers / vehicles in surrounding roadway due to the extreme deacceleration with no warning. Incident reported to dealer who stated they had not heard of such an occurrence and requested vehicle be brought in for a $120 diagnostic check. Vehicle purchased new. Mileage at time of incident 20,000.
While driving about 25 mph on a corner, all the warning lights on dash board lit up and power suddenly dropped to less than 10 mph. Luckily there was a turnout where I pulled over. If someone was following me I could have been rear ended and pushed into on coming traffic. There was no warning or indication that I would be losing power like that. I have talked to Honda dealership and they have not heard of this happening. I have Googled this problem and it seems that other 2017-2018 CRVs are experiencing this issue too.
Shutter grille closes when engine hot usually at freeway speed, power to engine reduced automatically, unable to speed up in emergency situation. Dealer just shrugs at complaints. Has happened multiple times.
On the way down from grapevine along I-5, warning lights showed on my dashboard, e.g. Tire pressure monitor problem, emission system problem, brake system problem, etc..., I panic and exited the freeway. I opened the hood to cool the engine. After about an hour, I restarted the engine and the warning lights disappeared so I continued my travel. However, after about 40 miles, the warning lights came up again. So, I exited the freeway again. We called service dealer in bakersfield and based on our report he said the computer may not be talking with other parts. He asked us to bring it in. But this dealer is some 30 miles away and it's too far from home. I restarted the engine again and the warning lights went away after the engine has cooled down. So I went back to the freeway driving slowly and carefully until there was a slower truck in front of me. I tried to overtake the truck then I felt like something snapped, the same warning lights came out and I can feel the engine was losing power so I parked on the side and decided to have the car towed since it can stall in the middle of the road putting our lives in danger. When the car was towed to the honda dealer close to home, it was diagnosed as initially fuel pump problem with an estimated cost of about $2,000. But the parts will take about a week to ship due to hazard issues. They offer to buy back our car but at only half the price that we bought it. It's almost four years old.
Fuel or exhaust smell on startup
1st owner 2017 crv with 51000. Driving down highway. Check engine and all safety assist failure. Drive for a few days and light reset. Few more days and again this happens and engine also looses power. (have newborn in the care and 3 year old).obd reader displays codes p0304 and p0172. Take it to the dealer and reprogram the computer as their is extended warranty on oil dilution problem. Re-test and 4th fuel injector faulty. Not covered by power train warranty. I call honda and they are trying to "goodwill" part of the $1500 cost rather admitting that there is a fuel injector issue like on other models. Could of ended in a major car accident with children! Very disappointed in honda.
There is a fuel/oil ratio issue causing the vehicle to release a very large amount of smoke when taking off from a stop or when parked. The smoke does lessen when driving continually without a stop.
I scan the check engine light with obd scanner and its shows p219f code. I search on google and its come to this description. When a code p219f is stored, it means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an imbalance error in the number four cylinder. To monitor the air to fuel ratio for each cylinder of the engine, the PCM uses data input from heated exhaust oxygen sensors (sometimes called air fuel sensors) and the crankshaft position (ckp) and camshaft position (cmp) sensors. I saw online and lots of people has same problem in honda crv 2017-18 model. I already reported problem before with honda but get standard reply.
At 60-70k miles, the 2017 cr-v model has been widely shown to have fuel injectors that fail. My vehicle has had intermittent electrical issues followed by an emissions warning that prompted me to take the vehicle to the dealer. They inspected and informed me it would be $1600 to repair due to fuel injector malfunction (codes p0172, p219d) and gasoline diluting the engine oil and it is not covered under a warranty extension for other oil dilution issues. I started doing research and have found this is a common problem around the mileage of my vehicle (65k miles 3.5 years old) and other owners of this particular model year have lobbied to honda to have part or all of the repair paid for (an at least partial admission this is a known issue by honda.) this emission error happened while the car was driving on the highway.
1:l.s suspension is making clunky noise for long time.this problem was on and off but now its continuously making noise while I drive to a bumpy or small broken road. 2:engine was making roaring noise then I follow up with dealer with my recall notice. I don't know they fix it or not but still making this noise. 3:smell solid fuel/gasoline from the exhaust system.full tank gas giving me only 178 miles range but I'm not able to drive 150 miles even.I always take the silver gasoline which is $38 dollars for the full tank.sometimes more and more this is the biggest problem of car and my financial. I think my fuel is leaking and this could be something else. Credit karma showing me I have 3 open recalls which is one of them. But I didn't receive any mail any email or notification from them.
Start car after putting drive all alarms go off and brakes automatically apply in when driving. Engine light comes on and I am unable to control my vehicle. It happens all the time I only have one car and am afraid to drive it!
Fuel is getting into the oil sump causing oil dilution. The crv 1.5-liter turbo engine has problems. This is due to gasoline seeping into the engine oil. I have concerns about the durability of the 1.5-liter turbo engine and about my vehicle potentially stalling, especially in cold weather here in illinois. A safety issue. Honda says that I need to drive it more to allow engine heat to dissipate the fuel. True I don't put a lot of miles on my car, but how often I drive my car should not be factored in when designing a safe and reliable car. Fuel diluted oil will not properly lubricate critical engine parts. When I heck my oil, the level rises on my dipstick. There is also a smell of gasoline on the dipstick. I have to keep getting oil changes to fix that. This has been constantly occurring.since I bought the crv (bought in march 2020).
Vehicle lost all power while I was driving on the highway and all of the dashboard lights lit up. Had been very cold weather for about the week prior. Also, the heater wouldn't get warm and car took forever to warm up.
All the warning lights came on after engine start eg, check engine light, power steering failure, driver assist, etc. It was every light. I took it to honda in was diag. With po172 engine runs rich. Honda bullentin 19-032 was perform which included replacing the A/C control unit and software update. After one month and less than another 1000 milers driven I have the same problem. The dealership says my fuel injectors need to be replaced for $1400. The car has 38000 miles on it and just came off warranty. This is a known problem and apparently happens in colder climates but I lived in ga. Completely unacceptable
Engine oil levels are high due excessive dilution by petroleum. As a result the oil pan is high causing oil leaks. There are new oil drips in my garage every day. I'm sure the engine oil is leaking intermittently when I drive; I also notice oil drips on the ground at work. The oil level continues to be high even with the leaks. Honda dealership confirmed the oil has petroleum in it. Honda also accepts dilution is normal in their cars with this engine, yet the dealership denied any safety concerns with the leak. The dealership simply added a dye and asked that I continue driving and come back for an oil change which will be due in about 3000 miles. The oil mixed with petrol caught on fire when I was smoking in the garage. This is a serious safety concern for everyone that works in their garage, smokes, cooks or has a heat source near it. It can cause fire and death. High chances of engine stalls due to excessive pressure.
Engine oil has strong smell of gasoline. Engine oil is overfull on the dipstick. Long term and short term fuel trims added together are -20%.
Vehicle rolls away in park. At various unspecified times the vehicle fails to maintain the parking gear. First example took place on slightly slanted driveway: when placed into park the vehicle rolled backward (all wheels moving) and owner jumped back in to hit the brake so as to avoid rolling into anyone/anything. Dealership has duplicated the issue many times and appears unable to determine cause.
Oil levels in car are above the dipstick and smell like petroleum has leaked into the oil. The fix that honda introduced for the oil dilution issue has clearly not worked. Inside of car has a petroleum smell. Makes me lightheaded/dizzy. I had to pull over on the side of the highway - stop the car and air it out. There was not accident, but this continue issue can cause a major problem while driving including accident, injury and death.
0due to the design of the cooling system the vehicle does not reach operating temperature and therefor is not save to drive in cold weather I have reservations about being able to defrost windows and not freezing if stuck in snow the dealer told me this is normal when parked the fans run continuously on the radiator,
My vehicle, a 2017 honda crv ex-l has a 1.5 liter turbo engine with approximately 148,000 miles on it. It has been meticulously maintained with regular fluid and oil changes. Several days ago my crv began lurching with a misfire, first the power was greatly reduced and then the engine lost all power and a check engine light and then all warning lights came on. I have on occasion smelled a gas type smell in the passenger compartment. A friend has a obd11 reader and my engine showed a p 0304 code which is a cylinder 4 misfire and a p 2097 code which is a post catalytic converter too rich warning. I had the vehicle towed to lute riley honda in richardson, tx and a warranty service was performed that I understand is a resetting of engine codes and a HVAC control unit was replaced. Upon picking the vehicle up after driving just a few miles the engine lurching returned and ultimately the engine light came on and power was reduced to about 10 miles per hour. This happened in an intersection and was extremely dangerous, luckily I was able to pull off and stop the engine. After waiting a few minutes I restarted the engine and with no engine light on drove very slowly to my home. I plan on taking the vehicle back to the dealer in the morning.
Battery will be dead if car not used every 2 days. 4 times I have had the dealer replace my battery and 1 time myself. Dealer refuses to solve the problem. A vehicle''s battery should not go dead after only 4 days of use.
On the 4th (around 20k miles) oil change from dealership I complained about driver side seat cushion and brake pedal making squeaky noise. I was told it's normal in new car during the breakin process and eventually it'll go away. Now it's even worse at above 50k miles and they're asking for diagnostic charges. Car also has fuel and oil mixing issue which I brought it up on my recent visit to honda dealership and I was told they'll need to drain the oil and refill with new oil and filter to determine the issue. While they were taking out they said there was no presence of fuel but the smell of fuel in engine oil is normal for this vehicle. There's been time where vehicle will be stuck in high RPM when on highway and accelerator is released during high speed. And eventually it'll shift the gear after 5-10 seconds and bring down the RPM. Smell is also noticed during first start in mornings specially now since it's winter.
Battery runs down. Put new battery...same problem. Need a jump to start for me to drive. Battery runs down if it sits for a day problem steering after it is jumped. All alerts are on then disappears after battery resets components on its own. Alerts for stabilization, breaking stabilization and more turns on when driving. Went over problems with a friend who is a mechanic. Trouble shooting everything and concluding something in electrical that doesn't turn off and runs new battery down when engine is off. Oil cap smells like gas fuel. Honda mechanic told me on the spot it could be this or that even when I said there are problems with that noted on websites. Car at honda dealership getting "fixed"....told me it is the alternator, but car engine doesn't stop or shuts off when it is jumped and driven. We also have had problems where the alert warning alarm turning on while driving on the highway indicating there is an object in front or side when there is nothing there. Those issues began happening before I had these recent battery problems (6 months before issues with the battery). I also recall that in the fall of 2018 that the object alert turned on a couple of times driving on the highway. My daughter also has experience this while driving both highway and town street. Mechanic from honda is not addressing the smell of gas in oil cap even with information I told him about this problem noted with previous customers. Hasn't looked into it since my car has been there for a day and half.
1- for the engine, I can smell strong fuel inside the car cabinet. The smell sometimes is so strong that I get dizzy and I need to open the window till the car warm up. Happens while in motion, and stationary 2- for the seat built, the hook makes huge noise, and sometimes while hard breaking gets lose and left me unbuckled. You can hear the noise while stationary and the belt get's lose while braking to a full stop.
I have owned this vehicle 1 yr and a few months and have had to have the computer system wiped out and the software reinstalled more than 2x due to 'problem' dash lights all of the sudden scrolling;road departure mitigation system problem, electric brake system problem, brake hold system problem, tire pressure monitor problem, emissions system problem, electric parking brake problem, power steering system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, ect. The vehicle was involved in a fender bender in the middle of all this chaos, but the problems started shortly after I bought it in may2019. At one time the computer would clear itself out and I could ride around for a day or two without all these lights flashing. That is no longer the case. These scrolling problem lights occur after I've been driving down the road but now they come on immediately when I turn on the vehicle. Prior to this and months ago, when I was rounding a corner on the freeway all the sudden the brake assist engaged as if I was too close to a vehicle in front of me. It was quite a jolt. The first time this occurred was october/november. 2019. This evening I got my oil changed and the mechanic found gas in my oil; I mentioned a gas odor last winter to the dealership when I took it in for oil change. They basically blew it off. No doubt about it now. In fact I even saved some of the oil that came out of the engine to show my husband when he gets home. I have used two different dealerships thus far because of workmanship issues at the first dealership. Now dealership number two does not even want to touch my vehicle.
I was parking un my job parking lot. When was lunch time y when're my car to eat lunch I tried to start the engine to play music and to turn in the AC . And the message the system is broken appears and the lights where flashing then the car died . Later at the end of the day I call somebody to help me to change the battery but the battery was fine . Was just the car
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while coasting downhill, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that on approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal was depressed and the check engine warning light disappeared. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to respond with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and had the vehicle towed to bend honda located at 2225 ne hwy 20, bend, or 97701, (541)797-2054, where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of failure. The failure mileage was 29,500.
Leaky compressor and discharge hose within 4 years, suggesting defective design/manufacturing, possibly due to transition to 1234yf refrigerant. This refrigerant being flammable and more hazardous & flammable than the previous r-134a refrigerant, this leakage represents a possible safety hazard (not just comfort) is worth noting that this issue appeared so widespread, that one dealer suggested a 3 week minimum wait for the parts. Honda has already issued an A/C extended warranty for a similar vehicle (honda civic)
