All the following safety systems were getting failed lights on vehicle: - Adaptive Cruise control - Collision Mitigation - Road Departure Mitigation - Vehicle Stability Assist - Hill Start Assist - Electric Parking Brake - Tire Pressure Monitoring. We were replacing the battery thinking it was a battery issue as it was diagnosed prior. Took it to dealer and they confirmed fuel injectors had failed and needed to be replaced at 81K miles.

Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Honda CRV Fuel Injector Issue (the federal safety agency) Team, I am writing to urgently report a safety concern regarding my Honda CRV, and to request a recall and replacement of the fuel injector system. Recently, my Honda CRV experienced a series of warning lights illuminated on the dashboard display. Upon diagnostic examination at an authorized Honda dealership, it was determined that the issue stems from a malfunctioning fuel injector. Prior to this diagnosis, my vehicle was involved in two alarming incidents where its speed became uncontrollable, despite my efforts to apply the accelerator pedal. The first incident fortunately did not result in an accident due to sparse traffic conditions. However, during the second incident, the vehicle behind me was forced to perform an emergency brake maneuver, narrowly averting a potentially catastrophic collision. These incidents highlight a critical safety hazard that poses a significant risk to both myself and other road users. As a concerned member of the community, I strongly urge the federal safety agency to initiate a recall of all affected Honda CRV vehicles and implement a comprehensive replacement program for the fuel injector system. Addressing this issue promptly is crucial to preventing future accidents and ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await your swift action and resolution of this pressing concern. Sincerely, One of the CRV owners
Driving on the highway at 65-70 MPH from Buffalo on [XXX] - so there was heavy traffic. Engine started to run rough, then the warning system showed almost all of the errors on the dash, including TPM, collision avoidance, lane alert, etc. Then the car could only go about 25 MPH, so had to pull off to the side (luckily) and turned off car to restart since that has worked before. This time it did not work, so had to drive about 1 mile to next exit on the side of the road and call for a tow from Erie to Pittsburgh. This has happened before when trying to accelerate from an ramp to the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was driving my Honda CRV 2017 on I-65 in Birmingham - Montgomery area in Alabama in March 2024 and suddenly in the middle of the busy highway the vehicle stalled and wouldn’t drive even after stepping on the accelerator a little harder. I then turned on my emergency lights to signal to the behind vehicles that I have and emergency situation became I was in the middle of a busy highway and the vehicle simply wouldn’t drive. I managed to pull aside of the highway and turned the engine off because I didn’t know what the issue was. After a few minutes I started the vehicle again and drove a few miles and the vehicle stalled again. After a couple of repeated cycle, I got the vehicle to a nearby Honda dealership for diagnostic testing which later revealed that the fuel injectors, the head gasket, the turbo system etc were causing the vehicle to stall. The vehicle is currently not drivable and has since been with the Honda dealership as I am writing. With taxes, the dealership is charging me approximately $5000 USD to fix this problem, money that I cannot afford. Not knowing what to do, I did a brief research to see if anyone else has experienced this issue before and I found out in the consumer report that other drivers have actually experienced exactly the same issue that happened to my vehicle. I currently do not have any additional vehicle for commuting and I am forced to use rented vehicles with the rental cost accumulating on the daily basis while my vehicle remains with the dealership. I am therefore writing this notification for Honda to look into this potentially risk safety incidence and help Honda CRV owners and myself get this problem fixed because such experience doesn’t boost consumer confidence for both current and future Honda CRV owners. Thanks
The fuel injectors are the issue with this Honda. When driving with these injectors and they go bad the vehicles braking system, lane assist, and Vehicle stability goes out. I have had my vehicle serviced (no injectors available to fix issue at this moment) by a Honda dealership since every warning and check engine light was on. Honda is aware of this issue but fails to recall the injectors. No repair invoice yet however it is a $2,500 fix when the parts are available from backorder.
While driving on the highway, the car abrutly slowed down to 25 mph and all of the lights on the dash lit up. Fortunately, I was able to pull over to the side of the highway and avoid an accident. Upon taking the car to the dealership, they stated that the car required new fuel injectors. Prior to this incident, there were no indications of any issues with the car.
All the warning lights on my dashboard lit up one day with no warning. I took it to the dealer and they determined that the fuel injectors were bad.
All warning lights turned on and vehicle lost power/dropped speed to virtually 10 mph. This is a fuel injection issue and is widespread safety problem with the honda crv. A girl recently had this issue and was rear-ended. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
In September of 2022 all the warning lights went off and the associated systems shut down. Took vehicle to dealer and had codes checked. Code thrown was P0172 - system too rich. Though vehicle was under extended warranty at the time of this incident none of the potential TSB’s for this known issue were investigated. Was advised that it was potentially bad gas and to run it low, return to dealer and have lights reset, refill with better fuel and see if the code trips again. Now in January of 2024, after my extended warranty has expired, the same code has been thrown again, and I’ve been advised to try the same thing, though this adviser does not believe the gas is the issue. He speculates that the fuel injectors are the likely culprit. Once again, a very known issue to Honda, which costs about $1500 to $2000 to repair. As this is a known issue, Honda should be correcting it free of charge to the owners of these vehicles.
While driving the car it began to spit and sputter and lost power to the point I had to pull out of traffic to the shoulder, stop, and turn hazard lights on. While there I turned the car off and restarted it. I began to enter back into traffic, got to about 10-15 mph and all of a sudden the car ran choppy and every light came on the dash displaying a problem with every function of the car. My husband works about a mile from where I was so I drove from where it happened to his workplace. From there the phone calls began to obtain a tow to the dealership. Diagnostic results said head gasket was leaking and coolant was fouling the spark plugs. Dealer quoted $5700 for repairs. (25 hours of labor). Around 86,000 miles (10 weeks ago) the same dealership replaced fuel injectors and spark plugs for $1700. Now the 2017 car is just under 90,000 miles.
My car had been rough on the steering wheel and eventually started to stall but still had a quarter of a tank of gas. It marked at a quarter of a tank but stalled in the middle of the freeway going 65+ mph and caused me to go from 65 to 0 in a matter of seconds. All my lights came on, on my dash and the car would not run. Went to get gas and car took a while to run again, this is the second time it happens and I didn’t even get a warning light for gas, there was that much still left in it. Apparently no recalls are associated with this VIN but this has happened twice in a month and it runs through gas very quickly.
I own a 2017 Honda CRV EX AWD. While driving downhill on a mountain road on Dec. 9, 2023, all of my dashboard warning lights and alarms began flashing and sounding off. Some of the warnings cycled through one after another while others were simultaneous. I continued to drive looking for a safe place to pull over. Going downhill I was able to maintain some speed, but when the road leveled off I found I was unable to accelerate to more than 5-10 miles per hour despite the engine continuing to rev. After pulling over, I stopped the engine for 10 minutes. Upon restarting, the dashboard warnings repeated the same process. At first opportunity, I took the car to a Honda dealership where code DTC P0304 was diagnosed and I was advised that the problem was failure of my fuel injectors. Repairs were made at a cost of more than $2000. Fortunately, this failure did not happen to me on a crowded freeway going at higher speeds as it could have easily created a situation where property damage, injuries, or fatalities could have occurred.
In August my 2017 Honda CRV started losing acceleration and felt like it was stalling. Every light on the dashboard came on. I brought it to herb chambers in Westborough and they fixed the turbo charger, the vehicle was still under warranty so I expected to get the issue fixed. In early December the newly 'fixed' honda CR-V started losing acceleration, similar to the previous time. I got the car to the dealership and they fixed the same issue again but charging around 3000$ because now the car wasn’t under warranty. On Saturday January 6th I started up the 2017 Honda CRV with the intentions of going to Herb Chambers in Westborough. (10-15 miles). The CRV again loses acceleration and check engine light comes on along with every other light in the book. Realizing I was not going to make it to Herb Chambers, I pulled into a lot to call for AAA (thankfully our 3 year daughter wasn't with me). AAA Tows the car to Herb Chambers. This time they said it was the spark plugs and Herb Chambers Honda charged close to ANOTHER $1,000 for the SAME issue that should have been fixed in August of 2023. Please see attached Honda documents for your reference. Three times in the span of 4-5 months where the car suddenly goes ‘limp’, on busy highways no mind you, I had to put my hazards on and pray no one hit me, it’s gotten to a point of where there is a known issue and these Honda service departments know this, but still ‘work on your car’, for outrageous sums.
Bad Fuel Injectors at 60,000 Miles Caused all dash lights to go on Car went into Limp mode
Car shut down while driving in middle of highway couldn’t even get it to shoulder. Everything stopped. Would not restart. Took to Honda Dealer. “Reset” fuel pump. Said we were out of gas but there was still 1/8 tank. No other diagnosis. Very unsafe.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the steering wheel assist braking system and other warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel injector had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle would be taken to another dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
Fuel pump stopped working. Car had trouble starting, felt ‘jumpy’ while driving. Had to get the fuel pump replaced.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the system was independently disabled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and informed the contact that the fuel injectors were defective. The mechanic informed the contact that if the vehicle had been driving at the time of the failure, the vehicle would not be able to exceed 10 MPH. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on backorder. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.
Defective fluid injector in multiple CRV 2017. Honda has discontinued the original part and updated the part along with the part number. This injector issue disables KEY safety features of our CR-V's when it occurs. An injector issue should NOT cause safety features of the CR-V to stop working (ex. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, TPS, Hill Start Assist, Braking, etc...) In addition to the disabling key safety features, some CR-V's have reportedly gone into limp mode while at highway speeds. If this occurs to you while you have a 18 wheeler on your rear, you could potentially be in a serious injury/life event.
All warning lights on the dashboard come on and disable numerous safety features. The car will have a rough idle at ignition and will sometimes go into a limp mode and will not accelerate. I have researched the issue and believe it is the fuel injectors. According to my research that is the solution that Honda has for these problems. Honda has also changed the part number of these fuel injectors and the manufacturer. I believe Honda is at fault for putting manufacturer defective fuel injectors in.
When I was driving on highway when moving from Texas to Indiana, about 11 warning lights were suddenly on. After sending my car to a local vehicle and mechanic autocenter, the vehicle has been detected code P0172 and P0304 issues which trigger check engine light one along with another 10 warning lights, including turning off cruise control and off-road detection systems. Both my local Honda dealer and mechanic auto center diagnose it as fuel injector faulty and warned me not driving it on highway for potential risk.
2017 Honda CRV Ex 1.5 Turbo with 97483 miles while driving Multiple alerts on dash showed up. OBD 2 scanner diagnosed it as P0172. Dealership was informed of the code as dealer code came back the same and diagnose it as failed fuel injectors x4. Showed recall letter dated 7/2019 regarding extended warranty Honda Corp. denied claim.
All dashboard warning lights come on They flash and cycle through. I have reported to Don Wessell Honda and Pineger Honda in Springfield, MO and Honda of Jefferson City, Jefferson City, MO. This stated sporadically in 2021 and is constant in 2023. I have paid for replacement parts based on the best guess of the problem. Scanning tool does not show codes. First alternator, then oxygen sensor and now injectors. Honda believes injectors are the problem. It is over $1,000.00 to replace them. I have found numerous people having the same issue on line. I believe these injectors should be covered under a recall. They are dangerous!!! When the flashing lights go off the car works fine; once they turn on, randomly, the car spurts and dies out. I have no power to drive. I have to manually turn off car and restart it to get power. This is extremely dangerous in the middle of the road. I purchased this vehicle new and had to have the computer replaced soon after I purchased it. It is beyond frustrating, expensive, and extremely dangerous to not have your car perform when your driving down the road. Please recall these injectors before I or someone else gets hurt or killed by the car losing power suddenly when driving. Thank you sincerely.
We've had to tow our car to the dealership 2 times due to fuel pump, fuel injector related issues. It seems for the year 2017 CRV this is a very common and known issue but Honda is not acknowledging it. Tech notes state: CUSTOMER STATES MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND VEHICLE WILL NO ACCELERATE PAST 20MPH. PLEASE CHECK AND ADVISE. FOUND CODE P0301 STORED. CHECKED COOLANT LEVEL AND FOUND OK.CHECKED FREEZE FRAME DATA. FOUND ST FUEL TRIM IS AT 0.82. SYSTEM IS RUNNING VERY RICH. RECOMMEND SB 19- 032 IS PERFORMED.

The engine failed and I was stranded 60 miles from home.all the dash lights were blinking and I couldn’t get the parking brake to unlock . It is available for inspection . I was stranded at a service station with another senior citizen for three hours in 100 degree plus weather. We were stranded and our safety was compromised as we waited for help . I had it towed to a dealer 20 miles away . Rented a hotel and got an Uber to the car the next morning . The auto repair person examined the car and determined that the turbo fan had disintegrated and was sucked into the engine . After further rested he reported the engine had failed and it would cost $8 000. Many of the lights and sensors suddenly began to blink . The car lost some power but we were able to limp to the gas station . Hello [XXX] , Here are my technicians findings, due to the metal moving through the oil passages he recommends replacing the engine and turbo "verified engine running rough. retrieved operative dtcs p0299(PGM-FI) and u0416-68(IDSS). U0416-68 likely caused by millimeter wave radar software. rec. update. p0299 and rough running. turbo underboost issue. road tested and captured snapshots. found turbo not boosting. found intercooler and pipes not leaking. found evap purge not leaking. inspected and found turbocharger turbine damaged. turbine debris through intake system from turbo to throttle body and into intake. on road test dtc p2101 electric throttle control malfunction was set and vehicle entered limp mode. found significant debris in throttle body likely causing dtc. suspect debris has entered engine and potential cause for further problems. can only speculate cause for turbo failure. oiling system may be cause. teardown would be necessary for further identification of cause. engine and turbo replacement recommended" Please let me know if you have any other questions i can help answer.

In August 2022, I started my car and all indicators on the dash were lit. I took the car to the Honda dealership and they explained it was an oil dilution issue which was covered by Honda's extended warranty. Three weeks later after the repair, I started my car and all indicators on the dash were lit again. I took it back to the dealership and they diagnosed a problem with the fuel injectors. The service person that it was not covered under the warranty or a recall, but that they had noticed other CR-V owners experiencing the same issue. I had to have my fuel injectors replaced which cost me $1,491.76. It appears that the fuel injector issue is present on the Pilot, Ridgeline, and Odyssey vehicles manufactured around the same time as my CR-V, but a recall has not been issued. I filed a complaint with Honda to which they replied there was nothing they could do unless the problem was reported and investigated (by whom was unclear). The complaint has been archived by Honda but can be reopened should a recall be issued.
This was first noticed in May 2023 . All the advanced warning signs were flashing And the car would intermittently stall in traffic . The dealer said the fuel injectors were faulty and needed to be redesigned. The dealer said that these fuel injectors were on back order with no availability date. If I continue to drive the vehicle with faulty fuel injectors the catalytic converter would be damaged If I continue to drive the vehicle with faulty fuel injectors the catalytic converter would be damaged. When I bought the car I bought the gold level easy care extended warranty period 10 year a 120000 miles . They deny covering this repair because there was residue on the fuel injectors period period my point of course was they were faulty by design not by my neglect period. It is now mid-september and I have been without a vehicle since June. There was a recall on the fuel injectors of later models of Honda's 2018 to 2023.
My 16 year old son was driving the vehicle when all of the lights on the dashboard started flashing and alarms started sounding. As a new driver he found this really alarming and didn't know what to do. He was driving along at 40 mph along a local main road and very nearly collided with a vehicle in front of him at a set of traffic lights because he lost attention on the road. He pulled to the side of the road and was then a hazard to other road users and in a dangerous spot himself until he called me and I went out to him in a different car. We drove home carefully as the car seemed to be running fine but he was understandably shaken up. This has occurred multiple times in the last couple of weeks. The car bleeps several times and goes through all of the things that are not working correctly. Emission System Problem, Brake System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem), Hill Start Assist Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Electric Parking Brake Problem, Tire Pressure Monitor Problem are all shown as faulty. The dealership have now told me that it is a fuel injector problem and they will need to be replaced. Looks like the car is showing an OBD-II code of running too rich and cylinder misfire. I have codes P0172 and P0303 and one other I think. My car has only done 45,000 miles. From reading more about this it seems that the fuel injectors in my generation of Honda CR-V (mine is a 2017) have widespread issues with these components.The fault causes the warning lights to light up like a Christmas tree which can be extremely distracting. All of the safety features also no longer work which is dangerous for the driver continuing to drive in that state. Inexperienced drivers like my son (and anyone else for that matter) can be left in very hazardous situations.
All fuel injectors failed per Honda dealership. They pulled error code p0172 from the car. When the fuel injectors fail, all of the car dash lights go on; saying the car has disabled ALL of the car's safety features, including: collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, lane keeping assist, vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, adaptive cruise control, electric parking brake, and tire pressure monitoring system.
Beginning 8/22 and currently happening, my 2017 CR-V 1.5L Turbo with 48K miles (and all routine services done at Honda dealership/service centers since buying it brand new) does not engage when going from Reverse to Drive; in 1st gear the RPMS increase up to 3K or so before shifting into 2nd gear. When stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, and the car is idling, when starting up again the car hesitates and shutters before engaging. When on the highway and slow down for traffic or switching lanes, the vehicle hesitates even when pushing the gas pedal consistently or down all the way. I have had the vehicle into three different Honda dealerships/service centers and they can replicate the issue but no resolution as there are no service codes identified during diagnostics and none appear on the dash. First Honda advisor came up with no recommendations; 2nd advisor flushed and replaced transmission fluid; and 3rd advisor suggested testing and replacing turbo at cost of $3500+ and no guarantee it would solve the problem. I am distressed that the issue cannot be identified by Honda and fixed. I fear for my personal safety and that of my passengers as the CR-V is less reliable and I only drive short distances when need be. Taking it on a road-trip or long distance is out of the question. It’s a matter of time before I’m left stranded or in an accident due to lack of throttle response.
