Code p0172 appeared. Honda replace A/C control module with no charge under bulletin 19-032. Honda stated "if the code comes back on they will need to replace injectors as well." the code came back in a month but now they say its off warranty and I will have to pay $1507.08 for injector replacement. They should have replaced the injectors from the start.

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.

Ever since the car was new, when turning a corner on city intersections, the vehicle would hesitate, intermittently. I've been at the dealer, and they tell me there is nothing wrong. Recently I read about a recall of crv's for a fuel pump problem. Not being a mechanic, this sounds like my problem. Unfortunately, honda does not have this recall on their website. Any guidance you can give will be most welcome. Sincerely, [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

We repeatably have the smell of gas in the car (tubo-charged crv) and in my garage after filling the gas tank. I've seen no leakage on the garage floor but the smell of gas is overwhelming. Likewise it is a sickening smell in the car. I think this is a tremendous safety issue since I have a gas fired furnace and hot water heater in the garage - I open the garage door to air it out for fear of a fire. I understand that honda has been looking into the gas smell issue but no recall has been issued. For safety sake when is something going to be done?

I was driving on I-5 about 70 MPH, suddenly the car started running rough and speed dropped immediately to 10-12 MPH. The check engine light came on. I immediately pulled to the side of the road. After a minute or so the car returned to normal. I continued driving to the next dealer and had them inspect the car. They could find nothing wrong and gave me back my car. After driving an additional 15 minutes the same thing happened only the check engine light and many other warning lights came on and flashed. Once again I pulled to the side of the road and was towed to the dealership. They then changed the oil, replaced a fouled spark plug, adjusted the fuel injector settings and replaced the climate control unit. Honda has been unable to explain to me why this would solve the problem long term.

I called honda on 1/9/20, they advised to come in sooner than later. Car is at honda now 1/10/20, they are stating all codes may be due to two codes that need to be fixed: p0302 (fuel injection), which is covered under warranty and u0129 lost communication with braking system due to A/C control unit - which will cost me $1630 for a car with only 60,000 miles on it!

Vehicle was driven friday 1/3/2020 in a mix of driving that included thirty-five miles at 70mph+ and secondary trip of ten miles in town that was a mix of traffic lights and slow moving traffic. While driving vehicle in slow moving traffic cabin of vehicle filled with gas fumes, first faintly, but became worse until headache and nausea occurred. Vehicle was eventually parked and rested for ten minutes to check oil along with interior air refresh. While checking oil I observed the oil level .75 inches above the full mark on the dip stick with an overall strong odor of fuel. Engine operated as it always has, no check engine light, and no evidence of drive ability problems. Oil level was also observed to be .75 inches above full mark 11/24/2019 and subsequent photo was taken. Oil was changed 1/4/2020 at 50,189 with oil life at 50% with 5,714 miles. Prior oil change service occurred at 44,475 miles on 8/27/2019 and the oil level was verified at full line . Fuel smells have been noticed in this vehicle since 300 miles on odometer. Vehicle was brought to dealer december 12/2017 for fuel smell complaint but no rectification made. 12/2018 the dealer performed tsb 18-114 which included HVAC module replacement, and reprogram tcu and PCM, and change oil. After this much anticipated update virtually no change was observed as oil rise and fuel smells continued to occur. During the winter of 2018-2019 oil rise increased .50" above full mark at 5000 mile oil, but premium fuel was utilized consistently. We also observed very few instances of gas smell in cabin. Manufacturer has communicated this vehicle does not require premium fuel. This vehicle is driven mostly highway miles, 25 miles per trip at 70mph+. Our driving situation contradicts the manufacturer explanation of short trips as cause of excessive oil dilution by fuel.

Gas gets in the oil, gas fumes go into the car itself and make us dizzy while driving (not safe). Car sputters (not safe) and heater does not get warm enough to keep the windshield clear in cold weather reducing viability and creating a safety issue. It takes 15 minutes of driving for car to warm up, I don't know how to see out of the windshield for the first 15 minutes. I'm aware this is a known issue with my model, I would like honda to do a recall and really actually fix it. Dealer says there is no fix at this time. The service campaign isn't working. I'm reading that the 2019 were supposedly fixed with the same service campaign and it's not working.
