2017 Honda CR-V: jerking or lurching

Filed Oct 23, 2026 · Steering · PA

Electronic power steering defect; magnet or torque sensor can give false signals, causing the steering wheel to violently jerk out of the driver's hands, especially at highway speeds. Potential to cause accident. Same issue already recalled for select 2017-2018 Honda Civics and CRVs, as well as 2022-2025 models. However, not all 2017-2021 models have been recalled despite suffering the same part failure issues.

On Aug 10, 2026 every dashboard warning light came on and stayed on Took to the shop and they did some repair work. Then on August 18 while driving, I have been getting stuttering and jerking motion like pauses. Then, a whirling noise would start and every single dashboard warning light would come on. I’ve had my turbocharger assembly replaced twice. This is an ongoing problem I see with this specific SUV and needs to be recalled. As a woman driving this is a horrible feeling. My car is now back in the shop again for the 4th time. My car is very well maintained since I have it and I love it.

2017 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, 1.5L turbo. Vehicle has experienced persistent rough running/idle, random misfires, and hesitation/jerking during acceleration. Genuine Honda OEM fuel injectors were replaced and the system was recalibrated, but the symptoms have persisted. Spark plugs have also previously been replaced. I became aware of the federal safety agency Recall 23V‑858 involving fuel pump impeller failure in certain 2017–2022 Honda CR-V vehicles. Honda’s VIN-specific recall lookup currently shows no active recall for my vehicle. I am concerned that my vehicle may be experiencing a fuel-delivery problem similar to the condition addressed by Recall 23V‑858 despite my VIN not being included in the recall population. The fuel pump has not yet been confirmed as the cause. I am submitting this complaint so the symptoms and VIN are documented and can be considered in determining whether vehicles outside the current recall population may experience a similar defect.

I own a 2017 Honda CR-V Touring AWD, VIN [XXX]. While driving, the steering intermittently feels sticky, notchy, and jerky, like extra friction or sandpaper in the wheel. It is most noticeable at highway speeds during small lane corrections: the wheel momentarily catches or resists, then suddenly releases. This can cause overcorrection and makes it harder to keep a smooth, straight path. The problem does not happen every drive and there is usually no warning light. This matches the well-known “sticky/notchy steering” condition reported on many Honda CR-Vs with electric power steering (EPS) gearboxes. Honda issued safety recall 24V‑744 and related service actions covering many 2022–2025 CR-Vs and similar models for a manufacturing defect in the EPS gearbox (worm gear/worm wheel friction and lubrication). A much smaller 2017–2018 recall (18V‑663 / Honda 18-103) covered only a tiny number of vehicles for a different EPS gearbox torque-sensor magnet issue; my VIN is not included. My 2017 has the same intermittent sticky/jerky feel that later model years had addressed under recall or TSB, but Honda has not provided coverage for this vehicle. I am concerned this is a safety defect that can worsen and increase crash risk if the steering binds or releases unexpectedly.

Earlier this week and again today, my wife and I were using our 2017 Honda CR-V EX when the car behaved very anomalously. In both of these instances, the car started normally and moved out onto the street, but then the engine abruptly bogged down and multiple messages of the form "xxx System Has A Problem" would cycle on the driver's display. At this time, the car would barely move forward or reverse, and shifting into reverse ("R") was accompanied by a noticeable jerk and a thump. The shifter display on the driver's display also appeared to be showing all of the possible shift settings at once. One or two cycles of rebooting the system on the infotainment/backup camera display appeared to clear the engine operation problem, but the error messages persisted for several miles and several restarts before they abruptly disappeared. Note that the streets here in Florida are very flat, and the weather this week has been mostly hot and humid with little rain. We have about 40,000 miles on the odometer, and the car has been serviced regularly by the local Honda dealer. When this anomalous behavior is not taking place, the car seems to move and accelerate normally. Several other complaints appear to describe the same problem, and some owners report that they have been told that they need new fuel injectors. We have not yet taken our car to the dealer or other mechanic, and the problem has not yet been reproduced by the dealer or anyone other than us. This appears to be a safety issue because a sudden loss of engine power in traffic could be very dangerous. During the malfunction with reduced engine power, I recorded a video of the driver's display which I can provide upon request.

On July 19, 2024, I was driving around 30-35 miles an hour. There were no cars close to me either in front or the back or side. My car started to abruptly slow down in a jerking fashion and then the car beeped. It scared me. It didn't stop completely and then the car started moving normally. If a car was behind me, I could have been hit in the rear. The message "brake" did not come on which is supposed to be the first stage in the forward collision safety. This never happened before and now I feel like I have to turn off the safety feature. My 2017 CR-V has 23,000 mi.

I alone in the car driving on a residential street, about 20 miles per hour. There were no cars in front of me when my brakes slammed on suddenly! I was jerked forward and items that were on my passenger seat flew to the the floor. Thankfully there was nobody behind me either, so there was no accident. It was a clear sunny day with no obstructions. There were no messages or warnings that I saw. This happened about 5 days ago. This has never happened before ( I’ve had this vehicle since 2017) and so far it hasn’t happened again. As far as I can tell there are no recalls for this issue, but I did see in my Google research that there have been other reports by Honda owners of this issue. I have not yet contacted Honda.

Major driveability/safety issue. The vehicle started skipping and jerking on highway I-93 on the New Hampshire/ Massachusetts line. I was accelerating to 65 mph and merged with traffic, when the car engine began stalling intermittently. The check engine and maintenance indicator lights turned on. As I coasted to the side of the road, the vehicle continued to jerk and slow/speed up.

CMBS system in Honda CRV 2017 Driving 25-30 mph on a clear day (sunny, dry pavement) when the brakes engaged without warning (beeping sounded, but I didn't see the "BRAKING" sign in orange blink) car stopped hard, I jerked forward in the seat. I was able to drive the car back home (less than a mile away). There were no cars in front of me and fortunately none in the back of me so this didn't cause an accident. I'm afraid to drive the car in case the brakes engage suddenly and causes a rear end accident. I called my local Honda dealership and made first appt available 7/11/2023. This follows 2 incidents where all warning lights flashed (5/8/2023) and (6/17/2023) (including brake system light) the codes pulled were about cylinder misfire at a Honda dealer (on 6/17/2023 - CMA Valley Honda)
