The front brake line from the master cylinder to the ABS hydraulic control valve has failed from what appears to be corrosion failure directly related to electrolyte fluid leaking from the battery. The failure caused brake fluid to drain from the master cylinder reservoir and resulted in brake failure while the vehicle was being driven. Multiple warning lamps and warning messages turned on after brake application failure was noted by the driver. The vehicle use was terminated at the time the warning messages appeared and towed into our repair facility.

What owners say
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under Technical Service Bulletin: 26-091 (Product Update: 2018–20 Accord/2017–19 CR-V CMBS Software Update); however, the failure occurred after the TSB repair. The contact stated that while driving 55–60 MPH, the ABS and several unknown warning lights illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle took longer than normal to stop. The steering wheel was shaking while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that there was a cylinder misfire and that the fuel injector needed to be replaced. The contact associated the failure with Technical Service Bulletin: 21-010 (Warranty Extension: MIL Comes On with DTC P0420, P0430, P030x, and P219A/B (Without Software Update); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 77,098.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while reversing out of the garage, the ABS, traction control, braking system, and check engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic and was diagnosed with fuel injector failure. The vehicle was scheduled to be repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the issue by the mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
While driving approximately 70 mph on the highway, my 2018 Honda CR-V suddenly lost engine power and rapidly decelerated. At the same time the check engine light began flashing and multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, including the ABS warning light. I was unable to accelerate and the vehicle would not restart after the loss of power. I attempted to guide the vehicle toward the shoulder for safety, but the vehicle was rear-ended shortly after the power loss occurred. The vehicle has since been declared a total loss by my insurance company. Approximately two weeks prior to the incident I experienced intermittent engine sputtering while driving. No repairs had yet been performed at that time. After the accident I discovered that my vehicle VIN is associated with an open fuel pump motor safety recall (EXP2) that had not been remedied prior to the incident. The suspected component involved is the fuel/propulsion system related to the fuel pump recall, although this has not yet been confirmed by inspection. The vehicle is currently in the possession of my insurance carrier and may be available for inspection upon request depending on the insurance process. The vehicle has been inspected by insurance representatives following the accident. The sudden loss of power at highway speed created a significant safety risk because the vehicle could not maintain speed with surrounding traffic and could not be restarted.
I bought my car a Honda CRV 2018 at a dealership brand new in 2019. The problems with car is now with ABS system. ABS lights are all on and information was told by independent service. ABS system was replaced by independent service center, but the problem is still ongoing. Do you recover for the ABS system?
For 7 days straight, during cold weather, the car dashboard would cycle through at least 7 indicators indicators reporting such as lane departure, tire pressure ABS, cruise control failure, emission system failures, posing a danger when showing up in the middle of trips on the highway. In other instances, the warnings start as soon as the engine starts, or within 1-2 minutes of starting the engine. The factory remote start feature does not work when the dashboard warnings cycle through, as well.
Abs light was on in morning and brake light was flashing and has not cleared, code says electronic parking brake issue
At around 88,400 miles my Enging light came on saying I had an "Emissions Problem." Shortly after the Emissions problem was being signaled, several other lights came on including, ABS problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Electronic Break problem and several others. I took my car to a Honda dealership's service shop to have a dianostics test run. According the the report the "check found code P0172 fuel systtem too rich." "Performed A/F test, CYL,1,2,3 Failed too rich." And they recommended replacing the injectors and I opted to have it done by them. When asked if that seemed ealrier for fuel injectors to go, the service rep said yes that they typically last the life of the egine.

Abs activated on icy road.brakes failed at next attempt to stop on dry road.no brake response at all. Had to go over curb on grass to avoid hitting car in front of me. No brake warning lights came on.scared to drive car. Have grandchildren I drive to school. Their safety and those of others concern me if this should occur again. I feel lucky that I did not hit a car,pole, or tree when I went over curb and into yard to stop.
The car has automatically braked even if there is no traffic around me. Last week I was going 70 mph with no a car in the road in either direction near me and the ABS light flashed and my car lurched and brakes. The ABS is triggering min 2x a week at this point when it shouldn’t and the dealership is telling me “that’s normal and I don’t understand”
