Alternating multiple System Problem messages lit up the Dashboard & a bell sounded. Took car to Honda dealer, diagnosis was faulty fuel injection system which needed to be replaced ( cost estimate $1500). Was told Parts are on back order, won’t be in for 4-6 weeks. Dealer advised not to drive vehicle. Dealer would not offer a loaner.
2018 Honda CR-V fuel system complaints

For second time in 9 days, car taken to Krenzen Honda dealer, Duluth, MN as car goes into “limp mode” and all warning lights keep cycling through and beeping. When in limp mode, very unsafe for car to suddenly drop to 10 miles per hour - on the freeway, this would be life threatening! Krenzen told us about 2 weeks ago it now needs fuel injectors. We’re told by dealer over 8000 Hondas from 2017-19 in need of fuel injectors. They said could be 4-6 weeks! We live in Tucson, AZ and need to drive home in less than 3 weeks. This is ridiculous to not only need fuel injectors for a 5 year old car, but to wait for such a long time for these parts! IS THIS GOING TO BE A RECALL SOON??
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40-50 MPH, the vehicle decelerated and stalled. The contact stated that she was able to restart the vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs, and other unknown parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle decelerated. The contact’s son was able to veer to the side of the roadway and turned off the vehicle. The contact’s son was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle remained at the dealer. The contact stated that several days later she was notified by the dealer that the fuel injectors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not yet been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
Within the last 2 months the car began to run rough. We added fuel injector cleaner to no avail. After some time, the computer system went berserk - every system in the car was informing us that it had a problem (ie lane keep assist, lane departure warning, collision mitigation braking system, vehicle stability assist , electric power steering etc) along with continued rough engine performance. We took the vehicle to a local Honda dealership repair shop and were eventually informed that the fuel injectors were faulty and need to be replaced. We requested that they order a set of injectors for us a month ago and are still waiting delivery of these back-ordered parts A phone call recently to the parts department of another dealer turned up with non-availability there as well The fact that these parts are in such demand along with the continued poor performance of our vehicle suggests that there may be some sort of widespread problem with this model of vehicle The constant alerts about system failures accompanied by warning chimes are a major distraction while driving. If a real problem occurs involving one of these systems, we won’t know about it since they are all “screaming “ at us about their impending failure While bad fuel injectors are not a direct safety hazard, the resulting systems problem can be seen as somewhat hazardous
Vehicle was stuttering when accelerating, usually when cold. This is unsafe since someone behind me could have run into the rear of my car if they weren't paying attention. I took into dealership and they found errors and had to replace the fuel injectors. Vehicle only had 78556 miles and was no longer covered by warranty.
Fuel pump stopped working. While driving, I pressed down the gas and car stopped working.
My car's fuel pump system quit working without warning or noticed. My car stalled in an intersection and caused serious concern for my safety. Honda has a safety recall for other Honda CRV 2018 vehicles but not my vin number. My car only has 54,000 miles on it and it is very odd that this recall is the same problem I'm having. "Fuel pump inoperability could prevent an engine from starting or stall an engine while driving, increasing the risk of a crash"
I completed an oil change on Saturday May 13, 2023 with Morehead Honda, Newburgh NY. On May 14, 2023, while operating my 2018 Honda CRV all the lights for the ADAS illuminated on the dash board of the vehicle and continued to cycle through continously. The lights are as follow: hill start problems, collision mitigation problems, brake system problems, power steering problems, VSA problems, steering problems, TPMS problem. Brake hold problems, adaptive cruise problems, electrical brake problems, brake hold system problems, road mitigation problems, emissions system problems and power steering problems I returned the vehicle to Morehead Honda dealership and a diagnostic was performed. The diagnostic results were excessive fluid to injector and excessive air to brake which involves the compressor and the fuel injector. This is a clear manufacturer defect which is a safety issue. I also conducted a query on the NHSTA and there are recalls listed for issue for 2018 Honda CRVs, however my vehicle VIN was not included.
All warning lights for ALL systems going off at once while car was being driven and rotating across dash board indicating complete system failure . Car drove well but dealer says fuel injectors are faulty at 62000 miles and unsafe to drive. Car dropped off at dealer 4/23/23- and now 5/11/23. The dealer says no parts available as this is a multi model malfunction across all HONDA cars from multiple years. There is NO eta on when an part may be available and no offer of loaner car.
As I was driving on the interstate, heading to get gas because I had 25 miles left (according to my car's system), my car stalled from going about 70 mph. At the exact same time, I got warnings for what seemed like every system of the car. Luckily, I was able to get on the left shoulder before I stopped moving, but if traffic was worse or if I wasn't as close to one of the shoulders, I would've been stranded in a lane (or two) of the interstate. After I took my car to the dealership, they determined I had a bad fuel pump and that it needed to be replaced. Turns out that I didn't have 25 miles left; I had 0. I emailed Honda Customer Service, mentioning a prior recall they had for fuel pumps, but it seems that didn't include mine.
All the warning lights started displaying on the dashboard over the course of six months. One day they would all start coming up one at time, then when I would turn off the vehicle for an extended amount of time, they were no longer there. Finally at my oil change appointment I brought up the issue and I was told it was a fuel injector issue. Apparently they’ve had many CR-V owners come in with the same problems…over $1000 to repair!
18 Honda CRV, 40k miles now. All of my warning lights just came on at once last week. I took my car to the dealer, they charged $147 for inspection and said I needed new fuel injectors with $2000 estimate.
I am so disppointed and frustrated. Exactly ONE year ago my 2018 CRV had power issues. Loss power, excessive and unsafe deceleration when driving on State Highway 20. Every warning light and driver assist notification light up on the dash. My car was jerking and I had to pull to the side of the road. Thankfully not to far from home and able to drive to the house but could not get over 20MPH. Took to the dealer, fuel pump replaced at MY COST. Here we are ONE yeat later and all dash board lights on again in similar fashion. Car is currently at dealer ship with noted need for fuel injectors. I find it peculiar and upsetting as having done research 2022 and now again 2023: there have been issues with fuel pump and fuel injectors reported on the federal safety agency, forums, to honda and articles about the recurrent issues with the 2018 CRV and Honda does not want to be responsible. There were some recalls of the 2018 CRV but my VIN# did not identify as one. The 2018 CRV has recurrent issues in this department. My car was part of the S/B 18-114 campaign to "fix" and issue reguarding the oil/fuel mixture and here my car is having issues that I feel are a result.
Fuel injectors, sending too much fuel into spark plugs. Accelerated and nothing happened. Except jumping and bucking motions. Drifted to side of road. every single light on the dashboard came on, and the vehicle was not drivable. Towed to Honda where this was diagnosed. $2,200 plus repair bill to replace fuel injectors and spark plugs. 2018 crv 1.5 engine, 138,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, there were several unknown warning lights and other symbols illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the vehicle was diagnosed, it was determined that the fuel injectors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
We had just gotten off the freeway and were sitting at a stoplight. When the light turned green, all of a sudden several of the yellow warning lights on the dashboard started to flash: emergency braking, electronic parking break, tire pressure, lane-keep assist, and others. The car became sluggish and moved forward haltingly and slowly. It feels like the breaks or the parking break are cycling on and off. We pulled over as soon as we could. Turning the car off didn't clear the warning lights. We called AAA and they came and checked the battery -- which was at 100% and working fine. The parking break works fine; we can hear it turn on and off using the lever. We had it towed to a Honda dealer nearby and are having it evaluated. It is undriveable in this state, and we are concerned that even if the dealer gets the warning lights to shut off, it could happen again at any time. There are reports all over the federal safety agency website that this is a common issue -- please investigate!
The High Pressure Fuel Pump (16790-5PC-H02) failed on January 1, 2023 at approximately 11:10am in Seattle, WA. We were taking the interchange from WB SR 520 to SB I-5, which includes a short uphill section, when the engine lost power and completely stalled at the top of the ramp. No warning lamps or other symptoms appeared prior to failure. We were able to push the car and roll it through a gap in the concrete barrier into a vacant road construction site. Had the stall happened one minute later, my wife, our daughters aged 2 and 4, and I would have been stranded in heavy traffic in the number 1 lane of I-5 in an area with no safe shoulder. I cannot imagine how we would have avoided a serious collision in that case. We were not able to restart the car at that time and all repair shops appeared to be closed for New Year's Day, so we had the vehicle towed to our home. The vehicle started without apparent issue several days later, and we brought it to Sa-Go Auto Repair in Bellevue. The mechanic at Sa-Go was not able to immediately reproduce and advised us of fuel pump issues with the 2018 Honda CR-V. He directed us to have a dealer evaluate for recall repair. Honda of Bellevue was not able to reproduce the issue and suggested the stall may have been due to a dirty air filter, which they did not replace before returning the car to us. We returned to Sa-Go Auto Repair where the mechanic conducted an extended test drive with scan tool in sync and confirmed the High Pressure Fuel Pump fell off when the vehicle had been running for more than one hour. High Pressure Fuel Pump and Low Pressure Fuel Module Assembly were replaced by Sa-Go on 1/18/2023 and proper function confirmed on test drive. Old parts, including pumps and air filter, were retained by us and are available for inspection. No parts have been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. Invoices and photos attached. Thank you for your consideration.
While driving (road trip 500 miles round trip), all the dashboard lights turned with no real indication of what the issues was. I pulled over to see if there was anything noticeable and did not see anything exteriorly nor once I opened the hood of the car. I continued my drive home (remaining 100 miles or so) and once I parked my car in driveway, I noticed a strong smell with black smoke coming from exhaust pipe with black oil at the end of my tailpipes. My car is currently at dealers getting looked at and they recommended changing my fuel injector and spark plugs, which they completed ($2,000) and I AM STILL having issues.!!! Doing my research online I noticed that there was a recall of this vehicle in China but not in the US, which is unacceptable. Something needs to be done ASAP!
The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The TPMS and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a fuel system malfunction. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,000.
Car starting throwing all error codes at once. No issues driving, took to mechanic, could not find any issues. Did this 3 times, was advised to see Honda dealer for possible computer system update. Honda said it needs all fuel injectors and fuel joint pipe replaced, due to clogged injectors. No indication of this problem, no fuel loss or engine issues. This is a 2018 with 60,000 miles. Have looked this issue up, found that it is a known issue with Honda. They will not warranty the fix, wanting to charge $1723.08 to correct.
Hello NHTS, I have been dealing with my vehicle stalling & losing power while driving on the freeway. This is a very dangerous issue with my Honda CRV. I have had this happen several times now and it was reported to Honda. Honda has not yet placed this issue on recall status. This needs to get looked at before someone gets injured or killed.
My vehicle computer started indicating that there was a critical brake failure and other related safety issues, this started after a brake repair at Middletown Honda. I returned to the dealer and they indicated that it’s the fuel injectors misfiring and need replacement. They also indicated that the spark plugs need replacement. I gave approval to replace the spark plugs and the vehicle ran well until I added fuel to the vehicle. then the problem returned. There’s currently a recall on Honda models 2014-2016 for the fuel injectors and I want this vehicle year to be included. Thank you
All warning lights are on and Honda dealer said I need to replace the fuel injectors. My car is a 2018 model with just 60k miles. I searched online and there are many consumers reporting the same issue. Please help us resolve this problem. Thank you.
Vehicle has a history of stumbling at low speed, especially once it stops. This stumble has stalled four times now. This happens from a cold start at random times. First noticed at 25, 213 miles, then 35,422 miles, 48,391, and most recently 49,908 miles. The first time it was taken to a dealer, nothing was found. Most recently I took it to the dealer and they immediately said corporate told them to change the fuel pump relays. This sounds like an ongoing issue with the CRV.
As I was driving home from work, I tried to accelerate to merge onto the highway and my car would not go over 30-40 mph. It felt like it was going to stall. This could have caused a major accident. I was able to make it home. I took the 2018 honda crv to the dealer that night and was told that Turbocharger was broke. During this whole ordeal, the engine light did not come on once, nor leading up to this event. The dealer ran computer diagnostics and nothing came up. They had to take the car apart to find out what was wrong. Because the turbocharger had been broken, this also caused damage to the fuel injectors and they needed replaced. 25 days later, again on my way home from work, every single light and warning message is flashing on my dash, as if there is a battery problem. THERE WAS NO WARNING APPEAR PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. Took it back to the dealer and was told that there is blown head gasket, coolant leaking into the cylinder, no compression in cylinder. Luckily, nothing happened while I was driving. THIS NOW REQUIRES MY WHOLE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. Seems due to driving with the malfunctioning Turbo, the original problem, WHICH I HAD NO IDEA OR WARNING LIGHT, damaged my car further. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE HONDA CRV 2018 SAFETY ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS AND IN MY OPINION MALFUNCTIONED.
When I was turning into a parking lot, all of the dashboard warning lights came on and the vehicle lost power. I was able to safely park the vehicle, but I was unable to get the vehicle to maintain power. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Honda dealership. It was determined the fuel injectors failed, causing the spark plugs to fail and fuel to leak into the oil. The dealership said that they had seen this previously in certain years and models. After researching the issue on the internet, it appears that this is a known issue for certain Honda vehicles. Honda agreed to reimburse me for the spark plugs and labor for the spark plugs because it is a known issue. I'm just very lucky that I wasn't on a freeway traveling at higher speeds when this happened. I believe there is a pending class action lawsuit that is trying to force Honda to issue a recall for this problem.
All warning dash lights came on. Took for service they say it is the fuel injector is bad and gas running too rich. There is a recall for fuel injector on 2018 Honda CRV but not this one?
Traveling on I-20 My wife reported the car just quit working with no warning between Atlanta and Birmingham about 90 miles from home. She was able to get to the side of the interstate and called me. She said all the lights on the display were showing as failed systems. Internet search lead me to believe it was the battery. On arrival i installed new battery but symptoms remained car would not start and just shuddered when attempting to start. I called the dealership we purchased from to talk to a tech. I was asked if she was low on gas below 1/2 tank. Yes the gauge shows 1/4 tank remains. I was told to get gas and it should be fine, some of the CRV's run out of gas but read that gas remains. I did get gas and car cranked we drove home. At 63 we don't need this kind of dangerous situation to happen. Think how easily this could have gone from bad to worse. She did call the state patrol and asked for the roadside assistance truck to come. This would at least have some flashing lights. They never made it. The dealership told me on the phone that this was not a recall or covered but they knew about it occurring. They would be glad to fix it at my expense. Money for maintenance is one thing but I might as well let my wife drive a junker if this is what I get when I buy a Honda. This occurred 02/16/22 so I have not been to the dealer for their evaluation, just to the gas station.
I have a 2018 Honda CR-V purchased 12/4/2017. During the fall/winter of 2018, the warning lights and bells came on for apparently no reason and the vehicle would barely move down the road. Turning off the vehicle and restarting it fixed the issue with the vehicle moving however the lights remained on. I took the vehicle in to be checked by the dealer at least twice, but they were unable to find any problem. At this time the only possible solution that I found from searching the problem on google was a possible loose battery connection or low voltage in batter. They reset the computer and it has continued to occur multiple times since then. Once again on Friday, February 4, 2022, I took the vehicle in for a service with the warning lights all on again. They fixed some extended warranty issues which they thought fixed the problem. However, within less than 5 minutes after starting the vehicle all the lights were on again. At this time, I again did a google search for this issue and now I am finding that 4 years later with hundreds of people continuing to have the same problem repeatedly the fix that seems to be the actual solution is to replace the fuel injectors. Yet, Honda is refusing to recognize this as their problem and forcing their customers to foot the bill for this repair that has obviously been an issue since the vehicle was purchased. When all the warning lights are on none of the vehicle safety features work and all the flashing lights and dinging bells are a major driver distraction. Nevermind when start your car and attempt to pull onto the road and the vehicle will not run over 5 miles an hour with the gas pedal to the floor. I had to pull over on the side of the road which was not wide enough for me to get out of the road and turn off my ignition and restart my car. Thankfully it would accelerate at a normal speed afterwards and I was able to get home safely.
