2019 Honda CR-V fuel system problems

Filed Nov 9, 2026 · Driver assistance, Fuel system · NC

Vehicle: 2019 Honda CR-V (1.5L Turbo) Failure Mileage: 72,742 miles While driving, the vehicle experienced a sudden and catastrophic failure of the fuel delivery system. The primary engine malfunction illuminated the Check Engine Light, which immediately triggered a secondary safety system shutdown. The vehicle automatically disabled critical factory safety features, including the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping Assist. The entire dashboard lit up with warning indicators, creating a significant distraction while operating the vehicle at highway speeds. A certified technician retrieved diagnostic trouble code P0172 (Fuel System Bank 1 Too Rich), confirming a fuel injector defect where raw fuel was leaking into the cylinders. The sudden, unprompted disabling of critical advanced crash-avoidance and emergency braking systems while in motion creates an immediate hazard to the driver, passengers, and surrounding traffic. Honda has refused to cover or remedy this known component failure outside of the baseline warranty period.

To whom it may concern. I drive a 2019 CRV Touring, a couple weeks ago while in park, all of my warning lights flashed on to my dashboard including my check engine, TPMS, VSA and collision mitigation system. It was like a true horror movie. This was the first time this issue has occurred for me, my car is just short of 100,000 miles. I brought it to the shop and code P0172 was read, idle too rich. They claimed I needed to replace my Mass Airflow Sensor and recommended a fuel system cleaning along with it. Paid it, lights went off. Then a few days later the check engine light came on again, this time reading p2187. Idle too lean. I bring it back to the same shop and they said it’s because the MAF sensor they put in had a tear in it and they’d replace it again. That same night my check engine light came on again after they replaced the MAF the second time. So I bring it again, they claimed to have run a 4 1/2 hour diagnostic test and found that the pcv valve and the canister purge valve had to be replaced. No other codes popped up except for the same p2187, idle too lean. They didn’t give a reasoning for the diagnosis. They replaced these parts and told me the car was good to go. The moment I turned the car on still at the shop, the check engine light came on. Still reading the same code. The next day they called and claimed it was the fuel injectors this time and they needed to be completely replaced. Upon my research I’ve found that other Honda customers are having the same defect pop up on their crv. I respectfully request that this be investigated on 2019 CRV models and issue a recall. The sudden pop up of all the warning lights on the dashboard combined with reduced power seems like a major safety issue to me and I believe this is an issue that should fully be covered by Honda. Thank you for your attention to this matter and I hope it gets resolved.

To Whom It May Concern, While driving and when at red light or just putting it in park my 2019 Honda CR-V AWD EX, multiple warning lights suddenly illuminated on the dashboard, including the Check Engine Light, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), TPMS, and Collision Mitigation System. This has occurred multiple times and appears to be a well-documented issue among other Honda CR-V owners. To shop and they said it was the speed sensor got repaired and light so came back on. Took to the dealer and they diagnosed a faulty fuel injector system (Code P0172 – System Too Rich) and recommended a full injector replacement. This issue matches known cases addressed under Honda TSB 19-072, but is not currently covered under a full recall. The sudden illumination of all warning lights, combined with reduced power, is a serious safety concern as it may cause loss of control or delayed response in critical traffic situations. We have been quoted between $1,200 and $2,500 to repair this issue, which is a significant expense for a defect Honda is already aware of. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be fully covered by Honda, along with any related systems affected by this issue. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency investigate this widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 CR-V models and issue a recall. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards,

This supplements Complaint #11763145, filed 9/9/2026, regarding the same vehicle: 2019 Honda CR-V. On September 10, 2026 at approximately 7:33 PM, near CHOP Primary Care (High Point location), PA, the check engine light began flashing and the vehicle lost the ability to accelerate -- it could only slow down. I pulled over and restarted the engine, after which it drove normally. This is a repeat of the loss-of-acceleration incident described in the original complaint from September 8, 2026, which also involved a flashing check engine light and complete loss of acceleration while driving.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a recurring issue with my 2019 Honda CR-V 1.5T AWD EX in which numerous warning/error lights appear simultaneously on the dashboard. I previously brought the vehicle to Brookdale Honda, an authorized Honda dealership in Minnesota, specifically because multiple dashboard warning lights had appeared. The dealership scanned the vehicle and documented diagnostic trouble code P0172 ("Fuel System Too Rich"). An air/fuel test was performed, and the dealership diagnosed failing fuel injectors. Based on Honda's diagnosis and recommendation, I authorized replacement of the fuel injectors and spark plugs. The fuel injector repair alone was approximately $1,790. During the same service visit, Honda also performed the applicable fuel-pump safety recall repair. I relied on the authorized Honda dealership's diagnosis and understood that the problem responsible for the warning lights had been corrected. Unfortunately, the same concerning condition has now returned, with numerous warning lights again appearing on the dashboard. My vehicle has fewer than 100,000 miles and has consistently been serviced through authorized Honda dealerships. I am concerned that this recurring condition may indicate an underlying defect rather than normal maintenance. Having numerous vehicle-system warnings appear simultaneously is also concerning from a safety perspective because a driver may not be able to determine which warnings represent an immediate safety problem. I am asking the federal safety agency to document this complaint and evaluate whether other 2019 Honda CR-V 1.5T owners have reported similar occurrences involving multiple dashboard warnings, P0172/fuel-system conditions, or fuel injector failures. I can provide the original Honda diagnosis and repair invoices, proof of repair, and photographs showing the recurring dashboard warnings.

On March 13, 2026 the Honda CRV was being driven at approximately 65 mph when the check engine lights came on due to the low and high pressure fuel pumps failing simultaneously causing the CRV to slow suddenly to approximately 25 mph. The incident almost caused vehicles behind the CRV to collide with the rear of the CRV. The CRV was towed to a Honda dealership where it was diagnosed as the fuel pump issues. The fuel pumps were replaced and I paid the repair bill ($1,702.33). On March 21, 2026 the check engine lights came on again when the fuel injectors failed. The CRV was driven to the same Honda dealership where it was diagnosed as the fuel injector issue. The fuel injectors were replaced and Honda did not charge me for the repairs.

2019 Honda CR-V, VIN [XXX], approximately 82,000 miles. Since new, the vehicle has intermittently displayed a "Christmas tree" warning — most or all dashboard warning lights illuminate simultaneously — with no consistent trigger (not tied to weather, cold starts, road type, or time of day). Over approximately the last two months this has escalated from occasional to daily, sometimes twice daily. On XXX at approximately 9:00 AM, while driving on [XXX] near [XXX] heading toward [XXX], the check engine light began flashing and the vehicle lost the ability to accelerate — it could only slow down. I activated my hazard/turn signals and slowly pulled over. I shut the engine off; restarting it resolved the issue and the vehicle drove normally afterward. Both an independent mechanic and a Honda dealer have inspected the vehicle multiple times and pulled diagnostic codes, and neither has identified a definitive cause; the independent mechanic has stated repeatedly that this requires Honda's direct involvement. I first contacted Honda corporate about this recurring issue in 2022. the federal safety agency's VIN lookup shows no unrepaired recalls on this VIN as of XXX.
