My 2019 Honda CR-V, which has the 1.5 liter turbo engine, with 78,000 started up with the dashboard lit up like a xmas tree and reported approx. a dozen faults of all safety features EPB, LKAS, Emissions, etc. It was diagnosed by Lester Glenn Honda in Wall, NJ with oil dilution caused by the leaky fuel injectors. The mechanic noted TDC P0172 - System Too Rich & P0301- cylinder 1 misfire and all fuel injectors failed A/F test. This vehicle had its fuel pump replaced earlier this year pursuant to the Honda recall for this (wondering if related). The same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not included for my 2019 model year even though it's the same 1.5L Turbo motor and there are numerous complaints from customers on the same exact issue. I was quoted over $2300 since it was past the warranty period (8k miles past the extended 7/70k emissions warranty that would have covered this 100%). Not only is this premature failure of critical engine component making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of powers, it produces a safety hazard of a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. This 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. I have not had it repaired yet as I asked the dealer to contact Honda Corporate and ask for a goodwill/good faith warranty.
2019 Honda CR-V fuel system complaints

My 2019 Honda CR-V EXL has all dash warning lights on, and the diagnostic code causing the issue is for fuel injectors. Upon my research this is a very, very common issue with this year model. It is an expensive one, at that. I was driving when all warning lights came on, and my car lost power in the middle of a busy highway and would not accelerate. The car sputtered and lost power and the warning lights all come on simultaneously. I could have had a wreck because of faulty manufacturer parts that because of the expense, Honda refuses to admit are the problem and replace for the safety of their customers. As for the fuel pump recall, every single time I call my local dealership, they tell me the fuel pump parts are on back order!! I just want the faulty manufacturer parts on my car that I pay for, FIXED.
On November 14, 2025 my 2019 Honda CR-V, which has 1.5 liter turbo engine, with 60,400 miles was diagnosed by Williamsburg Honda with oil dilution caused by the injectors. The mechanic wrote "engine is running rich, falied cyclinder A/F test in cylinder #2, random misfire detected in all cylinders...engine oil is fuel fouled due to failed fuel injector." On November 17, 2025, Williamsburg Honda replaced the injectors. On 3 February 2025, this vehicle had its fuel pump replaced pursuant to the federal safety agency 23V‑858.
Injector failure
All the dashboard warning lights came on. The car became shaky, wouldn’t go above 10mph. All safety features were turned off. I couldn’t go up a hill. Eventually I just parked it and had it towed. I tried a hard reset thinking maybe a glitch. Didn’t help.
I am reporting a severe safety defect involving the engine and fuel injector system that began two months ago at ≈108k miles (now 109k miles). I have not yet taken the vehicle in for service due to the estimated high repair cost of $2,900. It is critical to note that the same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not fixed for my 2019 model year. This indicates a persistent manufacturing or design flaw that warrants an immediate investigation into my model year. The defect manifests regularly, causing a Cylinder 2 Misfire (P0302) and making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of power. This creates a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. More dangerously, when the misfire occurs, the vehicle instantly disables critical driver assistance systems—Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keep Assist (LKAS)—without any advanced warning. This malfunction is an unreasonable safety risk: CRASH HAZARD: The unprompted power loss and concurrent disabling of safety features create an immediate, dangerous situation. FIRE HAZARD: The persistent misfire strongly suggests a failed or stuck-open fuel injector, which causes fuel dilution of the engine oil. This contamination can lead to engine failure or, critically, a fuel leak onto hot engine components that poses an extreme fire risk. I urge the federal safety agency to investigate why this defect persists and to mandate a comprehensive recall to protect the public from this ongoing, life-threatening safety risk. The failed component may be available for inspection upon request.
the vehicle took a long time to start, was shaking and all warning lamps were on the dashboard. I took it to a Honda dealer and the code was P0087 Fuel Rail pressure too low. There was a recall for the lower pressure fuel pump, so they replaced it, but they are also claiming that the high pressure fuel pump needs to be replaced and is not under a recall. I see there is a a recall for 2023-2025 models, but not my vehicle (2019). I will be stuck with a $2,000 repair.
•What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? oThe component that was identified as the issue was the fuel injectors had a leak, causing them to not get enough fuel. •How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? oI was told by the dealership that if not fixed, the leak would get bigger over time and could cause the engine to stall. I was told by the dealership that they were seeing more and more of these cases and had replaced the injectors on a year-old model the prior week to recommending the replacement for our vehicle. •Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? oI took the vehicle into our local Honda dealership to have them diagnose the cause. •Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? oUnknown •Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem before the failure, and when did they first appear? oThe car would flash various warning lights, not pointing to a single system. Then it would stop for a few days, only to pop up again a day later.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. While the contact’s husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost power and shut off. The driver inspected the vehicle and noticed that there was corrosion on the battery terminals. The battery was replaced by the husband. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the parts were on back order. Another dealer, Honda of Valley Stream (164 E Sunrise Hwy, Valley Stream, NY 11581); confirmed that because the parts were on back order, an appointment could not be scheduled. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure related to the recall. The failure mileage was unknown.
My car’s warning lights simultaneously come on. After a couple of weeks, they will go off and then once again come on. This has been happening for over a year now. Today I tried to drive and the car shook but would not accelerate. Once I turned it off and back on, the lights were still on but it did go forward. I have noticed many recalls for the Honda CRV but my VIN is not listed in the recall. It seems to me based on the other recalls, mine should be recalled as well. I have only 54,000 miles on my CRV.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The contact drove the vehicle to the shoulder of the road and performed an inspection of the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the hood was opened, and the contact noticed fuel spilling out of a detached fuel feed hose. The contact stated that it was a frightening feeling, and that the failure could have caused the vehicle to catch on fire. The contact patched and replaced the hose. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the fuel feed hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000.
To Whom It May Concern, While driving 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. The dealer 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,

I was traveling on the highway when suddenly my car started shuddering and slowing down. It was heavy traffic and difficult to navigate to the right shoulder, and my car was nearly hit by a semi-truck. The engine was misfiring and the engine light blinking yellow. I was able to turn off and restart my car and make it home. The mechanic initially thought the issue was old spark plugs and ignition coils. Replacing them didn’t help. I was again on a highway when the issue happened again. I brought the car to the dealership and they said the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. I spent over $2k to replace them on 7/7/25. The problem hasn’t happened since.
The fuel injectors on my 2019 CR-V need to be replaced at 68k miles. This is a known issue with recall. While fuel injectors are not "safety" items themselves - when there is a fuel injector issue (as has been reported here on this website and other websites a significant amount of times), numerous safety features of the CR-V are disabled by the issue directly related to the fuel injector issue. A listing of some of those safety related items that are disabled by the fuel injector problem are: - Adaptive Cruise control - Collision Mitigation - Road Departure Mitigation - Vehicle Stability Assist - Hill Start Assist - Electric Parking Brake - Tire Pressure Monitoring. Additionally, some CR-V's have reported being put in limp mode while on the highway, which very well could be a safety related issue; especially to younger and older drivers not used to a car suddenly going from 60MPH to 25MPH and they have to make split second decisions to safely pull over.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled, and the steering wheel became firm. Several unknown messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and the vehicle was towed to a local independent service center, where it was diagnosed and DTC: P0087 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low); a lack of fuel supply from the primary fuel pump and needing a fuel pump assembly replacement. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The local dealer was not contacted. In addition, the contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,228.
I took my car to Diamond Valley Honda in Hemet to do a recall service for the fuel pump. When I got home, I noticed there was a fuel leak underneath the car coming from under the fuel tank. I have videos of the fuel leak. This is very dangerous to drive. I am lucky that I got home safely. I called Diamond Valley Honda and informed them about the issue. They refused to do anything. What can I do?
When I went to turn on my car, on May 15, 2025, all my warning lights started flashing. It stated multiple system failures and my car started sputtering a bit. I attempted to drive it that way because I really needed to get to work. I was able to get to work but was driving very slow because I had my son with me. When school let out I started my car and all the system failure lights started flashing again. The car started sputtering and shaking again. When I went to leave my school’s parking lot I pressed on the gas pedal and my car barely moved. This happened on a busy street causing the cars behind me to brake quickly since I had no power to get out of their way. I thought I was going to get rear ended with my son in the backseat. I was able to get back into my school’s parking lot and shut off the car. I had to have the car towed to my nearest Honda dealer where it sat overnight since it was towed there right before closing. They diagnosed the vehicle as having a failed fuel injector spill gas into my oil tank and cause a complete mess in my engine. Spark plugs got burnt out as well. Turns out this is a recurring issue with 2019 Honda CRVs. This failure cost me a lot of money that has caused me financial difficulties. This problem needs to be addressed and all 2019 CRVs should be included in this recall. I’m so scared to drive my car but can’t afford to get another car. I should also get reimbursed for the cost of having the fuel injectors replaced. I’m terrified that I’ll get into an accident next time and that my son could possibly get hurt or die. Please help.

The fuel injectors are failing at 55 to 62k miles. The car experiences a loss of steering wheel functioning components related to the driver assist, and multiple warning lights appear on the dash for a period of a few days, then they suddenly disappear. There are slight hesitations in the automobile's acceleration, and this puts my family at risk during operation. The fuel pumps in the 2019 were replaced under recall but they failed to include the fuel rail and injectors and the pump we believe may have more pressure than the rail as and injectors were designed to handle and this shortens the life cycle of the part. The dealership diagnosed this problem and acknowledges that these same components have failed on other models and have settled lawsuits by extending the warranty periods to fix the injectors on certain less popular and lower sales volume models, but did not include the 2019 CRV and we think it is because that is a more popular model that would result in much more outgoing expense. his is putting many families at risk including my [XXX] daughter and her new born son. The dealership sells the injector and fuel rail parts that need to be fixed as a kit now due to previous and existing recalls in other Honda models but Honda consumer affairs has declined any warranty assistance to repair the 2019 CRV.

A fuel injector issue disables KEY safety features of our CR-V's when it occurs. (ex. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, TPS, Hill Start Assist, Braking, etc...) Check Engine light comes on. All warning lights are turned on randomly (Electronic brake system, TPMS, Hill Climb assist, etc) remain on for some time (a few minutes, hours, days), and then all of these warnings vanishes after some time and driving a few miles (this also varies, sometimes warning stays for multiple days. I don't know if the car is dangerous to drive or not with EVERYTHING flashing and beeping.

My 2019 honda crv has been in and out of shops since April 1st. On april 1st lights popped on on my dashboard the lights were break system lights. All wheel drive system lights, and then the lane keep assist adaptive cruise ect were on and not operational. I looked up what could cause that to happen and it stated rear differential fluid could pop lights on. I took it to the dealership and stated it felt like it was running funny but the lights all went off before I got there but if they could do the rear diff fluid and run diagnostic just to be safe that'd be great. Diagnostic found nothing wrong g with my vehicle. A few days later the same lights came on and then multiple other lights came on, my boyfriend stated it could be electrical maybe spark plugs so we bought them and replaced them. Restarted the car and drove it they went off but then came back on next morning. Next solution was maybe my battery has gone bad. Bought a new battery in hopes it'd work and no luck. We pull out our code reader and it pulls a code for cam shaft position sensors so we purchase those and replace them and still no luck. I finally take it to a repair shop since there's nothing else we can do on our own to fix the issue and the repair shop has a hard time trying to diagnose the issue. They ran codes and tests trying to figure this out they checked the mechanical side of things since the dealership only checked electrical side of things and found that my car had debris in the oil. They began researching and finding the hondas in my year and make and model with the 1.5 turbo engines have a class action lawsuit due to oil dilution and after more digging they found that I did indeed suffer from this and would need an engine replacement due to the damage that has been done and that would be around 10k. Honda knowing sold me a vehicle that could have an issue like this. I bought the car used and kept up on all maintenance and now am having my car repossessed because I cant afford the repa
