Honda CR-V collision warning 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.

I had an incident recently that makes me think that there is a real issue with the collision avoidance system recognizing "unusual" objects. I was driving at night on a 75 mph dual lane highway. I had cruise control with collision avoidance engaged. A large truck had pulled onto the highway in front of me and was slow to accelerate. I assumed that my cruise control would immediately slow my vehicle down but it didn't! By the time I realized that it wasn't going to do that, I was a lot closer to the truck than I wanted to be. The truck was a "high off the ground" kind of rig and I wonder if the collision avoidance was literally looking under it. I agree that the driver is ultimately responsible for his vehicle but IMO it is scary if a warning system doesn't do its job. The official 2025 Honda CR-V owner's manual, in the section titled Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, lists several situations in which the system may fail to detect a vehicle correctly. Two of those limitations are especially relevant to my experience: - A vehicle ahead has an unusual shape. - The minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead is extremely high. Honda also warns that detection can be compromised when the speed difference between my vehicle and the vehicle ahead is very large. We were able to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front of us, but only because we noticed that we were rapidly closing on the vehicle in front of us.

[XXX] 12:38 AM (0 minutes ago) to me 2017 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, approximately 111,000 miles. While driving, my vehicle suddenly displayed multiple warnings and repeated beeping, including Hill Start Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Collision Mitigation System problems. The vehicle appeared to slow down and the brakes seemed to grab or engage unexpectedly, creating a risk of losing control or causing a collision with surrounding traffic. Startup stuttering has also occurred. The failed component is UNKNOWN. Possible causes include a malfunction in the ABS/VSA brake-control system, electronic parking brake, sensors, wiring, or electrical controls. A fuel-delivery or engine issue may explain the startup stuttering. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The problem has not been confirmed or reproduced by a dealer or repair facility to my knowledge. An auto-parts store tested the battery, starter, and alternator, which reportedly passed. Honda advised that my VIN is not covered by a fuel-pump recall. A manufacturer inspection specifically addressing the braking issue is UNKNOWN. No police or insurance inspection is known to have occurred. The warning messages appeared suddenly during the driving incident. The exact date was XXX going a speed of 60 and dropped down to 20 due to automatic braking, and road conditions were good, not wet or bumpy. The root cause according to Honda seems to be a fuel pump failure. I am reporting this incident because unexpected braking and multiple safety-system warnings may indicate a serious malfunction that could endanger me, my passengers, and other road users.

My car will stop when at red lights or stop signs. It’s like it dies. It also flashed 6 different problems at me: Emissions system problem, AWD system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem. This is so frustrating considering I just got this car, and there’s no recall, but I believe it’s the fuel pump. Please recall this. I can’t put so much money into this car.

The car continuously has issues with all alerts appearing on the dashboard. This deactivates safety features like lane departure assist, front collision mitigation, and cruise control. This is a known problem with this generation of CRV and the problem has become worse since Honda starting sending letters to customers about resetting their radar sensor.
