When driving my car I cannot go over 2000 RPMs without my dashboard, lighting up with the check engine light flashing, making an abrasive lurching motion. I have to pull over safely which can be difficult when I’m on the highway and with my [XXX] in the backseat.

The latest incident that’s causing me to call happened yesterday XXX The vehicle was driving at approximately 55 miles an hour when the engine misfired and the check engine light flashed and the vehicle to made an aggressive bucking motion where I had to pull over.

While I was driving my kids home my 2021 Honda CRV had every warning light turn on my dash and the car started jerking and braking and nearly caused me to get in accident with my [XXX] and [XXX] in the car. My husband took the car into the shop and the shop said it was the fuel pumps. They are trying to charge us over 1000 for something that is a Honda issue. Many Honda cars have had this issue and there should have been a recall for this. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
[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 federal safety agency SAFETY COMPLAINT SUMMARY Vehicle Identification: 2021 Honda CR-V Touring (1.5L Turbo) Current Mileage: 91,259 miles Failed Component: High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) & Associated High-Pressure Fuel System Diagnostic Trouble Codes: â P0087â (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low) Technician Diagnostic Findings & Symptoms: Vehicle experienced sudden loss of power, erratically low fuel pressure under load, hard starting, and multiple dash warning lights. Independent repair shop technician confirmed the High-Pressure Fuel Pump was internally failing and dropping fuel pressure under load. The failing pump caused low fuel pressure readings at the fuel rail, resulting in severe engine power loss while driving. Total Repair Estimate Amount: $3,222.65 HPFP Assembly Replacement: $1,453.78 Fuel Pressure Rail Replacement: $1,193.80 Spark Plugs Replacement: $318.00 Engine Oil/Filter Change: $69.65 Safety Hazard Narrative: The internal mechanical failure of the high-pressure fuel pump causes a sudden loss of engine power and hesitation during vehicle acceleration, posing a severe traffic hazard and risk of rear-end collision when merging onto highways. Furthermore, internal HPFP failures on Honda 1.5L direct-injection engines can result in fuel dilution into the engine crankcase, risking major engine damage.
2017 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, 1.5L turbo. Vehicle has experienced persistent rough running/idle, random misfires, and hesitation/jerking during acceleration. Genuine Honda OEM fuel injectors were replaced and the system was recalibrated, but the symptoms have persisted. Spark plugs have also previously been replaced. I became aware of the federal safety agency Recall 23V‑858 involving fuel pump impeller failure in certain 2017–2022 Honda CR-V vehicles. Honda’s VIN-specific recall lookup currently shows no active recall for my vehicle. I am concerned that my vehicle may be experiencing a fuel-delivery problem similar to the condition addressed by Recall 23V‑858 despite my VIN not being included in the recall population. The fuel pump has not yet been confirmed as the cause. I am submitting this complaint so the symptoms and VIN are documented and can be considered in determining whether vehicles outside the current recall population may experience a similar defect.
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.
