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.

Was drive down a 3 lane road when all kinds of error message/lighs/indicators lit up the dash board. Eventually the vehicle lost power (No go power) and I ended up coasting to a very slow speed. I then tried to get out of the lane with my emergence lights flashing by turning left to try and get off the road at an intersection. Another vehicle then crashed into me causing serious damage but no injuries. NOT GOOD.

I am filing this complaint regarding a recurring and dangerous loss of engine power in my 2020 Honda CR-V, currently at approximately 80,000 miles. For an extended period, my vehicle has repeatedly experienced multiple dashboard warning lights illuminating simultaneously, followed by severe loss of acceleration. During these episodes, the vehicle enters a reduced-power state and can only travel approximately 10 mph. This creates a serious safety hazard, especially on highways and in heavy traffic, where sudden loss of acceleration could cause a collision. I have taken my vehicle to independent mechanics numerous times for these same issues, but the problem has never been permanently resolved. During one evaluation, a mechanic identified engine-related diagnostic information and showed me Honda Technical Service Bulletin 18-025, concerning misfires and air-fuel imbalance. I subsequently brought my vehicle to Atlantic Honda in [XXX], where their technician diagnosed faulty fuel injectors and quoted $1,800 for replacement. Both Atlantic Honda and Honda Corporate denied warranty or goodwill assistance, stating that my vehicle exceeded the 70,000-mile eligibility limit by approximately 10,000 miles. On XXX, my vehicle again experienced severe power loss in [XXX], limiting acceleration to approximately 10 mph. I was unable to safely continue driving and had to leave my vehicle in [XXX], where it now requires towing. This is not an isolated incident but a recurring problem that has persisted despite multiple visits to mechanics. I am concerned that faulty fuel injectors may represent a broader safety defect affecting other 2020 Honda CR-V vehicles. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency investigate these repeated failures and determine whether additional vehicles should be included in any applicable safety recall or corrective action.

I am reporting a potential safety defect involving the transmission housing of my 2015 Honda CR-V. The transmission housing has been diagnosed as porous, allowing transmission fluid to leak through the housing itself. This is not ordinary maintenance or normal wear; the transmission casing is allowing fluid to escape because of an apparent defect in the housing material. The vehicle has approximately 115,158 miles. The condition was diagnosed by a Honda dealership, JL Freed & Sons, and I was advised that the transmission housing is porous and that the transmission requires significant repair/replacement at an estimated cost of approximately $5,900. I believe this condition presents a potential safety hazard because a continuing transmission-fluid leak can result in loss of a critical vehicle fluid while the vehicle is being operated. If the leak worsens or results in a substantial loss of transmission fluid, it could affect transmission operation, potentially causing unexpected loss of power or the vehicle to become unable to move as intended. Leaked fluid may also reach the roadway and create a hazard for the vehicle and other motorists. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate whether the porous transmission housing constitutes a safety-related defect affecting 2015 Honda CR-V vehicles and whether other owners may be experiencing the same condition. I can provide the dealership diagnosis, repair estimate, photographs of the affected transmission housing/leak, invoices, and other documentation upon request.
