2016 Honda HR-V: engine stalls while driving

Filed Feb 29, 2024 · Fuel system · AL

Our 2016 Honda HR-V experienced a significant issue when the fuel pump unexpectedly failed, causing the car to stall while driving uphill over an overpass. Thankfully, this incident occurred in town. It could have happened while driving on the interstate, which would have posed a severe safety risk to our family. We promptly had the Honda HR-V towed to our local Honda dealership for diagnosis and repair, where we were presented with a bill totaling over $900, including sales tax, for replacing the fuel pump. Upon further reflection, I am concerned as to why this fuel pump failure was not included in any recalls or notifications. I am aware that certain fuel pumps in other Honda HR-Vs and models have been subject to recalls due to similar issues, and I am concerned as to why the fuel pump in this 2016 HR-V was not addressed proactively. There were no warning signs, no warning signals, and no warning symptoms before the fuel pump failure.

July 11, 2023, 2016 HR-V stalled in the middle of the freeway at night, upon every restart the HRV will only engage Drive into 1st gear and disengage when it is attempting to switch to higher, most if not all dash warning lights turned on - only at this point, no prior notices/warnings when this happened, then almost got rammed by oncoming traffic multiple times. We had to have the car crawl forward 5 seconds at a time to reach a safe area out the next exit. We had the 2016 HR-V towed to the nearest Honda Center. Need HELP getting this fixed, and inform the public about the danger it can cause, I called (7/12/23) American Honda, and they said over the phone that they took care of it during a 2021 CVT reprogramming, American Honda have data that software reprogramming was applied per my conversation with an agent, Honda service tech reports of metal shavings present inside transmission and it needs get a new transmission. The reprogramming was not enough, I really doubt that the recall diagnosis and intervention was applied correctly. It is the second day in the Honda Center and the service tech requested for another day to research the matter, they were leaning to the idea that we are out of warranty and wants to have us pay for a replacement transmission. The CVT recall was supposed to cover 7 years/150000 miles, which ever comes first. we just reached 7 years/120000 and they are leaning towards denying us of the warranty service, clearly the transmission was faulty and Honda's initial fix was inefficient and downright dangerously criminal. I have never seen my wife so scared in my life, and she has a heart condition. We promoted this HRV since we liked it, even had a friend and an aunt buy them, We do not wish to have loved ones experience the risks and unsafe nature of the Honda HR-V.

8/1/2020: at 65 MPH the engine started vibrating, when accelerated to 75mph engine stalls, RPM rapidly increased to ~5000 and collapsed. Lost forward momentum and output from the engine. Multiple dash lights came on (power steering, tire pressure warning, break system lights, traction control light, check engine lights etc. Came on). Vehicle was on the active lane, put in neutral and steered to the shoulder. Unable to get the car moving again after turning off and on. Afraid that I was going to lose AC in the 108f heat if the vehicle does not turn on again so I left it at that until the tow truck arrives.the car had to be left overnight because dealership close sunday. 8/2/2020: the next day I received a voicemail from superstition honda regarding the vehicle's diagnosis. Was informed that the diagnosis code observed was related to the ignition start push button that needed replacing. I gave consent to the service to replace the ignition button. 8/3/2020: after I went to superstition honda to pick up the car. I then proceeded to take the car onto highway 60 and got up to the stated speed limit of 65 MPH when the same symptoms appeared. Vehicle stalled at speed, RPM rapidly increased to ~5000 before collapsing. I was in an extremely dangerous situation because there was no shoulder at the area where I came to a stop on the highway, therefore I was stationary partially in the active lane.there was no warning lights that gave any indication there was a problem with the car. The catastrophic failure happened out of no where. After returning to superstition honda, I left the vehicle on and had it diagnose before turning the car off. Was eventually informed that there are multiple metal fragments in the transmission fluid, and that the metal fragments also damaged a pressure sensor in the transmission system. The transmission will need to be replaced.
