problem #333

Dec 072019

CR-V

  • 40,000 miles
No problems with engine, until 40,000 miles. I always changed the oil at 3000 miles so it had no time to increase. Last week I took a 1200 mile trip, checked the oil when I got home, found it to be well over a quart above full. I called my Honda dealer and set an appointment for the 23rd of December.

CR-V 4-cyl

  • 60,135 miles
The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that the rear hatch would not open and the engine was difficult to start. Later, while driving approximately 70 mph, the forward collision avoidance system erroneously activated and caused the vehicle to abruptly stop. The vehicle was taken to flow Honda of burlington (2920 S. church St, burlington, nc) where it was diagnosed that the battery was faulty and the automatic braking system required an update. The battery was replaced and the update was performed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,135. The consumer stated the brake warning indicator occasionally illuminates.

CR-V

  • 26,000 miles
Gas gets in the oil, gas fumes go into the car itself and make us dizzy while driving (not safe). Car sputters (not safe) and heater does not get warm enough to keep the windshield clear in cold weather reducing viability and creating a safety issue. It takes 15 minutes of driving for car to warm up, I don't know how to see out of the windshield for the first 15 minutes. I'm aware this is a known issue with my model, I would like Honda to do a recall and really actually fix it. Dealer says there is no fix at this time. The service campaign isn't working. I'm reading that the 2019 were supposedly fixed with the same service campaign and it's not working.

CR-V

  • 60,900 miles
On 10/16/2019, dealer replaced all of the fuel injectors, because they failed Honda's tests. Picked up the vehicle on the evening of 10/16/2019 and drove it home. Started driving it to work on 10/17/2019 and while accelerating on the interestate, the engine started misfiring (violent thuds) and the check engine light started flashing repeatedly. I lost power and was able to make it to the side of the road. As soon as the vehicle was stopped, I placed the vehicle in park and then the check engine light no longer blinked or illuminated. Had the vehicle towed to the Honda dealership. Vehicle did not misfire prior to the repairs made by Honda. Attached is the fuel injector repairs invoice. I also had all required maintenance as indicated in the Honda service manual. Vehicle has approximately 61000 miles.

CR-V

  • 43,000 miles
When I go to Honda dealership, they tell me I have no recalls on my car, although im reading everywhere else, and im getting notices in the mail on a few of them. I feel like im being lied to about my car and im afraid that my car is going to fall apart the longer I keep it. I would like to see if I can get someone to advocate for me on the issies that I am having with the Honda dealership/corporation. I was on my way home from work three days ago, and I could not get my car to shift into reverse, I released the shift button and it popped out onto my floorboard. Honda now says they will not cover the full cost of repair. My recall that I was supposed to have done about my motor leaking gas into the oil was never repaired and they are telling me that even though I got the notice in the mail, my vehicle shows does not need repaired. Please help me. I have never felt so helpless and they tell me I was never sent a recall notice, when I have it in my hand.

problem #320

CR-V

  • 3,000 miles
The oil level has consistently increased after every oil change, and has had the smell of gasoline, even within 1200 miles. I have brought this to the attention of Honda on three separate occasions, but the dealership refuses to acknowledge the problem since I live in a warm climate area, and they insist, in the face of clear evidence, that only cold climates have the problem. 1,168 miles after an oil and filter change, I smelled gas from the dipstick, so I sent the oil in for analysis. The report came back with critical (>5%) dilution. This is a safety issue, as many people may not know that their engines may sieze, or just stop running, due to lack of lubrication.

I was driving my Honda CR-V on a city street all off sudden the low tire pressure and brake system failure came on and the car just stalled and won't start. Once I got off the car, the locked and I couldn't unlock the door anymore. I towed it home as the dealership was closed for the day. Now the lights come on and the dash lights up and I can't turn it off.

problem #318

Aug 282019

CR-V

  • 49,787 miles
Emissions issue detected, then eventual error codes diagnosed as P0172 and P291F. Replaced fuel injectors and high pressure pipe under service bulletins 10=8-025, 18-027, and 19-015. This is a common issue that should be addressed through a redesign and recall. Failure of this component could cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, causing a safety issue.

problem #317

CR-V

  • 24,000 miles
Engine oil level on dipstick way above what it should be and there is a strong gasoline smell in the engine oil. The Honda maintenance minder says 70% engine oil life is left. Also the seat heaters don't seem to work. Based on what I read online this seems to be somehow linked with the engine oil dilution issue

CR-V

  • 39,950 miles
I have read that there are problems with Honda's 1.5 liter turbo earthdreams engine related to gasoline in the engine oil. I check my engine oil dipstick today and discovered there is indeed gasoline in it (per smelling it). I have filed a case with Honda, but since they don't have a fix for this yet, I am worried that having gas in the engine oil is going to cause severe damage to the engine. I have asked Honda what they intend to do to remedy this problem, but have not received a response as of yet. I had an oil change approximately 2,000 miles ago. There is about 39,950 miles on the car. I have not yet noticed any major problems with the engine, but it does not seem to have the power it did when I first purchased it. Thank you.
