2017 Honda CR V- Hybrid All warning lights on the dashboard-?"including the Check Engine Light, Oil Pressure Warning, Battery Warning Light, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light, Brake System Warning, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Light, Fuel Level Warning Light, and Engine Temperature Warning Light-?"activated intermittently. This issue intermittently occurred each time the vehicle was started, with symptoms lasting from a few days up to several weeks. The warning lights would temporarily resolve, with periods lasting from a few days to several months. The vehicle's battery was replaced twice within one year, which seemed to temporarily alleviate the issue; however, the warning lights recurred afterward. Recently, Honda conducted a thorough diagnosis and identified the root cause, leading to the replacement of the spark plugs and fuel injectors at an approximate cost of $2,000. If unaddressed, this issue could pose safety risks such as rough idling, decreased fuel efficiency, engine misfires, difficulty starting, poor acceleration, unexpected stalling, complete loss of power, and electrical problems. This issue is recognized by Honda and is currently covered under a recall for the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot and the 2023-2025 Honda Accord Hybrid. While the Honda Accord Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid share the same fuel injection system as part of Honda-??s two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain, the Honda CR-V Hybrid has not yet been included in this recall. Nonetheless, many Honda CR-V Hybrid owners are experiencing similar issues and are incurring repair costs out of pocket. Honda, please consider including our Honda CR-V Hybrid in your recall for your fuel injection system issue.

A 2017 CR-V entering limp mode and showing all dashboard alerts. I brought it up to Honda America and open case #15734548 to complained about fuel injector recall. After reading the codes at local Honda dealership Chandler, Arizona and repaired cylinder misfire issues. Two days later again started showing all warning lights. I request local Honda dealer to diagnosis further. After discussion with dealer and started reading countless posts regarding bad fuel injectors on different models. I too see Honda recalls for fuel injectors and my VIN is not in recall list. Its well maintained and only 73k miles on this 2017 CRV. They wouldn-??t normal maintenance issue and its a design or manufacturing flaw. I am requesting that Honda cover the full cost of the necessary repairs and more move its several safety recalls due to bad fuel injector design or so. Should be included in recalls.

I am writing to formally express my extreme dissatisfaction with the randomly vanishing dashboard, all sorts of warning lights and its recurring issues. I see a recall for 2017 CRV for Fuel injector. I don't see my VIN for fuel injector recalls and most likely my CRV issue with fuel injector. Fuel injector replacement is a major repair. I. I scheduled an appointment with AutoNation Honda Chandler, AZ, to troubleshoot an issue. I believe these issues may stem from a design or manufacturing flaw. I am requesting that Honda cover the full cost of the necessary repairs.

My 2017 Honda CR-V experienced premature and sudden fuel injector failure that I believe is part of a widespread defect affecting 2017-?"2019 CR-V models. In April, multiple warning lights came on several times (-??10-point-?? dashboard lights). I went to different mechanics, and one recommended a brake fluid flush, which I completed. The warnings continued. Later, while driving, I heard a sudden, harsh crunching sound from the engine area. I immediately pulled over out of concern for safety. The vehicle still moved but did not feel safe to drive, so I cautiously limped it home and canceled clients. I took the vehicle to South Point Honda in Durham, NC. Their diagnosis confirmed that all four fuel injectors had failed, and they quoted $1,679.99. I then had the repair completed at a Honda/Acura specialty shop for $1,273.12. Fuel injectors are not a regular maintenance item, and many other CR-V owners have reported the same problem. These injector failures can cause misfires, loss of power, or engine damage while driving, which is a safety concern. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate premature injector failure in 2017-?"2019 Honda CR-V models.

Fuel smell when vehicle is parked overnight. The smell is inside the cabin especially stronger near the rear left passenger door where the filler fuel is located. This has been happening even in summer temperatures, not just cold weather like some people have mentioned in forums or online.

UNEXPECTED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. 2017 Honda CR-V. Twice while highway driving with autopilot on, system failed to slow it when approaching other vehicles and it sped up instead. When I pumped the brakes, it went away. I TOOK IT OFF AUTOPILOT HENCEFORTH. Several days later, coming out of a market parking lot and approaching a stop sign, the accelerator went down and sped me forward with brakes doing barely anything. I shot into a CVS parking lot, managed to stop it and turn the engine off. It's sitting in a garage now and no one knows what to do and I am terrified to drive it. Could have killed me or others around me. IT WAS NOT THE FLOOR MAT NOR ANYTHING I DID.

This complaint is in regards to three engine failures for my vehicle. I purchased the vehicle in October of 2017. In October 2020 this vehicle suffered a malfunction of the fuel injector systems. Warning lights were enabled prior to losing full power of the vehicle at this time and it was brought in for repair. In June 2025, my vehicle began losing power while actively driving resulting in the car and myself being put in potentially dangerous conditions on the road. The car would fail to accelerate and move. The car had to be coasted back to an area of safety. There were no warning lights prior to this happening. Warning lights came on hours later after attempting to address the issue. At that time in June 2025, my car was found to have a blown head gasket from an unknown cause per the dealership. I was without a car for approximately 3 weeks which was devastating for my family and caused hardship. As well as a financial burden from the costly repairs. In September 2025, my car again lost power and was required to be towed to the dealership. At this time I was told again that the fuel injectors needed replaced due to failure. Warning lights did not display prior to the power failure, they displayed after the fact as we attempted to find a cause at the scene. This was a sudden power failure that could have been potentially dangerous.

The high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump malfunctioned and no, it is not available for inspection upon request. The car all of a sudden got stalling while running at 45 mph and got jerking continuously. After the incident, the car was taken to a dealer for a diagnosis and the dealer inspected that the high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump got malfunctioned. There were NO warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure and they first appeared when the incident occured.

To Whom It May Concern, I am reporting a serious safety concern with my 2017 Honda CR-V related to the fuel/propulsion system. While driving, the vehicle will suddenly stop accelerating. At the same time, multiple warning messages appear on the dash, including alerts that the driver assist system, cruise control, and brake system are not functioning, along with other system warnings. This issue happens without warning and has occurred multiple times. It creates a dangerous situation, especially at highway speeds or in traffic, since the vehicle loses the ability to accelerate and several critical safety systems appear disabled. I am very concerned that this may be a defect in the fuel/propulsion system or an associated electrical/control system that could pose a risk to myself, my passengers, and other drivers. Please advise on the next steps for inspection and resolution.

My cruise control will not work. Lane departure is not working. All my lights are on in my new vehicle I just purchased. BAD FUEL INJECTORS seem to be the problem. Honda should recall these bad fuel injectors before a serious accident occurs.

Numerous times over the life of the car all dash warning systems and lights activate while you are driving. Sometimes they persist after restarting engine. Numerous visits to dealer to address and finally they stated that fuel injectors need replaced. Searching this issue online seems to indicate this is a common event with 2017-18 CRVs like mine. I contacted Honda and they stated that there is no recall or warranty extension for an issue like this. The car is not safe to drive with all the alarms staying active. This started taking place in 2018 with only 30K miles and would happen rarely. But started to happen monthly in 2024 until I replaced the fuel injectors last September.

Cylinder 2 and Cylinder 3 misfire code, rough idling, loss of power Specific problems: Rough idling: The engine may feel shaky or unstable when the vehicle is stopped or idling, often due to incomplete combustion in one or more cylinders Hesitation or lack of power: You may notice your CR-V hesitating or losing power during acceleration, or a general reduction in performance, making it feel sluggish or difficult to drive Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly, especially at low speeds or when stopped, as a result of misfires disrupting normal engine operation Check Engine Light: The check engine light may come on or begin flashing, indicating that the vehicle-??s onboard diagnostics have detected repeated misfires Vibration or shaking: You might feel abnormal vibrations through the steering wheel, seat, or floor, especially while idling Unusual noises: Listen for popping, sputtering, or knocking sounds from the engine, which can indicate incomplete combustion or irregular firing Poor acceleration or loss of power: You might notice reduced engine responsiveness, sluggish acceleration, or the inability to reach higher speeds easily Erratic RPM needle: The tachometer may fluctuate unpredictably due to inconsistent engine speed and combustion Smoke from the exhaust: Excessively rich mixtures from leaking injectors can result in black smoke coming from the exhaust pipe Difficulty starting or no start: The engine may struggle to start or fail to start if enough fuel isn-??t being delivered to one or more cylinders

All lights shows up on my cars dashboard and at first start it shake with vibration for 2 minutes then it stables even though on the highway when I try to accelerate it doesn-??t go smoothly last time I have the same issue and paragon fixed it by changing alternator and reset by computer but still I am facing the same problem. They are always going through the temporary solution by resetting code sometimes changing battery or recommended some other parts although they never take seriously about my head gasket problem and because of that causes misfire. I need the permanent solution. It-??s very frustrating for me to face that problem everyday.

All the dashboard warning lights come on. They will turn off at short intervals, but then come back on. I took the car to the dealer in 2024 and they diagnosed it as rear tire sensor problem. Paid over $800 to have this replaced and all the dashboard warning lights came back on the next day. Went back to the dealer and they then diagnosed it as bad fuel injector and quoted repair at over $1,200. We did not have the injector replaced as they could not guarantee fixing the fuel injector would turn the lights off as this seems to be a common reported problem in 2017 Honda CRVs. Over the past year the dashboard warning lights would come on and off at random intervals. Over the past two months, along with all warning lights remaining on, the car has now started to stall within the first 5 minutes of driving it. Due to the stalling, we took the car to an independent mechanic who followed the Honda service bulletin and did a full tune up on the car but all dashboard warning lights remain on and the car continues to stall at times.
