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.

2017 Honda CR-V with 132118 miles has intermittently been experiencing all dash display alarms activating at the same time for past 25k miles. (ie) hill start assist, brake system problem, power steering system problem, vehicle stability assist problem, etc... This also disabled the lane keep assist and cruise control features on the car. Dealership ran diagnostic and found code P0172 indicating fuel system too rich and confirmed with a failed air/fuel ratio test. This indicated the car needs complete fuel injector replacement.

The vehicle's all safety warning lights are turning on. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealer for diagnostic testing, who reported that it requires new fuel injectors at a cost of $1,700. In researching the issue, it appears that this is an ongoing problem with multiple 2017 and 2018 Honda CRVs.

Fuel injectors have failed on this car 2x before it has hit 120k miles. First was at 50k ish. Honda will not acknowledge this as an issue, even though it is an extremely common issue with all of the 1.5L engines on civics, accords and their other cars in this engine type. My mechanic has checked the service records and the most common issue with these cars, and this is a super common issue, always requiring fuel injectors to repair it. Car idles very very badly when started, and should not be having all of these issues on a well-maintained 8 year old car. It causes a check engine light to appear and an -??emissions system issue-?? warning to appear on the car. It-??s only been 3/4 years with the 2nd set of injectors (which were replaced under my optional extended warranty on the car, purchased through Honda). But I was not warned that this was a common issue until going to an independent service technician when my check engine light came on. I

I started vehicle and all warning lights on dash popped up and began scrolling through/flashing. As a vehicle owner, I was startled as it was unsettling to see all the warnings pop up. It appeared every safety feature/component on the vehicle was compromised. I immediately contacted the local Honda dealership as they suggested diagnostics were needed. Dealership invoice states "Diagnose check engine light - pull codes, diagnose to failure". Dealership invoice further states "Tech Verified Concern. Tech scanned system for codes and found code P0301 stored for misfire cylinder. Tech ran air fuel test and failures came back on Cylinders 1 and 3. Tech diagnosed to failing injectors, recommend replacing". After doing some research, it appears this particular vehicle has a history with similar problems. I have a product update letter from December 2018 which refers to the P0301 code. In addition, I have a Warranty Extension letter dated July 2019, which refers to the same issue and the P0301 code. The letter states that to ensure confidence in the product, the powertrain warranty was extended from the original 5 year/60,000 miles to 6 years with unlimited mileage from the original sale date. Unfortunately, my vehicle is a 2017, so although I qualify under the mileage I do not qualify under the 6 year time frame. The current mileage on my vehicle is 56,000 miles.

Failed fuel injectors. This is a common issue in many 2017-18 CRVs with numerous complaints. This is a safety risk as it has caused a forced shutdown of numerous safety features including: all anti-collision systems, lane departure sensing, traction control, etc The problem has been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others" Yes Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear"

My 2017 CR-V (~$80k miles) will randomly fire every system or warning alert on the dashboard. This includes vital or important alerts like Brakes, Check engine light, Tire pressure, etc. There has been no way to reset it, and it persists through car restarts, system reboots, and driving. The first time this happened was [XXX], and I was able to reset it. However, it has returned a month and a half later ([XXX]) and there has been no remedy or reset that has worked. This issue is extremely dangerous, as it completely mitigates the safety features put in place for this vehicle. With all of the system warnings misfiring and no way to reset or check which are legitimate versus a complication, I am putting myself and others at risk if I drive. I will not know if there is a true issue with a tire, my engine, my brakes... I need my car but am wary of driving it now to keep myself and others safe. It also makes some features inaccessible (i.e., cruise control). I conducted further research prior to taking it to the dealership to better understand the potential cause and what could be done. After conducting that research, it seems this is a VERY common and fairly well-known issue. I have linked one of several forums demonstrating the scope of this issue. Example forum: [XXX] The system misfires are being diagnosed as issues with the fuel injectors, and owners are getting told to replace those fuel injectors to remedy the issue (cost of which equals around $1,400-2,200). Few also report that following installation of new fuel injectors, the issue has come back. Not everyone has ~$2k to fix an issue that is so common it should have already been addressed by Honda.
