While shifting the vehicle into reverse the gear shift release button popped out. Thus not allowing me to put the vehicle back in park until putting the gear release button back into the gear shift handle. I noticed a spring had popped out of the great shift handle along with the shift release button.

The button on the gear shifter knob has broken off making it very difficult to switch from park to drive and back to park. This is a serious hazard if I am unable to put the car into park. Based upon online look-ups, this seems to be a frequent problem within the 2017 CR-V

I was driving down the road after leaving a movie. I probably wasn't going over 25 mph. Something flew into the floor, and I though my keys had slid into the floor. I came to a stop light and looked down. The knob to my gear shift and the spring had flown off the handle. I had to pull over and reach down and find the parts and try to press them into the gear shift so that I could put the car in park. I was in the city, but I live in a small town. I was going down a straight road.

My entire gear shifter assembly fell apart while I put in in park this morning. Now I cant drive it at all. It was stationary when this happened

My first scenario was a week ago I was stopped at a red light with no car in front of me. Once the light turned green I accelerated and just as I was about to pass the intersection my car gave a brake warning on my odometer screen and abrubty braked. There was no car in front of me nor a pedestrican other than a car that almost rear-ended me. There were clear road conditons. My second scenario I was driving on the highway when my car gave the same warning to brake with no cars for one hundred feet. My braked abruptly and sent me drifting at least ten feet forward. Im feeling extremely unsafe in my car at this point.

Shift knob button popped out yesterday, Saturday 9/28/19, while in stationary position shifting from park to drive. Had to keep my foot on the brake until I could locate the spring that popped out. Will have to carefully hold the button in place to shift and make sure it doesn't fall out while in motion until I can get to dealer to fix first thing Monday.

Shifter nod broke and snapped from my Honda CRV 2017 today. It's a new car and this is a defect safety hazard for any driver. I can see it's a very cheap plastic the way the nod is made of. I want to report to Honda so it's getting covered the repair.

Silver button on gear shifter popped out at some point while we were driving. Did not notice this happening until we went to park and shift gears. We were able to put the button back in and get it into part. Continues to fall out and we got stuck in the middle of the road trying to back into our driveway. One time the car would not register that the shifter was in park (even though display indicated P). And would beep when the vehicle was turned off. It's going into the dealership today for repair. Multiple other complaints found about this exact issue.

I have purchased 2017 model Honda new CRV ex-L with navigation in October 2017 in Tennessee. From the last 1 year I am having a major problem which is effecting my health and my family health. From almost 10 months, I have this problem. Problem: Whenever I switch on the ac or fan or heat, I have a very bad engine smell/ oil smell. I am unable to breath in the car, I have burning sensation in my eyes. I vomited couple of time because of this smell. My wife and my 5 year old son also feels the same. Its affecting their health as well. I have taken my car to odonell Honda service center located at 21043 three times and they just keep fooling me saying that there is no problem in the car and they cant do anything about it. They were useless, unprofessional people who does not know what to do. They behaved very bad as well. And always gave lame excuses. Then I took my car to Honda service center at owing mills, md. They were nice enough to check my car and they found two issues with the car and fixed it and promised that I will not have any issues. But with in a week I am having the same issues. I am helpless now.I cant drive my car because I cant breathe in that smell. Its affecting my health. I cant go again and again to dealer shop to get my car fixed. I am writing to you so that if you can help me before I take this matter to public and fight legally. If something happens to me or my family - who is responsible for that. Hoping for a response from you. Thanks in advance and appreciate your time looking into this.

I was accelerating onto a highway when the car suddenly lost acceleration and power, made a high pitched squeal with receipt of the following warnings/alarms: Brake system warning, loss of collision avoidance system, electric parking brake problem, road departure mitigation system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, hill assist problem, vehicle stability assist problem, power steering system problem, brake hold problem, emissions system problem to name a few. This is more than troublesome, the guy behind me almost hit me and had to swerve to avoid an accident. More recently I was driving on a highway at night when I lost my headlights and parking lights. In addition the following alarms locked in brake system warning, adaptive cruise control problem, lane keeping assist problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure system problem, auto high beam system problem. Its one thing to get warnings its another to loose your headlights and parking lights on a busy dark highway. I shudder to think what could have happened. Honda does not know what is happening. How can they sell a $30,000 + vehicle and have safety issues such as these? somebody needs to act quickly before folks are killed.

The touchscreen is horrible. Delayed response often when touching any of the features like audio, changing preset stations on the radio etc... freezes up often and the "brightness" feature would appear on the screen by itself and the only way to get ride of it is to turn the engine off and restart the engine. I have numerous videos of the issue. Complained to dealership even bought it in to have it looked at when the issue is happening so they can see it realtime and troubleshoot. Unfortunately they were not able to diagnose the issue the only resolution was to do a factory reset of the touchscreen. I am still having issues. The dealership recommend me to contact Honda directly to report issue. They can't replace the touch screen without Honda corporate office approving.

The vehicle's shift knob button came loose and fell out. At the time, I was parking the vehicle in a parking lot and attempting to shift it from drive to park. In addition to the button, a metal spring and many pieces of broken plastic fell out of the shift knob. Fortunately I was able to jam a screwdriver into the shift knob and shift the vehicle into park. The vehicle had just over 12,000 miles when this happened.

We had difficulty shifting our CRV into park on several occasions over a period of a couple of days. Eventually we were totally unable to get it into park, and thus could not get the key to the completely off position and remove it, so the battery would have been drained if we left it that way. Fortunately the final failure was in our own driveway. Quick research on the web pointed us to the problem many have had with the button on the side of the shifter that must be pressed to get in and out of park. Sure enough, we found the button was broken inside and not functional. The button and spring fell out as we inspected it. Though we're grateful it didn't pop off while we were driving, it seems clear this is a frequent failure that can create a dangerous situation. Seems like there should be an official recall.

Gear shift button fell off while shifting from P to D, rendering shifter unusable

- Pantego, TX, USA

2017 Honda CR-V ex. The shift knob button (which shifts the car out of park and into drive) broke off from its spring and it would not register the car being in park to shut off the electronics in the vehicle. I was forced to disconnect the negative from battery when the car is in park and reconnect when the it was time to drive somewhere. When I contacted my Honda dealer, they informed me of a recall for this issue. On a side not, my wife also has the same year, make and model which had a recall for the same issue.

The gearshift button broke and falls out when put in gear

**'17 Honda CR-V shift lever button (silver) broke off during drive!!** CR-V w/ around 26K miles had the silver button fall out while in motion on a city street on 7/13/2019. I wasn't accelerating or decelerating at the time, it just popped out. I was able to safely pull over and stop, but had a lot of trouble getting it shifted from drive to park. I had to push the loose spring and plastic button back into the shift lever and after 6 tries, was able to put it into park. Also, the car won't turn off and won't lock because the computer doesn't recognise that it is parked. The engine start/stop button keeps flashing red.
