My car does lag when I'm driving on the highway. I need a letter emailed or sent by mail showing that the part is being ordered for my car so I can forward with my loan. The company will not go forward with my loan. I need the part fixed ASAP or a letter showing that the part is getting delivered.

The car smelled of gas. The mechanic said the computer indicated that the fuel mixture was too rich. Upon inspection he found my oil even smelled of gas. He felt the car was unsafe to drive and at high risk of fire. The fuel injectors do not function properly. IDK how many complaints you have received but once I experienced it I found many reports of similar nature online so before something really bad happens hope it can be reviewed.

Sudden unexpected acceleration. Multiple occurences during same outing, almost caused me to have an accident. had to HARD break while engine continued to surge. Had vehicle towed to Honda Dealer. They said No Code set and couldn't duplicate condition. They kept vehicle 2 weeks and drove multiple times but couldn't duplicate problem. Since no code set, nothing fixed. Do not believe any diagnosis on components were done. My opinion.

Se me ha apagado varias veces al arrancar cuando me voy al trabajo. Y tengo que volverlo a encender. Siento el motor débil. El cuerpo electrónico del acelerador no anda bien. Cuando quiero acelerar rápido se me queda en stand by y hasta los 3 segundos responde el motor. Cuando estoy en un stop aplicando el freno se escucha el motor como que se quiere apagar y empieza a temblar la camioneta. A veces el motor está acelerado a 1000 rpm con el freno aplicado y a los 3 o 5 segundos ya baja a 0 rpm. En Braman Honda Miami me dicen que no tienen las piezas aún y me puedo accidentar si se me apaga el motor en carretera me pueden chocar por detrás y provocar un gran accidente. Necesito URGENTE que la reparen.

Manufacturer Recall NumberKGC NHTSA Recall Number 23V-858 I have been trying desperately to get my car serviced to address the safety recall, and many car dealerships are hanging up on me when I try to schedule appointments. My car has been stalling while driving as a result of this recall issue. Please help as I now fear for my safety driving my vehicle since Honda locations are not helping me resolve this issue.

I have not experienced a problem with my vehicle yet, but your website says, -??If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA-??. I am just writing to let you know that I called the dealer, and they told me they do not have a remedy for the problem yet. I am now concerned that I could have a problem but have no way to resolve the issue. I have to travel shortly after Christmas and will just have to pray that nothing happens.

ALL malfunction indicator lights would go on at the same time intermittently. This caused safety systems to stop working and was a SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE for my family. Diagnostics at my local Honda dealer diagnosed code P0303 Cylinder Misfire/Leaking Injectors. This has been a common problem amongst various 2016-2019 Honda vehicles, and some of them have had extended warrranty coverage by Honda, however, not my 2018 CRV. The fuel injectors needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,621.18. This was a known problem at Honda, and my vehicle should have been covered with an extended warranty. Fuel injectors should not have to be replaced so early in the life cycle ( and relatively low mileage ) of a vehicle driven with care.

All warning dash lights intermittently appear and then turn off sometimes within hours, and sometimes days later. This issue has been occurring for the past two years. The first diagnosis was the battery which was replaced a year and a half ago. This issue represented again a few months after the battery was replaced and has started to happen more frequently over the past few months. I took my vehicle in to be inspected, and was told a misfire code was showing up for the fuel injectors. My vehicle is only 5 years old and this issue started when it was only 3 years old. Fuel injectors should last longer than 5 years and certainly longer than 3 years. I am aware of other CRV-??s receiving an extended warranty on fuel injectors, and I have read of several other customers having the same issue with fuel injectors being the diagnosis. It seems that this issue should be considered a recall, as the safety features do not operate when these warning lights pop up.

I have owned the car for 58 months and now there is "Emissions System Error" which is related to canister purge valve malfunction (P0441). This consumes more fuel and failing emissions standards.

Fuel injectors. This causes electronic safety system to go haywire telling me they have malfuctioned. Evidently this is caused by the fuel injectors going bad. This puts the safety of me and my family at risk. All these failures can cause an accident. Research shows Honda Knows this and has discontinued the fuel injectors because they are faulty leaving owners without any resolution. They have no timeframe to resolve this. Could be months with owners not knowing how to proceed. therefore should not Honda be forced to buy back the curve just like Volkswagen did a few years back. Tired of car manufacturers putting the publics safety at fault because they put profits ahead of safety. I did my due diligence in researching this. Dealership in no help as their hands are tied because of Honda corporations failure.

2018 Honda CR-V EX Shortly after purchasing my Honda CR-V in Feb 2018, I noticed a strong smell of gas when I changed the oil. I found a recall bulletin regarding fuel mixing with oil and worked with Honda to have a software update (Case #*******) in late 2018. Afterwards, the vehicle performed normally and has for a few years. Approximately 12 months ago every light on the instrumentation panel came on (Vehicle Stability, Adaptive Cruise Control, Tire Pressure monitoring, Collision avoidance, Lane Keep assist, etc) I used a code reader and found that the only hard code was P0172 -??Fuel System Too Rich-??. I reset the code and it came back the following day. I reset the code again and it came back 2 months later. Since then, the exact same code has shown up at least 6 times. It always occurs while the engine is running and I am idling, not when driving. Sometimes the dash warning lights clear automatically after a few days and sometimes I have to manually reset the P0172 code with a OBD tool. I have replaced the battery to ensure it wasn-??t a low voltage issue, but it continues. While the code is set and all of the warning lights are present on the dash, none of the vehicle safety features work. Collision avoidance, Lane Keep assist, Adaptive Cruise Control. I do have an appointment scheduled with my local Honda Service Center for Oct. 2. Reading through TSBs and Customer complaints, I find hundreds of examples of this exact issue. I am concerned I will be billed $2K for a known issue with the fuel system in this vehicle. I recently purchased a 2023 Ridgeline and plan to give the CR-V to my 16 yr old son and I am also concerned about the reliability and safety systems on this vehicle. Please advise. Regards,

On 8/28/23, I turned my car on and all the warning lights were flashing on the dashboard. Two days later, just before bringing the car in for diagnostics, they stopped flashing. Then today, started again. This happened before in April, of this year, but the lights stopped flashing until now. In May, my car slammed on the brakes while I was driving down a side road. The diagnostics showed nothing. Today, 9/1/23, the diagnostic report states the following need immediate attention:Fuel Injector Replacement: Need fuel iniector; *Brake Flush; Valve Cover Gasket Replacement; *Spark Plug Replacement 4 Cylinder My car is no longer under warranty

The car would hesitate and slow down upon acceleration from a stop or slow speed. Could easily have caused the drivers behind me to hit me if they weren't paying attention.
