In January 2023 our vehicle began having numerous issues with sensors, alarms, door locks, the car would turn itself on and drain the battery overnight and at times would not shut off without pulling the main fuse. Through research online it was clear that the problem was the Body Control Module (BCM). There are many, many reports online of the 2018 CRV having this problem, so I took it to the dealer and they had never heard of the issue. They tried to do diagnostics but had no way to determine if it was the BCM. Finally, I asked them to just replace the BCM even without a diagnosis, and after 2 months (there were significant back orders of this part) we were able to get it installed in the car and all was fine. Fast forward to last week (April 2025) and it-??s starting up again - electronics turning on randomly, battery drain, windows going down in the garage, warning lights all illuminated, dead battery every day - so the BCM that was installed in 2023 has failed AGAIN. Honda absolutely knows about this issue as they have a recall for Accords. However, I paid $1000 to fix it in 2023 and will no doubt pay at least that much now to do it again. Meanwhile, the car is effectively inoperable and can-??t be safely operated on the road. Honda needs to RECALL this issue and fix it for good.

All for the safety features light remains on after starting and driving my car. I drive my car for 2 to 3 days per week. The most recent maintenance on my car was the Honda recall and alignment at the dealer. Reading various chats this seems to be a comma issue for the Honda CRV. I am concerned if saftey features work and if my sensors are defected. I purchased my car December 2018 with little over 67, 000k miles.

Summary of Issue: I am submitting this complaint regarding unresolved safety recall issues and recurring emission system failures with my 2018 Honda CR-V. Safety Recall Unresolved for Over One Year: I received a safety recall notice in early 2024 concerning my vehicle-??s fuel pump, but despite numerous follow-ups with both Honda Customer Support and my local dealership, the issue has not been addressed. The necessary parts are not available, and the problem continues to be postponed for over a year, presenting potential safety risks. Emission System Disorder: In 2022, I experienced issues with the emission system in my vehicle, and the case was registered under Case Number 13205072. However, in 2025, the emission system malfunctioned again, and the dealer attributed it to a fuel injector problem. This contradicts the original diagnosis and raises further concerns about a defect in the emission system that may have existed since the vehicle was purchased. Dealer Excuse for Issue: Recently, the dealership has suggested that a faulty fuel injector caused the emission system failure, but I believe the underlying issue could be more serious, potentially related to the recall and the original emission system defect.

Honda has failed to provide the necessary parts to fix a safety recall on my vehicle. This recall is affecting my ability to renew my California DMV registration, as the state requires all safety recalls to be completed before renewal. I have contacted my local Honda dealership multiple times, and they have informed me that the parts are unavailable with no estimated repair date. This situation has put me in a difficult position where I cannot legally drive my vehicle due to expired registration, even though the issue is beyond my control. Honda has not provided an alternative solution, such as a loaner car or reimbursement for transportation costs. I request that NHTSA investigate this matter and urge Honda to resolve this issue immediately.

I experienced an incident related to the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) yesterday afternoon. I was driving on a highway at ~40mph and as I went through a (clear) intersection, my car suddenly decelerated, jerking me forward. Thankfully, I was wearing my seat belt and the car behind me left enough room between us, so there was no impact.

2018 Honda CRV with 47,000 miles bought 12/23/24. Upon driving the car that evening all warning lights on dashboard lit up, and every warning started popping up on the dash - hill start assist error, power steering problem, parking brake problem, vehicle stability assist problem, etc. Car drove without being affected but the warnings continued cycling through on the dashboard. Took it back to the dealer I bought it from, and they said the battery wasn't tightened down all the way. I drove it and the next day all the lights came back on, and cycled through all the warning system errors. It has since stopped again, but this seems to be an issue with the 2018 CRVs.

Honda dealer service has replaced Fuel pump as part of recall for my vehicle. After replacing the fuel pump, my car battery gets drained off very often and not able to start. I checked the battery and other parts including alternator in Firestone, everything looks good. So this is something to do with Fuel pump recall which was causing the battery to drain out.

I have 54,000 miles and this is the second battery and second set of tires. I understand a battery but 2 already, that shouldn-??t be. And tires cupping on 2 sets of tires. And alignment was not the issue and I also have them rotated.

I received the "Important Safety Recall" notice in May 2024. I immediately called my Honda Dealer and was told that parts were on order, and I would be notified when available, however, the approximate date for resolution was in the Fall. I have called 4 times and received the same answer. Here we are in November 2024 and still no resolution. I am always asked if my vehicle is stalling, hesitating or loss of drive power, or wait for my vehicle to burst into flames potentially causing serious injury or possible death. I am very concerned about the safety issues this could cause. I very frequently have my young grandchildren in my vehicle. I don't understand the alleged shortage of parts...aren't new vehicles manufactured all the time" Do they not require fuel pumps" Thank you for your assistance with my safety concern.

I have a recall notice on this vehicle from December 2023 almost 2 years ago. The notice tells me to contact the dealer for the fuel pump recall. However, every time I call the dealer they tell me parts are not available. When can I expect Honda to fix the problem? No one has contacted me to fix this recall. I have had difficulty starting the car on a couple of occasions and I am worried about my family's safety when using the car.

Every warning light came on at the same time. Everything except the cruise control and lane assist works, eventhough the warning lights are on. There is nothing wrong when driving, the car accelerates fine, brakes work fine. Only the cruise control and lane assist are affected by all the warning lights. Took car to the Honda dealership and was told 2 of my fuel injectors are completely clogged, but I have to replace all 4 of them. Why would fuel injector issue cause EVERY warning light to come on. My car gets great gas mileage (and has since I bought it brand new). Have read numerous forums with this same issue from 2017 Honda CRV to 2023 CRV's. Some have had their fuel injectors replaced and the problem comes back in a few weeks. If the fuel injectors aren't the issue, what exactly is making this happen and how do we know it won't cause the brakes and every other system to fail while driving down the street?

Our vehicles air conditioning went out due to the AC Shaft Seal failing on the vehicle, which had its warranty extended by the NHTSA. Honda replaced this part after it failed over the extended warranty but also statted that due to it failing, the entire AC system went out because the compressor blew and sent parts theough out the entire AC system. Honda is not willing to replace the AC system that went out due to the seal failing. This seems inappropriate on our end because they new the failure could happen, did not part us to the potential risks, allowed for it to fail, and want to charge us the cost of repairs for the entire AC system that broke due to the part they new would fail, failing.

This might very well be linked/associated with recent recall for newer Honda CRVs 2022+ for the steering gearbox. Intermittently I'm hearing a creaking noise when steering to the left. I tried to get the dealer to reproduce the issue, and it happened twice while test driving in the lot, but a very faint noise. The dealer couldn't pinpoint the exact issue. The other thing which started happening alongside this creaking noise, is on slow highway speeds and curvy roads, I feel the steering wheel very tight and it seems to stick to the left side, and when I put pressure to turn right/make it straight, it feels like a very sudden movement. This is a safety issue, very likely if this increases, could cause an accident if I can't turn correctly. There are very similar complains by other Honda CR-V owners, and this merits an investigation and recall. I had a full 60K maintenance performed, where the dealer recommended a tie rod change, they replaced, replaced front brakes/rotors and had alignment done as part of that too, they did a complete check of everything under the car, and found no issues.

I understand that the NHTSA has an investigation ongoing after an unspecified number of owners reported serious problems with the differential. The investigation covers as many as 1.7 million 2018-2022 Honda CR-V. My Honda 2018 with 74,400 miles was just diagnosed with this problem. A pinion seal is leaking. The mechanic said this should not happen with such low miles.

i have been waiting since February 2024 for the recalled fuel pump to be replaced in my 2018 Honda CRV. I have not heard from anyone. I want to file a complaint, for the delay.

- Sylmar, CA, USA

At this moment I do not have any incidents or ongoing problems with the car. I do want to prevent this therefore I am reaching out to complain about the long wait-time. The recall has been issued for a long time and I still have not been able to get the replacement of the part, waiting on the go-ahead from Honda. I am hoping it can be done in a timely manner to prevent a possible issue in the future.

The car would not turn off. It said that there was some sort of electronic key issue and after stopping the car and putting it in park the engine would not shut off. Hitting the stop button did nothing. With no option to basically render the car into a safe position I drove the car to the dealer. The dealer was surprised they looked at the car and basically diagnosed that the BCM had failed. It is surprising to me that the BCM and ignition control systems are designed to prevent turning off the engine in case of failure of one of the components. They charged me approximately $750 for replacing the BCM.

Purchased vehicle March 6,2024. On the test drive I noticed some front end passenger issues and jerking of steering wheel while driving. I was assured it was a tire issue and alignment. I put new pads, rotors, calipers on front end and bought new tires. Car is still jerking from side to side while trying to steer no matter the speed but worse over 50 MPH.

I purchased a used 2018 CRV in January/February 2024. It came with a recall notice. I have been trying to get it fixed, but two different dealerships have told me that the part is not available and I need to wait for a second recall notice. This is concerning and I do not believe I am being told the truth regarding the availability of parts needed for them to comply with the recall repair.
