CR-V

The car was cranked as usual and immediately the following multiple warnings began scrolling through on screen: Hill start assist problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem, tire pressure monitor problem. The car was driven directly to Van York Honda Dealership in High Point, NC. Their diagnosis was "needs injectors and pipe". The service representative informed me that the injectors are on backorder with no estimated time of arrival, and you can drive your car, but we do not what it may do. So, the safety issue is that at any point the injectors could fail. After doing my own research, I have been made aware of many others with Honda CRV are having the same problem diagnosed with fuel injectors and are on backorder. I notified American Honda, but they cannot give an estimated time of arrival for injectors either.

On the way home from work, my wife's CRV suddenly cut off in traffic. It wouldn't resart, multiple dash warnings came on. I used a scanner on the scene, and got trouble code 0087 (fuel rail pressure low). Multiple Honda models, including ours, have had fuel pump failure causing a dangerous situation like ours, stopped in middle of busy intersection. Our VIN number shows no recalls, but I feel like it's no coincidence that we have the exact same problem. Honda has a bulletin about swelling in the impeller/vanes inside pump causing it to lock up, and require early replacement. Our vehicle has less than 52,000 miles on it. I have owned about a dozen Hondas over the years, and none have ever needed a fuel pump. If this had happened 5 minutes prior, my wife would have been on the interstate, and in more danger. There were never any symptoms or warnings prior to this incident. The dealer has the car now.

Every warning light flashing, loss of power and none of the advanced features working. Took to Honda dealer on multiple occasions and can't diagnose issue. Had regular maintenance done and now the radiator hose blew off while driving and won't star. Bought brand new and have records of maintenance. Very dangerous due to lack if acceleration when trying to merge or turn into traffic.

2019 CRV 18k mileage stalled without warning while making a right turn onto a heavily travelled two-lane road with a 50 mph speed limit blocking all southbound traffic at the crest of a steep hill. Car would not restart or jump-start. Battery was fine and car started 5 minutes beforehand. No warning lights rough idling, etc. Just dead-stopped. It was towed to a Honda Service Center and problem was diagnosed as a defective fuel pump relay.

The fuel pump failed on my car. I am very lucky and fortunate that I had my car parked in my driveway. I had driven my car a couple times the day it happened and my car started and then immediately shut off, after that, the car would turn over but wouldn't turn on and the battery and oil lights were flashing. I did not need an oil change, I still had 70% life. I called AAA to come because I thought it was my battery, the technician told me that my battery was at 100% and he'd never seen a Honda do this before. I had my car towed to Honda where they found it to be the fuel pump. My car has a little less than 65,000 miles on it and is only 3.5 years old. My car had been running well up until this point. When I asked more and more questions about this, they said that I was getting power to my pump but it wasn't coming on. I was told that it wasn't going to ground. Again, I am lucky that I was in my driveway but they had told me that once my car got to the dealership, they had turned it on and it started up, but then it died. Luckily I wasn't on the road anywhere. I know there is an active recall for Honda CR-V fuel pumps but it doesn't cover what happened to my car which is ridiculous. In all the years I've been driving, I have never had an issue with a fuel pump before, nor should I ever. This is not part of a recall and it should be.

Multiple times all of my dashboard lights come on without notice. After checking my battery, there was no reason. It comes on for days then off. I took it to the honda dealership to che k it it. They stated that it was the fuel injectors, however my year of Honda is mot in the repair. After calling the corporate Honda and Honda of Stonecrest, I have gotten no response at all. It has been close to 2 months.

Driving on road and all of a sudden the car seemed like it was braking. We have don't automatic breaking. The dash lights came on. Engine, steering wheel !, traction control, brake system, and blinking brake light. The last few days it was taking more cranks, this started happening after a new fuel pump was installed last month. This was because of a fuel pump recall.

There is a recall on some "NOT" all 2019 Honda CRV -( Recall consequence: Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.) While driving my car started to stall and act up like it had bad gas, the dashboard then lit up with every warning possible. I was able to get my car to the dealership I purchased it from. They did the recall search and Zero open recalls for my 2019 honda were found however the mechanic stated it was the fuel pump which is the same problem listed above for the other 2019 CRV. Please investigate and Please help!.

Gas was getting into the crankcase, mixing with the oil so that the CRV would not operate. The warning lights did not come on until it was too late. It had to be towed.

1. My car like many other CRV's I have read about online in forums and other sites is experiencing the fuel injection failure of CRV's since 2017 model. The consumer reports article from 2018 stated the 2019 model was to include a "fix" for this problem but it has not. My car has been in the shop twice in 2 weeks for this issue and now I am facing a $1,788 repair at my cost to have all new fuel injectors replaced at 51,400 miles. First sign of problem showed every safety system on the car failing and warnings on every light on the dash. Only after the 2nd trip to the dealer was the fuel injection code thrown on the computer. This problem leads to stalls, cuts offs, sluggishness in traffic which all cause safety issues. 2. The automatic emergency braking system on my car has alerted on multiple occasions when there is nothing in front of me, no obstruction, or any reason to throw the brake warning on the screen. There is one particular place on my daily commute where this happens consistently even though the light is green and there is no traffic flow ahead, beside or oncoming. 3. The lane keep assist program misreads shadows from the electric or telephone lines projected onto the roadway and steers to maneuver around them. It also tends to have difficulty when the road is wet in spots from rain earlier in the day. I keep it off most of the time now because of how it reacts.

2019 Honda CRV. I have noticed that my oil has an amount of gas over 5% twice by analysis. I am worried about the problem of oil dilution that Honda CRV's (model year 2017 & 2018) have had. I fear that I will have premature engine damage and more important loss of power or stalling on the highway as the 1.5 liter direct injection Honda CRV engines have experienced.

CR-V 4-cyl

  • 12,500 miles
We were driving on a straight section of road at 80mph on I-24 E when the engine light came on and we lost power to the wheels but the engine was still running. There was no jerking motion or any sign of trouble when this happened. We had to coast in heavy traffic with semi-trucks all around us to get to the right hand shoulder for a safe place. Honda's reply to the dealer was to change the oil out if there was gas in the oil. There was gas in the oil when the dealer checked so they replaced the oil. No other fix was suggested by Honda to the dealer even though this problem was supposed to be fixed for the 2019 models as it had initiated field repairs for the 2017 & 2018 models. The fix was supposed to be implemented at the assembly plants before the 2019 models were sold.

Developed oil dilution problem, to the point where it damaged my spark plugs and the engine had trouble running, had to be towed to dealership. Cause smoking under the hood and shakiness in the middle of driving, wheel locked up and I couldn't steer, all warning lights came on the dash together, not safe at all.
