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.

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.

  • 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.

2,790 miles. Gas fumes in the cabin of newly purchased 2019 Honda CR-V and on the outside of car near front of car. On 02/03/2020, I took the car to Honda's service center where they performed a multi-point inspection(visual inspection). They ran the car in the garage for 45 minutes but were unable to duplicate the problem and the smell could not be noticed inside the cab, around the fuel tank or under the hood. But they did say, the oil had a fuel smell. I found this is a known oil dilution problem that has been found in 2018 and 2017 models and that it was to be corrected for 2019. Honda is aware this is still an issue but say they cannot duplicate the issue so they do nothing. I have respiratory problems and very sensitive to certain odors and fumes, and when I drive the car I have to have the moon roof open and the windows cracked. It causes discomfort in my chest and air passage. I called Honda customer service several times and opened a case. It was assigned to a case manager who said he would look into it and call me back in a couple of days, that was 2 months ago. He never called. I called them again 4/20/2020 and was told I can get a second opinion at another Honda service center, but if the results are the same there is nothing they can do. Honda knows this is an issue that has not been corrected for the 2019 and refuses to do anything. This car is a hazard for those with health issues, small children and for anyone breathing in these fumes. I am a senior citizen who bought this car based on good reviews because I wanted a good car that would possibility be the last car I had to purchase and it may be, but not for the reasons I hoped. When someone purchases a brand new car with a 5 year car note, the least they should be able to expect is the ability to drive the car without feeling they are putting their life in jeopardy. Honda is awful and shameful.

Problem: Fuel getting into oil transfer case and contaminating/diluting the oil. We purchased a 2019 Honda CR-V ex-L on 10/31/19. I had done some research on this problem since it had been reported with the 2017-2018 models with the same 1.5 turbo engine. I brought it to the dealer's attention before we bought the car and we were told that Honda had "fixed the problem and that our vehicle had the fix". we were planning a trip to dallas, tx on 02/22/20 and planed to drive there from our home in duluth, mn. In preparing for the trip, I checked the engine oil and found that the oil level was 1/2" above the full mark on the dipstick, and the oil was dark and smelled strongly of gasoline. The car had 2407 miles on it at this time and obviously Honda had not fixed the problem. I took the car to the dealer on 02/21/20 where I purchased the car and had them check the oil. They observed the same issues that I am reporting. They stated that Honda knows about this problem but has not yet issued a recall. But they also stated that Honda was not providing any explanation or remedy other than to change the oil at the owner's expense. My dealership, to their credit, agreed to change the oil and filter at no charge to me. The service manager also explained why the issue is occurring and acknowledged that Honda may yet be forced to issue a recall. Honda has already offered an extended warranty for the 2017-18 models as the result of a class action suit, but nothing is being done for the 2019 or 2020 models that have the same engine and same problem. I am concerned about premature engine wear, damage, or potential of fire or explosion. Dealer repair #122992, krenzen Honda duluth, mn.

The engine is getting gas in the oil. I have taken oil samples that show greater than 5% gas in the engine with lower than minimum oil viscosity. I have taken it to the dealer who changed the oil. Less than 1000 miles later, the problem is back. The engine hesitates randomly especially when slowing down. I've taken the vehicle to two different dealers with the same "there's nothing we can do". I asked them if they could pull the injectors and check to see if one is faulty and was told "it's direct injection, the injectors cannot be pulled", which of course is false. The last mechanic told me that unless the oil level is more than 1.5 inches above the add mark, there was no chance of damage to the engine. I estimate that at that level, there would be 30% gas in oil. The company stated that the problem for the 1.5 turbo engine in the 2019 CR-V was solved. I don't believe it has been solved based on my and others experience.
