2017 Honda CR-V

Over the past 6/7 months, the following: ALL warning lights on dashboard flashing whenever car in running, strong smell of gasoline detected in home garage, and 5/6 times during the past 4/5 weeks engine "rough" when starting cold accompanied by loss of power. The lack of effective warning notices and/or the sudden loss of power increases the risk of crash and injury. I understand that these are related to a known Manufacturer's defect. The dealer replaced the fuel injectors and provided some additional service. I understand that Honda has issued some "campaigns" and some vehicles have been granted extended warranties, etc. but I was told that this vehicle is not eligible. I would like to try to obtain reimbursement for the repairs since it appears to be related to a documented manufacturer's defect. I also understand that there has been a recall under this issue in Canada.

My vehicle was taken into Automaster Honda, the dealership where I purchased it, on June 11, 2026, for the yearly required VT safety inspection and other minor service. I was told that due to rust holes near the REAR TRAILING ARMS my vehicle would not pass a safety inspection. Publicly available information indicates that this condition can potentially cause a loss of control of the vehicle, and thus a crash, and presumably, potential loss of life!! There is no recall for this issue in this model year Honda, there is no fix, (even though there was a recall on 2007-2011 model year Hondas for the same issue) and my dealership is not able to recommend anyone who might be able to fix this problem. They can't fix it. According to the service manager at Automaster, Honda Canada has reportedly been issued a bulletin indicating that this 'problem' is neither a safety or structural issue but no such bulletin has been issued for Honda U.S. He advised me that my vehicle is safe to drive; however, I still cannot get an inspection sticker, without which I could receive a citation, and I am still troubled each time I get in this car. I don't think I could sell this car even if I wanted to because of this issue. The only entity who has inspected my vehicle is the dealership. There were no warning lights or messages and last year, supposedly conducting the same inspection, there was no indication of this problem or I was not informed of one at that time. I am going in July 16 for a necessary brake job, something also recommended on June 11 when I was advised of the trailing arm issue. I can't drive around with worn brakes. Photos attached are from June 11, taken with a technician's cell phone. When I go in on July 16, I will view the damage myself and take my own pictures. On June 11, the vehicle had already been taken off the lift and I could not see the damage myself that day. Thank you.

I have a 2017 Honda crv which has intermittent bucking type issues, if I accelerate during that time the check engine light will turn on and the car will stop, sometimes when I turn the car on it will shake a bit like it struggled to turn on, in these cases most warning lights will turn on but the car will drive. Battery has been checked and it giving good output, what else could it be. Every warning ligh turns on and the car does not let me go faster than 25mph. This happens 2x on a highway and this time while home in my drive way.

I’ve been informed that my vehicle needs a new head gasket at 89,000 miles. Upon research this is a very common issue with this year Honda CRV. It requires a $4500 repair, which for a Honda with less than 100,000 miles is unacceptable. I asked what preventative maintenance should I have done to prevent this and I was told there was absolutely nothing we could’ve done. We contacted Honda and after two weeks we were told that they were not going to provide any assistance.

The car misfires every now and then. For last two years (I bought it used two yers ago odometer=105k now 113k), it has been a repeated problem. A few times it lost all power and stopped completely. Once on highway. Once I had to get it towed. Another occasion it restarted after 15 minutes break as if nothing had gone wrong. This is very scary - I have reduced my driving and try to avoid highways as much as possible. It gives a code of P0302. It happens irrespective of hot or cold, speed or outside temperature. The mechanic repaired it - by changing injector coil, spark plugs, once even added injector cleaning fluid to see if the problem would go away. Plus top up the coolant. In the most recent mechanic trip - he tested for coolant leakage on head gasket and confirmed that is the problem. He also informed me that it is a widely known problem with this model (2017 Honda CRV 1.5L) although I wasn't aware of that when I bought it from a used car dealer, basically relying on Honda's reputation.

Our 2017 CRV had 91,000 miles on it. Over the course of a few months, occasionally we saw warning dashlights come on, and had sluggish engine performance. We took it for diagnostic testing at two Honda Dealerships. Both determined it needed a new head gasket and turbo charge unit, costing about $8-10K to repair, depending on what they saw when they disassembled it. Contacted American Honda for hardship/goodwill relief but was denied support. Upon research, we have found that the 2017 and 2018 Honda 1.5 turbo charge engines have experienced significant issues and has a flawed design that allows fluids to mix, causing this type of engine failure. We regularly maintained this vehicle with recommended oil changes and tire rotations.

All my dashboard lights came on and it was driving sluggish and idling a little hard. I took it in for diagnostic and they said that it was a blown head gasket. They told me they only do one oil change and they do not look at the bottom of part of the engine as that’s another teardown. They had my vehicle for a week. I got it back on Friday. Didn’t drive it on Saturday. today is Sunday. I drove it less than 40 miles. All the lights came back on and it smells like antifreeze.

Since approximately mid-2024, my 2017 Honda CR-V has intermittently displayed a cascading series of dashboard warning lights, including TPMS, ABS, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), EPS (Electric Power Steering), Brake System, Hill Start Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Road Departure Mitigation. When active, these lights fully disable Honda Sensing driver-assist features. The pattern is consistent and recurring: warning lights remain active for approximately 3-4 days, then self-clear for 1-2 days, before recurring again. This cycle has repeated for over 18 months. A windshield replacement with camera recalibration temporarily resolved the issue for approximately one week before it returned. On 07/02/2026, I brought the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership (Honda of Short Pump, Richmond, VA) specifically to diagnose this warning light cascade, and paid a $195 diagnostic fee. The technician's documented complaint states the lights are intermittent and 'stay on about 3-4 days.' Despite this being the stated complaint, the dealership's diagnostic report identified only two unrelated fault codes — P05A0 (Active Grille Shutter malfunction) and P0172 (Fuel System Too Rich) — and did not identify, report, or provide any code specific to the TPMS, ABS, VSA, EPS, or ADAS/camera systems actually affected. When asked, the service advisor verbally attributed the light cascade to the shutter and injector faults, but could not provide supporting diagnostic data. This explanation does not align with the reported timeline, as the TPMS/warning light cascade began approximately one year before the shutter fault (P05A0) reportedly occurred as a single, non-recurring event. I am concerned that a genuine intermittent fault affecting multiple safety-critical systems (ABS, VSA, EPS, braking, and collision avoidance) simultaneously has gone undiagnosed for over 18 months, and that this may represent a broader pattern affecting other 2017-2018 CR-V

The air conditioning on my 2017 Honda CR-V repeatedly failed to blow cold air. On the most recent visit, the dealer found the A/C system had no pressure and the A/C discharge hose was leaking. I paid approximately $4,162 for a discharge hose replacement and system recharge, and the A/C still does not cool afterward. This matches the known A/C compressor shaft seal defect affecting 2017-2022 CR-V models, which Honda has acknowledged through a warranty extension (Service Bulletin 23-039) rather than a formal recall. The shaft seal can swell and leak refrigerant, leading to loss of cooling and downstream damage to A/C components such as the discharge hose. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by a Honda dealer, and the failed components are available for inspection. A/C concerns were logged by the dealer on multiple prior occasions (2022, 2025, and 2026), showing a recurring, unresolved failure. The vehicle has roughly 67,000 miles, well within normal service life. Warning symptom prior to failure: the A/C gradually stopped cooling and intermittently blew warm air over multiple seasons before failing completely. Safety note: A/C failure is primarily a comfort and reliability defect rather than a crash hazard, but loss of defrost/climate performance can affect visibility and driver comfort in extreme heat.

I experienced an dangerous incident yesterday while driving my 2017 Honda CRV at highway speed in Minneapolis, MN area. The Collision Mitigation Braking System activated suddenly and without warning. An extremely abrupt/harsh employment of the braking system was experienced without any warning. The unexpected and extremely sudden activation of the braking system caused myself and the car’s contents to be thrown forward into the front of the vehicle, and causing me to nearly loose control of the vehicle. It felt like this 'safety' system took control of the vehicle for an eternity, but likely was no more than a few seconds before power returned to the accelerator and I was safely able to navigate to the far right lane. The onset and braking was so abrupt and extreme, that I could have been easily rear-ended if someone was directly behind me. There was nothing immediately in front of me that should have caused this system to activate. I had no idea at the time as to what was going on, thinking my car was having some sort of mechanical issues. I drove home on ‘pins and needles’ hoping I would make it to Baxter, Mn where I live. I later learned that this was likely the CMBS, as other consumers had described exactly what I experienced. Even though I now intend to disable the system, I am now extremely apprehensive to drive the vehicle for fear this will activate unexpectedly again, causing an abrupt and dangerous (potentially life-threatening) while in traffic. This is a shame as I’ve really enjoyed the CRV, but now feel like it is a ‘deathtrap’ and have lost all confidence in driving it for fear of my safety. I brought this to the attention of the dealership in Burnsville, MN where the car was purchased (Walser). I was told they’d make a note of it, but that I needed to call HONDA directly with any reports. I informed them that I would be filing a report with NHSTB. I have not had the vehicle evaluated, but can make available for inspection if helpful.

There doesn't have to be a vehicle or obstacle in front of the vehicle and the brake system will automatically apply. This is extremely dangerous as vehicles behind the CRV have no warning the brakes are being instantly applied on the highway and/or street roads. Practically slams on the brakes.

On May 25th, 2026 multiple dashboard warning lights flashed simultaneously while I was driving indicating an immediate engine issue, all warning alerts showed up. Next day, the engine exhibited a structural shudder/shake. The vehicle has otherwise always been perfectly maintained and operated flawlessly, thus, I called the dealership/ they gave me an appointment for the next day, after their inspection, they said that they need to replace the head gasket, timing chain set, and fuel injectors simultaneously; i learnt the imminent safety hazard i was exposed to! Operating a vehicle with an active internal fluid leak and compromised cylinder sealing creates an unpredictable driving hazard, putting occupants at risk of being stranded or rear-ended due to sudden engine failure. This proves that this is a systemic thermal defect affecting the structural integrity of the 1.5L turbo powertrain. The dealership stated the vehicle requires a top-end engine rebuild, specifically: a head gasket, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and a timing chain set. This is unacceptable given that my car is only 58.8K miles. I purchased the car brand new and always take good care, this issue is putting tens of thousands of dollars at financial risk! Now, on top of that, they want me to pay around $ 6,000 thousand dollars for a well-documented 1.5L engineering defect. This will destroy my trust in the brand and guarantee I will never buy a Honda again. This should be a safety recall, and why must I pay for their manufacture's issue? Is not fair.

During a 2 hour drive, my 2017 Honda CRV EXL had all lights pop up on the dash and we experienced a sudden loss of acceleration on the highway. After finally being able to pull over, we were left stranded due to what a Honda dealership later found to be an oil dilution defect that caused a catastrophic failure in the turbocharger. Me and my girlfriend were left stranded for hours two hours away from home. This was a manufacturing defect that put me and my girlfriends lives at risk, this issue occured suddenly when we were travelling at highway speeds. The sudden flash of all dash lights during the incident were distracting as well as the situation incredibly worrying and could have caused us to crash. Even though we were able to stop safely, the situation has still created a lasting mental effect on me, as I have to carry the burden and trauma of the event with no reimbursment from Honda. There were no signs that could have told us this was going to happen as I have taken great care of the car, as it is my first car that I bought, and it is completely unaccetpable to have this happen to me when the car is only at 77,000 miles. The dealership did a diagnosis and the repair bill from the dealership to fix the turbo and intercooler is $5,000, and it is completely unacceptable that this even happened. I have taken great care of the car and a catastrophic failure of the engine system left us stranded for hours where we could not get any help. This has taken a huge toll on my mental state, and the car is left sitting at the dealership due to the completely unreasonable price tag of repair for an issue that is a known manufacturing issue, we have not gotten any reimbursment for the repair. It is unreasoble and unaccetpable to put the cost of repair on the driver who had no way to avoid this life-threatening manufacturing defect.

All brake systems warning lamps illuminated while driving on the highway, the vehicle was pulled off the road and shut off, brakes were visually inspected and all fluid levels were examined and everything was intact. Vehicle was driven again after a breif time and everything was fine. A few weeks later all warning lamps were displayed, the vehicle was brought to a Honda dealership the following morning and a cracked fuel pump was diagnosed and the technician believed that there was no coolant in the vehicle and that was filled. The technicians suggested a scope of the engine to rule out a leaking head gasket but I could not afford it and monitored my coolant levels, had a pressure test done at a trusted mechanic and everything was fine for approx 3 months. Absolutely no coolant was observed on my driveway, the coolant level remained optimal on visual inspection. The vehicle started to drive roughly and I suspected new spark plugs were needed, those were installed at the dealership. The issue was not resolved and I returned w/in 1 month and was told that 3/4 cylinders were blown in addition to the head gasket. The vehicle has 106k miles and has received all maintenance as described. The cost to repair is over $8,000. I believe this is a failure on Honda as this is a very well documented issue with this specific vehicle.

2017 Honda CRV Touring with VIN [XXX] . My son and daughter drove the car and all of a sudden all the lights started going off( it looks like Christmas lights). We got it scanned multiple times from different places where they have the scanner. It was showing P0304 Misfire #4 cylinder and U0401-68 ecm failure. We took it to the dealer and they found out the same code fuel injector needs to be replaced. I am single mom and didn't have the money to get it fix. Our car only had less than 21k. I stayed up to do more research online. Found out more about this common issues with same model. I contacted another dealer, explained my situation and he advised me to call honda corp to be added to the recall and mention goodwill. I immediately called the corporate but had to wait for their case mgr to get back with us. I asked my daughter to call the dealer where we got our car diagnosed, to ask svc advisor if it is safe to use the car and we were advised that it's ok to use. However my daughter was driving the car and all of a sudden it wasn't accelerating and only going around 5 miles per hour. She had to go back home and missed her classes. She was scared and I could just imagine how scary that was.How about if this happened when she was in the freeway? This could have caused a major accident. I don't understand why Honda only issued the recall to some cars with same model as ours if they already have lots of customers having same issue. I even read this issue was featured on ABC news. Honda did offer to help with lowering the fuel injector but I still have to pay $899.19 and around $204 for diagnosis. The svc advisor said they've been having a lot of same model cars coming in for fuel injector problems. I am reaching out hoping you can help direct us in getting the full reimbursement and hoping our car can be added to the recall so we can get reimburse.Honda should be fully liable for this due to known issue.

No engine light codes ( but having intermittent connection issues with obd port but never been damaged or anything) but it does it sometimes consistently and sometimes it will have a few moments under same acceleration condition or higher rpms but its never consistent. When these occur the car feels like power loss in the acceleration and a slight dragging in the drivability but again not always present. Been to exaust shop and they found nothing from.their initial inspection. Its hard to trigger the affects since it happens randomly/intermittently.

5th generation (2017-2022) Honda CRV displaying ALL driver assistance system errors (stability control, cruise control, emergency anti-collision etc), check engine light, tire pressure monitor malfunction, parking brake, and some other lights. *OBDII scan reads back P0303* Battery was replaced in 2025, and has never tested at low voltage. Recently tested battery 04/26/2026 at 14.51V (with engine running). Spark plugs replaced 04/26/2026 with OEM NGK plugs with OE Gap 0.030". Drove car for 10 minutes and lights didn't go away. Upon researching, this appears to be a "replace all fuel injectors" job. Which also appears to be a fairly COMMON issue in these CRVs. My concern is that the misfire is disabling all driver safety systems and forcing the car into limp mode, and seems to be manufacturer error/negligence in terms of part reliability/quality. These parts are also on a 6-9 month BACK ORDER because of how common the issue is. Honda released "Service Bulletin 19-032" as a means to make dealers aware of the issue but I find this dishonest to the customers and Honda owners who purchase the vehicles on the promise of reliability. Please look into this issue, as it seems to happen just outside of warranty on these cars. Honda scarcely giving out goodwill refunds/assistance for THEIR factory-issue.

My 2017 CRV Touring was working fine. I had a fender bender accident and they replaced the Collision Mitigation Braking System with a new Honda part. After the repair and I have the car in cruise control, it will suddenly brake and decelerate when there is nothing in front of me. This is very dangerous when you're going 65 mph on a highway. It is at the Honda Short Pump dealership. They have had it for 4 working days and can't find the problem. I know there was a class action lawsuit and Honda won, but surely this is a very serious problem they should fix.

First owner of a newly purchased 2017 Honda CR-V that has been well and regularly maintained. Driving at 25mph in a city and every single warning light and dash light simultaneously came on. Every single one -- brakes, headlights, emergency brake, engine, etc. Eventually codes read off the car's computer showed P0172, P219C, P219F -- all of these codes relate to the fuel injectors. I brought the car to a Honda dealer and they confirmed that all of the fuel injectors needed to be replaced and said the fuel injectors are "faulty" and "from a bad batch." Lots of Honda forums online talking about faulty fuel injectors. A whole thread on 2017 CR-V fuel injector problems can be easily found online along with service bulletins for fuel injector problems (with the code P0172) for similar year, different model Honda vehicles. The dealership confirmed the fuel injector problem but then said they couldn't source the parts despite a "global search" and putting us on a "critical list." We then went to a competent independent mechanic who was able to source Honda OEM fuel injector replacement kit from a different Honda dealership (not sure why the first Honda dealership couldn't get the parts then...) The independent mechanic said the fuel injectors looked "terrible" and "definitely faulty." He sent us home with the old parts, which we have and could supply. Faulty fuel injectors affecting the propulsion system feels unsafe and the fact that Honda told us "you are out of luck" with regard to replacements was especially aggravating. We had no chance to pursue a goodwill repair of the issue even though our independent mechanic did find the parts at Honda in spite of the first dealership's claim of a global search. The service that was performed included replacing all fuel injectors and whatever is in the associated OEM kit. In summary, fuel injector problems caused ALL warning lights to come in, dealership confirmed problem, mechanic repaired, many reports of same issue online.

While driving my 2017 Honda CR-V, I experienced sudden, unexpected steering behavior consistent with a defective electronic power steering (EPS) gearbox. The steering wheel momentarily became difficult to turn in either direction, with a "sticky" or binding feel followed by a sudden release of resistance, causing oversteer beyond my input. When the wheel was turned to or near full lock, the EPS appeared to apply assist opposite my input, briefly pulling the vehicle unexpectedly to one side. The failure occurred early on most noticably at highway speeds going down windy roads downhill. It became progressively worse in other driving situations over time. This unintended steering behavior reduced vehicle maneuverability and created a serious risk of loss of control, including coming dangerously close to unavoidably crossing the double-yellow line into oncoming traffic. I took the vehicle to Tony Honda in Kona. The dealer diagnosed a defective EPS steering gearbox and replaced the gearbox assembly, performed a four-wheel alignment, and completed the steering angle neutral position learning procedure. The diagnosis and repair exactly match Honda Service Bulletin 18-103 / NHTSA Recall 18V-663 (Honda codes C2N / P2O), covering 2017–2018 Civic and CR-V vehicles for an improperly secured torque sensor magnet that shifts within the gearbox and causes unintended steering input. However, my VIN was not included in the recall, and I paid $2,000 out of pocket for a repair Honda performs free of charge on recalled vehicles with the identical defect. The recall covers only 54 vehicles total, despite multiple owner complaints reporting the same failure on 2017 CR-Vs outside that VIN range. I request that NHTSA investigate expanding Recall 18V-663 to include additional 2017 CR-V VINs with the same defect, and that affected owners who paid for the repair be eligible for reimbursement.

System/Component Involved: Fuel System / Fuel Injectors / High-Pressure Fuel Joint Pipe Description of Incident and Safety Risk: My 2017 Honda CR-V (1.5T engine) experienced a fuel system failure evidenced by DTC P0172 and a failed AF cylinder test, confirmed by an authorized Honda dealer. This failure leads to engine hesitation and power loss, creating a safety hazard during operation. More critically, during the repair (Case #16244235), the dealer and manufacturer refused to replace the High-Pressure Fuel Joint Pipe. According to Honda’s official Service Manual and TSBs for the Earth Dreams 1.5T engine, this pipe is a mandatory, one-time-use component that must be replaced whenever fuel injectors are serviced. Reusing this component violates Honda’s own safety protocols and poses a severe fire risk due to potential fuel leakage under high pressure ($20\text{ MPa}$+). Safety Risk to Others: Reinstalling a non-reusable high-pressure fuel line creates a high probability of fuel spraying onto hot engine components, leading to an under-hood fire while driving. This endangers the occupants and others on the road. Reproduction and Inspection: The injector failure was confirmed by [Insert Dealer Name] in Houston, TX. The subsequent safety violation (failure to replace the mandatory fuel joint pipe) is documented on my repair invoice dated April 2026. The vehicle and the old part (if still on the car) are available for inspection. Symptoms and Warning Lamps: The Check Engine Light (DTC P0172) appeared shortly before the failure, accompanied by a strong gasoline odor and engine stalling symptoms.

On March 28, 2026, the check engine light illuminated on my 2017 Honda CR-V EX (VIN [XXX] ) at 59,057 miles. I pulled diagnostic trouble codes with a consumer OBD-II reader and recorded P0301, P0302, and P0303. On March 30, 2026, I contacted American Honda Customer Service to request goodwill repair assistance. I was told to obtain an authorized dealer diagnostic and resubmit. I did so. On March 31, 2026, I had Goudy Honda perform an authorized diagnostic (repair order #315466. Goudy confirmed the stored DTCs were P0300 (random misfire detected), P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire detected), and P0302 (cylinder 2 misfire detected). The dealer recommended replacement of all four fuel injectors at a quoted cost of $1,961.17 plus tax, and stated the injectors were out of factory, powertrain, and emission warranties. This DTC set (P0300–P0304 and P0172) is the exact set addressed by American Honda Motor Co.'s own Service Bulletin 18-124 and Service Bulletin 19-037. On April 10, 2026, Honda Corporate denied assistance on the ground that the vehicle is "out of warranty." On April 20, 2026, a Honda Corporate representative named Desiree called me to say that American Honda will not document in writing the reasoning for the denial and will send only a generic template. This matches the pattern of consumer complaints described in Bissell v. American Honda Motor Co which catalogs hundreds of similar ODI complaints and alleges that American Honda has known of, and concealed, a defect in its 1.5L i-VTEC turbocharged engine since at least 2016. Safety concern: misfire events at freeway speed produce sudden loss of power, limp-mode activation, and the risk of unexpected deceleration in traffic. The class complaint documents multiple incidents of sudden stalls and engine failures in comparable vehicles, including on highways. I am filing this complaint to ensure ODI has a record of this incident and to support any existing or future investigation of this engine.

Steering gets "sticky". Brought car to Honda dealer and just by test driving the car they want $6000 to replace bad bearings, steering motor and gearbox. No diagnostic test was done or parts looked at physically. I brought car to a local mechanic who also test drove car and did a diagnostic test and they said the steering motor and gearbox are fine and said nothing wrong with car. Honda has had recall on 2017-2018 crvs due to faulty steering mechanism. This is obviously a known Honda safety issue since Honda dealer knew what problem was just by test driving car and known recall. Why is my car not covered even though Honda said it's out of warranty? Which mechanic do I believe? Can local mechanic diagnostic test pick up the problem as outlined in Honda recall with magnet issue? I don't want to drive an unsafe car yet Honda wants $6k and I don't know for sure if there's a safety issue.

Head gasket failed due to bolts stretching allowing coolant to leak into the cylinder on cold starts until the engine warmed and sealed itself. Was confirmed by Honda technician be causing a misfire on cylinder 4 throwing code p0304 and all warning lights on dash going off during cold starts only. Lead to unreliable transportation, slow acceleration, and even random parking brake engagement one time when waiting to pull out from a parking lot into traffic, in a vehicle supposed to be sold as reliable for families and to last over 200k miles with proper maintenance while this has happened at 140,000 miles despite proper maintenance and at no fault of my own, but as a design flaw that Honda is aware of and wont recall to fix causing major costly repairs.

I have a 2017 CRV 1.5T. I currently have confirmed fuel dilution and a P219F (emission systems problem) code. Records show TSB 18-114 was performed as Honda tried to fix the fuel dilution problem through an ECM software update but it did not fix the issue. They followed it up with TSB 19-067 which was to further update the ECM software. The problem is this was not applied to all CRV 1.5T including mine. This is known ongoing defect and leads to car going into limp mode in highway driving. That is dangerous and a safety hazard. Honda should update the ECM software fix for all Honda CRVs using the 1.5T and replace faulty fuel injectors.

I have experienced instances of the brakes being aggressively applied unexpectedly when no other vehicles or stationary objects are nearby to trigger the collision avoidance system. Any car following immediately behind would have rear-ended me. This has occurred a few times in the last 12 months. No warning lights are present prior to, or when this occurs. I have not had the vehicle inspected by anyone given the intermittent nature of this issue.

The car runs hot and needs antifreeze. I add antifreeze. The next week it runs hot again. There is no antifreeze leaking on the ground. The Honda dealer stated the antifreeze is leaking into the engine and blown a head gasket. I am advised this is very common problem for a Honda CRV. It should be a recall. This is why I am filing a complaint. The Honda dealer wants 7000 to fix it. The car has 102,000 miles.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing safety issue with my 2017 Honda CR‑V equipped with the 1.5L turbocharged engine. While driving, the vehicle experienced sudden and unexpected power loss, creating a dangerous situation, particularly while in traffic. During this incident, the vehicle also began emitting visible smoke, indicating a serious mechanical or engine-related failure. At the same time, the dashboard and instrument panel malfunctioned or failed, limiting my ability to receive warnings or diagnose the issue while operating the vehicle. Over the past 23 months, I have brought this vehicle to three different Honda dealerships due to warning lights, abnormal behavior, and ongoing concerns related to performance and reliability. Despite multiple service visits, the dealerships were unable to properly identify or resolve the underlying issue. Temporary explanations or repairs were provided, but the problem persisted. It was only during the most recent dealership visit in the last week that the issue was finally properly identified, after months of unresolved complaints and warning indicators. By that time, the vehicle had already experienced a serious failure involving power loss, smoke, and dashboard malfunction. The prolonged inability to correctly diagnose and repair this vehicle, combined with the sudden power loss and system failures, created a significant safety hazard. This failure could have resulted in a crash and placed vehicle occupants and others at risk. I believe this issue may be related to a broader defect affecting Honda CR‑V vehicles equipped with the 1.5L turbo engine. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter due to the severe safety implications and the pattern of unresolved warnings over an extended period.

been having trouble with the climate control system and the radio screen will black out unexpectedly. this has been going on for years. last night, 3/24/2026, I came home and as I put the vehicle in park, all of a sudden the dashboard lights up with all sorts of faults. when I went to go to work on 3/25/2026, I still had all of the faults lit up on the dashboard, and when I went to put the vehicle in reverse it wouldn't go anywhere because one of the faults was a brake system fault. I was told that this could happen going down the highway where the brake system and the other faults could come back on and cause a crash.
