FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

2017 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, 1.5L turbo. Vehicle has experienced persistent rough running/idle, random misfires, and hesitation/jerking during acceleration. Genuine Honda OEM fuel injectors were replaced and the system was recalibrated, but the symptoms have persisted. Spark plugs have also previously been replaced. I became aware of NHTSA Recall 23V-858 involving fuel pump impeller failure in certain 2017–2022 Honda CR-V vehicles. Honda’s VIN-specific recall lookup currently shows no active recall for my vehicle. I am concerned that my vehicle may be experiencing a fuel-delivery problem similar to the condition addressed by Recall 23V-858 despite my VIN not being included in the recall population. The fuel pump has not yet been confirmed as the cause. I am submitting this complaint so the symptoms and VIN are documented and can be considered in determining whether vehicles outside the current recall population may experience a similar defect.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

For the second time this year, all dash warning lights activated. In April, it was diagnosed as a failed battery, which we replaced. This week, the warning lights came back. The car is at Bobby Rahal Honda now, and they say the fuel injectors are faililng. We have authorized the repair, which will cost $1900+. I have subsequently turned to Dr. Google and Grok, and fuel injector failure is a common, known issue for this model based on searches of NHTSA, Honda forums, and elsewhere--though our VIN is not currently showing any recalls, and our dealer is charging us full price for the repair. This appears to be a widespread problem with the 2017 CR-V, and I would suggest that this has significant safety implications. I would like to see this escalated to a full recall, with reimbursement for repairs already completed and paid for.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

The contact's daughter owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his daughter was sitting at a red light and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle bucked and sputtered and failed to accelerate as intended, before losing power. The check engine, air bag, power train, and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and restarted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where a brake actuator DTC: U0416-68 was retrieved, but the failure could not be duplicated, and the code was cleared. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred months later while driving. The contact stated that 1.5 gallons of coolant was added to the vehicle every month after noticing that the reservoir was empty. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where unknown DTCs were retrieved associated with a compression issue within the engine, and a pressure test was needed. The dealer performed the pressure test, but no fault was found. The failure reoccurred three months later, and the vehicle was taken to the same independent mechanic, where the cause of the failure was not found. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on several occasions, and DTCs: P0302 and P0304 were retrieved. The contact stated that the spark plugs were replaced twice, and the ignition coil and ignition system were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,979.

STEERING

I noticed that the steering on my 2017 Honda CR-V Touring felt heavy, which clearly indicates a malfunction or a safety shutdown of the electric power steering (EPS) system. After performing a thorough diagnostic check using an OBD2 diagnostic tool, the EPS (electric power steering) system is showing a fault with code U0416-68 (VSA system malfunction). The steering. Yes. When turning, I’m putting the lives of others—and my own—at risk. Independent service center. YES, by other people. Several warning lights have been coming on in the dashboard since I bought the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Driver assist problems car braking and stopping without just cause actually causing safety issues. Computer issues. Computer replaced several times without resolving issues. Ongoing Engine issues reported to honda before the extended warranty was up. It wasn’t until after the extended warranty was up that American honda would address it. After numerous visits to different dealers for services finally this year I was told it was a head gasket issue. Honda refused to rectify or let in good faith making me come out of pocket more than 50% and purchase parts and honda refused to help I had to fight w them to get any help. I had to purchase the water pump and timing chain bc they wanted to put the old one on. They gave me 3 different significantly different quotes without reasoning. Then after receiving the car back over a month and a half later the car had safety issues stopping and braking on highway without reason. The car also still was sputtering and having issues w the engine. I called Westport honda (where I purchased it - where I had a lifetime warranty on the engine where they just finished doing to head gasket) they ignored me for 2 weeks letting me drive around w safety issues. Finally they told me to bring it in. After 5 days they checked it in and told me I had engine misfires. I requested all the computer print outs w previous repair but didn’t receive them. I contacted American honda to find out there was a safety recall never done by the dealer. I also found out there was an engine extension not told to me and I had to submit receipts to get reimbursed. Then I had to open a new case since the engine still isn’t fixed and has the same issues and yet Westport honda wants to pass the buck and charge me $3000 for more repairs making me come out of pocket thousands of dollars and have a car still not repaired. Honda should buy back the vehicle or fix and repairs all issues correctly without charging me. Honda is putting me and my child and family at risk!

STEERING

I own a 2017 Honda CR-V Touring AWD, VIN [XXX]. While driving, the steering intermittently feels sticky, notchy, and jerky, like extra friction or sandpaper in the wheel. It is most noticeable at highway speeds during small lane corrections: the wheel momentarily catches or resists, then suddenly releases. This can cause overcorrection and makes it harder to keep a smooth, straight path. The problem does not happen every drive and there is usually no warning light. This matches the well-known “sticky/notchy steering” condition reported on many Honda CR-Vs with electric power steering (EPS) gearboxes. Honda issued safety recall 24V-744 and related service actions covering many 2022–2025 CR-Vs and similar models for a manufacturing defect in the EPS gearbox (worm gear/worm wheel friction and lubrication). A much smaller 2017–2018 recall (18V-663 / Honda 18-103) covered only a tiny number of vehicles for a different EPS gearbox torque-sensor magnet issue; my VIN is not included. My 2017 has the same intermittent sticky/jerky feel that later model years had addressed under recall or TSB, but Honda has not provided coverage for this vehicle. I am concerned this is a safety defect that can worsen and increase crash risk if the steering binds or releases unexpectedly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

All of the lights on the dash board go off. I’ve taken the vehicle to the mechanic and they say that there is nothing wrong. Honda just released recall notice for the Honday CR-C 2017 to update the computer, but my vehicle is not included in the recall. I have been dealing with this issue and the dealerships have said that they have rectified the issue but the problem returns. I think they just disconnect and reconnect the battery which resets but does not fix this problem. I’m shocked that my vehicle is not part of the computer update recall.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

The manufacturer, American Honda, issued a 10-year extended warranty (TSB 19-091) for defective, leaking A/C condensers on the 2017 Honda CR-V. Authorized Honda dealerships (specifically Napleton Honda and Victory Honda) are systematically misdiagnosing consumer vehicles to evade this warranty. Dealership service departments are blaming vehicle system failures on peripheral components (such as "return lines" and "discharge lines") to charge consumers thousands of dollars out of pocket. In my case, I was charged $868.44 and $1,184.49 for these lines, yet independent UV dye testing proved the factory condenser was actively leaking fluid the entire time. The vehicle’s passenger cabin cannot be cooled, causing severe heat discomfort. American Honda corporate case managers are actively protecting these dealer practices by offering minor "goodwill checks" instead of requiring dealers to perform the safety and equipment remedies mandated by the corporate warranty extension. Honda must be investigated for warranty non-compliance and consumer deception regarding this known HVAC system defect.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

The safety driver assist options work periodically ... all the dash lights are on when breaking system is not working properly. While driving with cruise control on the brake system/driver assist options will fail and car will automatically start slowing down. Not very safe!! The front camera seems to be causing the issue.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Car automatically applies brakes for no reason. Happens at least once a month. Beside the startle factor, I am going to cause an accident by someone rear ending me because brakes are being applied for no reason.
