ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I bought my CRV touring used with 90,000 miles in July of 2022. I’ve had nothing but issues with fuel economy and the car feeling sluggish and held back because it’s not running properly along with getting every warning light on the dash that’s possible when it’s having the issue. P0172 is the code I get and my dealership said it’s the fuel injectors. It is a known and problematic issue that should be resolved by Honda for free because it is faulty. I was quoted $1,388 just to replace the injectors but they’re on back order.

ENGINE
The oil consumption of this vehicle is extremely high and has progressively gotten worse to the point it has become undrivable. I have to put oil in every other day. It's completely not okay to make and sell faulty vehicles

ENGINE
Ever since the fuel pump was replaced by the recall, the car has had a delayed start. Recently the car started but when pit in drive the car stalls. The car does not reliably run, and can stall at any moment.. We have been informed by the dealership that it is now the fuel pump motor that has failed. Seems to me that this is part of the same problem.

STEERING
The steering gearbox on our 2018 Honda CR-V has been malfunctioning for the last two months, causing the steering wheel to creak and pull toward the center whenever making left turns, especially sharp turns. After releasing the steering wheel from a left turn, the steering wheel jerks back to the center position suddenly, affecting the vehicle's direction. Through online research, we discovered that Honda issued a recall bulletin numbered 18-103 to address this issue, but our VIN was not included in that recall. We also found through our research many other 2018 Honda CR-V owners that have experienced the same problem, but their VINs were also not included in the recall. Upon inspection by a service technician at our local dealership, they confirmed that the steering gearbox was faulty and needed replacing, but after submitting a "goodwill request" to have the service provided, we were denied due to the mileage and age of our vehicle. We believe this to be an unfair and unsafe situation that Honda should remedy for the safety of our family.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The steering moves left or right unexpectedly. A jerking motion is felt and a clunk noise is heard. The symptoms and offered solution are identical to Honda Service Bulletin 18-103. Supposedly our vehicle (VIN) is not included in the known recall for this safety hazard. We believe they have not identified all 2018 CRV's with this faulty steering box. Neither the Honda dealership nor Honda America have been responsive to this safety issue.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I bought this vehicle few weeks ago from the Honda Bellevue, Washington state. After one week or more, all warning signal were presented and we could smell strong gasoline inside cabin when all windows were closed. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they couldn't figure out the problem but only updated the software for me. After the checkup, me and my family smelled gasoline twice. I am so worry about it because I have used this vehicle to deliver my 8 year old son to school and other sport activties.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The driver's side mirror has a distorted image. The mirror also vibrates at high speeds. The vibration appears to be in the mirror glass, rather than the mirror housing. The distorted image and the vibration makes it very disorienting, distracting, and dangerous to drive the vehicle. Passenger side mirror appears to not be impacted. Many other people report the same issue online: https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/possible-recall-vibrating-driver-side-mirror.234801/

SEAT BELTS
The Driver's side seat belt would sound and feel like it latched but then when pressure was applied to the seat belt, the belt would unlatch. This happens at least once a day when driving. Having a seatbelt become unlatched while driving is incredibly unsafe and troublesome. I brought the car to the dealer and they confirmed that the seatbelt became unlatched when they tested the phenomenon. I also looked it up on Honda's recall list and it looks like CR-Vs from 2017-2020 have had this problem and many have been recalled. However, it seems as though my vehicle was not part of the recall.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On 2 separate occasions the car braked on its own one time so severely my seat belt activated. Brake light flashed on dash both times Luckily no one was behind me or it would have been an accident. First time it happened as we drove on the interstate. On both occasions there were no cars in front of us to warrant the car to break. It does it on its own

ENGINE
Loud grinding noise when starting a cold engine. Honda dealer replicated noise and stated that it was the VTC Actuator-which needed to be replaced along with the Cam Chain for a total of $1,392.23 before the Florida 7% sales tax of $97.46 totaling$1,489.69. Other manufacturing years for Honda received a recall notice. I believe that my 2014 Honda CR-V should be included in that recall so that the dealer may reimburse me for this acknowledged defect in the Honda engine.
