ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
All the warning lights randomly turned on while driving. I took it an independent mechanic and a Honda certified dealership, and both produced the same diagnosis, a replacement of fuel injectors. P0172 and P0301, P0302 The symptoms, noises, lights are all consistent with TSB19-037, which applies to 2017 and 2018 Honda CRVs. From online forums that have experience the issues around 60-80K miles, my CRV having 72K miles is consistent with the failed fuel injectors.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Fuel injector was replaced part number 06160-5pa-305. It is available to be inspected and I have the failed parts in my possession. This was inspected and identified by an independent service center. Power steering system problem light on main dash alerting with break system alert. The car had been driven immediately prior with no warning signs and no alert lights on the dash and almost a full tank of fuel. Vehicle was parked and running when alerts appeared. Even though the car was in park it rolled forward when foot was taken off the brake and required the emergency break to be used. This put my safety at risk because had this happened 2 minutes prior I would have been driving in a school zone where there was heavy traffic and steering and braking are essential. I plan to take the car to the Honda dealership to have the work inspected. The vehicle has 68,001 miles on it at the time of the issue.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
"My 2019 Honda CR-V experienced a 'False Positive' trigger of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) while driving over a metal road grate. The vehicle applied hard, emergency-level braking without any actual obstacle in the path of travel. I am aware of the active NHTSA investigation EA24003 regarding this issue. I have taken the vehicle to a dealer, but they were unable to replicate the issue during a standard test drive on asphalt and cited a brake fluid code as the only finding, which does not explain the sensor misidentification." I am bringing the car back to the dealership since I have video proof of what is happening but they were reluctant to do anything about it and said there may be a 180 dollar charge to re align the sensors which I shouldnt be charged for something that is a safety issue. This incident has happened several times over the year. About 4 times total

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
We were driving yesterday evening (02/26) when the anti-collision break light flashed and the vehicle force stopped with without any obstacles in front of us. We were fortunate that a car wasn’t immediately behind us to have caused a collision. This was the first instance of failure. We haven’t reported to manufacture or others yet. We looked along the front number and tires thinking maybe it sensed something but nothing was there.

ENGINE
My 2019 Honda CRV just recently reached 120000 miles and turned on the check engine light, after doing a diagnostic at the dealer it turned out to be a blown head gasket which the 1.5 engine is notorious for and Honda hasn’t put out a recall out for this costly repair. It’s a very common issue that needs to be addressed by Honda before more owners have to spend their hard earned money on repairs for a known issue from the factory on these vehicles.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Problem with emissions system on my 2019 Honda CRV. Car was diagnosed and recommended to replace fuel injectors. This is a pervasive problem with Honda vehicles with a previous recall for Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline. Honda needs to recall any of their vehicles with this problem and fix it. In addition pervasive issues with their infotainment system which includes navigation. I have had the system go out when using the navigation option while in heavy traffic. Again both of these problems are well documented online with other owners but nothing being done by Honda to remedy either situation.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving down a city street going approximately 20 mph when the emergency automatic brake engaged and brought my vehicle to a complete stop. There was nothing in front of my vehicle, and no other cars in front of me for blocks. The car behind me had to brake abruptly to avoid hitting me and honked at me. It was very frightening. It could easily have caused a collision. My daughters were in the car as well. This occurred in my 2019 Honda CRV all wheel drive. This occurred on January 31st between 4-4:30 pm. There were no warning light prior to the incident. The brake warning light that appears in red above the steering wheel flashed, as it always does when this system kicks in. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I called my local Honda dealer. They said they could look at it, but they would possibly not be able to tell me anything and would charge me $95.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Dashboard lights not operating. Gear shifter locked Nav unit works, blinkers work, brake lights work, seat warmers work, car starts. It has been suggested to us that the brake light switch might be bad. We’re told this is a common problem with 2019 CRVs.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
The vehicle began experiencing repeated engine misfires, hesitation, and loss of power during normal driving. The issue was diagnosed as failing fuel injectors, which is a known issue on this generation of Honda CR-V. The failure causes sudden hesitation and reduced engine power, particularly during acceleration and at intersections, creating a safety hazard in traffic. In some instances there was a strong fuel odor, raising concern for a potential fuel leak and fire risk. The injectors failed well before normal service life and required replacement. Honda has not issued a recall for many affected vehicles despite widespread reports of similar failures across multiple model years. This defect presents a safety risk due to possible engine stalling, loss of power, and potential fuel leakage.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65-70 MPH, the fuel injectors became inoperable. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the back over prevention camera was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
The fuel injector valves started leaking resulting in a P0172 Rich Fuel mixture diagnostic code. When fuel injector valves leak gasoline into the engine oil it can cause an engine fire, severe damage to the engine and catalytic converter. My daughter was driving the car when this happened which makes me very upset that a known safety issue has not been addresses by the NHTSA or Honda. This effects millions of CRVs which is why Honda is fighting a recall and why the NHTSA must step in and fine Honda and force a recall. The potential for engines catching on fire should result in an immediate recall. When I talked to the Honda shop manager he told me that he is seeing several CRVs every week with faulty fuel injectors and quite frequently bad catalytic converters. This is a well-documented problem which makes me wonder why nothing has been done.

POWER TRAIN
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 25 MPH and turning left onto another street, the instrument cluster illuminated with several unknown warning lights, and the vehicle lost motive power. The driver was able to coast the vehicle off the road. The engine was still running, but while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact and her husband picked her son up and saw a trail of dark fluid leading up to where the vehicle was stopped. There was a puddle and another trail of dark fluid underneath the vehicle, draining from the front of the vehicle. The contact’s son had heard an abnormal popping sound when the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with transmission failure. The local dealer was contacted and advised to tow the vehicle to their location. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, and it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and advised the contact that there were no other options to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My father's Honda CRV, which I was driving, suffered a computer reset due to a low voltage drop. This was, in turn, due to a failing fuel injector. The computer reset disabled many safety systems and core systems, including the parking brake (which is electronic), as well as adaptive cruise control, the tire monitoring system and blind spot sensors, tire inflation warning, hill start feature, and many others. There were no warning signs prior to the reset. After calling the dealership and reporting these issues, they still advised me to drive into the dealership for service. Upon doing so, they diagnosed the failing fuel injector. At this point, I had done research on the issue and found hundreds of similar reports concerning Honda CRVs and models with the 1.5L Turbo engine. Despite warranty extensions for some vehicles, the dealership claims that our VIN is not covered under the warranty extension. This is obviously a manufacturing fault and a safety issue. Please investigate Honda and require them to, at a minimum, extend their warranties to all affected vehicles with this defect. We have detailed maintenance records at the same dealership we bought the car from. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I am including the dealership's diagnostic.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Shortly after parking car in garage and with garage door left open for ~ five minutes before closing, a strong fuel smell filled garage [where there are no other fuel sources]. Thoroughly inspected floor, on hands and knees, under car and there was no liquid on the floor. Toxic fuel smell unsafe for humans. Dealer could not duplicate issue yet said fuel mix ratio was out of specification yet just short of the tolerance to illuminate Engine Service Light. No other inspections have been made. Many online forums show 2019 CR-V owners with same symptoms and that Honda is investigating.
