FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
All warning dash lights intermittently appear and then turn off sometimes within hours, and sometimes days later. This issue has been occurring for the past two years. The first diagnosis was the battery which was replaced a year and a half ago. This issue represented again a few months after the battery was replaced and has started to happen more frequently over the past few months. I took my vehicle in to be inspected, and was told a misfire code was showing up for the fuel injectors. My vehicle is only 5 years old and this issue started when it was only 3 years old. Fuel injectors should last longer than 5 years and certainly longer than 3 years. I am aware of other CRV’s receiving an extended warranty on fuel injectors, and I have read of several other customers having the same issue with fuel injectors being the diagnosis. It seems that this issue should be considered a recall, as the safety features do not operate when these warning lights pop up.

STEERING
The steering wheel is lightly locking-up instead of returning to center position as it should be. The issue happens occasionally and the steering wheel can be returned to the center by putting some force to it.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I put my Honda CRV Hybid away in my garage while it was running on battery power. It is silent when not in gear and operating on battery power. The key fob was in the car. I forgot to shut off the power switch before getting out of the car. When the battery drained, the engine started, filling the garage with exhaust, creating an extremely dangerous, and perhaps life threatening condition.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
After waiting in car, dash board went crazy with all warning lights scrolling. Two dealers refused to take car because the dash stopped. This happened 3 times. Third time, Autozone x2 and Firestone, independent of one another said computer issue and that a code for rich fuel was coming up. On sixth check, mechanic private used code reader after check engine light came on. Dash went berserk twice. They refused to touch vehicle stating it’s electrical. Took it to dealer who kept car for five weeks. ‘Can’t get an active code. We can start with fuel injectors’. ‘Maybe’ that will stop dash board issue. Now, five days after this diagnosis, dealer states that the tech DID find drop in voltage happening intermittently. When I asked why I was not told this originally - he cited mis communication. Car runs great. No repairs done yet as no one knows what to do. 114,000 miles. Highway. I am on several forums and this is not an isolated issue. Help please

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The driver side rear view mirror vibrates when driving on highways and the images feel blurry and distorted. The driver-side rear-view mirror feels like it has some kind of power and it does not feel normal. Due to the constant vibration of the mirror, the driver is not able to focus the vehicle behind properly. The passenger side rear view mirror is fine. Only the driver side mirror has an issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Defective fluid injector in multiple CRV 2017. Honda has discontinued the original part and updated the part along with the part number. This injector issue disables KEY safety features of our CR-V's when it occurs. An injector issue should NOT cause safety features of the CR-V to stop working (ex. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, TPS, Hill Start Assist, Braking, etc...) In addition to the disabling key safety features, some CR-V's have reportedly gone into limp mode while at highway speeds. If this occurs to you while you have a 18 wheeler on your rear, you could potentially be in a serious injury/life event.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I parked my car after my lunch break, set the parking brake, turned off the car, and then locked the car from the door passengers side door exterior handle after grabbing my bag (to be clear I did walk around the car, so I’m positive the car was off.) and as always checked via the back door handle. The car was fully turned off and locked. I went to back to my office. When I left for the day several hours later I found the car still locked but now running, the parking brake disabled, but no message that the keys couldn’t be detected or that the car was in accessory mode despite the fact my keys were sitting outside of the car near the back drivers side wheel along with my bag a range too far to unlock the doors much less be a sensor for the car . The hood was hot to the touch so it had been running for a while. The keys were in my hands as I walked up to the vehicle so the keys weren’t accidentally left in the car. My only other key was home where only I have access to it. The car was otherwise undisturbed. It’s a well patrolled area and there is almost always at least one employee in the immediate area. I use the remote start on routine basis so I know even if I managed an impossible feat of accidentally hitting the remote start sequence correctly when I was outside of the range of the fob it shouldn’t still be running. As I know for a fact that my car turns off the car if started via remote start after 20 minutes and between my gas gage and heat from the hood the car had been running for a while. I was very lucky I was not parked in an enclosed garage. I did turn the car off, let it cool down, before restarting the car without issues. The only other possible symptom is the car has been randomly disconnecting CarPlay for several months prior to this.

STEERING
Sticky Steering, steering wheel seems to get locked into place at low speeds and highway speeds requiring more force to get it "unstuck" which may cause the vehicle to jerk out of the lane or off the road.

STEERING
While driving back from holiday dinner with family I noticed I was having to correct the driving significantly more than usual. When I would correct left or right the steering wheel would visually jerk. While taking an exit ramp I had to correct the steering and actually got some body roll. For a moment I was worried we were going to roll over. I took the car out the next day and the steering wheel is sticking while driving. Imagine of you were driving in the middle lane of a three-lane highway. If you were to steer into a right turn the car will continue to make the right turn without assistance from the driver. In fact it will often continue to steer in to the right lane instead of straightening out to enter the left lane like normal.

The rear windshield in my 2022 CR-V EX randomly shattered when we opened the driver's side door. There was no impact from any objects as the vehicle was stationary all night. We believe it may be related to others' issues with HR-V's as well with the rear windshield randomly shattering.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving my 2021 Honda CR-V vehicle at residential speed (exact speed unknown). Car suddenly stopped in street causing me to jerk forward in driver seat. As the car stopped, I saw the orange BRAKE symbol appear in front dash. I was accelerating at time of incident. I was not using the brakes. I was injured with severe whiplash. Pain so severe that I also made an error with administration of a pain reliever when I arrived home. This put me and my passenger at risk due to the failure of what I learned was the CMBS in my vehicle. If another car was following too closely behind me at the time the car abruptly stopped, this could have been a more serious accident. This incident happened today 11/22/2023 at approximately 11:30 am EST. I have not had an opportunity to contact the dealer as I have been in pain since it happened. Also, a few weeks ago, I noticed the BRAKE symbol appeared while driving while accelerating. The car jerked but it did not fully stop. Date of that incident unknown. The car has not yet been inspected by anyone since today’s incident. I found information about the CMBS issue for my car type after searching for a known recall online this evening.

STEERING
Around 6600 miles I started noticing the steering sticking and require more than normal force to move the wheel. At first this was noticable about 80% of the time when driving at highway speeds (~65mph). When you are going straight and have to make a slight adjustment to stay in the lane the wheel would "stick" or "lock" and require more force to get past the sticky point. This causes a small jerk when the wheel is released. After getting past that point the wheel felt normal. Over the past couple of months around (8000 miles) I started noticing it at slower speeds while in traffic (~45mph). No driving assistance features were turned on and there have been no warning lights. I have an appointment with my Honda dealership this week to have a look at it is happening more frequently. Not only does this make for a terrible driving experience, but the force required to unstick the wheel could cause the car to over adjust if not careful. Before posting here I have read multiple accounts of this same issue with the 2023 CRV Hybrid with some explaining that the dealer had to replace the steering gearbox and EPS motor assembly because the steering gearbox was found to have an internal malfunction.

ENGINE
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving uphill at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal grinding sound was coming from the vehicle. The failure persisted and the vehicle stalled with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact called a friend who assisted with having the vehicle towed to the residence. The contact called a local dealer and an independent mechanic who declined to service the vehicle. The contact then called Honda of Cleveland (2701 S Lee Hwy, Cleveland, TN 37311) who agreed to service the vehicle. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer and the contact was informed that a blown engine rod had caused the failure. The manufacturer agreed to cover half the cost of a new engine while the contact paid the remaining balance for a new engine. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 69,784.
