FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have a 2017 Honda CRV with 1.5 turbo with only 89,651 miles. When we started the vehicle every warning light on the dash was on , including parking brake, lane departure, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist . So we didn't know if it was safe to even drive the car home. So I had to have a family member bring a code reader so i I could see if we could drive it home. It only had 3 codes, P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Dtc severity 2 of 3, P0302 cylinder 2 Misfire detected and another P0302 cylinder misfire. Had no codes of all the warning lights that were flashing on the dash. I cleared the codes with the code reader and all warning lights went off. So we drove it home. The next day we sent it to a Honda dealer and they performed a software update and a air-fuel test on all 4 cylinders. The vehicle did fail air-fuel test. The Honda dealer recommends new fuel injectors at a cost of $ 1264.00 . I feel there is a defect in the fuel injectors if they only lasted 89,650 miles. Also Honda might have a software problem if bad fuel injectors makes all the warning lights go on .

Dear NTHSA, Since last fall/winter my 2017 Honda CRV air conditioning system makes noise and has stopped cooling when its hot outside. This is a relatively new car with low mileage (24,000). I am taking it to my local dealer www.pierceyhonda.com for diagnosis. Are you aware of air conditioner problems in newer Honda CRVs like mine that are failing to cool on hot days like what I am reporting. Please help at your earliest convenience. Sincerely 2017 Honda CRV Owner

During a routine drive, I heard what sounded like a piece of plastic fall into my cup holder area. I glanced into the cup holders and surrounding center console area, but did not observe anything that may have fallen into it. The vehicle continued to operate as normal so I continued to my destination. When I arrived, I went to put my vehicle in park, but then noticed that my gear shifter actuation button was missing. I was only able to get the vehicle into neutral, but not park or reverse. I looked down on the drivers side floor, but did not see the missing actuation button. My next thought was to get out of my seat and look for it under my seat. When I took my foot off of the brake pedal, the vehicle started to roll because I was on a slight grade and still in neutral. I then set the parking brake to hold the vehicle while I searched for the missing button. I finally found the button and the spring that goes with it laying on the drivers side floor almost under the seat. I observed the actuator and could see where it was actually broke, but I was still able to insert it back into the gear shifter handle and put the car into park and shut it off. To get home later, I had to wrap some electrical tape around the button so that it would not fall out again. When I got home, I could not turn my car off after parking because the electrical tape was preventing the actuation button from fully disengaging. I later removed the tape and covered the entire shifter knob with a small sock to hold the actuation button in. Currently looking into recalls and repairs.

I purchased this vehicle on 10-9-20, and in late January or early February, I pushed the start button, and it clicked. Then, on the second try, it started. It has gotten progressively worse. It took about 10 minutes of trying at one point yesterday before it started. When this happens, it can start on the first try the next several times before it starts having trouble again. A friend has a Honda Fit, and had the same issues. The dealer replaced the starter, and that worked for a bit, then she had the starter button replaced, and hasn't had issues since. Some time after this, she received a recall notice for the button, and is now waiting on reimbursement. I'm wondering if there will be a recall on the CR-V as well, but currently, I see that there are no unrepaired recalls on this vehicle.

From 4/12/21 till 6/18/21 have had intermittently, all safety warnings lights on dash roll constantly while driving. Usually for 1-3 days, then it stops. Brought into dealership 3 times. First time, 4/12/21 battery changed at 41,525 miles. Second time, 5/1/21, they said warning light not on when they turn the car on, but they checked it out anyway. Third time 6/14-15/21, 43,293 miles, they kept my car, said last software update wasn't completed. On 6/18/21 the safety warning lights came back on. They have not answered my question, because this is happening, is my car safe to drive? My concern is, the warnings lights are telling me there is a problem, but the dealership is not. So are these safety features working, or disabled while they stay on.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
i was driving in town at a speed of 35 mph when my car suddenly applied the brakes very hard and nearly stopped the vehicle. a warning alarm sounded at the same time. There were no other vehicles or objects within several blocks of my vehicle. I took the vehicle to Honda on Grand in Elmhurst IL where I purchased it new on 7-20-19 and reported the problem. they inspected the vehicle and could not find a problem. i looked online to find many people are having the exact same problem with this model. From what I read it appears to be a software problem with the adaptive cruise control. Honda is not acknowledging any problem at this time. My vehicle has 9480 miles on it and has never been in an accident. This is a serious safety issue and could easily cause an accident!

So I went to my Honda dealership (Doylestown, PA) today with issues of my oil lamp going on (for a few days). The oil was low (it seemed to burn real quick) and adding additional oil was the item that was performed on my vehicle. However the service representative told me to come back after I have driven for 1000 additional miles for them to check and see if the issue is the Piston Rings. Which he stated may run at least $3000. So I did some research and noticed that a recall (recall number KF6) was created for engines issues for Honda CRV 2015 (mgr Feb. 8 2015 - July 28, 2016). My SUV was mgr on April 2015. I wanted to see if it's possible that there is an issue with my vehicle and this recall.
