My daughter left her house to go to an appointment in statesboro, an hour away. When she proceeded onto HWY 196, the dashboard lit up with: check engine light, TMPS light, Traction Control light, Power steering control light. The speed limit on this road is 40MPH she was unable to accelerate over 20 mph. She immediately took it to an Orielly auto parts store on hwy 196 to have them to diagnose the check engine light. The veri scan presented a code P0087 indicates that the FuelRail/ System pressure was too low for a predetermined period of time. The most likely solution stated to Replace High Pressure Fuel Pump. This is the first time this has occurred. This is the same issue that a recalled was done in 2023 on the 2013-2016 CRV, but my VIN was not part of that recalled. I called my local honda dealer to verify if my vehicle was part of the recalled and was told it wasn't. I hope we can get this resolved before someone gets hurt or my family get in an accident.

There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump module had failed and needed to be replaced.

My car has had trouble starting when sitting for long periods of time or in moderate heat. I've also noticed the gas per mile has decreased. The 2017 year of my car has a recall for the fuel pump. Mine is just one year earlier but my mechanic says it could also be the fuel pump. I have less than 80K miles on the car and I've seen that on the 2017-2022 years with the recall, this problem happens around the 75K-80K mile mark on the car. I think my 2016 should also be recalled for the fuel pump.
I was driving to work and all of the lights on my dash came on and the vehicle would not go over 15 mph. I had semis passing me trying to get my car back home. I had it towed to the nearest Honda dealership where all of my Hondas are repaired, John Hinderer in Heath, OH. They received the vehicle and called me to tell me that it was the high pressure fuel pump that was not working. I inquired if it would be covered under warranty and told me due to the age of the vehicle it was not under warranty, any longer even the the miles were very low. The vehicle is a 2016 but only has 32,170 miles on it. So, I asked how that could happen with a vehicle with so little miles, he did have an answer. He quoted me $1,800.00 to fix it, telling me that the part alone was $1,200.00. After I got off the phone with him I researched the part and found it on Honda's corporate website for $559.43. I sent him a text message showing the price that I found it for and sent a message to the dealership on line. I have yet to hear from them, but they still have my vehicle. I did a little more research this morning and found that certain 2016 CRVs have a recall for the Fuel Pump Module. It is NHTSA Recall Number 23v-858, but my VIN # is not listed with a recall. I believe that my Vehicle should be included in this recall. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The 2016 CR-V was operating normally, when trying to accelerate from a stop at a stoplight the vehicle began to hesitate and would not accelerate at a normal or acceptable rate if I had needed to maneuver out of the way. the engine recovered briefly after that and allowed me to slowly accelerate to 45Mph when it repeated to hesitate and stop accelerating feeling like it was about to shut off. The check engine light along with others came on at this point. I was able to make it to a shop where they diagnosed fuel pump failure at 127,619 miles (we are the second owner buying the car from family so we know that it is the original fuel pump in the vehicle.

fuel pump issue, my model and year is in recall batch for this issue, but my vin is not being recalled
I have been 2x stopping at light then started to start back up do to green light and lost power for a second in the gas pedal. Then it kicks in!
The contact owns a 2016 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle briefly hesitated before losing motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to be restarted. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the Oxygen sensor. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.
I was driving up a hill and the car started chugging and didn't want to finish going up the hill. Several indicator lights went on: Malfunction (check engine), Tire Pressure monitoring system, Electric Power Steering, Vehicle Stability Assist, and the All Wheel Drive. A slight burning smell started coming from the engine. I took it for auto repair and found that I need a new high pressure fuel pump and fuel injector. After searching on the Internet, I see that this is an issue in Honda vehicles and there are many recalls for it but not my vehicle. I also called the Honda dealership to check with them but my VIN number is not covered. Considering I have under 80,000 miles on my vehicle, I don't think this should be having this issue. Plus, it looks like there are several people across the US with the same model as me having the same issue. Considering how quickly it happened, that it is a safety issue, how expensive it is to repair, and that many people are having the same issue in chat forums across the Internet, I think it should be on the recall list.

Car is stalling and won’t accelerate over 45 mph.
I smelt gas while driving, the smell continued. The underbody of my gar was spraying gasoline due to a faulty quick connect fitting or fuel line. Leaking gasoline is fire/explosion risk. I received no warning signals nor did the leak trigger any messages from the system.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his cousin was driving 30 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning. His cousin had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they performed a diagnostic and discovered that the fuel pump had failed. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
I first detected a smell of gasoline at the rear of the vehicle. Appox. one week later, I began to smell gasoline inside the vehicle. I've taken the car to the Honda dealership and I'm awaiting the repair. The dealer service adviser said the problem was found to be one or more failed seals in the fuel line. I was advised by the dealer not to drive the vehicle until it is repaired. I looked for Service Bulletins for this vehicle, and I found several related to "the smell of gasoline" around the fuel tank. The vehicle is still at the dealership for repair.
I WAS GETTING ON TO THE HIGHWAY ABOUT TO MERGE AND MY CAR JUST WENT INTO A SUDDEN DECREASED POWER AND NO POWER OVER 2500 RPM. *TR
ENGINE MISFIRING *TR
MY CRV HAS A DRAINED BATTERY 3 TIMES IN A YEAR, AFTER PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR AS LITTLE AS TWO DAYS. VERY UNDENIABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I CHARGED IT OVER NIGHT, TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS FINE!
MY 2016 HONDA CR-V RECENTLY GOT 21 MPG ON A 300+ HIGHWAY MILE TRIP. FROM DAY 1, THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE OF 32 MPG HAS NEVER BEEN REACHED. IT HAS STEADILY DECLINED TILL I AM GETTING 21 MPG. I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE WHERE HONDA ADMITTED THAT VEHICLES PRODUCED IN THE YEARS 2016-2019 CR-V'S WERE EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT MPG DECLINES DUE TO A DEFECT THAT WAS ALLOWING OIL TO MIX WITH GAS. THIS DEFECT AFFECTED AUTOS IN COLD CLIMATES, INCLUDING NEBRASKA WHERE I LIVE. THIS ARTICLE EXPLAINED THAT HONDA WAS NOT REGARDING THEM AS RECALLS YET, BUT THAT THEY WERE BEING SENT BACK TO THE FACTORY FOR REPAIRS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY PLAYED DUMB, SUGGESTING THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON MY DIME. I WANT ANSWERS, AND NOW.
