2017 Honda CR-V Fuel System Problems

I have a 2017 CRV 1.5T. I currently have confirmed fuel dilution and a P219F (emission systems problem) code. Records show TSB 18-114 was performed as Honda tried to fix the fuel dilution problem through an ECM software update but it did not fix the issue. They followed it up with TSB 19-067 which was to further update the ECM software. The problem is this was not applied to all CRV 1.5T including mine. This is known ongoing defect and leads to car going into limp mode in highway driving. That is dangerous and a safety hazard. Honda should update the ECM software fix for all Honda CRVs using the 1.5T and replace faulty fuel injectors.

First owner of a newly purchased 2017 Honda CR-V that has been well and regularly maintained. Driving at 25mph in a city and every single warning light and dash light simultaneously came on. Every single one -- brakes, headlights, emergency brake, engine, etc. Eventually codes read off the car's computer showed P0172, P219C, P219F -- all of these codes relate to the fuel injectors. I brought the car to a Honda dealer and they confirmed that all of the fuel injectors needed to be replaced and said the fuel injectors are "faulty" and "from a bad batch." Lots of Honda forums online talking about faulty fuel injectors. A whole thread on 2017 CR-V fuel injector problems can be easily found online along with service bulletins for fuel injector problems (with the code P0172) for similar year, different model Honda vehicles. The dealership confirmed the fuel injector problem but then said they couldn't source the parts despite a "global search" and putting us on a "critical list." We then went to a competent independent mechanic who was able to source Honda OEM fuel injector replacement kit from a different Honda dealership (not sure why the first Honda dealership couldn't get the parts then...) The independent mechanic said the fuel injectors looked "terrible" and "definitely faulty." He sent us home with the old parts, which we have and could supply. Faulty fuel injectors affecting the propulsion system feels unsafe and the fact that Honda told us "you are out of luck" with regard to replacements was especially aggravating. We had no chance to pursue a goodwill repair of the issue even though our independent mechanic did find the parts at Honda in spite of the first dealership's claim of a global search. The service that was performed included replacing all fuel injectors and whatever is in the associated OEM kit. In summary, fuel injector problems caused ALL warning lights to come in, dealership confirmed problem, mechanic repaired, many reports of same issue online.

We are experiencing fule injector issues which causes all the systems to switch off, and has caused issues with the car starting, battery draining and issues in getting the car to accelerate. This car has only 110000 miles and should not be having issues this early.

Vehicle cycled through all of the warnings on the dashboard and lost power when trying to accelerate and engine light came on. Stalled on the side of the highway and had to be towed. Mechanic said the code for the issue was the catalytic converter and O2 sensor.

When driving on the interstate, the car speed went from 75 mph to 10-20 mph over 20 miles. The engine light came on, and the car would not go any faster than 10-20 mph. it was extremely nerve racking trying to get off the interstate and attempt to limp in to Topeka KS. It was very cold that day as well.

Recently, all of the warning lights on the car went off all at once and wouldn’t turn off even if I turn the car off/on. There was no issue leading up to this but after taking it into Honda and getting a second opinion, it is due to faulty fuel injectors and the repair total will be $1,800. The repairs are necessary because of safety issues associated with the fuel injectors. Other Honda vehicles with the same injectors have an extended warranty (150,000 miles) but Honda CRV’s do not. I read 100+ reviews other users having the same issue. I’d like Honda to step in and at least give an extended warranty.

On December 31, on my way to work driving 58mph on the highway, the car slows down in traffic on the highway and the dashboard lights up. I avoided a wreck, narrowly. I put on my flashers and coast to the nearest gas station. I turned the car off and waited 10 minutes or so and proceed to drive home with the flashers on, the car seemed to be ok and I was 10 minutes from my house then the car slows down again to 7 mph so I drove like that with the flashers holding up traffic praying I'd make it home. It stalled crossing the train tracks but I made it home. I called a mechanic that hooked it up to a device to read the codes and He informed me about the fuel injector and that it was common for the make and model of my HONDA CR-V to have this problem. The cost is exorbitant and Honda should bear some if not all of the cost for replacement.

All fuel injectors need to be replaced. I know 2 other people with CRV's that have had the same exact issue and had to have them replaced. It is also all over forums on the internet. Service people at Honda also told me it is a known issue with the fuel injectors in the Honda 4 cylinders until 2023. I have a quote for almost $1700. I currently own 2 Honda CRV's and one is a 2022 so I am expecting that one to eventually need the fuel injectors also. I am bringing the car in for service on 12/15 to have this done. I feel like this should be investigated to bring a recall. When people that work at repair facilities say the only way to bring this to light is to report it to this agency and try to get a recall since Honda isn't going to issue the recall on their own.

1.Please see my letter to Honda. 2.I drove for months with all of my warning lights on, not being able to tell what was actually wrong with my car/note being able to afford to fix my car that isn't even paid off. See letter to Honda. 3.Yes. It has been confirmed by my local Honda dealer as well as an independent service center. 4.I have filed a complaint with Honda. 5.Yes. All of my warning lights in the car would flash/stay on making it very difficult to figure out what the issue actually was. Letter: I am writing to follow up on my recent communication with Honda’s Goodwill Department regarding the fuel injector failure on my 2017 Honda CR-V. This situation has caused significant financial burden & frustration with a brand I have always trusted. Over a year ago, the fuel injectors began intermittently triggering the vehicle’s computer system, despite there being no actual mechanical issue. At that time, Honda acknowledged this was a “common” problem with this model year & advised it was safe to continue driving since the sensor was only barely tripping the system. I hoped Honda would issue a recall or extended warranty, as this is a known and widespread defect. That never occurred. This past weekend, the sensor failed completely & required immediate replacement at a cost of $1,000+—nearly identical to the estimate Honda provided over a year ago. My vehicle has only 96,000 miles, is not yet paid off, & was purchased as a certified pre-owned Honda. These factors are precisely why I have remained loyal to Honda. It is extremely frustrating that this same issue is covered under a recall or extended warranty for the 2018 CR-V, while the 2017 model—despite having the same known defect—is excluded. This inconsistency feels unfair, especially since Honda acknowledged this issue directly. I am requesting reconsideration for assistance. This failure was not due to misuse or neglect but a known defect that occurred prematurely. I hope Honda will stand behind its reputation.

I am writing to formally express my extreme dissatisfaction with the randomly vanishing dashboard, all sorts of warning lights and its recurring issues. I see a recall for 2017 CRV for Fuel injector. I don't see my VIN for fuel injector recalls and most likely my CRV issue with fuel injector. Fuel injector replacement is a major repair. I. I scheduled an appointment with AutoNation Honda Chandler,AZ,to troubleshoot an issue. I believe these issues may stem from a design or manufacturing flaw. I am requesting that Honda cover the full cost of the necessary repairs.

2017 Honda CRV only serviced at Honda dealers and ALL recommended maintenance performed including cleaning the fuel injectors at 50K! Engine was running rough and took it to dealer. Tech found vehicle running very rich, with some slight misfires. Pulled plugs, no cooling system leak, every cylinder running rich, fuel injectors are sticking (cleaned one year ago), spark plugs are heavily fouled. Had to replace all fuel injectors, and all spark plugs at 56K miles. Called Honda because this is a known 2017-18 software problem causing the fuel to run rich "Honda Service Bulletin 19-032" June 18, 2019 and Honda claimed my vehicle was not included in the extended 6yr unlimited miles warranty because I took it in for service before it through the required codes. So because I take good care of my car and pay more for Honda dealers to do the maintenance so my warrenty won't be voided I get screwed by Honda out of $2300!! NHTSA knows this is a true saftey issue. The recorded complaints are massive for this fuel issue. It is a software issue that should have been updated on all the 2017-2018 Honda CRV's to avoid premature replacement of the fuel injectors. Honda has all my vehicle records in their system but couldn't confirm the dealer did the required software updates which the TBS specifically says if the software update is not done it voids the warranty. NHTSA needs to make Honda make a recall and reimburse for all these fuel injectors and spark plugs. Honda also didn't have any loyalty for this being our 5th Honda. I have read this issue can cause a vehicle to stall if not fixed which is a safety issue.

Fuel smell when vehicle is parked overnight. The smell is inside the cabin especially stronger near the rear left passenger door where the filler fuel is located. This has been happening even in summer temperatures, not just cold weather like some people have mentioned in forums or online.

My 2017 Honda CR-V experienced premature and sudden fuel injector failure that I believe is part of a widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 CR-V models. In April, multiple warning lights came on several times (“10-point” dashboard lights). I went to different mechanics, and one recommended a brake fluid flush, which I completed. The warnings continued. Later, while driving, I heard a sudden, harsh crunching sound from the engine area. I immediately pulled over out of concern for safety. The vehicle still moved but did not feel safe to drive, so I cautiously limped it home and canceled clients. I took the vehicle to South Point Honda in Durham, NC. Their diagnosis confirmed that all four fuel injectors had failed, and they quoted $1,679.99. I then had the repair completed at a Honda/Acura specialty shop for $1,273.12. Fuel injectors are not a regular maintenance item, and many other CR-V owners have reported the same problem. These injector failures can cause misfires, loss of power, or engine damage while driving, which is a safety concern. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate premature injector failure in 2017–2019 Honda CR-V models.

The high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump malfunctioned and no, it is not available for inspection upon request. The car all of a sudden got stalling while running at 45 mph and got jerking continuously. After the incident, the car was taken to a dealer for a diagnosis and the dealer inspected that the high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pump got malfunctioned. There were NO warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure and they first appeared when the incident occured.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled on the interstate. The contact was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway. After waiting for a while, the vehicle was restarted with several unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the intake cam, the high-pressure fuel pump, the fuel injectors, and the spark plugs were replaced. The high-pressure test was performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 144,532.

This car has some fuel injector problems. I've replaced them and it's still running very crappy. I've read a lot and seen a lot of people getting their fuel injectors fixed with this year of vehicle and now it smells like it's flooding out and Honda should be covering this. This has been an ongoing issue. I've tried to fix it. It's not working. This is car is a lemon.

My cruise control will not work. Lane departure is not working. All my lights are on in my new vehicle I just purchased. BAD FUEL INJECTORS seem to be the problem. Honda should recall these bad fuel injectors before a serious accident occurs.

All lights on dash coming on. Codes p0172 and p0303 pop up on obd scanner. Mafs , spark plugs, ignition coils and air filters all replaced. Car goes into limp mode. 124,800 miles. Dealer says fuel injectors failed and needs replacing, research shows this is a common issue for the. 2017 crv Honda edition. Mpg never dropped , remained. 33.1. When codes cleared, car functions like normal.

To Whom It May Concern, I am reporting a serious safety concern with my 2017 Honda CR-V related to the fuel/propulsion system. While driving, the vehicle will suddenly stop accelerating. At the same time, multiple warning messages appear on the dash, including alerts that the driver assist system, cruise control, and brake system are not functioning, along with other system warnings. This issue happens without warning and has occurred multiple times. It creates a dangerous situation, especially at highway speeds or in traffic, since the vehicle loses the ability to accelerate and several critical safety systems appear disabled. I am very concerned that this may be a defect in the fuel/propulsion system or an associated electrical/control system that could pose a risk to myself, my passengers, and other drivers. Please advise on the next steps for inspection and resolution.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power while the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle stalled. No warning light was illuminated. Several local dealers were contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
