Recall was issued a year ago on 12/18/23. Honda said they would contact me when the part was available. Have not heard from Honda and when I called they said the part was not available. My car might stop working on the highway endangering my life and the safety of others.

Actual recall still not done , since 2023

I was driving with my wife and 2 children on the highway in our 2018 Honda CRV and the sunroof randomly shattered, raining glass on us in the car. Luckily nobody was injured, but we could have been cut or crashed. Dealer and Honda deny any issue. It was inspected by insurance reps and body repair shop. I opened claim for this through all state claim# [XXX]. There were no symptoms of the problem prior to the incident. It looks like others have had issues with Honda HRV and CRV: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This recall 23V-858 was issued in mid-December 2023. Honda has not offered the necessary steps to correct the problem as of this email. The primary concern is in the language of the recall that states "If the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury." My concern is that appears that there is no monitoring of the recalls that NHTSA issues and therefore, apparently no reason for the manufacturer to comply. If this defect can lead to the consequences that NHTSA itself warn of, it is hard to understand why 14 months has elapsed with no corrective action. We would like to make our vehicle safe again as soon as possible

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 10 MPH, the check engine warning light flashed on and off and the vehicle momentarily lost motive power and would not properly accelerate. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000(Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 61,300.

The 2018 Honda Crv driver side mirror replacement parts are.too magnified than the original mirror when purchased the vehicle. The passenger side mirror is this correct mirror as originally purchased the vehicle. It's a safety concern as it is constant balancing of looking into a magnified glass mirror and then a more distant one and causes dizziness. Honda can replace the part but the part is the incorrect (too magnified) mirror and should be an expedited recall.

I have a recall on my Honda CR-V since December of 2023 how come the parts still not available by now, I am told that it is dangerous to drive because car can stop on the HI way causing an accident. lets get the parts faster then 9 mounths

ALL malfunction indicator lights would go on at the same time intermittently. This caused safety systems to stop working and was a SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE for my family. Diagnostics at my local Honda dealer diagnosed code P0303 Cylinder Misfire/Leaking Injectors. This has been a common problem amongst various 2016-2019 Honda vehicles, and some of them have had extended warrranty coverage by Honda, however, not my 2018 CRV. The fuel injectors needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,621.18. This was a known problem at Honda, and my vehicle should have been covered with an extended warranty. Fuel injectors should not have to be replaced so early in the life cycle ( and relatively low mileage ) of a vehicle driven with care.

Without any warning, vehicle will brake with no traffic in sight, or whenever it decides the car needs braking. I'm afraid I am going to be rear ended at some point. This has happened several times since purchasing the vehicle.

The vehicle has 54,000 miles and just this week the steering is sticking at the center position and it requires more effort to pull the steering wheel left or right. It’s a constant issue when driving over 40mph! I went on line to several forums and it seems this issue is occurring on 2017-2018 CRV’s with similar mileage of 50k on the vehicle. My VIN isn’t showing a recall yet on this, so I felt it was important to notify the NHTSA because I feel this may lead to a significant safety hazard. I have an appointment next week to have a Honda dealership look into the steering problem. I also saw that several of the CRV owners have spent $5,000 out of pocket to fix the sticking steering! I’m hoping Honda understands my model vehicle is suffering from a significant safety problem and puts out a recall to fix it? Thank you for the incredible work you perform to keep us safer from manufacturing defects!

I was driving towards a metal plate in the road, and the emergency braking mechanism engaged, stopping me suddenly with no warning. Luckily the car behind me was able to stop and didn't rear-end me.

The fault code P0172: System too Rich (Bank 1) has resulted in loss of all Advanced Safety features, as well as the electric parking brake becoming inoperable.

Engine failure while driving on the highway. This is related to the oil dilution issue with the 1.5 turbo engines on our 2018 CRV. Valve got destroyed. Honda dealer replaced the cylinder head under warranty at no cost to us.

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.

The wiring harness that runs the electric lock on the back doors is faulty. I suspect it is because the wiring harness is too tight, and when the back doors are opened repeatedly it wears on the wires and eventually causes the wires to break. This means that the back door locks become manual locks. I think this is a mild safety issue because we have small children and it makes it difficult to get them in and out of the car. The problem was reported to the Honda dealership, and to an independent mechanic, both of whom reviewed the problem and confirmed it. The vehicle has not been inspected by Honda, the police, or insurance. There are no warning messages. The symptom is merely that the door lock ceases to function. This issue first appeared for us about five years after purchase of the vehicle (we purchased the vehicle new). We had the issue repairs once, and but it has happened again. When I google this issue, there are many forum posts with people experiencing the same issue (I would say it's a "known issue" for this vehicle).

Vehicle applied brakes for no apparent reason. Took it to dealer who said they made a repair, however the same issue has occurred since. Must disable AEB each time I get in car for fear it will try to brake in heavy traffic and I will get rear ended.

Multiple lights on dash and car would not go. My car could not be driven because of the risk of cutting off and someone hitting me. I took my car to the dealership and had the same problem as my other Honda back in 2022.

I bought this car used from a dealership about a week ago and have noticed that the steering wheel sticks to the left and right when I'm going around gentle corners. It makes a clicking noise and sticks for a second and I have to pull it back into position around the corner. It feels very unsafe and I'm disappointed that I'm going to have to take it back to a dealership so quickly after purchasing it. A small amount of research shows that this is a very common and concerning issue that people are having and I hope Honda does something about it soon! Please recall and fix the issue.

Today, October 25 was the fourth time my 2018 Honda CRV abruptly braked and stopped without warning. Today I was driving in a construction zone, and I was approaching metal plates on the roadway. I was traveling about 15-20mph when my car abruptly stopped. I was almost rear-ended by the truck driving behind me. The first time was in a construction area with a metal plate on the roadway and I was traveling 25mph when my CRV abruptly brakes without warning and stopped. Again, I almost got rear-ended. The car behind me brakes hard and swerved i to the other lane to avoid a collision and then honked at me when passing. Other times I am driving on the roadway, traveling 40mph when my car abruptly brakes but there isn’t an object in front of me. I’ve called the dealer and made an appointment for 10/26/23 to see why my CRV forward collision mitigation is misfiring. The technician will drive in the construction zone. I’ve driven in the same construction zone without any previous problem-today was a misfire. What if I’m driving at freeway speed of 65-70 and my CRV brakes suddenly without reason? This is a serious situation-with fatal consequences. My dashcam may have picked it up. I haven’t checked.

Most recent issue occurred 10/25/23 with 2018 CRV. Traveling 15-20mph and approached a metal plate in the roadway in a construction area when car abruptly applied breaks without warning and car came to complete stop, almost causing me to be rear-ended by truck behind me. This is multiple occurrence. About a year ago, same issue happened when traveling 25mph and approached a metal plate in the road with asphalt surrounding it. No cars were slowly down nor impacted by the metal plate. My car misfired and abruptly slammed on the breaks to a halt without warning, causing the car behind me to slam in his breaks, swerve into next lane and honk as he passed me. Another time I was traveling 45mph on a country road with no objects or obstacles in the road when CRV abruptly braked down to 20mph and again, I almost caused an accident with the driver behind me. Other times, my CRV will flash brake and beep and slow when there aren’t any objects in the road. This is very concerning.

I was driving eastbound with two passengers over the upper deck of the George Washington Bridge on a sunny clear morning around 10:30. Traffic was typical - heavy but moving steadily at about 15-20 miles per hour. I was in a middle lane about 2-3 car lengths from a truck in front of me when our car very abruptly braked hard for no apparent reason, with an orange warning flashing on the screen at the same time - so quickly I did not even have time to read it. We came to a complete stop or close to it, and then immediately the car resumed moving forward as if nothing had happened (my foot was still over the gas pedal). I was so confused, the lurching of the car felt like we had been in an accident and it took a few seconds to realize we had not been. I am shocked that we were not rear-ended by the car behind us, given the traffic. I would note that the abrupt braking occurred as we were about to go over one of the metal joints in the bridge surface, and I wondered if that had confused the sensors. Since there was no accident or damage, we continued on (no need for police or insurance). Our car is up to date on all inspections and recalls and this is the first time this has happened (though we do sometimes have issues with other aspects of the advanced safety system, including warnings about low driver attention and/or lane departures when these things are not happening).

I have owned the car for 58 months and now there is "Emissions System Error" which is related to canister purge valve malfunction (P0441). This consumes more fuel and failing emissions standards.

When I drove at around 4-50 mph. The car lost power, stalled and all the sensors and warning were on. I also smelled gasoline inside the cabin.

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the 2018 Honda CRV that I purchased from Honda dealership in Bellevue, Washington state just a few short months ago. Initially, after several week ago from the dealer, all warning lights on the dashboard were illuminated, prompting me to bring the car to your dealership for an evaluation. Following your team's assessment, the car was upgraded with software in accordance with Service Bulletin [link to the bulletin: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10154475-0001.pdf However, this was only the beginning of our troubles. In the past few months, my family, including my 9-year-old son, has encountered a series of issues that have severely affected the safety and reliability of the vehicle. We rely on this car for various family activities, including picking our son up from school and transporting him to various extracurricular activities. On multiple occasions, my family has been exposed to a strong smell of gasoline within the vehicle while driving, even with my 9-year-old son and wife in the car. This issue has persisted and continues to be a major cause for concern. Despite these issues, when I reached out to the dealership for assistance, I was informed that I would be required to pay an inspection fee. Given the seriousness of the problems and the potential safety risks associated with the gasoline smell, I felt that it was unjust to be asked to cover this cost and, as a result, I declined the inspection. The most alarming incident occurred last Saturday Oct 21 2023, while driving the vehicle from Bellevue, to Sammamish back home. The car abruptly lost all power while I was traveling at 40mph. This not only posed a significant safety hazard but also led to an emergency situation. I had to pull over, turn off the engine a couple times, and restart the car to regain power. We barely drove this vehicle back home. Throughout this incident, all engine warning lights were illuminated.

While driving, the Emergency Brake light comes on and a system message that reads "Catastrophic failure. Pull vehicle over when safe" appears on the information display. When this happens, it feels like the Parking Brake is engaged. Pressing the Parking Brake OFF button resolves the problem each time it happens. This has happened multiple times (intermittent failure).

Dashboard all warning lights flashing. Unable to see how fast I’m going. Has happened multiple times in the past months. And Is also a safety distraction. Light will not turn off unless I connect and disconnect the battery, which will still happen again either way in about a week.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving and attempting to steer the vehicle, the steering wheel was unresponsive. The failure was intermittent. The contact stated that there was a delay between turning the steering wheel and the vehicle responding. There were no warning lights for the steering wheel failure; however, the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the steering box had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was scheduled to be repaired; however, the vehicle was not yet repaired. The dealer informed the contact that it was a common failure, and that the part to repair the vehicle was on backorder. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to partially assist with the repair. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

After turning to the tight, steering resists centering and tries to continue to the right. Problem first occurred in late 2023. Honda dealer could not identify the cause but suggested rotating and realigning the tires. That reduced the problem for a while. However, it has retuned now and requires much greater effort to return to center, more so at higher speed, I.e. on the freeway.
