2019 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

Vehicle began making noise when driving. Took to Honda and they discovered a bad bearing in the transmission. Car is regularly serviced and at 78K miles. Car needs a new transmission.

Needs Steering Gear Box replaced. Vehicle has 88,800 miles RACK ASSY., POWER STEERING (EPS)(SERVICE) (STEERING GEARBOX) Steering majorly affected. Confirmed by the dealer and currently at a dealer for repair Called Honda Customer service and they suggested that I put in the notice as there is a recall on the same part for CRV's but not my VIN number No warning lamps or messages, steering just became difficult

THE ADAS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING, IT KEPT BLINKING WARNING SIGNS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

2019 Honda CRV brake system problem. Cannot start my car.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that immediately after the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); the vehicle was difficult to start. The contact stated that on several occasions while starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start immediately, with several messages displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that eventually the vehicle failed to start and was towed to the local dealer; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 29,448.

The driver seatbelt failed to lock when rear end collision occurred and drivers face slammed into steering wheel. The steering wheel airbag failed to deploy when the car rear ended the vehicle in front of them. Drivers safety was jeopardized and now has severe concussion. Repair center stated seatbelt showed zero signs of locking and air bag should’ve deployed. Vehicle was inspected by insurance and was deemed a complete loss. No warning lights sounds or messages went off when vehicle was rear ended and front end collision.

Last week, the collision avoidance braking system activated without being triggered by an actual hazard. I was traveling btw 30 and 40 mph on a straight road, overcast conditions, no pedestrian or oncoming traffic or vehicle in front of me, nor any shadows, or roadworks that could be perceived as a problem. My car flashed the BRAKE sign and immediately braked very hard, car coming to a full stop. LUCKILY no one was behind me, or I'm sure i would have been rear-ended. I was able to continue driving normally right away, but It was very alarming and unsettling to happen with no provocation. This has been reported by others. I disabled the avoidance braking system for the next few days until I could get the car into my local dealer which happened today, 4/29/25. They ran complete diagnostics, could not replicate the problem, confirming the camera and forward radar sensor were working properly. I have never had any warning lights or messages come on prior or since, and the car has otherwise performed very well. Needless to say, I have less confidence in this car now. I was advised to NOT disable the warning/braking system as without it, i could not be protected by it should it be truly needed. This makes me very uncomfortable, but i don't feel there is another choice at this time.

My 2019 Honda CRV steering system is malfunctioning, As I am driving straight the steering wheel wants to turn in either direction without me turning the steering wheel or having any intention of turning at all.I am driving straight, the problem happens at all times at all speeds, I don't feel safe driving my vehicle, I feel it may cause an accident, my vehicle was taken to a local Honda dealer, Honda Cars of Mckinney in Mckinney Tx, vehicle was inspected, they were able to duplicate my concern at parking lot speeds as stated on the dealer's diagnostics report, diagnostics report attached, dealer refused to fix it because they said there's no open recalls for my vehicle, However there's a recall for the same vehicle all trim levels model years 2017 and 2018 but they said even though it's the same problem it doesn't apply to my vehicle because it's 2019 model, the issue started about six weeks ago and it seems to be getting worse, I also contacted Honda headquarter who also refused to fix my vehicle.

Driving in downtown area, decelerating for stop sign, maybe going 20 mph, when "brake!" illuminated on dash and vehicle abruptly came to a complete stop. It seems the automatic emergency braking system engaged and stopped the vehicle. Seat belt locked and items on seats were thrown to floor. Nothing was in the roadway other than driving over a flat metal road construction plate that was placed in the lane, covering trench work done to the road. Fortunately car behind me had enough room to stop before hitting me. Have driven this route many times including driving over this plate for the last several weeks with no issues until today. I have a sore shoulder and neck from seat belt and jerking motion when car stopped unexpectedly.

After driving the vehicle for approximately one hour on the freeway, the steering begins to feel jerky (sticky), requiring greater force to steer car. It is almost like fighting against the lane assist feature but that feature is turned off. This does not happen while driving shorter distances around town.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, there was a scraping sound coming from underneath the vehicle. After stopping to inspect the vehicle, the contact discovered that the oil shield guard plate located underneath the vehicle had become unsecured and was dragging on the road. The shield guard was removed from the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,322.

3 times now the automatic breaks have activated for no reason. The last time (last thurdsay) was a severe brake and thank god no one was near us cause it would have been a severe accident. We took our car to local honda dealership today and they said they could find nothing wrong). We are very nervous to drive the car as this is a real saftey issue, the car only started doing this recently and we have owned car since 2020.

My steering wheel is sticking. Especially noticeable when driving on highway. It’s like it won’t move then when it does it over corrects.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

A fuel injector issue disables KEY safety features of our CR-V's when it occurs. (ex. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, TPS, Hill Start Assist, Braking, etc...) Check Engine light comes on. All warning lights are turned on randomly (Electronic brake system, TPMS, Hill Climb assist, etc) remain on for some time (a few minutes, hours, days), and then all of these warnings vanishes after some time and driving a few miles (this also varies, sometimes warning stays for multiple days. I don't know if the car is dangerous to drive or not with EVERYTHING flashing and beeping.

There is a "sticky" feeling when steering, particularly when veering or turning right. My local Honda service department identified it as a defective steering gearbox and estimates that it will cost about $5,100 to fix it. I contacted Honda and was told that my specific VIN is not part of the recall associated with steering issues; they also refused to add it or cover my repairs.

The steering wheel "sticks" when steering, particularly when veering or turning right. My local Honda service department identified the issue as a defective steering gearbox, with a repair cost of $5,115.44. I contacted Honda and was told that my specific VIN is not part of the recall associated with steering issues. Honda refused to add my VIN to the recall and initially refused to cover my repairs. I called again and received a "good will" offer of $3,000 towards repairs. I pointed out that since the issue is a manufacturing defect and other CRVs have been recalled for the same reason, Honda should pay for the entire repair cost. Again they refused and gave me 30 days to think about their offer. I wrote a letter addressed to Mr. Ozawa, director of traffic safety, urging him to take responsibility for the known defect. Honda refused to increase their good will offer. I requested the offer in writing but was refused. I accepted the offer and scheduled the repairs. In the end Honda didn’t honor its good will offer and only paid $2,210 towards repairs. My only solace is knowing that all my calls were recorded (unless they lied about this too) and there's a record of the offer.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. A message "Emission System Problem" was displayed on the instrument panel. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering rack needed to be replaced. The contact researched and was made aware of an unknown NHTSA recall; however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

Honda is not completing this recall in a reasonable manner, and despite claiming parts are available they are not. After two years of delays, and now threats that our registration will be not renewed if we do not perform the recall, Honda still does not have the parts. Furthermore, they want you to bring in the car, have it inspected, after which they will decide if they want to replace the part. The inspection is being done because the fuel pump may crack due to poor manufacturing practices; however, after an inspection they will not actually fix the defective part if they do not find a crack. This will surely result in failures later when the defective part eventually fails. In their process, some time after the inspection and after some time ordering it and receiving it, they will replace it, at their discretion. This is wholly absurd, and I encourage you to actually force Honda to perform this recall and replace these parts in a timely manner. Two years is more than enough time to produce 700,000 fuel pumps.

My 2019 honda crv has been in and out of shops since April 1st. On april 1st lights popped on on my dashboard the lights were break system lights. All wheel drive system lights, and then the lane keep assist adaptive cruise ect were on and not operational. I looked up what could cause that to happen and it stated rear differential fluid could pop lights on. I took it to the dealership and stated it felt like it was running funny but the lights all went off before I got there but if they could do the rear diff fluid and run diagnostic just to be safe that'd be great. Diagnostic found nothing wrong g with my vehicle. A few days later the same lights came on and then multiple other lights came on, my boyfriend stated it could be electrical maybe spark plugs so we bought them and replaced them. Restarted the car and drove it they went off but then came back on next morning. Next solution was maybe my battery has gone bad. Bought a new battery in hopes it'd work and no luck. We pull out our code reader and it pulls a code for cam shaft position sensors so we purchase those and replace them and still no luck. I finally take it to a repair shop since there's nothing else we can do on our own to fix the issue and the repair shop has a hard time trying to diagnose the issue. They ran codes and tests trying to figure this out they checked the mechanical side of things since the dealership only checked electrical side of things and found that my car had debris in the oil. They began researching and finding the hondas in my year and make and model with the 1.5 turbo engines have a class action lawsuit due to oil dilution and after more digging they found that I did indeed suffer from this and would need an engine replacement due to the damage that has been done and that would be around 10k. Honda knowing sold me a vehicle that could have an issue like this. I bought the car used and kept up on all maintenance and now am having my car repossessed because I cant afford the repa

The contact's father owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that after his father struck a deer, the check engine warning light and several other warning lights became illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for service. The contact stated that after several repairs were made to the vehicle, the check engine warning light returned soon after the repair. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where a diagnostic test was performed which showed a fault with the fuel injectors. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Lane Departure warning light illuminated and independently activated the brakes. The contact stated that the failure had occurred twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 39,534.

The fuel injectors on my vehicle at 99000 seemed to turn all warning lights on my dashboard. There was no issues with my vehicle, I got an emissions test done, then 5 minutes later driving away all warning lights came on my dashboard. I brought to orielys autoparts and had the computer scanned, and it turned out the fuel was too rich in bank one. This is the second vehicle I had that had fo have fuel injectors replaced under 100k miles. My first was a honda civic LX with 88k miles and now this one. The vehicle is currently at a shop about to be repaired. The danger is that all dashlights came on while driving. The vehicle was inspected at schaumburg Honda. My vehicle has recently had the fuel pump recall fix, and then it was installed incorrectly. I have read several honda forums where the same thing is happening to other honda owners at low mileage. Seems that this is pretty frequently happening.

On 3/25/2025, at 2:45 PM, my car stopped itself completely while driving at 35 mph on Transit Rd. near Sheridan Dr., under clear, dry conditions. No obstacles, no brake input—items on passenger seat flew off, my head jerked forward. Suspect Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) malfunction, per NHTSA EA22-003 (2017-2022 CR-Vs, 278 complaints, 47 crashes, 112 injuries). Vehicle is at Lia Honda for $285 diagnostic, completed 3/26/2025; they found no issues, recommend radar sensor recalibration (~$300 more) but say it ‘cannot guarantee the issue won’t recur’—I told them to wait. Available for inspection. Safety Risk: Sudden stop risked rear-end collision and jerked my head —matches EA22-003 crashes. Not reproduced. Prior inspection with oil change at Lia Honda on 3/21/25—no issues. No manufacturer, police, or insurance inspections. No warning lamps before failure—sudden onset. Honda corporate assigned a case manager on 3/26/2025, contacting me in 24-48 hrs. Request: Investigate—dealer’s inaction and costs are unacceptable.

I was driving 50 mph, "BRAKE" lit up, immediately my car slammed on the brakes while I had my foot on the gas pedal! Cruise control was not on. Nothing was in front of me - no cars, snow, rain, plastic bag, etc. This has happened many times before. I thought it had to do with Automatic Cruise Control, but it's much worse. I told the dealership and taken it in many times & I have written to Honda Regional Customer Svc. What do I do now?

Engine RPM surged while nose- in parking with foot on brake, causing vehicle to unexpectedly jump the parking barrier and hit a steel sign post, incurring $3,300 cosmetic damage to left front of vehicle. Pressed harder on brake to stop. Cost estimate obtained, complaint filed with American Honda.

As I pulled from a stop, into an intersection, the car slammed on the brakes with no warning. Did not see the normal "BRAKE" message as usually appears if you follow to closely for example and there was no car in front of me. It was a quick slam of the brakes, which threw my head forward and down suddenly, then released. I Continued driving and saw no warning lights or indication of a problem on the dashboard. However, when I parked the car and turned the engine off, it would not restart. Only clicked and displayed a continuous series of error messages on the dash including "Electronic Break System Failure" and others. The car would not start. I tried to start it multiple times until the battery eventually ran down. Called tow service and they jump started the car. All error messages reset and did not reappear. I only drove it short distance home and have not driven it since.

Good afternoon, My 2019 Honda CR-V suddenly displayed all warnings on the dashboard while operating the vehicle. The warnings remained but would sometimes disappear. However, while driving the vehicle on [XXX], the vehicle suddenly decelerated and was unable to accelerate while driving in traffic. Given any other situation or position of my car on the road, an accident would have occurred. On March 12, 2025, my 2019 Honda CR-V was repaired by Pearson Honda. Pearson Honda determined that the 2019 Honda CR-V had fault fuel injectors, and the fuel injectors were placed. The 2019 Honda CR-V had 66,888 miles at the time of service. As you're likely aware, recalls have been issued on various other Honda Models relating to issues with the fuel injectors. Additionally, there is an abundance of online forum posts highlighting the issue and likely other NHTSA stating the same: - [XXX] (User ALY1337 noting that fuel injectors in their 2017 Honda CR-V went bad at around 68,000 miles) - [XXX] (Various users noting that their Honda CR-Vs of varying years have had fuel injector issues) Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

I was traveling on highway going posted speed of 70mph. There were no cars anywhere close to front of vehicle. Car automatically braked HARD, locking the seatbelt and throwing everything in car forward. It was not a "warning" brake it was a ridiculously HARD brake to attempt to stop car. I am shocked and amazed it did not cause accident or flip. As a result of this sudden hard stop, I have having back and neck pain as well as chest and shoulder pain. There was no reason for this to occur, there was nothing in front of the vehicle at all. There were however cars behind that nearly hit me. I may seek medical if back, neck and shoulder continue to hurt.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring an increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the gearbox assembly. The vehicle was repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering); but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was 55,000.

I've had 3 incidents in the past 60 days where the car has been parked with shut off the engine, only to come back hours later and find the electric fuel pump in the gas tank running. When this happens, I start up the car then shut it off and then the pump is no longer running. I can't say whether the pump sometimes doesn't get shut off when the car is parked or if the pump somehow comes back on on it's own later after the car has been parked. The pump makes a very quiet buzzing sound when it running. It's very hard to hear unless the car is in a quiet place. The first two times I heard the pump running the car was parked in my garage. Yesterday, my wife parked it in front of our home around 8:00 am. Around 11:00 am I got onto the car to move it and found the fuel pump was running. This isn't a body control module, an abs system or other electronic device buzzing. The sound is coming from inside the fuel tank. I believe it's the pump running.

The component in question is the steering assembly. The vehicle which currently has approximately 55,000 miles has started having what I would describe as "sticky steering". The steering wheel does not operate smoothly, instead you have to force it out of a turn or merge. The vehicle issue has been confirmed by my local dealer where we purchased the car new. There are no warning lamps associated with this issue and it has been going on for about a month or so as of today. The recommended repair by the dealer is to replace the steering rack at $4000. To me that would be a questionable repair on a vehicle with twice as many miles as mine. It is definitely a safety issue that I'm sure won't go away on its own. The car has not been involved in an accident that would cause this issue.

Car stalls and won't accelerate. It loses power and check engine light came on. Dealer replaced fuel injectors and on the way home from dealer, it stalled again. Dealer replaced a spark plug and it worked for 2 days and again stalled. Maybe the fuel pump recall is affecting this vehicle too.

The driver sideview mirror shakes constantly and cannot be tightened. It has been doing this since new. and has gotten worse. It does it at all speeds.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the steering wheel was sticking while driving, causing the steering wheel to remain turned towards the left. The contact stated that an excessive amount of effort was needed to straighten out the steering wheel. The contact stated that while turning left and right, the steering wheel was making a clicking noise. The contact stated that the failure was more prominent in warmer weather. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

In February 2024 we received a safety recall from Honda stating the fuel pump could prevent an engine from starting, cause a vehicle to lose drive power, or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. I receive emails from Honda telling me the recall has not been completed. I booked an appointment and brought my car in just to be told parts are still not available. Why is Honda allowed to continue to build new cars where there are so many of these existing vehicles that can't be repaired. It just seems they are slow walking this in the hope that people will just give up.

This is regarding an incident with my 2019 Honda CRV, on 2/12/2025. Conditions were dry, clean and dark with street lighting at approximately 6:15 pm Pacific time. I was driving northward uphill on a paved street and approximately half way up the hill, my car came to an abrupt stop and shut down. My body was jolted forward and I felt an immediate discomfort in my lower back. There was a car behind me with lights on that did not hit me, but had veered left mid-street, possibly to avoid hitting my car, or may have been in the process of making a parking maneuver. I saw nothing in the roadway that would cause my car to stop. There was no occurrence of a warning light or audible notification of a hazard to me. There were two cars stopped at a stop sign ahead at the top of the street, one was in the right turn lane and the one next to it was headed straight south. My car would not proceed. I had to press the start button to restart the car. I drove up to the top of the hill to the limit line of the stop sign. Both of the cars ahead at the top of the hill across the intersection were still stopped, but proceeded once my car came up the hill to the limit line of the stop sign.

When I started up my car all warning signs popped up. I went to the dealer and they said my five year old car that has 57,000 miles needed new fuel injectors. I purchased the car in 2020 it was a brand new leftover. I am reading online that MANY other CRV owners are experiencing the same issue. This is not okay, I had to spend over $2,500 to get this fixed. Obviously something is terribly wrong and Honda should be taking care of this issue. I was just denied help through Honda. Please look into this issue I’m not the only dissatisfied customer.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while stationary and attempting to start the vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle jerked back and forth. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated including the brake system lights. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with VSA modulator failure and brake booster failure. The vehicle was at the dealer awaiting the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,486.

When approaching a speed bump or toll plaza the car randomly slams on the brakes causing a hard stop.

I was driving in I-694 to dealer for a scheduled oil change when all of the warning lights came on at once and I lost ability to accelerate. This was frightening and dangerous. I was surrounded by many vehicles, including semis. There were no advanced warnings. The dealer diagnosed turbo and engine failure. I brought the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a second opinion, and he stated that there was a large quantity of fuel in the engine oil. I had brought my vehicle to the Honda dealer for maintenance over the prior three year period, and was never advised that I needed to check the turbo, that it could fail, or that I needed more frequent oil changes. I have since discovered that Honda is aware of this engine defect that causes fuel to mix with the oil, which then can cause premature engine failure, but they refuse to fix it.

I am filing a complaint regarding a premature failure of the LED turn signal on my 2019 Honda CR-V at only 81,000 miles. The turn signal is a critical safety component, and its failure presents a serious risk of accidents due to decreased visibility to other drivers. Unlike traditional bulbs that can be easily replaced, Honda’s LED turn signals require replacing the entire headlight assembly at a cost of $1,200.00, which is an unnecessary and expensive repair for a basic safety feature. The failure of an LED component at this mileage suggests a defective part that should be investigated. Given that turn signals are an essential part of vehicle safety, I believe Honda should issue a recall or provide an extended warranty for this defect. Safety Concerns: •The LED turn signal failed unexpectedly, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of an accident. •Unlike traditional bulbs, the LED failure requires an expensive full headlight replacement, making it inaccessible for many drivers to afford repairs. Requested Action: I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue and consider issuing a recall or safety bulletin to ensure Honda takes responsibility for fixing this problem. This is a serious safety concern, and I believe it is unfair for consumers to bear the high cost of replacing an entire headlight assembly for what should be a long-lasting LED component. I appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

on [XXX] I was driving home with my wife & [XXX] baby, in what I would describe as standard wintery mix of weather - rain, but not yet cold enough to be snow. My 2019 CRV EX-L alerts me of the following message: "Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Radar Obstructed" As I've had this car for years, I've seen this message pop before, but as I had no plans of using any Driver Assist features, i didn't think anything of it. At roughly [XXX], while driving on the highway, my Honda became 100% unresponsive to me as the driver. It locked the ability to steer the wheel or apply the brakes in any capacity. The vehicle completely usurped driving power & under its own power, began veering off the road at highway speeds. I could only look straight ahead and hope that when we crashed into the upcoming highway divider, my family wouldn't die. To confirm, i tried pumping brakes, holding down the brakes, touching - absolutely nothing worked - they were completely locked. The steering wheel locked as well, we were heading for certain death. This was going what felt for a lifetime, but after probably 5 - 10 seconds, i was able to gain steering control - and turned away from the light post we were destined to hit & was able to get us veered back on the highway. Conditions were wintery, and we swerved alongside another car lanes away. By the grace of God, my car and the other car, only slightly touched side view mirrors. We both pulled over and swapped information, but little actual damage was caused. With all of this said I want to make sure one thing is clear. Honda almost killed my entire family. They put us in danger for absolutely no reason. My Honda CRV overrode every possible human driver action - and had us on a direct path with death. If not for the grace of God - I wouldn't be able to write this message to you. We opened a case with Honda Case #[XXX] where they made me pay for a diagnostics test - however didnt properly inspect the issue imo INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
