There are 12 owner-reported fuel system complaints for the 2025 Honda CR-Vin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Started with what sounds like a pump running after car shut down then today whole garage smelled like gasoline.
Fuel injectors failed at less than 3,000 miles. Two fuel injectors failed, per Honda service department, and it never recorded or served any error codes when they checked the history. It also did not display any dashboard warnings. I only knew there was an issue from heavy transition between gas and EV mode, and there was a strong burning odor in the cabin. Caused lightheartedness and coughing for occupants.
Over a distance of 1,718 miles, I measured my vehicle’s actual fuel consumption by recording odometer readings and fuel volume at each refill. I then compared these values to the average fuel economy (MPG) displayed on the vehicle's trip computer. The dashboard consistently underreported fuel consumption by approximately 8% ± 2%, always showing more optimistic (i.e., better) fuel economy than actually achieved. This discrepancy is repeatable and was observed over multiple refueling intervals. The vehicle and its onboard display system are available for inspection upon request. This inaccurate fuel economy reading does not present a direct safety hazard, but it can mislead drivers into overestimating range and efficiency, and may influence consumer decisions based on performance data that does not match real-world usage. Additionally, such behavior—if widespread—could be considered a form of consumer deception. I submitted a detailed written request to an authorized Honda dealership (Victory Honda of San Bruno) asking them to compare actual fuel consumption to the displayed value under controlled conditions. However, the dealership did not perform the required measurements or reset the trip computer, and no technical analysis or documentation was provided. The manufacturer’s customer service reviewed the complaint but closed the case without addressing the technical discrepancy or providing a specification that defines acceptable error for the fuel economy display. There were no warning lights, error messages, or symptoms indicating a malfunction. The issue was discovered independently through manual tracking of fuel usage versus mileage. I have attached documentation including my full correspondence with Honda Customer Service, fuel receipts for each fill-up, photographs of the dashboard display showing average fuel consumption, and the official Service Report from Victory Honda.
As I was driving it felt as if the car was running a bit rough, hesitating/sputtering a bit when I pressed on or let up on the gas. As I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and slowed to go over a speed bump I noticed what looked like the battery indicator show up next to the speedometer & completely lost power. I put it in neutral and tried to restart it. It was as if the battery had run down and then it finally caught but sputtered. I revved the engine and was finally able to pull into a parking spot. I shut the car down for a couple minutes then restart it to drive back home. It still did the hesitation/sputtering thing on the way home. It continued the next day on my 20 mile commute into work but has been driving fine for a couple days now.
While driving at highway speeds with the Moonroof open, unburnt fuel can be smelled in the cabin. Dealer was able to confirm fuel smell.
When starting my car, it started rumbling and then the following alerts came on: transmission, emissions, power, and blind spot sensor. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they noted that cylinder 4 fuel injector went bad and also cylinder 4 spark plug went bad. It was covered under warranty; however the car was not safe to drive until the above parts were changed out to working parts.
Car suddenly lost power and would not drive. Odometer only at 4,062 miles. Diagnosis was bad fuel injection system. From reviews online, seems to be a not uncommon problem. Could have caused a major accident if occurred on the highway. Was lucky I was on a lonely country road early in the morning close to home. Honda is repairing at no cost but very concerned that brand new vehicle had such a serious issue without any recall notice.
The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V763000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Honda 2025 CR-V AWD. Fuel Mileage decreased from 31 MPG to 22 MPG on [xxx] on [XXX] Highway Trip leaving Vernon Hills, Illinois with Cruise Control and Economy Mode Set. There was no Engine Performance Problem and no errors were indicated. The car dashboard displayed the average mileage as 22-23 MPG while leaving our hotel and stayed that way most of the day. So the decreased fuel mileage most likely was a fuel leak. Then late in the day, the fuel mileage increased back to 26 MPG. Poor fuel mileage with a small fuel tank is dangerous on [xxx] in Kansas and Eastern Colorado. This is due to the wide distances between fuel stops. There really is nothing out there due to lack of water. If fuel was leaking, that is also a fire hazard. Took to car to dealer for diagnosis. No fault was found. I asked them about the fuel pump recall and they said that they would notify me when the replacement part was available for my car.

The high voltage battery is easily accessible to the consumer with NO protection around it….as it sits slightly elevated in the cavity where the spare wheel/tire are supposed to be….(which have been eliminated). This cavity could easily by accident or intention be filled with liquid thereby setting up a potential situation for severe Injury or Death.
