2017 Honda CR-V Electrical System

Center display for backup camera locks up and no longer shows live view causing a near miss on people walking behind vehicle. Possibly related: Center display also sometimes goes blank or audio fails. Need video to show sequence of events, but that can not be uploaded. Also, when center display sometimes stays blank (although, backup camera might still work, without guide lines), fuse #19 under the hood can be removed w/ vehicle off, then CR-V started, then off, and fuse re-placed, and then center display will work again for some time.

All dashboard lights come on when car is idling. Changed battery and tested alternator and issue stills persist. Temporary resolution is rebooting the system while car is in accessory mode. I've read many articles with similar issues where after paying thousands of dollars to the dealership to resolve the issue with no success.

All dashboard lights ( warnings) will light up and has stayed on for 4 days. Will randomly clear on its own. Car will also jerk while accelerating speed from 30 to 40 miles and above. Car has been inspected by a mechanic shop and has checked fuses and has had a tune up. This has happened over several months this year starting back in March. Issue still continues. Mechanical shop has reported 3 more cars like mine Honda CRV has come in with the same issue and issue remains unknown and unresolved at this time.

Battery Control Module ( BCM ). Fire Hazard. Confirmed Dealer McConnell Honda/Acura Montgomery. Component Has Been Inspected By Dealer. Warning Lamps And Other Symptoms Such As Battery Failure. Recalls Are Out For 2017 Honda CR-V.

Honda CRV has a software glitch where all warning lights start flashing. This has happened 3 times in past one year . Dealer wanted $150 to $200 for diagnostics . When I checked internet there are multiple users who are having this issue . When I contacted Honda they said they can do nothing as it’s not an active recall issue . The entire system needs to be updated by Honda free of charge for existing customers as this is a major safety issue

Electronic power steering fault due to internal short inside electronic steering rack and pinion assembly.

Center display unit goes blank or screen changes from day to night. Beeps constantly as screen changes and will not recognize touch inputs or shut off.

My family's 2017 Honda CR-V has been experiencing a persistent issue where multiple dashboard warning lights—such as lane mitigation, brake, ABS, check engine, check brakes, TPMS, and traction control—consistently appear whenever the vehicle is started. Initially intermittent, these alerts are now continuous, directly impacting the car's safety, particularly with traction control entirely disabled. This has resulted in several instances of tire slippage and loss of control on wet roads, raising serious safety concerns. Despite taking the vehicle to Honda, where it was suggested that replacing the fuel injectors for approximately $1,500 might resolve the issue, similar reports from other owners suggest that this solution may not fully address the underlying problem. The issue began around 80,000 miles without any prior incidents, and I am seeking a more definitive resolution to ensure the vehicle's safety and reliability.

battery kept draining especially if car wasn't used for a couple days. got locked out of car from battwry drain while shopping. took to dealer because brain new battery dead within days. so far found out I have a bad body control module.

While driving warning lights on dashboard display the following issues: 1. Collision Mitigation System Problem 2. Road Departure Mitigation Problem 3. Tire Pressure Monitor Problem 4. Brake System Problem 5. Brake System Hold Problem 6. Power Steering System Problem 7. Vehicle Stability Assistant Problem 8. Hill Start Assist Problem and 9. Adaptive Cruise Control Problem. This is the second time this has happened this year 2024. There are othe CRV owners who have had this issue. Honda needs to recall these vehicles and fix this safety issue. My battery was changed in 2023 and my system was checked but these lights still come on.

Two times today the infotainment screen goes black and starts beeping like crazy. You have to pull off the road, turn the car off and then reset this. The beeping noise is so annoying you have no choice but to pull over. Dealer said no fix. Why can’t Honda fix their problems. Many other Hondas are having the same problem. I will submit this form every time this happens, which seems to be daily now.

Service Bulletin [XXX] dated [XXX] corrective actions (dual special software updates) where followed and the frequency of incidents dropped dramatically, but after multiple dealership visits (Hardin Honda of Anaheim, CA) the center stack touchscreen still blanks out randomly while driving. Yes, the full vehicle is available for inspection. The screen continues to also “freak out” as shown in the following videos where totally random commands are being made. The blackout happens more but this still occurs periodically too. Nothing seems to fully correct the root issue. I show the dealership the videos I’ve recorded showing the issue but does not occur by the time the technicians test drive it. When it first happened, because it was so dangerous losing many controls, I also opened a case with American Honda customer relations ( #[XXX]) with “Jose” who noted the details but there was no response or followup because I was two months over warranty despite low mileage and simply out of luck. He said ask the dealership for “good will assistance” and you should get the majority of it covered probably bring it down to around $300 a replacement center stack touchscreen rather than over $2,000.

While I am driving a cascade of warning lights signal on my dashboard. Alarms trigger causing a distraction.

All dashboard lights come on occasionally, since 40k miles. Car now has 70k. I've had it serviced regularly and battery replaced, nothing seems to work on preventing this from happening. Dangerous if system is reading that there is an issue when there is not, and it affects performance of the vehicle until they turn off on there own. Happens anywhere between 50 and +500 miles, no rhyme or reason outside of possibly linked to remote starter, which tends to more consistently occur when using.

Stranded over the years of the cars life with multiple dead batteries. Most recent after stranded with car that wouldn’t start had it replaced and car electrical system randomly went off triggering alarm and draining battery. The amps were way over Honda standard being drawn from the battery. After couple trips to dealer it was the bcm that needed replacing with only 56,000 miles on the car.

While the car was moving, the LCD screen suddenly flickered uncontrollably. Although the LCD screen returns to normal after the car is restarted, it will flicker after driving for a period of time.

Recurring parasitic battery draw down to below normal level to start vehicle. Have replaced battery 3 times in less than a year. After many trips to the dealer about the same issue. Honda dealership charged me $500.00 for a diagnostic. Rv has an Electrical problem on the engine along with Dash Board. They are charging more than $6,000.00 for repairs with uncertainty that issue will be solve. My CRV has 37,000 miles which is still new. Noticed same problem reported in Internet forums. Google “2017 CRV battery problem” for more examples reported by other CRV vehicle owners. I believe that this problem is an extensive one that affects many owners and should be determined to be a safety recall issue. Now I have no confidence in the safety of the vehicle and won’t be driving it at night so as to avoid the possibility of being left stranded away from home.

The infotainment systems is failing. Volume knob does not change volume correctly, CarPlay goes in and out, chronic infotainment beeping occurs, infotainment system changes source without input. This creates distractions while driving. It was taken to Honda however they reported no fix for this at this time but mentioned a potential recall on the way due to other drivers experiencing similar issues.

Parasitic battery drain affects my 2017 Honda CR-V. If the vehicle is dormant for just a few days, the battery drains completely and requires a jump start. I am on my fourth battery since purchasing the vehicle new in March 2017, and have also had the starter replaced when my garage could not identify the issue. When the battery is completely dead as I described, the key fob will not open the doors, and you must enter the vehicle by using the physical key located inside the fob. All doors must be opened manually, and the trunk liftgate (where one typically keeps jumper cables or battery booster pack) does not function, rendering access to the rear seats and trunk very difficult. When a jump is successful, all of the safety systems reset and warning indicators do not disappear until the car is driven for several minutes. Honda has an electrical problem or is using batteries that are too small for their vehicles. I wouldn’t expect a car that has been sitting for months at a time to start on the first try, but a few days (even a long weekend would be an issue) is unacceptable.

Since I have owned this car bought in 2017 the info screen randomly turns black and beeps. You cannot tell at that is going on with the car. You can’t adjust the heat, defroster or the radio. This has happened hundreds of times. Honda says they have no fix. I read you have to pull over turn the car off, than start it up and hold the volume button down on the radio until it asks you to reboot the system. Ridiculous, I’ve never had a car with so many problems.

Right rear passenger door cannot be opened from inside or outside.

rear driver door - controls to the window , door locks, and speaker stopped working. After inspection by the dealer, they say there is a broken wire in the wire harness. How could this happen?? Caused doors not to lock and auto start would not work.

Twice the dashboard lights come on randomly. Took it to the dealer at Honda of mentor who supposedly "fixed" it but the issue has come back.

In January 2023 all the warning lights in the dash in our 2017 Honda CR-V spontaneously came on. Were told by Honda the system would reset and it did. Then we had to change out the battery which was supposedly the fix when it happened again. Recently the alarm would sound and lights come on when sitting in the driveway and not running. This progressed that day to having to jump start the car. Took it to Honda who diagnosed a BCM failure. Had to leave it there because it would not start at all. New BCM and again a battery installed. One week later all the warning lights come on again. Back to Honda to be reprogramed but told if this happens again would need new fuel injectors??? Apparently, the CRV should not be driven with this problem, as it can cause automatic stops, lane changes and other safety issues. There have been multiple reports of this issue and it is not being addressed.
