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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With 82,300 miles on the Odometer, my 2017 Honda CRV Touring AWD started misfiring and displayed a check engine light for a P0301 Cylinder 1 misfire detected. All 4 injectors had failed displaying Cylinder 1-4 as Fail(Rich) under the dealership diagnostic. This left me with a $2,000 repair bill at the Honda dealership. “DIAGNOSE CUSTOMER CONCERN: checked car. confirmed complaint. dtc p0301 cylinder 1 misfire stored. performed AF terst and found all 4 cylinders running rich. Recommend replacing injectors The analysis of the various functions of the components of a vehicle to determine if they are operating properly or have recorded faults which need to be corrected.” Honda refuses to reimburse me or even a partial reimbursement for something that should be recalled on this vehicles as being way too common on a daily basis.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The vehicle's all safety warning lights are turning on. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealer for diagnostic testing, who reported that it requires new fuel injectors at a cost of $1,700.00. In researching the issue, it appears that this is an ongoing problem with multiple 2017 and 2018 Honda CRVs.

I started vehicle and all warning lights on dash popped up and began scrolling through/flashing. As a vehicle owner, I was startled as it was unsettling to see all the warnings pop up. It appeared every safety feature/component on the vehicle was compromised. I immediately contacted the local Honda dealership as they suggested diagnostics were needed. Dealership invoice states "Diagnose check engine light - pull codes, diagnose to failure". Dealership invoice further states "Tech Verified Concern. Tech scanned system for codes and found code P0301 stored for misfire cylinder. Tech ran air fuel test and failures came back on Cylinders 1 and 3. Tech diagnosed to failing injectors, recommend replacing". After doing some research, it appears this particular vehicle has a history with similar problems. I have a product update letter from December 2018 which refers to the P0301 code. In addition, I have a Warranty Extension letter dated July 2019, which refers to the same issue and the P0301 code. The letter states that to ensure confidence in the product, the powertrain warranty was extended from the original 5 year/60,000 miles to 6 years with unlimited mileage from the original sale date. Unfortunately, my vehicle is a 2017, so although I qualify under the mileage I do not qualify under the 6 year time frame. The current mileage on my vehicle is 56,000 miles.

The fuel injectors are the issue with this Honda. When driving with these injectors and they go bad the vehicles braking system, lane assist, and Vehicle stability goes out. I have had my vehicle serviced (no injectors available to fix issue at this moment) by a Honda dealership since every warning and check engine light was on. Honda is aware of this issue but fails to recall the injectors. No repair invoice yet however it is a $2,500 fix when the parts are available from backorder.

The fuel injectors failed on September 30th. Sitting in a parking lot when all of the warning lights on the dashboard started coming on. We immediately called the dealership and got the car in the next day. They thought it might be the battery. No prior problems. Dealership called and said it was the fuel injectors. Dealership said it was a known issue on 2017-18 CRVs. Google search confirmed many CRV owners withe same issue. Contacted Honda America to ask for compensation since this appeared to be a known issue. They did agree to pay for half of the $1,400 repair. They recommended contacting NHTSA to report the issue as well. We had 91,691 miles on this vehicle at that time.
