| Oct 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | I am reporting a severe safety defect involving the engine and fuel injector system that began two months ago at ≈108k miles (now 109k miles). I have not yet taken the vehicle in for service due to the estimated high repair cost of $2,900. It is critical to note that the same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not fixed for my 2019 model year. This indicates a persistent manufacturing or design flaw that warrants an immediate investigation into my model year. The defect manifests regularly, causing a Cylinder 2 Misfire (P0302) and making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of power. This creates a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. More dangerously, when the misfire occurs, the vehicle instantly disables critical driver assistance systems—Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keep Assist (LKAS)—without any advanced warning. This malfunction is an unreasonable safety risk: CRASH HAZARD: The unprompted power loss and concurrent disabling of safety features create an immediate, dangerous situation. FIRE HAZARD: The persistent misfire strongly suggests a failed or stuck-open fuel injector, which causes fuel dilution of the engine oil. This contamination can lead to engine failure or, critically, a fuel leak onto hot engine components that poses an extreme fire risk. I urge NHTSA to investigate why this defect persists and to mandate a comprehensive recall to protect the public from this ongoing, life-threatening safety risk. The failed component may be available for inspection upon request. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | ENGINE | Vehicle started hesitating on traffic while running on a 50mph zone, if vehicle would had die on me more than likely I would have been hit from behind by another vehicle. I exited the main road and drove cautiously home. Honda dealer inspected vehicle and confirmed a failed engine head gasket | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | the vehicle took a long time to start, was shaking and all warning lamps were on the dashboard. I took it to a Honda dealer and the code was P0087 Fuel Rail pressure too low. There was a recall for the lower pressure fuel pump, so they replaced it, but they are also claiming that the high pressure fuel pump needs to be replaced and is not under a recall. I see there is a a recall for 2023-2025 models, but not my vehicle (2019). I will be stuck with a $2,000 repair. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ENGINE | Turbo failure on the highway caused loss of power and significantly reduced acceleration. The car only had 59,930 miles on it. Now we are getting a repair quote from a Honda dealer to replace the turbo for over $4,500 with no guarantee it will fix the problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | As I was cruising into a parking space with foot on break at about 1 mile per hour the car suddenly accelerated and hit he side walk. Foot still on break I put car in park and switched off engine. Total cost of repair $11,188.00 | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | STEERING | Steering sticky when driving car on road. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The car just comes to a screeching halt because it detects a collision, even when there is no threat. Happens most often at night when passing a road signage above you. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | •What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? oThe component that was identified as the issue was the fuel injectors had a leak, causing them to not get enough fuel. •How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? oI was told by the dealership that if not fixed, the leak would get bigger over time and could cause the engine to stall. I was told by the dealership that they were seeing more and more of these cases and had replaced the injectors on a year-old model the prior week to recommending the replacement for our vehicle. •Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? oI took the vehicle into our local Honda dealership to have them diagnose the cause. •Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? oUnknown •Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem before the failure, and when did they first appear? oThe car would flash various warning lights, not pointing to a single system. Then it would stop for a few days, only to pop up again a day later. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I have 2 issues with my car - the first one has been ongoing and I should have reported it sooner - when using cruise my car will sometimes brake for no reason, it's as if the car sees something that's not there. The second one just occurred and has only happened once. I was driving on the highway using cruise and I got a message on the dash that said something like cruise control disengaged - the cruise turned off and the gas pedal didn't work so I had to coast to the shoulder. Luckily, I didn't have to cross any lanes of traffic or it could have been extremely dangerous. I plan to contact the dealer as soon as I am done with this submission. I wanted to be able to tell them that I had notified the NHTSA. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Without warning, my 2019 Honda CRV has repeatedly gone into limp mode, basically, immediately reducing speed to approximately 7 miles per hour. When this occurs, dash is lit up with numerous warning lights. My vehicle requires towing. This has occurred 4 times since May 20th, 2024. The reading has been consistent each time I have had it repaired; cylinder 3 misfire. I have taken my vehicle 3 times to a local mechanic and Clawson Honda, a dealer, the last time;July 29th. There is no warning this will occur. The safety issues are obvious. With the vehicle abruptly, basically, stopping, not only are passengers and drivers in my vehicle in eminent danger, but other drivers who may be trailing behind. I have had extensive conversations with Honda representatives. My vehicle was part of a recall soon after we purchased it. The recall information indicated a software issue that was identified as the same problem that is now happening with our vehicle. I believe there is a potential high risk issue with Honda software. There are numerous makes and models, according to my research, that have been recently recalled for similar issues. As per following questions; this occurred four times: May 20, 2024 October 4, 2024 January 1, 2025 July 29, 2025 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | STEERING | There are many complains online about the same issue from other car owners. All I want is for the dealer to repair at no cost to me. The car has less than 30K miles and it is driven only on city streets short distances. Below, the answer to the questions: 1-Steering Rack. Yes it is available for inspection 2-Sticky steering hard to control 3-Yes 4-Yes. Authorized Honda Dealer at Coconut Point, Estero Florida and Honda Corporate office in California knows about it too 5- No warning just a noise We firmly believe many vehicles may have this same issue. Regardless, it is clear that the part in my car is defective and should be replaced by the dealer at no cost to me. The age and mileage of the vehicle do not justify such a serious problem. Either the part was made with poor quality or it is defective. How can a steering rack fail at only 29,248 miles—what is it made of, plastic? This raises serious concerns about Honda Corporate and whether this is part of a broader scheme that should be investigated. My car is practically new and has been serviced exclusively at the same dealer where it was purchased brand new, without missing any of the recommended services ever. note: from the invoice attached you can see how expensive it is this repair | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | STEERING | I am writing to express a serious safety concern regarding my Honda CR-V. I recently learned that Honda has recalled millions of vehicles due to a sticky steering issue, and while my specific vehicle is not listed in the current recall, I am experiencing similar symptoms. Most notably, I recently encountered a frightening incident in which the steering in my vehicle felt unusually resistant or "sticky." As I attempted to correct my course on the highway, the lack of smooth steering response caused me to oversteer into the shoulder, putting myself and others at risk. Thankfully, I was able to regain control, but this could have resulted in a serious accident. In addition to the stiffness, I have also noticed a clicking noise when turning the wheel, which seems to accompany or precede the sticky sensation. Given the known recall for this issue in other Honda vehicles, I strongly urge you to investigate whether this problem might extend beyond the current recall list. My concern is that other affected vehicles, including mine, may have been missed. I would appreciate it if a representative could assist me with this. This is clearly a serious safety concern, and I believe it deserves your immediate attention. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Aug 2025 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 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 unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. While the contact’s husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost power and shut off. The driver inspected the vehicle and noticed that there was corrosion on the battery terminals. The battery was replaced by the husband. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the parts were on back order. Another dealer, Honda of Valley Stream (164 E Sunrise Hwy, Valley Stream, NY 11581); confirmed that because the parts were on back order, an appointment could not be scheduled. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure related to the recall. The failure mileage was unknown. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The front windshield on my vehicle was cracked on four different occassions. Three times when a small stone/gravel hit the winshield while driving. And once while parked outside. My safety was at risk because while driving i was startled when the object hit the windshield and i immediately focused my eyes on the damage when my attention should have been keeping my eyes on the road at all times. Each time i filed a claim with my insurance company. In my opinion i believe the glass does not meet or nearly meet industry standards. Further, I'm retired and do not drive my vehicle every day or long distances. Also, the cracked windshields were replaced with Honda windshields. Finally, i fail to believe I am that unlucky to have had my windshield replaced four times within six years. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My car’s warning lights simultaneously come on. After a couple of weeks, they will go off and then once again come on. This has been happening for over a year now. Today I tried to drive and the car shook but would not accelerate. Once I turned it off and back on, the lights were still on but it did go forward. I have noticed many recalls for the Honda CRV but my VIN is not listed in the recall. It seems to me based on the other recalls, mine should be recalled as well. I have only 54,000 miles on my CRV. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The contact drove the vehicle to the shoulder of the road and performed an inspection of the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the hood was opened, and the contact noticed fuel spilling out of a detached fuel feed hose. The contact stated that it was a frightening feeling, and that the failure could have caused the vehicle to catch on fire. The contact patched and replaced the hose. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the fuel feed hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 21,000 |
| Aug 2025 | SUSPENSION | The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the tire pressure warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer to have the tires checked and was advised that both rear tires had abnormal wear on the inside treads. The contact had the tires replaced; however, the tire pressure warning light illuminated after approximately six months. The contact took the vehicle to a tire shop, and it was determined that both rear tires showed abnormal wear on the inside tread. The contact purchased two more tires. The contact stated that the tire shop stated that the rear suspension was the cause of the tire wear failures. The contact was informed that both rear tires were leaning at an angle while mounted on the hubs, and the dealer was unable to properly balance the tires. The contact had the tires replaced again, and the TPMS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a different tire shop, and the failure with the suspension was confirmed. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that there were no similar reports of premature wear of the rear tires. The contact stated that he was on the fourth set of rear tires on the vehicle. The contact stated that he had replaced the rear tires with other tire brands. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 59,000 |
| Aug 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Defective Body Control Module (BCM) required replacement after only 23,000 miles. It is not available for inspection as dealership disposed of it. This defective part prevented the vehicle from starting, and controls other systems. The dealership's mechanics diagnosed that this BCM part was the cause preventing the vehicle from starting. This failure occurred without warning. This part was recalled for the 2019 Honda Insight, Honda Accord and Honda Accord Hybrid, and apparently for some 2019 Honda CR-V models (recall 20V771000), but we received no notice. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | Continuous illumination of all lights on the dash. We have to reset the battery to clear the codes and it will do it again but the timing differs. Now, I am getting the “Airbag SRS System Problem” that pops up and then goes away when the vehicle is restarted. This has been going on for over a year. We have replaced the alternator and continue to try and find the actual malfunction as a code reader just lists all things being illuminated. We are not the first, not the only, and definitely not the last crv owners with this issue. FIX THIS!!!! I’m highly disappointed in Honda. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | ENGINE | I have Honda 2019 CRV and didn’t get alert my head gasket is shot. No notice on my car overheating or any alert. Smoke coming from my car and Honda didn’t alert me. There is class action lawsuit against Honda right now about head gasket failure in my Honda 2019 crv. This rare issue for Honda CRV and should be investigated for recall! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | To Whom It May Concern, While driving my 2019 Honda CR-V AWD EX, multiple warning lights suddenly illuminated on the dashboard, including the Check Engine Light, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), TPMS, and Collision Mitigation System. This has occurred multiple times and appears to be a well-documented issue among other Honda CR-V owners. The dealer diagnosed a faulty fuel injector system (Code P0172 – System Too Rich) and recommended a full injector replacement. This issue matches known cases addressed under Honda TSB 19-072, but is not currently covered under a full recall. The sudden illumination of all warning lights, combined with reduced power, is a serious safety concern as it may cause loss of control or delayed response in critical traffic situations. We have been quoted between $1,200 and $2,500 to repair this issue, which is a significant expense for a defect Honda is already aware of. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be fully covered by Honda, along with any related systems affected by this issue. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 CR-V models and issue a recall. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards, | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | STEERING | Steering sticks when driving 50 mph or faster. The steering feels stuck in position. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Driving under speed limit crossing through a green light at intersection automatic breaking system engaged. This caused rapid slowing throwing driver and things on passenger seat forward. No obstacles, cars or anything were visible or causing any possible accident or problem. The ABS system engaged flashing break warning on dash. This happened a year and a half earlier and on 7/23/2025 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Today: The vehicle flashed the BRAKE warning light and suddenly decelerated/braked. There were no vehicles in front of the car for as far as the eye could see, it is a sunny day with dry conditions, and it was on an open highway that was flat, middle of the day, and the car was traveling 50 MPH. Fortunately, no vehicles were behind me. The BRAKE warning light has flashed on multiple occasions prior, without any trigger whatsoever, but it has only decelerated/braked a couple of times, and today’s was the worst and most jarring. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
