Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Nov 10, 2026
Fuel injector failure. Warning lamps came on. Problem was confirmed by dealer and repaired. It was very costly. Warning lights came on November 6 2026. Car had been running rough for a while prior to warning lamps coming on. Safety concerns because vehicle could have suddenly stalled or completely shut down while driving. This problem could have caused an accident.
Steering · reported Nov 10, 2026
When driving at 40 - 60 MPH the steering wheel "sticks" in the center position. Applying extra force frees it up, but it seems dangerous on binding. The dealership has said this is "normal". It seems to me to be dangerous.
Power Train · reported Nov 6, 2026
The shift knob push button on my 2017 Honda CR-V Grand Touring broke at approximately 25,800 miles. The button must be pressed to move the gear selector out of Park and between gears, so when it broke, the shifter could not be operated normally. This is a safety risk because the driver may be unable to select the intended gear. The dealer verified the failure and replaced the button with part 54132-TLA-A62ZB. Honda acknowledged this defect in Service Bulletin 19-063 (May 2019), which lists all trims of the 2017–18 CR-V as affected and attributes the failure to heat and humidity. Despite my…

The vehicle experienced sudden overheating, coolant loss, and severe engine misfires. If the engine is forced…
Electrical System · reported Nov 2, 2026
