2019 HONDA CR-V Complaints

2019 Honda CRV. Steering feels sticky. It takes extra effort to make small corrections. Once you get the steering past the 'lump', it steers better for a little while. If you don't, it will return to where it started. It seems to get stuck wherever and whenever I make a correction. I have not talked to the dealer or repair professional but it seems to be getting worse.

The contact owned a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 48-50 MPH, the Collision Mitigation Braking System engaged while there was no other vehicles nearby and the contact sustained whiplash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the failure could be related to a crack on the passenger's side of the windshield. The vehicle was not repaired and was traded in. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

We had to replace steering gearbox. This was the second time we had to bring the car into the dealer for repairs. Almost a year earlier August 27,2024 brought in for the same issue, at that time the Honda had 61,505 miles. No repairs were done as they had no error codes to go by even though there were other Hondas witl steeringbox issues. As of October 9,2024 1.7 million in recall. July 5,2025 had steering gearbox replaced at our cost of $4,557.18. We had a hard time keeping the vehicle on the road as it would drift and violently go from left to right when driving. Other Hondas were recalled but this model year has no recalls yet on the steering box. Ihope that honda will include this model in their recall as we are having the same problems as other Hondas with steering gearbox. Thank you

The fuel injectors on my 2019 CR-V need to be replaced at 68k miles. This is a known issue with recall. While fuel injectors are not "safety" items themselves - when there is a fuel injector issue (as has been reported here on this website and other websites a significant amount of times), numerous safety features of the CR-V are disabled by the issue directly related to the fuel injector issue. A listing of some of those safety related items that are disabled by the fuel injector problem are: - Adaptive Cruise control - Collision Mitigation - Road Departure Mitigation - Vehicle Stability Assist - Hill Start Assist - Electric Parking Brake - Tire Pressure Monitoring. Additionally, some CR-V's have reported being put in limp mode while on the highway, which very well could be a safety related issue; especially to younger and older drivers not used to a car suddenly going from 60MPH to 25MPH and they have to make split second decisions to safely pull over.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING WILL SIMPLY GET A STICKY SPOT IN THE STEERING. SO YOU WILL BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THERE IS A STUCK SPOT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND TO GET IT PAST IT YOU MUST PUSH THE STEERING PAST THAT POINT WHICH MAKES YOU NEARLY VEER INTO OTHER LANES. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS WELL KNOWN ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THERE ARE RECALLS ON SOME OF THE CRV VEHICLES FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER NOT FOR MY VEHICLE. i WAS QUOTED $6000 TO FIX IT AND AFTER I INQUIRED DEEPER WITH HONDA ABOUT THIS BEING AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OTHERS I WAS SUDDENLY ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR $2000 OF THE COST. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT HONDA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS STILL MAKING CONSUMERS PAY FOR THE BAD PARTS THEY HAVE PUT ON THEESE STEERING SYSTEMS. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE WILL LIKELY BE KILLED OVER HONDA NOT STARTING A RECALL ON THIS.

Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact purchased the vehicle from a dealer. The contact stated that when the vehicle was purchased the bill of sales and the odometer indicated that the mileage was 74,460. The contact stated that the vehicle broke down immediately after the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with several undisclosed failures. The contact stated that the Carfax report indicated that on 12/09/2023, the vehicle was serviced, and the odometer indicated the mileage was 199,300. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. In addition, the contact stated that the dealer declined her phone calls.

I have been reading many similar steering defects on the Honda CRV. The problem is the steering wheel sticking when trying to maintain the Honda on a straight path. The steering is not fluid! Calling the dealership the first time ,I was told ,rather rudely that it was probably the rack and pinion steering gearbox. They also said it was going to cost north of $5,000.00. After exhausted research of the problem, I discovered Honda has several model recall for this, potentially very serious problem ,including the Honda CRV. I found there is a recall on the 2023 and newer. My 2109 is not in the recall. At this point I brought the CRV to the dealership to trouble shoot the problem. Sure enough the rude person was right. I needed a rack and pinion gearbox. I was quoted a price of, $5756.24.This opinion cost me $177.75. I left and told them I need to search around for a better price, and also try to get this done on a recall. I have contacted HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. As of this writing I feel I’m getting the run around! But I keep trying to see if they have a soul!!!

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled, and the steering wheel became firm. Several unknown messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and the vehicle was towed to a local independent service center, where it was diagnosed and DTC: P0087 (Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low); a lack of fuel supply from the primary fuel pump and needing a fuel pump assembly replacement. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The local dealer was not contacted. In addition, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,228.

On 6/19/2025 while driving on both residential and highway I noticed extremely sloppy/sticky steering wheel and did not feel safe while driving. The temperature was in the high 80's. I had not noticed anything like this before. Today is 6/29/2025 and I have been to the dealership I bought my CRV vehicle from 3 times relating to the steering for substantial visits on 6/20, 6/24 and 6/26. They were not able to replicate at the dealership what I experienced and we have had substantially cooler temperatures, such as 25 degrees. I believe no being able to replicate what I experienced could be caused by the much lower temperatures. I am frustrated since after the first visit to the dealership for service on 6/20/2025 by searching online I have learned there have been numerous years before and after my CRV was manufactured with steering related issues. This includes 2018 (18V66300 recall for electric power assist system) and 2019 (19V383000). The 2019 steering wheel recall was for vehicles that began manufacture 10-03-2018 and had manufacturing ending 4/02/2019. My vehicle was manufactured January 2019 and from what I understand it was not included in the recall. There was also recently a recall announced Nov. 2024 related to gearbox worm wheel and this included CRV model years 2023-2025. Additional information is that my CRV has low mileage. As of 6/20/2025 the mileage was 46,636. My concerns is that there has been a pattern over many years with similar issues as I expressed June 2025 regarding my CRV. This has involved many Honda auto makes including CRV.

I took my car to Diamond Valley Honda in Hemet to do a recall service for the fuel pump. When I got home, I noticed there was a fuel leak underneath the car coming from under the fuel tank. I have videos of the fuel leak. This is very dangerous to drive. I am lucky that I got home safely. I called Diamond Valley Honda and informed them about the issue. They refused to do anything. What can I do?
