2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

Recall was issued a year ago on 12/18/23. Honda said they would contact me when the part was available. Have not heard from Honda and when I called they said the part was not available. My car might stop working on the highway endangering my life and the safety of others.

The contact owns a 2018 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 local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

While traveling irregular route, the emergency brake prompt displayed on the dashboard. There were no vehicles in front of me within a quarter mile distance and the break began to automatically depress while accelerating. I immediately took my foot off of the gas pedal and tapped the brake. The emergency braking system disengaged and I was able to continue normally. Prior to this incident there had been numerous instances where the dashboard displayed the emergency brake icon, but did not automatically depress the brake. I have not noticed any consistency in the circumstances that causes this to initiate. I have also checked to make sure there any cameras or radar hardware unobstructed.

Our car was parked in our driveway for hours - at [XXX] on [XXX], our Ring camera captured our CRV roll down the driveway as if its parking brake completely failed/disengaged (the tires are rolling, it is not sliding). It then crashed into our shed. We are so grateful our children were not outside playing. The car wouldn’t turn on so we jumped it - once the power was back, there was a brake hold system problem light on it. We had it towed to a Honda dealership who has not inspected it yet. We have an insurance claim open for the cosmetic damage to the front of the car. Progressive Claim #[XXX] We have a case open with Honda - I spoke to corporate on the phone this morning about it. Case number: [XXX] And to wrap this up, this is terrifying. We have two young children. We bought a Honda to keep us and our kiddos safe - this needs to be remedied before someone gets seriously hurt.

Honda issued a safety recall in February 2024 for a possible inoperable fuel pump that may cause a vehicle to lose drive power, or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. It is now December 2024 and replacement parts are still not available.

My 2018 CR-V EX is experiencing a "sticky steering" issue that has gotten noticeably worse over time (I purchased the vehicle new). When driving around long, steady curves, in particular, and typically at speeds in the 40 to 60+ mph range, the steering wheel sticks at that orientation to the point that you can feel it doesn't want to move. When coming out of the curve, or if the turn radius changes requiring you to straighten out a bit, it doesn't want to move back toward center; it requires a bit of effort to get it to "unstick" and straighten out. Once you apply that required force, though, it doesn't unstick smoothly but in sort of a jerking fashion back toward straight, which can cause a bit of an overcorrection. I see that there is a steering recall of 2018 CR-V's requiring a replacement of the gear box, although my VIN is not included, and I also see that there is a major recall recently for newer Hondas, including the CR-V, that seems to perfectly describe this issue. Apparently, it's a significant safety concern if they're recalling one to two million vehicles for it, and from all of the similar reviews and complaints I've read from other 2018 CR-V owners, it appears it's long been an issue with this gear box, although only recently acknowledged on the more recent vehicles. This should clearly be evaluated and reconsidered going back to 2018 when the CR-V redesign happened, as I and MANY other 2018 CR-V owners are and have been experiencing this same issue that's warranted a safety recall on the newer models.
