2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the steering wheel was sticking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times over two years; however, the cause for the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Our 2018 Honda CRV EX-L AWD started exhibiting symptoms of when driving straight and making minor corrections the wheel felt like a magnet was holding it and the would let go causing you to over correct, started maybe 2-3 months ago, starting to feel like it’s getting worse. Took 2 trips to Honda dealer and me doing research online about service bulletins and recalls before they could figure it out. Given Honda has a Bulletin about it and there was a NHTSA campaign for it, which affects safety it seems Honda should be covering this repair. (NHTSA Campaign # 18V663000) Was told it only affected a few vehicles and ours wasnt part of the campaign even though it’s the exact problem ours has. The car feels unsafe with it the steering becoming unpredictable and it should be Hondas responsibility to rectify this safety issue especially since the company knows of it, yet the dealer told me wouldn’t be covered and I would have to pay $4417.21 to fix this! I dont have that type of money laying around for this big of a repair! Let alone why would I want to pay for it when it sounds like a known issue that Honda should be doing the right thing and covering what sounds like a manufacturing defect. Dealer seemed to reference Honda Service Bulletin 18-103 which exactly describes our issue in the CRV and seems to also match the same statement of the NHTSA bulletin above. We ended up paying to get the vehicle fixed at Honda Dealer, and Honda Corporate refused to help us out at all, receiving an emailed reply that our vehicle is out of warranty and we should just consider this the normal cost of ownership. I decided it was time to file a complaint after seeing even brand new CR-V's are being recalled for steering issues as well now. It seems clear there is widespread issues with many Honda Vehicles and has been for years and Honda isn't doing the right thing and fixing dangerous steering on ALL affected vehicles, and seems to still be building models with the problem!

When you turn on the car, all warning lights come on, ALL error messages that can be displayed are displayed, and safety features become disabled. The systems resets after you turn the car on & off at least 5 times but the issue always reappears. Error codes P0172 & P219C have been detected during the issue. The dealer replaced the fuel injectors to remedy the issue.

Multipurpose windshield camera failed which disable many of the driver assistance safety systems. Dashboard display showed constant multiple system failures that could not be turned off by driver. Replacing the multipurpose windshield camera and recalibrating the camera cleared all the system failures. Cost for repairs was $1,737 which seems extreme for a camera.

I was notified by Honda that the fuel pump on my 2018 Honda CR-V would be replaced when replacement pumps became available. That was in May of 2024. As of this writing, I have not heard from my local dealer (Honda World, Louisville, KY) or Honda corporate about the availability of a replacement.
