2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

Manufacturer Recall NumberKGC NHTSA Recall Number 23V-858 I have been trying desperately to get my car serviced to address the safety recall, and many car dealerships are hanging up on me when I try to schedule appointments. My car has been stalling while driving as a result of this recall issue. Please help as I now fear for my safety driving my vehicle since Honda locations are not helping me resolve this issue.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the steering wheel was firm. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the steering gearbox needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V663000 (Steering); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

The vehicle has 54,000 miles and just this week the steering is sticking at the center position and it requires more effort to pull the steering wheel left or right. It’s a constant issue when driving over 40mph! I went on line to several forums and it seems this issue is occurring on 2017-2018 CRV’s with similar mileage of 50k on the vehicle. My VIN isn’t showing a recall yet on this, so I felt it was important to notify the NHTSA because I feel this may lead to a significant safety hazard. I have an appointment next week to have a Honda dealership look into the steering problem. I also saw that several of the CRV owners have spent $5,000 out of pocket to fix the sticking steering! I’m hoping Honda understands my model vehicle is suffering from a significant safety problem and puts out a recall to fix it? Thank you for the incredible work you perform to keep us safer from manufacturing defects!

Steering wheel feels sticky at dead centered and requires making very small left/right adjustments to get out of the sticky spot. Have to continually do this while going straight.

Our 2018 CRV Touring modelm has had the dashboard light up like a christmas tree with all codes flashing. We have had the vehicle to the local honda dealer numerous times and also to a private garage. The battery has been changerd out, The Honda dealer performed a sparkplug recall and the car continues to do this with the dashboard lighting up showing all kinds of codes. Last evening for the second time the car would not go above 10 MPH. I had to shut down the engine and restart. This is very dangerous. We bought the car brand new and have had all the maintenance done. My wife is afraid to drive the car, Is there anything NHTSA can do to have Honda look into this problem. From my looking into this it appears quite a few honda CRV's are encountering this problem. This is unsafe. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back from you

Engine failure while driving on the highway. This is related to the oil dilution issue with the 1.5 turbo engines on our 2018 CRV. Valve got destroyed. Honda dealer replaced the cylinder head under warranty at no cost to us.

I have not experienced a problem with my vehicle yet, but your website says, “If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA”. I am just writing to let you know that I called the dealer, and they told me they do not have a remedy for the problem yet. I am now concerned that I could have a problem but have no way to resolve the issue. I have to travel shortly after Christmas and will just have to pray that nothing happens.

I had all the warning lights come on my 2018 Honda CRV. At one time the car also lost power. I have been visited my dealer 3 times, and still is the same problem!! It has happened 4 times.

When on the highway, if you try to match other cars speed, the car turns on the check engine and starts losing its force. When I check, it says it has a problem with misfire. P0304 & P0303. Honda changed the injectors, coils and spark plugs. The vehicle dilutes a large quantity of gas into the motor oil. 1/4 more of gas than the 3.7 quarts that the engine is supposed to have. The motor is a 1.5 engine. The car isn’t safe because I have to stop on the highway, turn it off and on then start driving again and pray that in 5 minutes the same thing won’t happen again. I’ve had to stop using the car and it’s been parked for 2 months and Honda wipes their hands clean because it’s out of warranty, yet the majority of people with this specific model have the same problem.
