2018 HONDA CR-V Complaints

While driving steering wheel gets stiff making it very difficult to stay in your lane and operate safely vehicle starts to pull to either side compromising everyone safety.

Alternating multiple System Problem messages lit up the Dashboard & a bell sounded. Took car to Honda dealer, diagnosis was faulty fuel injection system which needed to be replaced ( cost estimate $1500). Was told Parts are on back order, won’t be in for 4-6 weeks. Dealer advised not to drive vehicle. Dealer would not offer a loaner.

The CMBS on my CRV inadvertently activated three times. After the third time I learned how to deactivate the system as I was afraid of having an accident. I also made an appointment with Penske Honda, Carmel, IN to review the issue. 1. I was driving 40 mph when suddenly the BRAKE light came on and the brake suddenly activated, but quickly released and all was well. There were no cars behind me. 2. A few days later I was driving on the interstate with cruise set to 60mph. With no warning the BRAKE light came on with a quick sudden stop/go. Even with a brief stop/go I was lucky there were no cars behind me. Due to the speed the sudden stop/go did put pressure on my seat belt. There we no other issues on my 30 min drive home. 3. A week later I was driving 40mph when the BRAKE light came on and a brief brake/go occurred. There was no car or object in front of me the three times this occurred. Due to my fear of driving the car, I continue to disengage the system each time I drive. I visited Penske Honda who looked over the car and found no issues. They adjusted the camera but were not aware of any issues with CMBS. I looked online and found that there were others that experienced my same issue. I will continue to turn off the CMBS since the dealership was unable to diagnose/fix the issue and I'm afraid of driving in traffic where I might suddenly brake for no reason.

Driving on the freeway the splash guard fell partially down, making a horrible sound. It gave no warning.It was a very scary experience.

While driving approximately 30-40 mph, my car beeped the sound it makes when you are too close to an object and slammed on brakes. There was nothing there. All the things on my seat flew to the floor. Thankfully I wasn’t on a busy road and no one was in behind me or there would have been an accident. This could cause major accidents if on a major roads or on a highway. I have not had it checked yet but saw there is an open investigation about this problem through you and wanted to add my car to the list.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle accelerated independently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while the vehicle in front was slowing down, the vehicle failed to slow down as designed. The contact desperately depressed the brake pedal, and the vehicle came to a stop. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 115,000.

For second time in 9 days, car taken to Krenzen Honda dealer, Duluth, MN as car goes into “limp mode” and all warning lights keep cycling through and beeping. When in limp mode, very unsafe for car to suddenly drop to 10 miles per hour - on the freeway, this would be life threatening! Krenzen told us about 2 weeks ago it now needs fuel injectors. We’re told by dealer over 8000 Hondas from 2017-19 in need of fuel injectors. They said could be 4-6 weeks! We live in Tucson, AZ and need to drive home in less than 3 weeks. This is ridiculous to not only need fuel injectors for a 5 year old car, but to wait for such a long time for these parts! IS THIS GOING TO BE A RECALL SOON??

Steering sticks left and right like a magnet is holding it to the left while I constantly over correct. There seems to be a dead spot after I bring the vehicle back to straight. It's dangerous,however after bringing it to a Honda dealer they informed me that they don't see a problem....There is a problem and I disagree, I would not recomend buying a Honda to anyone.

I have been receiving road mitigation problem, adaptive crude control problem, brake system warnings on my car, the dealer is taking a look at it and Honda should be held responsible as these are safety features.

The steering on the vehicle became erratic, the steering wheel could be turned several inches without resistance or the car reacting. This happened at speeds from very slow to moderate. We did not operate the vehicle at interstate speeds given this condition. This problem is intermittent and therefore unpredictable. What is not intermittent is a clicking when turning the steering wheel. We understand from an independent servicer that Honda has a service bulletin recall on this vehicle for this problem, but our Honda dealer said it doesn't apply to our specific VIN number. We are confused and a bit surprised that Honda is not more reactive to this safety issue.
