2018 Honda CR-V fuel/propulsion system problems

“My car will stop when at red lights or stop signs. It’s like it dies. It also flashed 6 different problems at me: Emissions system problem, AWD system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, collision mitigation system problem, road departure mitigation system problem, auto high beam problem. This is so frustrating considering I just got this car, and there’s no recall, but I believe it’s the fuel pump. Please recall this. I can’t put so much money into this car.”

“Had injectors replaced 2 times before it had 100k miles, HONDA KNEW what was happening. One of the men in the service dept told me while having them replaced the 2nd time. I took my car to the dealership at 123k miles and told them theres a problem with my oil getting gas in it but they blamed it on overdue oil change. I was forced to continue driving the car because I got a $7k quote and I couldnt afford to fix it I kept coolant in it and the car runs fine. David told me the head gasket had been blown so long that spark plug was rusted to the head. Now my car has 190k miles on it and they r refusing to fix it under the warranty extension because I didnt get it fixed at 123k. [XXX] at [XXX] told me if id fixed it I would be reimbursed but I was SOL because I couldnt afford to fix it and shouldnt have to pay for it to begin with. I think honda offering to extend the warranty was an easy out. I bought this car brand new, my 1st brand new car ever... and I always changed oil, maintance, never ran it hot... there is no reason a 2018 honda should be broken already. Please do a recall. This is a known problem and they should make it right.”

“The warning lights on the dash all lit up, and upon inspection of the vehicle, gave error code P0172. We took it to the Honda dealership near up, who confirmed that the vehicle needed the fuel injectors replaced. If we did not fix it immediately, our catalytic converter was at risk of also being damaged, along with other parts of the vehicle. We had it fixed, but on our own research, have seen that this is a very common failure in the 2018 Honda CR-V line vehicles.”

“I brought my car into a dealership on 09/25/26 due to recall (system update), no maintenance light is on nor any alerts--was told to replace front tires and to have 90k maintenance done. After the software update-- 3 days later, my dashboard lights all lighted up (Christmas tree). Brought the car back on 09/30/26 because I figured technician failed to calibrate after updating the system software but then I was told i needed to replace the fuel injection parts. The car handbook says to use regular unleaded gasoline 87 or higher. I've been using 87 gasoline and now i'm told that my fuel injections are failing and need replacement. Cost for parts and labor is almost $3000. The service technician advised me to not use 87 because of debris and dirt it contains which cause the fuel injections to fail. This is misleading because i'm following what the car handbook says but then it leads to failure of fuel injection which i am responsible for the repair cost?! Additionally, my MPG is averaging 22 MPG when it's advertised as 25 to 28 MPG for city and 31 to 34 MPG for Highway. I use this car mostly on Highway and Freeway, yet my average is lower than the city. I noticed…”

“Unknown. Please read! I believe my vehicle may have a fuel-pump failure. I purchased/financed my 2018 Honda CR-V Touring in April 2026 at approximately 169,000 miles. On July 9, 2026, in Garland, Texas, my vehicle began experiencing serious starting and driving issues. Multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, and the vehicle had difficulty starting. The engine would crank for an extended period before eventually starting. Once started, the vehicle would not accelerate normally. The accelerator pedal felt unusually resistant, and the vehicle would have difficulty gaining speed. I had to pull over to the side of the road and restart the vehicle multiple times in order to continue driving. This occurred while I was driving in traffic, including on Highway 635, creating a significant safety concern for me and other motorists because I was unable to reliably accelerate when needed. These problems continued intermittently through approximately mid-August 2026. I did not have the vehicle professionally inspected during that period because the warning lights and symptoms appeared to reset on their own, and the vehicle temporarily returned to normal…”

“I am filing this complaint regarding a dispute with Honda concerning reimbursement for a repair that I believe was related to a Honda safety recall involving my vehicle. I own a 2018 Honda CRV-EXL. My vehicle experienced a problem involving the recalled component. I brought the vehicle to Honda, but the issue was not resolved through Honda, and I ultimately had to have the vehicle repaired at another repair facility. I paid approximately $4,700 out of pocket for the repair. I then contacted Honda and requested reimbursement because I believed the repair was related to the recall. Honda eventually sent me a reimbursement of only $250. I have repeatedly attempted to understand why Honda would reimburse only $250 when I paid approximately $4,700 for the repair. However, Honda has not provided me with an exact, detailed explanation showing how they calculated the $250 reimbursement or why the remaining approximately $4,450 was denied. I have asked Honda for an itemized explanation and the specific reason portions of my repair were considered ineligible. Honda has not provided me with a satisfactory explanation or documentation showing how the $250 amount was…”
