My crv honda 2015 is stalling and Honda is not associating any recalls to the car.
Car in limp mode stating misfire- Fuel injector issue Plugs and coils were replaced. Car down multiple times, once on highway for 5 hours- dangerous and another time on a corner of a road- dangerous.
While on cruise control at 70mph car went into limp mode reducing speed and unable to accelerate on highway. Check engine light came on. Rested car on highway, then drove another 1.5hr no issues (not using cruise control) - check engine light was off. Checked oil - oil was clean (done less than 1,000 miles ago). Began trip again, oil light came on indicating need for a change. Vehicle went into limp mode for the second time going 70mph. Check engine light came on for the second time, this time blinking. Vehicle was towed. Dealership initially reported all was fine no issues only needed an oil change. Requested Honda dealer to drive on highway - dealer drove on highway reach 60-70mph. Vehicle for the third time went into limp mode needing a second tow. Honda Dealership indicated that the vehicle needed new fuel injectors, however the parts needed to fix the vehicle are back ordered indefinitely. Overall vehicle went into limp mode three times on highway at a fast speed. Vehicle lights for maintenance would go away after vehicle was shut off indicating no issue or further need for evaluations.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
While driving on the highway, vehicles dashboard lights came on and car immediately began to slow down which resulted in a complete stop. Let vehicle rest and started up again no issues. After driving for a period of time it occurred again. Dealership reviewed and reported no problems. Requested dealership to drive vehicle at a higher speed for a period of time. Issue occurred again. After further inspection it was the fuel injectors that were misfiring. At the time, parts were back ordered indefinitely. Vehicle has since been repaired.
high pressure fuel pump leaking gasoline which you can smell from inside the car.
I was driving on busy street at 35 mph suddenly car start stopping and giving jerk . It was not safe as I was driving my new born girl and 6 years old girl suddenly car loss power in motion took to honda dealer nearby they just told me my car high pressure fuel pump failed and it need to be replaced. The car is well maintained with regular oil changes I don't know why such critical part of car failed I don't feel safe anymore in this car
Aug 1, 2021: On rural highway at approx 50-55 mph, all dashboard warning lights came on as engine power was cut drasticly, (over 50%). Minimal traffic, so was able to continue cautiously at very low speed with warning flashers to nearby service station, called local Honda dealer who towed in the CRV. Dealer said the high pressure fuel pump had failed, which they replaced at my cost. No mention by the Honda dealer of any recall campaign, or report to Honda USA or NHTSA
I was driving home and my car went into limp mode in the middle of the freeway. Not sure why my car downshifted and wouldn’t accelerate over 20mph or over 2500rpm. I thought my transmission went out, I was lucky to find a pull off, I shut my car off and then back on to see if I could get to an off ramp and the problem persisted. I had my vehicle towed to my mechanic, the problem was diagnosed and my mechanic said specifically that he has only seen this problem with cars that had faulty fuel pumps that were recalled, my year was not part of the recall, but my make and model was, but only different years. He advised me to report it because of how specific the problem was to the recall of newer models.
AFTER A COLD START THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABLE TO MOVE AT A LIMP MODE (10 MPH MAX) WITH MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER DIAGNOSIS IT WAS REPORTED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED. I WAS REPLACED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. *TR
PURCHASED THIS CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE FROM LOCAL HONDA DEALER WITH 11K MILES IN JULY, 2017. SINCE NOVEMBER 2018 VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT REMAIN RUNNING AFTER REPEATED STARTS. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND HAD TOWED TO DEALER. FIRST DIAGNOSIS RESULTED IN FUEL ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS. SECOND, REPLACED THROTTLE ASSEMBLY . THIRD, FIXED A CONNECTOR'S PIN TO FUEL PUMP. SOMETHING IS EFFECTING THE FUEL PUMP, EG SENSOR OR COMPUTER. AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE HONDA FUEL PROBLEM TODAY (2/15/19) ON NATIONAL NEWS IT DESCRIBES MY EXPERIENCE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED. IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH 22K MILES.
MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ENGINE. A HONDA REP HAS INDICATED THAT IT COULD BE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, AS SOMETIMES THE SIGNAL TO PUSH THE FUEL THROUGH MAY NOT REACH, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR START FROM A STOPPED POSITION.
WHEN I WAS SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU A MAN CAME UP TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT GASOLINE WAS POURING OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE FUEL SMELL WAS OVERWHELMING AND I HAD LOST THE 1/2 TANK OF GAS THAT I HAD. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT RODENTS HAD EATEN THROUGH MY SOY BASED FUEL LINES. WHEN I ASKED WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL FOR THIS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD. I TOTALLY DISAGREE! IF SOMEONE HAD THROWN A CIGARETTE OUT AT THE DRIVE THRU OR AS I DROVE HOME, I WOULD HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES.
EXCESSIVE ENGINE VIBRATION. CABIN VIBRATION 35MPH TO 45MPH. HONDA S/B 15-46 MODE 3. (SOFTWARE CHANGE). THIS SB CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, ANOTHER PROBLEM AROSE: AT IDLE, THE ENGINE WOULD VACILLATE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 750 RPM AND 500 RPM. WHEN AT 500RPM, IT HAD EXTREME VIBRATIONS. RETURNED TO HONDA, AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR MOUNTS AS PER 112OA2 "REPAIRE PROCEDURE DRIVING MODE1: RADIATOR LOWER CUSHIONS, TR S/B 15-046.. (TRANSMISSION MOTOR MOUNT AND RADIATOR SUPPORTS + HEAD RESTS?) UPON LIFTING THE HOOD, THE ENGINE VIBRATES SO MUCH, I COULD SCRAMBLE EGGS ON IT. IN MY OPINION, ALL THEY DID WAS TO USE MORE FLEXIBLE MOUNTS TO0 TRY AND ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION TRANSFER TO THE FRAME. NOW, IT VIBRATES WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING LIKE @ 45 MPH, IT MOMENTARILY SHUDDERS/VIBRATES. SOONER OR LATER, THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FAIL.
PISS POOR FUEL MILEAGE. BRAND NEW VEHICLE TWO TANKS OF GAS AND AVERAGING UNDER 19MPG. 80% HIGHWAY, 20% CITY STREETS. NO HEAVY FOOT AND ECONOMY BUTTON ON. VEHICLE STICKER STATES 27 CITY. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN FOOT IS PLACED ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD FROM A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL FOR UP TO 5 SECONDS. BASICALLY THERE IS A DELAY FROM WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED UNTIL THE VEHICLE RESPONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN PAST 6 TO 7 WEEKS. THIS ACTION HAS HAPPENED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I ESCAPED A NEAR REAR END COLLISION WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND.
WHEN THE CAR WAS SIX MONTHS OLD THERE WAS A ODOR OF GASOLINE. IT TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT A MOUSE AND EATEN THROUGH MY FUEL LINE AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST $980. I TOLD THEM THAT I REFUSE TO EXCEPT THEIR ASSUMPTION AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVE TO ME THAT A MOUSE ATE THROUGH THE FUEL LINE. THEY SHOWED ME THE FUEL LINE AND THERE WAS ONLY A COUPLE SMALL SCARS ON IT WHERE IT WAS LEAKING. AGAIN I TOLD THEM THAT I REFUSE TO EXCEPT THAT AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER TOLD THE MECHANIC TO PUT THE CAR BACK TOGETHER AND "GET IT THE [XXX] OUT OF MY SHOP" THE DATE I PUT ON THIS IS ONLY A GUESS. I DON'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK ANYMORE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
