2017 Honda CR-V Brakes Problems

I am reporting a recurring safety issue with my 2017 Honda CR-V. The vehicle has experienced repeated incidents where multiple warning lights suddenly illuminate at the same time. In some instances, the lights disappear temporarily and then return. I replaced the battery, but the warning lights returned within two weeks. About one year ago, the Honda dealer recommended replacing all four fuel injectors, which I did at significant cost. Despite this repair, the problem reoccurred. Most recently, all warning lights came on again and the vehicle lost power and became undrivable. This presents a serious safety concern, especially if it occurs while driving. I have learned that many other 2017 Honda CR-V owners report similar fuel injector and warning-light issues. I believe this may indicate a widespread defect and request that NHTSA investigate this matter for potential recall or corrective action. Thank you for pay close attention to this matter!

Driving down a local road with a speed limit of 40 mph. The car suddenly braked and the BRAKE warning light show on the dashboard. No others cars were near me, in all direction. It was clear sunny/dry day. Had to accelerate to prevent car from stop. to s void a possible rear end crash.

Date of Incident: [XXX] Location: NYC, [XXX]. Mileage: 95,000 Description of Incident: On [XXX] while driving my 2017 Honda CR-V at approximately [XXX] at 20 mph I experienced a sudden brake system failure. When I pressed the brake pedal fully to stop the vehicle, the pedal felt extremely hard and resistant, and the vehicle continued moving, failing to slow or stop as expected and hitting the vehicle in front. While no major accident happened due to how slow I was going, This occurred as I was approaching a traffic light. I did not apply the electronic parking brake (EPB) during the incident. No warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard at the time of the failure. Immediately after the incident, the brakes began functioning normally again, suggesting an intermittent issue. I am concerned about the reliability of the brake system, especially given reports of brake issues in 2017–2019 CR-Vs. I have not yet had the vehicle inspected but plan to tow it to a Honda dealership or mechanic for diagnosis. I am reporting this to ensure the NHTSA is aware of this potential safety defect, which may be related to the ongoing investigation into 2017–2019 Honda CR-V brake systems. Please contact me for additional information if needed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving 25 mph on a straight road, the automatic braking system engaged with beep sound only but not on the dash display as it should. the car was suddenly braked to a stop. nothing was near or in front of the car.

While driving down a main road, with no other vehicles or obstacles around/in front of me, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) beeped/flashed and my car came to almost a dead stop in the middle of the road. This happened without warning, or any previous warning/issues. Luckily no accident happened, as I don't believe a vehicle was behind me (but this could've gone horribly wrong had there been). It was a very windy day. I took it to a Honda dealership the same week, they found no issues and also could not reproduce this. I called Honda Customer Service, who was apologetic, but really no help, and only filed a complaint for me. I see this as being a high potential safety hazard for accidents, etc., and it makes me nervous now driving my vehicle, especially since this is something I cannot turn off. I wanted to file a report here as well, in hopes that investigations are happening for this issue.

Multiple times when driving the vehicle will slam on the brakes without warning when there is nothing in front of the vehicle. I have taken it to Honda multiple times and they cannot fix it due to being unable to recreate the spontaneous issue. Also, they did try to recalibrate the sensor, and it still did not work. I don't feel safe driving this car and can't sell it knowing it is dangerous.

Vehicle braked to a sudden stop while crossing intersection which was completely clear of any traffic. The road surface had street car rail lines which were well maintained and even. We were lucky to be wearing seat belts at the time. This is the second occasion it happened. I pray that it will not happen during freeway driving speed. Please give this your attention for a quick resolution before someone gets hurt. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I took my CRV to replace the tires and get the brakes done. The mileage was 134583. While in the shop the mechanic showed me the brake lines for the front. Both front brake lines had large bulges, balloon-like, and appeared ready to burst. It seemed unusual for both brake lines to exhibit the same failure, at the same time, through regular wear and tear. In reviewing available data, brake lines are expect to last the life of the vehicle and this certainly did not, presenting a potential safety risk. I asked the mechanic to provide me with the brake lines, which I have included photos of below, and will share with Honda (Heritage Honda in Bel Air, MD) where the vehicle was purchased. Note the bulges in the photo are much less once the brake lines were disconnected; however the area where the bulges were is still apparent.

I was driving about 25 miles per hour, there were no cars in front of me (in either direction). The car suddenly slammed on the brakes for no reason. My passenger and I were both thrown towards the steering wheel and dashboard, things came flying from the back seat to the front, falling down by the pedals. I was very nearly rear ended, the car behind me was able to swerve to the left but was extremely angry. The car went into neutral, but possibly because something came from the back seat and hit the gearshift, I'm not sure about that. I was stuck in neutral with traffic horns blaring at me. If I'd have been pulling out into traffic when this happened I would easily have been hit broadside. I brought my car to the dealer, they said there was nothing wrong and that perhaps I didn't understand how the system works. I'm certain that it is not meant to bring the car to a screeching halt when there is literally nothing in front of you anywhere.

The engine failed and I was stranded 60 miles from home.all the dash lights were blinking and I couldn’t get the parking brake to unlock . It is available for inspection . I was stranded at a service station with another senior citizen for three hours in 100 degree plus weather. We were stranded and our safety was compromised as we waited for help . I had it towed to a dealer 20 miles away . Rented a hotel and got an Uber to the car the next morning . The auto repair person examined the car and determined that the turbo fan had disintegrated and was sucked into the engine . After further rested he reported the engine had failed and it would cost $8 000. Many of the lights and sensors suddenly began to blink . The car lost some power but we were able to limp to the gas station . Hello [XXX] , Here are my technicians findings, due to the metal moving through the oil passages he recommends replacing the engine and turbo "verified engine running rough. retrieved operative dtcs p0299(PGM-FI) and u0416-68(IDSS). U0416-68 likely caused by millimeter wave radar software. rec. update. p0299 and rough running. turbo underboost issue. road tested and captured snapshots. found turbo not boosting. found intercooler and pipes not leaking. found evap purge not leaking. inspected and found turbocharger turbine damaged. turbine debris through intake system from turbo to throttle body and into intake. on road test dtc p2101 electric throttle control malfunction was set and vehicle entered limp mode. found significant debris in throttle body likely causing dtc. suspect debris has entered engine and potential cause for further problems. can only speculate cause for turbo failure. oiling system may be cause. teardown would be necessary for further identification of cause. engine and turbo replacement recommended" Please let me know if you have any other questions i can help answer.

for the 3rd time the vehicle's brakes have failed. First time was April of 2021 when the brakes failed and the car went backwards and did not stop and knocked over my mailbox and went into the road. I then put the car in drive and went forward and had to put the gear in Park quickly. I had the Honda dealership examine the car and found no problem. The same problem occurred earlier this year when I backed up and the brakes failed the same way. This time I went into the street. I had the car towed to Honda dealership and they found nothing wrong. Last Wednesday I was slowly pulling into a car space when at a low speed the brakes failed and slammed into a client's building. Damage occurred to their building. I am waiting for the dealership to examine the car Wednesday Nov 2. I am afraid to drive the car.

Driving in my neighborhood there is construction work being done, where metal plates have been placed in the road. When driving over these metal plates, I begin to lightly apply brakes as to slow down driving over these metal plates. The Automatic Braking System alerts me to BRAKE in the Notification Center of my dashboard & automatically applies the brakes to a complete stop. This has happened twice now, in the same place of my neighborhood resulting in my seatbelt tightening & the car to jolt myself forward. Eventually this will result in an accident if there is a car traveling behind me the next time I go over these metal plates. This problem has been reported my numerous other drivers of 2016-2020 Honda Vehicles and is currently under investigation. After my research, it has become clear to me that when vehicles are taken to dealerships after these incidents they are returned without any indication of problems with the vehicles. I have a small child and often travel with my dog, unrestrained in my vehicle as most pet owners do and am concerned that if they are in the vehicle the next time this happens & there just so happens to be a car behind me, one or all of us would be hurt. Because Honda is taking its time to address this problem, and issue a recall the dealerships will do nothing about it until that point.

While driving on the freeway at 65 mph, the car's brakes suddenly went on causing the car to swerve and almost be hit by another car. This is the 3rd time that this has happened in the last year.

I parked my car in the garage. I can't start it. The light of break system is on.

On Saturday June 18, 2022 at 9:56 a m I was pulling my 2017 HONDA CRV into a parking space at my local Food Lion in Madison, NC. As soon as I took my foot off the gas pedal and slowly pressed the brakes, the engine immediately revved up, accelerated highly and lurched forward not stopping until I hit an unoccupied vehicle head on in front of me. At the same time side swiping an unoccupied vehicle to the left of me. Thankfully no one was injured. Total of {3} vehicles involved causing several thousands dollars of damage. Was inspected by the police and there were no warning signs; it just happened immediately. When researching on line about problems of HONDA CRV"s this issue was listed numerous times: UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. Something needs to be done about this problem before people are killed!

I was parked at a local pharmacy. I put the vehicle in reverse and the car would not move I had to call a tow truck to take my car to my home. I was advised by a mechanic who read my car electronically that it was the RR Brake Caliper Only the left side is responding the right is totally out and that's why it's locked up. I now have to take my vehicle back to the Honda dealership to get it fixed. I've had to get rides to work and unsure if this is covered under my warranty. If not I'll have to pay with funds that I do not have. The vehicle had been shaking slightly as I made stops that day. If I had been on the road I may have been rear-ended if I had to make a stop. There were no warning information messages prior to this incident occurring.

I bought this car on April 30,2022 for $30,000. It had18,0000 (plus) miles. Within 6 months the idiot lights would come on and all safety controls were cancelled. When this first happened, I was frightened that I would be involved in an accident or the car would just shut down. I called a Dealer close by and was told by their service manager to take it to an Auto store, have them put it on their computer to tell me what was wrong. I did that. Was told I needed an oil change. Had the oil change and things were ok for about 4 days when all lights came back on again scaring the h__l out of me. Had a private mechanic check it out and was told it needed an oxygen sensor. Then the car wouldn't start. Turned out the battery was low, so I replaced the battery. Warning lights did not go on for a couple of days. I then went to the local Honda dealer who told me to bring the car in and for $190 they would use their computers to tell me what was wrong. Can you imagine what Chutzpa that takes? They, knowing what the problem was yet charging me to tell me. I am now out of State. Took vehicle into closest dealership for oil change, tire rotation. Told service of dashboard lights, what I had done so far, and asked them to figure out problem. They said I needed $1500 fuel injectors which would have been covered by the warranty but that ran out on length of time. The car only had 30,000 miles but was 6 years old. Suggested I ask Honda for an extension of the warranty to cover costs. The lights are still continuously on now. All safety features are essentially off. I am afraid to drive it in fear of having an accident. I have contacted America Honda for an extension of the warranty and will attach that timeline and phone calls to/from them. The reason for doing this is that I do not believe installing new fuel injectors will fix this problem. I think it is in the computer system itself. And I am in danger of having a crash.09

Brake warning activated for no apparent reason and brakes were engaged while traveling at 45 mph and 30 mph on two occasions. Fear rear end collision, but in both instances there was no collisions. Have not taken it to dealer based on research of this problem as reported by other drivers. No inspections were made at the time of this writing. Brake warning light came on with no time to react and brakes were engaged without driver intervention.

Driving around 18MPH, I was approaching a small bridge when the brake message appeared simultaneously to the automatic braking of the car. Luckily, I was going slowly, no one in front of or behind me. It was extremely abrupt and frightening. I cannot imagine what might have happened if I had been going faster.

I was driving down the road going about 45. All of the sudden the orange brake warning came up on my dash, the car beeped, and the brakes engaged themselves and I came to almost a complete stop. There was nothing in front of me. But there were cars behind me. I’m lucky I didn’t get hit from behind or cause and accident.
