There are 8 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2018 Honda CR-Vin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
All lights on dash board on and would not cut off. We were told it was the battery that was bad. The battery in the vehicle was not a year old. We purchased the new battery and within a couple weeks it happened again with all of the lights on. This is a safety matter because this can cause problem with the heads to the motors or can just stop running. We took the car back to the dealer and then they said it maybe the fuel injectors. Now, we are paying for another maybe. This car is sending off different codes. No, one has inspected this car except the dealer. I was informed that if not inspected by Honda that it would not count. No, other symptoms before all lights on dash board just coming on. When the lights on dash board came on it was all light for all operations of the vehicle. We are not paying for fuel injectors to be replaced based on recommendation from Honda. We have several people we know that are currently having this problem with their CRV. Please look into this expensive repair. My car is a 2018 with only 40,000 miles on it. This is not a car driven on a daily basis to work or anything. This is a safety matter as well due to it may just shut off while driving.
Initially we had check engine light on and we felt that the car had difficulty to start after stopped at traffic light. We had to restarted the engine to solve the stall problem. We took the car to a mechanic and he changed oxygen sensor and spark plugs but the problem came back. Then we received the recall letter realized it was exactly the same problem we had. The mechanic re-examined the car and confirmed that fuel pump was the problem. The recall letter told us to wait for replacement. Since we did not have another car we had to use it. On February 16, the situation became worse. We almost ran into crash on high way 95. The check engine light kept flashing and the car seemed to lose power in the middle of high way. We managed to pull over. It was very scary and it was lucky to avoid any harm in this incident.. Talking to Honda service was not helpful. They insisted on us to pay diagnosis fee of $195 to do the evaluation and tried to deny the third-party mechanic's opinion. We lost trust of their objectivity to do a fair check.
On my way home, the car began to tremble and make a very strange noise. I couldn't stop because I was on the highway, the next day all the lights car on the dashboard were on, I dropped my car on the dealer and still is there,.
Danger light came on tell me to pull over
Both driver and passenger day time running lights have burned out. The Honda CR V has 19000 miles on it. Honda did a recall on the Accords for the same issue, why not the CR V and civic that have the same problem.
Shortly after 3 yrs of ownership, problem lights on the dashboard for the entire system turned on (Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Brake Hold System Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Brake System Problem, Emergency Brakes, Emission System Problem, Tire Pressure Monitor Problem, Lane Assist, etc). That was in August 2021. We were told a new battery was needed, so we changed it. The lights went off. Eventually it happened again. The battery was readjusted, so it reset everything. It has happened several other times. It happened again recently (April 2022) while driving. The safety issue took place during this incident when the vehicle started to decelerate (from 45 MPH) on a busy road. We barely made it to the shoulder, turned off the car, and restarted it. This keeps happening with no repair solution yet.
THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT WEATHER-TIGHT AND ACCUMULATE MOISTURE FROM WASHING THE CAR OR FROM RAIN. AT NIGHT WHEN USING THE HEADLIGHTS, THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHT LENS FOGS UP FROM THE COLLECTED MOISTURE AND REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LIGHTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND THERE WAS ALREADY A LAYER OF DUST ON THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLIGHT LENSES WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION OF IT. AS THE VEHICLE AGES, THE LIGHT OUTPUT OF THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS MORE AND MORE DUST COLLECTS. OBVIOUSLY, THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A DECENT HEADLIGHT. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM STARTING FROM DAY OF PURCHASE. I HAVE PUT THE DATE OF PURCHASE AS A DATE OF OCCURRENCE.
WHEN EVER I DRIVE MY CAR IN CITY AND HIGHWAY I SMELL GAS OR BURN SMELL STRONG IN CABIN .I RECENTLY NOTICE THAT MY FRONT HEADLIGHT CHANGE INTO BRIGHT AND HIT THE ORDER CAR DRIVER FACE DIRECTLY IN TWO WAY STREETS AND NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS ONE TIMES
