NHTSA Complaint #11154143 — 2017 HONDA CR-V

ENGINE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES IN LAST ONE YEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM YELD/STOP. IT HAPPED TWICE WHILE YIELDING AND MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS; WE WERE LUCKY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES ON HIGHWAY DURING MERGING, OTHERWISE SITUATION WOULD HAVE THE WORST . ALSO ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD FLASHES WITH FAILURE WARNINGS. AT THAT POINT ENGINE ALMOST STALLED RUNNING ONLY AT SPEED OF 10 M/H ATLEAST WHICH HELPED ME TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. I SWITCHED OFF AND ON, ENGINE CAME LIVE, BUT ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE STILL THERE. WARNINGS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE CLEARED ONLY NEXT DAY AFTER WHOLE NIGHT IDLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND ALSO PROVIDED THEM THE VIDEO THAT MY FRIEND SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT RECORDED WHILE INCIDENT HAPPENED. DEALERSHIP TRIED TO PULL THE ERROR CODE, BUT NONE WERE FOUND. DEALER ASKED ME TO KEEP THE VEHICLE WITH DEALERSHIP AS THEY NEED TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. FORTUNATELY THEY REPRODUCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, AND FOUND THE ENGINE CYLINDER MISFIRES IN 1 AND 4. THEY INTIMATED HONDA ENGINEERING FOR ASSISTANCE, AND HONDA ASSISTED THEM TO RECALIBRATE THE SYSTEM WITHOUT FINDING THE ROOT CAUSE. DEALERSHIP RECALIBRATED AND DIRECTED BY HONDA AND TOLD ME THAT IF THE ISSUE HAPPENS AGAIN THAT WILL BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THESE TRANSCRIPTS WERE RECORDED IN SERVICE HISTORY OF MY VEHICLE. THE SAME ISSUE APPEARED YESTERDAY AGAIN. WHEN I RESEARCHED ABOUT THE ISSUE ON INTERNET, MOST OF THEM COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ENGINLE OIL AND GAS MIXUP. I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL WITH OIL CHECK STICK PROVIDED BY HONDA, AND OIL LEVELS ARE WAY ABOVE THAN MAX MARK AND OIL SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE; AND MORE OVER THE OIL LOOK VERY THIN ALMOST LIKE WATER THICKNESS.
