NHTSA Complaint #11701999 — 2017 HONDA CR-V

Monday (11/17/2025) after work: car vibrated <10 seconds then stopped when turning on car. Tuesday (11/18/2025): ALL warning lights came on. Schedule appt at Honda for Saturday when they could see us. Wednesday (11/19/2025) was driving to AutoZone to have battery checked (>3 years ago all lights went on and it was the battery) when car went from 70mph on highway to not exceeding 20mph with my family in the car during rush hour. I had to stay on the road as there was no shoulder resulting in a near mass car accident as everyone slammed brakes to avoid me. Went <20mph to closest car shop (right off the exit). Car shop without looking said most likely the head gasket which is a known Honda CRV 2017 issue. Said maybe spark plugs so we tried as its a significantly less costly fix which did not solve the issue. Had it towed to Baierl Honda on Friday (11/21/2025) before the car was even at Honda the worker told us it was a head gasket issue. Once looking they confirmed $5000 head gasket issue with potential for another $5000 in damage once they open the engine. There are several class action lawsuits out for this very issue which is a huge safety risk to those in the car as well as those around as the engine stops working no matter what speed you are traveling. We reached out to Honda corporate and have yet to hear back. We have not cleared Honda Baierl to work on the problem yet so it has been sitting in their lot.
