2017 HONDA CR-V Power Train Problems

P0301 code Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected.

ALL dash lights came on and it showed all safety systems had faults. Took it to the dealership and was told I needed injectors. I have looked into this issue and many CR-V models have had warranty extensions for this exact issue. Lucky me mine is not one of the one's in the VIN group for this extension. So I am facing a $2,000 bill. The car is still driveable but its hard to feel safe with random dash lights coming on.

Head gasket failure due to ineffective cooling between cylinder 2 and 3

The head gasket is failing. The vehicle loses power on the freeway and on city streets, putting the driver & passengers at increase risk for collision. The dealer diagnosed the problem. We've had warning lights & symptoms since early in 2024, with no success in resolving the problem. Coil pack replaced in December 2024 and again in Feb 2025.

My 2017 CR-V (~$80k miles) will randomly fire every system or warning alert on the dashboard. This includes vital or important alerts like Brakes, Check engine light, Tire pressure, etc. There has been no way to reset it, and it persists through car restarts, system reboots, and driving. The first time this happened was [XXX], and I was able to reset it. However, it has returned a month and a half later ([XXX]) and there has been no remedy or reset that has worked. This issue is extremely dangerous, as it completely mitigates the safety features put in place for this vehicle. With all of the system warnings misfiring and no way to reset or check which are legitimate versus a complication, I am putting myself and others at risk if I drive. I will not know if there is a true issue with a tire, my engine, my brakes......

I replaced fuel injectors in my 2017 honda crv in September 2024 at Northtown Honda in Buffalo, NY. In November 2024 my girlfriend was driving the vehicle in Michigan and the car slowed down to below 20 mph on the highway and flashed all dashboard warning lights, what Honda refers to as "limp mode". This almost caused her get hit by a semi truck. The car was towed to Honda of Grand Blanc and I was told it needs a new turbo. The turbo was replaced and then in December 2024 the car again broke down while I was visiting Toronto, Canada. I had to pay for a tow back to Northtown Honda where I was informed that the vehicle needs a new engine and turbo. I have taken very good care of my vehicle, always done proper maintenance and oil changes. This model is known for some oil dilution...

The vehicle experienced multiple system failures, indicated by error messages in 11 different systems, including the check engine light. The affected systems were Tire Pressure Monitoring, Brake System, Electronic Power Steering, Vehicle Stability Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Road Departure Mitigation, Electric Parking Brake, Emissions System, Brake Hold System, Hill Start Assist, and Collision Mitigation System. The vehicle was checked with a code scanner. The codes retrieved were “DTC 0300 Random Misfire, DTC P0301 No1 Cylinder Misfire, P0172 Fuel System (B1) Too Rich and DTC P0304 No4 Cylinder Misfire” No other system faults were detected despite the earlier errors. The direct injection fuel injectors and engine design seem to be the probable cause. There has been no inspection by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives at this time. The vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request. There were no pre-warning lamps, messages, or symptoms before the failure, suggesting the...

Earlier this week and again today, my wife and I were using our 2017 Honda CR-V EX when the car behaved very anomalously. In both of these instances, the car started normally and moved out onto the street, but then the engine abruptly bogged down and multiple messages of the form "xxx System Has A Problem" would cycle on the driver's display. At this time, the car would barely move forward or reverse, and shifting into reverse ("R") was accompanied by a noticeable jerk and a thump. The shifter display on the driver's display also appeared to be showing all of the possible shift settings at once. One or two cycles of rebooting the system on the infotainment/backup camera display appeared to clear the engine operation problem, but the error messages persisted for several miles and several restarts before they abruptly disappeared. Note that the streets here in Florida are...

The transmission, brakes, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 56,300.

I was driving my Honda CRV 2017 on I-65 in Birmingham - Montgomery area in Alabama in March 2024 and suddenly in the middle of the busy highway the vehicle stalled and wouldn’t drive even after stepping on the accelerator a little harder. I then turned on my emergency lights to signal to the behind vehicles that I have and emergency situation became I was in the middle of a busy highway and the vehicle simply wouldn’t drive. I managed to pull aside of the highway and turned the engine off because I didn’t know what the issue was. After a few minutes I started the vehicle again and drove a few miles and the vehicle stalled again. After a couple of repeated cycle, I got the vehicle to a nearby Honda dealership for diagnostic testing which later revealed that the fuel injectors, the head gasket, the turbo system etc...

3 main issues: (July 2023) Suddenly when trying to accelerate on the interstate, I could not. I pulled over, turned the car off, and back on, and did not have the problem again for several months. (December 2023) Car started to sputter upon turning on. After a minute it ran fine. Continuous problem. (January 2024) Every single service light came on. Car would still operate but without cruise control, lane detecting, electric brake and every other feature. Lights remain on and flashing while driving. Still sputtered upon turning on but would stop after a minute. Several times when putting in drive, would not accelerate past 15mph approx). After restarting, the engine would seem to operate fine while all service lights remained on with functions of each not working. One day the car operated fine and did so for several days. Then the problems started again. I took it in for...

In August my 2017 Honda CRV started losing acceleration and felt like it was stalling. Every light on the dashboard came on. I brought it to herb chambers in Westborough and they fixed the turbo charger, the vehicle was still under warranty so I expected to get the issue fixed. In early December the newly 'fixed' honda CR-V started losing acceleration, similar to the previous time. I got the car to the dealership and they fixed the same issue again but charging around 3000$ because now the car wasn’t under warranty. On Saturday January 6th I started up the 2017 Honda CRV with the intentions of going to Herb Chambers in Westborough. (10-15 miles). The CRV again loses acceleration and check engine light comes on along with every other light in the book. Realizing I was not going to make it to Herb Chambers, I pulled into a lot to...

My honda when I was driving on my dash started going crazy and says power steering, brakes, tire pressure, adaptive cruise control etc.. I can use any of my safety features when driving the car is constantly telling me there's all these things wrong.

Beginning 8/22 and currently happening, my 2017 CR-V 1.5L Turbo with 48K miles (and all routine services done at Honda dealership/service centers since buying it brand new) does not engage when going from Reverse to Drive; in 1st gear the RPMS increase up to 3K or so before shifting into 2nd gear. When stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, and the car is idling, when starting up again the car hesitates and shutters before engaging. When on the highway and slow down for traffic or switching lanes, the vehicle hesitates even when pushing the gas pedal consistently or down all the way. I have had the vehicle into three different Honda dealerships/service centers and they can replicate the issue but no resolution as there are no service codes identified during diagnostics and none appear on the dash. First Honda advisor came up with no recommendations; 2nd advisor flushed...

Fuel injector System issue which disables KEY safety features of our CR-V's when it occurs. An injector issue should NOT cause safety features of the CR-V to stop working (ex. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, TPS, Hill Start Assist, Braking, etc...) In addition to the disabling key safety features, this CR-V's have reportedly gone into limp mode while at highway speeds. If this occurs to you while you have a 18 wheeler on your rear, you could potentially be in a serious injury/life event.

All alerts on dashboard are active - Emission, Brakes, hill-assist, auto high-beam, collision mitigation system, etc. Can no longer drive my car safely. Dealer confirmed. The car just had its oil changed and air filter replaced.

Major driveability/safety issue. The vehicle started skipping and jerking on highway I-93 on the New Hampshire/ Massachusetts line. I was accelerating to 65 mph and merged with traffic, when the car engine began stalling intermittently. The check engine and maintenance indicator lights turned on. As I coasted to the side of the road, the vehicle continued to jerk and slow/speed up.

CRV was running fine with zero problems prior to this incident. Stopped at a red light and when the light turned green the car would not move. Transmission would not go into gear. Dealer has vehicle and stated that the belt in the transmission broke, 2nd shaft not moving. Requires a brand new transmission

My wife was driving the car with her 2 friends on highway left lane , all the sudden the engine light flash and the engine was stalling (cannot accelerate). She was driving 55mph before , all the sudden she only can driving 20mph even she gas up. Luckily she was able to pull over to the right lane and parked on the right side zebra lane. Then I went to help my wife I was only 5-10 minutes from where she was. I drove off the highway with 22mph even I gas up (unable to accelerate past 25th). I got out the highway then turn off and on the engine then the light disappeared. Next day we drove then emission system problem light turn on, same turn off and on the engine then the light disappeared. Next day Monday I went to my mechanic and he told me there no...

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? 2017 Honda CR-V transmission (CVT) has a leak. Brought to Honda dealership, they diagnosed with faulty torque converter seal. Yes, it is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Transmission fluid is leaking, will lead to possible transmission failure in near future at any time. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Car was taken to dealership and they told me it is not worrisome that transmission is leaking and to check the level more frequently. Looked on Honda forums regarding issue and problem happens in all honda models with their CVT and wide mileage range on cars affected. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps,...

The push button knob on the gear shift broke when putting the car into reverse, during normal use. This resulted in being unable to use the gear shift to shift gears. This put passengers and pedestrians in danger in a parking lot, as the car was then unable to be shifted into park. When the CRV is unable to be put into park, the engine will not fully turn off. A 29 May 2019 Honda Service Bulletin exists for this problem and is found on NHTSA.gov. There were no warnings or symptoms before the incident occurred.

The issue was reported on 08OCT2022 to a Phil Hughes Honda. The vehicle was brought into the Phil Hughes on 13OCT2022 due to all the lights on the dash were lit up but was drivable to the dealer. Prior to completing the Service Bulletin 19-032, Phil Hughes Honda diagnosed with P0301 (Cylinder 1) misfiring and P0172 (fuel system too rich). The lead service tech has already mentioned the root cause is the fuel injectors causing the misfire and fuel system too rich. I had the vehicle for less than one day after the completion of the service bulleting 09-032. There was lost of power on the road on three (3) different occasions. Loss of power means the vehicle went into "limp" mode during normal road driving and dropped acceleration from normal speed 60mph to ~20mph and continued to decelerate to about ~10mph. The vehicle was pulled over, turned off for...

The automatic gear shift button completely broke off cant shift into any gear we bought it used and you can tell whoever had it before us or the dealership glued the button back so it worked for awhile

Fuel injectors failed at 45k miles, resulting in PO304 and PO172. Engine dies at speed causing the vehicle to stop and requires a restart to resume acceleration. Problem is intermittent and happens without notice. Dealer confirmed failed fuel injectors. Vehicle stops enters limp mode (0% power, does not respond to accelerator input) at random speeds. vehicle needs full stop and restart to resume driving. Yes, Dealer confirmed fuel injectors are faulty and suggests this is fairly common with this model CRV Yes, Honda will replace the injectors. Suggest the failure is common but not covered under warranty or goodwill repair All dashboard warning lights (Brake System Failure, Parking Brake Failure, Traction Control, Power Steering, Lane Keeping, Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Etc.)

The shifter knob fell out of the shifter while in drive (operation) causing the vehicle to not be able to be shifted into neutral/park when stopped. The issue is a known issue as reporting in TSB 19-063 but the VIN of my vehicle is not included in the TSB.

while shifting into park shifter release button came out.Plastic broke on shifter release button.Had to temporarily reinstall button each time want to shift.I see there are a lot of complaints of same problem.Have worked for 32 years as an aircraft mechanic and know a part not designed correctly.

on 5/7/2022, noticed vehicle overheated with no warning indicators other than temp gauge had risen. upon checking vehicle noticed cooling fan was not running and found coolant low. fan would run when AC was engaged clearing possible faulty fan. upon adding coolant, the fan engaged itself. This appears to be a flaw in the design of the electrical system of the vehicle that could lead to disabling the vehicle due to overheating with no prior warnings or indicators, especially since the fan is unable to run when the coolant is low to help keep engine cool.

Emergency braking engaged unexpectedly, electronic module failure ,all warning lights flashed on the information system , vehicle would not turn off, headlights flashing, windshield wipers engaged without input from driver. Transmission would not engage. This would be very dangerous if had occurred on highway , it occurred in a rural area with very little traffic.

shifter knob button broke off! unable to control car when this important gadget is broken! can not control the gears now. can not move to P or D or R, etc. no warning at all. just fell off yesterday. luckily this happened while it was parked in a parking lot.

The gear shift popped off making us unable to put the car in drive whenever it was in park. The gear shift also came off as well.

Brought the vehicle to Honda dealership due to check engine warning. Codes P0172 and P219F appeared. Honda tech performed 19-032 procedure and cleared the warning light. Three weeks later the warning light appeared again.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while parked at his residence, he went to change gears in his vehicle, and the gear shift was unable to shift. The contact stated that the piece that is attached to the gear shift had suddenly broken off The contact stated that he had to manually pair the broken peace to the gear shift in order to change gears. The contact stated that he contacted the dealer and he was advised that there were no recalls on his vehicle ,however there has been several complaints about the same failure on other vehicles, same year, make, and model. The contact stated he has not contacted the manufacture at this time. The contact stated he will be getting his vehicle repaired ,however he is concerned that he could experience the failure while driving the vehicle. The mileage failure was 40,000.

The shift button broke off the handle to control drive train and car was in drive. Could not turn engine off or shift to park.

44,000 miles all warning lights come on. Dealer says, need new injectors and a pipe. to my knowledge injectors were redesigned. still coming on but car runs smoot. and very good gas mileage.

I was driving with my grandchildren in my 2017 CR-V AWD and when I stopped the vehicle I was unable to put the car in park. I could not move the gear shift and then the gear shift knob fell off. I had to call my husband who was able to rig it so that we could put the car in our driveway. I researched online and on this site and see that it is a known problem. I took the car to the dealership today. They stated that it was a recall but that my car VIN was not included in the recall. My car was the first one that they had repaired that was not included in the recall. I had it fixed and paid $82.96. It is not just the money that upsets me but the fact that I was stuck with no way to put my...

The shift lever push button fell off while I was driving the car. Luckily it did not cause an accident to me. Now the car is unusable until repaired.

When driving, the gear shift button fell out. I was able to temporarily continue putting it in to shift gears, but then the internal part crumbled and the gear will not lock/permanently pressed in. Overnight, this caused my car to lose power (battery drain)? Will require replacement to be installed; cannot use car in meantime.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while shifting gears, the shifter button detached without warning. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.

UKNOWN. The button on the shifter knob broke when I shifted from park into reverse. I have to reassemble it every time I need to shift.

Entire system failure occurred while driving on a 4-lane interstate at speeds of 70 mph in congested traffic in air temps of 80 F (sunny). Vehicle lost all power both electrical / mechanical for roughly four to five seconds. There was immediate deacceleration and zero power (electrical / mechanical). Driver's immediate response was to remove hands from steering wheel and removed foot from gas in a state of shock/disbelief. Vehicle then restarted itself and resumed function. Driver was put at extreme risk as well as all other drivers / vehicles in surrounding roadway due to the extreme deacceleration with no warning. Incident reported to dealer who stated they had not heard of such an occurrence and requested vehicle be brought in for a $120 diagnostic check. Vehicle purchased new. Mileage at time of incident 20,000.

While driving down the road, the button on the gear shifter popped off. It’s the button you push to move the shifter from Park to Drive, etc. I pulled over, but could not put the vehicle in Park or any other gear. Being already in Drive, I drove to Hendrick Honda in Easley, SC where they quickly put in a new button. It cost about $75. I was told that this is a known problem in 2017 Honda CRVs, the plastic attachment breaks and must be replaced. I was told that “there was a recall on some vehicles”, but there was no recall on mine. If there is a known problem affecting the shifting, it should be recalled and repaired. Turning off the vehicle in Drive, with no option to use Park is not safe. I could use the parking brake, of course. At a minimum, owners should know about...

GEAR SHIFTER BUTTON POPPED OUT AND AS A RESULT I COULD NOT TURN OFF THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT ABOUT TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE WHEN IT HAPPENED. SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND FROM DRIVE TO PARK ALSO WAS VERY TRICKY.

ENGINE OIL LEVELS ARE HIGH DUE EXCESSIVE DILUTION BY PETROLEUM. AS A RESULT THE OIL PAN IS HIGH CAUSING OIL LEAKS. THERE ARE NEW OIL DRIPS IN MY GARAGE EVERY DAY. I'M SURE THE ENGINE OIL IS LEAKING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I DRIVE; I ALSO NOTICE OIL DRIPS ON THE GROUND AT WORK. THE OIL LEVEL CONTINUES TO BE HIGH EVEN WITH THE LEAKS. HONDA DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE OIL HAS PETROLEUM IN IT. HONDA ALSO ACCEPTS DILUTION IS NORMAL IN THEIR CARS WITH THIS ENGINE, YET THE DEALERSHIP DENIED ANY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY ADDED A DYE AND ASKED THAT I CONTINUE DRIVING AND COME BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGE WHICH WILL BE DUE IN ABOUT 3000 MILES. THE OIL MIXED WITH PETROL CAUGHT ON FIRE WHEN I WAS SMOKING IN THE GARAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR EVERYONE THAT WORKS IN THEIR GARAGE, SMOKES,...

RECENTLY REPLACED BATTERY IN SUMMER OF 2020. GAVE THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION A JUMP AND UPON STARTING, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED THAT HAVE TO DO WITH SOME OF THE SMART VEHICLE CONTROL. ONCE BATTERY WAS INSTALLED LIGHTS WENT AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS. BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUOUSLY APPEARED ON THE DASH IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING. THESE LIGHTS HAVE TO DO WITH CRUISE CONTROL, HILL START ASSIST, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE. WHILE AT FIRST, IT WAS THOUGHT THE LIGHTS WERE GIVING A FALSE POSITIVE, BUT NOW, IT IS CONFIRMED THAT THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT THE LIGHTS ARE INDICATING ARE NOT WORKING POSING NUMEROUS SAFETY CONCERNS. HONDA CORPORATION AND HONDA DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT DEALT WITH OR PROPOSED ANY SOLUTIONS ON THE MATTER. LIVING IN A WINTER CLIMATE, ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS VITAL AND AFTER A RECENT SNOW EVENT, THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT FUNCTIONING...

VEHICLE ROLLS AWAY IN PARK. AT VARIOUS UNSPECIFIED TIMES THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MAINTAIN THE PARKING GEAR. FIRST EXAMPLE TOOK PLACE ON SLIGHTLY SLANTED DRIVEWAY: WHEN PLACED INTO PARK THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD (ALL WHEELS MOVING) AND OWNER JUMPED BACK IN TO HIT THE BRAKE SO AS TO AVOID ROLLING INTO ANYONE/ANYTHING. DEALERSHIP HAS DUPLICATED THE ISSUE MANY TIMES AND APPEARS UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING INTO THE GARAGE AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON DETACHED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SOME RESEARCH, SHE LEARNED THAT THE DETACHING OF THE GEAR SHIFTER BUTTON WAS A COMMON FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 50MPH THE GEAR BUTTON FOR SHIFTER CAME OFF. LUCKILY IT LANDED IN THE CUP HOLDER OTHERWISE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT INTO PARK ONCE STOPPED AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN STILL BE IN DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY PUT IT BACK IN PLACE SO THAT I COULD PUT INTO PARK. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY.

ON THE 4TH (AROUND 20K MILES) OIL CHANGE FROM DEALERSHIP I COMPLAINED ABOUT DRIVER SIDE SEAT CUSHION AND BRAKE PEDAL MAKING SQUEAKY NOISE. I WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL IN NEW CAR DURING THE BREAKIN PROCESS AND EVENTUALLY IT'LL GO AWAY. NOW IT'S EVEN WORSE AT ABOVE 50K MILES AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHARGES. CAR ALSO HAS FUEL AND OIL MIXING ISSUE WHICH I BROUGHT IT UP ON MY RECENT VISIT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THEY'LL NEED TO DRAIN THE OIL AND REFILL WITH NEW OIL AND FILTER TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. WHILE THEY WERE TAKING OUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PRESENCE OF FUEL BUT THE SMELL OF FUEL IN ENGINE OIL IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE'S BEEN TIME WHERE VEHICLE WILL BE STUCK IN HIGH RPM WHEN ON HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED DURING HIGH SPEED. AND EVENTUALLY IT'LL SHIFT THE GEAR AFTER 5-10...
