Incident: August 27, 2026 · Filed: October 27, 2026

While driving my 2017 Honda CR-V EX in Aug 2026, The dashboard illuminated with multiple critical warning indicators, and diagnostic scanning pulled code P0304 (Cylinder 4 Misfire). This created an immediate safety hazard on the road. A certified technician confirmed a premature failure of the gasoline direct fuel injectors. This component failure matches widespread defects documented in Honda TSB 21-010. The sudden failure of these factory injectors poses an unreasonable risk of engine stalling and traffic collisions.

Breaks deploy while driving 3am with no other vehicles around. There were no obstructions, debris or vehicles in sight for miles & my auto-braking system engaged causing my car to go from 45 down to a severe lower rate with lights flashing "auto brakes" & my head/neck to whip forward towards windshield. This was just one of the many times including while driving on XXX highway that could cause accidents!! Please investigate this problem further. Thank You.

[XXX] <[XXX]> 12:38 AM (0 minutes ago) to me 2017 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, approximately 111,000 miles. While driving, my vehicle suddenly displayed multiple warnings and repeated beeping, including Hill Start Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Collision Mitigation System problems. The vehicle appeared to slow down and the brakes seemed to grab or engage unexpectedly, creating a risk of losing control or causing a collision with surrounding traffic. Startup stuttering has also occurred. The failed component is UNKNOWN. Possible causes include a malfunction in the ABS/VSA brake-control system, electronic parking brake, sensors, wiring, or electrical controls. A fuel-delivery or engine issue may explain the startup stuttering. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The problem has not been confirmed or reproduced by a dealer or repair facility to my knowledge. An auto-parts store tested the battery, starter, and alternator, which reportedly passed. Honda advised that my VIN is not covered by a fuel-pump recall. A manufacturer inspection specifically addressing the braking issue is UNKNOWN. No police or insurance inspection is known to have occurred. The warning messages appeared suddenly during the driving incident. The exact date was XXX going a speed of 60 and dropped down to 20 due to automatic braking, and road conditions were good, not wet or bumpy. The root cause according to Honda seems to be a fuel pump failure. I am reporting this incident because unexpected braking and multiple safety-system warnings may indicate a serious malfunction that could endanger me, my passengers, and other road users.

The car continuously has issues with all alerts appearing on the dashboard. This deactivates safety features like lane departure assist, front collision mitigation, and cruise control. This is a known problem with this generation of CRV and the problem has become worse since Honda starting sending letters to customers about resetting their radar sensor.

On Aug 10, 2026 every dashboard warning light came on and stayed on Took to the shop and they did some repair work. Then on August 18 while driving, I have been getting stuttering and jerking motion like pauses. Then, a whirling noise would start and every single dashboard warning light would come on. I’ve had my turbocharger assembly replaced twice. This is an ongoing problem I see with this specific SUV and needs to be recalled. As a woman driving this is a horrible feeling. My car is now back in the shop again for the 4th time. My car is very well maintained since I have it and I love it.
