2017 Honda CR-V problems and owner complaints

DRIVING MY 2017 CRV EX HOME FROM WORK. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL TURNED GREEN, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND A MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE". THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET AND TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT WAS FROZEN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN 'PARK', AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED THE VEHICLE. THE SALES REP SUGGESTED I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART I…

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MESSAGE SAID EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THE HEADLIGHTS GOT HIGH AND THEN LOW AND THEN HIGH AND THEN LOW. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT RODENTS CHEWED THE ENGINE MAIN WIRING HARNESS AND WOULD COST $1,000 TO REPLACE. IF THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE ENGINE IS NOT PROTECTED THAT COULD EASILY START A FIRE AFTER IT HAS BEEN CHEWED BY RODENTS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HARNESS IS NOT PROTECTED AGAINST RODENTS. I LIVE IN A CONDO WITH A PRIVATE PARKING SPOT. I HAVE BEEN HERE 17 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROB…

GAS IS MIXING IN THE OIL OF OUR NEW 2017 HONDA CR-V. THE 1.5 LITER ENGINE DOES NOT WARM UP SUFFICIENTLY IN COLD WEATHER, RUNS RICH, AND LEAVES UN-COMBUSTED GAS IN THE OIL. THIS TRIGGERS ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS AND REQUIRES FREQUENT OIL CHANGES. ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND DRIVABILITY SUFFER. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO BEING REPORTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY OTHER HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO DRIVE IN COLDER CLIMATES. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT IS CAUSING LONG TERM DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OF OUR NEW VEHICLE. I CAUTION PROSPECTIVE BUYERS TO POSTPONE THE PURCHASE OF A 2017 OR N…

I PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA CRV-EX WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE IN NOVEMBER 2017 AND PLAN TO GIVE THIS CAR TO MY NIECE AS A GRADUATION PRESENT IN 2019. I TOOK IT FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE, AT 137 MILES, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS GASOLINE IN THE OIL. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE (2017 HONDA CRV OWNERS WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGINE) IN THE USA HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DETAILS ARE LISTED IN THE HONDA FORUMS AND ON EDMUNDS. I ALSO SAW THAT HONDA WAS RECALLING 350K 2017-2018 CRVS WITH THE 1.5 TURBO ENGIN…

MY CAR DOES NOT GIVE ANY AUDIO ALERT WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND HAVE IT IN GEAR. MY CAR ROLLED AWAY FROM PARKING SPOT AND HIT ANOTHER CAR WHEN I WAS NOT IN IT. PER AGAIN, A TRADITIONAL KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS IN 'PARK.'
