2016 HONDA CR-V Fuel/propulsion System Problems

My car has had trouble starting when sitting for long periods of time or in moderate heat. I've also noticed the gas per mile has decreased. The 2017 year of my car has a recall for the fuel pump. Mine is just one year earlier but my mechanic says it could also be the fuel pump. I have less than 80K miles on the car and I've seen that on the 2017-2022 years with the recall, this problem happens around the 75K-80K mile mark on the car. I think my 2016 should also be recalled for the fuel pump.

I was driving to work and all of the lights on my dash came on and the vehicle would not go over 15 mph. I had semis passing me trying to get my car back home. I had it towed to the nearest Honda dealership where all of my Hondas are repaired, John Hinderer in Heath, OH. They received the vehicle and called me to tell me that it was the high pressure fuel pump that was not working. I inquired if it would be covered under warranty and told me due to the age of the vehicle it was not under warranty, any longer even the the miles were very low. The vehicle is a 2016 but only has 32,170 miles on it. So, I asked how that could happen with a vehicle with so little miles, he did have an answer. He quoted me $1,800.00 to fix it, telling me that the part alone was $1,200.00. After I got off the phone with him I researched the part and found it on Honda's corporate website for $559.43. I sent him a text message showing the price that I found it for and sent a message to the dealership on line. I have yet to hear from them, but they still have my vehicle. I did a little more research this morning and found that certain 2016 CRVs have a recall for the Fuel Pump Module. It is NHTSA Recall Number 23v-858, but my VIN # is not listed with a recall. I believe that my Vehicle should be included in this recall. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving at highway speeds almost a total loss of engine power occurred causing a safety issue. Five warning indicators lit at this time: Tire pressure monitoring system Malfunction indicator lamp (check engine) Vehicle stability assist warning Electric power steering warning This problem resulted in a Honda Dealer service replacement of the High Pressure Fuel Pump which cost me over $2800 and another $400 for a rental car. There was a recall for the 2017-2020 CRV for an identical(?) issue. This 2016 may have been a later manufacture and had the same fuel pump. A very reputable local garage examined the car and were unwilling to repair the CRV because they were quite familiar with the frequent and problematic Honda CRV high pressure fuel pump issues. It was Drellishak's Service in Rocky River Ohio.

The 2016 CR-V was operating normally, when trying to accelerate from a stop at a stoplight the vehicle began to hesitate and would not accelerate at a normal or acceptable rate if I had needed to maneuver out of the way. the engine recovered briefly after that and allowed me to slowly accelerate to 45Mph when it repeated to hesitate and stop accelerating feeling like it was about to shut off. The check engine light along with others came on at this point. I was able to make it to a shop where they diagnosed fuel pump failure at 127,619 miles (we are the second owner buying the car from family so we know that it is the original fuel pump in the vehicle.

fuel pump issue, my model and year is in recall batch for this issue, but my vin is not being recalled

While driving on my lunch hour on January 14,2025 on busy street my car slowed down almost to a complete stop and I lost power and acceleration. My engine light came on and I had to pull off the road at a very slow speed. It was almost like I lost power in my gas pedal. It was pretty scary because it was over the lunch hour and it was busy. This could have been bad had I not been on the right lane to be able to pull off to a side street. I was concerned about being rear ended due to my car slowing down so fast and I had very little acceleration when pushing on the gas pedal.

The engine sporadically will “skip” and then keep going. The RPMs will spoke a little when it does

I have been 2x stopping at light then started to start back up do to green light and lost power for a second in the gas pedal. Then it kicks in!

While I was driving about 70 mph on highway, the car suddenly stopped responding to the gas paddle and I heard a noise from near the fuel tank. I was able to pull up to the side of the road and the check engine light was showing. I towed it to an Auto Repair shop in Modesto, CA and they found that the fuel pump has failed. So they replaced with an OEM part and upon examining, they found that the old fuel pump was in fact not working properly. I see that Honda has a recall for 2013-2016 CR-V relating to fuel pumps (2013-16 CR-V Fuel Pump Module Set/Assy Exp2 Stop Sale). But when I put VIN to their website, it shows that my car is not part of the recall. So I am requesting a further investigation on this recall.

I was driving up a hill and the car started chugging and didn't want to finish going up the hill. Several indicator lights went on: Malfunction (check engine), Tire Pressure monitoring system, Electric Power Steering, Vehicle Stability Assist, and the All Wheel Drive. A slight burning smell started coming from the engine. I took it for auto repair and found that I need a new high pressure fuel pump and fuel injector. After searching on the Internet, I see that this is an issue in Honda vehicles and there are many recalls for it but not my vehicle. I also called the Honda dealership to check with them but my VIN number is not covered. Considering I have under 80,000 miles on my vehicle, I don't think this should be having this issue. Plus, it looks like there are several people across the US with the same model as me having the same issue. Considering how quickly it happened, that it is a safety issue, how expensive it is to repair, and that many people are having the same issue in chat forums across the Internet, I think it should be on the recall list.

Vehicle stalling, AWD light suddenly appears goes off after driving a few miles reappeared and then engine light comes on.

Smelled gasoline while driving but not sure of source. 10 min into drive fumes were very strong and then all light came on and engine shut down. A fire safety vehicle noticed fuel pouring out from under the vehicle. Because of the fuel spill the police came and called a tow truck. The car was towed to Firestone where they determined that the fuel line on top of gas tank was spilling fuel. I noticed the 2017 CRV Honda have a recall on this fuel supply and my car was a late 2016 model. They will not honor my vin number.

This vehicle has intermiitent stalling when accelerating and has died in the middle of an intersection several times leaving me vulnerable to oncoming traffic. This has been happening on a daily occurence for months.

On cold start and when you start driving the car will shut off while driving/ when coming to stop

I bought this car from Hillside Honda in Queens, NY in June 8th 2016. It was a floor model that I was told by the salesman I got a great deal on it and I found out later it wasn't true. Let me get to the point, I found out this car is a lemon car. From the frontal airbag to the engine, it's a complete nightmare. My focus is more on the engine itself. The vehicle vibrates too much, I keep this car well maintained. At 62,000 miles, I already changed the fuel pump, fuel injectors, spark plugs, ignition coil, the vehicle is still vibrating and dies while driving. I feel this is completely shocking. Never in my life in the last past decade, I never had any vehicle from 1993 to 2022 which I have this issue with. I reached out to many experienced mechanics, they all told me, this car wasn't built well. What else you need to change to make this car drivable. You can't use the AC on a hot summer, I regret every single day in my life buying a Honda. It was my dream car but I got a lemon. I need help because I'm stuck with this piece of work. I'm not willing to spend a dime more because I am the only owner who drives this vehicle since the day I bought it, I barely drive it because I want it to last long enough so I can enjoy my investment but as I said previously, at 62,000 the vehicle is completely useless. I found out from an OBD port sensor reporting that this vehicle was built with the wrong engine components, therefore it should be replaced. I want someone to conduct an investigation and take necessary action against Honda Motor Co. for what they've done to many consumers out there. I feel embarrassed to talk about this. I even overpaid for this junk and now I'm stuck with it. And I'm not the only one going through this.

Car is stalling and won’t accelerate over 45 mph.

These cars have had this problem for years according to an independent Honda garage. Wife complained the car wouldn't accelerate when the accelerator pedal was mashed. I thought it was a mistake she had caused. A week or so later, I experienced the same issue. I mashed the gas, entered a 4 lane 45 mph street & the car wouldn't accelerate. With cars bearing down, I don't know what I did, but managed to finally get the car to move. I've taught defensive driver training, road raced in SCCA & have well over a million miles behind the wheel, NEVER have I had this occur before. I'd heard of unintended acceleration, but I had just experienced non-intended acceleration. I talked to 4 different Honda service writers at different dealers, none admitted being aware of this problem. After multiple occurrences of the same issue, I went into an independent Honda garage, started explaining what had happened. The owner's wife came out from behind her desk, picked up 1 of 5 boxes on the counter & said, "This is your problem & why we keep this many cause it's a common & frequent problem," The box contained an Accelerator Position Sensor. She explained it is a common problem with Honda vehicles equipped with these position sensors. I've reported this problem before & wrote a letter to Honda America. I haven't heard of a resolution to replace these defective electronic sensors. If someone with my experience is almost hit by oncoming vehicles due to these defective accelerator position sensors, I wonder how many people have been injured or killed because their Honda would not accelerate when needed. It is something NHTSA needs to investigate. Enlist independent garages to determine how much of a problem these sensors pose, dealerships are not viable responders As a result of this continuing problem, we wanted to get rid of the vehicle, had an opportunity to sell the vehicle & did.

Car will shut off when still cold or at a complete stop and then when you press the gas to accelerate either the car will shut off and stall or will not go anywhere. Usually when that happens I put car in neutral and drive to go or put it on neutral rev it a few times then I can either drive or reverse. Already had this car serviced last year at the dealership was told faulty fuel injectors. Car drove good for about a year and now back to either stalls or doesn’t move. Really frustrating and a potential hazard especially when trying to make a left turn or right turn and stalls or doesn’t move.

I smelt gas while driving, the smell continued. The underbody of my gar was spraying gasoline due to a faulty quick connect fitting or fuel line. Leaking gasoline is fire/explosion risk. I received no warning signals nor did the leak trigger any messages from the system.

Oil stick smells heavily of gas, the engine which my car has is known to inject too fuel in the oil. I have had it checked at the honda dealership and was informed, it was normal that there is nothing wrong, however when I check my oil stick it is very apparent that there is gas in the oil compartment. (my dipping stick should not smell like my gas tank) I will be having a second dealership look at the oil tank again.

Gas in the oil 2016 2.4 l

Intermittently my crv will stall/shut off after a complete stop. It happens almost every day now.

I have submitted this complaint before. We sold the car rather than deal with a potential t-bone accident. When starting from a stop, as you would accelerate into a traffic lane the car without warning would suddenly act as if the key was turned off, ceasing to accelerate. Exiting our neighborhood onto a thoroughfare with typical 35-50 mph traffic, my wife & I both had frequent instances of this failure to accelerate or dead throttle response. With 50+ years of driving, 5 years of SCCA road racing, 5 years of teaching defensive driving, I'm still not sure what I've done to get the car to accelerate & avoid getting t-boned. Several Honda dealerships have acted as if this is an unknown situation/condition. Actually talked to 5 different Honda service writers who all denied that the problem existed. Went to an independent Honda garage who had 5 boxes of the offending part-Throttle Position Sensor-on their office counter. I was told it is a common problem, as evidenced by the number of TPS boxes they had. This is an extreme hazard & danger to anyone driving a Honda that uses this particular piece of hardware. I would urge a recall to force Honda to re-design this sensor to eliminate the potential non-acceleration issue.

I first detected a smell of gasoline at the rear of the vehicle. Appox. one week later, I began to smell gasoline inside the vehicle. I've taken the car to the Honda dealership and I'm awaiting the repair. The dealer service adviser said the problem was found to be one or more failed seals in the fuel line. I was advised by the dealer not to drive the vehicle until it is repaired. I looked for Service Bulletins for this vehicle, and I found several related to "the smell of gasoline" around the fuel tank. The vehicle is still at the dealership for repair.

On Sep 10 2020, when I drove the CR-V uphill on Crenshaw southbound near Indian Peak, it could not accelerate and get into "limp" mode. No engine light was on. Once I was able to use momentum to pull over, restarted the car, it was driving as normal. I drove it to the nearest Honda dealer and left with them for a week. They could reproduce the issue by driving exactly to the same spot. They investigated and replaced the whole tank of fuel, suspecting water in the gas tank. On Sep 19 2021, my husband was driving on Lancaster 14 north bound (uphill). The CR-V go into "limp" mode and could not accelerate. Engine light turned on soon after. He was able to cruise to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. Once it was restarted, the engine light turned off, the car could go again, and he drove and left it to the nearest dealer, they could not find any issue. On Nov 7 2021, as I am driving on 73 toll road north bound (uphill) near Catalina View Toll Booth, CR-V traveling around 65 MPH started to get into "limp" mode and I could not accelerate it pressing the gas pedal, then the engine light turned on. I was able to cruise by momentum and pull to the shoulder. I stopped and restarted the car, and it was able to travel again. All through my trip afterward (405 NB), the car felt "choked" and "stuttered" when I tried to accelerate.

I SMELL GASOLINE WHILE SITTING IN THE CABIN DRIVING. MY CAR HAS SAT ALL NIGHT AND I'M PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND I SMELL GASOLINE. IT SMELLS LIKE WHEN THERE IS A SMALL CAN OF GAS IN THE CAR A LAWN MOWER. SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE SMELL IS NOT UNLIKE THE SMELL YOU GET WHEN YOU SPILL GAS ON YOUR LAWNMOWER AND START MOWING THE LAWN. HONDA REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEN THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME. I CAN'T AFFORD IT. MY SON READ OF THIS PROBLEM IN HONDA CR-V FORUM WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT THE OIL PAN BEING AN ISSUE. BUT THE CAR MODEL WAS NOT A 2016 AND IS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOE THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS COMING. I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS SMELL.

SMELL OF FUEL IN CABIN AND STALLING WHEN IN REVERSE

MY 2016 HONDA CR-V RECENTLY GOT 21 MPG ON A 300+ HIGHWAY MILE TRIP. FROM DAY 1, THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE OF 32 MPG HAS NEVER BEEN REACHED. IT HAS STEADILY DECLINED TILL I AM GETTING 21 MPG. I RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE WHERE HONDA ADMITTED THAT VEHICLES PRODUCED IN THE YEARS 2016-2019 CR-V'S WERE EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT MPG DECLINES DUE TO A DEFECT THAT WAS ALLOWING OIL TO MIX WITH GAS. THIS DEFECT AFFECTED AUTOS IN COLD CLIMATES, INCLUDING NEBRASKA WHERE I LIVE. THIS ARTICLE EXPLAINED THAT HONDA WAS NOT REGARDING THEM AS RECALLS YET, BUT THAT THEY WERE BEING SENT BACK TO THE FACTORY FOR REPAIRS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY PLAYED DUMB, SUGGESTING THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON MY DIME. I WANT ANSWERS, AND NOW.

MILEAGE ON VEH WHEN FIRST NOTICED AROUND 15000

THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF FUEL (GASOLINE) IN THE PASSENGER CABIN AFTER THE ENGINE HAS WARMED UP. IT IS ESPECIALLY STRONG WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN REFUELED, WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM AND YOU ARE MAKING FREQUENT STOPS OR ARE BACKING UP. HONDA SERVICE STAFF STATE HONDA AMERICA IS AWARE OF THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2016 CRV BUT THEY HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM NOR DO THEY HAVE A FIX. THEY DID HAVE ME COMPLETE A QUESTIONAIRE AT THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID HONDA IS HAVING ENGINEERS LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE CAN BE SO STRONG THAT IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS AND GIVES ME A HEADACHE. I AM QUITE SURE BREATHING IN THE SMELL OF TOXIC CHEMICALS IN A CONFINED SPACE IS HAZARDOUS TO A PERSON'S HEALTH AND I AM QUITE SURE THE HEAD OF HONDA WOULD NOT RIDE IN A VEHICLE THAT WREEKS OF GASOLINE INSIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE 3 MONTHS AND IT HAS 2156 MILES ON IT. IN THE BEGINNING, I THOUGHT IT WAS EXHAUST FROM CARS IN TRAFFIC AROUND ME. THEN I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE SPILLED GAS ON THE GAS WHEN I FILLED THE TANK, BUT CLEARLY IT IS NOT EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. THE GAS SMELL IS COMING FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM OF THE CAR AND IT NOT SAFE TO RIDE IN IT. THE GARAGE SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN IT AND TURNED OFF. THE CAR DOES NOT USUALLY SMELL LIKE GAS WHEN I FIRST TURN IT ON OR IF I DRIVE IT A VERY SHORT DISTANCE. WHEN I DRIVE TO WORK (2 MILES) AND GET OUT AND IT SITS FOR 8 HOURS, I DO NOT SMELL GAS WHEN I GO HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT IS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 15 OR MORE MINUTES AND MAKING MULTIPLE STOPS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT.

ON START-UP AND WHEN BACKING UP INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECENTLY FUELED (CURRENTLY HAS 1/4 TANK). DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS ISSUE. ONLINE POSTINGS, AND NHTSA COMPLAINTS, SHOW OTHER 2016 CR-V OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE CABIN SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE, THIS IS PERSISTENT. I LOOKED ON A HONDA CR-V FORUM AND SAW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIX IT, HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

UPON INITIAL START THE ENTIRE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF RAW GAS, COMING IN THROUGH VENTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY WORSE WHEN IN REVERSE SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, ALSO THIS IS PRESENT WHEN IDLING IN PARK OR DRIVE, SUCH AS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT. THE SMELL IS SO STRONG YOU ARE FORCED TO OPEN THE WINDOWS UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AGAIN.

THE CABIN OF MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE FILLS WITH GAS FUMES RANDOMLY WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THE FUMES FILL THE CABIN WHILE IDLING, STARTING, AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR ANY DISTANCE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE HONDA TECH CENTER ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY.
