Owner-reported complaints naming the fuel system system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

POOR ACCELERATION AND PICKUP WHEN APPLYING GAS. WORSE IN HOTTER WEATHER. THERE IS A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THUS PROBLEM ON SAME YEAR VEHICLE FOR COMPUTER FIRMWARE UPDATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, 10-077 TSB, BUT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER REFUSES TO DO IT. SAYS MY VIN DOESN'T FALL INTO IT, EVEN KNOW THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY WHAT IT FIXES. FRUSTRATED. NO PICKUP IS REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET ON INTERSTATE AND IT IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH IN THE HIGHWAY AND ROUGH WHEN IDLING. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO KEEP IT BECAUSE WE HAVE TRUST IN HONDA'S RELIABILITY. FIVE DAYS AGO, THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN IT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, ITS ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE 'JUNK' WHICH NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. WE WERE ALL NERVOUS AND CONFUSED AND WE WERE ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. OUR SAFETY IN THE CAR WAS UNCERTAIN AND THE ROADS GOING HOME HAD VARYING SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 TO 65 MI/HR. WE KNOW TODAY THAT THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE PROBLEM DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.

THE CAR WAS SITTING ON A HILL, AND I TURNED THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION. I THEN TURNED THE KEY TO START, AND THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER, AND THE CAB LOST ALL POWER. SO I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE, AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

Crash reported1 injury reported
THE CAR WAS IN AN INDOOR PARKING LOT. DRIVER BACKED UP OUT OF ITS PARKING SPACE AT A LOW SPEED AND BUMPED INTO A WALL BEHIND THE PARKING SPOT. AT THAT POINT, THE CAR JUMPED INTO DRIVE AND BEGAN ACCELERATING WITHOUT DRIVER DOING ANYTHING. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND HIT A CEMENT PYLON. THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE CEMENT PYLON AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD, EVEN THOUGH DRIVER WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. THE CAR HIT THE CEMENT PYLON AGAIN AND THEN ANOTHER CAR. THE CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN DRIVER PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. *TR

I WAS POSITIONED AT AN INTERSECTION, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE ONE I HAD, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC DIDN'T CONCERN ME THAT MUCH. WELL, IT DOES NOW. IT WENT JUST ENOUGH INTO THE INTERSECTION TO GET ME INTO A NEAR CRASH SITUATION. IT JUST TOTALLY BOGGED DOWN. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MAYBE? I HAVE TALKED TO FOUR PEOPLE WITH 2010 AND 2011 CRV'S AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING. I LOVE THIS CAR, BUT THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THIS. THIS IS A REAL DOWNER FOR ME IN RELATION TO THIS CAR. HELP US HONDA. *TR

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CR-V, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE LIGHT, AND FOUND IT TO BE A FAULTY FTP SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED OFF OF ANOTHER CR-V ON THE LOT. SINCE THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR, I HAVE HAD THE PHANTOM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF ABOUT EVERY MONTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2012, AND THEY FOUND THE FTP SENSOR WAS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON, BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHERE IN THE SENSOR WAS BAD. THEY CLEARED THE CODE, AND ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AS I PULLED INTO SERVICE. APRIL 6, THE CHECK FUEL CAP LIGHT WAS FLASHING(WHICH SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERYTIME THE LIGHT IS ABOUT TO GO ON) AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON APRIL 7. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME.THEY SAID I HAD YET ANOTHER BAD FTP SENSOR, AND REPLACED IT AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH A NEW PART IN STOCK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE. RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHT GOES ON, MY MILEAGE GOES FROM 27 MPG TO AROUND 22MPG. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
