Aug 1, 2021: On rural highway at approx 50-55 mph, all dashboard warning lights came on as engine power was cut drasticly, (over 50%). Minimal traffic, so was able to continue cautiously at very low speed with warning flashers to nearby service station, called local Honda dealer who towed in the CRV. Dealer said the high pressure fuel pump had failed, which they replaced at my cost. No mention by the Honda dealer of any recall campaign, or report to Honda USA or NHTSA

The fuel pump failed while I was driving on the highway. My car entirely and suddenly stopped working while I was driving in an extremely busy highway almost causing me to get into an accident. There was a recall issued for my year and type of vehicle but my vin number was not listed and I was not notified or contacted of the potential danger. I spoke with Honda and they told me my vehicle vin was not under the recall. I had lights flash in my dashboard almost immediately before my gas just stopped working and I had to almost coast to the side of the road. Terrifying.

After driving for a period of time it occurred again. Dealership reviewed and reported no problems. Requested dealership to drive vehicle at a higher speed for a period of time. Issue occurred again. After further inspection it was the fuel injectors that were misfiring. At the time, parts were back ordered indefinitely. Vehicle has since been repaired.

For the very first time I've noticed that my car won't start in a normal way. It was a couple of months ago. It was driving fine back then. Two weeks ago, not only my car won't start many lights came on including the engine service light. I took my car to Columbia Honda dealership; they only tested my battery and told me the battery was fine. So, they let me go. On [XXX] my car experienced the same symptoms but this time besides all these lights that came on, my car was not accelerating, just started stalling, therefore I had to take it to the closest shop which is Custom complete automotive that is 0.5 miles away from me. At first, they weren't able to identify the issue, but they found a service bulletin issued by Honda on March 18 , 2016,(please find it attached to my email) according to which there were multiple complaints from the Honda customers about the same issues that are connected to each other. Those are: crank sensor malfunction, O-ring, Intake manifold gasket A, Engine Wire Harness. Based on this Bulletin, Custom complete automotive manager Kyle recommended that all those parts needed to be replaced but the repair cost is enormous so I've decided only on the crank sensor to be replaced so that I can proceed with further repairs while be able to drive my car (I've attached the Invoice from Custom automotive for the crankshaft sensor including their labor work and diagnostics). Last night same symptoms appeared (car won't start and was stalling) and I took it to Honda service again. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Honda Dealership indicated that the vehicle needed new fuel injectors, however the parts needed to fix the vehicle are back ordered indefinitely. Overall vehicle went into limp mode three times on highway at a fast speed.

I was driving home and my car went into limp mode in the middle of the freeway. Not sure why my car downshifted and wouldn’t accelerate over 20mph or over 2500rpm. I thought my transmission went out, I was lucky to find a pull off, I shut my car off and then back on to see if I could get to an off ramp and the problem persisted. I had my vehicle towed to my mechanic, the problem was diagnosed and my mechanic said specifically that he has only seen this problem with cars that had faulty fuel pumps that were recalled, my year was not part of the recall, but my make and model was, but only different years. He advised me to report it because of how specific the problem was to the recall of newer models.

MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ENGINE. A HONDA REP HAS INDICATED THAT IT COULD BE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, AS SOMETIMES THE SIGNAL TO PUSH THE FUEL THROUGH MAY NOT REACH, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR START FROM A STOPPED POSITION.

WHEN THE CAR WAS SIX MONTHS OLD THERE WAS A ODOR OF GASOLINE. IT TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT A MOUSE AND EATEN THROUGH MY FUEL LINE AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST $980. I TOLD THEM THAT I REFUSE TO EXCEPT THEIR ASSUMPTION AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVE TO ME THAT A MOUSE ATE THROUGH THE FUEL LINE. THEY SHOWED ME THE FUEL LINE AND THERE WAS ONLY A COUPLE SMALL SCARS ON IT WHERE IT WAS LEAKING. AGAIN I TOLD THEM THAT I REFUSE TO EXCEPT THAT AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER TOLD THE MECHANIC TO PUT THE CAR BACK TOGETHER AND "GET IT THE [XXX] OUT OF MY SHOP" THE DATE I PUT ON THIS IS ONLY A GUESS. I DON'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK ANYMORE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
