on 5/7/2022, noticed vehicle overheated with no warning indicators other than temp gauge had risen. upon checking vehicle noticed cooling fan was not running and found coolant low. fan would run when AC was engaged clearing possible faulty fan. upon adding coolant, the fan engaged itself. This appears to be a flaw in the design of the electrical system of the vehicle that could lead to disabling the vehicle due to overheating with no prior warnings or indicators, especially since the fan is unable to run when the coolant is low to help keep engine cool.

I was driving with my grandchildren in my 2017 CR-V AWD and when I stopped the vehicle I was unable to put the car in park. I could not move the gear shift and then the gear shift knob fell off. I had to call my husband who was able to rig it so that we could put the car in our driveway. I researched online and on this site and see that it is a known problem. I took the car to the dealership today. They stated that it was a recall but that my car VIN was not included in the recall. My car was the first one that they had repaired that was not included in the recall. I had it fixed and paid $82.96. It is not just the money that upsets me but the fact that I was stuck with no way to put my car in park and that they knew about the problem but had not notified me to get it fixed. I did do an online chat with a Honda rep and am waiting to hear back from them. I only had 28,209 miles on my vehicle. I was not given the old parts after the repair

Entire system failure occurred while driving on a 4-lane interstate at speeds of 70 mph in congested traffic in air temps of 80 F (sunny). Vehicle lost all power both electrical / mechanical for roughly four to five seconds. There was immediate deacceleration and zero power (electrical / mechanical). Driver's immediate response was to remove hands from steering wheel and removed foot from gas in a state of shock/disbelief. Vehicle then restarted itself and resumed function. Driver was put at extreme risk as well as all other drivers / vehicles in surrounding roadway due to the extreme deacceleration with no warning. Incident reported to dealer who stated they had not heard of such an occurrence and requested vehicle be brought in for a $120 diagnostic check. Vehicle purchased new.

While driving down the road, the button on the gear shifter popped off. It-??s the button you push to move the shifter from Park to Drive, etc. I pulled over, but could not put the vehicle in Park or any other gear. Being already in Drive, I drove to Hendrick Honda in Easley, SC where they quickly put in a new button. It cost about $75. I was told that this is a known problem in 2017 Honda CRVs, the plastic attachment breaks and must be replaced. I was told that -??there was a recall on some vehicles-??, but there was no recall on mine. If there is a known problem affecting the shifting, it should be recalled and repaired. Turning off the vehicle in Drive, with no option to use Park is not safe. I could use the parking brake, of course. At a minimum, owners should know about the problem and what to do.

Gear shifter button popped out and as a result I could not turn off the car electrical system. I was in a parking lot about to shift from park to drive when it happened. Shifting from park to drive and from drive to park also was very tricky.

Engine oil levels are high due excessive dilution by petroleum. As a result the oil pan is high causing oil leaks. There are new oil drips in my garage every day. I'm sure the engine oil is leaking intermittently when I drive; I also notice oil drips on the ground at work. The oil level continues to be high even with the leaks. Honda dealership confirmed the oil has petroleum in it. Honda also accepts dilution is normal in their cars with this engine, yet the dealership denied any safety concerns with the leak. The dealership simply added a dye and asked that I continue driving and come back for an oil change which will be due in about 3000 miles. The oil mixed with petrol caught on fire when I was smoking in the garage. This is a serious safety concern for everyone that works in their garage, smokes, cooks or has a heat source near it. It can cause fire and death. High chances of engine stalls due to excessive pressure.

Recently replaced battery in summer of 2020. Gave the vehicle in question a jump and upon starting, several warning lights appeared that have to do with some of the smart vehicle control. Once battery was installed lights went away for a few days. But after a few days, the warning lights have continuously appeared on the dash immediately upon starting. These lights have to do with cruise control, hill start assist, traction control, and all wheel drive. While at first, it was thought the lights were giving a false positive, but now, it is confirmed that the safety features that the lights are indicating are not working posing numerous safety concerns. Honda corporation and Honda dealership have not dealt with or proposed any solutions on the matter. Living in a winter climate, all wheel drive is vital and after a recent snow event, the all wheel drive is not functioning at all posing great safety concern. The lights are on at all times as long as the ignition is on, regardless of stopped or actively moving.

Vehicle rolls away in park. At various unspecified times the vehicle fails to maintain the parking gear. First example took place on slightly slanted driveway: When placed into park the vehicle rolled backward (all wheels moving) and owner jumped back in to hit the brake so as to avoid rolling into anyone/anything. Dealership has duplicated the issue many times and appears unable to determine cause.
