“I was driving my 2017 Honda hrv when all the sudden the power to the car shut off and the car was in the street without power, I was able to move to the side of the street.the battery light came on followed by the engine light and the car completely died”

NHTSA complaint #11269494, filed 2019-10, 63,000 miles

“I bought this vehicle 05/27/2017. A test drive didn't reveal a brake/accelerator cross-over problem (a test drive around the block isn't meant to failure-test it). The next week my wife and I traveled from our home in wv to visit a daughter in mi. Driving on I-70 through columbus I got caught in heavy traffic; the driver ahead of us decelerated quickly and I had to jump on my brake to avoid a collision. U wittingly, my right foot also depressed the accelerator. Before impact the engine paused - yielding to the brake ( learned late that is a safety over-ride function) we were scared! …”

“While driving, starting from a stop sign / or traffic light, the vehicle will stall out upon light acceleration. Going through the recall information, it appears that many 2017 Honda HRV and 2018 Honda HRV have a safety recall for the fuel pump ( located inside the fuel tank / under the drivers seat). For whatever reason, my HRV is not included in the recall but suffers from the exact same problems as the recalled vehicles. This has happened numerous times, in light traffic and in extremely heavy traffic where my life was put in danger by this stalling issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11737980, filed 2026-05

“There was a light on the vehicle with the sensor P2337 & parking brake sensor and I took the vehicle to a garage who evaluated the car, cleared the light. They stated if the light came back on to return to the dealer. While I was driving the car, the lights returned when the car suddenly lost acceleration while driving the day after the licensed mechanic had evaluated it and stated it was fine. I was on a 55MPH highway and was able to brake at the nearest stoplight by placing the car in neutral. It would not move forward or reverse or engage in gears. …”
