2017 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #1837405
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT filed August 31, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1837405 (ODI reference 11482128) concerns a 2017 HONDA CR-V and was filed on August 31, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 28, 2022. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA CR-V cohort independently describe similar power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 HONDA CR-V shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I was traveling over the weekend (700 miles). I stopped at a convenience store, went to shift in to Park, and there was no button left in the shift lever. I was able to shift to Neutral so I did not drive through the front door. Had this happened while in a roadway, it could have lead to a far worse outcome. I was able to figure out how the inner parts of the level are aligned to shift gears and finish my trip, with several interruptions as more and more pieces fell out and changed my ability to get the shifter to work in a new way. I have found ample videos on the repair process as this appears to be a very common issue. This affects the functioning of the transmission and is very dangerous. I cannot find any open recalls for my VIN. If this has been replaced before, the replacement is also defective.
