A class action lawsuit claims that the infotainment display screens in 2017 to 2019 Honda CR-V vehicles possess a defect that cause them to malfunction and become inoperable.
The Honda display screen class action lawsuit was filed by Tony Woo, Daniel Rifkin, and Douglas P. Schwert who say they all purchased Honda vehicles equipped with a defective display system.
The drivers allege that they did not become aware of the defect until after they purchased the vehicle. The plaintiffs say they tried to get the defect repaired, but Honda did not offer a repair, saying the problem was out of scope of the vehicles’ warranty.
The Honda display screen class action lawsuit claims that the display screen defect affects CR-V model years 2017 through 2019 of the EX, EX-L, and Touring vehicles. Allegedly, the display controls many important functions of the vehicle, including safety features, information, communication, and entertainment features.
The display screen is reportedly considered standard equipment in the 2017 through 2019 vehicles. The drivers say that the display screens possess a common defect that causes them to malfunction in a number of ways. Allegedly, the defective screens freeze, or go into full bright mode during night time.
The Honda class action lawsuit says these problems pose a possible danger to drivers and passengers because they can cause distraction. Allegedly, when the screen malfunctions, it can call drivers’ attention from the road and to the screen, which can lead to drivers getting in collisions.
The Honda display screen defect class action lawsuit says Honda knew of the defect in the screens since at least 2018, but has not disclosed the issue to customers. Allegedly, the company shared knowledge of the defect with car dealers’ service departments and not the sales departments. Dealers were reportedly instructed not to inform prospective customers of the defect.
To further support the claim that Honda was aware of the defect, the Honda infotainment system class action lawsuit says that many customers have complained to the company about the problem. Allegedly, Honda is well aware of these complaints.
The drivers claim that Honda does not repair the displays screen defect within the warranty, and does not successfully repair the defect when asked to do so. Allegedly, this causes drivers financial injury and requires them to spend significant time to repair the defect.
The drivers seek damages on behalf of themselves and all similarly affected customers, saying that had they known that the vehicles have a defective display screen, they would not have purchased the vehicles, or would not have paid as much as they did for them.

I am having all these issues as well with my 2019 CRV. The screen shuts off randomly, it blinks, it beeps all the sudden, the brightness goes up and down randomly, and sometimes it freezes. Lately I’m having a lot of issues with the Apple CarPlay as well- it constantly disconnects or freezes. I bought a new phone recently and it’s doing the same thing, so I know it’s not my phone or the cord or the dongle. I sometimes pull over and restart my car, and sometimes this works but not all the time. It’s really annoying and distracting when I’m driving and these situations occur because if I’m listening to something important there is a potential driving safety issue when I’m trying to fix it.
Hello! My honda 2018 ex-l was my first big car purchase. Come to find out the screen is extremely buggy. It will flicker the brightness button a million times in random intervals. It is bother me to the point of wanting to sell the car. There are many other cars with the same issues. Shame on honda.
Infotainment screen just died in my 2018 CR-V, EX-L trim. Dealership has no idea what is wrong
My 2019 Honda CRV, today Feb 03 2025 audio stopped working all of a sudden.
My 2019 Honda CR-V screen display brightness goes crazy as well as blinking on and off. It’s is a major distraction. The only way to reset it is to shut the vehicle off and then start again. Then it’s good for a while but it doesn’t fix the problem. I have booked an appointment for my vehicle and I still have warranty so am curious to see if my dealership will honor my warranty and fix my issue.
