Electrical system, Visibility/wiper, Jun 11, 2024
The backup camera image is shown as black and white, not color, and has poor resolution. With the black and white image and poor resolution, it is hard to determine exactly what is behind the vehicle when backing up, particularly in conditions of reduced lighting. The backup camera system was inspected by Honda dealership service and confirmed to have an issue. The display screen unit was replaced, but the backup camera image is still shown as black and white and has poor resolution. Another service appointment has been made.

I bought this new car about a week ago. I was parked in the church parking lot and put car in reverse to back out of the lot and the car went forward. This happened 3 x's for me. A Gentleman from church was walking out and I asked him to check and the same thing happened to him about 6 times but finally the car kicked into reverse. He followed me home to check that I got home alright. I called Hennessey Honda the next morning and the sent a tow truck out to tow the car to them. They said they could not get the car to duplicate the action and no codes showed up which really frightened me as I am fearful that it could happen again .
Visibility/wiper, Back over prevention, Jun 5, 2024
When putting the car in reverse, the rear camera image is usually black and white instead of color, which is unsafe because of the lack of contrast. It will also strobe between black and white and color, which is also unsafe and annoying. I took it to the dealer today (All Star Honda in Abilene TX) and they said Honda knows about the problem but doesn't have a fix yet. I've looked online at the Honda CR-V Owners Group and Redditt and see many complaints posted...so I'm guessing NHTSA knows about it, but just wanted to make sure....and I want my brand new car defect fixed....and I want Honda to stop manufacturing cars with this known defect.
Visibility/wiper, Jun 5, 2024
After driving a car through a rainstorm, and trying to back up into a parking space on a city street, Big blobs of water drops appeared on the rear camera making it impossible to see backing up. Many people report this on social media sites.

I bought my brand new 2024 CRV EX-L in March 2024. From day one the driver side mirror has vibrated at speeds of 40 or over. When I’m on the highway at 65-70 it moves so much it blurs the image. It is very difficult to look at the mirror while it moves and at night it is even more dangerous. I took it to the Service Center at Hamilton Honda in Hamilton, NJ and they said they noticed a slight vibration. However, they were not concerned because I could still see through the mirror. It was obvious they were aware and had likely heard of the issue before. Since they had no solution, they made it seem as if it was not a big deal and I should just live with it. Quite a disappointing experience from a serve department. I’ve had Toyotas and a Mazda and was always treated very well by their service departments. Frankly this experience with Honda was the worst. It seems that Honda has had the mirror issue with other vehicles in 2020-2022 and recalls were issued. Therefore, it appears Honda is aware of the safety issue regarding the mirror.
Electrical system, Lane departure, May 22, 2024
The electrical components that failed or malfunctioned include the lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, collision mitigation system, and adaptive cruise control. These systems are critical for safe driving, and their malfunctions put safety at risk by causing unintended lane departures, inability to avoid collisions, and failure to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The issue was confirmed by a dealer during the first service visit, but subsequent visits did not reproduce the problem, despite new pictures showing recent issues with visible mileage. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. Error messages appeared on numerous occasions while turning on the car or operating it.
Steering, May 9, 2024
Steering feels sticky when driving on the highway. If the lane assist is on, it makes it worse so I don't use it.
Forward collision avoidance, May 6, 2024
I was driving down the road, no other vehicles present, no animals in road, road was clear, weather was clear. Going 30 mph and all of a sudden the car automatically slammed on the brakes for no reason what so ever. I am lucky no one was behind me. This is the 3rd time the vehicle did this.

Steering feels stiff. A times feels sticky.

Sunroof exploded while I was driving down a busy interstate. Cover was half open so glass fell into front seat of car. Honda denied having it replaced for no charge. I had the glass replaced at the Honda dealership with my money.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Apr 22, 2024, crash
The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving uphill at 10 MPH, the "Brake Issue, contact dealer" "Brakes Needs Servicing," warning message illuminated. The vehicle independently accelerated and crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. The contact injured their head on the steering wheel. The contact also received bruises to their neck and knees that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was able to be driven the short distance home. The contact then stated that they later had the vehicle towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery had failed, however, they did not provide a diagnosis for the brake failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,024.
Steering, Forward collision avoidance, Apr 21, 2024
Honda has all these controls on their steering wheel that can accidentally be turned on, even while driving, and have any of those adaptive functions suddenly start working. For example, twice already I was driving and somehow the "Lane Keeping Assistance" turned on. My steering wheel was shaking and I couldnt control it, get it to stop. It frightened me & the first time I pulled over on the side of the road thinking my cars tie-rods have broken. It did it again last night and I was really frightened. My husband reached over & turned it off. He said I must have turned it on while holding the steering wheel. I had another function "Lane Depature warning" turn on when I was trying to switch lanes. I was fighting with the steering wheel. The paddles on the wheel are also a hazard. I reached for the turn signal & hit a paddle. I dont know what the hell these do & I was freaking out thinking what did I just turn on now that we make me lose control of the car. These functions should not be something that can be turned on once the car is started. I have never had any issues with cruise control on any car I own. I really do not like this car. I'm scared. I will need to drive my husbands mercedes because I fear the Honda CRV. I cant return the car. How many people have been in accidents or killed because they functions can turn themselves on without the driver knowing they did. This is not a nuisance, this is a accident waiting to happen. Please, something needs to be done. I spent $40K on a disaster. Thank you
Structure, Apr 20, 2024
The hood of this vehicle is supported by reinforcements from the underside. They are attached with some caulk type adhesive. The adhesive has failed causing the hood to flutter when you go over bumps or when you are on the highway. I am not sure but if the conditions are right, can the hood become detached from the supports and peel back or rip away from the vehicle? The dealer inspected the vehicle and replaced the hood. The new hood has the same failing adhesive issue. This car is 7 months old with 3500 miles on it.
Vehicle speed control, Apr 20, 2024
Honda CRV Hybrid, 6 months old, purchased new from the dealer. The car was parked on level ground. I started the car, shortly after I shifted it into reverse. Reverse camera turned on and the audible reverse sound turned on. I let go of the brake, car drove forward. I applied the brake, shifted into drive, then back into reverse. When I let go of the brake I had the same issue, the reverse camera turned on and the audible reverse sound turned on but the car moved forward. The steering was stiff as well. I shifted into park, turned off and restarted the car and the faulty issue went away.
Vehicle speed control, Forward collision avoidance, Apr 17, 2024
It only happens when I have the car in cruise control mode. The car dramatically slows down for no apparent reason. It has happened 3-4 times in the 3300 miles I have driven the car. It may be related to changing lanes while on cruise control.

Thief's are easily clone Honda vehicle fab device and stealing the cars. Lot of honda cars stolen in this week with same procedure by cloning the fab devices and taking the vehicles. When we complaint in the Police station , this issue is mainly with Honda Vehicles. Seems to be less security in the Honda vehicles. I am requesting from this Platform to Honda team , please do something to improve security features. we recently lost lot of 2024 CRV model cars and Honda accord cars. they are easily targeting the Honda cars (after 2020 model cars)

The steering is very hard and needs lot of force to rotate.
Seats, Apr 3, 2024
Drivers seat wobbles and feels unstable. Upon breaking you can feel the seat wobble. It was compared and inspected to another vehicle were same movement was detected based on the dealers service department. No other signs detected. The seat wobbling was detected and first felt 3 weeks after purchase.

At about 6,000 miles I noticed that at higher speed over 40 mph, the steering felt as if it were 'sticky'. Steering felt like it would click and it is hard to keep wheel straight. It is progressively getting worse and makes it so I cannot drive straight without overcorrecting on either side constantly.
Steering, Apr 2, 2024
At about 4,500 miles I noticed at higher speed over 50 miles per hour a sticky steering wheel. Steering felt like it would click and hard to keep wheel straight. Constant back and forth to keep straight. Took the vehicle into AutoNation Honda Roseville on 1/5/24 with a mileage of 4,841. They determined after driving it that the EPS Gearbox needed to be replaced. This part is back ordered, and I still as of today 4/2/24 do not have the part replaced.
Steering, Apr 2, 2024
During driving, the steering wheel seems to catch, or stick--it is not smooth. This seems to be primarily a highway speed occurrence. When this happens it also seems like you have to constantly make small adjustments to steering. This mostly seems to happen after we have been on the road for a while. It first happened 3 weeks ago on a longer drive. Then it happened again last week, again on a longer drive. Also on a shorter drive a couple of weeks ago, but the speeds were higher than in-town, around 50 mph. I took it to the dealer yesterday. I noticed the catching on the drive down, but it was not continuous, as it was the other times. The car was taken out on the highway and driven by a mechanic, who stated he did not experience the problem. Our car now has around 9000 miles on it.
