Steering, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 4, 2025
I have two recalls (1, improper production of the high-pressure fuel pump; and 2, improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel) on my car that I have called multiple dealerships about remedying - each time, they have let me know the necessary parts to repair are on back order. I'm most worried about my future safety being at risk considering I have plans to travel long distance soon (one way trip is 12 hours) - I called one of my local Honda dealerships about this concern and they said 'if you don't have any issues now, there's nothing to worry about' - which was quite dismissive. The vehicle/affect components have not been inspected by anyone. Up to this point, there have been no warning indicators of any kind , other than documentation of the recalls from Honda manufacturer.

The steering wheel pulls the one side drastically when I drive over a bump or a crack/line on a road or highway. It’s quite scary and I’m afraid I could have an accident
Structure, Other or unspecified, Apr 2, 2025
The hood on the 2025 Honda CRV Hybrid is loose. When you drive at highway speeds, the hood vibrates and you can hear the metal hook holding the hood down banging.

Cracked driver side mirror due to cold weather. Purchased car yesterday brand new, overnight it was cold and I woke up to a large crack across the side mirror.

The 2025 Honda CRV, while driving on the highway, gets stuck, the steering wheel does not maintain a centered position in the lane, and also has strange noises coming from the steering wheel.
Service brakes, Mar 28, 2025
New 3 Month old vehicle with less than 5000 miles without warning had full failure of Brake Pedal Simulator Control Unit while on road. Immediately lost use of brakes and parking brake. Luckily driver was on a back road going uphill and was able to bring vehicle to a standstill. Honda will not provide answers regarding reason/cause for unit failure. They also cannot provide advice on how to respond if replacement Brake Pedal Simulator Control Unit was to fail in the future.

I have seen lots of internet posts about exploding sunroofs, well this happened to our vehicle on the freeway. There was no overpass/rocks/cars near and the sunroof exploded, unfortunately my sliding-shade was open when this happened blowing glass debris all over the inside of our vehicle. My [XXX] son and mother-in-law were in the back seat covered in glass. We are VERY fortunate that no one was injured from this, this seems to be a more common thing and should be addressed from Honda or the glass manufacturers. They need to look into a safer glass design so that this does not cause a bigger freak accident, especially on the freeway. We were also very fortunate that our local Honda dealership stepped up to replace it and offered a clear tint for the inside as protective insurance - just in case it happens again. They also provided us with a car until it was repaired. I did speak to a service writer about this and they said that there have been three other incidents at their dealership. I know there are other car manufacturers that are having problems with this too. This has made me very nervous about riding with my family-of-four with the sliding-shade open now. I hope they can figure this out. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Electrical system, Forward collision avoidance, Mar 11, 2025
While driving on local roads to break in the engine, the car stalled from fifty miles per hour to five miles per hour for about five seconds at mile approximately 100 and 650. No cross traffic or pedestrians. The car detected and warned another car more than three hundred feet away at approximately five hundred miles and nine out of ten times fails to recognize a car a few feet away. The master mechanic did a ride-along and witnessed the Collision Mitigation System failure. Offered ‘re-aim’ as a solution. A week later, he confirmed that he did not expect it to fix it. It was to satisfy me. The service manager repeated the same a week later that the fix was to go through ‘motion’. The dealer is relying on computer codes and ignoring the human observation of the problem during the ride-along. The master mechanic suggested that if there should be a rear-end collision, it would be the fault of the car behind. That is not a risk I like to take with my daughter on a highway. The car sees obstacles that are not present and fails to see the obstacles that are a few feet away.
Wheels, Mar 7, 2025
After getting a tire rotation done for 2025 Honda CRV LX at 9199 miles at the dealership, when I took it out of their hands, I heard a consistent mechanical noise coming from one of the tires. I returned the car immediately back to the dealership to diagnose this issue. The dealership service center said that the car had a driver side broken wheel bearing, and it would take two days to get the part and fix it. I don't know if the dealership kept the broken part or threw it away. I regularly drive this car long distances on the highway, so having a broken wheel bearing puts me and other drivers at risk of a crash. The vehicle has not been inspected by others other than the dealership. There were no warning messages or other symptoms before. Only immediately after getting a tire rotation did this happen.

My wife was driving our 2025 Honda CRV on [XXX] when suddenly the car turned off, there were no brakes, and was unable to steer. This happened while driving - moving - She was able to stop, turned the car off, then started the car again. She parked the car in a parking garage, and called the Honda dealership in Manassas, VA. The technician told her to NOT drive the car and have it towed to their dealership - which we did the same day. The car only has 6,000 miles on it. There was a previous recall on this vehicle for steering issues - we brought it to he dealership then and was presumably was repaired. This was a very dangerous, life threatening incident. Honda is supposedly going to fix this - hopefully - but what is my recourse, and should we drive this car? Will Honda provide us with a new car that has no issues or recalls? Please advise. Thank You, [XXX] My email is - [XXX] . Phone number [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 1, 2025
When starting my car, it started rumbling and then the following alerts came on: transmission, emissions, power, and blind spot sensor. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they noted that cylinder 4 fuel injector went bad and also cylinder 4 spark plug went bad. It was covered under warranty; however the car was not safe to drive until the above parts were changed out to working parts.
Forward collision avoidance, Feb 23, 2025
With Adaptive Cruise Control on, without touching brake or cruise controls, while passing semi trucks (also happens but less frequently with all vehicles), the Adaptive Cruise Control will pause or disengage, causing the vehicle to lose speed and momentum. Vehicles trailing the vehicle at this time are not aware of this sudden change in constant speed, creating a potential serious accident at highway speeds. Problem has occurred numerous time over the life of the vehicle (2 months). Is repeatable.

I purchased a 2025 Cr-v on 1-30-2025 on 2-1-2025 after 33 miles the emissions light came on. I notified the dealership and i brought the car in on 2-3-2023 and on 2-5-2025 I picked up the car. then on 2-7-2025 the same light came on and the dealer picked up the car on 2-10-2025 and on 2-13-2025 they said it was fixed plus they put 65 miles on the vehicle as per tech advise to make sure it was fixed. now on 2-17-2025 the same light came on and dealer once again came to take the car. this warning light message expresses that while driving power may be reduced so I don't think it would be safe on the highway. at this time 2-17-2025 the car was picked up and brought to the dealer so I didn't receive a work order yet
Engine, Feb 16, 2025
At approximately[XXX] I was driving the CR-V. I merged onto [XXX] from [XXX] going toward the [XXX] exit. Shortly after merging onto [XXX] a warning light came on stating something like “Emission system problem. You may lose power. See your dealer.” Very shortly after this the engine did start to lose power. Fortunately, I was able to pull over to the side of the freeway. Felt very unsafe. Waited a minute and shut the car off and turned it back on. I was able to start going back to my original destination. Within seconds the warning flashed again and stayed on the entire way there (around 2-3 miles). I called a tow truck to take the vehicle to the dealer. Was told by dealer (Germain Honda of Dublin) that they were replacing the cylinder heads. This was done and when they test drove it the problem occurred again. The dealer then replaced the fuel injector and this supposedly fixed the problem. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Lane departure, Back over prevention, Forward collision avoidance, Jan 28, 2025
My car is a total lemon/brick that goes into limp mode and gets stuck in accessory mode. It's a brand new Honda CR-V 2025 less than 1250 miles. Its completely useless and makes me late for work. The car is not drivable when this happens. All safety systems are disabled, battery light, check engine light. The car states "See Dealer", but the dealer refuses to work on my car. I need to report this as a safety concern so that this will turn into a recall as Honda says they are aware of the issue and can read the error codes.
Visibility/wiper, Jan 25, 2025
The rear view camera system of many of these 2024 & 2025 Honda CR-Vs at night shows an image of the rear area behind the car that is greatly blurred. No object is clearly visible, and many objects are not visible at all. Does this meet the federal regulations in 49 CFR 571.111 § 5.5.1 , 5.5.2 , and 5.5.6
Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 25, 2025
Car suddenly lost power and would not drive. Odometer only at 4,062 miles. Diagnosis was bad fuel injection system. From reviews online, seems to be a not uncommon problem. Could have caused a major accident if occurred on the highway. Was lucky I was on a lonely country road early in the morning close to home. Honda is repairing at no cost but very concerned that brand new vehicle had such a serious issue without any recall notice.

On [XXX], on a vehicle I purchased new only 5 days ago on [XXX] I had an incident where I put the vehicle in reverse to back out of a parking spot and the backup camera came on and I am 100% sure I was in reverse and when I hit the gas I went forward, instead of in reverse. I put it in park and back in reverse and the same thing happen again. Finally, I turned the vehicle off and then it worked properly on the restart. There was some sort of error between the electronics and mechanical parts that was extremely concerning and dangerous, especially traveling with a 1 year old baby in the backseat.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (#24V-744). I HAVE TWICE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS WITH HONDA OF MENTOR (OHIO) TO SERVICE THE RECALL, AND I HAVE TWICE BEEN CANCELLED, IN THAT A "PART" WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS PROMISED TO PERSONALLY CALL ME WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE, I AM DRIVING A CAR WITH A "STEERING" PROBLEM, AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. I ASSUME THAT A RECALL FOR A STEERING ISSUE IS A SERIOUS MATTER. IS THERE ANY HELP FOR THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU.
