Woke up at [XXX] [XXX] to neighbor banging on door and yelling your car is on fire. Vehicle is parked in front driveway, front part of the car where engine is ablazed. Neighbor said he heard "pops" like firecrackers/gunshot when he went to look out his window the fire was reflected on the fence across the car. I did google search for possible fire causes and search returned with Recall notice for fuel pump, battery and battery cladding on model. Contacted Honda but Aileen just promised to send inspector for joint inspection with USAA inspector but hasn't been responsive to call or emails for follow up. Fortuntaely, didn't park in the garage or we would have been burned down with the house also quite fortunate that car was driving on the road. Vehicle is being inspected by insurance USAA and will get report on insurance details with AMERICAN HONDA not responding to Report Case #[XXX] they keep fobbing me off by asking to call back 1-800-999-1009 x 88146 or email ahmcustomersupport@ahm.honda.com.

Urgent Safety Concern – 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Engine Defect: I am writing to report a serious safety concern involving my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid related to a manufacturer defect that has not been properly resolved. My vehicle experienced an issue where engine oil leaked into the engine and spark plugs due to a defect. As a result, I received a critical dashboard warning instructing me to “stop vehicle immediately.” This created a dangerous situation and placed me at risk while driving. Although the issue was later identified as a manufacturer defect, it was not properly addressed when I initially reported engine shaking concerns in 2025. The problem escalated over time and ultimately led to this failure.Despite attempts to repair the vehicle, I continue to experience engine-related issues, including ongoing shaking. I have made multiple efforts to resolve this through the dealership and American Honda, but my concerns have not been adequately addressed.This vehicle is my only means of transportation, and the unresolved defect presents a continued safety risk not only to me but potentially to other drivers. I am concerned that similar issues may be affecting other 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid vehicles. I am requesting assistance in reviewing this matter as a potential safety issue and ensuring appropriate accountability and resolution.

After filling up with fuel my vehicle wreaks of gasoline fumes for hours in the passenger compartment. There are no warning lights or open recalls. Issue is common it looked up online. This started about a year after owning the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly started to shudder abnormally. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the hood needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

The Transmission mount failed and the transmission was loose and clunking around in the vehicle when I applied the breaks and occasionally when I accelerated. The car has less than 50K miles and the transmission mount should not fail. There was no accident or rust and no reason for it to fail. I believe it is a safety hazard that Honda should do a recall or at least cover the cost of the repair.

The driver assist system was flashing for over an hour when I was coming back to Ohio from Florida on [XXX]. It was flashing and for a few seconds it would go off. this happened a few times and then it busted stayed on. it said to take to dealer to get fixed. this happened about a year ago put only flashed on for a short time. There must be a problem with this system that Honda has. I have done some research and it seems this is a Honda problem with the CR-V. I have a 2023 CR-V.

car drove completely fine and on the dash all of a sudden, there was a warning for the brakes system malfunctioning while on the road saying a collision could occur, and the vehicle had about 5% of the braking power it should, and it almost caused an accident.

Windshield wipers have inconsistent force causing it to hit the pillars of of the driver side periodically. Damage could occur to both the arm and the vehicle frame due to repeated impact. Visibility is also affected since the wiper does not clear all of the rain water and causes chattering.

The vechicle was in an accident were it went off the road into grassy area. Hitting several street signs and a power transformer. The safety features automatic braking or lane keep assistance did not engage. The driver tried to brake the car did not stop nor did it seem to slow down by the distance it traveled. The car is possiblity a total loss, currently under review by insurance company. There were 2 passenger in the vechicle during the accident. Driver and toddler in the rear. Police did come out to the scene. Insurance representative are going through thier claim process.the accident was 2 days ago. All safety feature prior to the accident were opperating proper to my knowledge. I would like to request the black box from the accident to gather more information on what may have happened. Insuarance companies is not going to obtain it.

Wiper fluid is not disbursed from wiper blades until blades are in full LEFT swipe position. No fluid is disbursed on the way up to that left position, so all fluid from driver side wiper blades goes off the side of windshield or just pools there. Very little fluid from the passenger side blade goes onto windshield in front of driver. There is no way to get fluid on passenger side of windshield, since fluid comes from top of blade, which is pointing left in straight up position when fluid is disbursed. This is a terrible design. I run out of fluid frequently and cannot see to drive is messy, Ohio winters. This happens each time I use the wiper fluid, not just on the random January date I selected.

ON FEB172026, I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND CAR STEERING WOULD NOT TURN AND HIT MY PROPERTY.IT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY PROPERTY POLICE REPORT WAS MADE AND CAR END UP IN BODY SHOP. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND CAR WOULD NOT TURN. FRONT END IS COMPLETELY DAMAGE.

Yesterday, Thursday February 29, 2026, the steering wheel and/or lane assist feature of my 2023 Honda CRV Sport Hybrid seemed to try to force my car over a cliff on a mountain road. I was driving from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort in Washington state returning to my home in Seattle WA when the steering wheel of my Honda seemed to stiffened or lock up at a curve in Crystal Mountain Blvd several miles from the ski resort. At the curve in the road I needed to turn left to avoid driving over a steep mountain embankment and the steering wheel required unusual force to turn left. Steering was problematic for the next 40 miles on State Route 410 driving northwest toward Enumclaw WA. I had to fight the steering wheel continuously as it seemed to direct the car left and right when the path of the road was straight. Unusual force was needed to control the steering. It felt like the car was being forced by the steering to move in directions that did not follow the course of the road. There was a sense of lack of control of the steering wheel, and in the instance of the curve in the road coming down the mountain, it felt like the car was trying to drive over a cliff. It was a sense of loss of control, and that the car was by itself driving off the road.

While driving on the freeway in the rain (on 2/19/2026), my vehicle started braking of its own accord. Emergency brake lights flashed on the dash board and the vehicle came to a full stop while traffic was moving on the freeway. [There had been previous incidents of warning "Brake" lights flashing without cause, never a sudden stop; spontaneous]. During my <15 mile commute, the vehicle did this x5 times. After the 4th incident, a new pop up warning appeared: "Collision Mitigation braking system problem. See your dealer. " I took a photo of this warning light and drove to the closest dealership. The unwarranted braking problem happened again while on the freeway. When I arrived at the dealership, at first they said "there's no problem. " I showed them the photo, they reluctantly checked in my vehicle for diagnostics and informed me that I would have to pay for the diagnostician. The safety of myself and other California drivers was put at risk by this malfunctioning braking system. I was unable to over ride a warning, the vehicle braked unexpectedly in the middle of the freeway. Mossy Honda dealership did not offer me a loaner vehicle nor a ride home. When I asked, I was told that they might be able to rent a vehicle to me if someone was still around to do so. Cost =$50/ day. I lost a day of work to deal with this issue. I had to call the dealership for an update. The vehicle was inspected by a certified Honda technician at Mossy Honda of Lemon Grove. The technician informed me that Honda's policy is to realign the system. The honda technician asked if the vehicle was recently hauling a heavy load that could have ruined the alignment. I have not. It seems the dealership wants to blame me for this safety issue. If there are follow up issues, I am advised to return to the dealership for assistance. The dealership did not offer a ride, nor apologies. They have not provided an updated Cost estimate for this alignment or any needed follow up repairs.

Engine failure due to premature head gasket failure.

The vehicle was backed into a parking spot in the last row of a parking lot; no one would be behind the vehicle. It was parked for 2 days and upon returning to it, the rear window was broken. A hole about the size of 2 fists was present, along with a horizontal crack from the hole to the edge of the frame. Up until this break, there was no indication of any issue with the window/glass.

Vehicle: 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring (OEM headlights; no aftermarket lighting modifications) Issue Type: Exterior Lighting – Headlights (low-beam performance/visibility) Description of Problem: I am submitting a safety complaint regarding the low-beam headlights on my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. The low beams provide poor foreground illumination and create a distinct dark area directly in front of the vehicle. In real-world nighttime driving, the beam pattern leaves an obvious “dead zone”/shadowed region in the near-field (close to the front of the car), which reduces my ability to see road hazards, debris, pedestrians/animals, and lane-edge detail in time to react safely. The problem is most noticeable on unlit roads and in wet conditions, where the lack of usable light in the foreground makes it difficult to judge road surface changes and identify objects near the vehicle’s path. The cutoff/beam pattern appears abnormal in that the area immediately ahead is not properly lit despite the headlights being on and functioning. This is not related to dirty lenses, aftermarket bulbs, or modifications. Safety Impact: This headlight performance issue reduces forward visibility at night and increases the risk of a collision because hazards in the roadway may not be visible until the vehicle is very close. The dark zone in front of the vehicle is consistent and repeatable, not an occasional flicker or intermittent failure. Low-Speed Navigation: When making turns into unlit driveways or onto dark side streets, the area where the vehicle is turning remains pitch black, making it impossible to see pedestrians, cyclists, or road obstacles. Object Avoidance: At highway speeds, the "dark zone" prevents the driver from seeing road debris or potholes until they are directly under the vehicle, leaving zero time for evasive maneuvers. Headlights are original equipment and the vehicle has not been modified.

Steering was fixed in October 2023 we had purchased car in May of that year. The issue has returned except it feels now like the steering is moving on its own. This is the first time since repair this issue was noticed. This is very concerning. I have notified Honda. Dealer to date has not seen car they want to charge me to examiner vehicle which is still under warranty, which is why I called Honda. I told dealer I was concerned enough not to want to drive vehicle.

thank you

no problem

The wiper blades fail to go to the edge of the window on the driver's side. It leaves a gap of about 2-3 inches from the edge of the window pillar uncleaned. In heavy rain or snow/ice or in the case of cleaning a dirty windshield, this gap limits the driver's visibility while driving. Also, having the windshield wiper fluid come out of the blades rather than spraying directly onto the windshield is useless as the fluid comes out while the wipers are half way up and fluid then gets pushed off the windshield and flows down the driver's side window again affecting the driver's visibility.

Key Issues & Symptoms Sticky/Resistant Steering: The primary symptom is the steering wheel feeling like it "sticks" or requires extra force to move from the center position, especially when driving straight on the highway, creating a dangerous lurch or jerkiness when trying to change lanes. Knocking Noises: Some owners report a knocking or metal-on-metal sound from the steering, even after initial recall service. Steering Instability: After repairs, some vehicles still suffer from significant alignment issues (caster/camber imbalance) that affect handling and cornering stability.

The automatic braking system is activating automatically without any warning or any interference even though there is no vehicle or object in front it is happening all of a sudden and it a serious safety hazard and could cause major accident it is life threatening and I am very scared to drive it a life and death situation please look into this matter and have Honda fix this issue before it causes and deaths.

On 12/19/2025 my car was parked at my place of work between 12pm and 1pm my back window suddenly shattered from the middle of the window. I have seen other reports of Honda HRV having the same issues as well as some other CRV owners from recalls for HRV and online forums of CRV owners reporting the same issue with sudden back window combustion. I contacted Honda and several different departments to report this.

The windshield wipers do not clear the windshield completely and the reversing point for the drivers side wiper is inconsistent, leaving a wide uncleared gap of varying widths. Honda dealership says this is normal and will no repair the wipers.

MY 2023 Honda CRV sport hybrid has an issue, I guess it’s transmission. When I go for long drives, after driving an hour or hour an half in highway, it seemed like, transmission stuck. Even though I escalated my gas pedal and car is on around 50mph, the car speed doesn’t go up even though rpm is hitting on 75 to 80. It’s dangerous to drive in highway where speed limit is 65 mph and my car is going 50 mph. I went to dealer but they can’t figure out the issue. I face same issue in multiple times.

My car has been making noises and no checks engine light for about 4 weeks now. It has started on October 19, 2025 and tomorrow will make 1 month. The noise starts when I press the brakes and when I drive. When merging on highways the car would delay start when I press the gas and then it’ll jump or stutter twice before moving which is dangerous because I’m merging on to highways. I’ve been to several shops and they’ve all told me it’s the transmission and I will need a complete new one. I continued driving my car because I have no way getting to and from work and today November 15, 2025, it broke down while on the highway with my daughter and husband in the car. I had to wait for my car to decide to start moving while others behind me swerved into the other lane because of the sudden stop all while hoping no one would crash into us. It turned on and we were able to move off to the side slowly and again it shut off. The check engine light finally came on and when the tow truck came the guy inspected the vehicle and said what everyone else said there is a transmission problem and it popped up and said something about the transmission and the brake system. As far as the brakes the mechanics said the brake hardware is rubbing against the rotor on the front left side and I can’t brake hard while driving or it’ll make a loud noise or a hard sudden stop. I have to press lightly and way ahead of time so that I don’t run into any issues. When searching online I saw that 2023 Honda Crvs do have transmission problems and it’s happened to several others. The sudden stops, noises, and complete replacement of their transmission. Plenty of others had it covered by warranty but what about the others that don’t have warranty. I have not replaced my transmission as of yet because the mechanics I usually go to is closed on weekends so I will be waiting until Monday. This is dangerous and crazy and Honda needs to do a major recall before someone actually gets hurt.

In early August 2025, driving on the highway with my car behaving entirely normally, my entire dashboard lit up-- all error lights, check engine, transmission, emissions, blind spot- everything. After reading on the internet a bit i read that there could have been a 12v battery power surge, and to disconnect and reconnect the battery. All lights cleared, car behaved normally. During the last week of August, my car began revving unreasonably high on a long drive (at the 300 mile point) and it seemed as though gears were slipping- I was hitting the gas to accelerate and the car was not accelerating equally. This is a huge safety concern- particularly when going uphill on a highway and the car can just barely make it up the hill (i'm basically flooring the gas) and also a safety concern when switching lanes- the power is not there. I went to the dealer immediately after this. The dealer ran error codes and found none (as no lights returned). The dealer checked my spark plugs and said they were worn and replaced them (which is unreasonable at 21,000 miles). The problem was not resolved. I have since gone to two additional Honda dealers and both told me there is nothing wrong with the car- because no error codes appeared. I believe these problems are related to the eCVT as others have reported, and believe that the recall needs to be expanded.

the moon roof shattered as we were driving. luckily the inner sun shade was pulled. Crazy to have tempered glass above you. we could have not had that cover closed and glass could have rained down on us.

Loss of power and control of vehicle after getting several malfunction errors on instrument panel. Vehicle estates that several safety controls are switched off until problem is resolved. Eventually vehicle resets itself and works fine for weeks.

While driving at 40 mph experienced sudden unexpected braking (car on its own) without driver pressing brake and no immediate car in front or changing lanes or any other noticeable object in immediate path. It was dangerous and could have caused a rear end collision. luckily it was 40mph no cars too close behind and our infants were not in the car. please look into this further

In February 2025 with around 56k miles, started noticing a vibration which I thought was a wheel balancing issue. After having the wheels balanced multiple times. I also replaced the tires twice but the vibration still persists. I started noticing the vibration became more consistent at low speeds 20-23 mph. At this time I am now out of engine warranty. It felt like a bad torque converter, which this vehicle doesn’t have. I brought the vehicle to three different dealerships and they all said the car has no issues. At no point did the car throw a check engine light or code. About five days after visiting the last dealership in October 2025 I was headed to work. Once the engine kicks in there was a loud rattling noise coming from the engine for about 5 seconds then it went away. Now every time the car sits, the first time the engine kicks in is rattles for a few seconds. At no point there were any check engine lights. I took the car back to the dealership and the determined that the injectors and head gasket failed. Not having a check engine light coming on for this issue could have caused an accident if the engine stalled on the highway. Honda would not assist in anyway.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while attempting to park, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated, causing it to jump a curb and collide with a tree. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was required. The contact also stated that the air bags did not deploy during the incident. The contact was also unaware whether any warning was illuminated during the time of the incident. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to a body shop, where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000. The VIN was not available.

I was driving on Octuber 8th 2025. At 50 mph and the car made a sudden hard brake stop, and the brake orage light came on, the light that only turns on when it detect a car or something in front of the vehicle, the thing is nothing was in front of the vehicle, I am lucky that I didn't have cars behind me if not it would have cause a read end accident. This is very dangerous and I am super scared to drive the car now.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, there was a loud explosion on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact discovered that the exterior passenger’s side glass mirror had suddenly shattered. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact stated that no object had impacted the vehicle to cause the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 11,000.

First incident. 9/20/2025: car went forward when gear shift was in reverse. I had pulled my car into space on a slight incline in a parking garage. The space inclined downward toward a wall. I needed to back my car back a few inches away from the wall. I put my car into Reverse and applied light pressure on the accelerator. The car moved forward. I applied the brake, visually inspected the shift lever to make sure it was in reverse, and applied light acceleration again. Again the car moved forward. I put the car in Park, turned it off, restarted it, and put it into Reverse again, at which point it worked. Second incident, 9/24/2025: car lurched forward when I removed my foot from the accelerator. In a different parking garage, on level ground, I was driving under 7 MPH when I needed to slow down as another car approached from the side. I lifted my foot off the accelerator to slow (but had not applied the brake) and the car lurched forward. I braked, took my foot off the brake, and the car worked normally. These incidents put my car at risk of collision with a wall and another car coming toward me, respectively. The system is available for inspection on request. It has not yet been inspected by anyone, but is scheduled to go to the dealer for inspection. I did not see any messages or warning lamps.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to report a serious safety concern with my 2023 Honda CR-V All-Wheel Drive, regular gasoline version. On three separate occasions while driving at high speed on the highway, my vehicle suddenly lost power and the engine stalled without warning. When this occurred, the starter would not engage, the vehicle had no electrical power, and multiple warning messages appeared on the dashboard, including Emission System Problem and All-Wheel Drive System Problem. This type of sudden stall while driving at highway speed creates an extremely dangerous situation and puts both the driver and other motorists at serious risk. I am aware that Honda has issued fuel pump recalls for the 2023 CR-V Hybrid models. However, my vehicle is the regular gasoline version, and based on my experience, I strongly believe that a similar fuel pump defect exists in these models as well. I respectfully request that this issue be investigated as a potential safety defect, and that Honda initiates a recall for the regular gasoline CR-V models to address this problem.

On [XXX], at approximately [XXX]. I was traveling down the [XXX] . It was a clear morning and the traffic was light. There were no warning signs or messages displayed prior to the glass shattering. It was startling as I was going 70-75 mph when this happened. While driving my 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport on the morning of [XXX], the sunroof glass exploded. After the dealerships inspection, I was informed that repairs were not covered by warranty or recall. As stated previously it was a clear morning, the traffic was light and there was nothing near me that could have dropped on my roof and shattered my sunroof. I have included pictures for your review. On 9/15/25 at 11:30am I spoke to Honda Corporation customer service. I was informed that at this time there is no open warrantee for this issue. She stated it had been reported to Honda. If a pattern is shown they may open a warrantee, and she thanked me for reporting the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Car has, on more then one occasion, applied the emergency stopping breaks at times that may have caused an accident by themselves. Most often in heavier city traffic that can be unpredictable. Ie cars merging in quickly where they generally shouldn't

Subject: Vehicle Theft Due to Security Vulnerability – 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Vehicle Information: • Make: Honda • Model: CR-V Hybrid AWD • Year: 2023 Description of the Problem: I am reporting a serious security vulnerability in my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid, which was stolen [XXX] from a residential parking lot in Bayside Queens, NY. The theft occurred despite the vehicle being locked and parked in my parking area. The theft method likely involved bypassing the CAN bus system, a known vulnerability in modern vehicles. Honda later issued a product improvement notice regarding enhanced anti-theft software, which I received(8/26/25) after the incident. This suggests that the manufacturer was aware of the security flaw but did not proactively notify owners or offer preventive upgrades before thefts occurred. Will Impact: • Financial loss due to theft and insurance deductibles • Emotional distress and ongoing safety concerns • Time-consuming police and insurance procedures • Lack of timely manufacturer support or warning • Police report (NYPD case number: [XXX]) I urge NHTSA to investigate the security vulnerabilities in Honda CR-V Hybrid models, particularly regarding CAN bus access and lack of proactive anti-theft measures. I also request that Honda be required to issue formal recalls or mandatory software updates to prevent further thefts asap.

All my idiot lights appeared on my dashboard. My mechanic plugged in and nothing came up so I took it to White Plains Honda on Aug.5. They called me on Aug.14 and said my brake booster was bad. They said that they worked on trying to find the problem 12 hours. So with the diagnosis and part and labor, my cost is $5447+ tax. So I called Honda North America, got a case number. On Aug 26 Honda NA said that they can’t help me. My car is at Honda CRV Sport Hybrid 2023 with 47,440 miles on it. I’m over the 3 year or 36,000 miles and I do not have an extended warranty. Also on Aug 22, my service advisor said he could get the price down to $5,000. + tax. So I am lost on what to do

Vehicle: 2023 Honda CR-V EX-L Problem: Headlights – poor visibility Complaint Description: The LED headlights on my 2023 Honda CR-V EX-L provide inadequate illumination at night. The beam is shadowy with dark zones, making it difficult to see pedestrians, signs, and road hazards, especially in rainy conditions. Even after checking alignment, the visibility remains unsafe. Other drivers often flash their high beams at me, mistaking my lights for being too dim or misaligned. This design presents a significant nighttime driving hazard.

I am writing to formally express my deep disappointment and concern regarding the reliability of my 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid, which I purchased with approximately 10,000 miles on it. The vehicle currently has around 85,000 miles and has already required major, unexpected repairs — most notably a head gasket failure, in addition to other mechanical issues earlier this year that totaled $2,000 out of pocket. The fact that a relatively new Honda with an excellent service history and primarily highway miles would require a head gasket replacement this early in its lifespan is extremely troubling and calls into question the long-term reliability of the CR-V Hybrid platform. While I appreciate that Honda agreed to cover the head gasket repair through a goodwill arrangement, this situation has caused me considerable stress, financial hardship, and a loss of confidence in the vehicle — and, frankly, in Honda’s reputation for durability. Further compounding this frustration, the vehicle has recently begun exhibiting renewed roughness and vibration at various speeds, despite recent service, and I remain worried that I’m going to be saddled with ongoing problems that I should never have had to deal with on a vehicle this new. As a loyal Honda customer, I expected better. I chose this vehicle specifically for its reputation, fuel efficiency, and dependability. What I’ve experienced instead feels like a breakdown of quality control and corporate accountability. I am now significantly upside down on a vehicle that I can no longer rely on with confidence — yet I cannot afford to walk away from it.

Hood wobbles crazy while driving highway speed as if it is going to open or come out. Seem the outer panel of hood has rust by the joints where it is joined to the inner panel of the hood. Almost all the joints seem to be not joined well together. This is a structural body issue, car is less than 3 years old. And Currently I have about 55K miles on it. Noticed the hood wobble when it had less than 30,000 miles but upon checking under the hood there were no visible signs of defect. But recently(51K mile roughly) after a car wash I opened the hood to see the inside of the car, that's when I noticed that the hood inner joints have rust and are not joint together properly with inner panel of the hood. Reached out to the dealership but they deny to fix this as it has been more than 36000 miles. At the dealership there was another person with 2025 Honda crv, I checked with the owner to let me see if his car had similar issue or not. Upon checking the hood his car's one of the joint was loose ( given that car is less than an year old so there was no rust.) Seems Honda is used some adhesive to stick the metal panels of the hood together which start to deteriorate over time. There are many crv owners who are having similar issue but the dealership resolves the issue for them given that they have less than 36000 miles on it. Honda does have "Rust Perforation Limited warranty" which is valid until 5 years, But for them to fix the car there has to be rust perforation aka hole in the panel inside out to fix it. Does this mean I have to wait for another 2 years and 5 months for the rust to progress and cause a hole in the panel inside out?? What if i start seeing the rust perforation right after 5 years. Honda will fix this for me or I have to pay out of my pocket to get it fixed. Also my car has never been in any kind of accident, it has the panel which came from the Honda Factory. Also it is not a flood vehicle either for it to start getting rust. Please see attached pics.

The stirring wheel very stiff it's hard to drive smoothly.

2023 CRV Purchased 04/20/2023 April 28, 2025, 51,109 miles. I was having misfires on start up but no warning lights. Then while driving down the highway the vehicle lost power and the dash lite up. I dropped it into S and put on my hazards. I was close to the dealership so I drove it directly there while on the phone with them. They said it was a bad spark plugs. Replaced the plug and reset the codes. Drove it for two more weeks. One morning upon start up every light on the dash was on and the sensor warnings were cycling. Called the dealership they said because the check engine light is solid and not blinking and I live close by to drive it in. Drove it in, dropped it off. Diagnosis: Blown Head gasket. Under warranty Might get it back within 4 days. 23hr 6,000.00 job.

Steering was stiff and difficult to handle car on turns. Lots of extra effort required when deviating from center. Overcorrection could easily cause an accident. Vehicle was recently acquired by dealership from auction. It needs to be added to the recall list.

LEFT SIDE (DRIVERS SIDE) MIRROR VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS CREATES A DISTORTION WITH THE INABILITY TO SAFELY JUDGE DISTANCES FROM OTHER CARS, ANY OBJECTS NEAR BY, MAKES ATTEMPTS AT LANE CHANGES UNSAFE.

Started car to leave from work and as I drove out of parking lot, every warning light came flashing on and car would not accelerate over 20mph and kept fluctuating the speed up to 20..luckily not too far from dealer and drove straight there. They say it looks like Throttle Body needs to be replaces. Have had issues with this car making noise between 30-35mpg since I have had and it still not diagnosed...now this.

It feels difficult to steer at times, almost takes more effort. I am concerned it will continue becoming more difficult and result in an accident. Yes it’s available for inspection. Being unable to steer properly puts my safety, passengers safety, and the safety of my surroundings at risk. Unsure if it’s been reproduced at a service center. It has been inspected, not for this issue. There are absolutely no warning lamps or symptoms prior.

The hood seems to wobble/shake during highway speeds. Very noticeable when wind speed is high. Seems to be a common problem with 2023 CRv Hybrids. There should be a recall to have hoods fixed since this is a major safety problem.

I own a 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid and have experienced multiple instances of sudden unintended acceleration. The issue occurs intermittently, typically at low speeds (25–30 mph) during stop-and-go traffic, or when the vehicle transitions from EV to gas mode. During these incidents, the vehicle unexpectedly surges forward for 1–2 seconds, even while the brake pedal is applied. The suspected issue involves the electronic throttle control system or a malfunction during the hybrid system's EV-to-gas transition. There are no warning lights or error codes, and the issue occurs sporadically. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This behavior puts both my safety and that of others at risk, especially in heavy traffic or near pedestrians. The unexpected acceleration while braking can lead to rear-end collisions, property damage, or injury, as the vehicle moves unpredictably. Yes. A Honda service technician experienced the issue firsthand while driving my vehicle. He then tested a 2025 CR-V Hybrid and reported similar behavior, suggesting it might be “normal.” However, I strongly disagree, as the acceleration feels unsafe and abnormal. The vehicle has been inspected by the Honda dealership. A formal diagnosis was performed, but they did not find anything unusual. The service center stated they will not proceed further unless I can replicate the issue, which I cannot due to its intermittent nature. The vehicle has not been inspected by police, insurance, or independent mechanics yet. No. There were no warning lamps, alerts, or error messages before, during, or after the sudden acceleration events.

I can't control the car properly, because I need to turn the car too much, this is due to the pending market recall and the dealer doesn't fix the problem., they just give excuses, and it's been 5 months and fix the problem.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

My system failed when my vehicle was stolen in less than 5 minutes, was not supposed be not so easy to open and my vehicle system was damaged and my door while being locked I had to located my vehicle by a AirTag i have this vehicle for less than two years.

The millimeter wave radar has failed. While using adaptive cruise control the vehicle set off many alarms without prior warning. The vehicle suddenly showed that adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, road departure mitigation, frontal collision, low speed parking were no longer functioning and to see a dealer. I was not using frontal collision no road departure mitigation as these features had twice before unexpectedly applied heavy breaking without warning with no obstructions near vehicle. Fortunately no accident occurred but very unnerving to say the least. The dealer has confirmed that the millimeter wave radar has failed and will need replaced. Honda sensing is not very reliable and should be used with caution if used at all

I applied my brake pedal to slow for traffic just before entering a roundabout. I came nearly to a full stop, but then with my foot still on the brake pedal, the car surged forward as if I had floored the gas pedal. I kept pressing very hard on the brake pedal, but the car kept speeding forward. I was able to steer in between 2 oncoming cars without hitting them. My left front tire then hit the curb and the car bounced off a metal traffic sign post. I then went down a steep dirt embankment and crashed into a swale with some large rocks. My car finally came to a stop, rim deep in soft dirt just off the shoulder of the road. I did not notice any warning lights come on. I don't know what system malfunctioned, but it had something to do with fuel delivery and possibly the cruise control and automatic braking functions. I was very lucky I was not injured. This malfunction could have caused a serious and possibly a fatal crash. This malfunction put me and nearby motorists at risk of being hit by an out of control vehicle. I checked the floor mat and it was not displaced. There were no loose objects that could have affected the gas or brake pedals. The police officer accused me of stepping on the gas instead of the brake, but that was definitely not the case, regardless of what he may write in his report. The car is currently at a local collision repair shop. They will be checking with the code reader to see if any codes come up involving the fuel and braking systems. My insurance adjuster has inspected the car through photos taken by the repair shop. The shop is currently taking the car apart to assess further damage underneath. I am expecting a progress report tomorrow or Tuesday, March 25. This malfunction exactly fits the description of "Sudden Unexpected Acceleration". I have found 62 similar cases after a cursory internet search, so this is nothing new.

My vehicle, 2023 CRV was purchased through here. Now it has a major Recall and they have been giving me the run around since while we drive an UNSAFE vehicle. As it states, “Due to the improperly manufactured electronic power steering (EPS) gearbox worm wheel and improperly set worm gear spring, friction between the worm wheel and worm gear can rise, resulting in additional steering effort and difficulty, increasing the risk of a crash or serious injury.” I reached out 3 times and was lied too about part not being there. Just talked to Honda, they said part has been available for 2 month now. This is supposed to be done within 60 days, but I haven’t heard back for 5 to 6 months now. Everytime I call, there is no supervisor available and all techs are busy. I have 3 kids that ride in this car and need it fixed asap

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while parking the vehicle, while attempting to stop the vehicle, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly, drove over a curb and a sidewalk, drove over a bushy garden, and headed towards a parked vehicle across the sidewalk. The contact slammed on the brake pedal, and the vehicle stopped. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the annual check-up had been performed on the vehicle two days prior to the failure. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to the residence at slow speeds. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,900.

The steering wheel in my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring is "sticking" when going around wide turns on the highway. This issue is not experienced while driving around city streets. It feels like the steering wheel gently locks into place, but can easily be dislodged by giving it a little more turning pressure. The sticking sensation feels as though it has progressively been getting more pronounced in the past few months. This would certainly become a major safety issue if the steering wheel locks up completely at highway speeds. I have contacted the Honda Service Center at my local dealership regarding this issue. No warning lamps or messages appear on the dashboard and the latest Vehicle Health Report which I receive via email every month reports no issues.

I was in the collision accident on the service road when my new Honda CR-V 2023 started skidding to the left while I was making the smooth turn to the right, the vehicle was pulling to the left side of the road, hitting the metal guardrail on the driver side. Looked like I lost traction and skid from left then to the right , unable to control and maneuver the steering wheel. The vehicle was in steering recall but I was not aware of that, did not receive any notice of the recall. If this accident had never happened I probably would continue driving the unsafe vehicle and be more in a severe crash. The vehicle' steering column did not work and the vehicle was not drivable after the accident, and was towed to the car repair shop. I immediately notified the State Farm insurance about the collision but nobody told me I had to call the police.

My local dealer has failed to remedy the defect on my vehicle within a reasonable period of time. It has now been 4 months since I first contacted my dealership about the issue but I have yet to be addressed.

The lane keeping assist system problem contact your dealer keeps appearing on my dashboard when I start the car and pull away.

Steering sticks when driving on the road, like it has worn tooth in a gear. You can feel it in the steering wheel. It also makes the car drift from side to side. The vehicle wants to wander on the roadway.

My vehicle had the steering rack replaced in April 2024 after several visits to the Honda service center for "sticky steering". The vehicle showed improvement and was driven an additional 5-6k miles but then started having the same issue as before, the steering felt tight and got tighter the longer it was driven. Returned vehicle to Honda service center where they performed recall 23V-704 / YFW in Dec 2024. Again, there was an improvement but after driving another 5-6k, steering started getting tight again, the longer it is driven the tighter it gets. Returned vehicle to Honda Service center in February 2025 and was advised the could not find anything wrong and could not replicate the issue after driving 10 miles. There is definitely something "wrong" with the steering but Honda refuses to acknowledge this is still an issue for my specific CRV.

I am facing issue with Honda CRV Hybrid 2023 Remote Start when temp is below -10°C (when you see freezed car windows) but when i click on lock and unlock i see flash light in the car but when i click Lock + Hold did not see 6 time flash lights(no single flash except for lock) and no remote start.

While driving the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged for no reason. I was driving on [XXX] in NJ when another car passed me on the right . My car slammed the brakes on. The other car did not get in front of me but stayed in the right lane. If traffic was heavy this could have caused a major accident. Another instance I was driving on [XXX]. in Manahawkin, NJ and going around a bend in the road there was a parked car. My car slammed the brakes on. This has happened several other times also for no reason. Each time a warning sound went off. I brought the car in for service and reported it to Honda. They inspected it doing some type of scan and said there was no problem. The service advisor showed me how to turn the system off if I didn't feel safe. Yes my car is available for inspection and I am attaching the service report showing I did report it. I'm writing you because I read an article showing you are looking into this in other Honda cars and my car is not listed.

I had an appointment today with Southern motors Honda in Savannah, Georgia at 9 AM. Due to a snowstorm yesterday they were unable to do the repair today. We were not notified of this and my husband drove an hour in icy conditions to get this recall repaired. They told him they do not know when they can get the repair done. When I called on Tuesday to try to reschedule due to the incoming snowstorm, she replied that someone will call me because their recalls schedules were out as far as June. Meaning I would not be able to get the repair done until June. I asked her if my car was still safe to drive and she said she could not confirm that. No one returned my call. I will be driving my car on Saturday to go on vacation in Florida. Will my car be OK to drive?

I brought my 2023 Honda CR-V into my local dealership on December 7, 2024 to address a “creaking” noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. Upon checking in with the service adviser, I was advised that my vehicle had 2 active safety recalls - the fuel pump, and the EPS gear box. I received an email from the dealership with an “inspection video” attached. Within the video, the technician states, “As far as the noise concern that you’re having, the only creaking noise I was able to hear, was the noise from the electronic brake motor, which is a normal characteristic of this vehicle… couldn’t find anything else going on”. Upon picking up my vehicle, I was advised the same by the service adviser, and was further advised that someone would be calling me as soon as the part came in to fix the EPS recall. On January 17, 2025, I called the dealership to inquire about when they anticipated on being able to fix the recall, as it had been approximately 6 weeks since I was advised that someone would be calling me when the part arrived. During this phone call, I was advised that the part had been steadily in stock for the past couple of weeks, and that I could bring in my vehicle anytime to fix the recall. On January 18, 2025, I brought my vehicle back to the dealership for the repair of the recall, and further explained to the service adviser that I was still hearing the “creaking” noise, as well as a “metallic” clicking noise coming from the steering wheel upon hard left turns. Approximately 5 hours later, I received a call from the service adviser explaining that the technician was able to identify both noises that I had described, and while they were able to replace the recalled part, it did not resolve the issue, and that my vehicle was in need of a steering rack replacement. She further explained that they were not authorized to replace the steering rack under the terms of the safety recall, and that the part is not covered under the factory warranty.

I received 1st recall notice in Nov 2025. Part has been unavailable until now. Received email from dealer on 1/15/25 saying part was available and to schedule appt for repair. I called and next appointment was on 3/31/25. This is more than the 60 days allowed in the original recall notice. The car is unsafe to drive in its current condition and we don't have alternative transportation for this driver. What recourse do we have?

The manufacturer is unable to complete my EPS gearbox worm wheel recall work within 60 days and am filing a complaint per the instructions on the letter. The Honda dealer I contacted was Brookdale Honda in Brookdale Minnesota.

I was contacted about a gearbox active recall by Honda in November of 2024 and was told to go to a dealer and get it fixed. I have called the dealership several times only to be told that Honda has a fix but has not sent the correct parts to the dealerships to complete the fix. It has been more than 60 days since the notice.

I received this Recall Notice in November 2023. I called my local dealer & was told that I would be put on a list & they would call when the parts came in. I contacted them again today & was told it would be “months” as the parts were coming in slowly. I contacted the American Honda Customer Support. They contacted David McDavid Honda in Frisco, TX and I was told they had the repair kit and it was being held for me. They transferred me to David McDavid Honda and spoke to Marissa in their Service Dept. Marissa told me they did NOT have the part after all.

All the dash lights and warnings come on. I could not accelerate over 34 miles an hour.

The driver's side mirror repeatedly shakes at speeds above 40 MPH and is very prolific at highway speeds (especially 70 MPH). It is extremely disorientating and makes it difficult when trying to get an accurate read of surroundings when changing lanes. I had the mirror glass replaced at a dealer, which only made the issue worse. Another dealer replaced the entire mirror assembly, which seemed to solve the problem temporarily. However, it resumed less than a month later and may even be getting worse.

Rattling sound when the car is started - this is happening every time. MPG dropped from 42 to 30..

Driver side mirror cracked vertically. Honda says it is "weather related" because I told them it happened while I was driving in snow. It is not covered under warranty. This is a safety issue!

The Driver's Side mirror glass vibrates excessively while operating the vehicle at highway speeds. This mirror glass vibration causes distorted images to be seen in the mirror and can disorient the driver while the vehicle is in motion.

Traveling interstate at 80 mph 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid with 15,500 miles had a critical power failure, and warning lights to stop vehicle as soon as safe. We had the car towed and went to Honda dealer in (Community Honda) in Lafayette, LA (traveling). They state a fuel injector failed I have seen multiple social media posts of a similar experience, but have not seen a recall listed. I wanted to bring this to your attention. In Louisiana, there are a lot of bridges to navigate and this could have been a very dangerous situation of it would have happened on a bridge. Luckily, it happened on the interstate.

I got to know that I have two recalls open since October 2024. I called Honda campaign to follow up on the recalls as and I opened a case with them on [XXX]. The case number is [XXX]. I was referred to the dealer and when I contacted the dealer who sold my car, he said that he is repairing cars based on a waitlist and that parts are not available with them for both recalls. This car with its current condition is not safe as it is since I have 3 kids who frequently ride the car and one of then is a one year old baby and I saw similar cars went in serious fire due to those recalls. I need help to have this resolved ASAP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The steering wheel of my vehicle becomes tight while driving and sticks when turned, especially at higher speeds. At slower speeds, a slight turn to the left or right will result in increased resistance and a “bump” as the steering comes back to center. At higher speeds, the steering wheel is tight and almost feels stuck at center. Once the wheel is turned is will briefly stick in that position and has to forcefully be returned to center. This sometimes results in almost overcorrecting while driving. The steering is loose when the car is in park or at a stop, but once in motion there is a distinct difference, to the point of causing a sore neck/shoulders from holding the wheel.

Honda CRV 2023 Sport Touring Hybrid AWD. Vehicle under normal circumstances will be peformaming normally until defective PCM causes car go into limp mode. Vehicle is considered is dangerous due to sudden lost of power if going at high speeds & low speeds.

As my car was warming up, I was standing near the driver door and hear a *tink* noise. When I got into the car, I saw that my driver side mirror had a single vertical crack straight down the middle. There was no point of impact and when I first approached my car not even 5 minutes prior, the mirror was perfectly intact. For all intents and purposes, the mirror has spontaneously cracked. The dealership I took it to has refused to replace the mirror under warranty although my car is less than two years old and only has 10000 miles. The crack distorts visibility considerably. This is a known issue with 23-24 CRVs with a lengthy thread on Reddit detailing similar experiences.

While driving the vehicle on the highway, the steering wheel feels like it gets stuck. It seems to happen after driving for a while, and every time I have to steer just a little bit, I have to move the steering wheel slightly to get it to unstuck. There are no warning lights showing. I just received a recall notice in the mail, called my Honda dealer, and they don’t have the parts right now. This definitely affects the way the car handles. I did not notice this when I drove it in the summer, but I sure notice it now.

Manufacturer refuses to fix open recalls via its dealer network. I have been calling my local Honda dealer, Wolfchase Honda in Bartlett, TN (ZIP: 38133) for almost two months asking them to fix my vehicle. They tell me they do not have the parts for either the steering gearbox recall (NHTSA recall number: 24V-744) or the fuel pump recall (NHTSA recall number: 24V-763) and to call back. When I call back they tell me then tell me they have given all the parts to other customers, despite having promised me a call back and my having called repeatedly to schedule service over the past two months. I recently spoke with American Honda and they confirmed that limited part availability is NOT mentioned in their recall bulletins, i.e., that part availability should not be an issue. The potentially faulty steering and propulsion system endanger myself and my two year old son every day as I take him to day care and the systems are at risk of failing and causing a crash. American Honda appears interested in resolving the recall, but Wolfchase Honda, their local dealer in Bartlett, TN, refuses to provide required recall service.

Drove car for about 10 minutes, parked car while the engine was still running (approx 5 minutes) then began driving on 25 mph roadway with light traffic (4 lane road). After driving for a couple of minutes, I could no longer accelerate to maintain the speed, all the warning lights came on the instrument panel (see attached pictures for some of the alert messages), and a message came on the dash that said something along the lines that get off the roadway immediately but safely. Upon finding a parking lot about 0.5 mile away, it was very difficult to slow down as brake pedal felt hard- I had to slam on the brakes for it to begin coasting to a stop. Once parked, I turned off the car. When turning on the car again, all the warning lights came on and warning messages started to cycle through on the dash. My safety and the safety of others were greatly affected as I could not stop the vehicle adequately. When towed to the Honda dealership, the dealership was unable to reproduce the symptoms. The Honda Dealership said they would not diagnose the vehicle since it was modified by a QAP mobility equipment dealer. When towed to the mobility dealer, who installed adaptive equipment, they too were unable to reproduce the symptoms. The vehicle was inspected but no issues found with adaptive equipment.

I read about a recall for my vehicle's fuel pump and called Coggin Honda in St Augustine, Florida on Nov 1, 2024. They did not have the parts in to remedy the situation. Today (Nov 22, 2024) I received a notice from Honda (Corporate in Torrence, CA), that another recall has occurred. Once again, I called Honda near me, and once again, these parts are not in. I need to complain that these recalls are considered dangerous and Coggin Honda is not helping remedy the situations in a time manner. I want to go on record to record the dates I contacted Honda for these very important recalls.

At 9K miles excessive noise, sounds like a helicopter. Dealership confirmed all four tires were scalped, did an alignment and thought it might correct the problem. It has not, both the dealer and Corporate Honda refused to correct. Adaptive Cruise Control malfunction, major safety hazard. When engaged the car unexpectedly stops at all speeds on highway or rural roads, with no cars in sight in front of the vehicle. Have experienced multiple incidents or near rear end collisions because of abrupt braking. When brought to dealer they claimed they couldn't find any error codes, thought that maybe dirt was on the two radar sensing units... not the case, still continues to be an issue. Car turns off unexpectedly... on an on ramp to a highway, traffic was stopped. When traffic started moving the car turned off completely... warning light stated see dealer. Put the car in park and restarted vehicle, brought to dealer who claimed no error codes. All the above happened at the 9K miles, none of the major safety hazard issues were confirmed by the dealer or Corporate Honda. Am at a loss as to next steps. Please advise, thanks.

In December 2023 I had a hit and run to my vehicle. I tried to get to the other lane for that car not to hit mine but my steering wheel froze. I’ve been taking a look at my car to see if it had any recalls and I’ve even did a vin check to my vehicle to verify what was going on with my car and nothing was apparently wrong with my car it also passed the state inspection a few weeks ago I just didn’t know what was wrong. I just saw the news right now of the sticky gear recall. Due to this I’ve been suffering a lot of hardships my back hurts a lot and I have to work less because of the pain.

We purchased the vehicle as demo from Honda dealer 2023. At about 9000 miles, noticed that while in a gradual curve on an interstate, there was a noticeable ‘stick and bump’ when making a minor steering correction. I likened it to pushing a straw through a lid – extra force needed then a sudden release. The force needed to overcome the stick was minor – only an ounce or so – but noticeable and disconcerting. I do not experience the issues at slower speeds nor in park and turning the steering wheel. I went to a local Honda dealer (not the dealer from whom we purchased the car) with a copy of t TSB 23-037 in hand. When I explained the issue to a Service Advisor, they had me drive with a tech in car. He said they had a stop sell order on many cars on their lot and parts were on backorder. I mentioned the sticky steering and he told me it just needs grease. Left car after drive and received text that car was ready. Asked if they were replacing gearbox and texted to me "Not replaced, there is an open recall on the vehicle having to do with insufficient grease in the steering gearbox from the factory. He performed the recall using a special tool to insert more grease" The recall does state there is a spring that should be replaced also. They did not mention that and Im concerned the tech told me the solution while in the car with me before diagnosing the issue I was having. My concern is the wheel 'breaking' left of right in and out of a turn at high speeds with winter approaching.

(1) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling specific 2023-2025 CR-V vehicles due to a defect in the steering gearbox worm wheel. This improperly produced component may swell during use, which compromises the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear. Furthermore, the worm gear's spring preload was set too high, escalating the sliding force between these parts. Consequently, the combination of reduced grease film and increased friction leads to greater resistance during steering. Safety Risk The heightened friction between the worm gear and worm wheel results in increased steering effort and difficulty, significantly elevating the risk of a crash or injury. (2) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is urgently recalling certain 2023-2025 multi-model year Honda vehicles due to critical defects in the high-pressure fuel pump. The improper production has led to the formation of cracks at the solenoid core component, which can result in a dangerous fuel leak during operation, especially in lower mileage vehicles. Safety Risk The presence of a fuel leak poses an extreme risk, as it can ignite in the presence of an ignition source. This scenario significantly heightens the risk of fire, crash, or serious injury, demanding immediate attention and action. I contacted the American Findlay Honda Management Department in Henderson, Nevada, only to be hit with a stark refusal; they will not place me in a new 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. As a long-time customer, I felt utterly bewildered and crushed by this response. Just weeks ago, they aggressively pushed this specific vehicle to me, fully aware that significant recalls were on the horizon. This is not just terrible news—it’s a blatant betrayal by management! I am seriously contemplating legal action against American Honda and Findlay Honda in Henderson, Nevada. Their actions scream deceit and predation; they are nothing less than crooks and sharks

On several occasions the automatic emergency braking system on my vehicle has engaged for no reason. The vehicle applies the brake quickly with nothing in front or to the side of the vehicle. This sudden braking has almost caused me to be rear ended and has also caused a slight case of whiplash. I’ve contacted my Honda dealer and while they say they’ve had complaints I am told there’s nothing in the works to remedy the issue. I was told to clean my vehicle front sensors (which were not dirty at the time of these instances) and that’s all I could do. This has happened multiple times throughout my ownership of this vehicle with the last incident occurring in late September of this year.

March 2024 - Brought vehicle to local Honda dealership, car is diagnosed with a power steering column issue that is affecting tons of Honda models 2022-2024 across the U.S. This issue was not a recall at the time. Estimated 6 months for the part to come in, I open a case with Honda corporate. Since, dealer has refused to do the work on my car, despite it being under warranty. Dealer refuses to communicate with me. This issue has now been made a recall and Honda has confirmed my VIN is affected (worm wheel). New Honda dealership is not taking appointments to provide recall services, they will "call us when parts come in" and are not taking any information about the customer, so how can they call? Said it could be months before the part comes in. I have not been provided a loaner or any productive assistance. This is a 2023 CRV with less than 30k miles and I cannot drive it safely.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel seized with no warning light illuminated. The contact stated the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact also noticed a strong gas-like smell coming from the vehicle with no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,500. Parts distribution disconnect.

I went into the Honda of Seattle dealership to repair the #QJT 2023-25 CR-V EPS Grbx Greasing Saf Rec (NHTSA#24V-744) and the #PJW 2023-25 Multi-Model High-Pressure Fuel Pump Stop Sale (NHTSA#PENDING) issues. The service desk informed me that no work could be performed until the parts are delivered to the dealership. I purchased the vehicle from this same dealership. My car sputtered and lost speed for several seconds during a drive in Summer 2023. I had to let go of the gas before the car returned to normal operation. I did not know it at the time but it was most likely caused by the fuel pump defect. I thought it was related to one of the other 2 recalls for the vehicle around the same time. There were many cars driving near me. We were going around a curvy and windy road. I must move from Seattle to Oklahoma City immediately. However, I can't now since it is unsafe to drive my vehicle with a fuel pump and steering defect. I'm unable to extend my accommodations in Washington and so may be forced to drive a long distance in an unsafe vehicle.

Drivers side door mirror vibrates while driving. Causes issues when looking at it when checking for traffic etc. This has been reported and verified by dealer. This is a known issue by Honda and has been reported by other Honda owners. Dealer told me that Hona is aware but mirrors are back ordered and no time table for repair. This is a safety item.

While driving my vehicle in snowy conditions, my vehicle slammed on the brakes and sensed a collision. The sensors were covered with snow, and typically, the sensors will turn off when they are obstructed. At the time I was going 30-35 MPH in 1-2 inches of snow and my vehicle detected a possible collision and auto-braked, bringing me to an immediate stop. Should there have been a vehicle immediately behind me, I would have been rear-ended and the vehicle behind me would not have had time to react due to the snow conditions. I cannot stress how dangerous this is while driving in adverse conditions with other vehicles around you to have your vehicle come to an immediate stop. This continued to happen 4 more times at while driving at lower speeds, during turns, driving in parking lots. Each time the system will state something related to forward collision avoidance and the giant "BRAKE" sign will flash in my dashboard. I no longer felt safe driving my vehicle in the snow due to this auto-braking system.

When driving at speeds of 40+ mph, I am experiencing stickiness from the steering wheel when attempting to turn the wheel. The steering wheel feels like it is stuck for a second when you start to turn the wheel and then it will turn as normal. This is happening consistently for about 2 months now.

The windshield wipers do not remove water and always leave a film. This film will not go away with defrost, extra cleaning, washer fluid. I replaced the blades and still the reflective film remains. It is extremely hazardous to drive because all light reflects off the film and horribly impairs vision. Honda refuses responsibility. Also, the washer fluid does not clean windows either. Dust also becomes highly reflective with light and horribly impairs vision. Someone needs to fix this asap or there will be multiple accidents. I am not the only one with this dangerous problem.

At startup, routinely see the following messages: Lane keeping assist problem Road departure mitigation system problem Collision mitigation breaking system problem I have taken the car into multiple Honda dealers this year to fix the issue. The first told me I needed to have the Body Control Module replaced, and that the can could try and communicate with the key fob constantly, risking battery drain and posing a safety issue. The part was replaced, but the issue persisted. I then opened a case with Honda corporate, Case #: 14639406. This dealer said there was a "short" in the multipurpose camera and replaced that part. 2 months later, the issues came back.

A week ago the steering system started malfunctioning on my 2023 Honda CR-V. While driving on straight and level highways at between 35 to 60 mph, the steering wheel seems to be "sticking" or encountering an obstruction causing occasional overcorrection resulting in almost hitting traffic in the adjacent lane, especially on narrow roads. There are no warning lights or messages related to this condition.

The steering is sticking and feels loose. Sticking feels like a ratchet. We have only 6000 miles on our car. This issue started about 500 miles ago.

I was driving over a bridge and the steering seemed to lock in place. I could not move to the right or left, the steering wheel felt "stuck". I then proceeded to a rotary and was steering to the left but the car seemed to go to the right and would not allow me to continue to the left. Again the steering wheel felt stuck and was very difficult to move. I have had a few other incidents when I felt the car was moving to right or left making it difficult for me to steer. I had assumed it had to do with lane assist but I do not usually have this feature turned on. The vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance. There was no warning lights. This issue began a few week ago, end of August 2024.

The vehicle's 12V starting battery was completely discharged after sitting unused for 3 weeks. The vehicle was stored indoors during the month of August 2024. The vehicle was located in Minnesota. The 2024 August MN monthly average temperature was in the mid 70's F. The discharge happened again after the vehicle was jumped and run. See the attached dealer invoice for additional details. The vehicle was taken to the local Honda dealer. No problem found. The dealer stated this is normal vehicle behavior. The vehicle was purchased in May 2023 and has less than 14,000 miles. I believe this is a safety issue because I don't trust the vehicle to start after very short storage periods during the winter or as the battery reaches the end of its service life. The loss of battery reserve capacity is 50% at -20F and 20% at 0F. An industry accepted norm for the service life of a 12V battery is that it reserve capacity has decreased to 40% of new. I worry that the vehicle may not start after less than one week of storage under these conditions. Honda Corp. does not publish battery storage guidelines in the owners manual. Honda Corp. and the dealer were requested multiple times to produce documentation on battery storage guidelines. They were unable or unwilling to do so. The Honda dealer did not provide education on vehicle storage as part of the sales process. I do worry about being stranded in our harsh upper Midwest winters during potentially life threatening temperatures. I firmly believe this issue is a design defect with either the vehicle's power management strategy, the battery sizing, or a combination of both. I request your help to investigate this issue and have Honda provide a corrective action.

At highway speeds the steering wheel almost feels like it locks in place and need to give it a tug to get it to move. The steering wheel does not feel fluid, more mechanical like gears are locking up. I am afraid it may completely lock up and I will not be able to control the vehicle.

At high speeds, hood vibrates and moves abnormally up and down. The hood wobbles at highway or interstate speeds

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 15-20 MPH and attempting to come to a complete stop, the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. As a result, the driver briefly lost control of the vehicle before coming to a complete stop by intentionally running into a curb on the side of the roadway. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V588000 (Power Train), but the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. A police report was filed, but no injuries were reported. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,000.

I purchased a 2023 Honda CR-V LX from Serra Champaign Honda on August 9th. As soon as I drove on the highway, I noticed that the side mirrors were shaking excessively. The driver's side mirror shakes violently at speeds above 50-60 mph, while the passenger side mirror shows minor vibrations at speeds above 70 mph. This causes a severely distorted view, leading to dizziness and nausea, making driving extremely difficult and dangerous. Additionally, the problem is exacerbated at night due to the lights. I was extremely frustrated and upset upon discovering this issue immediately after purchasing the vehicle. I have found that many other customers are experiencing the same problem, and I have learned that there is no recall issued yet. I am reporting this issue to Honda for urgent attention. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The side mirror has issues. It is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Driving at high speeds on the highway made the vehicle very dangerous due to the excessive shaking of the side mirrors. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I reported the issue to the dealership, and they acknowledged it but mentioned that it has not been officially recalled yet. They said they would check what can be done under warranty. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The Honda dealership service center has examined the vehicle, but the issue cannot be fully understood without driving the car at high speeds. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or messages appeared. The severity and danger of the problem can only be realized through actual driving.

Steering is sometimes sticky with the steering wheel reluctant to return to the centered position at low (10MPH) and moderate speeds (30-45MPH). Additional modest force is needed to overcome the stickiness to drive the vehicle normally.

See attached document for complaint

The contact owned a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving on a busy four-lane highway. The contact stated that at one point the vehicle was on two wheels to avoid crashing into a truck. The contact stated that his foot was on the brake pedal during the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The was afraid of driving the vehicle and the vehicle was traded-in. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 22,472.

At moderate highway speeds, the steering sticks and jerks occasionally. Makes the car unstable when this happens.

Steering system is sticky. It can feel like the steering wheel temporarily locks. It takes more effort to turn the wheel.

Steering is all over. Vehicle pulls very hard with a slight pitch in the road.

I purchased this car in February 2023. The issue presented itself within 2-3 months of owning the vehicle. When backing up in the morning, the lane assist malfunction indicator comes on. If the car sits for long periods and then backs up- the indicator will come on. I have taken the car to the dealership multiple times and they do not have a fix. I called American Honda and they say the dealership is responsible for fixing and there is nothing they can do. I have recently noticed that the cross traffic sensor does not always catch and alert as well. The mechanic did say this is a common issue with crv based on their message board chat (which he showed me in August 2023) and waiting on Honda to find a fix.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the steering wheel seemed to be sticking, making it difficult to steer the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed EPS gearbox. The contact was advised that the EPS gearbox needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

While driving (no other vehicles present) it will display warning on dash. It will slam on brakes and swerve outside of lane. This causes the vehicle go off road or in another lane. The warnings will then disappear. It also advises to see dealership. It has been to the dealerships within first two weeks of purchase. They have not been able fix issues.

I went to Honda to get my car serviced & I told them i was experiencing my steering wheel sticking every time I drive & make turns or change lanes. Sometimes the car will notify me to brake but there is nothing Infront of me & the vehicle. The dealership told me that they had never heard of such thing that the steering wheel sticking. They informed me that there was a back order on this car part & unable to tell me when they would receive it. In the meantime, I have to drive with a defective car & hoping nothing happens to me while Im driving. They didnt even have any sympathy or say sorry. It's disappointing that honda doesnt offer a loaner that would be the least they can do. I've waited over a month to get the car fixed. I had been so scared driving my car to & from work always getting stuck. I finally got a call that they received the steering wheel part and that i need to come in right away. It took more than a month to get it fixed. This should not have been happening and I was so surprised they knew about this issue before leasing this car to me, putting me & my family in danger.

After I bought this new Honda CRV 2023 car, the steering started to feel sticky after a few thousand miles. This rigid or sticky steering begins after 10-15 min of driving. Issue: Steering starts to feel very rigid while driving, irrespective of highway or local streets, and it feels very rigid to turn. This is a safety concern as the car does not go how we want during driving, which can lead to severe accidents. I've reported these issues the last three times when I took the car to service at verified Honda service centers, and none of them accepted or looked at the issue. I still feel this issue every time I take the car out. There should be a recall from Honda to fix this issue as soon as possible to avoid serious accidents. Please help us (drivers, passengers, and pedestrians) be safe on the roads by attending to this issue as soon as possible. Thank you!

increased steering effort and “sticky steering” while driving especially on highways.

In the past few weeks, the vehicle accelerated (engine revved) when releasing the gas pedal. This has happened 4 times. The first 3 times was when driving the vehicle on the road. I have taken the vehicle in twice to the dealership and they were not able to reproduce or diagnose the problem. The 4th incident occurred as the vehicle was pulling into a parking space. when the gas pedal was released, the vehicle engine revved and lurched forward. Slamming on the brakes ,hard, averted a collision with a car in the space in front of the space we were trying to park in. It is only a matter of time before this condition causes an accident.

i was driving from my late sister's house in Kent Washington to the AgriShop Auburn Ace Hardware on [XXX]. I was stopped in the left turn lane headed westbound on [XXX] , preparing to turn left onto [XXX] . The left turn light turned green, I started through the intersection. At that point, the steering locked and all the warning lights on the dash came on. I tried to steer the car, but the steering was locked. The warning lights on the dash included one that indicated a power steering failure, but it also kept switching to every other electronic system warning they had failed, making the warning useless. Thankfully, the oncoming traffic was still stopped at a red light. I turned the engine off, re-started the car. The warning lights remained, but the steering was no longer locked. I drove the remaining few blocks to the hardware store. I got what I needed at the store, re-started the car and the warning lights remained. I contacted the nearest Honda dealer, Hinshaw Honda, and took the car directly to them, a distance of 2 miles. Halfway to the dealer, all the warning lights went off and the car performed as if nothing had happened. The dealer did diagnostic testing, it took about 90 minutes, and the service advisor came out and told me that they could not diagnose the problem and planned to send me on my way doing nothing. I told them that was unacceptable, that, if I had been turning in front of oncoming traffic, this could have been a disaster. The service manager stepped in, asked me to leave the car, they would look further into the problem. That afternoon they called, indicated the power steering system had failed and ordered a part. On may 23rd the car was repaired, the service report is attached. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In March of 2024 the steering wheel of 2023 Hybrid CRV that we purchased less than 1 year ago started getting hard to straighten back out after we turned. My husband kept saying it felt sticky. The problem continued to get worse to the point of it getting completely stuck one day when I was following a curve on the freeway and had to yank the steering wheel to get the car to straighten out. When I took the car into the shop at Right Honda in Scottsdale the first time on [XXX] and gave them every detail they said they couldn't duplicate the problem and that I should just come pick it up and keep driving it. I should them articles from the NHTSA about this issue and the safety concern with it and the fact that I am driving our [XXX] in this car. They said don't worry about it let us know if it continues. I pulled out of the driveway and turned and the steering wheel immediately stuck in the turning position and I had to over correct. I was infuriated and contacted the GM of the dealership when I returned home. He told me the same thing that the problem couldn't be duplicated and I should just keep driving it. After 2 more days of worrying and struggling with this car I almost hit someone on a bike coming off a curve and not being able to correct the car in time with our son in the car. At that point I was done and sent the GM a message saying I would be dropping the car off and we needed a loaner because this car is unsafe. Our brand new car has been sitting in the garage since then. We are told the part to fix the car will not be in until the end of September at the earliest. This is unacceptable and are requesting the full sticker price of the car be returned as well as the payments for the months we were unable to drive the car. We opened a case with American Honda, but it seems to be getting nowhere and it typically takes me 4 or 5 calls to get anyone to call me back which is unacceptable. This is a huge safety concern and no one is helping. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Steering feels "sticky" when turning the steering wheel. It happens mostly when outside temperatures are lower. I notice it most when taking ramps on and off the freeway. Sometimes you can even let go of the steering wheel at a turned position while driving and it will stay in the same position. There are no warning lights on. I first noticed the problem when the car had just about 6000 miles on it. The dealership says they cannot replicate the problem and have tried twice, but the issue still persists.

I brought the car to the dealer shortly after its purchase to say I was getting error lights on the dash. They said they reprogrammed it. They also left all safety reminders in the off position. I continued to get a variety of error messages on the dash. The car was difficult to steer and needed constant correction. I was initially told it needed a drive rack. Upon follow up on parts I was told it was a power steering rack. Parts have been on order since Jan 2024 with an eta of April. Upon follow up they did not have an eta on the parts. I contacted Honda and filed a complaint. They have given me an eta of September. This is a new vehicle and I was told to be careful driving! This is a serious concern!

Sticky steering- The steering fork is not consistent as you increase the driving speed . You are constantly adjusting the steering wheel to correct for direction. However, instead of a smooth turn of the steering wheel, the turn feels like you have hit a flat spot on a gear causing you to over steer! In reading comments on the CR-V Owners Club web blog, a writer referenced NHTSA case #EA230003, rack and pinion defect in which parts are NOT avaible until September, 2024.

Steering wheel makes a clunk noise when moving left to right and also the Steering gets stiffer, sticks and feels notchy. Car was taken to Honda dealer and upon their inspection I was told that Steering Rack is sticking internally and Honda special ordered a replacement rack on May-15th but currently part is on BackOrder with No ETA.

I was rear ended in an accident. My seat back broke and the metal frame twisted. When j came down my back hit the middle of the bolstered side of the seat.

STICKY/CATCHING STEERING

The vehicle has developed a noticeable resistance and alarming notchiness when steering especially, but not only, at highway speeds. Honda and our dealer, Executive Honda, are aware of the problem. It seems to affect many like vehicles. They have ordered a replacement steering rack. However, it will not be available until September, at the earliest.

It's happened 3 times now. Car "phantom breaks" at highway speeds. Clear and open road. Then every single warning light the car has comes on. When you lose power, you can accelerate. Last time it happened I was nearly rear ended by 2 cars. Honda cannot figure it out. They keep putting bandaids on this issue but the reality is they can't duplicate and more of the same issues are popping up online from 6th generation owners. The CRV has a major issue. It's only a matter of time before there is another recall. I want to start the lemon process as Honda has had my car for more than a month and on 3 different occasions and cannot give me an answer. It's all fluff, pushing me closer and closer to my warranty expiring. Picture submitted shows all warning lights. I

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle drifted to the left or the right. The contact stated that following the drift, the vehicle would lunge forward. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis. The contact was informed that a front wheel alignment was needed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer who diagnosed a failure in the steering column. The contact was informed that there was no open recall on the steering related to the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

The steering is sticking in a range about 5 to 25 degrees on turning to either side. Most often felt when driving into a curve on the left side. Can feel it get stuck as you come out of curve back into a straight away, However, you can feel it sticking even when making gentle steering corrections on a straight away. My concern is reading that you have been investigating this in other Honda models including my own model and year, and that there have been issues with crashes. I am seeing the dealer on Tuesday to report the problem.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal, there was an abnormal grinding sound coming from the vehicle. The failure only occurred when the brake pedal was being depressed. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was test-driven but the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact stated the vehicle was taken to another local dealer, but the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

When driving my 2023 Honda CR-V on a straight road the car starts drifting to the left or right. To keep the car in the lane, I must continuously slightly turn the steering wheel - and when I do there is a sticky/binding before the steering wheel moves to keep me in my driving lane. The process then has to begin again as the car now drifts in the opposite direction caused by the sticky/binding steering that causes a hesitation in the steering wheel. This sticky/binding delays in the steering and constant necessity to keep the car in my driving lane is not only annoying, but I'm worried that it will create a dangerous situation, particularly in winter weather. I reported this issue to my dealer when I took my car in for it's first scheduled service at 7,400 miles on [XXX]. The Service Rep advised that they had another customer in a few days earlier complaining of the same issue. I provided the Service Rep with print-outs of the problem from the [XXX] website that listed about 5 pages of this Steering Problem with 2023 Honda CR-V's. He said he will make a note of my complaint/issue. I requested the Service Rep to drive the vehicle but he said that was not necessary. Next week, [XXX] I have my next service appointment as I now have 10,000 miles on the car. I will again present my steering problem and provide a print-out of NHTSA Investigation Action Number: EA23003 as evidence of a known problem with the Honda CR-V Steering and hope the dealer will fix this issue as it is an unacceptable safety and vehicle defect under my Vehicle Warranty. NOTE: No warning lamps or messages appear when this issue occurs. 5/18/2024 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Steering feels notchy when turning. Steering sticks and you have to add more force into steering input at certain times (than other times/normal) when the vehicle is in motion.

Case # 11582774 Purchased 5/8/23 Honda CR-V Are you waiting for the death toll to rise before making Honda Recall 500,000 CR-V And Civics. I see Class Action law suits have been filed against Honda. Over a year with an unsafe car Honda refuses to abide by the yellow law.

I been told by Honda dealership that the power steering rack is defective Part Number 53620-3A1-A13. The vehicle has been identified by Honda Dealership as a failed/defective power steering rack unit. This problem was able to be replicated and identified by dealership during my visit on [XXX) work order # [XXX]. I was informed that operating this vehicle is not an option and a major safety issue. Do to the safety concerns it was agreed by both parties ( dealership and myself ) that vehicle be retained by dealership and part ordered for replacement. Dealership was notified by Honda Corporate that part is back ordered with an expected shipped date of April 1 2024. As of this writing 5/16/24 the part has gone thru multiple date changes from 4/1 to a no date identified on dealership part department data base to now having a 9/1/24 expected ship dated. The question you ask about advanced warning. This is my wife’s vehicle that is operated in town at low speeds, it was not identified until I had an opportunity to drive this vehicle on interstate at highway speeds that I became aware of this uncontrollable and sporadic steering issue. Trying to correct the vehicles direction back to the center of lane was also having resistance from the steering wheel that required having to overcome the locking sensation at steering wheel with force. So advance warning determination, one can only speculate how long the safety of this vehicle has been compromised. I have multiple communication with Honda Corporate in California with mixing success. I have also done random calling of approximately 15 dealer parts department from Miami to Fort Collins Colorado to verify the lack of accessibility to this part and all have informed me that no clear delivery date is coming from Honda.

Reported “sticky steering” situation to dealer on Feb. 8 2024. Dealer test drove vehicle and confirmed that there is an issue and that vehicle will need a steering rack replacement. The service manager assured me that this was not a safety issue and that it would be ok to continue driving the vehicle. They said they would order it and that it is on back order and should be available in March 2024. March came and went and in early April I contacted service at my local dealer and was advised that parts were still on back order and that they would notify me as soon as they came in. On April 19, 2024 I spoke with the manager at my dealership and advised him that we were very annoyed with the situation and no longer felt safe in continuing to drive the vehicle. When driving, particularly at highway speeds, it required constant adjustment to the steering wheel in order to keep the vehicle in the lane. My wife, who is the principal driver, is now so fearful that she refuses to drive it. The manager was very understanding and cooperative and arranged for us to pick up a loaner the very next day. We have now had the loaner for 24 days with no resolution in sight. Although the loaner is a 2024 CR-V, is is a much less well equipped vehicle than the vehicle we purchased. Meaning it does not have nearly all of the safety or convenience features that we paid for in the original vehicle. We are aware that this is a widespread issue with certain Honda vehicles and are very disappointed with the lack of concern/corrective action by the manufacturer.

Not sure its a safety issue but we have a hitch in our steering. It seems to stick as you are driving which is a little unnerving while driving. I saw online that NHSTA is looking into this issue but appears no recall has been issued. Just wanted to add our name to the list of concerned owners. Thank you for your time regarding this issue.

We noticed about 2k miles in with the new vehicle that the steering feels like it's stuck when trying to move the steering wheel left or right when trying to keep the vehicle in the lane. This problem has not stopped. I thought it might be something wrong with the lane assist but it was not on. We took the service in for it's 1yr maintenance yesterday and reported the problem. We were told that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced but the part is on back order until mid September (it is now May 12). I asked the service consultant if the vehicle is safe to drive and I was told yes. I have read online other people reporting the same problem and they were told not to drive the vehicle and also the part is backordered. I don't know now if I should be driving the vehicle due to safety reasons.

Steering wheel is sticking and not operating smoothly. Feels like steering wheel has notches in it. Very difficult to steer. Feels unsafe to drive. Have taken to service department at dealership several times. We are told the part is on critical back order. We started having the problem in November. Part was ordered in February. Part number 536203D4A24. Have now also filed a complaint with Honda. The problem is getting worse and I don’t feel like it is safe to drive at this point.

Steering becomes "sticky" above 55 MPH. Unable to null out direction and car wants to drift left or right. When you correct the drift, steering wheel needs extra effort to stop drift and "jumps" the other direction. Dealer was notified approximately Dec 2023 with approximately 10,000 miles. At that time, we were informed 2 weeks or so as the Electric Steering needed to be replaced. Talked to dealer Apr 24 and was told no date available.

STEERING IS JERKY WILL . PULL TO THE RT AND LEFT WHILE DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, STEERING IS NOT SMOOTH AND DIRECT TURNING. ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HONDA AND THEY ARE GOING TO ORDER A POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. UP TO 4 + MONTHS WAITING TO GET REPLACED .... CAN THIS BE SAFE TO DRIVE FOR NEXT 4+ MONTHS?

Hood shakes at highway speed

Steering is sticking when driving at highway speeds. Takes extra effort to move the wheel when trying to make small steering corrections. This causes the vehicle to become unstable at high speeds .

I purchased 2023 Honda CRV AWD LX [XXX]. I took the vehicle to Honda World 1 Auto Center Drive, Louisville, Ky 40299. Advisor is Kathy Schnapp. She informed me there were metal shavings in the rear differential. Replacing the fluid is not covered under warranty. The issue is not that it is not covered but Ms Schnapp stated most Honda CRVs with All Wheel Drive experience metal shavings in the rear differential. I am wondering if the NHTSA has been notified of this and why there has not been more warning of this problem and recalls issued to repair them. What rights do I have about resolving this especially if it's common? I appreciate any information on this. Thank you....

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - The adaptive cruise control and emergency braking. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - The system is reading that other cars on my passenger side usually or coming on or off the exit ramps on the interstate as cars in front of me. In turn the system directs the car to slow down and then at some points break hard while driving at highway speeds. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - The technician at the Honda dealer told me just to turn it off as its better to have it off than on. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - There has not been an accident as of current that would warrant an inspection. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - The adaptive showing the car in front, showing the word BRAKE on the mini dash and then you can also feel the gradual to almost complete stop of the car when this occurs. The main place to see is the outline will fill up as if a car is in front, but one is not.

The steering on my 2023 Honda CR-V sticks and impedes my ability to smoothly turn the steering wheel as I drive. I currently have 7500 miles on the odometer. The steering issue has become progressively worse since owning the car and the "sticking" has reached a point where I no longer feel that the vehicle is safe to drive. On [XXX], I took the vehicle to the Honda dealer (Joe Morgan Honda, 176 Garver Road, Monroe, OH 45050, 513-360-2700) where the sticky steering issue was confirmed and the inspection indicated that it needed immediate attention and replacement of the power steering was warranted. There were no warning lamps to indicate a problem. The power steering gearbox and rack unit was placed on back order with no indication as to when the part would be available. Follow ups to the dealer and American Honda Motor, Inc. have not yielded any satisfactory results with them stating that the part continues to remain on back order. Case number issued on [XXX] by Honda is [XXX]. In the meantime, the car remains in my garage, unsafe to drive.

Regularly receive loud alarms and errors when putting the vehicle in reverse that the Lane Departure Warning system has failed and to see dealership. Error will last for around 10-20 seconds and then disappear. One dealership tried to apply a TSB directly associated with this issue which failed to fix anything. Dealerships have no idea what is causing the issue and are unable to fix the issue. The contacts wife took the vehicle to the dealership on 4/19 and left the vehicle for a week. The dealership is unable to determine what is wrong with vehicle.

I purchased a brand new 2023 Honda CR-V last year which currently barely has 14,000 miles on it. I took my vehicle in for routine oil change and also because my steering was "sticky" or at times would jerk your hand off the steering wheel or if you are not holding the steering wheel tight enough when it jerks it will pull the car into another lane. The service department called and told me that it was a tire issue not covered by warranty and that I needed to pay them to balance and remount my tires. When I gave push back that if it was a tire issue then it would occur constantly. They had someone drive it again and then called me back and told me my rack and pinion/steering was going out and that the part was on back order with an unknown ETA. They were going to let me drive my vehicle off the lot until I told them that I didn't feel safe doing so because the problem was worsening. Today almost 3 weeks later I still do not have my vehicle repaired and was told that the part may not be available until September 2024.

While driving in cruise control on two lane roads, vehicle will brake hard during curves and going up rolling hill sections even if there are no vehicles or obstructions ahead. This vehicle experienced an overheated camera system at 4500 miles and was in the shop for 3 months for repair. The above described condition occurred before complete camera failure made all safety features not function. So it could be a camera failure is beginning again, or there is an inherent defect in camera or software that powers the braking.

While driving Down the road and having to turn the steering puts up resistance, giving the feeling of the steering being sticky. Dealer has a knowledge the issue and ordered the part, downing my vehicle not safe to drive and had given me no ETA when it will be repaired. No warning lights.

While driving, mostly but not exclusively at higher speeds (freeway, interstate, etc.) the steering wheel feels sticky. Usually occurs while gradually turning, the steering wheel will stick in place, and require force to correct and straighten the wheel back to center position. It was occasional at first but now happens almost everytime I drive the vehicle.

At higher speeds the hood shakes and bounces up and down. I have adjusted the hood bumper stops but to no avail. I have to slow down as a result so I don't damage the hood.

When driving, the steering wheel feels like it is catching on something. It will hit a sticky point of resistance then it will break loose. Most noticeable while highway driving. It is constant and does not go away. 04

Hood shakes when driving at highway speed.

When driving at 70-75 mph with adaptive cruise set, the steering wheel feels like it locks and won’t turn But when you add force, it breaks loose. This is not lane keeping assist, it is something different. It is getting worse but the Honda Dealership says they can’t replicate it. It appears to be getting worse over time and I’m afraid it could cause an accident by completely locking up the steering wheel.

On January 10, 2024, took the car in to Coral Springs Auto Mall, Coral Springs, Florida, for oil change. When driving home noticed the wheel was sticking. Drove the car till January 17th, gave it a week, and it got worse. Took it back to the shop, at which time they said the battery needed replacement but that the steering wheel needed a bracket, which had to be ordered. The said they would let us know when part would be in, maybe in a week. A week later we called and was told part could take as long as 6 months to a year. We requested a loaner but they had none available until January 31st. Have been driving that loaner till today as the called today to say part was in. Today is April 24th, so we have been with the loaner for 84 days, almost three months. The car was a Honda CRV Hybrid. The loaner is a Honda Pilot and not Hybrid. The cost of gas over that period of time was ridiculously higher because it was not a Hybrid. It was too large, but it was the only loaner they had so I was forced to drive it and pay the cost. Also, am paying $458.88 per month to finance my Hybrid CRV, when I can’t even drive the car I’m paying for. Believe I should receive some kind of compensation regarding the months I paid for my car and did not have it, as well as compensation for the difference in the cost of the gas.

Sticky steering. When trying to make minor steering adjustments steering wheel will not move so you need to apply more force until you break the steering free but you have applied so much force you then over correct. Does not happen all the time.

Sticky steering since 2k miles on vehicle. Sticky steering when at 35-55mph during gradual turns, especially to the left. Recently at 16k miles, the steering was stuck in a position to the left and then "clicked" back into use causing an overcompensation of the wheel for a moment. I feel it is unsafe to drive. Dealership (twice) cannot "recreate the issue" and will not fix even though it is the same issue in the Honda special bulletin 23-037 affecting the Civic.

At about 5,000 miles the steering started to become sticky at higher speeds. When driving straight it jerks slightly throughout the drive. Honda dealer has informed us we need a replacement part. 53620-3d4-a25. I believe this is a replacement steering rack. We took in to the dealer in October and as of April part is still back ordered with no estimated timeframe for delivery likely due to demand as a result of too many other customers with same issue. I believe this should be a recall to encourage Honda to address in a more timely manner.

Drivers side mirror shakes. Dealer indicates common problem. Would not fix

My cars steering wheels starts to “stick” the further I drive. I notice when I’m driving on the interstate if my car starts to veer the steering wheel doesn’t easily turn. I have to yank the wheel in order to veer the car back on the road. I notice it started happening around November 2023 and it occurs most frequently the farther I drive.

While driving above 40 mph the steering has a sticky feeling and doesn’t return to center position while turning. Steering has a grabbing feeling while turning and stick in that position until forcing the steering wheel to correct itself

I feel the steering wheel sticky after the car start moving about a short distance like a mile. It happens at all speeds. I started noticing the problem about 3 or 4 months after I bought the car. The problem occasionally went away but happens most of the time. The steering wheel doesn't move smoothly when I try to make minor adjustment. On 4-17-2024 I was making a right turn into a parking space. I was moving at very low speed. Just before the car stopped I felt I hit something. I thought my right rear wheel hit the curb. I got out and looked around there was no curb. I think it came from the steering mechanism. There was no warning alarm or light.

I have noticed a "sticky steering" feeling while driving. It has pulled me into oncoming traffic at times, I am in the process trying to get it repaired, hopefully not at cost to me. The car only has 15K miles on it, and it is frustrating.

I began to experience "sticky steering" on my nearly new vehicle. The steering would temporarily "freeze" and would require some effort to turn. I took the vehicle to my dealer service department and they confirmed the problem. They ordered a replacement part in December, 2023. As of this date (18 April, 2024) the replacement part has not arrived, and the dealer says that it will likely not arrive until September or later. I have uploaded a copy of the dealier service invoice that confirms the diagnosis. I feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive, and I drive it as little as possible.

While driving, the steering wheel either jerks or becomes sticky in the left or right position in an unsafe manner. This has become an everyday occurrence for this vehicle.

My vehicle component or system that I believed malfunctioned was the steering wheel. My vehicle steering wheel feels at times like it got lock while driving on the highway and off the highway. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time upon request. Due to this problem with my vehicle I panic for a couple of seconds, took my eyes off the road, without keeping a safe distance with other drivers. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I have taken my vehicle for regular services and have reported this problem to my dealer. But nothing has been found wrong with my vehicle as of today. My vehicle has not been inspected by the police, insurance representative or others since my dealership has not found anything wrong with it. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the problems. I have taken my vehicle for other concerts as well that have been corrected but this with my steering wheel.

When steering to the left, at moderate to high speed, the steering (steering wheel) sticks to the left such that the driver must intentionally "un-steer" the vehicle. Started around 3k miles and has become gradually worse until now at 12k miles. Last incident caused me to cross double-yellow line and could easily have caused a head-on collision (by sheer luck it did not). Took CR-V to Weir Canyon Honda and they did something (?) and I could not reproduce. A week later it's doing it again. I see NHTSA investigation EA23003 estimating 500,000+ vehicles affected. Why is this not a recall yet?

While driving either straight or turning the vehicle seems to "stick" even the tiniest bit. When turning it feels as if the tires are stuck or while driving straight, maintaining a straight line can be complicated by the steering feeling as if it is stuck. Even the tiniest bit of movement in the steering is a jerking motion rather than fluid movement. It is a very scary and dangerous feeling while driving. I have tried contacting my dealership and can't seem to get anywhere. This is EXTREMELY frustrating!

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at high speed, the steering wheel began to stick. The contact stated that the Lane Departure warning light was illuminated on three separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the power steering rack needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000. The VIN was not available.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,385.

When I'm driving at highway speeds, and have been in a lane for some time, if the lane starts to arc to the right or left, I find that I have to exert some force to get the car to follow the lane. In other words, the steering wheel seems to be stuck to keep the car going in a particular direction, and requires me to "un-stick-it" to stay in my lane. this issue also occurs when I'm managing a highway overpass, wherein, if I have to change the arc of the turn tighter or looser to stay in my lane, I'll have to exert some force to un-stick the steering wheel. I can't remember when I haven't had this problem with the car, since I typically don't drive highways that often - most of my driving is on city streets, however, I believe I started noticing this problem since the Fall of 2023. I'll drive to check on a project I have in Arlington, TX or to an office building I manage in Farmers Brach, TX from my home in Plano, TX about one or twice a month, and that's when I'll notice it. The most recent time I noticed it was this past Sunday [XXX] as I drove from my home in Plano to Farmers Branch (approx 15 miles one way).

Vehicle has about 8,120 miles on odometer. When going straight at 45 MPH for 1/4 mile, turning either right or left requires greater force to turn the steering wheel - it gets "stuck" in the straight position. This is referred to as the "sticky steering issue". It causes the driver to use more than normal force to free the wheel from stuck, but then when free, wheel turning resistance goes much lower. Sometimes this causes the vehicle to move over in the lane more than the driver intended, when the steering wheel "unsticks". The local Honda dealer has confirmed the problem, BUT, now says replacement steering parts to fix are a 7 month wait...This is quite unreasonable to wait for a warranty repair on a potential safety issue.

Sticky steering on highways. On curves on highways, steering wheel hesitates/ clicks upon return to straight position

Steering sticks when turning the wheel causing it to jerk and cause resistance.

Steering box Something catches or rubs in the steering box when turning. Honda has known about the problem for sometime now. After having service was told the steering box needs replacing ,but none available. Nine month wait for part.Seems Honda CR-V and Civics are affected. No one will answer if vehicle is safe to drive

We are experiencing stiff & jerky steering on our 2023 Honda CRV with current mileage of 9,600. Vehicle is available for inspection. We are concerned that if steering wheel were to lockup, we might not be able to avoid a collision. This would put us & others in danger. At the dealership on April 9, 2024 the problem was confirmed to be in the power steering. They told us a replacement part has been ordered, but it is on back order & they are unsure how long it will take to receive it. They assured us the vehicle is safe to drive. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else. There is no warning lamp or message alerting us to the problem.

Sticky steering at high speeds. Took to Honda dealer but they didn’t notice it. I notice it every time driving. Worried this could lead to steering failure

While driving the steering became very "tuggy". There was nothing smooth about maneuvering the vehicle. You could steer with little effort, then for no reason it would be real hard to turn, then turn quickly forcing a correction. It changed significantly from the way it was in the first two or three thousand miles. The dealer looked at it and said I could not drive it home. I received a loaner car from Honda, but they are now saying it may be September before I get it back. This is a real safety issue on my new car. It only has 8300 miles. I have nothing from the dealership, but it has been reported to Honda under case number 14550367.

The steering rack has to be replaced.Dealer ordered part. Part won’t be available to install until September .I have 8000 miles. Problem with steering is sticky steering. When at highway speeds the steering feels to stick and then turn . I also have another 2023 Crv hybrid sport that at 7000 miles the steering rack had to be replaced . It now has 15000miles.no problem yet since replacement.

Sticky steering when driving at Hwy/Freeway speeds causing a jerking movement when correcting - feels like steering wheel does not move smoothly and could potentially get “stuck”.

Brakes have excessive squeel noise when applied. Taken to dealer(S) multiple occassions, Discovered that rear brakes/calipers had "excessive amounts of molykote under all pad shims. Pad shim coating was flaking off in large chunks. Abnormal discoloration in rotors found. " Noise continues, rotors damaged , Honda refuses warranty repair as " brakes are a normal wear item" . Issue was reported immeditely on vehicle delivery, has been taken to 2 different dealers,

While driving on a two lane road with no other vehicles and no objects on the road, the "Brake" warning light came on. Thankfully, the Collision Avoidance system didn't come on this time but if the warning had activated the Collision Avoidance in traffic, a rear end crash could have happened.

A known steering problem exists. Honda admits the steering gear box is defective. Dealer has ordered replacement but now Honda states it will be December before parts are available. Thus would be a year for me. Thus issue affect Civics, CRVS and some Acura models. Honda refuses to issue recall. The steering is becoming harder to control and could lead to an accident.

My steering is sticky. The steering wheel does not smoothly turn when I try to turn it.

"Sticky" steering. The issue of sticky steering in our 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring is becoming more and more of an issue - difficulty maintaining lane control without constant jerking corrections back and forth of the steering wheel. The concern is on slick road surfaces (i.e., ice, snow, gravel, etc.) of being able to maintain control of the vehicle with the possibility of overcorrecting. After three days at local Honda dealership with approximately 140 miles of test drives, we were finally able to get the service manager to recognize the problem. Once they dug further into the documentation I provided them, they were able to convince a Honda representative that it was an issue in the hybrid version of the CRV as prior bulletins did not indicate the hybrid version was affected. According to the dealership, the gearbox component needed to correct the issue is on back order - they have requested escalation but no ETA. There are no warning lamps or messages.

November 2023, vehicle steering starting "sticking" when turning the steering wheel. Increased pressure is needed to turn the steering wheel during these episodes. This has been observed at all speeds, not just highway speeds. CRV was taken to dealership in January 2024 where the service department diagnosed it as needing a new steering gear box. We were told that the part would not arrive until April 2024 and were also told that we had to continue driving the vehicle and a loaner would not be given. Vehicle was purchased from Sons Honda in McDonough GA March 2024 we were notified by the service department that the part would now not be available until September 2024. We were still not offered a loaner to drive. My wife is very hesitant on driving this vehicle especially in wet conditions.

When approaching highway speeds, the steering gearbox is binding and sticking so that I have to constantly correct the direction of the CRV. This is a very unsafe condition as the vehicle will not reasonably maintain a straight line. I reported the problem to the dealer, Underriner Honda, Billings, Montana, on Tuesday, [XXX], and they have ordered a replacement gearbox, now "back-ordered" from Honda.

The steering rack per Honda has to be replaced due to a manufacturing defect. When driving on highway, the steering sticks in place causing the driver to have to use force to get it unstuck. Very dangerous.

This vehicle has the sticky/jerky steering problem. It started around 5500 miles. It is an intermittent problem that is very noticeable when it is cool outside. This is the same problem that the NHTSA has been investigating (investigation EA23003)

The steering wheel is sticking when driving. From the center driving position, turning in either direction more than 1 degree causes the steering wheel to stick requiring you to push hard which causes it then to jump and most often over steer. I think this is a dangerous issue since it requires you constantly correct the over steering that occurs during normal driving. I took the vehicle back to a Honda dealer who has confirmed the issue is the steering rack assembly and that it needs to be replaced. It appears to be a large scale problem for Civic and CRV vehicles with the part being on back order with no expected delivery date. I have been on this backorder list for 4 weeks without any idea of a delivery date.

The steering on this car is sticky. This problem started in December of 2023. At that point the car had 8000 miles and it was diagnosed at the dealer. At that time they ordered a steering rack. We returned to the dealer on 1/25/24 and were given 4/4/24 as an estimated time for the part. At that time, the dealer was unable to replicate the sticky steering. On 4/1/24, the estimated time for getting the new part was extended out to 9/6/24. The intermittent problem with the steering is annoying at best and possibly dangerous at worse. We are concerned for our safety and believe that the timeframe for repair/part replacement is grossly inadequate. The dealer was unwilling to provide us with a loaner car until this can be resolved.

STICKY STEERING AND GETTING HARDER TO MANAGE

Power steering rack failure at approximately 9000 miles. The problem was reproduced at the service center. There were no warning messages, lights, etc. The car developed very jerky steering making it difficult to maintain lane with ease. The car has been at the dealer since December 6, 2023 and the part is backordered. Part is not expected until September 2024.

Lane departure system malfunctioning. Lane departure warning comes on when driving in center of lane with both lane detection indicators green.

The Object Approaching Warning alarm came on at two times when stopped at an intersection stop light. The first time was when an oncoming vehicle was approaching in the center of the intersection. The second time this occurred was when my vehicle was stopped for a stoplight with all surrounding cars stopped and not moving. If the collision mitigation system was working and the system activated when driving, it is my understanding that the vehicle should emergency brake causing a possible collision by a following vehicle. Took the vehicle to a dealer who stated that that they could not duplicate the problem and that they would no longer work on the vehicle for ANY repeat issues that they were not able to duplicate or confirm in the past creating further safety issues for myself and other drivers.

I own a 2023 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD and I'm experiencing a concerning issue with the steering system. The steering wheel feels "sticky" and lacks the smooth operation expected. While driving, this stickiness becomes pronounced, requiring excessive pressure and torque to maneuver the wheel properly. This has led to instances of oversteering, posing a significant risk of accidents or mishaps. Despite replicating the issue at the dealership, they've dismissed it as "NO CONCERN." However, I'm aware of numerous complaints to the NHTSA regarding this same issue. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter thoroughly and compel Honda to replace the EPS steering rack in affected vehicles promptly to prevent potentially severe accidents.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became "sticky" with the contact struggling to turn the steering wheel. There was no warning light illuminated. Over time, the contact stated that failure had gotten progressively worse, and the vehicle was eventually taken to a dealer. While on a test drive with a mechanic, the mechanic confirmed the steering wheel failure, and a request was sent from the dealer to the manufacturer for a power steering rack replacement. Both the dealer and the contact were initially given a 3-month ETA by the manufacturer as to when the part would become available. Recently, the contact received an email where the ETA date was removed, and the part availability remained unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

Hello I want to report that my vehicle has a problem with steering being sticky. The car has around 8000 miles. I started feeling that steering was heavier and stickier than normal. The dealership has confirmed that there is a problem with steering rack but it has been several months and the part is still on back order. This sounds like a safety incident waiting to happen so I wanted to report it to right channels because Honda is not making this a priority.

At about 14,000 miles, started experiencing issues with steering wheel. It is harder to keep a straight line. On gradual turns, steering “sticks” and doesn’t return to natural position, therefore, overcorrection is needed causing vehicle to jerk. If steering goes back to “normal”, due to initial overcorrection, staying in lane is hard potentially causing a wreck or turning vehicle upside down.

Problem with power steering. When making small changes in steering while going straight, the steering seems to bind, then catch, and jerk. The dealer checked the problem in November and said the power steering gear box need to be replaced, but that the part would not be available for months. The problem was intermittent at first, but now occurs all the time. I called the dealer last week and they said the part is supposed to be available in April, but that has not been confirmed. The dealer has provided us with a rental car to drive until the replacement power steering gear box comes in. They have been cooperative and seem as frustrated as we are. I know the NHTSA is already looking into this, but I thought you might want to know about another vehicle with this problem.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a critical safety issue with my Honda CRV EX 2023, specifically concerning the steering mechanism. The steering feels excessively "sticky," making it extremely challenging to control the vehicle, particularly at higher speeds on the freeway. This issue poses a significant safety risk, as it requires an excessive amount of effort to keep the car steady, resulting in several near misses and a profound sense of insecurity while driving. Despite bringing this matter to the attention of the dealership, I have been consistently dismissed with the explanation that it is related to the lane departure safety system. However, this assertion is demonstrably false, as the problem persists even when the lane departure system is deactivated. Furthermore, it is illogical to attribute a safety system as the cause of decreased safety, as its purpose should be to enhance passenger safety, not compromise it. Additionally, the car shows no warning and dealer did not detect any issues during their multi-point inspection during a service. It is important to note that this issue is not isolated to my vehicle alone. I have spoken with an Uber driver who also operates a Honda CRV 2023, and they have reported experiencing the same steering problem. This indicates a systemic issue that demands immediate attention and resolution. Having driven other vehicles without encountering similar problems, I am deeply concerned about the safety implications of this defect. Therefore, I urge your agency to investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action to rectify this serious issue. The safety of drivers and passengers must be prioritized, and it is imperative that steps are taken to ensure that all affected vehicles are made safe for operation. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift and effective resolution

For several months now, the steering wheel seems to "slip" and feels "loose" when reaching highway speeds, making it difficult to control the vehicle. It is now a daily occurrence.

When driving the car will false brake or alert to brake when nothing is directly in front of the car. Many instances the car will catch a car in the lane beside it and brake because it thinks the car is in front of it and will begin alerts and braking the car while driving on the interstate. Internal electronics like the infotainment will stop working and no longer play music, pull information from device when trying to connect via Bluetooth or USB. Had many occurrences where the port will respond with BAD USB and not connect. Only fix to get it working in the meantime has been factory resets. Have had to perform over 30 in the year of ownership.

The steering gets stuck while at high speed on the highway (with lane assist off). The danger happens when you have to turn harder then it appears the break free and you can move to far over in the lane. Call it sticking steering wheel or maybe the electronic steering system is locking, not sure. Bringing it to the dealer but their first comment was there are no issues. This is like a workout to drive or added stress because it does not smoothly turn back and forth.

The steering of My 2023 Crv has recently been stiff when in the center and turning slight left or right. Just today, we nearly hit something because the steering was stuck when turning left. I had to pull it back to the center. The car is dangerous to drive considering that i was with my family. My Crv has been to the dealership numerous times because of issues with the steering, but this is the first time i have experienced having the steering stuck when turning.

While driving on highway the steering wheel has been sticking. we tried reaching out to honda but they aren't helping they test drove the vehicle but unable to identify the issue this issue is related to the Electric Power Steering

Issue with steering. Vehicle occasionally and sporadically has a sticking wheel. When driving and making a slight adjustment the wheel sticks slightly and has to be adjusted.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle frequently veered to the left independently, after which the contact became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly. The power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the steering rack and pinion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 12,000.

While driving noticed the steering began sticking and was not fluid. Force was needed to control and turn the car. In addition, started getting alerts for lane keep assist malfunctioning while it was turned off and not in use. Called the dealership and they indicated it would over a week before they had an appointment available. I have 2 cars so stopped driving the Honda. Last week I decided to drive and the steering had become worse with almost a full loss of control at times. Also noted the steering column had started shaking when driving the car in reverse. The car was dropped off Sunday 10Mar24 at my local Honda dealership and they have informed me the steering rack needs to be replaced and that I could come pick the car up until the part comes in. I informed the dealership I would not be picking the car up until the repair was made, as it is unsafe to drive.

The steering wheel seems to be sticking causing jerking feeling. When I adjust the wheel going down highway to stay in lane it feels like the steering wheel is jumping over a spoke. It is not right and feels unsafe. There was no accident. Started shortly after purchase in June 2023.

The steering on my 2023 Honda CR-V keeps sticking or freezing in place and you have to correcting the steering wheel all the time to get it unstuck, you are constantly correcting the steering wheel to keep the vehicle on the road. it is very unsafe to drive.

2/24/2024 I was in a library parking lot, going parking lot speed where children might be encountered. I turned right into a perpendicular parking space, no cars on either side. I went to brake as I approached the parking lot bumper and the car unexpectedly accelerated and would not stop. I crashed into a tree and metal pole, which stopped the car. I don't believe the car would have stopped without the tree and pole. I put the car in reverse and with difficulty backed back into the parking space. The right fender is severly damaged, right tire flat and I was unable to move the tires back to a straight position. The car cannot be driven. Yesterday, 2/23, I was at the dealers for oil change and tire rotation and was told there was a recall on the vehicle which required a softwear update. Reading my maintenance report it seems that this was an emissions recall, service bulletin 23-038 and the PGM-FI software was updated. This is a leased car which I got 3/31/23. No other cars or people or property were damaged or harmed. If this had happened near people and cars I fear that someone could have been killed or severe property damage would have occurred.

My 23 Crv is having problems with the steering, it has only 6 thousand miles on it. There is a creaking sound in the steering when turning left, it took me several times to deal with the dealership before they handled it, now, i am experiencing stiff steering when driving. When driving and the steering is on the center and if i try to move it right or left, there is a spot that feels rough or stiff.

When driving on the highway during moderately long trips have experienced the steering sticking and have to overcompensate to turn the wheel. As a result I am constantly fighting with the wheel to keep straight on the highway. We initially thought this was possibly the lane assist but we shut off the lane assist and the sticky steering still continued. Driving the car long distances is exhausting as you are constantly fighting against the sticky steering to keep within your lane of traffic. Both my husband and i drove on the highway and experienced the same situation.....Brought to dealership today [XXX] to be fixed as I saw info online that this is a known concern but because they couldn't replicate it, they won't fix the issue....it sometimes takes a while driving on highway for this situation to show....and if the dealer doesn't allow the time for a long drive they won't be able to replicate it. Bought the crv new summer 2023...first noticed the pull heading north on [XXX] to nh in aug...experienced on trip to west mass on mass pike in sept....experienced again on trip to vt in nov....then again on trip to CT in March. These were long trips where issue VERY noticeable because exhausted at the end managing the steering. Thought steering was just stiff (new to hondas) so didn't reach out to dealer before now..trip to CT was hard so looked online to see if there were issues and saw latest complaints....so made appt with dealer....

Steering wheel sticks causing me to over steer. Took it to dealership twice and was told it was safe to drive. When I asked them to put it in writing they kept my vehicle and Honda provided a rental car for 3 months.

The steering becomes sticky when driving. It can't be adjusted smoothly, but can only be done using extra effort. The steering wheel turns a larger degree than expected. Instead of turning at arbitrary angle, it skips from one to another but not any between. It causes overcorrection and makes it very difficult to drive straight.

On January 19, 2024 my wife was driving the CRV when it suddenly slammed on the brakes bringing the car to a full stop. The dashboard screen said Object Detected. It was a violent stop, so much so that she thought she had been rear-ended. Luckily, she was not going very fast and the car behind her was able to stop without hitting her. If it had happened at a higher speed on a busier road she and others could have been injured or killed in a crash. She called me crying and upset and could not get off the road because the problem repeated four or five more times. We had the dealership come pick up the car and they found code "P2583-54" for the radar system aiming incomplete stored in the car. They performed a static and dynamic re-aiming of the radar and said it was ok. We felt the vehicle was unsafe and entered into arbitration with NCDS. The manufacturer never explained what the cause of the radar malfunction was (such as faulty hardware, rushed manufacturing, etc) and expressly stated that they could NOT guarantee the problem would not happen again. There had been snow and ice present on that day. The sensors had problems (different alarms and sounds but no phantom braking) again on Feb. 16th. These dates are the only two significant snowfall days we have had since purchasing the vehicle. We feel the vehicle is unsafe in any amount of snow or ice and think an investigation should occur into the radar system so that a recall can be issued so that nobody gets hurt or killed. Thank you.

Steering feels sticky at high and low speeds. Feels as if the steering is jumping out of your hands.

12/25/23 While driving my new 2023 Honda CRV with approximately 9,500 miles on it, I experienced a twitching or sticking of the steering wheel. I noticed this today on the interstate while driving at speeds between 55-70 mph. It was more apparent when driving in a straight line, and the steering was sticking in either direction when I made minor corrections to maintain that straight course. It felt like I was having to continually fight the sticky steering to maintain a straight course. There were no warning lights. I got off the interstate, and verified that none of the lane keeping assists were on, and they were not. I took a different route home this day. Over the next few weeks, the problem seemed to be more apparent, and I started avoiding using highways and interstates whenever possible. I made an appointment with the Honda dealer. (This issue does also occur at lower speeds, but is more noticeable at higher speeds.) 02/10/24 At approx. 11,700 miles, I brought the car to the Honda dealership for my appointment to discuss the problem. They stated there were no recalls for my vehicle and no reported issues of this type brought into their dealership. I discussed that my symptoms were "exactly" the same as those listed those in NHSTA ODI investigation #EA23003. I was then told that that the ODI investigation document I showed them was not a "Honda document." After I requested that a service technician test drive my vehicle, which they did, the dealer then contacted the Honda Corp. techline. Honda techline said to order a new EPS steering rack unit, but there was no ETA for this replacement part. I was told "maybe" the part would arrive within a few months from date of this service. I believe this could be a serious safety issue. If the problem continues to get worse, I believe there could be the potential for catastrophe failure as the steering isn't responding as it should be under normal driving circumstances.

When driving on the highway, the steering is sticky. There seems to be some slight resistence in the steering wheel. When I steer through the resistence, the vehicle tends to overreact and I have to steer back in the other direction. The steering of the vehicle lacks the sensitivity and responsiveness that I found in previous CRV's that I owned.

All warning lights on the auto’s dash will spontaneously light up and start alarming while I’m driving. This has been happening since I bought the car, I have brought it into the dealer and written the dealer multiple times about this. It seems to be worse in the summer when the air conditioning is running and has also happened occasionally in the winter with the heat running but much less frequently. The Honda service center is not able to identify the problem. It is very distracting and dangerous when this happens on the highway.

Intermittent sticky steering - requires effort to make even small adjustments. Feels unsafe.

While driving the steering wheel sticks when making slight turn

Stiff and Sticking Steering

The steering rack it’s sticking when taking a corner and some times it’s locked in a way that the car can be driven safely.

Issue can be best described as sticky steering. Issue is worse at higher speeds, especially highway speeds. It feels like the steering wheel gets kind of stuck, and requires more effort to overcome the sticking point.

sticky or notchy steering while driving straight. Steering wheel requires a slight increase in effort to overcome the notch felt in the steering. Typically happens between 30 and 75 mph. The Honda dealer has reproduced the problem. They say it is "safe" to drive and the parts are NOT currently available. First noticed 12/07/23 and continues intermittently. There are no warning lights.

The steering on the vehicle seems to stick while driving while making corrections while driving straight down the road the wheel seems to stick then pop loose. The sticking varies in how hard it is to break loose. The way this occurs and its inconsistency concerns me that it may completely stick at some point at speed. I have had it in the service department twice for another repair and asked for this to be looked at but the tech does not see an issue.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH and changing lanes, the steering wheel failed to return to center and seemed to seize. The contact manually re-centered the steering wheel. The contact then noticed that the electric power steering was temporarily not functioning. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was operating as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: EA23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,000.

Steering is not responsive. It feels ‘sticky’ or ‘notchy’ and takes an effort to turn, especially at highway speeds. Driving on two-lane roads with oncoming traffic is concerning because of the effort required to steer.

The steering rack on my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid is defective. When steering the car, the steering wheel has a "sticky" sensation or feels like it is catching, making it difficult to steer. Not only that but on approximately December 9, 2023, the car made an immediate hard right turn while I was driving it. I did not turn the wheel of the car, it did it on its own. I was able to re-gain control of the vehicle but it put me and my child in danger. A warning light flashed up on the dash but I was not able to read it as I was trying to steer the car out of the other lane. The car has been at the dealer since December 14, 2023. They have been able to re-create the sticky steering issue and they have told me the car is unsafe to drive. Honda is making faulty, dangerous vehicles. There were no warning messages prior to this happening.

Steering wheel is "sticky" on the highway while driving mostly straight. At times, over correction has occurred because of the stickiness. I feel this is a dangerous condition. I have had the dealer look at it and the technician claimed there was no issue.

Transmission not shifting and losing power while in traffic. RPM'S goes really high while driving on flat land and uphill. This has happened numerous times putting me in danger while in traffic. It is not continuous but spontaneous. It causes deceleration like my transmission is not working.

We are having a very difficult time steering our low millage 2023 Honda CRV. We purchased this vehicle for our daughter brand new from Coggin Honda in Orlando in November 2022. The difficulty is with the steering which fluctuates from not very noticeable, to very severe. When it's severe, it feels like the wheels "lock" into a direction and requires continuous small jerks from left to right, or right to left. I know others are reporting this condition and they call it "sticky" steering, which is the same for us. After we noticed this condition, we took the vehicle to the dealership in Dec 2023. They verified the problem and admitted that the steering box is defective, however they said that the part is "back-ordered". I have called the dealer several times, however they keep giving me the same answer that they still have not received the revised/replacement part. They also have told us to go ahead and keep driving the vehicle, however I don't believe this is safe since this would be a safety issue if the driver needed to make an emergency maneuver to avoid an accident. As such, we can no longer allow our daughter to drive it since it's so difficult to drive. This is completely unacceptable to have purchased a brand new Honda that cannot be driven safely. The dealership is not giving us any estimate when they can repair this condition, and I feel that pressure should be placed on Honda to get the replacement parts manufactured immediately, and send out a safety recall notice to the owners of all vehicles affected.

Every time we drive the vehicle at sustained highway speeds, the steering will develop a "sticky" point when turning left (e.g., when changing lanes). It feels like a momentary catch in the smooth turning of the steering wheel and requires additional effort to continue the turn.

When driving straight and moving the steering wheel slightly it sticks.

When driving the vehicle the steering seems to slip. It happens at various times that can't be pin pointed. The only way I know how to describe the issue is that it feels like the steering wheel slips. It feels like you lose control of the steering. The car can be stopped at a light or driving at any speed when this happens. This has happened since I bought the vehicle brand new.

Vehicle began having "sticky/binding" steering at roughly the 6000 mile mark. I have reported this to 2 dealers, one said they couldn't replicate it in their 5-6 mile low speed drive (even though I asked that they take it on the highway), another told me they would charge me to look into it. The steering issues are worse, occurring even at low speeds and I am constantly fighting to keep my vehicle from abruptly turning. I have an appointment with yet another Honda dealer on March 5, 2024 (made back in early January) to look at this and bad brakes that I was told I had during inspection (inspector said they should not look this bad so quickly), but this honda dealer, like the other two, tell me they have never heard of the sticky steering issues.

The steering is sticky. After a while driving at speed, the steering wheel starts to be sticky. It take more of an effort to get the wheel to turn. This makes driving the car kind of jerky and less smooth.

The steering wheel sticks when I reach approximately 50 MPH requiring more effort to steer the vehicle. The car mileage as of today is approximately 3500 miles. I urge you to recall this vehicle.

The problem is intermittent. The lane keeping assistance seems to cause the steering to become "sticky" while freeway driving. It becomes difficult to turn the steering wheel small amounts, like its stuck, and applying extra force to steer causes over correction. I can't really pinpoint at what times it happens, but I notice it most when driving on freeways at freeway speed.

Steering feels "sticky" at highway speeds and lacks responsiveness and nuance typically associated with power steering. Can sometimes move the steering wheel upwards of a 2-3 inches without the front wheels actually turning in real-time. All drivers in my family (including teens) noticed this issue immediately. Seems worse in the cold and when the weather is damp. I've read reports of other experiencing the same thing, and I've also read that the NHTSA is aware of this issue in 2023 Honda CR-Vs. I've taken my vehicle to the Honda dealership from whom I purchased it, and they have supposedly ordered a replacement power steering rack. Of course, that was two months ago, and only after nagging the dealership did I get some sort of movement on the issue. Overall dissatisfaction with Honda and the dealership on this issue - however, it will apparently be fixed at no cost to me.

The steering is failing. When driving it will bind and then release in a manner that makes it difficult to control, and making it dangerous. Dealer claims it is normal but it’s a known issue and mine seems to be worse than others. No warning lights.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and completing a turn, the steering wheel had to be manually turned back to center. The contact became aware that the electric power steering was not functioning properly. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the electric power steering. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: EA23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

Sticky steering. Wheel gets “stuck” then breaks loose

At speeds of approx 40mph and up I am experiencing "sticking/resistance" in the steering. This is requiring me to make extra effort to correct and in some cases causes me to "oversteer" to correct the issue. It's almost like LKAS has taken over but LKAS is off. Also, since purchasing the vehicle new an LKAS warning light randomly appears when backing up the vehicle that tells me to "see dealer". Vehicle currently has 20,000 miles but this issue has been happening since approx 7,000 miles. I did take the vehicle into my local dealership to diagnose and they could not replicate the problem. I now see there are many complaints about the same issue with other 2023 CRV owners.

Car exhibits temporary locking or sticking of the steering wheel while making normal minor in-lane adjustments. The persistent sticking issue is most pronounced at highway speeds (> 60 mph) and on straight roads. This is the same steering issue widely reported for the 22-23 Honda Civic, which has the same steering equipment as the 2023 CRVs. Any defect that interferes with steering should be considered a safety hazard.

On a level straight highway and at highway speed, the steering is sticky. Within the lane, just moving the steering wheel takes extra effort to get beyond what feels like a notch in the steering. The more level and straight the road is the more noticeable the notch is.

The steering feels sticky. I started feeling symptoms from a month now and it is worsening over time. The steering feels sticky mainly when driven in freeways. Also, while changing lanes at speed <40 mph, the steering doesnot autocorrect, manual effort is needed to bring steer back to normal. Took it to dealer and they said its normal and I am not convinced with their answer

After 10,000 miles, I noticed that, on a level straight highway at highway speed, the steering gets sticky. It is like there is a notch in the steering and to get the car to move slightly left or right within the lane needs additional energy to get over the notch. I understand this problem is known to NHTSA. I am now reporting that I have the same problem. I took the car to the dealer today and they said they could not reproduce it. I, however, noticed it as soon as leaving the lot.

Frequent sticky steering at different speeds. No warning lights come on. It can be an annoyance and sometimes dangerous.

At around 8,000 miles on my 2023 Honda CRV I noticed a jerky or sticky steering wheel. The wheel doesn't respond properly to turning. The dealership says the Rack needs to be replaced and the part is on back order. I am worried about driving it safely. There is NOT currently a recall...however I've read more than 500,000 vehicles have this issue. And it may take months to replace. What can I do?

While driving at highway speed (60 to 65 mph), I tried to make a minor steering correction. I felt resistance to my efforts for about 1/2 second followed by a quick release and an abrupt "catch up" in the steering action. The action was not enough to result in lane departure or loss of control, but it was disconcerting and annoying.

Steering tends to "stick" when driving, most noticeably at highway speed. You can feel the steering wheel catch when you move the wheel, even slightly. Although the sensation is similar to when lane departure engages, it happens when the feature is off and when I am dead center in a lane. Seems to increase over the time and distance driven. I bought the car new and drove for some time before it became noticeable, but now it's nearly constant.

In months immediately before, and during our three week highway trip, steering would often briefly catch, or be sticky, while operating vehicle. Also, this occurred at very slow speeds in parking lots and on city streets, but not as often as on highways. Turning the wheel fully in parking lots would also result in a slight clunking sound. Would not occur initially when car was cold in the morning but as day went on and extended highway driving, steering would regularly catch or stick, causing driver to slightly tug the wheel back to center. It was so noticeable that I called two Honda dealers, one in South Carolina and my home dealer in Ohio to see if it was safe to drive home. When we got home, took car into Honda dealer and their technicians could not find anything out of the normal. While I have not noticed this steering tugging yet since coming home, we haven’t driven very much and definitely not extended highway driving as we did down south. This Hybrid CRV was delivered to us last June and now has 9328 miles on it. Can’t say that our safety was or wasn’t put in jeopardy but this did occur on crowded highways at highway speeds and did require us to compensate for it. No warning lamps or messages appeared on the car.

Driving down the highway at 65+ MPHwith the “lane departure” control off, the steering wheel will “stick” randomly” with any adjustment to stay centered in my driving lane.

The steering wheel becomes sticky when traveling at speeds over 60 MPH. When I try to turn the wheel to maintain center of road, the steering wheel has a small catch or sticky spot which makes it difficult to turn it. This first appeared around 4,000 miles in. I have not yet taken it to be inspected but will be soon.

It occurrs when the steering is dead centered, and very noticeable because when you are driving on a straight road, you are continually making very small left/right adjustments to steer straight. My vehicle is darting all over the road and cumbersome to drive. Pretty scary and dangerous. It feels STUCK and requires a continous amount of effort to overcome the resistance. This is a dangerous and scary issue and needs to be recalled and fixed asap.

Steering wheel "sticks" while driving at different mph. When it sticks and then breaks free, it causes a sudden jerk in the direction I am steering and has created several close calls for an accident. Luckily I was able to avoid other cars and being taken off the road into a ditch. There is a serious issue here that is not being addressed. I took my car to one dealer and they could not find anything wrong. I took my car to another dealer and was able to show the technician what was happening. They diagnosed an issue with steering assembly and will replace when parts are available. Fortunately the service center is able to provide me with a loaner car so I can drive safely until this is fixed.

Sticky steering at normal driving speed going straight. Slight resistance to make steering adjustments, dangerous on slick roads. No warning lamps or messages.

The steering keeps getting stuck on my 2023 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring, especially at speeds over 60mph. This has almost caused me to have an accident on two separate occasions now while on the highway. The only way to get the steering wheel to become unstuck is to apply moderate force to turn the wheel, causing the vehicle to jerk abruptly in that direction.

When driving the steering wheel seems to stick momentarily. No warnings lamps or messages appear. There seems to be no reason for it to stick and the problem cannot be reproduced upon demand. When this happens, the temporary loss of steering capability can be unnerving. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer’s service center and the entire steering system was checked and steering components re-torqued. The sticking steering wheel has been occurring since we purchased the vehicle.

The steering on our CRV seems to do this jerky "sticky" thing on turns where it's almost fighting or stuck in a position for a split second. It's happened a few times on turns of about 20+MPH. I've been noticing this happening more as of late, the car has about 8500 Miles or so. It happens about every 1 of 5 trips I take on it, and I've felt it at highway speeds and on streets. I also hadn't told my wife about this because I thought it was just me noticing this, but today she called and mentioned that the steering felt sticky, and just ackward and was worried about it getting worse. So this confirms that it's not just me feeling this slight tick or stickyness in the steering. It's starting to worry me and now my wife because we bought this car as a family car because we have an 8 month old child that puts this problem front and center for us.

Electronic power steering gearbox, faulty (Sticky steering) The steering wheel constantly sticks in position where you have to continually correct the direction its pulling you. The dealership is aware and has confirmed the issue. Replacement parts have been ordered but there is a three plus month backorder. (accident concerns if issue gets any worse) No warning lights or messages activate with this issue.

The steering was stiff, sticky when driving up to 30 mph up. And experienced steering wheel temporary locked (cannot control anything) for a few second on highway. My steering is sticky and seems like it’s getting worse. When make tight left turn and go back , has a clunky sound.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My 2023 Honda CRV Hybird Touring is exhibiting what is now known as sticky steering issue. The issues surfaces after driving the vehicle for a minimum of 15 to 20 mins on a highway and more prominent at speeds of 60 miles per hour or above. Out of now where, the steering feels like its stuck and requires bit of more effort to turn it out of this locked position. When it is stuck in a certain position, I could even remove my hands of the steering and the steering wheel stays in this position unless either I turn it by hand or based on the road conditions (due to bumpy rough roads) unlocks itself from this position. Problem doesn't show up during the first 15 to 20 mins of the drive during a way but once it appears, doesn't go away until next day. Unfortunately, I wont be able to provide my vehicle for inspection as I depend on it very much for my regular office commute. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I honestly feel a bit frustrated and terrified when this happens while driving at high speeds on the highway and I don't feel comfortable or safe to drive it anymore. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? It is currently at a nearby Honda dealership for the regular maintenance. I have explained this problem to the service representative and he said the technician will look into it and will try to replicate it. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, I didnt go this far. But if the dealership doesn't acknowledge the problem and wont fix it, I will take this to the next level. Probably speak to someone at Honda head office or an NHTSA representative. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, not at all.

At highway speeds, the steering feels sticky, like the wheels are stuck in a rut or that the steering wheel can't do smooth turns, especially around curves in the highway. This has occurred consistently while driving on the highways. I feel like there is more force needed to keep the steering smooth with the possibility of over compensating and losing control of the vehicle, which is scary while trying to stay on a curve. I took the vehicle to Bell Honda on Saturday, Jan 27th for the issue and they "could not duplicate the issue" and did nothing to fix the problem. There were no other warning signs or lights that indicate an issue, just the performance of the vehicle.

The steering / steering wheel has been sticking while driving my 2023 Honda CRV, meaning the steering wheel does not turn smoothly but sticks while driving the car, forcing me to put slightly more pressure on the steering wheel to keep it steering safely and inside the lane. I think I noticed this problem probably 3 or 4 months ago. The problem does not seem to occur right away after leaving home and sometimes not at all while driving at lower speeds. I notice the sticky steering more often when the car is on the freeway going at a higher speed, but the sticky steering continues even when the car slows down.

Steering is often "sticky" causing driver to exert more pressure than normal to turn the wheel. Have expressed concerns to dealer and am waiting for parts to be ordered, they do not have an ETA for parts, in the meantime just having to deal with it.

On 1/24/2024 I experienced an issue with "sticky steering" which made my vehicle difficult and unsafe to drive. I felt that it was difficult to keep my vehicle in a single lane. This issue has already been reported to the NHTSA by other owners of the same vehicle. The vehicle is scheduled to have the issue reviewed on 2/5/2024 at the selling dealership. There were no warning lamps when this issue happened.

The driver side mirror cracked. No impact to mirror; it happened overnight while vehicle was parked in my garage.

During highway driving and city driving, my 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid steering system requires momentary extra force to overcome a sticky steering problem. This happens when turning both left and right. It is available for inspection if needed. Before overcoming the sticky steering, the car tracks in the direction where the steering is “stuck”, which can lead to undesired direction of travel for the car. This puts the driver and surrounding vehicles at risk. I brought the car to my local Honda branded dealer, who of course could not replicate the situation and mentioned this is normal operation and agreed that it can be somewhat annoying. They mentioned the civic problem but declined to have a service supervisor ride with me when offered to explain further. There are no warning lights associated with this problem.

The steering sticks and causes an increase in effort to make small steering adjustments. When it does release I have to correct for over-steering.

The following incidents with my vehicle 2023 ST CRV Hybrid purchased in July 2023 are as follows: 1. Emission system failure with no resolution after a month at the dealership. 2. Powertrain: unresponsive due to loose wiring. 3. Immobilizer system: it was engaged after receiving emission system failure.

Unknown. At highway speeds, steering control jerks to the right and left as if I have lane assist on and it’s taking control. I do not have lane assist enabled when this occurs. It’s like the steering column has a catch. This is dangerous. The steering is taking over against where I’m steering.

Horn installed in vehicle sounds like a Clown’s horn. When we have needed the horn to prevent an accident the other drivers are unable to hear this horn. Honda needs to add a second horn to all the vehicles so that it is louder and has a tone that is more likely to alert other drivers of a problem. A Honda dealer has developed an upgrade kit to allow for the installation of a second horn. I have attached a copy of receipt for the purchase of this part.

The steering wheel has a slight stickiness when making slight turns after being driven for several miles. This occurs during normal driving and is more noticeable at speed. The stick can be overcome fairly easily but when it breaks loose it causes the vehicle to dart in the direction of the turn if not compensated for. The condition is not a big problem on a dry road. On 01/23/2024 I was driving in a moderate rain making a sweeping turn at 45mph. The steering had the stick and when I overcame it to correct the car actually started to hydroplane. I compensated for the hydroplane however I feel this is a potentially dangerous situation that could cause an accident and possible injury. I first noticed the sticking of the steering in approximately July of 2023. I called the dealer where I bought the car and reported the problem. The service manager told me they had not had any reports of the problem and they would check it out when I came in for service. I have not taken the car into the dealer yet. The mileage when I first noticed the problem was approximately 8000 miles (July 2023). The car now has 16500 miles (January 2024) There are no warning lights or messages on the dash to indicate a problem.

While driving , the steering wheel feels like it is sticking and jerking. It is not a smooth motion as it was when first received the vehicle. Because of this sticky steering it sometimes causes driver to over compensate making it a potentially hazardous situation. Have contacted dealer who said it is not a reported problem for this VIN however it is real and I am taking it in for further evaluation.

The steering "sticks" making it dangerous to keep control of the auto.

The steering on this vehicle will stick at times when driving on the highway. When steering to the left or right off of center, there is a noticeable resistance before the steering wheel will turn. There are no warning lamps or other messages that appear on the instrument cluster. I have called the dealer and there is no recall at this time. I also called Honda customer service and they said that any repairs would be an out of pocket expense because my vehicle is past the warranty mileage limit. There has been a similar problem with the steering on Honda Civics and a technical service bulletin has been issued. The problem I am experiencing with the CRV seems to be the same.

My steering seems to be resisting or getting stuck. Navigation assist is turned OFF.

The steering on the car is not right. It goes from being stiff at times to feeling like it is moving/slipping/drifting on its own. It requires more effort to keep it in a lane on a flat, straight roadway than it should. My husband called it twitchy, I would just call it jerky, sticky, stiff but it scares me because it seems to have a mind of its own. Only has 9700 miles on it. We looked it up and found that you have an investigation on this. It needs to become a recall. I have an appointment at Roush Honda in Westerville OH on Feb. 3 to have it looked at but we are hearing that they are very backed up on parts. My husband has been awaiting a new windshield for his Honda for a month. The steering seemed less than smooth from the very beginning but seems to be getting worse. No warning lights going on. Others on a Honda CRV Facebook group discussion talking about this problem say they have never gotten any kind of warning light either. We have of course turned off the Lane Keep Assist setting so that is not it. Just wanted to report the problem since you are investigating. Worried they won't have parts to fix it when I go in and I'll be waiting months, putting my safety at risk. They shouldn't be selling cars with a problem like this they can't get parts for. I don't feel safe in this car right now and if there is a delay on parts they should be made to give us loaner cars. Thank you.

When driving, I will sometimes get a sticky steering wheel that requires excessive force to turn the wheel when trying to make small corrections when driving straight. It feels like the steering wheel is catching/stuck on something until a apply extra force. The steering is not smooth like it was when I purchased the vehicle or on other vehicles I drive. This often happens on the freeways at high speeds when minor corrections are needed and a large correction would be very dangerous

The steering is "sticky". It gets stuck in a position and it requires unusual force to regain full steering control. It is definately an uncomfortable and unsafe condition.

The 2023 Honda CR-V developed a sticky steering wheel when it reached about 7,500 miles. It was smooth steering up until then, but one day the steering wheel began to stick when you wanted to turn it. This is a safety issue as it interferes with safe driving as you have to jerk the steering wheel to get it to respond. Otherwise, the car will stay in the stuck position and keep moving the car in the stuck direction. I will contact the Honda dealer to report the issue and see if they are offering a fix for this definite safety issue. There has not been any warning lights indicating a problem with the steering.

Sticky steering, The steering sticks and releases in a gradual turn, very annoying. I feel this can be a safety issue. Dealer service tech could not confirm issue.

Passenger side mirror on door cracked after getting into freezing temperatures. No impact caused damage.

When driving at freeway speeds the car demonstrates sticky steering. Dangerous on lane changes and curves. Took into the Dealer(Tracy Honda) and they said they weren’t aware of the issue. After diagnosing it they determined that it needs a new steering rack. Back ordered until April.

When we purchased a vehicle, it appeared to have some kind of overspray and film on the front windshield. They attempted to polished or buff out the windshield which didn’t really help. While normal driving it’s hard to notice but when really refracts the lighting, which makes it extremely difficult to see. The dealer Tracy Honda is attempting to polish out the window. Once again, we will see if this makes a difference.

when driving at certain speeds and taking gradual turns, the steering gets stuck in place and it takes effort to overcome when you need to adjust direction to stay with the road/lane. It seems to be progressing as I did not notice this until the car reached 10k miles or so. I am afraid that with the increased effort to correct course, I may jump into another lane and/or lose control of vehicle. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they have it now awaiting parts. There has been no audio/visual warning to date.

My 2023 Honda CR-V EX-L (15 k miles) has been showing steering issues for some time now. The best way I can describe it as sticky. This issue can even seen at a stop and you turn the wheel slightly to the left or right. I contacted America Honda Corp and they tell me there is no recalls on my vin. I am going to a local dealer for then to diagnose. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased my 2023 CRV in April 2023. Sometime around October 2023, when it had around 8,000 miles on it, the steering began to intermittently become "sticky". When driving at highway speeds, the steering wheel would stick when making minor steering changes, requiring more effort to move the steering wheel and sometimes causing overcorrection. While this could happen at any time, it seemed to occur more above 40 mph. It also was more frequent in warmer temperatures or after the car had warmed up. I could reproduce it when sitting idle in park by very slowly turning all the way to the left or to the right. At about 80% max turn, I would start to feel the "sticky" steering. I finally was able to take it to the dealer on December 11, 2023. The technician acknowledged the issue, deemed the car unsafe to drive, and indicated the Power Steering Rack Assembly needs replaced. However, the parts are back ordered with a current delivery estimate of April 2024, so the current estimate is a 4 month wait to have a drivable car.

Dec 20, 2023: The steering wheel jerks while driving as if the lane keep assist was engaged. Steering becomes difficult because you have to constantly move the jerky steering wheel to keep the car in the lane. At one point, the vehicle was stopped at a light, and when I tried to move the steering wheel to the right, it locked up and then the steering wheel all of a sudden moved freely. This problem is becoming more pronounced. Vehicle has approximately 8,700 miles. To vehicle to the dealer and they couldn't replicate the problem.

When the vehicle was approximately 6 months old with approximately 5,000 miles (it only has approximately 6,200 miles now) I noticed an issue with the steering tending to "stick." At first it was subtle, like the steering was trying to follow a groove in the road surface, but it has become more pronounced with time. It is most noticeable when the steering is nearly centered and at highway speeds. The steering takes a "set" in a direction and you must overcome some slight resistance to correct. This constant "set and correct" is annoying and could pose a risk if the driver overcorrects, especially if the road surface is slippery. I don't want my wife driving the vehicle at freeway speeds.

While travelling on a straight highway (60 - 70mph). The steering sticks and a greater effort is required to do slight steering corrections. This causes overcorrection and potential lane departure. I have reported this at both my 2 previous services and was told they could not duplicate the issue. At the last appointment we took in information regarding the problem from various sources and were told if they could not duplicate it they could not fix it, leaving us hoping for an eventual recall. In the meantime we question how serious the issue is and how safe the vehicle is to drive.

The steering became very "sticky" making it difficult to drive straight. This started when the vehicle had around 6000 miles on it and was worse on highways and interstates. It became dangerous due to "oversteering" through the stickiness. As a result, the driver would turn more than desired while driving. This definitely causes safety issues with normal driving. There's no telling what would happen if you had to react quickly to something on the road. There were no warning lights or messages. We took it to our local Honda dealership in December 2023 and they confirmed that is was a defective steering column. The part will not be in until April. Although our local dealer approved a rental vehicle after asking, how many dealerships are willing to do this?

This issue became readily apparent in the last two months of driving on state roads up towards the thumb. These trips were approximately 50 miles, one way, at 50 to 60 mph. The issue is only noticeable when driving on a straight section of road. Problem is at its worst at speeds between 30 and 60 mph after driving approximately 20 miles. The steering feels as thought there are magnets opposing the steering wheel. When making small corrections, it feels like you have to break the magnets loose to move the steering wheel. This causes the vehicle to oversteer in the direction of correction, resulting in the need to correct in the opposite direction, resulting in a constant struggle to maintain lane position. NOTE; Over 60 mph, the effort to "unstick" the steering seems to dissipate as 70+ mph is approached.

I've noticed that sometimes the steering gets "stuck" when turning the wheel. This happens when I bring turning the wheel. It's like I'm trying to push the steering wheel past a notch.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45-70 MPH, the steering wheel was shaking abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering gearbox needed to be replaced. The mechanic informed the contact that approval from the manufacturer was needed before repairing the vehicle, and that the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a claim. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

Recently, when returning from a highway driving trip, I noticed that the steering had become "sticky." It feels like the steering wheel catches momentarily you have to push through that with the steering wheel to control the car. At this point the problem is mild as the car can be driven but it is a little disconcerting as you drive at highway speeds. I have taken the car to my Honda dealer and they say the steering needs a part that will not be available until April. I am concerned the car is not safe to drive.

The steering on my 2023 Honda Crv-ex has started sticking and is causing over steering when you try to gently shift to the right or left. The feeling is as if the steering wheel is stuck in position and you have to push slightly harder to get past the "catch". This has caused me to almost run off the road and also get too close to vehicles in the next lane as I am making minor adjustments within my lane. It feels as if you are about to lose control and then suddenly the steering wheel makes a tiny jerk and you can turn.

No Accident-Sticking Steering. Took it in for service 12/30/23. Told it was too dangerous to drive. No parts to fix available until April 2024. parts on back order. Will not have my car for over 3 months. Not fair,

I purchased this car 12 months ago and I have noticed over the last 4 months that the steering wheel has become stiffer, and sometimes vibrates slightly. I have not been involved in any accident because of these issues, but the potential is there. I was hoping that these problems were going to work themselves out, but a lot of other owners are complaining about the same issue. So, I am going to notify the dealership this week.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH and following the highway around a slight left curve, the contact attempted to return the steering wheel to the center and the steering had become difficult to return to center. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to a dealer. The service manager went on a test drive with the contact and experienced the failure. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact returned to the residence and then drove to another local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the steering failure had become a recurring failure. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: EA23003 (Steering). The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the steering wheel was sticking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The failure reoccurred. The vehicle was scheduled to be serviced at the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 7,060.

1. Steering 2. My 2023 Honda CRV EXL Steering is pulling, sticking with a jerk while driving at any speed. 3. The problem has been confirmed at a Honda dealership 4. Yes, it has been inspected at a Honda dealership 5. No warnings or messages have been displayed

Steering the vehicle became difficult. It would feel catchy or sticking which would lead to oversteer. Honda dealer service manager performed test drive and determined vehicle is unsafe to drive.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel jerked. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering gearbox had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,995.

The steering has become “Sticky”. It almost feels like it gets locked into place for about 10 seconds and then will release and will repeat this same process over and over. When the car is completely off, you can move the steering wheel and it almost feels like a rack and pinion issue. This has been going on for about 6 months. It doesn’t matter the speed you are driving at, you can feel it “catching” anytime. My husband has a 2023 Honda Accord and has no steering issues, so it’s definitely noticeable when I drive my vehicle vs driving his car. I drive on a very windy road to and from work everyday, and I worry that an accident will occur if this issue isn’t resolved. Which also brings me to worry, if it is resolved, do I have to worry about this arising in the future?

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the steering wheel slightly seized, and it became difficult to correct the steering wheel. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the power steering gear box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 31,000.

There is an intermittent problem when making slight adjustments to steering. It feels like the steering wheel is slightly "catching on something" or the steering is not smooth. It happens when the vehicle is moving and stationary. The dealer could not feel it. They only said that since it is electronically controlled steering, it is not going to be smooth. I could not believe this and I am worried that it could become worse or something could completely fail in the future. The problem was not present upon purchase of the vehicle, but began after about 5000 miles.

When driving about 30mph the steering wheel begins to “stick” and has some resistance when steering. Subtle now, but fear it may get worse .

During routine driving at all speeds the steering wheel will randomly move between 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch causing a slight movement of the car. Took car to Honda dealership and was advised that the EPS rack is bad. Car has approximately 15,000 miles and has no accident history. My concern is that, according to the dealer, is that the replacement parts will not be available for several months. I was advised that they have another customer with the same issue that was identified in October and the part is due to arrive in April. I was advised that the car is safe to drive, however my concern is it will get progressively worse in the six months it will take the replacement part to arrive. At what point does a known steering issue become unsafe?

Vehicle only has 21000 miles on it. At the 19000 mile range the steering started to stick while making normal highway adjustments. Took it to the dealer this morning and was told it’s normal. This is not normal!!! This steering problem has been getting worse. Help!!!!!!!!!!

On December 10th 2023 I was involved in an accident that I believe was caused by a defect in the vehicle. I was traveling at night with low visibility due to rain on an old country road with no street lights. I was rear ended while making a right turn and at the time did not think much about it as far as how it happened. I just assumed the driver that hit me was just not paying attention. While on side of the road I heard the driver tell his dad that it was not his fault that I just slammed on brakes in front of him. I was like whatever, you were just not paying attention. A few days later I got to thinking about it, I was using B mode in the transmission along with the paddle shifters to increase the regenerative braking capabilities. The regenerative braking is strong enough to slow the car down almost to a complete stop. While in this mode I only have to apply the brake pedal when I am very close to a turn. So to any driver behind me it would appear that I slammed on brakes right at my turn, even though they were applied the whole time I was slowing down using the regenerative braking of the car. The car is still drivable at least for a road test so I had someone follow me around to see if there were brake lights displayed during regenerative braking. After one short drive I found out the 2023 CRV Hybrid DOES NOT display brake lights during any use of regenerative braking. I tried B mode in the transmission, Sport mode, and the paddle shifters. At no point did the brake lights come on. To see if this was just an issue with my car I went to the local dealership on December 28th and test drove a 2024 CRV Hybrid and it also DID NOT display any brake lights. To see if it was a Honda issue in general or a model issue I test drove a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and IT DOES display brake lights in all forms of regenerative braking. This is an issue with 2023-2024 CRV Hybrid SUVs. I have filed a complaint with Honda as well.

Driving on 1000 mile road trip on 12/30. Vehicle has 6800 miles. First noticed very minor twitching, then as day went own by the time I stopped for night the steering had noticeably gotten worse. It went from twitching about half hour after I was on highway to four hours later it was very prominently sticking or catching at the slightest turn in road. Both left and right. I am terrified if it’s safe to drive the last 400 miles and Honda dealership is closed until Jan 2. There is something very very wrong with this make/model. It’s all over the internet and people are saying the steering part is on back order for months!!! Why is there no recall yet? There is no doubt this is a safety issue. I can’t drive thru the mountains not knowing if my steering is going to out.

When driving, especially on the interstate/high speeds, my steering wheel feels to be locked into place. I am unable to easily turn left or right to stay in my lane without a jerk/sticky feeling in the wheel. It feels like I have cranked the wheel as far as it will go, but the wheel is centered. The steering wheel will also occasionally randomly jerk small amounts either left or right. It makes interstate driving feel very unsafe and like I do not have full control. I had my alignment fixed a few months ago, but I have not taken it back to the dealership for this issue. No warning lights/messages.

After driving on expressway for 45 mi steering gets sticky , like it has a catch in the steering rack or steering shaft I’ve got 4000 mi on car ,it does not do it all the time

Steering wheel locks up entire time trying to drive and unsafe to keep in the lane safely. Hazard. Not safe. Please help that’s why I bought this car to safely transport grandchildren. Happens whether lane assist us on or off.

Cars steering jolts to the left or right when making minor adjustments at all speeds. Sticky steering. This needs to be addressed and a recall needs to be implemented immediately. This is not safe. When making minor adjustments when steering, there is an obvious wall of resistant that jolts as soon as you overcome that resistance by adding pressure. This can cause serious injury or death due to jolting steering, especially at freeway speeds. Please do something about this issue immediately!!!! 2023 CRV BUILT IN INDIANA MID 2023

The steering system recently began to have a sticky feeling after driving straight for a minute or so. After the release that requires extra pressure, the steering is fine until the wheel is going straight and the stickiness returns. appears to be the same issue that has been noted in Civics. Dealer thinks the same thing and a recall just hasn't been issued yet.

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Steering seems to lock when in a constant wheel position, either going straight or slightly turned for a large diameter constant turn. Steering frees with larger than normal force resulting in a jerkiness feeling. The needed effort could ketch the driver off guard and over or undercurrent. -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Steering feel is unnatural and makes small corrections in steering input difficult. Driver could over correct or not overcome the initial resistance resulting in an unintended path of travel. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Experience with local dealers in the past is that if it isn’t something that jumps out at them from the parking spot to the lift they indicate no problem/issue -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No -Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No

Steering Sticks and Very Stiff

I have been having a steering issue. It is jerky and hard to control. It doesn't matter what speed of whether the lane assist is enable. I took to my local dealer and they ordered parts. They did not give me a timeline on repairs, only that it is taking "awhile for parts. I was there on December 16, 2023. Should I be driving it?

Steering sticks. It feels like it sticks then releases. Does this every time it's driven. I reported to dealer where I purchased vehicle. They took it in and were not able to notice any issues. They put on computer and nothing alerted. It drove normal for about a week after I picked it up, but then issue came back again.

At about 5000 miles the steering sticks and is difficult to keep in lane. When stopped and the steering wheel is moved back and forth you can hear a clunking noise underneath. Took to dealer and could not confirm. No warning lights or messages.

Steeering wheel sticking at speed in straight line. It feels as if it is clicking with small steering movements. Scared it might get stuck. Movement of steering wheel is not smooth.

THE STEERING SEEMS STICKEY SEEMS TO WANT TO PULL YOU THE OTHER WAY EVEN WHEN ALL SAFETY OR SELF DRIVING SYSTEMS ARE OFF

On 7/11/23, I reported issue to my Honda dealership and headquarters (had case number) regarding reduced visibility impacted by driver’s side mirror vibrating, leading to dizziness and inability to clearly see cars using that mirror. Field representative drove car and said he couldn’t duplicate the issue. Still having issues with vibrating mirror.

- Steering - Yes, available for inspection - When driving on highway slightly turning the steering wheel to the left or right while going straight - it sticks - Yes - Rowe's Auto Body, Rte 211 - Middletown, NY ( Owner Eric - took it for a drive) - No police, no insurance company - No messages appeared on the information screen Still occurring as of today Dec. 19th, 2023

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the steering felt sticky while driving at various speeds, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle as if the power steering had failed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,900.

Steering is sticky, even with lane assistance turned off. Steering wheel resists efforts attempting to manipulate it when trying to make changes in direction, whether for turns, adjusting for curves in the road. or straightening position in lane. Steering wheel does not operate smoothly - must fight the wheel with every input. Issue is not intermittent, it is persistent, happens at all speeds, and is getting progressively worse.

Electric Power Steering is binding/sticking when making minor adjustments to keep vehicle centered in lane when driven on a straight road. When you apply more torque to overcome sticking steering it will release with a little jerk to the steering wheel and then overcorrect making it difficult to keep vehicle centered in your lane. This is less noticeable at slower speeds while more noticeable at higher speeds. This issue starts after a 15 to 30 minute drive. On icy roads the sticking steering and resulting overcorrection can cause you to loose control of vehicle which creates a safety hazard. Issue started in October of 2023. Raised issue with Honda Dealer when I had oil changed. Dealer recommended I bring vehicle back if problem persists. No warning lamps or messages have appeared. I will be returning vehicle to Dealer for evaluation.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate" and "Road Departure Mitigation System Problems" system messages were displayed. The traction control warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 600.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at speeds over 40 MPH, the steering wheel became firm momentarily. The contact stated that the driver's assistance technology was turned off. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was moving erratically. The steering wheel was pulling while was driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering rack was defective. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

issue related to Honda Sticky Steering problem. Problem is being investigated in over 530,000 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023 Honda CR-V and 2023 Accura Integra vehicles. I own a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid and would like to report that I am experiencing the same issues with Sticky Steering and am adding my concern to the list of other car owners with similar issues. I hope that a recall will be instituted to fix this serious safety problem/defect. It is my understanding that the NHTSA has now upgraded the investigation and look forward to a speedy resolution to fix the problem. Honda issued a TSB 23-037 back in July which told dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearboxes on 2022-2023 Civics if customers complained about sticky steering. A recall or similar order needs to be established to fix same issue with 2023 Honda CRV's.

After driving for a period of time, the steering exhibits "sticky" behavior. By this I mean that there is unexpected and unusual resistence to the steering of the vehicle. This behavior developed over a period of time - when new, the vehicle did not exhibit such behavior. While I cannot assert that this is unsafe, it certainly does not instill a sense of security or safety in driving the vehicle. I believe this needs to be investigated.

We were in a parking lot. When my husband (driver) put the car into reverse, it accelerated wildly, and the brakes would not work. We almost struck a pedestrian. We were able to put the car into park to stop it. We waited, checked to see if something was stuck under the pedal. Then my husband put the car into drive. It accelerated wildly again. Brakes did not work. We nearly struck a car. We waited. Finally, we thought the car was ok, and we attempted to leave the parking lot to head home. The car did it again. We called AAA and had the car towed to the nearest Honda dealership. It has been there for more than a week, and the service department is telling me that there is nothing wrong with the car. The American Honda rep told us the same thing.

This vehicle has the new "signature" Honda headlights. The low beam has two illuminated lights which oncoming drivers mistake as high beams. They flash their high beams at me to inform me that I am driving with high beams turned on when I am not temporarily blinding me and creating an unsafe situation. I live in a rural area with mostly single carriageway roads and this happens almost every time I drive at night.

I experienced a fuel theft while parked in a hospital parking lot. This vehicle has a fuel filler lid that opens from outside and can be opened by anyone. I came back to the vehicle to find the fuel filler lid open and the gas tank at a lower level than when I parked. I checked and there was no leakage. Fuel filler lids should open from inside vehicles or have a lock on them.

This vehicle has a binding sensation in the steering when at the steering wheel is at the center, i.e. vehicle going straight. When making small adjustments to stay in a lane, some extra effort is needed, then once that is overcome, the steering wheel moves normally. There were no warnings apparent on the dash, nor has the vehicle been inspected by a dealer, as this began to occur on a long road trip. The road surface does not seem to affect the behavior. When lane-keeping is active, you can still feel the binding as the electric motors for the steering overcome the sticky area. The vehicle is available for inspection. I hope to have it evaluated by a dealer soon. This did not cause any accident or out-of-control situation, however I am concerned this may be a precursor event to a larger failure of the steering.

Steering "sticks" when making small corrections at speeds above 30. There is a distinct restriction that must be overcome to make directional changes. When traveling on a smooth flat surface there is a definite restriction of "sticking" that must be overcome. Seems to occur after the car is driven 10 to 15 minutes. My CRV has approximately 9,400 miles when the problem surfaced.

Issues with steering wheel sticking while driving. It corrects itself, but initially causes the wheel to be pulled abruptly.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal to make a lane change, the vehicle revved up and hesitated before gaining forward momentum. The contact stated he heard an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that it sounded as if the electric hybrid propulsion system had shut off. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure to accelerate was intermittent and occurred when he was on the highway and was depressing the accelerator pedal to gain speed. Additionally, the contact stated that he observed that the vehicle would start independently and that the power door locks would fail to operate as needed. The contact stated that on several occasions after turning off the vehicle and entering the residence the contact heard the vehicle emitting a remote start beep. The contact stated that he approached the vehicle and the vehicle had independently started. The contact also became aware that the battery was drained intermittently, and the vehicle needed to be jumpstarted. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact had not retrieved the vehicle from the dealer. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

The steering is very hard and sticking making it difficult to drive if you have the lane departure on the steering wheel gets locked and in position and is difficult to correct and stay in your lane . Contacted the dealer they are not sure what causing the problem but the vehicle is dangerous to steer and extra force is needed to correct any and all steering movements. Very difficult to stay in your lane especially when at speeds over 55 mph

Problems with "sticky" steering wheel. When turning the steering wheel, I can feel soft "clicks" as if the linkage is getting stuck on something. Vehicle was fine when new- problem developed about 6 months after buying car new.

While driving at highway speeds, small steering corrections take significant effort due to a sticking of the steering wheel. It is noticeable at speeds above 50 mph and as you slow down still noticeable down to 20 mph. In town driving below 40 mph, there is no sticking. Two hands on the wheel are required to smoothly get past the sticking. A 1/4" movement of the steering wheel takes some effort. If driving with one hand, over correction is common because of the extra for required to get past the sticking. No warning lamps illuminated. I will be visiting the dealership this week. The stickiness became evident after driving the first 2500 miles.

The actual component or system is UNKNOWN. The vehicle is available for inspection. The safety issue is that the vehicle will drift into another lane even though both green lane indicators are illuminated posing a risk to myself and other drivers. The dealer mechanics stated that they could not verify or reproduce the problem. I reported the issue to Honda USA but they stated that they had no technical staff available that could provide information on the subject and that I would have to go back to the dealer. The dealer mechanics were unable to detect or resolve any problems with either system despite multiple attempts. Both the LKA and LDW error lights with instructions to "see dealer" had come on multiple times before the safety incidents. On a possibly related note, the Back Up Guidance System does not work on occasion and when that happens, the navigation system is very slow to come on. The navigation system comes on eventually after about 2 blocks of driving. I asked the dealership if they could check the software or perhaps any RAM memory that may exist as the problem seems to be related to a slow system response which would explain why the system checks out OK when analyzed by the dealer mechanics because the systems may seem to be working properly when the vehicle is parked but not working within their design parameters. They stated that there was no way to check the software or memory. The problem has occurred several times to date but I am only able to list one date on the form so I used 11/17/2023.

When the vehicle is put into reverse, the backup camera comes on but the Backup Guidance system does not come on at times. This may cause a potential for collision when backing the vehicle and is a safety issue.

A crack in the passenger side mirror randomly originated. No damage to the mirror assembly. The crack originated from left bottom side and extended toward the center in a singular curved line.

When driving the vehicle in the rain, there is water running inside of the driver's side door. The problem is evidenced by the sound of running water originating from the inside of the driver's side door. The issue was checked and verified by the dealer who removed the driver's side roof molding and sealed a spot by the roof molding clip. The issue was not resolved so the the dealer now states that the issue is inherent in ALL 2023 CRVs so there is nothing they can do about it. With that much water running within the door, there may be a potential for corrosion and possible structural failure of the door components.

Vehicle steering sticks at highway speeds, making it where extra force is momentarily needed to steal the vehicle. The steering then unsticks causing over steering of the vehicle. On 12/6/2023 the vehicle was taken to the Honda dealership, the dealership replicated the problem and suggested a steering rack replacement. On 12/07/2023 Honda tech line advised the dealership not to do the repairs as the steering issue was normal and not a safety concern. The dealership advised I would need to conduct a ride along with a corporate service person and have them approve the repairs if they felt it was needed. This steering issue has caused my vehicle to depart from the lane several times while driving and is unsafe. I will have documentation from the dealership after other repairs are made to the engine involving fuel system issues. The vehicle is currently at the dealership pending repairs.

2023 Sport Hybrid CR-V drove fine up until the first service. This was completed around 10k miles when my maintenance minder popped up at 15%. When the car was returned I noticed that the steering wheel felt "sticky" at times when driving, which usually occurred when driving straight. When trying to make slight adjustments in order to correct myself to stay straight, I have to apply more force to loosen the steering wheel which seems like it is catching on something. The excess force applied causes the car to make a jerking/jumping motion in either direction once it breaks free which then requires a quick adjustment in the opposite direction. So far this situation hasn't caused me to swerve into an adjacent lane hitting another car. This situation seems to occur more frequently when going 60+ MPH. However, this has still occurred to me while just driving around town at lower speeds, around 40 MPH.

THE STEERING WHEEL, ON OCCASSION WILL SEEM A LITTLE "STICKY" AND PULLS TO LEFT OR RIGHT IT FEELS LIKE. REALLY WEIRD. THIS IS "WITHOUT" ANY STEERING ASSISTANCE SETTINGS ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN MARCH, 2023

The power steering feels "sticky" or "lumpy". While driving straight with the lane keep assist systems turned off, making normal small corrections to maintain direction, the steering wheel yields small barriers to the steering wheel movement. The barriers (or lumps or stickiness) can be overcome by input pressure but it does not feel normal compared to any previous vehicle I have driven. This happens an all speeds, all weather conditions, on all different roadways. However sometimes it is more pronounced than others. Have not noticed a pattern to this. It is a complaint because, well, steering is important! The dealership evaluated this complaint and the result was "cannot duplicate complaint". 2023 Honda CRV Sport Touring. Odometer = 14000 miles. Complaint started around maybe 5000 mile or sooner.

Steering wheel is sticking while trying to make quick left or right turns from center while driving, with lane assist off or on. (New vehicle with less than 6000 miles.)

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became firm for several seconds and then became loosened. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the cause of the failure was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,700.

Sticky steering. Feels like someone holding the wheel when you try to move it.

Sticky steering while driving. The issue is intermittent and hence it's not always reproducible.

While diving on my first long trip in this vehicle, the steering seems to be hard or sticky when trying to keep the car in the middle of the road. I’m a smaller female and after long trips, it begins to be uncomfortable and I feel like I’m fighting to keep the vehicle in the middle of the road. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they evaluated the problem. They indicated that it was within specifications even without actually driving the vehicle as I had requested. The technician did say that the lane keeping system is causing the issue. It’s always on, so you are fighting it. The tech said Honda should have made it with an off position and that would have solved the issue. My concern is, during the end of a long road trip and being worn down, I may over or under compensate the and crash.

Steering System. When driving straight ahead, the steering requires extra pressure to turn off center about 50% of the time -either left or right. Vehicle in everyday use but available for inspection.. The problem is only noticeable to the driver who has major concerns about safety. The problem will be documented at its first service interval anticipated January, 2024 ( currently 5,373 miles ). The vehicle has not been inspected as yet. To the best of my knowledge, there are no warning lights or systems associated with a steering mechanism issue - which is an integral part of the vehicle and should have an expectation of safety without question, particularly a brand new vehicle. The entire steering system is now suspect and the problem is ongoing. THE DATE BELOW INDICATES APPROXIMATE DATE OF FIRST OCCURRENCE.

Sticking steering wheel. Feels like the wheel grabs or pulls.

The steering seems sticky after the first few months of driving and takes effort to make any minor adjustment while at highway speeds

Steering becomes sticky at times and requires extra effort to keep the vehicle in place. Also, a cracking noise appears at times when turning the steering wheel.

Sticky steering between 30- 70 miles per hours.When holding steering wheel straight while driving it sticks in that position.You have to turn steering wheel to get back to normal steering. You don’t feel in total control of vehicle.

Steering at high speeds snaps or almost feels sticky. This probably has to do with lane keep assist. Even when the feature is turned off, the steering still snaps when slightly turning the steering wheel. Definitely an issue that many, many owners complain about. Probably needs a software update to correct the issue.

I have been noticing that at speeds above 45 miles per hour the steering wheel feels as if it’s sticking. I would say is that it’s sticky/jumpy and not allowing for a smooth transition. Because of that I notice that when driving straight especially it can cause me to almost tip out of lane because you canot make a small turn since it sticks from one point to the next which is usually much further than your intended turn radius. It was seemingly more noticeable after increased distance of driving and my first truly concerned was on a 90 mile trip down the garden state parkway. I thought it was the road until I read I read about this sticky steering being under investigation.

I took my 2023 Honda CRV Exl to the dealership last month because of steering problems. Steering seems to work against me as if it "catches", for lack of a better word. It is as if there is a gear and it has jerky movements, not smooth. This is my 4th CRV and I have never experienced anything like this. I took it to the dealership, they drove it 3 miles and said they couldnt duplicate the problem and sent me on my way. Since then it has gotten worse. It steering seems to lag behind my movements and it clicks at times. Its unsettling and i refuse to drive on the interstate to work anymore. I have had this car for 9 months and this should not be happening. It is not the driver assist, i disconnected it and its still happening. There is something wrong with the steering in this car. I am constantly working hard just to keep the car in lane. My only choice is to take it back again and ask them to drive more than 2 miles, if they would do that, i am sure they would experience what i am describing.

Steering becomes more difficult during a curve and small vibration on straight aways.

The steering sticks and causes an increase in steering effort. Prominent in highway driving and makes it hard to make subtle movements/corrections. Once the issue started, steering wheel play is also not smooth. Took my car to nearest dealer and service manager reproduced the issue. Still waiting to hear back from Honda on resolution.

Hi my car keep turning side to side with a play oh the steering wheel and haves a bad clip noise when turning right and left

Purchased vehicle June 15, 2023. On June 22, 2023, July 13, 2023, and July 29, 2023, the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes with a warning of BRAKE on the dashboard. This happened so suddenly that it nearly caused rear end collision from traffic behind. This was while driving at normal speeds on 2 lane road with double yellow line and traffic coming in opposite direction. But with no reason for the automatic braking. On November 20, 2023, this happened again under same conditions but with no other traffic on the road. After first incident returned to dealer and service advisor did something on the dashboard display and said he reduced the sensitivity of the system. Returned to dealer last Friday November 24 and left it there until Monday November 27. They could not reproduce the issue and so recommended turning off the system which they did. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Starting at around 10,000 miles i started feeling something in the steering when driving. It was a very light feeling of the steering sticking. Over the next few weeks the feeling seemed to increase at times, other times it would still be very light. I am currently trying to find the right time to get it into the dealers for a check up.

The steering wheel feels sticky at some points while driving.

Steering wheel feels like it “sticks” or is stiff. Brought to dealership and they drove it and compared to an identical vehicle on lot and confirmed that they felt the steering wheel was stiff. They contacted the tech line but were told there have been no issues so sent me home. They had taken a video of the technician stating the wheel was stiff when driving.

Recently noticed while driving the steering wheel would stick. My lane assist is turned off. No warning lights. This is new for my vehicle, and I thought it was just me. My husband drove my car and said he could feel it too. I have not contacted the dealership yet. Since it is related to steering, it could be dangerous. The steering wheel does not jerk, but it sticks and almost causes you to oversteer.

Steering feels “sticky” while driving (generally at highway speed) and requires a slight amount of extra resistance to turn the steering wheel from the straight position. Brought to a Honda dealer for inspection. They said that there was a setting that they adjusted, but no change in the condition has been observed since the dealer inspection.

While driving over 40mph and especially while driving on the highway, the steering may feel sticky and requires more effort than normal to make small adjustments to the steering while trying to maintain the lane.

The wiper fluid is delayed, making the fluid not make it on windshield and all go to the side window. It works when stopped but when driving the fluid goes to the side od windshield and the driver side gets zero fluid and the passanger side gets dry and streaky. Very poor design. Reddit group concerns as well

The driver’s side mirror vibrates a lot( it’s so hard to see anything, especially on the freeway “it gets blurry”). The dealership changed the mirror glass for me and the issue still there. I went back again and complained, and they ordered the whole mirror assembly for me (i waited 6 months)—the replaced it for me, and STILL the mirror vibrates. I would love to hear back from you guys because it’s so unpredictable! Thanks

The steering wheel is lightly locking-up instead of returning to center position as it should be. The issue happens occasionally and the steering wheel can be returned to the center by putting some force to it.

Sticky Steering, steering wheel seems to get locked into place at low speeds and highway speeds requiring more force to get it "unstuck" which may cause the vehicle to jerk out of the lane or off the road.

While driving back from holiday dinner with family I noticed I was having to correct the driving significantly more than usual. When I would correct left or right the steering wheel would visually jerk. While taking an exit ramp I had to correct the steering and actually got some body roll. For a moment I was worried we were going to roll over. I took the car out the next day and the steering wheel is sticking while driving. Imagine of you were driving in the middle lane of a three-lane highway. If you were to steer into a right turn the car will continue to make the right turn without assistance from the driver. In fact it will often continue to steer in to the right lane instead of straightening out to enter the left lane like normal.

Around 6600 miles I started noticing the steering sticking and require more than normal force to move the wheel. At first this was noticable about 80% of the time when driving at highway speeds (~65mph). When you are going straight and have to make a slight adjustment to stay in the lane the wheel would "stick" or "lock" and require more force to get past the sticky point. This causes a small jerk when the wheel is released. After getting past that point the wheel felt normal. Over the past couple of months around (8000 miles) I started noticing it at slower speeds while in traffic (~45mph). No driving assistance features were turned on and there have been no warning lights. I have an appointment with my Honda dealership this week to have a look at it is happening more frequently. Not only does this make for a terrible driving experience, but the force required to unstick the wheel could cause the car to over adjust if not careful. Before posting here I have read multiple accounts of this same issue with the 2023 CRV Hybrid with some explaining that the dealer had to replace the steering gearbox and EPS motor assembly because the steering gearbox was found to have an internal malfunction.

Back glass exploded. Vehicle was not running at the time of the incident. Went to load toddler into the car, the glass fell into the trunk as I shut the rear passenger door.

Steering jerks at random, doing so more frequently during highway driving/higher speeds. This began when my vehicle hit ~10K miles and feels like it is progressively getting worse, requiring me to forcibly jerk the wheel back in order to stay within my driving lane. I did bring the vehicle to the dealer it was purchased at and they drove it 5 miles and said they could not duplicate the issue. I brought it to another Honda dealer who told me they would charge me to look into it, despite it being a safety issue in a new vehicle that is under warranty.

The steering wheel when driving gets difficult to turn, then abruptly gets easy to turn as if it is getting caught, or sticking. For example when driving straight, the wheel will not turn until you apply well over the normal force to turn the wheel. After applying this medium to heavy force to turn, the wheel ‘un-sticks’ and jerks abruptly, going back to normal force to turn. This unsettles the car and shifts the weight of the vehicle. This is dangerous especially in wet or icy conditions where these shifts are more likely to cause a loss of control. I am worried that this could get worse as the symptoms suddenly arose. This behavior is constantly noticeable while driving on the highway. It’s embarrassing to drive and other drivers or police officers may interpret the jerky driving as being under the influence. After bringing the car to a dealer, they confirmed the behavior on my vehicle as well as their test drive vehicle. There are no warning lights, and I first noticed the issue after 5-10k miles as it’s first owner.

Steer wheel is making clicking sounds when turning the steer wheel. The steer wheel doesn’t feel proper, feels loose

The steering is sticky. It feels like it’s rubbing. At Highway speed for like 10 miles it gets worse.

On or about October 18, 2023, while backing out of driveway, I heard a warning beep and a meesage popped up on the instument panel- Lane Keeping assist System malfunction, see your dealer. about that same time, my steering began to get a "sticky" feeling to it, as if the steering was hesitant to respond to slight movement of the steering wheel. This occurs after the vehicle has been on the road for 10 to 15 minutes. It will also stick whenever the vehicle is stopped for more than a few seconds (i.e, at a traffic light or stop sign). While driving on a highway in a straight line, the steering is also hesitant, as if momentarily "stuck". This will cause a "jerk" in the steering wheel. The problem has been persistent for a month now,and prio to this, the steering was very smooth and consistent for the first 9 months of operation. I bought this vehicle brand new from the dealer. I took it to the dealer I purchased it from, and they claimed they could not duplicate the problem. As soon as I departed the dealership, the problem was still there.

Sticky steering when making small adjustments

I was braking pulling forward into a parking place, going approximately 10 mph. The brakes did not work , the car accelerated jumped a curb ran over a parking sign and did not stop. I attempted to turn to the left on the island so as not to go into the busy street. I scraped/ran into a small tree while trying to put the car in park. I heard a large bang, 3 airbags deployed. I do not know if I ran over something, nothing was in my sight or view. Due to all of the smoke I quickly turned off the car and tried to get out. My left underside forearm had a 5”x3 1/2” bruise with swelling at the largest area and pain. The swelling is approximately 2 1/2” x2 1/2”. The mid to right side of my chest was injured extending to my right side with pain and bruising on and under my right breast. I went by ambulance to an ER. I am alarmed and traumatized. I have been experiencing lightheadedness since the accident. I have had headaches. The car took off as I was attempting to stop. I had NO control of the vehicle and could not bring it to a stop. There were no warning messages etc. If people were near or in front of me it would have been catastrophic, I had no control. There is a police report. My car is to be examined by the insurance company. My understanding is that it will be considered “totaled “. I reported the accident to Honda who I lease from. I was told that it could be “a software problem “. When the car malfunctioned I had just left my home , driving for the first time that day. My first stop was driving a couple of blocks to vote. I do not know how to upload pictures or the accident report. I have pictures of the car from the tow lot. After returning from the hospital I took pictures of the site to include the downed sign, damaged tree and broken car pieces in the driveway. I retrieved 2 large pieces of the car from the driveway.

I was driving in the left lane of a two lane street. Due to construction, the right hand lane had orange construction barrels. All of a sudden, alarms went off, in RED LETTERS the word BRAKE! appeared on my dashboard and the car automatically braked - hard. There was no obstruction of any kind in my lane. All the items on my seats flew to the floor. The seat belt wrenched me back. I now have a mild sore shoulder, neck and back. If someone had been following me, they certainly would have hit me due to the sudden, unexplained stop. The incident was very shocking and scary, since there was no obstruction of any kind in my lane, it took me totally by surprise. As I travelled, I was in no danger. The only danger would be if I suddenly stopped, which my car automatically did! I will be sure to turn this "safety" feature off in the future. This was a failure of the automatic Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The system was activated when no danger was present. I did not contact a mechanic or the manufacturer, as I question whether my complaint would be taken seriously.

The steering wheel seems to get stuck. When you are driving high speeds. Driving down highway. It gets stuck in a groove. You are constantly correcting . You're constantly fighting with the steering wheel

This issue happened immediately after buying the car. When I turn the steering wheel it makes a clicking sound. I brought it into Honda and they replaced a belt but the issue starting again within the hour. When I brought it back in I was told that they were able to find one video in the Honda service center with this issue. It turns out this happened with 2020-2024 Honda Civics which were recalled. I've contacted Honda 15 times with no reply. I have a complaint number, Fedexed and emailed leaders, emailed where I bought the car, etc.

Sticky steering wheel

The dashboard (=all the gauges behind the wheel) turned off while I was traveling in highway. While I was looking a safe place to park, in about 10-15 seconds, dash come back on again and started showing all possible warnings. After parking on the shoulder, the car put itself in so called limp mode. The dealership took a look at it and stated that the components had been disconnected with the dashboard and they have to reset the ECU. They don't know what caused this issue yet claim it's ok to drive.This could have ended up with a serious accident

Steering wheel of the car is faulty. Steering wheel sticks to the center, when it is left in the center position for some 5-10 seconds driving on a lane. That stickiness makes it jerky and requires an extra effort to turn it left or right which makes it over steer and poses the risk of oversteering and running into the car in the next lane. Had multiple visits to the dealership, they acknowledge the problem and initially they mentioned this is happening in another 2023 CRV model too, so it's a "characteristic" of the vehicle, after multiple visits they said they will replace the steering gear box which should fix this. Even after the steering gear box replacement the problem exist as it is. I am worried about this being a major safety issue.

Steering becomes sticky while driving at any speed. The steering wheel freezes or locks making it harder to control. Added pressure to turn the wheel can cause the steering to unstick and jerk the vehicle suddenly. Th sticking does not occur immediately after the car has been parked for a long period of time (overnight) and only happens once the vehicle has warmed and has been driven for around 10-15 minutes after starting. In addition to the sticking, there is a noticeable clicking sound coming from the wheels when turning at low speeds. Currently awaiting feedback from dealership.

My car has a little over 6k miles. Since September 2023, I have noticed that my steering wheel no longer moves smoothly. There are choppy movements of the wheel, almost glitchy feeling and jerky. Slight movement of the wheel will oversteer the car. The wheel also moves choppy when trying to keep the wheel from moving when stopped and not driving. Feel like I am trying so hard to keep the car moving straight. It occurs when lane keep assist is turned off as well.

The steering wheel is choppy at times and sticks. Small steering corrections feel like they are incremental. According to the Honda dealership, they were unable to replicate the problem, but it occurs every time I drive. I understand many other 2023 Honda CR-V owners are having similar issues. Please….include this CRV model along with the ‘22-‘23 Civic investigation.

steering is sticky not smooth when making left or right turns on highway and side roads

Steering feels "sticky, jerky", like it takes extra effort to turn, and seems to jerk while driving without me moving it. Worse at speeds above 40 mph. Turned off lane keep assist, and nothing changed. The EPS rack seems to be the issue, according to other owners with the same problem.

"Stickey" steering. Produces momentary increases in steering effort while driving the vehicle. Happens at different speeds, especially on highways after driving for a certain amount of time. My vehicle currently has aprox. 12,000. This issue was noticed after 10K

Sticky steering. The symptom is most noticeable going 40+ mph but is also felt while stationary. When the wheel is at 360 deg, it requires more force to turn it left/right +/- 5 degrees. In one instance while on an off-ramp, had to apply force to the steering wheel which resulted in oversteer and required correction.

At highways speeds, steering becomes noticeably "sticky". Instead of remaining smooth, as you turn the wheel it poses some resistance, requiring a stronger nudge. This is worrisome as it causes you to inadvertently steer more than intended. The issue is present in slow speeds too, but not as perceptible because it seems to happen when the steering wheel is at rest. Since city driving requires frequent adjustments to steering direction, one has to pay more attention in order to notice instances where the wheel "sticks".

The vehicle has now began to have sticky steering with only 13,000 miles. You can feel the steering wheel fight against a you at really low speeds. It is worse on highway speeds and almost impossible to maintain your lane due to over correction on the steering wheel locking. The vehicle now does not feel safe to operate. I began to think it was wind on the highway or the lane assist working against me. These do not seem to be the issue. The issue comes from a faulty steering system.

We have a 2023 CRV with 5400 miles. I started noticing the problem at about 3500. Originally I only noticed it while traveling at highway speed on a relatively straight section of road. Now I feel it almost all of the time. It's like a little resistance hurdle you have to jump over to get the steering wheel to turn. Once over the hurdle, it steers normally. It can even happen at slower speeds in the middle of a long turn like a freeway entry or exit ramp. When the wheel is held in a given position for a second it takes some extra effort to get it out of that position. Yesterday I was driving in heavy rain in heavy traffic on the freeway. This extra effort required was almost making me oversteer into the car next to me. I'm [XXX] and in pretty good physical shape. I pity the poor 80 year old lady this happens to. There will be a crash and everyone will assume it was the driver's fault. I have taken it to one Honda dealer and they drove it and felt the issue. They checked their database and found nothing. I'm taking it to another dealer tomorrow and will be very insistent that they dig into the issue and replace whatever needs replacing. -Steering. Yes, available for inspection. -Sticky steering causing me to oversteer. This could be dangerous in heavy traffic at high speed. -One Honda dealer drove it and could feel the problem. I am taking it to another (closer) dealer tomorrow. -It has not been inspected yet. I guarantee you this is a problem that needs to be corrected. I have seen many posts of other owners with the same issue. -No warnings. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The steering seems to stick when making minor corrections. Is annoying but could be dangerous at highway speeds or in slippery conditions.

Starting when the car had approximately 2,500 miles, the steering would become sticky or notchy. Steering would start off smoothly, then suddenly become sticky after driving a few miles. I need to apply excess pressure to the steering wheel, which doesn't allow me to keep the car placed in the lane where I want it to be. I can't steer smoothly and the car has more movement then I want it to have. I brought it to the dealer and they kept the car for 4 days and had several people test drive it. When they returned it to me, they agreed something wasn't right, but since they could not pinpoint the problem, they couldn't make a repair. They told me to bring it back if it happens again. It started to happen again when I drove it home from the dealer.

2023 Honda CR-V purchased in Dec 2022. Has about 5000 miles. The steering started to feel like it was sticking. I thought it might be related to one of the safety systems, so I turned off Lane Departure and Lane Keep Assist. The sticking stopped for about a week but then returned. It is really noticeable on the highway at high speeds and makes it very hard to drive straight. This seems to be getting worse on non-highway driving.

The Honda Cr-V steering feels like it sticks for a couple seconds and then resumes control. Lane assist is not one. The problem is getting worse. At first I thought it was just uneven pavement, but now it's noticeable on smooth pavement, especially at higher speeds. Maintaining straight driving feels jerky.

Sticky steering making it difficult to keep the car going straight as the steering adjustments can't be gradual. This occurs in straight lines, gradual turns and around tight corners. Issue starts around 30 mph and gradually gets worse as speed increases. As of now, this is resulting in the dealer replacing the rack and pinion assembly.

With the lane assist TURNED OFF, the steering wheel is jerked one direction or another. It makes a constant working of the wheel for steering, particularly at highway speeds. You feel like you are constantly fighting the car’s steering. It is a jerk every few seconds that you have to fight to correct. 4031 miles on the new car purchased in May 2023. Definitely feels dangerous.

Hood shakes like crazy at sppeds over 60 MPH, brought to dealer and they said it was "Normal" and there is nothing they can do. it is shaking badly and I worry it will pop up and cause an accident. Not pleased with this at all. Second thing is it has developed a loud wind noise on passengers side "a" pillar near the windshield it seems. Going in to the dealer for them to look at that next week, as was not present when new, and we have now about 12,000 miles on it and it is about 10 months old. Other issue is the drivers side mirror shakes and vibrates lots at highway speeds making it difficult to use day or night, it is terrible. So far, not a happy customer. Lastly, the horn is really not loud enough, and also complained to dealer about that and they said "they are all like that" nothing they can do..

The car has a very sticky feeling when steering. The car is very hard to steer at higher speeds and makes it very hard to maneuver in case of emergency The steering locks and gets super hard to turn at speeds greater than 20 mph.

The reverse camera works poorly and is not clearly especially if it’s wet outside. Water smears on the camera more easily than other cars I have owned even if it’s not actively raining. My 2013 g37 and 2017 Mercedes glc300 never had visibility issues for the camera and the Infiniti is 11 years older. Honda states it’s normal. I think it’s a bad design that allows camera lens to hold water on it. It’s a potential danger when reversing during rain or if car is wet.

This is the second occurrence of a similar problem. First problem occurred on Sept 14, 2023 and service slip is attached. While driving the car lost power but I was able to regain power but I got adaptive cruise control system problem, collision mitigation braking system problem, smart entry system problem -see dealer warnings. Pulled into a parking lot but when I shut car off got accessory mode on screen. Navigation system remained active and could not restart car or lock car doors. Called service and they jump started the car and I drove car to dealer. Dealer said car had water in fuse box. I did not drive thru any water and car was not in any flood area. I asked if this could be a problem with the electric transmission as I had seen info on the internet about this. No one seems to know the new recall I was talking about. Car is currently at dealer waiting for parts.

As I was driving down the street at 45mph, with no one anywhere close in front of me, the warning brake noise and lights came on and the car quickly braked and brought the car to a stop. Thankfully the person behind me was not following too close, but it sure shook me up!

While driving on a clear day on a relatively flat straight road the CMBS activated and applied the brakes abruptly. There we no objects in the road when the brake light appeared and the car abruptly applied the brakes. There were no apparent conditions that would warrant this action. This issue has only occurred once and the dealer has not yet inspected the car since this incident.

I am really going through a very rough patch after buying the Honda CRV in May end 2023 EX-L model , 23/HONDA/CR-V/ AWD EX-L : Warnings Concerns / VIN: [XXX] . Following up from the 3 -month , I purchased the vehicle , but no respite from Honda Dealer & Honda Company, even filed the case with American Honda : Case # [XXX] but they are not providing any solution and referring to Honda dealer and Honda dealer referring to Honda company and I m missed as no body is taking the responsibility. I am seeing an unwanted warning, when I unpark my car, and there is no resolution at the Honda dealer and Honda company itself. warnings which abruptly came when my new Honda CRV got unparked . Details as below "LKAS: lane keeping assist system problem. See your dealer.". "road departure mitigation system problem. See your dealer.", Please help me to reolve this issue, If we paid out what is the intended price, but we are not getting the benefits/comfort what is expected and causing us the multiple trips to Honda showroom and mental agony giving me sleepless nights, if I spend too much for a new vehicle, still getting these kind of discomfort and uneasiness. It seems that customers should be compensated for all these unnecessary troubles and unwanted warnings giving an illusion which makes the driver unformatable which can lead to accidents.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while parked, the contact noticed an oil leak. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the oil pan needed to be replaced. The oil pan was replaced. The failure reoccurred and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they replaced the oil pan again along with the crank case. The failure recurred and the remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 3,950.

I was pulling into a parking space at my work parking lot, where I have been parking my car for the past 2.5 years. I was slowly parking the CRV, my foot was not applying any pressure on the gas, I was slowly easing into the parking space and as I was putting my foot on the brake to stop, it was very hard as if it was locked and the car kept going. I couldn't stop the SUV and it jumped the curb/went over the plants and crashed into a building/shattering glasses , frames, furniture and appliances as it hit the wall beam and stopped. to The Honda emergency brake system did not activate to stop the vehicle. I had no control of the vehicle as I frantically tried to brake- it was locked. I have reported a claim to State Farm insurance company and to Honda Claims. The Auburn, CA police came to the scene and completed a report. Honda just took the facts of loss and did not conduct any investigation. My insurance company has yet to inspect the vehicle or transfer the vehicle to a Honda dealership to rule out manufacturer defect.It is sitting at their preferred shop Caliber Collision of Rocklin, for the damage to be assessed.

On August 15, 2023, the rear windshield on my 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring spontaneously shattered while parked in the garage. The shattered glass was primarily contained within the rear storage area, but also on the garage floor. After consulting with the dealer, I drove it to the dealership (Apple Tree Honda in Fletcher, NC) where it was examined by the service manager. There were no symptoms of failure prior to the spontaneous shattering. Resolution pending at this date.

Driver side headlight stopped working, including low beam, high beam, turn signal. Dealer replaced whole headlight assembly under warrenty.

Vehicle had sudden clunking noise near right front tire when being driven. Vehicle had TPMS light on. Vehicle has never been in a car accident, never has hit a bump at a high speed, and has never been crashed into anything. I was alarmed and scared of the sudden loud clunking noise. I took it immediately to the Norm Reeves Honda Center to get vehicle inspected. As I drove it to the Honda Center I drove slow and with precaution in fear of the car malfunctioning on the road. The vehicle was inspected by service department and confirmed that there was an faulty issue and the vehicle must stayed from 8/12/2023 to 8/14/2023 for repairs. I received a call from Honda Center and they informed me that the vehicle had the following issue. “Right front sway link nut loose during inspection & found tire pressure was uneven”. Inspector reported that the loose nut issue came from factory and that it was indeed a faulty sway link. Honda Center did the following to repair the issue, “Retighten nut & reset tire pressure to factory specs” I now have picked up vehicle from Honda Center and the TPMS light reappeared once again. I still feel uneasy driving the vehicle. I feel uneasy knowing that my vehicle had a faulty sway link and could have potentially caused me to loose control of the steering wheel, flip/roll over and killed/injured me and/or others in a car accident. I am fearful that the nut from the sway link can loosen up again and put me at risk of danger once again.

Date of Accident: Wednesday, August 8th 2023 Time of Accident: 12:33PM Location of Accident: Intersection of 22nd St & Camelback Rd (in front of my office) in Phoenix, Arizona Phoenix Police Responding Officer: [XXX] #[XXX] Incident/Accident Report #: [XXX] Geico Claim Number: [XXX] Assigned Adjuster from Geico: [XXX] [XXX] I was t-boned and injured by a red light runner driving recklessly on Camelback Road headed east. He hit me in the intersection. My airbags did not deploy, his did. I am a very cautious/mindful driver. I was always scared of this, as our state is the worst for red light runners. I was diagnosed with a concussion and cervical sprain. I have severe pain on the right side of my neck. I was in shock and felt immediate burning/pinching sensation. After the accident I was woozy, had vertigo, nauseous, have had a migraine since the crash and severe anxiety/panic and barely any sleep and no appetite. The crash and what happened after keeps replaying in my head. I'm having nightmares of being hit and my airbags not going off and my neck snapping and paralyzing me. Due to my concussion, I am still having some cognitive issues with speech, sensitivity to light, short-term memory, and emotional regulation. My anxiety has been skyrocketing. Mr. [XXX] and I both have Geico automobile policies. Geico found Mr. [XXX] 100% at fault during their investigation. I also wanted to include that a witness (man) was trying to break into my car, hitting my window after I was hit, while I was sitting and crying in the middle of the intersection with my seat belt still on. Him and a friend were screaming at me to move, and cussing me out. The 911 operator asked what was going on and told me not to move and let the fire department come. It was so scary. I am severely traumatized. The nightmares won't stop, I am starting therapy this week to address. Please help me.

The hood appears to flex when you reach speeds greater than 40mph. Took it to honda and it appears that the weld joints already broke loose. So were the outside hood is welded to the internal frame of the hood, it has come loose at all 15+ joints and is now rusted. Honda is working with me to determine next steps but I have read online that this appears to be a larger issue. Many users are experiencing this problem

The driver's side mirror has a distorted image. The mirror also vibrates at high speeds. The vibration appears to be in the mirror glass, rather than the mirror housing. The distorted image and the vibration makes it very disorienting, distracting, and dangerous to drive the vehicle. Passenger side mirror appears to not be impacted. Many other people report the same issue online: https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/possible-recall-vibrating-driver-side-mirror.234801/

December 2022 two weeks after I leased the vehicle from Roush Honda, due to severe cold weather the driver side mirror cracked and I immediately reported to the dealer with photos via email communication. For 4 months I drove the car unsafely unable to use the driver side mirror, this caused anxiety, stress and dangerous especially merging on the free way and change left late. 4 months after, in April 2023 The dealer replaced the mirror to make the situation worse, and I reported immediately to the dealer. I have also communicated to the dealer management about this safety and endangerment via emails. Since April 2023 to present, while driving, the driver side mirror constantly vibrates, changes positions by itself, it is not adjustable electronically, and it is unstable. My wife and I operated and operate the vehicle over 7 months (December 2022 to present) without the ability to use driver side mirror, which caused and causes stress, anxiety and safely concerns especially merging on the free away and changing left lane. On multiple incidents almost got into terrible fetal accidents with semitrucks on the freeway caused by this unstable and un-adjustable driver side mirror. It is been unsafe over 7 months, endangering myself and my family (wife and 2 kids). Not even once, the dealer offered me rental car while they are trying to fix this dangerous issue. Please do investigate the documentations the proof is there. I am reporting this so no one or family has to go through this endangerment. The pain and suffering from this unsafe driving situation are heavy and continuous. Thanks for your help.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the horn failed to operate as needed.

Brand new Honda CR-V 20223. 2 safety issues were observed: vibrating hood and vibrating driver side rear mirror. Both were confirmed by Honda representative on 5/18/2023. I have recorded footage of hood vibration. [1] For hood, when driving at highway speed (60+mph), hood visibly vibrated and vibration increased at higher speed. Dealership adjusted spacers and also found out the adhesives between the hood plate and the hood frame were not sufficient. It could have popped open during highway most likely lead to immediate fatal crash. [2] For mirror, when driving at highway speed (60+mph), driver-side rear mirror visibly vibrates and vibration increases at higher speed. Passenger-side rear mirror is perfectly fine. Dealership and Honda replaced the complete rear mirror once. The issue remains the same. Vibration over time will pop the mirror off, losing visibility impairing safety driving. Honda as of the time of this complaint 7/21/2023 stated verbally and repeatedly to me (and they recorded the phone call) that they will NOT replace or DO ANYTHING about this vibrating mirror, and that I as the consumer who paid for a brand new car will just have to accept and live with it. Honda basically on the record states that they refuse to do anything about this vibrating mirror. Both issues have been reported by others to my knowledge. Yet Honda refuses to take accountability to do the right thing.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the contact slowly entered a parking space; however, as she removed her foot from the accelerator pedal to depress the brake pedal, the vehicle lunged forward. The contact stated that she abruptly depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. As a result, the front of the vehicle front swiped two parking post. The contact stated that there was no damage to the vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact was then advised by the independent mechanic to contact the NHTSA Hotline. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

I was driving on a rainy day about 10 am. I was driving about 35 mph when the car suddenly braked for several seconds for no apparent reason. Then everything went back to normal driving. This could of caused an accident had somone been driving close behind me.

On 7/12/23 passenger side front door would not close after multiple attempts. I unlocked the doors from the driver side to allow my son in. He tried closing the door multiple times once he got in. I ensured nothing was blocking the door, and it still wouldn’t close. I pulled on the inside handle and tried closing it again. This time it did and I haven’t been able to replicate it again. I plan on having it inspected by the dealership

Check engine warnings 2 times with less than 4300 miles on the car. First one, called a dealer and was told a recall due to wrong software loaded into the car. Back to the shop today for the same warning. Waiting for results. Since the first warning, maybe 20% of the time, very rough engine start when the gas motor engages. Dealer said was fine the first time.

My car's emergency brake failed to work and my car's rear slid downhill into a 90 degree angle. The front passenger bumper of my car hit the front driver bumper of the car parked behind me. This happened while I was parallel parking in front of my home, which is on right side of a street with an uphill incline. I turned my car's front wheels away from the curb, which is why my car's rear spun into a 90 degree angle. There is a small driveway between my car and the car behind me, which is why my car had the space to spin and slide into 90 degree angle in the middle of the street. I could have sworn my car was shifted to park, but it's possible that I was shifted to reverse or neutral. I almost 100% sure that I initiated my emergency parking break and that it failed to turn on. I had started to exit the driver side door and my legs were outside of the car already when I noticed the car to slide backwards. I panicked and I tried to get back into the car, but I couldn't. My legs were dragged across the street. I have some minor injuries such as bumps, cuts and bruises. My car stopped from sliding when it hit the car behind me. I could have been seriously injured. There should have been some "fail safe" to prevent me from exiting the car when it's possible it could start to move. I'm considering selling my car because of this issue.

Blindspot indicators are blinking on and off and they do no longer make a noise when there is a car near your blind spot

At approximately 9:30pm CST Saturday June 17th my 2023 Honda CRV Sport Touring has a rapid loss of power while travelling on the I-55 expressway in Illinois before the Weber Rd exit. Received critical engine failure error message and transmission failure error message. Final error was emission system error. Engine block was shaking severely - car could not move. Car towed to dealership where purchased, Valley Honda in Aurora IL. Has been with their service since then. They said piston was misfiring. They were talking about breaking down the engine but moved in a different engine. May need fuel injectors replaced - but shortage of those. Waiting for update, next step may be for me to meet with sales (hopefully for refund or buyback). Please contact me if you need additional information.

Driver's side mirror glass vibrates at highway speeds since purchase of the vehicle. Impedes visibility and could cause dizziness. Multiple complaints relating to this issue already submitted on NHTSA.

The hood on my 2023 Honda CRV moves up and down when traveling over the speed of 60 mph. I called my Honda dealership several times and have been told each time not to bring it in because it would be a waste of my time, and this is normal on this model to have a vibrating hood, due to design and use of light weighted metals. They went on to say, there is nothing Honda will do for this. It reminds me of seeing a sewing machine needle move up and down. Not only is it distraction, but I am concerned that one day the hood might pop open while driving, therefore creating multiple hazards.

Driver’s side mirror vibrates when the car is going at highway speeds. The passenger side mirror is unaffected. The vibration makes the mirror difficult to use at higher speeds.

Vehicle began hard braking using the collision avoidance system when there were no other vehicles or obstacles on the road. Then the vehicle safety systems (adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation braking system and road departure mitigation system and brake system) all began displaying warning messages. The car only has 1600 miles. The dealer inspected and states that the safety systems are not functioning because the camera failed. A replacement part will not be available for six weeks and the dealer indicated the vehicle was safe to drive with the error messages, but that in an accident none of the safety features would function. The dealer is unable to provide a reason for the failure, but suggested it could be due to heat. The dealer indicated there was the same vehicle type that experienced the same failure a few days earlier.

Within two hours of picking new CRV up, Auto Stop Idle Problem - see your Dealer" message popped up. Two weeks later, 12 error messages popped up on dash. Took vehicle in 5 times for repairs after error messages popped up after each repair. Front grill, battery sensor, battery and entire harness were replaced. I don't feel confident I can trust the safety of this vehicle. In addition, this vehicle does not have blind spot warning.

A new 2023 CRV Honda than in less than two months it’s sunroof shattered while I was driving in the freeway. It was a very scary and dangerous situation because it sounded like an explosion and several pieces of glass hit my face, my passenger and my little dog. No object hit the sunroof. I took my new vehicle to the Honda dealer to replace the glass. Honda denied my claim. It’s infuriating that Honda states that sunroofs are not part of the warranty because this glass comes from another manufacturer. I ended up paying for a defective glass and I feel that it might happen again and Honda is not doing anything to take care of this defective sunroof glass!! Very frustrated!

After 6 months and 12000 miles of ownership I’m starting to notice dents forming along the Left side and right side of the roof rail from the front to the back of the vehicle. This issue verified be a dealership as a manufacturing issue. I was quoted a price for repairs which would be added to my car fax. There might be an issue with frame or metal used for this vehicle

The Honda 2023 CRV Hybrid Sport experiences significant hood flexing / movement at high speeds, giving the indicator that the hood may suddenly open while driving (should the latch break). This happens ALWAYS at speeds of 60mph+ or during high wind circumstances and the movement gets far worse the higher in speed or the higher the wind conditions. The hood is confirmed closed each time before it starts and this happens with consistency. I have made an appointment to speak with the dealer about this on this upcoming Friday, but I have read online of many other individuals experiencing this issue and wanted to report it to ensure others are not impacted dangerously by this issue. No warning messages, symptoms, or lights appear. The issue has been confirmed.

I bought a brand new 2023 CRV Hybrid Sport and am having issues with the steering. When at speeds greater than 20 mph , the steering becomes stiff and hard to maneuver. It makes it impossible to swerve out of the way of a dangerous life threatening situation in front of a driver Significant force and two hand driving is needed to steer left and right at higher speeds The vehicle is brand new, only 44 miles on it so far

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, several warning lights would flash on the instrument panel as the speedometer would fail to operate. The contact stated that the speedometer would read 0 MPH while the vehicle was in motion. The contact notified the dealer after the failure and had the vehicle towed to their location. The contact was informed that the soft set connection wires were loose and needed repair. The vehicle was repaired and the vehicle was returned to the contact; however, the failure returned a few days later upon start of the vehicle. The vehicle was then towed to Burns Honda(325 NJ-73, Marlton, NJ 08053) where a diagnostic determined a defect with the dash harness. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 1,188.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the driver's side mirror started to vibrate, making the rear-view image blurry. The contact stated that the passenger’s side mirror was not shaking and provided a steady image while driving. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic to have the vehicle diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V174000 (Visibility). The failure mileage was approximately 20.

I was pulling up to the Subway sandwich shop to pick up my lunch. I was approaching from their back ally (coming from Walgreens next door) so I could not have been going faster than a few miles per hour. As I approached the parking space the car started speeding up so I turned right to keep from going through the building and drove in circles to keep from hitting the buildings. I could not go onto the street because traffic was heavy. I kept pumping the brakes and the car did not stop until I hit a parked car and pushed that car into another car. All airbags deployed. My 16 year old grandson and I were injured, but no individuals were in the parked cars.

I was pulling into a parking place and the had a sudden unintended acceleration. I was not applying pressure to the gas pedal and was easing into the parking spot. When I applied pressure to the brakes, they were extremely hard to push like they were locked up. The car jumped the concrete barrier, took out a pole fence and jumped a sidewalk the fence stopped it short of hitting thee building.

Seat back collapsed backwards on to the back seat after rear impact accident. Driver slid out under the fastened seatbelt and landed in center of backseat with both feet tangled in the seatbelt.

The Automatic Emergency Braking abruptly stopped while traveling 50 mph without any obstructions in front of me almost causing a rear end collision from the car behind me. In addition the stop caused minor whiplash.

On highway this Honda CR-V was hit by another vehicle 2013 doge at right rear side. Other car was sliding on the road , crossing the lanes and hitting the CR-V. Side airbags were deployed immediately during primary collision. CR-V didn’t stop after that. It turned left from right most lane and hit the median heavily. Lane keeping assistance, frontal collision system, automatic emergency braking did not work properly. It hit the median and all front airbags were deployed. Honda should improve the safety features when it was hit by other car in rear, Honda CR-V should not twist and turn left & make secondary collision.

On 2/11/23, after having my car less than a month and having fewer than 1000 miles on it, I got a critical warning light that told me to stop driving as soon as possible because my 12 volt battery wasn’t charging and my vehicle was not safe to drive. My car had to be towed to the dealership and the power control unit needs to be replaced. I had no clues that I was going to get this warning so it came as a total shock to me that my car was no longer drivable. Luckily I was in a location where I was able to stop driving very quickly and was not on the highway. I was told this part is like the alternator on a non-hybrid car, so like it’s brain. Had I been in a place where it wasn’t safe to pull over, my car could have stopped abruptly causing a major accident. The vehicle has been inspected at the dealership and a part has been ordered. The earliest it may arrive is 3/14/23. This means my car will be at the dealership for more than 30 days. I thought this would qualify my car as a lemon under the lemon law but the dealer is telling me this is not the case because they have ordered the part and it is back ordered.

System does not alert until a vehicle is directly behind our vehicle or does not alert at all. Vehicle was purchased 3 days ago. The front assist does not work or will work after you pull too far forward and already tapped the curb. We stood in front of and side of vehicle and alarm did not sound at all.

The back two bolts in the driver seat were never installed at the factory, thus the back of the seat is not attached to the car. The dealership did not notice on the PDI. I drive it for a month before I noticed it.
