STEERING
Steering wheel “sticks” -there is resistance in the steering and then it may release suddenly which may cause a jerking of the wheel to over correct. The car was purchased new and did not experience this problem initially, but it seems to have developed over time. The ‘sticking’ of the steering is really noticeable at higher speeds such as highway driving. This is a safety concern as it makes it more difficult to steer and potentially cause an accident. There are no warning lights on or any other indication of a problem on the dash. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or manufacturer yet, but I plan on making an appointment soon. It has not been inspected by the police or an insurance rep. Yes, the car/steering is available upon request.

STEERING
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
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.

STEERING
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.

STEERING
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
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.

STEERING
my steering wheel is sticking while driving. It has not caused an incident yet, but is causing me to oversteer consistently as it takes too much resistance to overcome the stuck position when trying to make smooth steering movements especially around long slow curves. Even when going straight on multiple lane roads it is quite difficult to make small corrections to stay in my lane. It is bad enough that I will not allow my wife or daughter to operate the car until I have time to take it to the service department.

STEERING
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
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.

AIR BAGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I had a medium sized doe run in front of the vehicle while on the highway. I had the adaptive cruise control set to 62 MPH with lane keeping assist and all other safety features enabled. When the deer ran out out in front of the vehicle the emergency breaking did not engage, nor did it flash the warning or make the chime. It caused major damage to the front center and drivers side of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. However, after the collision, the airbag light on the dash illuminated and stayed on. The airbag light has never came on before other than the illumination test when first starting the car. Also, the Hazzard lights did not com on automatically. The collision had enough impact to send the several hundred pound deer over 100' down the road. The only safety feature that partly worked was the retracting seat belts. I say partly worked because only the lap portion tightened. There was no tightening of the shoulder portion, which is now locked in place.

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

STEERING
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.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I put my Honda CRV Hybid away in my garage while it was running on battery power. It is silent when not in gear and operating on battery power. The key fob was in the car. I forgot to shut off the power switch before getting out of the car. When the battery drained, the engine started, filling the garage with exhaust, creating an extremely dangerous, and perhaps life threatening condition.

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.

STEERING
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.

The rear windshield in my 2022 CR-V EX randomly shattered when we opened the driver's side door. There was no impact from any objects as the vehicle was stationary all night. We believe it may be related to others' issues with HR-V's as well with the rear windshield randomly shattering.
