STEERING
Highway or city streets the car drifts and the steering sticks when you correct the drift. This is a safety hazard, if it jerks too much when correcting it could drift into the opposite lane causing a crash. I bought my HR-V in March of 2023 and it was fine until my Low Tire Pressure Sensor triggered. We couldn't find an issue with the tires so we recalibrated the sensor and after that the steering started to stick. I brought it to the dealer and they couldn't find any issues at that time. Over the last couple of weeks it's gotten worse, I called my dealer again and they said they've had to replace two steering racks on the HRV due to this problem. I turned off the lane departure feature to see if that helped but the problem persists.

STEERING
At highway speeds the car drifts and the steering sticks severely when you correct the drift. The problem happens both to the right and left. I bought my HR-V in June of 2022 and it was fine until December 2022 (about 1800 miles). It was really bad for about 3 months then got a little better. I’ve noticed it getting worse again as winter approaches. I turned off the lane departure feature to see if that helped but the problem persists. The Honda dealer has no idea what is causing the problem.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I own a HRV Sport 2023 and Friday December 1, 2023 I found my rear windshield shattered all of the sudden. I know by reading online that is a defect from manufacturing. The dealer where I bought my car does not want any responsability and they told me I have to pay it. This is a manufacturing defect. Is not fair I'm still paying for this car and have to be liable for something the manufacturing has done wrong.

STEERING
My steering has become sticky especially during highway driving when trying to stay in my lane. The stickiness makes me have to use extra force which then ends up making a jerky feel and over correcting. The drive is not smooth and feels unsafe for me as well as other vehicles on the road due to the potential of ending up in someone else’s lane. I will be taking my vehicle to the Honda dealer today. No warning lamps or messages have been shown.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I was unloading my groceries and over my head. My windshield from the back of the hatchback closure exploded over my head, and then I had to pay a 500 deductible because Honda said that there was no recall for an overheating back windshield so I had to pay out-of-pocket for it, and they literally had a hole and it exploded over my head and they said they couldn’t do a recall.

STEERING
The steering wheel effectively sticks at any speed, especially at the home position. It takes a meaningful amount of force to move the steering wheel once stuck, creating a safety hazard. I noticed this while driving the car, who we bought for our son, creating even more of an issue for him being a new driver. It’s my understanding this is a known issue with the Civic and other models. It does need to be addressed before someone gets hurt.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The steering is sticking and jerky without the lane assist, especially when it's cold out. Instead of normal smooth steering correction while driving, it builds up pressure while trying to correct, then it feels like a slip, then a jerk. It makes me feel very unsafe and I always now have to have a firm grip on the wheel
