STEERING
increased steering effort and “sticky steering” while driving especially on highways. Problem occurs randomly and is not easily duplicated.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2400 miles, emissions light came on and dealership says I need a new fuel injector. Looks like this is a very common issue with these vehicles.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The driver side visor will not remain in the full upright position. When driving the vehicle I have hit my head several times due to the visor falling to a 45 degree position instead of remaining in the flat against the headliner. This requires constant adjustment while driving by moving to the side window, or moving back to the front windshield to avoid constant nuisance while driving. We have hit our head on the visor MANY times looking for traffic at a stop sign or when merging. After taking the vehicle for services, this issue has been brought up to several service personnel at the dealer and stated the owner is responsible for this common defect. There are numerous issues listed on the complaint list that have been reported. Just yesterday, I spotted a CRV of simmilar year model in costco parking lot, and stopped to look in the vehicle to notice that they had a loose driver side visor hanging down about 3-4 inches as well. This shows that this is very common. The replacment part is in excess of $150 to replace, and there are numorous comments about replacing this part due to same reason only to encounter the same result after a few months of use. Since this has become such a nuisance for the driver and a safety issue of constantly adjusting to ensure a clear field of view driving, we have opted to just remove the visor knowing that the replacement will likely be a waste of time and money to only encounter the same issues again at a later date. It is disappointing to see that Honda is not taken serious concern for the customers encountering this issue that is such a common safety distraction and nuisance to the drivers of these year model CRV's. I read reports that have been entered from a 2018-2020 for more than a dozen vehicles just on here that have reported the issue. This visor is a vehicle safety feature that the customer should not have to remove in efforts to minimize safety risks that are more often a nuisance than assisting in safety and visibility.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Earlier this week and again today, my wife and I were using our 2017 Honda CR-V EX when the car behaved very anomalously. In both of these instances, the car started normally and moved out onto the street, but then the engine abruptly bogged down and multiple messages of the form "xxx System Has A Problem" would cycle on the driver's display. At this time, the car would barely move forward or reverse, and shifting into reverse ("R") was accompanied by a noticeable jerk and a thump. The shifter display on the driver's display also appeared to be showing all of the possible shift settings at once. One or two cycles of rebooting the system on the infotainment/backup camera display appeared to clear the engine operation problem, but the error messages persisted for several miles and several restarts before they abruptly disappeared. Note that the streets here in Florida are very flat, and the weather this week has been mostly hot and humid with little rain. We have about 40,000 miles on the odometer, and the car has been serviced regularly by the local Honda dealer. When this anomalous behavior is not taking place, the car seems to move and accelerate normally. Several other complaints appear to describe the same problem, and some owners report that they have been told that they need new fuel injectors. We have not yet taken our car to the dealer or other mechanic, and the problem has not yet been reproduced by the dealer or anyone other than us. This appears to be a safety issue because a sudden loss of engine power in traffic could be very dangerous. During the malfunction with reduced engine power, I recorded a video of the driver's display which I can provide upon request.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My vehicle lost brakes as I was driving. The dealer stated it was because of wiring problem but I read where crv were having a problem with the accident mitigation system. They replaced my wiring harnes to my rear view mirror. The dealer couldn't explain why I lost power to my brakes.

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks while driving and will jut over when doing minor driving adjustments. Took car to Honda of Columbia dealership in Lexington, SC. Told me Rack and Pinion needed to be replaced and they have had multiple issues with them needing to be replaced. part # 53620-TLB-A23

STEERING
A couple of months ago, I began to notice that the steering wheel would "click" as I turned left or right at an intersection. This began as a subtle jerk that was easy to overlook, or think to have been imagined. I travel significantly for work on the highway and began to notice that the steering wheel would slip and catch, even on long, gentle curves. When the frequency of these instances began to occur with alarming regularity, I took my 2018 Honda CRV to a Honda dealership. The service technicians confirmed the issue was the power steering rack sticking. I was informed that parts (gear box assembly, tie rods, boot set) would need to be ordered before repairs could be made. Technician also noted (see attachment) they'd found top strut mount popping and thumping. The vehicle issued no warming or messaging to alert to an impending issue. After 6 weeks, the parts are still not available (on backorder) for an undetermined amount of time. Current out of pocket cost, $3,427.51.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield washer is placed on the wiper blade. When you try to get water on the windshield it blows off before the wiper blade can actually touch it to clean the windshield. Without water, the debris on the windshield will only smear. I had this happen on the interstate and tried to clean the windshield and the windshield became impossible to see through. I had to stop on the side of the interstate and pour water from my water bottle on the windshield so that I could drive the car. I spoke to a worker in the Service Department at the Honda dealership in Murfreesboro, Tn. He agreed that the design was a problem but said there was nothing he could do to fix it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
As soon as I turn the vehicle on, all the warning lights turn on. I cannot use any safety features of the vehicle as the lights remain on. It started a year ago however used to go away itself. But this time it is consistent for over 10 days and not going away

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On August 15, 2024, around noon, I was stopped at a red light waiting for the light to turn green. When it finally did, I released my foot from the brake pedal and proceeded to accelerate. Not even 2 seconds later, I heard a beeping sound (from collision mitigation system) and my car abruptly stopped. There was no car in front of me and the car behind me was 2 car distances away. My car abruptly stopped on its own with no obstruction in sight in front or behind. I am very concerned to say the least and now feel unsafe driving my car especially since I drive my children around all the time. The automatic braking system/collision mitigation braking system on my 2020 Honda CRV, although meant to increase safety seems to do the exact opposite. I did some research and learned how to turned the collision mitigation braking system off. I trust my fight or flight response more than this automatic braking system. It seems this is more likely to cause an accident. My vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer for this matter, however, I do plan on scheduling a service appointment to ensure the ABS system is working properly. The vehicle only has 38000 miles and has been driving smoothly, no warning messages or vehicle problems that I am aware of. As a public health professional, I feel it is my duty to report this safety concern. This system seems so faulty and dangerous. Please please please investigate this matter, it's so scary. Sincerely, a public health advocate, wife, and mom of 2. Thank you

STEERING
COMPONENT IS THE POWER STEERING RACK. THE STEERING BECAME HARD TO STEER AND SEEMED TO STICK WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE STEERING FAILS TO RESPONE AS EXPECTED WHEN YOU ARE TURNING THE WHEEL. DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA THEY VERIFIED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER MESSAGES FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE MANUFACTURE WAS UNABLE TO SUPPLY A REPLACEMENT PART DUE TO BACKORDER THE DEALER PROCURED THE PART FROM ANOTHER DEALER. AFTER THIS PART WAS INSTALLED I EXPERIANCE A GROULING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND QUICKLY EXPERIANCED THE SAME STICKING WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL. THE DEALER IS STILL WAITING FOR ANOTHER REPLACEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On 6 separate occasions (2 in 2018, 4 in July 2024) my automatic braking system has kicked in when there is no apparent obstruction, vehicle, etc. in front of me. I have not taken the car to the dealer or filed any inspection as no accident occurred and I saw an article online about this happening to the same model and year car and thought I should add my examples to the list.
