On 2/21/24 as we were exiting a Hospital Parking Garage and I slowed down to stop at exit where road is, the engine suddenly had an uncontrolled acceleration. Difficult to stop but I pressed hard on brakes (which alone did not stop vehicle)and immediately put gearbox in Neutral, stopping vehicle before it made it on the street. After that, no more incidents on 2/21 or 2/22.. Should be noted I had total of 3 such incidents in past 4-5 months, this was the third. One occurred as getting out a store parking lot, slowing down at street interface and suddenly engine acceleration, used same technique as above. Another was at end of our street coming to a stop at interface to another street, same occurrence. In each of the occurrences I can verify that it was neither a car mat issue (it is anchored in car) not an accidental stepping o accelerator. . Have not contacted dealer or Honda as I note neither has ever found an answer to similar occurrences with others. For now drive carefully and one hand on shift lever most of the time when coming to a stop as occurrences appear to be far apart.

In November of 2023, I started having a noise in the front end of my 2019 Honda CRV. I took it into the local Honda dealership and was told that I had a bad power steering rack. They replaced the steering gear box. I was concerned that a vehicle with only 34,000 miles on it would have such an important component break so soon. I looked on [XXX] & saw there were multiple reports of the same thing occurring on other same year, low mileage cars. There were reports on the same website that indicated some had actual problem when steering. I reported it to American Honda, they were responsive, but I did not know that this was the group that needed to be alerted to the problem. So, I am addressing it now. Thanks for your time.

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.

While driving at highway speeds the electrically controlled parking brake engaged resulting in a hazardous situation requiring my son to pull over off the road. The entire electrical system was acting strangely with hazard lights coming on randomly, alarm system going off randomly, and keys fobs not working. Honda dealership determined the issue to be a bad Body Control Module (BCM).

Vehicle steering sticks and cause a momentary increase in steering effort that could potentially cause overcorrection and an increased risk of a crash. The sticking typically happens when the steering wheel is slightly turned to the left; the steering column and wheel automatically skip back to the right. It feels as if it is 'jumping' or 'skipping' a cog in a wheel. Initially this happened only on the interstate on trips of longer duration (I purchased the car new in July 2023 and first noticed it on my first road trip in November 2023), but beginning in January 2024, it has started happening regularly while I am driving around town on surface streets. At this time, I do not feel as if it causes a significant safety risk, however given that the issue has significantly increased in frequency in a few short months (November- January), I do have concern that it could cause major safety concerns if not addressed. I have not taken the car to the dealership yet. I have seen that many other owners of 2024 CRVs have filed similar reports with NHTSA and there are numerous accounts on ownership groups online, so I wanted to file my own. I do believe this should be a recall issue. No warning lamps or lights have appeared thus far. I am open to having the issue inspected if necessary. I will be contacting my dealership today. Thank you for your consideration.

The visor on the driver's side does not go all the up or down. This puts the driver and passengers at risk for an accident, especially if driving into the sun by limiting needed visibility for the driver. The visor was brought to the dealer's attention.. He said I would be responsible for the cost of a new visor and installation. I was told upon buying the car that it was tight because it was new and would "work itself out." It never has become better., only looser.

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.

Warning lights (LKAS, Collision Mitigation, Road Departure Assist and Break System) suddenly went on as I was backing out of the driveway. No obstruction found on the vehicle upon checking. CR-V was with 2328 miles on it. Informed the dealer of the issue and got it serviced immediately. I was informed that the multipurpose camera needs replacement. Service Manager from the Honda dealer said that the vehicle is still drivable even with warning lights on and that the camera is on back order but the ETA is unknown.

The driver side rearview mirror vibrates at speeds of 65 MPH or greater. Vibrations cause the image in the mirror to distort and shake making it difficult to see important objects. The problem was confirmed by the same dealership that sold the car. The dealership replaced the driver side rearview mirror, but the replacement mirror has the same issue.

3 main issues: (July 2023) Suddenly when trying to accelerate on the interstate, I could not. I pulled over, turned the car off, and back on, and did not have the problem again for several months. (December 2023) Car started to sputter upon turning on. After a minute it ran fine. Continuous problem. (January 2024) Every single service light came on. Car would still operate but without cruise control, lane detecting, electric brake and every other feature. Lights remain on and flashing while driving. Still sputtered upon turning on but would stop after a minute. Several times when putting in drive, would not accelerate past 15mph approx). After restarting, the engine would seem to operate fine while all service lights remained on with functions of each not working. One day the car operated fine and did so for several days. Then the problems started again. I took it in for service and the dealer said it was a fuel injector that needed replaced. Waited for a part for 3 weeks and got the needed repairs. When I picked up the car it seemed to operate fine. The next day all problems started it again. It is currently in the shop to look for the cause.
