STEERING
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.

The Passenger side has water coming in from the windowshield (I think that's were it is from) when it rains to the point it completely soaks and sometimes makes a puddle on the floor of the passengers side. This causes mold and a horrrible smell.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving and my car just randomly slammed on the breaks going through an intersection. There were no cars ahead of me for my car to use the brake censor and there were no cars behind me so I was lucky and did not get rear ended. This happened for a split second then my car was normal again. It stopped so quick and the car made a noise at the same time. I was concerned on why it did that so I went down and turned around and drove that path again. It did not do it again the 2nd time and there was nothing in the road that should of made my car brake on it's own. Lucky I was not going so fast and not on the highway. I have reported it to Honda and there are no recalls on my VIN at this time per Honda.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I got in the car this morning and noticed what looked like a condensation drip at the top of my passenger side mirror. By the time I got to work, a full length crack was down the mirror. I pulled my cameras and nothing touched my mirror over night. I did a google search and others are reporting similar issues. this has a direct affect on visibility while driving. Given other complaints found this is a known issue, then Honda needs to do a recall.

STEERING
The dealership has the car because of STICKY STEERING. While driving in the freeway, the steering is sticky and makes it hard to operate the vehicle properly. This is a major liability because it feels you don't have full control of the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. Most critical of this error is there are no warning signals nor error codes

STEERING
When steering along long curves on the highway and then trying to straighten the steering wheel, the steering wheel will feel stuck and take a bit more force to overcome the position it gets stuck at before being able to be straightened out. Adding this amount of force to overcome the stuck steering wheel causes the car to swerve slightly. This typically is observed on sweeping curves to the right. Appears to follow NHTSA inv #EA23003

STEERING
On a drive back and forth to Florida from New Jersey the steering seemed to “stick” every so often during highway driving. Almost like the power steering was turned off. With a little additional effort I was able to continue steering but definitely something wasn’t right. I’m very familiar with lane departure and Lane assist features on this vehicle and both of those were not turned on when this was occurring.

STEERING
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?

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

STEERING
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Nothing has happened thus far, but: Read about the recall in the paper. Went to the Honda website where they confirmed the vehicle is part of the recall and said "Your search results indicate that your vehicle may be affected by a recall. If you conducted your search by VIN, please take immediate action to have your vehicle repaired, as your safety may be at risk." Went to the NHTSA website, where you all said, "Safety Risk: If the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury." Additionally from NHTSA "Recall Status: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available." Called the local Honda dealership and they said they won't have parts until Fall 2024. Per NHTSA website "If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please file an online complaint with NHTSA." So that's what I'm doing.
