STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am the original owner of 2014 Honda CRV , color of the car is Pearl White, NH-603 PX, right after manufacturing guarantee, paint started to peel, top, back door, complete passenger side. Paint is bubbling and peeling off. I see many same issues on Honda CRV on the road. I believe this is a quality issue and if there is a defected paint, it can be other defective parts too. I called Honda dealer many times and raised this issue and answer was “there is no recall”. I went to multiple body paint centers, they all confirmed that Honda CRV Pearl White paint is defected paint, didn’t sticked to the body properly.

STEERING
My Honda CRV developed a sticky spot when driving down the road, I could feel a dead or sticky spot while making slight lane correction or changing lanes on the Interstate highways. I took it to my Honda dealer; they told me that my electronic steering system failed and was a hazard to drive. They said that my complete steering system needed to be replaced. They said my vin number wasn't on the recall list, but newer CRV models with the same failure had a safety recall. My CRV was out of warranty and not covered by the recall. I had to get the steering replaced and it cost me $5000.00! Why wasn't my CRV with the same steering failure covered. That's why I'm filing a complant.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Since April 2026 my Honda Crv 2021 had been having issues with all the warning lights on my dashboard turning on and off. When all the lights turn on the sensors don’t function the way they supposed to and won’t alert me when I’m getting close to a car or need to make a sudden break. I took it to Autozone to get the codes from the warning lights and also to Honda and both said that I needed to replace, the fuel injectors. I replaced the fuel injectors and the problem still there. It was inspected by Autozone, Honda and also an independent auto shop.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The fuel injector system failed or malfunctioned. This past Tuesday while going to merge onto the highway the car stalled and would not move beyond 40 mph which nearly led to a collision because I was unable to accelerate to merge with traffic flowing at a high speed. Immediately after this all of the dashboard warning indicatros came on. It was terrifying to say the least because we could have been in a serious auto accident. I was forced to pull into the break down lane and move along at a slow speed until I was able to navigate to a safe location. There were no lights or prior warnings leading up to the event to indicate there was a problem. I also had this same issue two years ago in 2024. Both times I have been told it is related to the fuel injectors and has cost me over $5,000 out of pocket to repair. This does not include having to find alternate transportation and missing work to have the car repaired. I spoke with the mechanic at Colonial Honda of Dartmouth,MA and asked if this was normal for a car to have the same issue with this part or to have it happen within such a short time frame and he said no that it was not common. Both times they have repaired the car.The car is currently running fine but I have fear that it will randomly happen again without warning and I may not be as fortunate to escape a collison.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was approaching an exit on the highway going about 60 mph when my car braked suddenly causing rapid deceleration. I was not touching the brake pedal and in fact tried to push the accelerator to no effect. Only lasted a few seconds but very frightening as there were cars behind me also driving at that speed.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
This is the third time this vehicle has experienced wheel lock-up during braking. The first occurrence was over three months ago, while one driver was driving alone. The second occurrence was about one month ago, with a different driver, and a passenger was present who also witnessed the wheels locking; no collision resulted those two times. Both involved the wheels locking during braking and a loss of steering control. On the third occurrence, on June 25, while driving on the freeway, the vehicle ahead braked suddenly. The driver applied the brakes and they initially responded, allowing the driver to slow and avoid hitting the vehicle in front. Immediately afterward, the wheels locked up and the driver lost the ability to steer or maneuver. The anti-lock braking system did not prevent the wheels from locking. Because the vehicle could not be controlled, it was struck from behind by a following vehicle. This defect has now occurred three times over approximately three months, with two different drivers, and has resulted in a collision. It is a recurring, dangerous loss of vehicle control.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My breaks stopped working! Car was in drive and my foot was on the break and the break did not function and drove forward. I was able to stop this before hitting anything and turned the car on, but this could have been catastrophic as I was driving to work at the hospital.

STEERING
I am having trouble with a sticky steering. The dealer told me that the part I need was recalled on other 2018 Honda CRV‘s, but mine was not under the recall. He said I need the steering rack replaced. He also said that there are a lot of others having the same problem and yet there has been no for the recalls. My gearbox is the same as the ones that were recalled but mine wasn’t recalled. Therefore, I am having to pay a lot of money to have this replaced.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The check engine light came on right after my warranty expired two winters ago but then went off. Since then I randomly comes on and goes off. I decided to buy a diagnostic kit and see that it is faulting on the evac system with 6 error codes. I know this is a known issue with my make and model but Honda has yet to issue a recall.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield washer system on this 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport-L does not function as designed. The washer fluid is released from the wiper-mounted nozzles only when the wiper blade reaches the near-vertical (upright) position, rather than distributing fluid across the windshield during the full wiper stroke. As a result, the majority of the fluid is dispersed laterally onto the driver-side and passenger-side windows rather than onto the windshield surface. This was first noticed during an initial road trip when the wipers failed to adequately clear insect debris from the windshield. The suspected cause is a check valve failure in the washer fluid delivery line. Without a functioning check valve, fluid drains back to the reservoir between wash cycles. When a wash cycle is initiated, the fluid must travel the full length of the line before reaching the wiper nozzles, arriving only after the blade has already completed most of its stroke. This results in poor windshield cleaning coverage and wasted washer fluid primarily on the driver-side exterior of the vehicle. This condition reduces forward visibility, which poses a safety risk — particularly at highway speeds when rapid windshield clearing is necessary to maintain a clear field of view.

ENGINE
The engine throw a P303 Code with a cylinder 3 misfire. Using coolant at a rapid rate as well. We have change the spark plugs numerous times, put in new coils and replaced the fuel injectors. This is with all Honda OEM Parts. There is an issue with the Headgasket. The car looses power and has left me sit on the side of the road. I will not drive it as this time due to safety concerns. The CRV is services at our local garage since the dealer is to expensive. This service center has been working on this CRV for the last few years. The garage is a well respected service center in our community. This issue has been going on for a month or two. All of the dashboard lights come on and then I loose power. When it does work, it will sputter when starting and then sputter at times while I am driving it. I know there has been a class action lawsuit filed because of this same issue but I am being told my VIN number does not fall into that category. I do not see how that is right when I am having the same issues with my car that is described in the lawsuit.

STEERING
Steering wheel has been “sticking” and getting worse the last six months. When I look up recalls online, it shows this specific issue for 2018 Honda CRV but not my VIN. From reading online this could be a serious issue so I’m going to have to go ahead and get the car fixed but would like to be advised if and when a recall comes out to fix the steering issue.

STEERING
2019 Honda CRV steering problem -- steering binding at highway speeds; ratcheting feeling. Possibly worm gear spring defect. I must constantly tug at my steering wheel to keep the SUV in my lane at speeds over 50 mph. I've mentioned this to my dealer two times now and they don't seem to know about the problem. There is a recall for this on other Honda models -- why hasn't a recall been announced for the 2019 CRV???
