VISIBILITY/WIPER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Windshield wipers don’t have the same amount of travel each stroke. Sometimes the driver wiper will contact the A pillar and sometimes it will be several inches shy of the pillar. It seems it depends on how wet the windshield is. On several occasions, independent of wiper issue, the vehicle has significantly decreased speed or come to a complete stop for no apparent reason.

STEERING
At highway speed, the steering has ratcheting feel. Move it by 0.5 degree, and it tries to boost the move by 1 degree or 2. At parking lot speed, when the steering is turned to dead ends, the stepped boost is also noticeable. This is likely related to the "sticky steering" recall (NHTSA 24V-744). The problem still persists for vehicles manufactured after the end date of the recall

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am getting increasing frequency of cylinder misfire, so far cylinder 1 and 2, and the car goes to a limb mode and loose power. It happens during acceleration to a highway ramp. Engine lights and other many warning lights come on, the car goes into limb mode, I pull over and when I turn the engine off and turns back on the warning lights clear and the car drives normally until next time, to start all over again. I took it two Honda dealers at three occasions. Since the engine light goes off, and they cannot capture the issue, they are telling me there is nothing they can do. It seems to happen during a normal driving than sport mode. It is frustrating and dangerous situation. I thought I would report it, to save others from similar situation

STEERING
Steering gets "sticky". Brought car to Honda dealer and just by test driving the car they want $6000 to replace bad bearings, steering motor and gearbox. No diagnostic test was done or parts looked at physically. I brought car to a local mechanic who also test drove car and did a diagnostic test and they said the steering motor and gearbox are fine and said nothing wrong with car. Honda has had recall on 2017-2018 crvs due to faulty steering mechanism. This is obviously a known Honda safety issue since Honda dealer knew what problem was just by test driving car and known recall. Why is my car not covered even though Honda said it's out of warranty? Which mechanic do I believe? Can local mechanic diagnostic test pick up the problem as outlined in Honda recall with magnet issue? I don't want to drive an unsafe car yet Honda wants $6k and I don't know for sure if there's a safety issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Subject: Safety Concern: Electronic System/BCM Failure – 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid Vehicle Information: Year/Make/Model: 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid VIN: [XXX] ] Approximate Mileage: [45,200] Component: Electrical System / Body Control Module (BCM) Description of Incident: On [04/13/2026], my vehicle experienced a sudden and total failure of the Body Control Module (BCM). The vehicle’s security alarm began triggered randomly and could not be silenced or deactivated. Simultaneously, the key fobs became completely unresponsive, preventing me from locking, unlocking, or disarming the vehicle. Upon entering, the dashboard displayed a "Christmas Tree" effect with all warning lights illuminated (ABS, Brake, TPMS, etc.) accompanied by a persistent audible beep. Safety Risk: This failure creates a significant safety hazard. Because the key fob and locking systems failed, I was unable to secure the vehicle. Furthermore, the loss of communication between the BCM and other safety modules (like ABS and Traction Control) puts the driver at risk of losing critical safety features while in motion. Prior History: This issue is identical to the symptoms found in NHTSA Recall 20V771 (affecting 2018–2020 Honda models). It appears the defect persists in the 2022 CR-V Hybrid model year, yet no recall has been issued for this specific VIN range. Requested Action: I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid for BCM-related electrical failures to determine if a safety recall is necessary to prevent further incidents of driver stranding and safety system malfunctions.

STEERING
Vehicle has 48283 miles with a failing eps. Dealer stated that it’s out of warranty due to mileage stating that I would have to pay for a new one. Even with the mass recall they said they can’t do anything. Popping noises occurred a little over a year ago and was diagnosed as tire cupping and that it needed tires to fix the noises.

STEERING
When driving along a straight stretch of road, the steering sticks and must be jerked or forced to adjust direction of vehicle. The steering makes a clicking noise with minor movements of the steering wheel. The condition is much worse in hot humid weather. We just returned from several months in Florida where the problem was significantly worse. It is also bad on long interstate drives. The problem is just as described on the recall for the 2022 and 2023 Honda CRV's. We have taken it to a Honda dealership for repair -they said it had something to do with the air bag. They were not interested in properly diagnosing the problem because it was not on the recall list.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The infotainment system reboots while driving, including on the highway. This has happened since day one, and Honda has said they do not have a fix. Whether connected by USB or Bluetooth, the system eventually crashes or reboots after some time on the road. After rebooting, it often still does not work properly. I then have to reconnect the device or even reset the infotainment system to get it working again. This creates a serious safety risk because it forces the driver to deal with the system while driving.

STEERING
When driving long distance (car is warmed up), and taking a left turn or a left curve on freeway, the steering wheel sticks, and does not return to center. When doing it manually, there is a popping sound before it returns to center. Its the same thing when taking the car out of parking lot after it is standing there overnight. This is not the first time this happened, as it has happened many times before but we assumed it is the tires going bad.
