STEERING
Steering is jerking available for inspection. The jerking of the steering wheel does not allow the car to stay in its driving lane and requires constant over steering to stay in a highway lane. This is the first step in reporting the issue and will be reaching out to American Honda and other parties to address this issue as we are financing this new purchase which was purchased in early June of 2023. No warning lights are displayed in the Honda HR-V and no messages are occurring while operating this car. This started on 11/22/2023 and is still occurring as of 11/24/23. This is a very dangerous situation.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Problem with low-beam headlights. When I'm driving, oncoming cars flash their high beams because they think I'm going with high beams. When something like this happens, and I'm blinded, I can't see well for some time. This endangers my life as well as that of other drivers. Honda says everything is OK with my car

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While I was driving and while using the rear window defroster the rear window suddenly shattered. The shatter made a whole on the middle/upper left side (facing forward). This needs to be recalled as it is a hazard while driving and there shouldn’t be rear windows easily shattering by using the defroster once. This was my first time using the defroster since I just bought the car.

STEERING
steering wheel at times will momentarily get stuck and require added force to overcome resistance. This happens every time the vehicle is driven but it is mostly suttle. On one occasion correction resulted in the vehicle leaving the lane I was traveling in. There were no warning notifications from the vehicle.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The rear glass exploded out of nowhere while my partner and I were in the vehicle. This was very scary and life threatening. I went to two dealerships and they told me to file a claim with the insurance company because there is nothing that Honda can do since they do not cover glass and they did not conduct any inspection. It may however have something to do with the defrost system. My vehicle is available for inspection as of right now. I have a glass replacement scheduled for which I have to pay out of pocket.

STEERING
When driving at highway speed (65mph), attempted to make subtly changes to stay within the center of my lane. When trying to do this, the steering wheel "ticks" or "jerks" instead of smoothly adapting. When keeping within my lane while the highway lane curved, I was able to stay in it, but every adjustment to stay in the middle of the lane during the curve ticked and almost over corrected, making it difficult to navigate smoothly. I am constantly adjusting due to the over correction of the tick/jerk. This issue seemed to go away after slowing down to 35mph, but happened again at any higher speed. No warnings/messages/ or symptoms made themselves known prior to this event. Has yet to be taken to the dealer for this issue but planning to schedule an appointment after the Thanksgiving holiday. Unable to take my car on an elongated car ride as the problem causes stress to the driver.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The back windscreen of my 2023 Honda HRV spontaneously exploded causing an 8-inch diameter hole on the left side of the glass (when looking at it from the back). The vehicle was parked with engine off and was being filled with gasoline at a gas station. When the back hatch was opened to remove a bag (covered in broken glass) most of the remaining windscreen fell in to the back of the vehicle when the hatch was shut. The vehicle was not involved in an accident/collision and was not hit by any object. The rear window heater had been turned on in the previous minutes. Honda do not have a recall for this issue but they have issued a dealer communication and are investigating the general issue. This does seem to be a common issue according to Honda forums.

STEERING
The steering sticks and takes more effort to move the steering wheel. When making a turn, the steering wheel does not return to the neutral position and stays at the angle of the turn.

On 11/12/2023 my wife was driving the 2023 Honda HR-V from the grocery store approx. at 9:30 AM in the morning On the way home she turned on the rear defroster and the back window completely cracked and shattered. If occupants were in the back of car they could have gotten glass on them. My wife also couldn't see out the rear window while driving. My wife called the police and told them. she thought maybe someone tried to break into the car. The police looked at camera footage at the grocery store at found no one near the car. I'm trying to go through my insurance to replace the windshield.There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
