ENGINE
On October 19th at 4pm, driving at 72 miles per hour the engine lost power and the engine light flashed. As this was during heavy rush hour traffic, it was a big risk trying to get to the side of the road, get off the highway and travel at very slow speed (20-25 mph) until I could get home. After the engine was shut off and the restarted after 20 minutes, the engine light was off and it seemed to run normally. The car was taken to the dealership where it was purchased several days later and no fault code could be found to identify the problem.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
2022 Honda crv. The battery was old and had low voltage. There were no warnings of this and no issues starting car. While idling at light at intersection the entire car just died. It was on and there was power to it, but everything broke and it appeared like there was some kind of major electrical disfunction. No steering no brakes could not shift could not turn car on or off. Towed to Honda dealer. They replaced battery and confirmed this can happen on the road while idling if battery is getting old. Very dangerous

The steering is sticky. It feels stuck when going around curves. This creates a jerky driving experience and I'm worried it could cause an accident on wet or icy roads.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
**Loss of propulsion at highway speed - 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid Approximately 3 months before submitting this complain, I was driving my 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid at approximately 60mph when the vehicle suddenly stopped responding to the accelerator pedal. The gasoline engine was still running, but pressing the accelerator produced no propulsion. A dashboard warning light came on. I believe it may have been the check-engine light, but I do not recall with certainty whether it was flashing or steady. I had to bring the vehicle to a stop and turn it off and restart it. Propulsion returned after restarting the vehicle. The incident was dangerous because it occurred at highway speed and left me unable to accelerate with traffic. Restarting the vehicle restored propulsion, but I am concerned that the problem could recur unexpectedly. I had happened a few times before (8/9/26, 9/24/26 and 9/28/26). I am reporting this as a potential safety defect involving sudden loss of motive power. I ask NHTSA to consider the report in connection with its investigation of alleged loss of propulsion in 2020-2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid vehicles, including Preliminary Evaluation PE25016, if applicable. I do not know the underlying mechanical or electronic cause of the failure. I have taken it to a Honda dealer (Oursman Bethesda) and while they indicate there may be a fix, they cannot apply it as they have no evidence that the problem exists.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am reporting a potentially serious safety concern involving the front driver's-side window of my 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid. While I was driving on a highway, shortly after leaving a stoplight, the front driver's-side window suddenly shattered. I had just come from a stoplight and was not traveling at high speed. There was no known collision or apparent object striking the window that caused it to break. Honda has already refused to assist me with the repair. I have found several NHTSA owner complaints involving spontaneous shattering or exploding of side/rear window glass on this generation of Honda CR-V, including: • NHTSA complaint 11493390 — 2022 Honda CR-V: the passenger window reportedly suddenly imploded while the vehicle was being driven, with no apparent object striking it. • NHTSA complaint 11581530 — 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid: the passenger rear window reportedly exploded while the vehicle was being driven on a highway, with no apparent impact reported. • NHTSA complaint 11571038 — 2021 Honda CR-V: the driver's-side rear window reportedly spontaneously shattered while the vehicle was parked, with no apparent impact or visible damage explaining the breakage. • NHTSA complaint 11749917 — 2021 Honda CR-V: the rear window reportedly suddenly exploded while the vehicle was being backed out of a driveway, with the owner reporting that nothing struck it. I understand that individual consumer complaints do not by themselves establish a manufacturing defect. However, these reports, together with my own incident involving a 2022 CR-V Hybrid, raise a legitimate safety concern that warrants investigation. I am asking NHTSA to review my complaint together with these existing complaints and determine whether further investigation or action is warranted. I am also asking American Honda to document my incident as a potential safety-related glass failure and reconsider its refusal to assist with the repair.

POWER TRAIN
This has happened 4 time so far. The vehicle was running fine, and then suddenly the check engine light starts to flash and engine has no power and loses speed, pressing the accelerator does nothing although you can see the power bar on the dashboard light up, but no power. The issue is resolved once you restart the vehicle.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving and steering the vehicle, the steering wheel was sticking. Additionally, the vehicle made an abnormal grinding sound while turning the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure increased while driving 60-80 MPH on the highway and caused a safety risk. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering rack and pinion had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, and an alignment was performed. The contact associated the failure with an unknown recall. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

AIR BAGS
While driving my 2022 Honda CR-V normally, the passenger-side window airbag(s) suddenly deployed while the vehicle was in motion. There was no collision, crash, or apparent impact immediately before the deployment. The deployment was completely unexpected. The unexpected deployment created a serious safety hazard because the sudden airbag deployment could cause injury, startle the driver, obstruct visibility, and potentially result in loss of vehicle control. The deployed airbag(s) and related SRS components are available for inspection. The cause of the deployment has not yet been determined or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I am not aware of any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms immediately before the deployment. I am requesting that the vehicle and SRS system be thoroughly inspected to determine why the airbag(s) deployed without a collision and whether there is a defect involving the passenger occupant-sensing system, airbag system, sensors, wiring, or related components.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Sometimes when driving the automatic brakes will turn on and the car will suddenly brake hard. This has happened a few times now. I had a few close calls with drivers almost rear ending me because of this. This seems to happen randomly as it always happens in different areas. There were a few times there was nobody else on the road other than me and the automatic brakes would kick in. I put in the date of the last time this occurred to me. This is a reoccurring issue that compromises my safety.

STEERING
Vehicle Information: * VIN: [XXX] * Year/Model: 2022 Honda CR-V EX I brought my vehicle to an authorized Honda Service Center on 09/23/2026, where the Service Manager informed me that my vehicle's specific VIN is not actively flagged for the [XXX] recall in their system. As a result, they refused to perform the required gearbox spring replacement and lubrication remedy free of charge. Because this is a known, verified manufacturing flaw involving the annealing process and excessive spring preload of the Hitachi Astemo steering gearboxes, the fact that my VIN was omitted from the initial campaign does not absolve American Honda of its liability to repair a dangerous vehicle defect. Driving this vehicle is a severe hazard to myself and others on the road. I request that American Honda immediately issue a corporate goodwill authorization to my local dealer to replace or repair the steering gearbox assembly according to the recall technical service bulletin specifications. Please contact me within 3 business days to establish a case number and coordinate the scheduling of this vital safety repair. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
My 2022 Honda CRV Hybrid is experiencing the widely documented 'sticky seering' medhanical defect, causing the vehicle to momentarily catch, stick and jerk at highway speeds, creating a severe overcorrection and crash hazard. The dealership (Skyway Honda Bartlesville, OK) confirmed the rack and pinion system is failing but wants to charge me almost $4789.87 in parts/labor to repair it because Honda corporate has not yet extended the official 24v-744 recall to the 2022 model year.

STEERING
2022 CRV-EX with 21,550 miles Steering began sticking about six months ago when turning or rounding curves and has been getting progressively worse. I'm aware of 2023 and newer CRV's being recalled and repaired for this same problem and am hoping that the recall for this dangerous issue could be ordered for the 2022 models. Thank you
