STEERING
Steering has become jerky and sticks in the last two weeks…makes it very hard to drive and feels unsafe. We turned off the lane assist to see if that helped but no different. Diagnostic test was done today but results not yet confirmed. Was told it was “safe@ to drive but power steering warning light came on twice on my 15 minute drive home.

STEERING
The steering wheel gets “sticky” when driving straight. An incident has not happened yet but it makes me uneasy to drive bc at times I have to jerk the steering wheel which can potentially cause over correcting. There are not any warning lights and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The odometer and other information on that gauge are blank upon starting the car. That includes the fuel gauge, clock, and thermometer. Some fiddling around with the knob eventually brings it back but the total mileage and Trip A mileage are lost (I need them for tax purposes). Today it says "range" where the total mileage should be. The second time it happened, nine months later (today), while driving, the numbers and bars/lines became incomplete. They were moving around a bit. After awhile, they came back. I understand that many other HRV drivers have the same problem and that the fix is expensive. I have had the car for two years and drive 1,000+ miles a year.

The problem is related to steering. Steering wheel sticks at any speed but gets more hazardous as speed increases. Potential for accidental over steering— causing difficulties staying in lane. Accident did not occur, but steering problem could easily cause one.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The first of October 2023, I was sitting in my car in a parking lot. I started my engine and I heard a loud boom, I looked up and around my car when I noticed the large hole in my rear window. I did not turn on my rear defroster. I went home and called my insurance company. The next day I went to the dealership where I purchased my HR-V. the service technician said "oh no not another one. I asked her what did she mean by that remark. She said that this particular model 2023 HR-V, their dealership has had a lot of customers come in for the same problem. My dealership scheduled for me to get the rear shatterered window replacement. I immediately called my insurance company to cancel the appointment. Why should I file a claim on my insurance when this incident wasn't my fault. The Honda Motor Corporation need to acknowledge that the rear window is faulty and a danger to all its customers.

Rear window failed/shattered when the driver side door was closed. Sounded like a loud bang, glass fell into rear hatch area and there was a hole in the window. Looking at the window it appears that the plastic seal around the window failed. If this happens at speed the result could be catastrophic. I’ve contacted Honda and am waiting to hear from the dealership.
