STEERING
January 2024 Steering wheel suddenly became very hard to control while driving on interstate highway. Could not turn the wheel at all. Finally, I was able to steer onto the shoulder of the highway AFTER pressing the lane assist control button. February 29, 2024 Warning light on dashboard appeared- “Road Departure Mitigation System Problem. See Your Dealer” There is also a clicking/ creaking noise when turning the steering wheel. Seems to be worse when it is cold outside.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Back up camera flips from color into black and white. Not only is this distracting when using the back up camera, it also alters one's depth perception. I took my car to the dealer, they said it could be the audio entertainment system and it took them 4 months to get a replacement. The dealership told me it could be causes from too much light in the camera, the system overheating or an unknown cause. I had the camera switch to black and white on cooler days in my garage as well as out side on cloudy days. So far replacing the audio/entertainment system has fixed the issue but the dealership said it's likely going to go back to black and while and my next steps would be to "wait for Honda to find a fix for this issue".

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
1. Dashboard showed multiple system failures. Already sent to dealership and taking a look. They determined that it was the high pressure fuel pump. I saw there were previous recalls for it. Wanted to make sure that no other cars are effected. 2. The car completely stopped in the middle of the road and did not start at all. Had to physically move the vehicle out of the road to a safe place. 3. It has been confirmed by the dealer and they are replacing the part. 4. Manufacturer is looking into it. 5. No prior warning symbols.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I own a 2024 Honda Hybrid Sport CR-V. The automatic emergency brake will engage only after seatbelts have been engaged. If you have not engaged seatbelts and turn the engine off, the emergency brake will not turn on creating a roll away hazard. This happened to me. I jumped in my car, realized that I left something in the house, turned the vehicle off, and without realizing, left the vehicle in neutral. The vehicle rolled out of our garage and struck another car in the neighborhood resulting in at least six thousand dollars in damages. Fortunately, there were no injuries. This needs to be standard in vehicles that do not utilize ignition keys as I am sure I am not alone in that my protocol has long been to take the key out an ignition anytime I exit a vehicle and this is the first time I have owned a vehicle of this type. Our Honda Pilot will automatically place the vehicle in park if someone turns off the ignition, there is no reason for this or, at the very least, an auto emergency brake not to be an option in CR-V regardless of seatbelt actions. This should be a simple software fix.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My vehicle had about 5,000 kms on it. I was driving back home from work where suddenly as I was driving the car started popping up a whole bunch of error messages saying power reduced go see your dealer, electric power steering assist problem go see your dealer, emissions system problem go see your dealer and much more. The care went into a limp mode where I couldn’t go faster than 30-40km/h if I recall correctly. This was very dangerous as I was on the highway and this was during winter. My drive to work in the morning there was no problem at all.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I was driving back Thorne to Illinois on the highway from Florida vacation. My car shut off and could not continue to accelerate, at this point I’m in Georgia on [XXX] . I pulled over to the shoulder my car would not start. I towed it to Honda and they didn’t find the issue because there were no codes coming up and let us go home. Car turned on next morning and we continued to drive home. Well before we got to Nashville Tennessee the car shut off on the Highway again. We towed it to Honda again in Tennessee this time. We had to catch a ride home because Honda said it was unsafe to drive the car and they kept it to repair it. They said Both fuel pumps were not working and that they were going to order those parts and replace them. And go from there. And now they have called me saying they have replaced the fuel pump but the car is still having the same issues and the engineers says to start replacing thing and to start with the PCM and go from there. Currently the car is still at Honda Tennessee and they’re awaiting to get the PCM delivered to replace it in the car.

STEERING
The power steering is intermittently heavy ("sticky"). It's hard to stay in your lane, especially at higher speeds on the highway. On and off, the steering briefly feels like "manual steering" (no power), then feels normal. The driver (me) has to be constantly vigilant and use extra effort to keep the car under control. It's worse a higher speeds and is not as bad at lower speeds. Safety is at risk when it's hard to control the direction of the car! The Honda dealer has test driven twice and has not been able to reproduce the problem. The brief on & off heavy steering is worse when the car has been driven for a while - 45 minutes to an hour. The dealer never tested that long. No warning lights or special dash lights showing.

WHEELS
Recently, I had a flat tire. Our 2024 CR-V Hybrid does not have a spare. The tire inflator/sealant did not repair the flat. We were two hours away from home on a Saturday afternoon, and no tire repair shops were open. We had the car towed to the nearest tire repair shop and left for the rest of the weekend since no repair places were open Sunday. Monday we drove two hours to get the car. The tire was able to be repaired. If the tire could be repaired why wasn't the sealant able to repair the tire? We live in Utah, and we were lucky to have been as close to a repair shop as we were. Without a spare tire and an inflator/sealant that is unable to repair the tire with a simple hole, this car is unsafe to drive.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I bought the car brand new and from day 1 the backup camera display from the instrument is black and white. I scheduled an appointment at the dealer I brought the car from and they said they can’t do anything since Honda can’t figure out what is wrong yet. I called Honda motor directly tried to file a claim and I just get kept transferring around. It’s hard to see when at night time with display black and white.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Within 10 days of ownership my 2024 Hybrid CRV Sport Touring AWD broke down in the middle of a busy intersection. I noticed an exceptionally rough idle that permeated through the cabin. When I tried to accelerate, a vile burning smell also came into the cabin like electricity burning metal. The vehicle then died mid acceleration and cars behind me swerved around due to the abrupt stop while every dashboard warning came up including a check engine code. I was able to crawl it to a parking lot and tow it at my expense of course. Upon inspection by the dealer they confirmed it was faulty fuel injectors at just 230 miles on the odometer. They had no clue how or why brand new injectors would give out. My concern here is how it failed. It aggressively cut off power mid acceleration with cars having to dodge my vehicle and the smell of metal burning was a huge concern to me. Had I continued to drive who knows what would have happened. I am writing this so that the NHTSA has this on file to aid in future investigations of similar incidents.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My 2024 Honda CRV-Hybrid was sold to me with a defective back-up camera. The back-up camera starts in color and changes to black and white 98% of the time. I noticed the problem when I was driving the vehicle home from the dealership. I brought the vehicle into the dealership at 300 miles. I was told Honda Corporate is aware of the problem and has no remedy or solution to fix. I called Honda Corporate and opened a case. I was told by Honda Corporate to take the vehicle back to the dealership. I brought it again to the dealership at 587 miles. The dealership refused to see me for the problem. I was sold a vehicle that is known by Honda to have a defective back-up camera. This is fraud.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
When car is idle and hybrid battery switches to gasoline engine the engine shakes violently and warning lamps and messages for engine and transmission error come on. It's becoming more of a problem and dealerships do not know how to correctly diagnosis it. I've taken my car to the dealership twice and still the problems occur. I believe that the fuel injectors are faulty straight from the manufacture. In some cases the car can shut off on its own

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The backup camera image is shown as black and white, not color, and has poor resolution. With the black and white image and poor resolution, it is hard to determine exactly what is behind the vehicle when backing up, particularly in conditions of reduced lighting. The backup camera system was inspected by Honda dealership service and confirmed to have an issue. The display screen unit was replaced, but the backup camera image is still shown as black and white and has poor resolution. Another service appointment has been made.

I bought this new car about a week ago. I was parked in the church parking lot and put car in reverse to back out of the lot and the car went forward. This happened 3 x's for me. A Gentleman from church was walking out and I asked him to check and the same thing happened to him about 6 times but finally the car kicked into reverse. He followed me home to check that I got home alright. I called Hennessey Honda the next morning and the sent a tow truck out to tow the car to them. They said they could not get the car to duplicate the action and no codes showed up which really frightened me as I am fearful that it could happen again .

VISIBILITY/WIPER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
When putting the car in reverse, the rear camera image is usually black and white instead of color, which is unsafe because of the lack of contrast. It will also strobe between black and white and color, which is also unsafe and annoying. I took it to the dealer today (All Star Honda in Abilene TX) and they said Honda knows about the problem but doesn't have a fix yet. I've looked online at the Honda CR-V Owners Group and Redditt and see many complaints posted...so I'm guessing NHTSA knows about it, but just wanted to make sure....and I want my brand new car defect fixed....and I want Honda to stop manufacturing cars with this known defect.

After driving a car through a rainstorm, and trying to back up into a parking space on a city street, Big blobs of water drops appeared on the rear camera making it impossible to see backing up. Many people report this on social media sites.
