ENGINE
I almost got into accident twice by using Auto Engine Stop/Start feature at traffic light. Traffic light was green and the car in front of me turned right but they were too slow to turn which I had to hit my break. Due to hitting my break, the car thought I was stop/idle so it turned Engine off. When the car turned Engine off, it basically got hiccups or stalls for few second and the car behind me almost hitting me as traffic light was green to go. You can only temporarily turn off this feature and it will default turn on when the car starts which will lead to accidents in matter of time if I forgot to turn it off every time I start the car. Honda should update software to allow customers to turn it off permanently if they want to instead default on.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Warning lights (LKAS, Collision Mitigation, Road Departure Assist and Break System) suddenly went on as I was backing out of the driveway. No obstruction found on the vehicle upon checking. CR-V was with 2328 miles on it. Informed the dealer of the issue and got it serviced immediately. I was informed that the multipurpose camera needs replacement. Service Manager from the Honda dealer said that the vehicle is still drivable even with warning lights on and that the camera is on back order but the ETA is unknown.

STEERING, WHEELS
While driving on the highway, my daughter experienced an issue that caused her to lose the ability to steer the vehicle. The vehicle went off of the road and into a guardrail causing damage to the left side of the car. Prior to losing the ability to steer, she thought she felt some strange shaking. Thankfully, she was not hurt and did not collide with any other vehicles. The situation could have ended much worse than it did. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being inspected. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the incident. The issue seems very similar to other issues that we have read about affecting 2024 CRVs and other Honda models that cause difficulty steering. Much like the issues we read about, this was a new vehicle with low mileage and during winter months.

STEERING

The contact stated that the steering wheel had seized stuck and failed to function as intended. Additionally, the contact stated that it was very difficult to control the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed steering assembly and that the steering rack assembly needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the steering rack assembly was on backorder until April 2024. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 3,735.

STEERING
The steering wheel sticks and becomes stiff intermittently at various speeds. It seems to happen significantly less in cold temperatures (under 35°f). When performing a turn or slight correction, more bodily force is required to make the move which has resulted in exaggerated moves/corrections. This issue was presented to the dealership and their technician allegedly drove my vehicle and another of the same year/model and was unable to recreate the issue.

Horn is not adequate as a warning mechanism for safety. A large number of owners are complaining about this issue. Honda knows the horn is inadequate but instead of providing a suitable horn for the vehicle they are selling an add on horn for customers to purchase through the parts department. The horn provided with the vehicle should be of sufficient volume to serve as a safety device. This is not acceptable.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Day #4 of ownership of brand new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring, passenger side mirror cracked on a cold morning, approximately 18 degrees. Suspect heating element was too hot and the transition from cold to hot too rapidly caused a vertical crack from top to bottom that impairs vision. Called the dealer, part is on back order and they have no clue when it'll come in. Would not commit to tell me if it was under warranty or not.

Our complaint is in regards to the factory horn Honda is installing on the current generation of CR-Vs. After purchase one week ago of our 2024 model year, we noticed the horn was very faint. Believing it to be a defect, we researched online and found that it is as designed. The horn is so poor that dealers are selling "upgrade kits" and posting online videos on how to install. The standard horn comes as a single high-tone that is insufficient. These kits include a second low-tone horn and a y-splitter cable that will hook into the factory single high-tone horn. Once the low tone is installed, the horn sounds and functions as any vehicle should be expected to function. But otherwise, the factory single high-tone is inadequate and not safe. I have tested this by having my spouse behind me on the roadway in clear weather at night and stopped at a red light. The horn is very faint and not adequate enough to provide proper warning if needed. If I was not expecting the horn test from my spouse, I would not have thought it was a vehicle horn at all. Now consider adding in poor weather and driving at 70mph, the horn would do nothing to warn another driver from an improper lane change to avoid a collision. With over 10 years of law enforcement and traffic-related experience, I am asking that this matter be investigated and require Honda to issue a recall to bring their horns up to standard by providing the fix to owners at no charge to add the low-tone second horn so that the vehicle will sound a warning at a volume and depth as needed in everyday usage. Buyers should not have to pay to upgrade this most basic of safety equipment and does not provide good optics for Honda to cut costs in this way and increase margin for dealers as an aftermarket kit.

STEERING
We have a 2024 Honda CR-V Sport L. My wife drives the car mainly on the highway. She mentioned she noticed the steering "sticks" when trying to change lanes or make small corrections. Almost like lane assist is on but worse. I drove the car and confirmed I experienced the same issue. There are no warning lights telling me there is something wrong with the steering. It has caused my wife to have a couple of close calls. I am taking to the dealer today to have it looked at.

STEERING
When driving in a straight line, the car pulls to the left, requiring me to correct the drift by steering the car to the right. There is a lot of effort put into correcting the gradual and progressive drifting of the car, especially during highway driving. Correcting the steering is a constant during the drive. The steering itself also feels "stiff." Much effort is needed to correct the steering, making it very difficult to traverse the roads, especially when quick and accurate response is needed to avoid debris on the road, potholes, other cars, and even simple tasks like lane change. This started happening even before the vehicle hit 1,000 miles on the odometer. Additionally, there were two occasions in which the power steering light came on the dash when remote starting the vehicle, but would turn off when cycling the car. The light came on once prior to the sticky steering issue and once more after having experienced the start of the sticky and stiff steering. I have not remote started the car since. The dealer has noted this, but could not find a reason why this is happening as a diagnostic check did not reveal any errors. Adding to the steering issue, there is a lot of effort needed to make right turns and left turns, even at low speeds. All of these issues could not be replicated by the dealer. However, the dealer did not take the vehicle on a prolonged drive nor on the highway at highway speed. The dealer has noted that if the problem persists, to take it back. It is still persisting. The car has 2,000 miles on it currently, and I have only had possession of this vehicle for one month.

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
2024 CRV showing errors concerning brake assist and lane departure. 1647 miles. I had a 2023 Sport Touring CRV. Same messages appeared. At 10,300 miles, when being serviced at the dealership for an oil change, tire rotation, and two service bulletins, I was informed of an “embedded” code saying the main camera needed replacing. Looking online, Honda has an issue. This seems to be happening frequently.

STEERING
Steering has slight “sticky” feeling requiring extra pressure to turn steering wheel which is discomforting as it feels you are fighting it. This could result in an over correction to steering and moving out of lane into another vehicle or guard rail. This usually occurs at highway speed. The dealer has indicated that it is a known issue and will replace steering components when available. No warnings, messages or other symptoms prior to issues.
