FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Driver assist systems disable themselves occasionally and seemingly at random. It seems that something is hyperactive or overly sensitive with the system. I have stopped to clean areas where camera is and it doesn't seem to make a difference or helps for a little while and then happens again. Unable to use cruise control for remainder of trip without calling dealership and them telling me to press and hold something to shut off driver assist in order to use cruise control. Another time my front collision warning flashed and disabled my cruise control while I was going down an interstate highway recently at 75 mph. Luckily no one was close behind me. I have no idea what it detected that would have set this off because there was nothing there. Not even a tumbleweed. The weather was somewhat windy and it had rained lightly earlier in the trip but was dry at the time this happened. Another time this past week, the lane departure flashed and did the shimmy with my steering wheel and I was not even outside of a lane. And then when I was on my own road going home and no one was coming I deliberately went outside the center lane and it did nothing. This is getting weird. I don't want to be a statistic. It's getting so I am spooked to drive it on a longer trip! I told the dealership during an oil change today but apparently there isn't much they can do? To me, this is unacceptable and Honda needs to better for it's customers.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My car was sitting in idle with the engine on for approximately five minutes, then all of the sudden the engine started to make loud tractor engine-like loud noises. The dashboard was bombarded with warnings. I turned the car off, and waited a few seconds. After I restarted the car, the check engine light turned on and the system reverted to one warning on the screen which read "Emissions system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer."

STEERING
The steering on my vehicle gets stuck while driving. There is resistance to turning the steering wheel. This is much worse when the AC is running. Honda looked at my car last year and said they did not detect the problem. I know it is real though as I have since seen that many 2022 CRVs have been recalled for this problem. My VIN however was not included so I guess safety is not a priority for Honda. Disappointing. I will not buy another car from Honda.

STEERING, WHEELS, SUSPENSION
Dear National Recall Team, I am writing to report a recurring and potentially hazardous issue with my vehicle that has not yet been addressed through a recall. Since July 2024, I have experienced a problem with the steering wheel intermittently getting stuck, accompanied by a rattling noise from the left side of the vehicle. During a routine oil change, I asked the service technician to inspect the issue, but I was told everything appeared normal. Despite this, the problem has continued. I followed up with several phone calls but was consistently told that no issues could be found. I brought the vehicle back in again on Friday, where they replaced the brake fluid, yet once again reported no findings. Unfortunately, the steering issue and rattling noise persist, and I am increasingly concerned for my safety while operating the vehicle. When I contacted customer service, I was informed that only vehicles from model years 2022–2024 are currently covered under a recall for steering-related problems. As my vehicle does not fall within that range, I was told I do not qualify for assistance — despite experiencing similar symptoms. I respectfully request that this issue be investigated further, as it appears to pose a serious safety risk. I am happy to provide additional documentation or bring the vehicle in for inspection if needed. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

STEERING
When driving on long curves my steering sticks and I need to correct it by turning the wheel slightly inorder to continue on the road. It feels like it could lose control and veer off the road causing an accident. It is both frightening and dangerous to feel the steering stick and not possibly be able to be corrected. i took my car to my local Honda dealer and to diagnose the problem it would cost $224 I could not afford that and would lose it if they did not feel the sticking and if they did it would be applied to the repair. I decided to wait for what I feel is a pending recall. Now it has gotten worse and confirmed by my son who drove my car and asked what the heck is wrong with the steering. Now I feel confirmed and will have to have it repaired. There are no warning lights or messages the driver feels the steering stick and adjusts the direction to stay on the road. This is dangerous, frightening and please do a recall before someone is injured.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
Numerous times over the life of the car all dash warning systems and lights activate while you are driving. Sometimes they persist after restarting engine. Numerous visits to dealer to address and finally they stated that fuel injectors need replaced. Searching this issue online seems to indicate this is a common event with 2017-18 CRVs like mine. I contacted Honda and they stated that there is no recall or warranty extension for an issue like this. The car is not safe to drive with all the alarms staying active. This started taking place in 2018 with only 30K miles and would happen rarely. But started to happen monthly in 2024 until I replaced the fuel injectors last September.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Tailgate latch stopped working and would no longer stay shut. This caused safety risk by allowing contents of the trunk to become unsecured and potentially exit the vehicle while driving. The car was taken to a shop where the malfunction was confirmed and the part replaced. There were no indications of the malfunction other than a warning that the tailgate was open.
