ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Electrical component that controls that stereo and dashboard are going out, almost $2000 to replace this. It controls what indicates the quantity of gas and any safety related information, such as the check engine light, to me as the driver. Without this, I could put people at risk by completely losing gas, since I can’t even track my milage either, as well as possibly causing a safety risk to myself and my family if the car has any safety issues going on, as I wouldn’t know until I took it to the shop.

POWER TRAIN
The transmission on my 2020 HRV Honda failed at 63,000 miles. We were at risk because we were driving on a freeway with speed limit of 70 mph and we could only go 30 mph. The problem has been identified by American Honda but they would not extend the warranty to 2020 cars. The transmission had to be replaced and the new one is working. They were no warning signs of the failure. American Honda is saying that the NHTSB is responsible for issuing all recalls. Please help. This was a huge expense that Honda knows full and well that it was a CVT failure on their HRVs. The case number with American Honda is 14909647.

AIR BAGS, STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
My car has been brought in for service multiple times due to airbag issues. After the initial repair resembling of the car panels was not done correctly forcing me to bring back the vehicle. After this on another occasional a strange rattling noise began to happen while driving the vehicle. This was scheduled for service but then the noise went away. After this another airbag issue came up saying the vehicle had to be taken to the dealer. The dealer was inititally saying the issue could not be duplicated and I could pick up the vehicle. At this point I looked up recalls and found the recall regarding steering and that noises could be attributed to this. I ask the recall be performed and was told it could not be. Another issue was however found with the airbags and repaired. I was told to get vehicle as it was fine. Since then the noise has occurred on 3 seperate occasions. Additionally while driving with lane control the vehicle has 2 twice left lane on highway forcing me to correct. I feel things are being dealt with in a very dishonest way by Honda of America and it is instructing dealers to avoid correctly diagnoising issues and falsling claiming it cannot be duplicated to avoid itself costly repairs.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While on cruise control on the freeway, car suddenly decelerated 20+ MPH. There was nothing ahead of me on the road at the time, no cars, no debris or construction materials, nothing. I was nearly rear ended. Car has not been inspected yet. Many alerts go off on the dash for unexplained reasons - that various safety mitigation systems are offline due to debris on windshield for example, when the windshield is totally clean. But there were no alerts prior to this deceleration at all. Drivers side speaker shorts out intermittently. Car is available for inspection on request. I haven't used cruise control since this incident.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2020 Honda HR-V Sport with digital gauge cluster failure. The LCD screen that displays the gas level, vehicle mileage, and gear the vehicle is in has gone to a blank screen. Or at times, it will display random numbers and letters that don't translate to any meaning. As others have reported, this leads to us not knowing what our fuel level is or the gear the vehicle is in. There were no warning indications before this issues started occurring. It happens in all variations of temperatures.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On the 2024 HRV LX the unlock button on fob unlocks all doors at the same time when you press the unlock button once. It should only unlock the driver’s door when you press it once and should unlock all doors when you press it twice. The car manual itself states this should be the default setting however it is not. This is basic safety feature that has been used on most vehicles for last 10 plus years Honda included so it doesn’t seem feasible they would suddenly remove it. This was an oversight and a dangerous one!
