| Nov 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Rear window imploded/broke by its self. I was parked about to back up when it happened. loud crashing of the glass made me jump. I stopped got out of the car and was shocked that the window was broken. People on the sidewalks stopped and looked in shock as well. The car behind me had 2 people in it that were just pulling in to park and they saw it just implode. If I would have been driving at the time I could have been in a bad accident. The shattered glass sounded like a gun. I called and told HONDA the problem. They directed me to this site. HRV's have been reported having this problem per the HONDA person on the phone. My insurance had not heard of the problem. Even though my car is a 2024 they would not cover with HONDA parts per my policy, so I have an aftermarket rear window. The glass was installed/cleaned up and inspected by the glass/collision company LaMettry's in Plymouth, MN. NO warnings that this was going to happen. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | My 2024 Honda CR-V EX is experiencing a premature head gasket failure at approximately one year of ownership. A head gasket is a long-life component designed to maintain proper combustion sealing and prevent coolant/oil cross-contamination. This type of failure should not occur on a new vehicle and suggests a potential manufacturing or engineering defect in the powertrain. Before diagnosis, the vehicle displayed symptoms consistent with gasket integrity loss, including rough running, shaking during acceleration, reduced power output, inconsistent engine temperature, and abnormal vibration. These issues indicate possible combustion leakage, coolant intrusion into the cylinders, or compromised cooling system performance. Given the low age and mileage of the vehicle, the failure does not align with normal wear. Possible causes include improper factory installation, uneven torque application, defective gasket materials, engine block or cylinder-head surface irregularities, or thermal management issues that could cause localized overheating or warpage. Any of these would point to a systemic defect rather than owner misuse. A failing head gasket can lead to engine overheating, stalling, power loss, oil/coolant contamination, and eventual engine failure. These conditions present clear safety risks if they occur while the vehicle is in motion. Because this is a major powertrain failure occurring far earlier than expected, I believe this issue may affect other 2024 CR-V models and warrants investigation. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA can review whether a potential defect exists that could require further action to protect consumers. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,BACK OVER PREVENTION | Since purchasing over a year ago Recurring failure of the rear-view backup camera system, resulting in a black and white image, coupled with dangerous malfunctions of the integrated Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (RCTM) system. Detailed Description of Safety Hazard The backup camera image repeatedly reverts from color to black and white, making it significantly harder to distinguish critical objects like pedestrians, curbs, and other vehicles, especially in low-light conditions. Crucially, this malfunction is directly affecting the vehicle's active safety systems: 1. Failure to Detect Cross Traffic: The Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (RCTM) often fails to warn of approaching vehicles, pedestrians, or objects when backing out of a parking space. This eliminates a vital safety feature and creates a high risk of a back-over collision. 2. False Cross Traffic Warnings & Unintended Braking: The system also frequently provides false warnings for non-existent cross traffic, which can cause the vehicle to momentarily lock the brakes up (Auto-Brake) without driver input. This sudden and unintended stopping during a maneuver is unpredictable, startling, and poses a risk of creating an accident, especially if a vehicle is maneuvering behind me. The system was previously serviced, including camera replacement, but the issue returned within a few weeks. This recurring failure presents a serious and ongoing safety defect that requires immediate repair of the core system components (likely the infotainment unit or wiring harness) to restore both the image and the reliability of the safety sensors. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES | Driver of the vehicle was traveling about 50 miles per hour, Multiple warning notices appeared on the dashboard ranging from Vehicle Stability Assist System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System problem, All Wheel Drive System Problem, Electronic Power Steering Problem, Electric Parking Brake System Problem, Brake System Problem, etc., approximately 16 error messages. The front end wobbled, Brakes were mushy, Steering was difficult as if the power steering ceased working. Was able to safely pull off the road. Vehicle was towed to dealer for diagnosis and repair. Dealer pulled codes from the ODB port and it displayed multiple warnings. See attached list of codes from the Dealer Dealer checked multiple systems but was unable to diagnose the cause. Dealer re-set the codes and sent the car home. This could have been a significant safety issue if the event had occurred under different circumstances. Request investigation into Honda to determine if this issue has occurred elsewhere, determined a root cause, and if the manufacturer needs to issue a recall for all affected vehicles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | SEATS | After seeing the IIHS report on this 2024 Honda CRV rear seat safety issue shown in the crash test where the rear seat is deforming during offset crash I wanted to see if the NHTSA was going to investigate this issue further and request that Honda address this obvious safety issue. It would seem the rear seat is not constructed well or maybe the seat bracket is not strong enough for a good crash result and needs to be recalled. Please look into this matter please. Thank you. https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/honda/cr-v/2024?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19779867573&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI97z8zPbJkAMV3yNECB0eOQIoEAAYASAAEgJ99PD_BwE | Crash: Yes Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | SUSPENSION | My 2024 CR-V EX-L FWD has roughly 37,000 miles on it, and the tires have been rotated per Honda's built-in "Maintenance Minder". The inner shoulder of all four tires are worn to the extent that they need to be replaced. The rear suspension suffers from excessive negative camber; It is visually discernable upon approaching the vehicle from behind. I asked the service advisor at my local dealership in League City, TX, what they could do about it, since the rear camber is non-adjustable, and his response was that in situations like this, they recommend installation of aftermarket adjustable upper control arms. They, of course, do not install those parts, and, he even indicated that once those were installed, they would no longer perform any alignment of the vehicle. Additionally, that would void any warranty of any rear suspension components. I have since discovered Honda TSB 20-081 for 2017-2020 CRVs (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10181080-0001.pdf). I know, via comparison of part numbers on honda parts websites, that 2017-2026 CR-V's all share many of the same rear suspension components. Therefore, I think this is a situation where there is an overarching issue in the suspension design used on the 5th and 6th generation CR-V (and therefore, also their contemporaries - Civic, Accord, HR-V, Clarity, and Acura Integra, which also share components with this design). Additionally, the rear of my CR-V looks to be 'sagging', and knowing how suspension geometry functions, it leaves me thinking that perhaps the springs specified for the FWD CR-V (at least) may be too short or have too light of a spring rate, permitting this 'sag', which would then not only result in more negative camber but also increase the toe measurements as well, which would also negatively affect tire life. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Engine light turns on saying emissions test, take to dealership. Car shakes when idle. At 24768 miles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | TIRES | 235/60/R18 103H These Tires came on my new 2024 Honda CRV (OEM TIRES) and needed to be replaced at 38,000 miles. The tread wear on these 70,000 mile rated premium tire was unacceptable. I did all the recommended rotations, wheel alignments and pressure checks throughout. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER | The rear view camera display keeps switching from color to black&white mode during parking operations. This happens even during good weather where there is plenty of light out and no reason for it to switch to low visibility or nighttime mode. The car dealer said there was no fix for this. This behavior began shortly after purchase and has continued to occur since then. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | LANE DEPARTURE | Road Departure Mitigation Error See Dealer Followed by Lane Departure Error See Dealer when making sharp left or right out of a parking space or backing out of a parking space and making hard left turn or right turn. There are numerous comments on Honda Blogs and Reddit but the local Dealership Pohanka Honda of Salisbury says they can't fix it unless it shows an error- online it looks like the RDM software and camera and sensor get confused when starting and making hard left or right turn - it does not happen anytime during the drive and I drive 1000 miles a week and in and out of car 15 to 20 times a day and it can happen as much as 4 to 5 times when starting - so it is intermittent- they gave me a loaner 2025 Honda CRV non Hybrid and no issues and my wife just bought a 2026 Honda CRV non Hybrid and no issues. From what I see is local dealers are not reporting it to Honda corporate as they cannot find an error code and just write it up as a software glitch- so if no one is reporting it from the dealerships Honda will not know how many vehicles are having this issue and won't find a fix - says there has been a steering box recall on some Hybrids but not this vin, also says it can be the sensor or sensor brace or the camera and finally the software , Highly irritating since i am in the car so many hours a day - regular drivers to a work location and back home may never have this issue - I have gps in my car and a video clip of the error and can show you both - also there was a service bulletin regarding this issue when backing and not sure that software was updated in my car- i was told no errors , all software is up to date and picked the car up 6:30 pm 10 15 and by 1:00 pm 10 16 the error showed . Please help me as it has been August 2023 with this issue and may dealership visits. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The rear camera on my 2024 CRV is totally useless if it rains or snows, the picture is so distorted you can't tell if a vehicle or person is behind you. This has caused me to not totally trust this feature even in clear weather. Thank goodness this has not caused any incidents when I'm backing up, but it is very nerve wracking. I mentioned this at the dealership when I first bought my car but I guess there is nothing they can do. My last car was a Subaru Outback and the camera was excellent, even in bad weather. Please have Honda do something about this dangerous situation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | STEERING | VEHICLE EXPORTED FROM THE USA TO ECUADOR, Honda representative in Quito, Ecuador does not accept the vehicle. They give excuses and do not want to repair it .I WANT TO BUY THE SPARE PART AND TAKE IT TO THE WORKSHOP In the USA, Florida, they don't want to sell me the spare part. I NEED AN ORDER TO SELL IT TO ME WHAT CAN I DO? I'VE BEEN IN THIS PROBLEM FOR 11 MONTHS. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I have had to go to Honda numerous times for the same thing. They are chalking it up to its a CVT engine. It seems to incur after going in reverse and other times it just starts sounding louder in its spin and the rpm is not at normal intervals because it’s almost like a gear shifting mode like it’s stuck in low gear. Also when it becomes sluggish it feels like an engine part is spinning on air versus using gas and oil. Like if the engine is going to shut off mode as I try accelerating and then cars are passing me by. The speedometer is showing one number but the movement of the car here is a lower number. at the same moment the rpm needle bounces around too. Each time this occurs I have to turn the car off at least two or three times before it goes back to normal operation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | Chest Clip, Buckle, Harness | Chest clip will not stay connected. Especially when it’s cold. It randomly will just pop apart . The company is not taking this seriously. This is dangerous. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I had adaptive cruise turned on and set to 36 mph, a vehicle which was a good distance in front of of me turned left across the oncoming lane and into a parking lot. Even though the car that made the turn was already in the parking lot the car slammed on the brakes. I have the entire incident in video. Of course this problem also exists and is even more dangerous at high speeds. I have complained to Honda USA three times and NHTSA once a few months ago and no response. My daughter who has the same vehicle also experiences these issues. Someone is going to get seriously injured . I’ve had cars behind me almost cause a wreck on the highway because of the slamming on brakes issue . Please advise where I can send the rascal video. It’s a matter of life and death. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Vehicle repeatedly brakes on its own when there are no vehicles in front to avoid. Very dangerous for vehicles behind and me and passengers. Dealer "cannot" reproduce, denies there is a problem despite 1000s of online complaints and NHTSA safety investigation. Incidents occurred within weeks of purchase in December 2023. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | On this vehicle, the washer fluid sprays intermittently by design. In theory, this would save fluid but the timing of the spray makes it so a majority of the right/passenger side windshield stays completely dry or gets just enough spray to smear around any obstruction that is on the windshield. I have had several times now where I need to clean my windshield from dirty road spray and end up needing to pull in to a gas station to get out and clean my windshield. There are online forums that talk extensively about this issue and seems to effect all 23 and newer Honda CRVs. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I love my 2024 Honda CRV which I purchased in May of 2025. But I need to report this for safety reasons. On September 9, 2025 I was driving south on Sare Road near Davis Road in Bloomington IN at about 30 mph when the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), activated and stopped the car in an instant. It was a rapid, unintended deceleration. The “Brake” message flashed on the dash. This occurred at approximately 7:30 pm, and there was no other traffic around me. No oncoming traffic, no other cars in front of me and thankfully no one following closely behind. There was no collision - however if another car had been behind me they likely would have rear-ended my vehicle. There were no people or animals in the vicinity to cause the CMBS to activate. And I did not inadvertently touch the brake prior to the incident. I was just driving along and suddenly thrown forward and restrained by my seatbelt. I could smell what seemed to be the brakes or tires. I was confused as to why the vehicle stopped. I turned the engine off and checked for traffic, then started the car and continued driving home without further incident. Within a day or two, I stopped in at my dealership ( Andy Mohr Honda) and reported the incident. Today (9/19/25) I was having a transmission fluid service and mentioned the CMBS issue to the technician and he chanced the Settings for CMBS from “far” to “near” and said that should solve the issue and to let them know if it occurs again. My concern is that if it happens again it could result in an accident and cause damage and injury. Especially if I am on the interstate driving at 60 mph. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | STEERING,SUSPENSION | Malfunction of the Honda CRV's Rear upper control arms. Yes it will be available to inspect until the 13th of October. Safety risk is the fact there is no more adjustment on the factory installed rear upper control arms. When on the rack and they align the vehicle, they only want a .5 degree when being done. The factory installed rear upper control arms makes the camber maxed out at 1.25 degrees to the negative. This causes severe wearing of the tires if they are not watched closely and rotated frequently. Yes. The vehicle has been inspected by a certified shop and the dealership. Yes there was wear on the tires that made me request a four point inspection at the dealership. They did not preform an alignment. Said it was the lack of quality tires installed at the factory that made them wear so badly. This issue is not covered by manufacturing/ extended warranty available. Honda's response "more aggressive tire rotation" to prevent the problem. That is unacceptable. Especially when it is being said right off the alignment rack: "we only want to see a .5 degree for the toe and camber. This Honda is maxed out and will not move away from that 1.25 degree mark." There is such a thing as adjustable upper control arms to prevent the premature wear of tires. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The vehicle is a 2024 Honda CR-V EX-L with approximately 13,000 miles, purchased at Gillman Honda in Houston, TX on May 29, 2024. The issue involves the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) activating without any obstacle present. The first incident occurred in February 2025 at around 11,000 miles while driving on a feeder road at ~25 mph. The vehicle suddenly braked to a complete stop even though the road was clear. There were cars behind me, and although they stopped in time, it created a serious risk of rear-end collision. Had I been traveling at a higher speed and the car braked completely, this could have caused the vehicle to flip or lose control. The second incident occurred on September 4, 2025 at ~13,000 miles while driving on a busy street at approximately 40 mph. The vehicle suddenly braked very hard for no reason, but did not fully stop — instead, it resumed immediately. It felt as if the car “took a screenshot,” braking sharply then continuing. This was especially dangerous since I was traveling at a higher speed, and vehicles behind me could have easily collided with mine. Both incidents put my safety and the safety of other drivers at risk. The vehicle was brought to Gillman Honda on September 16, 2025. The dealer acknowledged the safety concern and kept the car for inspection. On September 19, 2025, the service representative confirmed they had contacted Honda corporate and opened a case because of the seriousness of the issue. The car is still being held at the dealership pending corporate guidance. No warning lights, error messages, or prior alerts appeared before either incident. This appears consistent with a known problem that has been reported by many Honda owners in recent years involving unintended braking by the CMBS system. The defect makes the vehicle unsafe to operate, and at this point we no longer feel safe driving it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While using Adaptive Cruise Control at 47mph on a local highway, Automatic Emergency Braking activated almost stopping the vehicle with vehicles fairly close behind it nearly causing an accident. There were no vehicles beside our car and no vehicles or objects on the road in front that could trigger the braking. This has also happened several times at lower speeds on less crowded roads. After the last occurrence, I took the vehicle to the Prescott Honda Dealership where they were unable to duplicate the problem. They documented the problem but told me that Honda would not replace the sensors under warranty unless the Honda Technician was able to duplicate the problem while driving it. If this happened on a busy Interstate Highway like I-40 or I-17 at 75mph with vehicles or a large truck close behind, it could cause a serious accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEAT BELTS | I purchased a 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid (VIN [XXX] ) that was represented as having only an airbag replacement. A certified Honda dealer inspection has revealed multiple serious safety defects: •Driver seat belt buckle malfunction (DTC B0050-F0): The seat belt does not function properly and cannot be repaired without replacing the floor harness. This violates FMVSS 209 (seat belt safety standards). •Rear differential/ESC fault (DTC C1851-18): The differential shows signs of prior impact damage, metal shavings were found in the fluid, and the gearbox must be replaced. This affects AWD and electronic stability control (ESC), which is federally required under FMVSS 126. These issues were not disclosed by the selling dealer. The vehicle was sold “as-is,” but selling a car with a defective seat belt and ESC system creates a major safety hazard. Repairs are estimated at $8,692.92 on a vehicle with less than 2,000 miles. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and should never have been sold in this condition. The vehicle was purchased from Central Autohaus, Dallas, TX, on [XXX]. The dealer only disclosed an airbag replacement but did not disclose the seat belt defect or impact damage to the power train/ESC.

| Aug 2025 | STRUCTURE | The driver side mirror vibrates, especially at highway speeds. It creates a distorted view. The dealership has replaced the glass. It did not remedy the issue. I took it in a second time and they replaced the entire mirror assembly. Still did not fix it. I took it in the third time and they said it is just a characteristic of this generation of CRV’s. It seems that Honda does not have a way to remedy the vibrating mirror problem. I find it very distracting while driving and it could potentially be a safety issue down the road with the distorted rear view. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The backup camera on my 2024 honda CRV switches to black and white in hot weather. Depending on how hot, it may either stay black and white or rapidly switch back and forth. Not only is this a distraction while backing up but the washed out black and white image makes it much harder to differentiate between the roadway and objects in it. The issue has been confirmed by my local dealership and they told me replacing parts does not fix the issue. There is no known fix at this time. I switch to relying entirely on my mirrors when this happens but this does reduce overall visibility, especially for small objects and children. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | STRUCTURE | This issue is the vertical door trim panels directly adjacent to the windows on all four door of the vehicle. Since purchasing this vehicle in 2024 we have had to have this/these door trim panels on the drivers side replaced three times due to the sun melting the panels. Honda service is well aware of the problem, the problem is also on the internet. I have complained and filed a formal complaint with Honda asking that the vehicle be replaced, this is still pending by Honda. I believe there to be several issues of concern with this. These trims panels are very thin, if the panels degraded condition is not addressed will it come free from the vehicle and possibly fly into an open back window into the face/throat of a passenger at 55 mph or greater? Will the panel come free and be propelled into another vehicle traveling behind me? Will another driver lose control over this issue? I believe there to be enough sharp edges/surfaces on this panel to cause serious bodily harm at 55mph or greater. Honda, the internet (media) are all well aware of this issue, yet Honda just keeps replacing the sun melted panels with another panel that eventually melt. I have had to take the time to drop off the vehicle, pick up my wife (owner) then take her back to pick up the vehicle. When the standard warranty expires what then? These panels are obviously defective in design, why has Honda not redesigned the part to withstand sunlight/heat so that this stops happening? Considering the amount of these vehicles on the road today I cannot understand why this is not properly addressed. I have an open case with Honda over this issue, I requested that the vehicle be replaced (brand new vehicle with a never ending defect/safety issue). My case number with Honda is 15594160. Please help with this (corrective engineering on replacement part) I am receiving the obligatory corporate response from Honda and I think this issue warrants more authority/stance then I have.
