| Jul 2025 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING,SERVICE BRAKES | The 2023+ Honda CRV hybrid model have paddles on the steering wheel that increase and decrease the strength of regenerative braking. I use this feature often on our 2024 hybrid model. The issue arises when increasing the strength to the second or third (highest) level. The braking force at these levels should trigger the brake lights to illuminate, but they do not. Often I see drivers brake late behind me because my vehicle is braking with noticeable strength, but the driver behind me can’t tell. So they slow late and very close to my vehicle’s rear bumper. Honda should recall the hybrids and retrofit the brake lights to activate when regenerative braking is increased to the second or third level. Just as Tesla brake lights activate when their regen braking system works by releasing the accelerator, Honda’s should activate when turned up to the higher levels. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The vehicle has occasionally hard decelerated (braked) for no apparent reason. The term seems to be "phantom braking". This has been going on for a while for my wife and me when either of us is driving. My wife doesn't usually use cruise control and I use it most of the time. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving down the road at about 45 mph, my 2024 CRV automatically applied the brakes while there was not anything in front of me. I’m [XXX] and honestly it scared me. I’m just wanting to report this because I don’t want anyone to get hurt. I have not taken it to the dealer as this was the first time.

| May 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Sunroof exploded. Some glass fell on passengers inside of vehicle. Our vehicle is at the dealership waiting for inspection by someone from Honda. This happened without warning while we were driving at approx. 60mph. Heard a loud boom and realized the sunroof has broken. There was nothing around us or over head when this happened. We were traveling on a smooth two lane road with no other vehicles in front or behind us. AGAIN, this happened very suddenly without any warning. I did see on the internet that there have been similar cases of this failure happening in 2024 and 2025 CRV's. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER,BACK OVER PREVENTION | Honda case#: 15542096. Rear camera will go black and white intermittently. Rear camera replaced under warranty at under 6k miles 9/25/25, however, problem still persists randomly. Attached pics on 3/22/25 and 4/2/25 are examples of this issue I witnessed and obtained photo of. Dealership says they cannot duplicate and cannot proceed forward with repair or diagnosis on 3/18/25 RO#377440 with just under 15k miles. No rhyme or reason for random occurrences other than seems to happen when weather changes drastically (cold or rain). It's a safety issue because black and white is a deviance from normality and it is not discerning enough with the low quality resolution camera used to prevent backing up into someone or something. Color helps the eye discern shapes, people, and things better protecting objects from damage and life from harm. Honda and the dealership so far has refused to take action or solve even though the car is under warranty. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Windshield cracked without visible impact. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | SUSPENSION,WHEELS | We were driving on [XXX] . Lane keep assist and cruise control were active at the time of the incident. We were driving in the leftmost lane when suddenly we heard a loud thud noise and the tire immediately went 90 degrees causing us to lose steering control. The vehicle went from the left lane into the shoulder, making contact with the side barrier on the highway with the tire as first point of contact. We immediately attempted to regain control of the vehicle and managed to steer it out of the barrier and slowly come to a skidding stop in the shoulder area. Multiple suspension components damaged, possibly transmission, wheel damaged, ball joint and axle damaged, left front strut, strut mount, strut bearing, and upper spring seat damaged. We got it fixed for the first time for 6.1k then they wires another fix for the back wheel because the entire wheel and more parts were damaged and they want to fix it for 1k more. and then today I got another quote for 1.3k for the strut. They have done multiple diagnostic tests and alignment tests but keep coming with more issues.

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I have a 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid AWD Sport model. On two occasions within the past 3 months, I have attempted to start the car, but when I did so, the dashboard lights, including all the error indicators lit up and flashed, the alarm went off, and I couldn't drive the car. In both cases, I called Roadside Assistance. While waiting for the tow truck, we were able to shut off the car and alarm by putting the car into "accessory mode," (pushing the ignition button without a foot on the brake.) But when we then tried to start the car normally (pushing start button with foot on brake) the electrical light show resumed and alarm started up all over again. Both times this happened, by the time the tow truck arrived (1-2.5 hours) the car had "rebooted" so we just drove home. The first time this occurred, the Honda dealer had just performed the recall repair to the steering gear box 2 days before the first electrical failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | ENGINE | I have a 2024 CRV hybrid Sport L. I recently had a warranty claim, that was attributed to an issue with the throttle body. The engine reduced power and would not go over 25mph. And emissions fault was announced, which forced the turning off of all safety features of the car. I was able to drive to the dealership during non-traffic hours. I don’t know if this could mid-drive , but mine fortunately happened when I turned the car on. I got the dealership to replace the throttle body and take pictures of the problem before and after. It appears that the EGR dumps downstream of the throttle body causing the butterfly valve “pin” to corrode and that tripped an emissions fault in my car and reduced the power and limited the engine to 25mph. The car only has 15k miles on it. The replacement throttle body has no redesign. It’s identical per the dealership and Honda. And no one is able to tell me if it’s going to happen again. I used the same exact gas as every other car I drive, and I have driven in the same city environment for 10 years now. So it’s clearly a design or quality issue. Honda would not give me more information. So I was forced to take this route. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES | While stopped at a red light I thought a car was rolling back into me. I took my brain a hot second to realize maybe I was rolling forward into him? But no, I told myself, my foot was on the brake and was pushing as hard as I could once I thought it was me (yep, should have hit the parking brake, but it all happened super-fast). I rolled into him, the light turned green and he pulled ahead, I got aside him rolled window down to ask if his vehicle was standard as I was still convinced he rolled back into me. Needless to say he said no and pretty much ripped me a new asshole for tapping him - I apologized and said "i thought you rolled into me". Brake hold is always on but I was not using the hold, my foot was on the pedal (pushing like a madwoman at one point). | Crash: Yes Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The sunroof of my CR-V spontaneously exploded. I was driving on a two lane road and was not near an underpass. There were no vehicles directly in front of me. No objects were found inside the vehicle after the glass shattered. The sunroof made a popping sound and then the glass shattered. The glass blew into the car and onto myself and my passenger. I was able to slowly pull over the vehicle onto a side road. Neither my passenger, nor I, were injured by the glass. This incident could have impacted not only our safety, with the glass coming directly into the car, but could have affected the safety of any oncoming traffic if I had not controlled the vehicle. The glass could have also affected any vehicles directly behind us. I was not on a highway, but if I was, my speed would have been greater and the impact potentially more severe. I had the vehicle towed to the Honda dealer. Honda has replaced the sunroof. The Honda dealer that the vehicle was taken to has not had any other complaints about spontaneously exploding sunroofs. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | All emergency warning lights from adaptive cruise control,Automatic brake system,lane keeping alert,Forward collision warning,etc. came up on the dasboard while driving and car losing power.... | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | On [XXX] and [XXX], I was driving in the right lane in a construction zone on [XXX] in Detroit, MI when my 2024 CR-V slammed on the breaks while flashing the forward collision “break” warning on my dash. There were no cars at least 500 yards in front of me and, luckily, no one behind me. This happened by itself and no cruise control was engaged at the time. I have had this car since October 2023 and this is the first time this has happened. This was a sunny morning with temps in the low 30s. No rain and no snow. I have yet to be able to reproduce this issue and it’s unlikely that I could, since this happened under normal driving conditions. I have also not had the car inspected yet, but I will when I have the oil changed in a few weeks.

| Mar 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The drivers side mirror cracked by itself when the vehicle was parked. Honda refused to warranty the mirror | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | STRUCTURE | I am filing a complaint about the horn on this Honda CRV model. Honda, for some reason, changed the horn system to a mono note horn that is so weak it is difficult for other motorists and pedestrians to hear. The Honda dealer told me that it is supposed to sound like that and it is not defective. This weak single note horn is used in 2023 and 2024 Honda CRVs. It is referred to by fellow CRV owners on forums as a "clown car" horn. It makes a very weak "toot" and in traffic, no one seems to hear it. I feel this is a safety concern and therefore, I am reporting it to NHTSA. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | STRUCTURE,LANE DEPARTURE | Driver's side outside mirror has a complete horizontal crack without any visible sign of impact. This crack creates a "hall of mirrors" effect that impairs and obstructs my ability to see cars approaching from behind. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | SEAT BELTS | The driver seatbelt mechanism when clipped is shaped in such a way that it presses on the driver hip joint causing nerve damage, pain, numbness in the pain and back. Because of the seatbelt mechanism shape and placement, seat adjustments cannot be made sufficient to alleviate the pain without impairing the driver’s ability to see over the steering wheel and/or reach the pedals. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 Medical attention | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | On Nov. 15, 2023, this vehicle had an episode of unintended acceleration as I was pulling into our garage. This resulted in the front end of the car crashing into material that was stored against a garage wall. I contacted the dealership immediately, and the car was towed to them. They stated that no computer error codes were found. A Honda certified repair center was recommended.. The car was towed to this repair center. It cost approximately $18,000 to repair the car and took 10 weeks. I also contacted American Honda to report the issue. I was told that I should call again after the repairs were finished and that additional testing would be done. I did call Honda after the repairs were done but did not hear back from them. I drove the car from the end of January 2024 until November 2024. At that time a second episode of unintended acceleration occurred on 11-14-2024, also while I was pulling into my garage. This caused damage to the right front end of the car and to the garage wall. I feel that this car is not safe to drive. I am concerned about a recurrence of unintended acceleration putting myself and others at risk. I have elected not to have the damage from the second accident repaired since I will not be driving this car again. I contacted American Honda again after the second incident. I provided them with documentation of the damage to the car along with insurance claims and repair bills. The case is now in the mediation department at American Honda. I am waiting to hear back from them. Fortunately, I was not physically injured during either accident. The vehicle is available for inspection. The answer to the other questions is no. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |

| Mar 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER,LANE DEPARTURE | My driver's side mirror spontaneously cracked. There was no damage done to the mirror that would cause this to happen. The mirror was intact when I pulled into my garage. An hour later I left again and the side mirror was cracked top to bottom. It is not difficult to get a non- distorted view out of my driver's side mirror and I feel it impacts the BSI as well. I have an appointment on 3/20 for inspection at the dealer. There were no issues prior to this happening. My photos show that there are no nicks, scratches or anything around the mirror at all. Also the mirror is not shattered, it's simply a clean crack down the middle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving on a country road and shortly following acceleration after a left turn, the cars forward collision warning went off, but in an unusual way. It will generally beep and flash the brake signal a few times if the forward collision warning activates. This time I heard one loud beep, saw a flash of the brake signal, and then the car slammed on the brakes to a complete stop. Luckily, there was no one and no other cars around me as I was on a small road without much traffic. The car is currently at the dealership being evaluated. I have sent a request to the general manager to investigate this situation further than just a basic code run or recreation of the malfunction. I do not feel comfortable driving this car without a clear diagnoses and repair. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
