| Oct 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The left side mirror vibrates when driving over 20 mph. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | We were driving on a two lane highway from Jamestown Ca to Oakdale Ca, there were no vehicles in front of us, it was a flat stretch of highway when we heard a very loud booming bang like a gunshot. We pulled over to make sure that our backseat passenger, driver and driver side passenger were ok. We checked the outside, underneath and then noticed that the sunroof on top of the car had been damaged. On closer inspection the sun roof was shattered. We proceeded to drive and realized that the roof was noisy, so we pulled over immediately. We removed as much of the loose glass and proceeded on our way holding the sunroof door tightly so it wouldn’t come open and rain any glass down on us. We took it to the dealer that we purchased the vehicle from two weeks before to inspect and repair, there were no warning lights or indications of the issue. We never saw any debris, there were no vehicles in front of us and only a motorcycle and one other vehicle pass in the oncoming lanes few seconds before the loud boom. This was a frightening and stressful situation, we thought we had bought a safe and state of the art car that we could safely drive without endangering us our passengers or other drivers. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | When the windshield wipers are in use they fail to remove water in heavy rain reducing visibility to the point I have had to put on hazard lights and drive much more slowly which on the interstate or on two lane roads is not safe. Also when attempting to clean the windshield with the wiper and solution the design has the cleaning solution coming out of the wiper blades themselves causing most of the cleaner to be sent down the passenger side windows also the blades don’t make good contact with the windshield which leaves a lot of the “bug guts” either in place or smeared making it very very difficult to see especially when the sun hits the windowshield often to the point of almost blinding. I have had the blades replaced twice and this has not solved the problem. This design change is NOT a good one and is creating what could be a dangerous situation. My previous Honda did not have any problems with windshield wipers like this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | STEERING | Steering wheel became locked or froze up during drive. It happened several times on different days without advanced warning. Service department of dealership checked it but didn’t find anything wrong, they didn’t observe this problem during checking. But this problem persists after I drove the car back from service dept. I am so afraid that it will result in serious accidents. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | STEERING | The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The driver side mirror shakes, which makes it difficult to use, particularly at high speeds. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | STEERING,STRUCTURE | The component due to an improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel, the wheel can swell during use, reducing the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear in which this was recalled on Oct 3, 2024 but did not discovered it until Oct 13, 2024 in an incident caused by the recall. All of the sudden my steering wheel became hard to maneuver and when I had difficulty turning it, I had something from the issue, as a result the under cover of the car got damaged due this issue in which I didn’t find out when I tried to schedule a service appointment on the Honda website. No the dealer or anyone has reproduced as it was a one time incident. No there was no prior warning about the steering wheel. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | The speedometer can report zero (0) when the car is moving slowly. This is probably the rounding policy in software. The actual speed was maybe 0.4 mph, but was reported as zero mph. If the actual speed was 10.4 mph but reported as 10, fine, not a big deal, but zero has a much different meaning than any other value. It means none, that the car isn't moving, but the car was. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | Per dealer service department, cylinder one (1) rocker arm/lifter was getting stuck and caused a system and transmission failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | While I was in my apartment parking garage, I had my automatic trunk door opened. While I was standing in range, the door came down and hit me in the head. As a result I sustained a concussion. I did have the keys in my hand , so I may have accidentally activated the trunk door to close. However, my concern is that there is such sensor to stop the trunk door from continuing to close, or it doesn’t work. I called the dealer and they told me that there is sensor, but it only stops once it’s made contact. I believe this is very dangerous and should be evaluated. As I stated earlier I am now suffering from a concussion. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 Medical attention | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | 2025 Honda CRV EX-L purchased [XXX]. Unable to drive car at night due to headlights. Extremely poor illumination. I am [XXX] with 20/20 vision. The headlights on low beam barely illuminate the road. I have spent $51,000 on a car that I am unable to drive after sunset.

| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I purchased the car today, August 20, 2024. I haven’t had the car 24 hours. I drove home. I was showing someone my car. I opened the back hatch and shut it and the glass shattered. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Passenger side rear window shattered while driving. No visible reason as to why. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | STRUCTURE | Right after purchase, the hood wobbled up and down at highway speeds. When passing a semi traveling the opposite direction at 60 mph on a two lane section of road, it jumped enough to make me wonder if the latch had come loose and the hood was going to open. I notified the dealer to have it looked at and it was discovered that welds holding the hood were broken. A new hood is being ordered and it is being replaced at no charge. I am reporting this issue in case this is not an isolated incident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Purchased a new 2025 CRV Touring from EdVoylesHonda in Marietta GA on [XXX] with my hard-earned savings because my Accord was totaled in an accident. Picked it up on [XXX]. I found a safety issue where CarPlay is not playing audio output from any Maps (Apple/ Google/ Waze) if I’m in on a call. Apple designed the Apple Maps to chime if anyone is in a call while using CarPlay. I brought up this issue on 5/25 to the dealer but was told it’s an expected behavior. Not satisfied with the answer, I went to HondaConyersGA to do some digging and found that this issue doesn’t apply to Android Auto and any lower trim (ie. Sport L). The issue is consistent across 2023-2025 CRV Touring trim. I went back to EdVoylesHonda service on [XXX] and [XXX] only to be discredited on my findings, and the service manager said that it might be a compatibility issue with Bose speakers. It was deemed normal since all Gen 6 Touring has the same behavior. I was also told that the turn-by-turn also plays on the screen and should be keeping an eye on the screen instead. This is disturbing because I’m trying to limit my attention to the screen as much as possible, and sounds like a safety issue. A ticket was also opened with Honda Customer Service on 5/28, but haven’t heard any statement or a path to move forward since the case manager said that they can only document the issue. Either Honda needs to take the car back and let me get a car that’s working or have a commitment to resolve this issue.
