2022 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

On two separate occasions, the Honda CR-V brakes automatically engaged very abruptly for no reason. The dealership indicated that it is a known problem and that there is nothing that can be done to disengage the Automatic Emergency Braking. The vehicle has NOT been inspected. No warning or message was evident prior to, during or immediately after the incidents.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the contact’s daughter’s head had got stuck in the window. The contact’s grandmother attempted to lower the window, but the window failed to roll down. When the window was finally rolled down, the contact’s daughter was unconscious. The contact’s daughter needed CPR and was left with bruising on her neck and upper back. The contact’s daughter received medical attention in the ER. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

When driving, the steering "sticks" when making a left turn. You have to forcefully turn it back to the right to straighten the vehicle out. It has been doing this for about 6 months, but has progressively gotten worse. The issue was confirmed at the Honda dealer service shop where we purchased the vehicle. They told us it would cost $2,960 to have it repaired. They said it was the electronic steering gear. The car is out of warranty because of mileage, even though we purchased it new in September of 2022. The service rep said he has at least 10 others waiting on the same repair.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became abnormally stiff, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the EPS gearbox needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin Number: 22-011. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

The steering wheel will freeze up, and I have to forcibly jerk the wheel to the opposite direction to return directional control. This typically happens at freeway speeds in sweeping right hand turns. This problem has gotten worse over time. Problem not common in left hand turns, or at lower speeds.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds under 40 MPH, the brake was independently activated. The contact stated that the brake now message was displayed on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the dust or dirt on the milliliter wave radar needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

2 issues: 1. Automatic Emergency Braking started braking randomly when there was no danger at all. 2. Got Lane Departure Warning a few times, when the vehicle actually stayed in the lane.

My car has rust on mos of the entire interrior of the car. Underneath the dash, the seat rails and metal pieces that attach the gas pedal and brakes

I have 9,000 miles on my vehicle. The driver seat belt stopped latching during a drive .

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the vehicle temporarily lost motive power. The contact stated that upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently while turning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

The sunroof exploded as I was driving. There were no cars around me. Glass blew outward and I was concerned about any cars that would follow. I took photos and then took the car into my Honda dealer. They claim a rock hit it. I know that could not have happened. The car is only 6 months old. There was no warning before it happened. If I had the sunroof open, glass could have affected me and/or my passenger. My insurance agent has also seen the photos. The sunroof is being replaced today, a month after it exploded. I had to cover the opening with plastic sheeting and painters tape to keep the area dry.

Automatic Emergency Braking\Forward Collision Warning. I've got this vehicle as a brand-new about 10 months ago. Since fall 2022 there were several wrong BRAKE notifications on IP cluster screen with beeping signal while the road was clear, empty with no no precipitation weather. Probably the hill-like road surface can be a reason. Today it is sunny. My lane was clean and empty. In the left U-turn lane was a Chevrolet Tahoe or similar GMC vehicle with rear radar device noticable by rear bumper shape (it could be a reason of incident). When I was accelerating and getting closer to that vehicle but staying in my lane, my vehicle unexpectedely automatically used brackes for couple seconds until - I assume - the left vehicle has been passed or it just drove out. Several hours later my chest still aching besause of seatbelt hit. I saw similar complains at NHTSA so I was kind of ready to that...

My car has slammed on the brakes 3 times since May 5 for no reason causing the tires to squall and throw me into the wheel.

Driving N on Hwy US-24 in Redford MI near Detroit Diesel at approx 45mph on Sun morning 4/30/2023, the moonroof exploded and shattered glass fell onto driver and front seat passenger. Shattered glass also broke loose and fell to rear of vehicle, causing car behind us to avoid debris by changing lane. The sudden failure of sun/moonroof was without warning, no apparent object struck it, we were not passing under a bridge. The loud boom of explosion was alarming to driver and passenger. The shade was open and we quickly closed it to stop more broken glass from falling onto us. It was raining, approximately 40-45 deg F outside, the car interior temp was 68 deg F. We made temporary repair with cardboard and emergency rain poncho to close opening in roof. We proceeded home at 30-40mph. I collected broken glass by hand, then vacuumed all interior surfaces thoroughly; found no foreign object that could have struck glass. We contacted dealer Monday reporting problem. Dealer stated Honda unlikely to cover glass under warranty claim. Dealer stated there was no recall, technical bulletin or product update concerning sun/moonroofs spontaneously exploding. Dealer did contact Honda and replacement was made under warranty as 'goodwill.' We are happy Honda covered cost of replacement, but did not acknowledge any material defect, workmanship or safety issue. Vehicle is kept in garage when home and open parking lot at work; to our knowledge the roof glass panel was not compromised by any object hitting or scratching it. This is a safety issue: roof glass panels should not explode without warning and broken glass fall on driver or passengers under normal vehicle operation. The loud noise at failure is distracting to driver. Further, broken glass may fall to rear of vehicle. These glass panels' failure mode should be similar to that of front windshield where broken glass retains some integrity. Until then, consumers should be advised, shades closed and emergency closure kits issued.

I was driving in slow-moving traffic (about 10 or 15 mph) as there were several police officers walking in the shoulder to the right of traffic. The brakes suddenly and strongly engaged for no reason. There was no steel plate in the road, no slowed or stopped vehicle or pedestrian in my path. As far as I know the brake warning light did not come on. The abrupt braking caused my neck and back to hurt, and I thought I had hit a child or a dog. As I looked behind me there was clearly nothing in my lane. I could have been rear-ended but was not.

Driver seat is loose and rocking under acceleration

Parts not staying together

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 40-45 MPH, the vehicle buzzed and came to a complete stop with the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) engaged. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and was able to continue driving. The contact stated that there were no vehicles or objects nearby the vehicle at the time of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure occurred despite turning off the CMBS. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,457.

The car intermittently slams on the brakes, often at high speeds, and the brakes sticks, leaving me potentially unable to avoid a rear-end collision. This has happened twice with no obstacle in front of the vehicle in the last month and once within the last month where an obstacle was ahead but at a far enough distance the AES should not have been triggered, let alone stick. The front sensors (behind the rear view mirror and behind the Honda logo on the grill) have been inspected for damage by the dealership and user. They are in perceivably good working condition. This problem appears to be connected to a similar malfunction with LKAS, in which the system is turned off (according to the vehicle displays and verified by following owner manual instructions) and the car is driven on a surface with no lanes (I.e. a dirt road) and LKAS indicates there is a lane departure. There is no option to turn either system completely off, which leaves the driver with no recourse in the event these systems malfunction.

There have been approximately 10 times I was driving my CRV and was exiting the interstate onto the exit ramp with no cars in front of me and the automatic brakes came on attempting to stop my car for no reason. I took it to my local Honda dealership and told them what had happened and they said there was nothing they could do about it. This is a dangerous issue and could easily cause an accident.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, an abnormal, knocking noise was coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that the oil level was low. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure due to a lack of engine oil. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

Unknown- I did receive a letter appears to be from Honda Automobile Division stating a EPS Gearbox Replacement. NHTSA website didn't have any recalls for my 2022 Honda CR-V. Honda dealership didn't appear knowledgeable with the recall and said they haven't had anyone else come in for the repair. Is it a legitimate recall?

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds on twelve occasions and changing lanes, the brakes unintendedly inadvertently activated, and the vehicle then returned to normal operation. The brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

While driving with a passenger across Salt Lake City on I-15 yesterday, going the speed limit and no surrounding vehicles, the passenger window imploded into a million tiny pieces sending glass all over the passenger and even as far as the driver (me). We did not see any evidence of a rock or other object hitting the window and there wasn't anything unusual inside the car. The outside temperature was 30 degrees and the car had been in a heated garage all night. The passenger had cuts on his hands, but he was wearing sun glasses which protected his eyes. He had glass pieces all over him. I honestly believe this was a spontaneous event, but I suppose there is a remote chance that a rock could have hit the window. But there weren't any cars in the area or overpasses.

I was driving on the highway, the traffic is at 70 mph plus and there was not a car in front of me and my car just brakes. I was nearly rear ended because of this. I have taken it in and reported it to the dealership service but they stated that they could not reproduce the issue. Also, the car squeaks anytime you make a turn and sometimes while driving. The infotainment also has blacked out and rebooted while I was driving . The TPSM light comes on and the air in the tire pressure has not changed.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at approximately 2 MPH, and parking her vehicle with her foot depressing the brake pedal. She had pulled into a parking spot, front end in, when the vehicle unexpectedly revved and lurched forward. The contact stated that the vehicle jumped the parking curb and crashed into a wall. The contact stated that the air bags deployed. The contact stated that the front end, bumper and grill, on the passenger side had hit the wall first due to the angle of the parking spot. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The contact stated that her insurance provider would send an adjuster to examine the vehicle. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

When I tried to reverse the car the car went forward. I put the car in park and tried to reverse again the car went forward again, I tried one more time and the car went forward while in reverse. I shut the car off and gave it a few minutes, I turned it back on and tried one more time and the car finally reversed. R was indicated on the dashboard and the reverse camera was on while the car was driving forward.

The contact's daughter owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked during hot weather conditions, the interior of the vehicle would get hot, causing the lane departure feature to malfunction. The lane departure warning light illuminated and beeped. The failure caused distractions while driving and failed to deactivate until the vehicle cooled down. The contact stated that her daughter turned on the A/C to cool down the vehicle to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front camera system needed to be replaced; however, replacement parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,850.

Air bag light on dashboard turns on and won’t turn off. Honda in Valencia, CA looked at vehicle and stated nothing could be done.

I was driving at about 40-45 MPH on a clear road - nothing in front of me, nothing in back. Suddenly the car, on its own, deployed the breaks very hard. It happened without warning. If there had been a car in back of me there would have been no time for that car to stop. My head whipped forward and back. The airbag was not deployed. I was not injured but very shaken up. I want to repeat that there was nothing in front of me that the breaks would need to be deployed. This could have been a life-threatening disaster.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while reversing out of her parking lot, the vehicle made an abnormal sound while depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed but no issues were found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Consumer sates the incidents occurred before Aug. 2022. Actual incident date not received.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while his wife was reversing, she heard a loud noise and notice that all 4 driveshaft bolts had detached from the vehicle. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home safely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the front section of the driveshaft was not properly tightened. The bolts were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 5,123.v

Brakes are applied at a slow and fast speed for no reason. Also the touch screen turns off or loses view while driving and car is sluggish when you excelerate the gas peddle.

I purchased a new Honda CR-V EXL AWD in Jan 2022 and it has only 1971 miles. Now, the transmission is completely dead with these miles. The dealership informed me that this requires a new transmission which is covered under Honda warranty. The strange thing is that I didn't receive any warning or notification in my dashboard that transmission is getting bad/worse. Luckily, the car was stopped on a residential county road but I can't imagine if the power is getting dropped and stopped on the freeway without any warning. This is one of the biggest safety concerns and this would be a life threatening incident. I have already owned a Honda civic in the past and never had any issue, but I was highly disappointed with this incident and lost confidence with Honda. Please refund my money back :-( What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request ? Ans: Transmission failed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Ans: The transmission failed without any warning and the vehicle stopped completely on the road, which is a life threatening issue, if that happens on the freeway/highways. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?  Ans: UNKNOWN Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Ans: This is a brand new vehicle which was bought in Jan 2022 and has 1971 miles on it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Ans: No warning or indications.

When buckling my 3 kids in this newly purchased car I noticed the middle seat belt latch and the driver side passenger latches are flipped which results in seatbelts crisscrossing when both buckled. This means this supposedly “5 seater” car cannot safely buckle each seat making it a 4 seater car. Problem can be fixed if the belt buckles are flipped around.

Intermittantly I receive a message on my car stating there is a problem with the CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) It comes and goes. I am afraid that it will brake when it shouldn't and cause an accident. I took it to the dealership last week on 06/02/2022 and they said there is a problem with the radar/camera system and ordered replacement parts. There are flashing it lights that come on the instrument panel and flash so fast you cannot read them and then a message popped up on my radio screen saying there is an issue with CMBS. I have a video and pictures showing this. Dealership said it is safe to drive until parts are recieved.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer stated that the front camera radar needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the part would be available in two weeks. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000.

The car started sounding an alarm and flashing an idiotic warning message that says "Adaptive Cruise Control Problem". Yes it said "problem." It also flashed a message that said "BRAKE SYSTEM." I called the dealer and they instructed me how to turn off Adaptive Cruise Control, and it did NOT stop the alarm and the flashing messages. They told me it was ok to drive and to bring it in to the dealer. I did that. Had to get ride so I could leave the car. The alarm stopped on the way to the dealer. The next day they told me they could not find what was wrong with the car, but it was ok to drive, and it if happened again, take a video. If they didn't know what was wrong with the car, HOW DID THEY KNOW IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE? I picked up the car and a couple days later it did the same thing. Even turning the car off and cranking it back up would not make it stop. I did stop and take videos of the flashing messages, which are attached here, and also sent them to the dealer. I took the car in and they said they got the videos, and they would now be able to fix it. The next day they said come pick it up, but said they THOUGHT it needed the front radar/camera replaced but they did not have one. They said it would be July before they could get the part. But they continued to say it is safe to drive. Since then, it had done this several more times, and I took videos again. Those are attached as well. They called today and said it would be August before they could get the parts. I strongly suspect that they do not actually know what it wrong, and that they have not done any actual microelectronic or software troubleshooting, and they are just guessing that this part will fix it. I am now forced to drive a car that is questionably safe. I mean, when an alarm sounds and a warning light flashes that says "BRAKE SYSTEM" how can it be safe to drive?

This car, along with 3 others in my neighborhood were stolen on the same night. Why was it so easy for the thieves to steal these cars? There is a security issue that must be addressed asap.

I just bought (last month) a new, 2022 Honda CR-V-EX-L. I have always been a Honda girl, and decided it was time for a new car and bought another Honda…..my 3rd CR-V (I also had a pilot). Anyways, I just bought this car last month. It is a beautiful car, but I feel it’s dangerous for two reasons. The biggest concern is that the hood was redesigned from previous models that I had, and now the sides of the hood protrudes higher than the rest of the hood, making it quite difficult to see over the hood, particularly going around turns and up hills. Which is a huge safety issue. And you may be thinking, why don’t I just lift the seat……well the seat is as high as it goes (a definite flaw), so that is of no help. Secondly, the audio system is definitely a hazard. The touch screen does not always work, and you may have to push on the screen several times before getting it to work, thus distracting the driver. Additionally, when talking to people on Bluetooth and one party hangs up, the phone does not go back to the radio automatically, and you have to keep touching the touchscreen to get you back to what you were on prior to the call. Definitely another safety issue. That being said, I am mostly worried about the hood issue. I do not feel safe continuing to drive my brand new Honda, which is really sad, since I buy Honda's because of their safety ratings. If this is an issue for me, I am sure this an issue for others, and likely has already contributed to accidents.

There were no cars in front of mine when the ABS system suddenly braked very hard. The car behind me had to slam on brakes to avoid rear ending me. This car is 3 weeks old and this is very scary.

The heating system on the vehicle is insufficient. The cabin does not warm up when idling in the winter. Defrosting on cold days becomes an issue which creates a potential hazard for visibility. The red bar on the temperature guage will not appear when idling and the temperature rises and the red bar appears only after the car has been driven. Searching online on this issue indicates this is an issue where many CRV owners have had this weak heating system issue. I contacted the dealer and they said "Yes we are aware of that. And that's the way it is and nothing can be done about it." So there appears to be no intent by Honda to address this weak heating system issue which is a big problem in winter weather. Thus my filing this complaint. Honda should perform a recall and correct this problem.

I have a 2022 Honda CRV EX, the emergency braking system activates at random times and could cause a wreck.

-the car is rolling right and left even during the lane keeping assistance is on. -the driver seat started to deteriorate. -the air-condition compressor start to be noisy, no enough cooling even though it was winter season. - during the moderate bad weather all driver assist system cannot operate, while my last vehicle was better ( Hyundai elantra). - remote start engine does not work properly, while other cars is working ( same model, and same distance and direction)

When I put my child’s car set in the middle, or anyone sitting in my back middle seat the person sitting on the left hand side can not buckle there seat belt because the way that the buckles are put in it has to cross over the buckle for the middle seat. I brought it to the dealership they said there is nothing they can do to fix it that’s how all the models are made. It’s not safe and not convenient. I only realized this recently when I had my most recent child and actually needed to use all 3 seats with car seats.

I am experiencing steering wheel sticking and clunkig after the car warms up and typically 40 minutes into the drive. The dealership has denied this and claimed it was a low voltage issue with the battery. While turning in a gentle curve it sticks and requires more effort to steer and also makes a clucking sound. I am concerned about the ability to control my vehicle and that if the steering sticks I may crash. I have reported the issue with Honda but they say that all I can do is take the car to the dealership for diagnostics. Two different dealerships have had it for extended times and claimed nothing is wrong however I have video of me driving and this occuring on multiple occassions. Honda's denial of this issue will cause injuries to bystanders. No warning lights have come on. The issues began in november of 2023 and are progressively getting worse.

Bases on owners and NHTSA investagations my 2022Honda CRV Hybrid is experiencing whats known as "sticky steering" there is a recall but my car is not in it but it is doing just that so if someone could help getting this fixed I would greatly appreciate it.Thank you for your time.
