2023 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

I was contacted about a gearbox active recall by Honda in November of 2024 and was told to go to a dealer and get it fixed. I have called the dealership several times only to be told that Honda has a fix but has not sent the correct parts to the dealerships to complete the fix. It has been more than 60 days since the notice.

My local dealer has failed to remedy the defect on my vehicle within a reasonable period of time. It has now been 4 months since I first contacted my dealership about the issue but I have yet to be addressed.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had 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.

(1) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling specific 2023-2025 CR-V vehicles due to a defect in the steering gearbox worm wheel. This improperly produced component may swell during use, which compromises the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear. Furthermore, the worm gear's spring preload was set too high, escalating the sliding force between these parts. Consequently, the combination of reduced grease film and increased friction leads to greater resistance during steering. Safety Risk The heightened friction between the worm gear and worm wheel results in increased steering effort and difficulty, significantly elevating the risk of a crash or injury. (2) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is urgently recalling certain 2023-2025 multi-model year Honda vehicles due to critical defects in the high-pressure fuel pump. The improper production has led to the formation of cracks at the solenoid core component, which can result in a dangerous fuel leak during operation, especially in lower mileage vehicles. Safety Risk The presence of a fuel leak poses an extreme risk, as it can ignite in the presence of an ignition source. This scenario significantly heightens the risk of fire, crash, or serious injury, demanding immediate attention and action. I contacted the American Findlay Honda Management Department in Henderson, Nevada, only to be hit with a stark refusal; they will not place me in a new 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. As a long-time customer, I felt utterly bewildered and crushed by this response. Just weeks ago, they aggressively pushed this specific vehicle to me, fully aware that significant recalls were on the horizon. This is not just terrible news—it’s a blatant betrayal by management! I am seriously contemplating legal action against American Honda and Findlay Honda in Henderson, Nevada. Their actions scream deceit and predation; they are nothing less than crooks and sharks

Drove car for about 10 minutes, parked car while the engine was still running (approx 5 minutes) then began driving on 25 mph roadway with light traffic (4 lane road). After driving for a couple of minutes, I could no longer accelerate to maintain the speed, all the warning lights came on the instrument panel (see attached pictures for some of the alert messages), and a message came on the dash that said something along the lines that get off the roadway immediately but safely. Upon finding a parking lot about 0.5 mile away, it was very difficult to slow down as brake pedal felt hard- I had to slam on the brakes for it to begin coasting to a stop. Once parked, I turned off the car. When turning on the car again, all the warning lights came on and warning messages started to cycle through on the dash. My safety and the safety of others were greatly affected as I could not stop the vehicle adequately. When towed to the Honda dealership, the dealership was unable to reproduce the symptoms. The Honda Dealership said they would not diagnose the vehicle since it was modified by a QAP mobility equipment dealer. When towed to the mobility dealer, who installed adaptive equipment, they too were unable to reproduce the symptoms. The vehicle was inspected but no issues found with adaptive equipment. See attached invoices and photos of the warning lights.

I went into the Honda of Seattle dealership to repair the #QJT 2023-25 CR-V EPS Grbx Greasing Saf Rec (NHTSA#24V-744) and the #PJW 2023-25 Multi-Model High-Pressure Fuel Pump Stop Sale (NHTSA#PENDING) issues. The service desk informed me that no work could be performed until the parts are delivered to the dealership. I purchased the vehicle from this same dealership. My car sputtered and lost speed for several seconds during a drive in Summer 2023. I had to let go of the gas before the car returned to normal operation. I did not know it at the time but it was most likely caused by the fuel pump defect. I thought it was related to one of the other 2 recalls for the vehicle around the same time. There were many cars driving near me. We were going around a curvy and windy road. I must move from Seattle to Oklahoma City immediately. However, I can't now since it is unsafe to drive my vehicle with a fuel pump and steering defect. I'm unable to extend my accommodations in Washington and so may be forced to drive a long distance in an unsafe vehicle.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel seized with no warning light illuminated. The contact stated the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact also noticed a strong gas-like smell coming from the vehicle with no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,500. Parts distribution disconnect.

Manufacturer refuses to fix open recalls via its dealer network. I have been calling my local Honda dealer, Wolfchase Honda in Bartlett, TN (ZIP: 38133) for almost two months asking them to fix my vehicle. They tell me they do not have the parts for either the steering gearbox recall (NHTSA recall number: 24V-744) or the fuel pump recall (NHTSA recall number: 24V-763) and to call back. When I call back they tell me then tell me they have given all the parts to other customers, despite having promised me a call back and my having called repeatedly to schedule service over the past two months. I recently spoke with American Honda and they confirmed that limited part availability is NOT mentioned in their recall bulletins, i.e., that part availability should not be an issue. The potentially faulty steering and propulsion system endanger myself and my two year old son every day as I take him to day care and the systems are at risk of failing and causing a crash. American Honda appears interested in resolving the recall, but Wolfchase Honda, their local dealer in Bartlett, TN, refuses to provide required recall service.

The windshield wipers do not remove water and always leave a film. This film will not go away with defrost, extra cleaning, washer fluid. I replaced the blades and still the reflective film remains. It is extremely hazardous to drive because all light reflects off the film and horribly impairs vision. Honda refuses responsibility. Also, the washer fluid does not clean windows either. Dust also becomes highly reflective with light and horribly impairs vision. Someone needs to fix this asap or there will be multiple accidents. I am not the only one with this dangerous problem.

At startup, routinely see the following messages: Lane keeping assist problem Road departure mitigation system problem Collision mitigation breaking system problem I have taken the car into multiple Honda dealers this year to fix the issue. The first told me I needed to have the Body Control Module replaced, and that the can could try and communicate with the key fob constantly, risking battery drain and posing a safety issue. The part was replaced, but the issue persisted. I then opened a case with Honda corporate, Case #: 14639406. This dealer said there was a "short" in the multipurpose camera and replaced that part. 2 months later, the issues came back.

While driving the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged for no reason. I was driving on [XXX] in NJ when another car passed me on the right . My car slammed the brakes on. The other car did not get in front of me but stayed in the right lane. If traffic was heavy this could have caused a major accident. Another instance I was driving on [XXX]. in Manahawkin, NJ and going around a bend in the road there was a parked car. My car slammed the brakes on. This has happened several other times also for no reason. Each time a warning sound went off. I brought the car in for service and reported it to Honda. They inspected it doing some type of scan and said there was no problem. The service advisor showed me how to turn the system off if I didn't feel safe. Yes my car is available for inspection and I am attaching the service report showing I did report it. I'm writing you because I read an article showing you are looking into this in other Honda cars and my car is not listed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On several occasions the automatic emergency braking system on my vehicle has engaged for no reason. The vehicle applies the brake quickly with nothing in front or to the side of the vehicle. This sudden braking has almost caused me to be rear ended and has also caused a slight case of whiplash. I’ve contacted my Honda dealer and while they say they’ve had complaints I am told there’s nothing in the works to remedy the issue. I was told to clean my vehicle front sensors (which were not dirty at the time of these instances) and that’s all I could do. This has happened multiple times throughout my ownership of this vehicle with the last incident occurring in late September of this year.

A week ago the steering system started malfunctioning on my 2023 Honda CR-V. While driving on straight and level highways at between 35 to 60 mph, the steering wheel seems to be "sticking" or encountering an obstruction causing occasional overcorrection resulting in almost hitting traffic in the adjacent lane, especially on narrow roads. There are no warning lights or messages related to this condition.

I was driving over a bridge and the steering seemed to lock in place. I could not move to the right or left, the steering wheel felt "stuck". I then proceeded to a rotary and was steering to the left but the car seemed to go to the right and would not allow me to continue to the left. Again the steering wheel felt stuck and was very difficult to move. I have had a few other incidents when I felt the car was moving to right or left making it difficult for me to steer. I had assumed it had to do with lane assist but I do not usually have this feature turned on. The vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance. There was no warning lights. This issue began a few week ago, end of August 2024.

At highway speeds the steering wheel almost feels like it locks in place and need to give it a tug to get it to move. The steering wheel does not feel fluid, more mechanical like gears are locking up. I am afraid it may completely lock up and I will not be able to control the vehicle.

At high speeds, hood vibrates and moves abnormally up and down. The hood wobbles at highway or interstate speeds

When driving at speeds of 40+ mph, I am experiencing stickiness from the steering wheel when attempting to turn the wheel. The steering wheel feels like it is stuck for a second when you start to turn the wheel and then it will turn as normal. This is happening consistently for about 2 months now.

The vehicle's 12V starting battery was completely discharged after sitting unused for 3 weeks. The vehicle was stored indoors during the month of August 2024. The vehicle was located in Minnesota. The 2024 August MN monthly average temperature was in the mid 70's F. The discharge happened again after the vehicle was jumped and run. See the attached dealer invoice for additional details. The vehicle was taken to the local Honda dealer. No problem found. The dealer stated this is normal vehicle behavior. The vehicle was purchased in May 2023 and has less than 14,000 miles. I believe this is a safety issue because I don't trust the vehicle to start after very short storage periods during the winter or as the battery reaches the end of its service life. The loss of battery reserve capacity is 50% at -20F and 20% at 0F. An industry accepted norm for the service life of a 12V battery is that it reserve capacity has decreased to 40% of new. I worry that the vehicle may not start after less than one week of storage under these conditions. Honda Corp. does not publish battery storage guidelines in the owners manual. Honda Corp. and the dealer were requested multiple times to produce documentation on battery storage guidelines. They were unable or unwilling to do so. The Honda dealer did not provide education on vehicle storage as part of the sales process. I do worry about being stranded in our harsh upper Midwest winters during potentially life threatening temperatures. I firmly believe this issue is a design defect with either the vehicle's power management strategy, the battery sizing, or a combination of both. I request your help to investigate this issue and have Honda provide a corrective action.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 15-20 MPH and attempting to come to a complete stop, the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. As a result, the driver briefly lost control of the vehicle before coming to a complete stop by intentionally running into a curb on the side of the roadway. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V588000 (Power Train), but the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. A police report was filed, but no injuries were reported. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,000.

The steering is sticking and feels loose. Sticking feels like a ratchet. We have only 6000 miles on our car. This issue started about 500 miles ago.

Steering is sometimes sticky with the steering wheel reluctant to return to the centered position at low (10MPH) and moderate speeds (30-45MPH). Additional modest force is needed to overcome the stickiness to drive the vehicle normally.

I purchased a 2023 Honda CR-V LX from Serra Champaign Honda on August 9th. As soon as I drove on the highway, I noticed that the side mirrors were shaking excessively. The driver's side mirror shakes violently at speeds above 50-60 mph, while the passenger side mirror shows minor vibrations at speeds above 70 mph. This causes a severely distorted view, leading to dizziness and nausea, making driving extremely difficult and dangerous. Additionally, the problem is exacerbated at night due to the lights. I was extremely frustrated and upset upon discovering this issue immediately after purchasing the vehicle. I have found that many other customers are experiencing the same problem, and I have learned that there is no recall issued yet. I am reporting this issue to Honda for urgent attention. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The side mirror has issues. It is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Driving at high speeds on the highway made the vehicle very dangerous due to the excessive shaking of the side mirrors. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I reported the issue to the dealership, and they acknowledged it but mentioned that it has not been officially recalled yet. They said they would check what can be done under warranty. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The Honda dealership service center has examined the vehicle, but the issue cannot be fully understood without driving the car at high speeds. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or messages appeared. The severity and danger of the problem can only be realized through actual driving.

The driver's side mirror repeatedly shakes at speeds above 40 MPH and is very prolific at highway speeds (especially 70 MPH). It is extremely disorientating and makes it difficult when trying to get an accurate read of surroundings when changing lanes. I had the mirror glass replaced at a dealer, which only made the issue worse. Another dealer replaced the entire mirror assembly, which seemed to solve the problem temporarily. However, it resumed less than a month later and may even be getting worse.

At moderate highway speeds, the steering sticks and jerks occasionally. Makes the car unstable when this happens.

The contact owned a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving on a busy four-lane highway. The contact stated that at one point the vehicle was on two wheels to avoid crashing into a truck. The contact stated that his foot was on the brake pedal during the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The was afraid of driving the vehicle and the vehicle was traded-in. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 22,472.

Steering system is sticky. It can feel like the steering wheel temporarily locks. It takes more effort to turn the wheel.

After filling up with fuel my vehicle wreaks of gasoline fumes for hours in the passenger compartment. There are no warning lights or open recalls. Issue is common it looked up online. This started about a year after owning the vehicle.

In the past few weeks, the vehicle accelerated (engine revved) when releasing the gas pedal. This has happened 4 times. The first 3 times was when driving the vehicle on the road. I have taken the vehicle in twice to the dealership and they were not able to reproduce or diagnose the problem. The 4th incident occurred as the vehicle was pulling into a parking space. when the gas pedal was released, the vehicle engine revved and lurched forward. Slamming on the brakes ,hard, averted a collision with a car in the space in front of the space we were trying to park in. It is only a matter of time before this condition causes an accident.

At 9K miles excessive noise, sounds like a helicopter. Dealership confirmed all four tires were scalped, did an alignment and thought it might correct the problem. It has not, both the dealer and Corporate Honda refused to correct. Adaptive Cruise Control malfunction, major safety hazard. When engaged the car unexpectedly stops at all speeds on highway or rural roads, with no cars in sight in front of the vehicle. Have experienced multiple incidents or near rear end collisions because of abrupt braking. When brought to dealer they claimed they couldn't find any error codes, thought that maybe dirt was on the two radar sensing units... not the case, still continues to be an issue. Car turns off unexpectedly... on an on ramp to a highway, traffic was stopped. When traffic started moving the car turned off completely... warning light stated see dealer. Put the car in park and restarted vehicle, brought to dealer who claimed no error codes. All the above happened at the 9K miles, none of the major safety hazard issues were confirmed by the dealer or Corporate Honda. Am at a loss as to next steps. Please advise, thanks.

I was rear ended in an accident. My seat back broke and the metal frame twisted. When j came down my back hit the middle of the bolstered side of the seat.

Sticky steering- The steering fork is not consistent as you increase the driving speed . You are constantly adjusting the steering wheel to correct for direction. However, instead of a smooth turn of the steering wheel, the turn feels like you have hit a flat spot on a gear causing you to over steer! In reading comments on the CR-V Owners Club web blog, a writer referenced NHTSA case #EA230003, rack and pinion defect in which parts are NOT avaible until September, 2024.

1. Piston rod broke and made a hole in the engine. 2. I was driving and lost the ability to continue to drive on a busy street. 3. Yes. Honda Burien in Washington inspected and reported it to Honda of America. 4. There was a warning that I was overdue for 10K maintenance. I was overdue by a little over 200 miles. No other warning signals were given.

I went to Honda to get my car serviced & I told them i was experiencing my steering wheel sticking every time I drive & make turns or change lanes. Sometimes the car will notify me to brake but there is nothing Infront of me & the vehicle. The dealership told me that they had never heard of such thing that the steering wheel sticking. They informed me that there was a back order on this car part & unable to tell me when they would receive it. In the meantime, I have to drive with a defective car & hoping nothing happens to me while Im driving. They didnt even have any sympathy or say sorry. It's disappointing that honda doesnt offer a loaner that would be the least they can do. I've waited over a month to get the car fixed. I had been so scared driving my car to & from work always getting stuck. I finally got a call that they received the steering wheel part and that i need to come in right away. It took more than a month to get it fixed. This should not have been happening and I was so surprised they knew about this issue before leasing this car to me, putting me & my family in danger.

STICKY/CATCHING STEERING

i was driving from my late sister's house in Kent Washington to the AgriShop Auburn Ace Hardware on [XXX]. I was stopped in the left turn lane headed westbound on [XXX] , preparing to turn left onto [XXX] . The left turn light turned green, I started through the intersection. At that point, the steering locked and all the warning lights on the dash came on. I tried to steer the car, but the steering was locked. The warning lights on the dash included one that indicated a power steering failure, but it also kept switching to every other electronic system warning they had failed, making the warning useless. Thankfully, the oncoming traffic was still stopped at a red light. I turned the engine off, re-started the car. The warning lights remained, but the steering was no longer locked. I drove the remaining few blocks to the hardware store. I got what I needed at the store, re-started the car and the warning lights remained. I contacted the nearest Honda dealer, Hinshaw Honda, and took the car directly to them, a distance of 2 miles. Halfway to the dealer, all the warning lights went off and the car performed as if nothing had happened. The dealer did diagnostic testing, it took about 90 minutes, and the service advisor came out and told me that they could not diagnose the problem and planned to send me on my way doing nothing. I told them that was unacceptable, that, if I had been turning in front of oncoming traffic, this could have been a disaster. The service manager stepped in, asked me to leave the car, they would look further into the problem. That afternoon they called, indicated the power steering system had failed and ordered a part. On may 23rd the car was repaired, the service report is attached. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Steering wheel makes a clunk noise when moving left to right and also the Steering gets stiffer, sticks and feels notchy. Car was taken to Honda dealer and upon their inspection I was told that Steering Rack is sticking internally and Honda special ordered a replacement rack on May-15th but currently part is on BackOrder with No ETA.

The steering is sticking in a range about 5 to 25 degrees on turning to either side. Most often felt when driving into a curve on the left side. Can feel it get stuck as you come out of curve back into a straight away, However, you can feel it sticking even when making gentle steering corrections on a straight away. My concern is reading that you have been investigating this in other Honda models including my own model and year, and that there have been issues with crashes. I am seeing the dealer on Tuesday to report the problem.

It's happened 3 times now. Car "phantom breaks" at highway speeds. Clear and open road. Then every single warning light the car has comes on. When you lose power, you can accelerate. Last time it happened I was nearly rear ended by 2 cars. Honda cannot figure it out. They keep putting bandaids on this issue but the reality is they can't duplicate and more of the same issues are popping up online from 6th generation owners. The CRV has a major issue. It's only a matter of time before there is another recall. I want to start the lemon process as Honda has had my car for more than a month and on 3 different occasions and cannot give me an answer. It's all fluff, pushing me closer and closer to my warranty expiring. Picture submitted shows all warning lights. I

STEERING IS JERKY WILL . PULL TO THE RT AND LEFT WHILE DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEEDS, STEERING IS NOT SMOOTH AND DIRECT TURNING. ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HONDA AND THEY ARE GOING TO ORDER A POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. UP TO 4 + MONTHS WAITING TO GET REPLACED .... CAN THIS BE SAFE TO DRIVE FOR NEXT 4+ MONTHS?

I purchased 2023 Honda CRV AWD LX [XXX]. I took the vehicle to Honda World 1 Auto Center Drive, Louisville, Ky 40299. Advisor is Kathy Schnapp. She informed me there were metal shavings in the rear differential. Replacing the fluid is not covered under warranty. The issue is not that it is not covered but Ms Schnapp stated most Honda CRVs with All Wheel Drive experience metal shavings in the rear differential. I am wondering if the NHTSA has been notified of this and why there has not been more warning of this problem and recalls issued to repair them. What rights do I have about resolving this especially if it's common? I appreciate any information on this. Thank you....

increased steering effort and “sticky steering” while driving especially on highways.

While driving in cruise control on two lane roads, vehicle will brake hard during curves and going up rolling hill sections even if there are no vehicles or obstructions ahead. This vehicle experienced an overheated camera system at 4500 miles and was in the shop for 3 months for repair. The above described condition occurred before complete camera failure made all safety features not function. So it could be a camera failure is beginning again, or there is an inherent defect in camera or software that powers the braking.

When driving, the steering wheel feels like it is catching on something. It will hit a sticky point of resistance then it will break loose. Most noticeable while highway driving. It is constant and does not go away. 04

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - The adaptive cruise control and emergency braking. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - The system is reading that other cars on my passenger side usually or coming on or off the exit ramps on the interstate as cars in front of me. In turn the system directs the car to slow down and then at some points break hard while driving at highway speeds. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - The technician at the Honda dealer told me just to turn it off as its better to have it off than on. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - There has not been an accident as of current that would warrant an inspection. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - The adaptive showing the car in front, showing the word BRAKE on the mini dash and then you can also feel the gradual to almost complete stop of the car when this occurs. The main place to see is the outline will fill up as if a car is in front, but one is not.

Steering feels notchy when turning. Steering sticks and you have to add more force into steering input at certain times (than other times/normal) when the vehicle is in motion.
