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

My vehicle component or system that I believed malfunctioned was the steering wheel. My vehicle steering wheel feels at times like it got lock while driving on the highway and off the highway. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time upon request. Due to this problem with my vehicle I panic for a couple of seconds, took my eyes off the road, without keeping a safe distance with other drivers. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I have taken my vehicle for regular services and have reported this problem to my dealer. But nothing has been found wrong with my vehicle as of today. My vehicle has not been inspected by the police, insurance representative or others since my dealership has not found anything wrong with it. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the problems. I have taken my vehicle for other concerts as well that have been corrected but this with my steering wheel.

This vehicle has the sticky/jerky steering problem. It started around 5500 miles. It is an intermittent problem that is very noticeable when it is cool outside. This is the same problem that the NHTSA has been investigating (investigation EA23003)

Horn installed in vehicle sounds like a Clown-??s horn. When we have needed the horn to prevent an accident the other drivers are unable to hear this horn. Honda needs to add a second horn to all the vehicles so that it is louder and has a tone that is more likely to alert other drivers of a problem. A Honda dealer has developed an upgrade kit to allow for the installation of a second horn. I have attached a copy of receipt for the purchase of this part.

Sun roof was closed and exploded while driving 40mph. it could have splatered glass on any vehicle behind me.. Honda replaced the window and components. The repair cost $2205.35 which i had to pay to have my car released My insurance hasn't paid anything yet. The weather was clear and dry.50 deg. Road condition was 2 lane black top with no overhead obstructions such as trees or bridges. My speed was approx.40 mph.with no traffici in front of me and no on comming traffic.. Honda dealer took no blame for the car window and had no clue whay this happened., I feel that Honda is having glass problems and should own up to it by recall and pay for all damages.

When driving, especially on the interstate/high speeds, my steering wheel feels to be locked into place. I am unable to easily turn left or right to stay in my lane without a jerk/sticky feeling in the wheel. It feels like I have cranked the wheel as far as it will go, but the wheel is centered. The steering wheel will also occasionally randomly jerk small amounts either left or right. It makes interstate driving feel very unsafe and like I do not have full control. I had my alignment fixed a few months ago, but I have not taken it back to the dealership for this issue. No warning lights/messages.

When the vehicle is put into reverse, the backup camera comes on but the Backup Guidance system does not come on at times. This may cause a potential for collision when backing the vehicle and is a safety issue.

The actual component or system is UNKNOWN. The vehicle is available for inspection. The safety issue is that the vehicle will drift into another lane even though both green lane indicators are illuminated posing a risk to myself and other drivers. The dealer mechanics stated that they could not verify or reproduce the problem. I reported the issue to Honda USA but they stated that they had no technical staff available that could provide information on the subject and that I would have to go back to the dealer. The dealer mechanics were unable to detect or resolve any problems with either system despite multiple attempts. Both the LKA and LDW error lights with instructions to "see dealer" had come on multiple times before the safety incidents. On a possibly related note, the Back Up Guidance System does not work on occasion and when that happens, the navigation system is very slow to come on. The navigation system comes on eventually after about 2 blocks of driving. I asked the dealership if they could check the software or perhaps any RAM memory that may exist as the problem seems to be related to a slow system response which would explain why the system checks out OK when analyzed by the dealer mechanics because the systems may seem to be working properly when the vehicle is parked but not working within their design parameters. They stated that there was no way to check the software or memory. The problem has occurred several times to date but I am only able to list one date on the form so I used 11/17/2023.

The steering after a few miles, feels sticky. The steering wheel will softly jerk on the highway. Almost feels like adjusting for lane departure, but I am not departing the lane. This also causes lane keeping to feel jerky. Also, the android auto when plugged in and apps being used will turn off the radio or the sound system. Thank you

On 7/12/23 passenger side front door would not close after multiple attempts. I unlocked the doors from the driver side to allow my son in. He tried closing the door multiple times once he got in. I ensured nothing was blocking the door, and it still wouldn-??t close. I pulled on the inside handle and tried closing it again. This time it did and I haven-??t been able to replicate it again. I plan on having it inspected by the dealership

My car's emergency brake failed to work and my car's rear slid downhill into a 90 degree angle. The front passenger bumper of my car hit the front driver bumper of the car parked behind me. This happened while I was parallel parking in front of my home, which is on right side of a street with an uphill incline. I turned my car's front wheels away from the curb, which is why my car's rear spun into a 90 degree angle. There is a small driveway between my car and the car behind me, which is why my car had the space to spin and slide into 90 degree angle in the middle of the street. I could have sworn my car was shifted to park, but it's possible that I was shifted to reverse or neutral. I almost 100% sure that I initiated my emergency parking break and that it failed to turn on. I had started to exit the driver side door and my legs were outside of the car already when I noticed the car to slide backwards. I panicked and I tried to get back into the car, but I couldn't. My legs were dragged across the street. I have some minor injuries such as bumps, cuts and bruises. My car stopped from sliding when it hit the car behind me. I could have been seriously injured. There should have been some "fail safe" to prevent me from exiting the car when it's possible it could start to move. I'm considering selling my car because of this issue.

A new 2023 CRV Honda than in less than two months it-??s sunroof shattered while I was driving in the freeway. It was a very scary and dangerous situation because it sounded like an explosion and several pieces of glass hit my face, my passenger and my little dog. No object hit the sunroof. I took my new vehicle to the Honda dealer to replace the glass. Honda denied my claim. It-??s infuriating that Honda states that sunroofs are not part of the warranty because this glass comes from another manufacturer. I ended up paying for a defective glass and I feel that it might happen again and Honda is not doing anything to take care of this defective sunroof glass!! Very frustrated!
