When turning there is a creaking noise coming from the steering wheel. I-??ve looked it up on google and a lot of people are have the same issue. I took it to the dealership for a recall that the vehicle had for them to put grease in the steering box and I told them about the sound. The dealership told me that it-??s a loose cable in the steering wheel causing the sound and that Honda might come out with a recall to fix it. They did not fit it and I was told to wait for the recall to come out. Sounds very unsafe to have a loose cable in my steering wheel and it makes me uncomfortable to drive it knowing that. Idk if it put me and my family at risk or other drivers on the road at risk. I feel like this should be something addressed very quickly for the safety of everyone and it-??s very common from what I-??ve soon on google. I hope this recall comes out soon.

I recently purchased my 2025 Honda CRV from the dealership January. I was driving with my 2025 Honda CRV and I noticed that the lane keep assist was having the ping pong affect when I first picked it up but I didn't really think too much about it. I assume my vehicle just needed some drive time since it was brand new and it was the first time it was on the highway. I noticed that this function was also causing the wheel to be very stiff. I know this system is a driving assistant and is not meant to take away from actual driving and paying attention to the road. But this week the system made an over correction and caused my vehicle turn into a guardrail on the highway. The road was straight, the day was clear and the lines on the lanes were very visible. There shouldn't have been an issue. I was pulled into the guardrail on the driver's side. I was with my girlfriend, her [XXX] son and my friend at the time. Everyone was a bit shaken up, I never had that happen before. It was primarily cosmetic damage to the vehicle and no other vehicles or property was damaged. I wasn't aware there was a steering recall on this vehicle until after the incident, and the recall was posted during the time I was finalizing the paperwork with my dealership for purchasing this vehicle. I haven't taken it to a dealership since getting the vehicle because they prepared everything prior to delivery or picking it up from the port in my case. I have filed a claim with my insurance company and hopefully the vehicle can be inspected for steering issues, to include the lane keep assist. I didn't get any warnings from the vehicle during the incident and I did notice that the steering is overly controlled by the adaptive cruise control when I try to make a turn in my own lane.

I purchased a brand new 2025 CRV on Sept. 29, 2024. 3 months after purchase, I started noticing a noise when I would make a turn. It sounded like rocks being thrown around. It turned out to be my cable reel/clock spring. A month after replacement, my steering wheel started making a clicking noise when driving straight or turning. It was confirmed again that it was the cable reel/clock spring-?? only this time, they put padding around to -??please me.-??

I have two recalls (1, improper production of the high-pressure fuel pump; and 2, improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel) on my car that I have called multiple dealerships about remedying - each time, they have let me know the necessary parts to repair are on back order. I'm most worried about my future safety being at risk considering I have plans to travel long distance soon (one way trip is 12 hours) - I called one of my local Honda dealerships about this concern and they said 'if you don't have any issues now, there's nothing to worry about' - which was quite dismissive. The vehicle/affect components have not been inspected by anyone. Up to this point, there have been no warning indicators of any kind, other than documentation of the recalls from Honda manufacturer.

My wife was driving our 2025 Honda CRV on [XXX] when suddenly the car turned off, there were no brakes, and was unable to steer. This happened while driving - moving - She was able to stop, turned the car off, then started the car again. She parked the car in a parking garage, and called the Honda dealership in Manassas, VA. The technician told her to NOT drive the car and have it towed to their dealership - which we did the same day. The car only has 6,000 miles on it. There was a previous recall on this vehicle for steering issues - we brought it to he dealership then and was presumably was repaired. This was a very dangerous, life threatening incident. Honda is supposedly going to fix this - hopefully - but what is my recourse, and should we drive this car" Will Honda provide us with a new car that has no issues or recalls" Please advise. Thank You, [XXX] My email is - [XXX]. Phone number [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I contacted the Honda dealership on November 22, 2024 regarding my recall and was told there was a waitlist. I followed up in December 2024 and was told there was still a waitlist. I called again on 2/4/2025 and was told that no parts for the recall have come in and that there is no ETA on it. The first contact that I made was more than 60 days ago.

I received a recall notice (#24V-744). I have twice scheduled appointments with Honda of mentor (Ohio) to service the recall, and I have twice been cancelled, in that a "part" was unavailable. The service manager has promised to personally call me when the part is available. Meanwhile, I am driving a car with a "steering" problem, and I am concerned about safety. I assume that a recall for a steering issue is a serious matter. Is there any help for this problem? thank you.

I was driving to the mailbox today and the car revved forward and the steering became hard to control and steer. This is the second incident. When I originally reported to the Supervisong Service agent at my Honda of Katy, Mr. John Kasimoff, he dismissed it since the "check engine light" did not turn off. He and the staff at Honda of Katy discouraged me from bringing in the car. I am afraid to drive the car in Texas. A car is necessary for my livelihood and to get around. Food shopping and to buy simple basic necessities require an automobile and can no longer afford taking Ubers and depend on the kindness of friends to assist me with deliveries and other transportation. The recall came merely days after purchasing my new car and it's suspect to me that no one at the dealership was unaware of ongoing issues when they keep contacting me about purchasing. Honda has yet to send information on when a possible solution for parts and service to my vehicle. They referred me to the Honda of Katy dealership but the dealership is referring me back to Honda Automotive. I need assistance because I want repairs and a full diagnostic made to my Honda CR-V hybrid Sport without any more delays.

Our CRV hybrid is experiencing the sticking steering wheel issue. It takes force to move the steering wheel at freeway speeds. It is not included in the recall but clearly has the issue. Our local Honda service dealer blew us off and is unwilling to help.
