I have 2 issues with my car - the first one has been ongoing and I should have reported it sooner - when using cruise my car will sometimes brake for no reason, it's as if the car sees something that's not there. The second one just occurred and has only happened once. I was driving on the highway using cruise and I got a message on the dash that said something like cruise control disengaged - the cruise turned off and the gas pedal didn't work so I had to coast to the shoulder. Luckily, I didn't have to cross any lanes of traffic or it could have been extremely dangerous. I plan to contact the dealer as soon as I am done with this submission. I wanted to be able to tell them that I had notified the NHTSA.

There are many complains online about the same issue from other car owners. All I want is for the dealer to repair at no cost to me. The car has less than 30K miles and it is driven only on city streets short distances. Below, the answer to the questions: 1-Steering Rack. Yes it is available for inspection 2-Sticky steering hard to control 3-Yes 4-Yes. Authorized Honda Dealer at Coconut Point, Estero Florida and Honda Corporate office in California knows about it too 5- No warning just a noise We firmly believe many vehicles may have this same issue. Regardless, it is clear that the part in my car is defective and should be replaced by the dealer at no cost to me. The age and mileage of the vehicle do not justify such a serious problem. Either the part was made with poor quality or it is defective. How can a steering rack fail at only 29,248 miles—what is it made of, plastic? This raises serious concerns about Honda Corporate and whether this is part of a broader scheme that should be investigated. My car is practically new and has been serviced exclusively at the same dealer where it was purchased brand new, without missing any of the recommended services ever. note: from the invoice attached you can see how expensive it is this repair

Without warning, my 2019 Honda CRV has repeatedly gone into limp mode, basically, immediately reducing speed to approximately 7 miles per hour. When this occurs, dash is lit up with numerous warning lights. My vehicle requires towing. This has occurred 4 times since May 20th, 2024. The reading has been consistent each time I have had it repaired; cylinder 3 misfire. I have taken my vehicle 3 times to a local mechanic and Clawson Honda, a dealer, the last time;July 29th. There is no warning this will occur. The safety issues are obvious. With the vehicle abruptly, basically, stopping, not only are passengers and drivers in my vehicle in eminent danger, but other drivers who may be trailing behind. I have had extensive conversations with Honda representatives. My vehicle was part of a recall soon after we purchased it. The recall information indicated a software issue that was identified as the same problem that is now happening with our vehicle. I believe there is a potential high risk issue with Honda software. There are numerous makes and models, according to my research, that have been recently recalled for similar issues. As per following questions; this occurred four times: May 20, 2024 October 4, 2024 January 1, 2025 July 29, 2025

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. While the contact’s husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost power and shut off. The driver inspected the vehicle and noticed that there was corrosion on the battery terminals. The battery was replaced by the husband. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the parts were on back order. Another dealer, Honda of Valley Stream (164 E Sunrise Hwy, Valley Stream, NY 11581); confirmed that because the parts were on back order, an appointment could not be scheduled. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure related to the recall. The failure mileage was unknown.

I am writing to express a serious safety concern regarding my Honda CR-V. I recently learned that Honda has recalled millions of vehicles due to a sticky steering issue, and while my specific vehicle is not listed in the current recall, I am experiencing similar symptoms. Most notably, I recently encountered a frightening incident in which the steering in my vehicle felt unusually resistant or "sticky." As I attempted to correct my course on the highway, the lack of smooth steering response caused me to oversteer into the shoulder, putting myself and others at risk. Thankfully, I was able to regain control, but this could have resulted in a serious accident. In addition to the stiffness, I have also noticed a clicking noise when turning the wheel, which seems to accompany or precede the sticky sensation. Given the known recall for this issue in other Honda vehicles, I strongly urge you to investigate whether this problem might extend beyond the current recall list. My concern is that other affected vehicles, including mine, may have been missed. I would appreciate it if a representative could assist me with this. This is clearly a serious safety concern, and I believe it deserves your immediate attention. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

The front windshield on my vehicle was cracked on four different occassions. Three times when a small stone/gravel hit the winshield while driving. And once while parked outside. My safety was at risk because while driving i was startled when the object hit the windshield and i immediately focused my eyes on the damage when my attention should have been keeping my eyes on the road at all times. Each time i filed a claim with my insurance company. In my opinion i believe the glass does not meet or nearly meet industry standards. Further, I'm retired and do not drive my vehicle every day or long distances. Also, the cracked windshields were replaced with Honda windshields. Finally, i fail to believe I am that unlucky to have had my windshield replaced four times within six years.

My car’s warning lights simultaneously come on. After a couple of weeks, they will go off and then once again come on. This has been happening for over a year now. Today I tried to drive and the car shook but would not accelerate. Once I turned it off and back on, the lights were still on but it did go forward. I have noticed many recalls for the Honda CRV but my VIN is not listed in the recall. It seems to me based on the other recalls, mine should be recalled as well. I have only 54,000 miles on my CRV.

The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer to have the tires checked and was advised that both rear tires had abnormal wear on the inside treads. The contact had the tires replaced; however, the tire pressure warning light illuminated after approximately six months. The contact took the vehicle to a tire shop, and it was determined that both rear tires showed abnormal wear on the inside tread. The contact purchased two more tires. The contact stated that the tire shop stated that the rear suspension was the cause of the tire wear failures. The contact was informed that both rear tires were leaning at an angle while mounted on the hubs, and the dealer was unable to properly balance the tires. The contact had the tires replaced again, and the TPMS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a different tire shop, and the failure with the suspension was confirmed. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that there were no similar reports of premature wear of the rear tires. The contact stated that he was on the fourth set of rear tires on the vehicle. The contact stated that he had replaced the rear tires with other tire brands.

Defective Body Control Module (BCM) required replacement after only 23,000 miles. It is not available for inspection as dealership disposed of it. This defective part prevented the vehicle from starting, and controls other systems. The dealership's mechanics diagnosed that this BCM part was the cause preventing the vehicle from starting. This failure occurred without warning. This part was recalled for the 2019 Honda Insight, Honda Accord and Honda Accord Hybrid, and apparently for some 2019 Honda CR-V models (recall 20V771000), but we received no notice.

Continuous illumination of all lights on the dash. We have to reset the battery to clear the codes and it will do it again but the timing differs. Now, I am getting the “Airbag SRS System Problem” that pops up and then goes away when the vehicle is restarted. This has been going on for over a year. We have replaced the alternator and continue to try and find the actual malfunction as a code reader just lists all things being illuminated. We are not the first, not the only, and definitely not the last crv owners with this issue. FIX THIS!!!! I’m highly disappointed in Honda.

To Whom It May Concern, While driving my 2019 Honda CR-V AWD EX, multiple warning lights suddenly illuminated on the dashboard, including the Check Engine Light, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), TPMS, and Collision Mitigation System. This has occurred multiple times and appears to be a well-documented issue among other Honda CR-V owners. The dealer diagnosed a faulty fuel injector system (Code P0172 – System Too Rich) and recommended a full injector replacement. This issue matches known cases addressed under Honda TSB 19-072, but is not currently covered under a full recall. The sudden illumination of all warning lights, combined with reduced power, is a serious safety concern as it may cause loss of control or delayed response in critical traffic situations. We have been quoted between $1,200 and $2,500 to repair this issue, which is a significant expense for a defect Honda is already aware of. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be fully covered by Honda, along with any related systems affected by this issue. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 CR-V models and issue a recall. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards,

Having done some research I discovered that my problem seems to be happening to a number of CRV owners. My signal lights are flickering while the car is turned off. I discovered that Honda had done a recall to fix this problem on several other models but not the CRV. From what I can determine is that this is a problem with the Body Control Module. I feel that there seems to be a lot of CRV with the same problem and maybe your Organization might want to look into this.

Our 2019 Honda CRV is experiencing steering problems. The steering sticks or feels heavy and makes a clicking noise. When driving, especially in curves, the steering sticks and causes over steering. This almost caused an accident when it stuck going around a curve and I had to apply additional pressure to the steering wheel to correct the turn. The problem began around may of 2025 and has grown more prevalent. At first I thought it might be the lane keeping assist function, but as I researched for answer's on why the steering felt sticky I found it is a common problem with CRV’s. There is a recall for 2019 models, but my VIN isn’t covered in this recall. The steering intermittently sometimes feels heavy, like the power steering isn’t working. The problem is worsening and becoming a safety issue when it sticks hard. This hasn't been diagnosed with the dealer. I did speak with my local service rep at the local Honda dealer but they weren't any help. There were no warning lamps. As it worsens it's becoming a major safety issue with my CRV. It doesn't matter what my MPH is, slow or fast, the sticky steering is an issue.

The battery dies of unknown causes and goes to 0 when parked and not in use. Body control module (BCM) was diagnosed as the potential problem by Honda dealer. But even after the brand new BCM module was installed (after lengthy procurement time), the problem is still not fixed. The battery dies completely - same as before. There is no pro-active warning sign of this issue. I believe Honda has recalled BCM in other models but they should do the same for CRVs too. What are we to do if the engine suddenly stops running due to 0 battery charge in a distant location (and god forbid while we are driving on the road). Appreciate your attention to this issue.

I was traveling on the highway when suddenly my car started shuddering and slowing down. It was heavy traffic and difficult to navigate to the right shoulder, and my car was nearly hit by a semi-truck. The engine was misfiring and the engine light blinking yellow. I was able to turn off and restart my car and make it home. The mechanic initially thought the issue was old spark plugs and ignition coils. Replacing them didn’t help. I was again on a highway when the issue happened again. I brought the car to the dealership and they said the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. I spent over $2k to replace them on 7/7/25. The problem hasn’t happened since.

We had to replace steering gearbox. This was the second time we had to bring the car into the dealer for repairs. Almost a year earlier August 27,2024 brought in for the same issue, at that time the Honda had 61,505 miles. No repairs were done as they had no error codes to go by even though there were other Hondas witl steeringbox issues. As of October 9,2024 1.7 million in recall. July 5,2025 had steering gearbox replaced at our cost of $4,557.18. We had a hard time keeping the vehicle on the road as it would drift and violently go from left to right when driving. Other Hondas were recalled but this model year has no recalls yet on the steering box. Ihope that honda will include this model in their recall as we are having the same problems as other Hondas with steering gearbox. Thank you

2019 Honda CRV. Steering feels sticky. It takes extra effort to make small corrections. Once you get the steering past the 'lump', it steers better for a little while. If you don't, it will return to where it started. It seems to get stuck wherever and whenever I make a correction. I have not talked to the dealer or repair professional but it seems to be getting worse.

The fuel injectors on my 2019 CR-V need to be replaced at 68k miles. This is a known issue with recall. While fuel injectors are not "safety" items themselves - when there is a fuel injector issue (as has been reported here on this website and other websites a significant amount of times), numerous safety features of the CR-V are disabled by the issue directly related to the fuel injector issue. A listing of some of those safety related items that are disabled by the fuel injector problem are: - Adaptive Cruise control - Collision Mitigation - Road Departure Mitigation - Vehicle Stability Assist - Hill Start Assist - Electric Parking Brake - Tire Pressure Monitoring. Additionally, some CR-V's have reported being put in limp mode while on the highway, which very well could be a safety related issue; especially to younger and older drivers not used to a car suddenly going from 60MPH to 25MPH and they have to make split second decisions to safely pull over.

I have been reading many similar steering defects on the Honda CRV. The problem is the steering wheel sticking when trying to maintain the Honda on a straight path. The steering is not fluid! Calling the dealership the first time ,I was told ,rather rudely that it was probably the rack and pinion steering gearbox. They also said it was going to cost north of $5,000.00. After exhausted research of the problem, I discovered Honda has several model recall for this, potentially very serious problem ,including the Honda CRV. I found there is a recall on the 2023 and newer. My 2109 is not in the recall. At this point I brought the CRV to the dealership to trouble shoot the problem. Sure enough the rude person was right. I needed a rack and pinion gearbox. I was quoted a price of, $5756.24.This opinion cost me $177.75. I left and told them I need to search around for a better price, and also try to get this done on a recall. I have contacted HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. As of this writing I feel I’m getting the run around! But I keep trying to see if they have a soul!!!

On 6/19/2025 while driving on both residential and highway I noticed extremely sloppy/sticky steering wheel and did not feel safe while driving. The temperature was in the high 80's. I had not noticed anything like this before. Today is 6/29/2025 and I have been to the dealership I bought my CRV vehicle from 3 times relating to the steering for substantial visits on 6/20, 6/24 and 6/26. They were not able to replicate at the dealership what I experienced and we have had substantially cooler temperatures, such as 25 degrees. I believe no being able to replicate what I experienced could be caused by the much lower temperatures. I am frustrated since after the first visit to the dealership for service on 6/20/2025 by searching online I have learned there have been numerous years before and after my CRV was manufactured with steering related issues. This includes 2018 (18V66300 recall for electric power assist system) and 2019 (19V383000). The 2019 steering wheel recall was for vehicles that began manufacture 10-03-2018 and had manufacturing ending 4/02/2019.

There was also recently a recall announced Nov. 2024 related to gearbox worm wheel and this included CRV model years 2023-2025. Additional information is that my CRV has low mileage.

I’m writing to report a recurring and increasingly dangerous issue with the CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) in my vehicle. The problem began shortly after I purchased the car. The system would intermittently flash the word “BRAKE” and apply the brakes without any apparent reason. Initially, this was more of an annoyance, but it has since escalated into a serious safety concern. Most recently, while driving through an intersection with no vehicles in front or behind me, the system suddenly applied the brakes with significant force. This caused everything in the front seat to be thrown to the floor and forced me into the steering wheel. The weather was clear—no rain or sun glare—and there were no visible obstructions. Had there been a vehicle behind me, I believe a rear-end collision would have been likely due to the abrupt deceleration. I have brought the car to the dealership where I purchased it multiple times, but they were unable to replicate the issue and eventually asked me to stop bringing the vehicle in. I then tried a different dealership, but they also refused to investigate further since they couldn’t duplicate the problem. Even after disabling the CMBS system about a year after purchase, the issue has persisted. I’ve since learned that this issue is under investigation, and I want to formally express that I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. I am requesting a resolution to this matter as soon as possible. Please let me know the next steps or if an

While driving especially at highway speeds the steering sticks and requires excessive force to adjust causing oversteering and erratic driving. At low speeds the steering is heard to make loud clicking noise and continues to be stiff. The Honda repair service manager- simply stated there is a recall on the newer models- but not on the 2019. No warning lights. The failure has been ongoing since 2020, getting progressively worse. The vehicle has not been damaged in an accident.

The steering wheel "sticks" when steering, particularly when veering or turning right. My local Honda service department identified the issue as a defective steering gearbox, with a repair cost of $5,115.44. I contacted Honda and was told that my specific VIN is not part of the recall associated with steering issues. Honda refused to add my VIN to the recall and initially refused to cover my repairs. I called again and received a "good will" offer of $3,000 towards repairs. I pointed out that since the issue is a manufacturing defect and other CRVs have been recalled for the same reason, Honda should pay for the entire repair cost. Again they refused and gave me 30 days to think about their offer. I wrote a letter addressed to Mr. Ozawa, director of traffic safety, urging him to take responsibility for the known defect. Honda refused to increase their good will offer. I requested the offer in writing but was refused. I accepted the offer and scheduled the repairs. In the end Honda didn’t honor its good will offer and only paid $2,210 towards repairs. My only solace is knowing that all my calls were recorded (unless they lied about this too) and there's a record of the offer.

When I went to turn on my car, on May 15, 2025, all my warning lights started flashing. It stated multiple system failures and my car started sputtering a bit. I attempted to drive it that way because I really needed to get to work. I was able to get to work but was driving very slow because I had my son with me. When school let out I started my car and all the system failure lights started flashing again. The car started sputtering and shaking again. When I went to leave my school’s parking lot I pressed on the gas pedal and my car barely moved. This happened on a busy street causing the cars behind me to brake quickly since I had no power to get out of their way. I thought I was going to get rear ended with my son in the backseat. I was able to get back into my school’s parking lot and shut off the car. I had to have the car towed to my nearest Honda dealer where it sat overnight since it was towed there right before closing. They diagnosed the vehicle as having a failed fuel injector spill gas into my oil tank and cause a complete mess in my engine. Spark plugs got burnt out as well. Turns out this is a recurring issue with 2019 Honda CRVs. This failure cost me a lot of money that has caused me financial difficulties. This problem needs to be addressed and all 2019 CRVs should be included in this recall. I’m so scared to drive my car but can’t afford to get another car. I should also get reimbursed for the cost of having the fuel injectors replaced. I’m terrified that I’ll

Steering

The steering in my 2019 Honda CRV started sticking when turning, almost like it was clicking into notches. There were no warning messages that anything was wrong. Brought the car to the dealer who determined the power steering rack needed to be replaced at the cost of $4579. Not doing so was a safety issue as the steering could lock up. I'm the original owner of the vehicle which has less than 30,000 miles, lives in a garage, has been well maintained by Honda's service department, and isn't driven in harsh conditions, so was shocked to hear this and questioned a defect in the part. Local dealer contacted Honda Corporate on my behalf and I was offered a 80% discount for the repair out of good will as a longstanding customer. I had the work done to avoid driving an unsafe vehicle. Based on recalls with steering racks in newer models, I am questioning whether the recall should not extend to earlier models. I do not have any of the replaced parts.

The fuel injectors are failing at 55 to 62k miles. The car experiences a loss of steering wheel functioning components related to the driver assist, and multiple warning lights appear on the dash for a period of a few days, then they suddenly disappear. There are slight hesitations in the automobile's acceleration, and this puts my family at risk during operation. The fuel pumps in the 2019 were replaced under recall but they failed to include the fuel rail and injectors and the pump we believe may have more pressure than the rail as and injectors were designed to handle and this shortens the life cycle of the part. The dealership diagnosed this problem and acknowledges that these same components have failed on other models and have settled lawsuits by extending the warranty periods to fix the injectors on certain less popular and lower sales volume models, but did not include the 2019 CRV and we think it is because that is a more popular model that would result in much more outgoing expense. his is putting many families at risk including my [XXX] daughter and her new born son. The dealership sells the injector and fuel rail parts that need to be fixed as a kit now due to previous and existing recalls in other Honda models but Honda consumer affairs has declined any warranty assistance to repair the 2019 CRV.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
