2024 Honda CR-V complaints

During driving, the steering wheel seems to catch, or stick--it is not smooth. This seems to be primarily a highway speed occurrence. When this happens it also seems like you have to constantly make small adjustments to steering. This mostly seems to happen after we have been on the road for a while. It first happened 3 weeks ago on a longer drive. Then it happened again last week, again on a longer drive. Also on a shorter drive a couple of weeks ago, but the speeds were higher than in-town, around 50 mph. I took it to the dealer yesterday. I noticed the catching on the drive down, but it was not continuous, as it was the other times. The car was taken out on the highway and driven by a mechanic, who stated he did not experience the problem. Our car now has around 9000 miles on it.

At about 4,500 miles I noticed at higher speed over 50 miles per hour a sticky steering wheel. Steering felt like it would click and hard to keep wheel straight. Constant back and forth to keep straight. Took the vehicle into AutoNation Honda Roseville on 1/5/24 with a mileage of 4,841. They determined after driving it that the EPS Gearbox needed to be replaced. This part is back ordered, and I still as of today 4/2/24 do not have the part replaced.

While driving on 3.5 hour trip through the mountains found that the steering wheel was stiff and the car difficult to control, especially on steep slopes with curves. Had to slow way down and grip the steering wheel with significant force. Felt like driving an old manual steering pick-up truck. The stiff steering has made driving in narrow lanes difficult as it feels like I am always having to over-correct the wandering.

Steering wheel on 2024 CRV hybrid was getting sticky and I noticed it while I was driving on the highway took it to dealer and dealer did say that the truck is unsafe to be driven steering rack needs to be replaced. There is no official recall, but part can take months to come in.

The driver side mirror is vibrating while driving at any speed, as well as serious mirror distortion. You don’t have to be moving to see the distortion, as no matter what angle it’s viewed at, it distorts the view. This is a serious safety issue while driving and needs to be addressed

I have had my 2024 CRV EX-L in a couple different dealerships to complain about the steering becoming very sticky after you drive for awhile. When this issue starts up, it makes it very difficult to make minor adjustments to stay in your own lane!! Some dealers say they haven't heard any other complaints, but I find that not to be true when it's all over social media and there are articles all over the internet as well about this same issue. I also have an Attorney looking into this as well at this point. This issue is very annoying and can become a safety concern if you are not always aware and paying attention when it starts to happen. This is definitely not the Honda quality that I have been used to in the past. I would like this addressed ASAP, this CRV only has 6,200 miles on it. Thank you.

Rear View mirror crashed without any outside impact. Car was in standing and rear view mirror cracked without no external reason in a new car just withing 30 days. Honda probably used low quality mirror or assembly was not proper.

I was driving about 25 mph halfway through an intersection with stop lights. The automatic emergency front braking system abruptly engaged and almost brought the car to a stop. I immediately applied the gas pedal to compensate for the braking and was able to keep the car from completely stopping. The car in front of me was about 5 car lengths ahead, moving at a similar pace, and the car behind me was about 4 car lengths away. Luckily, the car behind was able to keep from hitting me.

Driver side mirror. The mirror looks very distorted and shakes significantly when driving. The view from my driver side mirror looks worse at night, which is when I do most of my driving. Headlights from other cars affect the view from my driver side mirror and give off a terrible reflection. I have taken my vehicle to Honda dealer and they stated they did not notice any distorted images or shaking. I have had this vehicle for barely 2 weeks and have had no luck in finding the a solution.

The Adaptive Cruise Control causes the vehicle to brake when close to another vehicle when in different lanes of traffic on highway/freeway turns. The adaptive cruise does not appear to communicate with the lane departure system and thus doesn't realize other vehicles are in different lanes. This has occurred 3 times in the 2 weeks I have owned the vehicle. The Adaptive Cruise Control does not understand the vehicles are in different lanes causing it to brake for no reason when turning as the radar only points forward. Adaptive Cruise does NOT warn the driver that it is detecting a problem and/or reacting to a detection, it brakes very hard due to thinking the two vehicles are about to collide despite being in different lanes and thus a collision will not happen. Vehicle has not been inspected by dealership, manufacturer, police, or insurance.

The car horn that is supplied as part of this car is, in my opinion, very dangerous. The horn emits an audible sound that hardly gets attention from others, be they fellow drivers and or pedestrians. I an not at all comfortable driving this car with this horn. To this point, there are Honda dealers selling auxiliary horns to help combat the issue. YouTube has a number of people that have posted on the subject. Please take this issue seriously and force Honda to do something about it.

I took my son to school and there was frost on the mirror and windshield and used the defrost. Came home parried in a gated area. Not exposed to any other elements. And a few hours later went to run some errands and mirror on driver side was cracked. I believe it has to do with the heated defrost. No signs of crack or anything. It is now on back order. Not covered by warranty and I am unsafe driving as it gives double vision as I’m driving it obstructs my view especially when I want to change lanes. Very unsafe. I have found many people have been complaining of this same incident happening to them. And this is something Thant needs to be recalled. ASAP. I have not even had my car for a month and this is already an issue.

A crack appeared on the passenger side mirror for no obvious reason. It might have been caused by the temperature change from -2°C at night to 7°C in the morning, but I'm not sure. No impact signs, crack has curved U shape form.

On March 09, 2024 as I was backing into a parking space, the rear vehicle wheels came into contact with the parking curb at which point the rear window shattered. The pieces of the window flew in many directions approximately up to 5 to 10 feet outside and into the rear cargo area of the vehicle where I had my dogs. Fortunately, there were no other persons around the vehicle at the time and my dogs were not harmed. Immediately after this incident, I called the car dealer where I originally purchased the vehicle, and was advised to bring it in. I thereafter brought the vehicle to the car dealer service center where they removed some of the remaining pieces still attached to the window area and covered the window with plastic. Thereafter I drove the vehicle home, returned with the vehicle to the dealer on March 12, 2024, and the dealer replaced the window on March 13, 2024 at which time I retrieved my vehicle and returned the loaner car to the dealer. The window appeared to be replaced with a different type of window than the original. I asked the dealer why this occurred, the response was that they did not know why and further stated that this issue of shattering rear windows occurred in the 2023 HR-V models, but they were not aware of an issue in the CR-V models. I purchased the vehicle on February 7, 2024 and prior to this incident I had no problems with the vehicle to include the rear window. The invoice from the car service center states that there were no signs of impact

The key fob unlocks ALL doors & the settings options does not give the option to just unlock the drivers door like it does on other models. Why? For me it's a safety issue. Dealer said to hit once to unlock just drivers door & twice to unlock all doors. They tried & it didn't work. They tried all the settings & that too didnt work. They were no help & said that's just how it was made. Poor choice for honda to leave out this model for this feature, yet give it to all their other models. For one person owning this, that's a safety issue for me.

At speeds above 40mph, the steering feels "sticky" or "notchy" when making small corrections to stay in the center of the lane. My local dealer confirmed the problem and ordered replacement parts. That was two months ago.

Driver door side mirror cracked into 2 pieces. The Blind Side Assistance light still works. Just glass crack. Seemed to happen after or during a cold snap. It just showed up. I had been hearing a loud click or crack sounds from that area off and on while driving.

Went to sleep with car parked on driveway Woke up with passenger side view mirror cracked. No nicks or dings. Overnight Temps dropped to 20s.

Driver side veiw mirror is distorted making images look out of focus. This defect make me feel sick when operating the vehicle.

Shaky & Distorted Side Mirror (driver side). feels unsafe when viewing cars behind.

I almost got into accident twice by using Auto Engine Stop/Start feature at traffic light. Traffic light was green and the car in front of me turned right but they were too slow to turn which I had to hit my break. Due to hitting my break, the car thought I was stop/idle so it turned Engine off. When the car turned Engine off, it basically got hiccups or stalls for few second and the car behind me almost hitting me as traffic light was green to go. You can only temporarily turn off this feature and it will default turn on when the car starts which will lead to accidents in matter of time if I forgot to turn it off every time I start the car. Honda should update software to allow customers to turn it off permanently if they want to instead default on.

Warning lights (LKAS, Collision Mitigation, Road Departure Assist and Break System) suddenly went on as I was backing out of the driveway. No obstruction found on the vehicle upon checking. CR-V was with 2328 miles on it. Informed the dealer of the issue and got it serviced immediately. I was informed that the multipurpose camera needs replacement. Service Manager from the Honda dealer said that the vehicle is still drivable even with warning lights on and that the camera is on back order but the ETA is unknown.

While driving on the highway, my daughter experienced an issue that caused her to lose the ability to steer the vehicle. The vehicle went off of the road and into a guardrail causing damage to the left side of the car. Prior to losing the ability to steer, she thought she felt some strange shaking. Thankfully, she was not hurt and did not collide with any other vehicles. The situation could have ended much worse than it did. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being inspected. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the incident. The issue seems very similar to other issues that we have read about affecting 2024 CRVs and other Honda models that cause difficulty steering. Much like the issues we read about, this was a new vehicle with low mileage and during winter months.

When snow gets on the front Honda logo all safety functions shut down and a screen comes on and says “clean area showing) so I pulled over on the next off ramp and clean the snow and mush off the emblem and with in the next 10mi it comes back on.. this happened to me 4x coming from Fort Wayne Indiana to Noblesville Indiana. Went to the Honda forum and it a common problem. It wasn’t that bad out to be doing this.. No Cruise control No lane departure No auto braking No safety features at all until you clean the front logo

Driver side mirror is distorted. When looking at the mirror, it makes me dizzy and nearly nauseous. The distorted visibility is definitely a safety concern.

Driver side mirror got cracked itself . Car was parked in driveway and there was no crack in mirror until previous night. 2 days ago there was snow and temperature was around 30f. This seems to be safely hazard considering it’s now distracting while driving .

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was inoperable. The contact stated that the steering wheel had seized stuck and failed to function as intended. Additionally, the contact stated that it was very difficult to control the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed steering assembly and that the steering rack assembly needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the steering rack assembly was on backorder until April 2024. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 3,735.

The steering is real jerky and hard to drive. The dealer said on 11/13 that it was unsafe to drive. Part is on back order. Now they say it might be April.

Our complaint is in regards to the factory horn Honda is installing on the current generation of CR-Vs. After purchase one week ago of our 2024 model year, we noticed the horn was very faint. Believing it to be a defect, we researched online and found that it is as designed. The horn is so poor that dealers are selling "upgrade kits" and posting online videos on how to install. The standard horn comes as a single high-tone that is insufficient. These kits include a second low-tone horn and a y-splitter cable that will hook into the factory single high-tone horn. Once the low tone is installed, the horn sounds and functions as any vehicle should be expected to function. But otherwise, the factory single high-tone is inadequate and not safe. I have tested this by having my spouse behind me on the roadway in clear weather at night and stopped at a red light. The horn is very faint and not adequate enough to provide proper warning if needed. If I was not expecting the horn test from my spouse, I would not have thought it was a vehicle horn at all. Now consider adding in poor weather and driving at 70mph, the horn would do nothing to warn another driver from an improper lane change to avoid a collision. With over 10 years of law enforcement and traffic-related experience, I am asking that this matter be investigated and require Honda to issue a recall to bring their horns up to standard by providing the fix to owners at no charge to add the low-tone second horn so that the vehicle

Day #4 of ownership of brand new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring, passenger side mirror cracked on a cold morning, approximately 18 degrees. Suspect heating element was too hot and the transition from cold to hot too rapidly caused a vertical crack from top to bottom that impairs vision. Called the dealer, part is on back order and they have no clue when it'll come in. Would not commit to tell me if it was under warranty or not.

Horn is not adequate as a warning mechanism for safety. A large number of owners are complaining about this issue. Honda knows the horn is inadequate but instead of providing a suitable horn for the vehicle they are selling an add on horn for customers to purchase through the parts department. The horn provided with the vehicle should be of sufficient volume to serve as a safety device. This is not acceptable.

The steering wheel sticks and becomes stiff intermittently at various speeds. It seems to happen significantly less in cold temperatures (under 35°f). When performing a turn or slight correction, more bodily force is required to make the move which has resulted in exaggerated moves/corrections. This issue was presented to the dealership and their technician allegedly drove my vehicle and another of the same year/model and was unable to recreate the issue.

We are having issues with our new CRV hybrid. We hear clicking sound whenever we are on uphill curvy road. Another issue is the driver’s side mirror appears distorted/blurry.

We have a 2024 Honda CR-V Sport L. My wife drives the car mainly on the highway. She mentioned she noticed the steering "sticks" when trying to change lanes or make small corrections. Almost like lane assist is on but worse. I drove the car and confirmed I experienced the same issue. There are no warning lights telling me there is something wrong with the steering. It has caused my wife to have a couple of close calls. I am taking to the dealer today to have it looked at.

Sticky steering developed after 3500 miles. When making minor adjustments, extra resistance was felt causing over adjustment sometimes.

When driving in a straight line, the car pulls to the left, requiring me to correct the drift by steering the car to the right. There is a lot of effort put into correcting the gradual and progressive drifting of the car, especially during highway driving. Correcting the steering is a constant during the drive. The steering itself also feels "stiff." Much effort is needed to correct the steering, making it very difficult to traverse the roads, especially when quick and accurate response is needed to avoid debris on the road, potholes, other cars, and even simple tasks like lane change. This started happening even before the vehicle hit 1,000 miles on the odometer. Additionally, there were two occasions in which the power steering light came on the dash when remote starting the vehicle, but would turn off when cycling the car. The light came on once prior to the sticky steering issue and once more after having experienced the start of the sticky and stiff steering. I have not remote started the car since. The dealer has noted this, but could not find a reason why this is happening as a diagnostic check did not reveal any errors. Adding to the steering issue, there is a lot of effort needed to make right turns and left turns, even at low speeds. All of these issues could not be replicated by the dealer. However, the dealer did not take the vehicle on a prolonged drive nor on the highway at highway speed. The dealer has noted that if the problem persists, to take it back. It is

2024 CRV showing errors concerning brake assist and lane departure. 1647 miles. I had a 2023 Sport Touring CRV. Same messages appeared. At 10,300 miles, when being serviced at the dealership for an oil change, tire rotation, and two service bulletins, I was informed of an “embedded” code saying the main camera needed replacing. Looking online, Honda has an issue. This seems to be happening frequently.

Steering has slight “sticky” feeling requiring extra pressure to turn steering wheel which is discomforting as it feels you are fighting it. This could result in an over correction to steering and moving out of lane into another vehicle or guard rail. This usually occurs at highway speed. The dealer has indicated that it is a known issue and will replace steering components when available. No warnings, messages or other symptoms prior to issues.

I started experiencing "sticky" steering (steering binding) mostly at highway speeds after the car has completely warmed up. The vehicle has EPS (Electronic Power Steering). The vehicle has less than 3,000 miles on it. The problem started less than 1000 miles ago. This condition makes the steering feel "unsure" at times. It almost feels like an old car with manual steering, when the steering box is failing. I will be taking it to the dealer for evaluation. No warning lights present. The problem occurs even when ALL driver assistance, lane departure systems, etc., are disabled.

Steering seems to stick, causing overcorrection and almost causing loss of control. The vehicle is available for inspection. I came very close to losing control at highway speeds. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no warnings and the problem seems to be getting more severe.

Steering wheel sticks when trying to turn. Major safety concern.

The side mirror developed a crack without any apparent impact damage. My vehicle was securely parked inside the garage, and I discovered the cracked mirror when I woke up in the morning. It appears to be a broader problem, as evidenced by a Reddit forum where individuals who have bought the 2024 Honda CRV are sharing similar experiences.

Steering wheel feels very heavy and breaks response little bit slow.

The side mirrors, especially the driver-side mirror, have considerable distortion and appear to be defective. The car was returned and the driver-side mirror was replaced, but the problem is still there. It seems to be a manufacturer defect and a recall should be investigated. Unable to see and/or focus clearly with the side mirrors.

Newer CRV’s windshield wash fluid is delivered through a rubber hose /nozzle that ends on the metal wiper arm, and is exposed to extreme cold temperatures. Other vehicles hoses terminate in the hood, where they are kept warm by the heat radiating from the engine. We just drove cross country, experiencing below zero temps, on highways with heavy traffic and precipitation, with often frozen lines, resulting in really constant, poor visibility., The fluid being used is rated for -30, yet the lines still froze up.

Side view mirror cracked without any impact. I started backing up, looked away and when I looked back the mirror was cracked. Nothing hit it or was even near it.

Side driver mirror cracked obstructing view.

Steering become very stiff and hard to maneuver during increasing speeds

We bought this 2024 CRV EXL just a few months ago and have less than 5000 miles. The steering catches and sticks at times. We have owned 5 new CRVS over the many years and this is NOT normal. Honda dealers want to say it’s “normal”. I am on a private Facebook 2023-2024 CRV site, and many have reported this issue. Some say it’s a steering rack. I don’t know but asking for your help as my wife doesn’t feel safe and we know it’s a manufactured issue.

The supposedly “LED Headlights on this vehicle is very dim and very unsafe to drive. I have contacted Honda of Marysville Wa state about the headlights inability to provide light on the roads but was ignored. We almost had an accident because the headlights are so dim we almost hit another vehicle. This needs to be addressed by honda before something bad happens.
