My CR-V Lane Keep Assist will pull my vehicle one way or the other jarringly violently, and will overcorrect itself the rest of the time. The result being that I have nearly totally stopped using the feature. Recently, though, I have noticed a sticking point just off of dead center when steering in either direction- at any speed. The worst part of this issue is that it causes turning to be unsmooth because the wheel doesn't turn smoothly. At any speed, I can notice the weighting of the steering wheel when I hit the (replicatible) sticking point- and then it is as if the vehicle "skips a few steering teeth" because it cause the wheel to turn a little more quickly as if to catch up to where I had intended to point the tires. This issue has persisted to the point that I googled to see if other owners were having this issue, and that's when I discovered that NHTSA had added the 2023 CR-V to an existing complaint involving Honda Civics with the same steering components. I wish to lodge my complaint in the hopes of making Honda and the NHTSA aware that this issue is also affecting 2024 CR-Vs. I am extra frustrated because I feel like my front suspension/steering components are clunking where that was not an issue over the early life of the vehicle. For reference, I have put 13000 miles on the vehicle since purchasing 07/27/2023.
2024 Honda CR-V complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2024 record →
I noticed that at approximately 45mph that my steering wheel started stick and then unstick resulting in the steering wheel jerking. Some occurrences are worse than others and it seems to be more noticeable while driving at highway speeds (45mph - 65mph). I researched this and found multiple forums with 2022 - 2024 Honda owners experiencing the same problem. I also noticed an open NHTSA investigation (Investigation: EA23003).
The driver side rear-view mirror vibrates any time i am traveling over 40-50 mph. This makes it extremely hard to see what is happening behind me. This is a huge problem while at high way speeds and it needs to be rectified immediately.
This hybrid model does not display red brake lights during regenerative braking, at any of the settings. I have have had two occurrences where the driver behind me was apparently not aware that my vehicle was slowing somewhat rapidly, and thus nearly drive into the back of my vehicle. One of those drivers mentioned that they did not see any brake lights even though I was slowing down, approaching an intersection. I can see how this might be a safety issue. IF Tesla can have this function on their cars software then why cannot Honda? My vehicle also has times when I am travelling on straight city streets with no traffic in front of me, where the automatic emergency braking come on quite firmly for a second or two, without any apparent reason. Again, this presents a possible safety hazard to the vehicles behind me who may be following a little closer than they should, and may possible drive in to the back of my vehicle. Again, I am not aware of any brake lights present on my vehicle when this happens. A big improvement would be in the manner in which the radar sees things and makes false applications of this braking system, as well as having teh vehicle brake lights activate when this system decides to engage.
Leaving a grocery store parking lot and car stalled out.
I got in the car this morning and noticed what looked like a condensation drip at the top of my passenger side mirror. By the time I got to work, a full length crack was down the mirror. I pulled my cameras and nothing touched my mirror over night. I did a google search and others are reporting similar issues. this has a direct affect on visibility while driving. Given other complaints found this is a known issue, then Honda needs to do a recall.
On a drive back and forth to Florida from New Jersey the steering seemed to “stick” every so often during highway driving. Almost like the power steering was turned off. With a little additional effort I was able to continue steering but definitely something wasn’t right. I’m very familiar with lane departure and Lane assist features on this vehicle and both of those were not turned on when this was occurring.
My driver side view mirror is blurry, making it difficult to safely switch lanes.
The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60–65 MPH, the moon roof glass exploded without warning or impact. The contact pulled off the interstate, inspected the vehicle, and noticed an object emerging from the roof. The contact's wife detected an abnormal popping noise before the failure. There were no reported injuries. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called the local glass center, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 3,300.
The steering “sticks” and becomes difficult to manage. Honda has a service bulletin (23-037) the car becomes difficult to drive in a highway you feel like your fighting the wheel to keep the vehicle straight
Steering wheel sticking when attempting to maintain driving in a straight line, or when attempting to change lanes. It seems as though the steering wheel is fighting me. Vehicle was purchased new during August 2023 with four (4) miles on the odometer. At that time there were no noticeable steering issues. Beginning December 2023, with approximately 1550 miles on the odometer is when I first began experiencing the issue. There were no warning lights and/or messages prior to first experiencing the issue. The issue seems to be getting worse as vehicle mileage increases. As of this date 12/26/2023, I have not had an accident. However when the steering wheel sticks I have to jerk the steering wheel to maintain a straight line causing the vehicle to over compensate. On occasions it has set off the Lane Keeping Assist function. Also it sticks when attempting to change lanes. I have not yet reported this issue to my local Honda dealership due to the holidays, but do intend to do so this week. Please note that I have found numerous complaints regarding the issue when doing an Internet search. Supposedly Honda issue a technical service bulletin regarding this issue in July 2023. My vehicle is available for inspection when ever needed. My phone number is [XXX] , and my email address is [XXX] should you need to contact me.

My Crv has difficulty in steering. I can go straight down the road and try to change lanes. It can take a strong tug to get it to change lanes. Once it loosens back up it is ok to steer. I took it to the Honda dealer and they said it was normal. I think they are avoiding a dangerous problem. If I turn on the lane keep assist it is even harder to steer. I have reported this before. Nothing gets logged I will try a different dealer after the holidays. Why should I have to lemon law a car for a common problem.
I have a distorted driver passenger side mirror.
The AC in heat mode between 76F - 80F makes a bubbling noise on driver side vent - this might be improper seal in evaporated core.
Steering is jerky and has hard spots. Feels like the steering is pushing back. Fights you while driving the whole time.
Vehicle purchased new - 2024, after 2000 miles noticed periodic sticking/slight jerking of steering wheel when driving at higher speeds on slight curves/corrections for crown of road. When adjusting steering slightly in opposite direction slight sticking felt then release with mild jerk. Increasing in occurrence over next 400 miles - taken to selling dealer service - NCDS case opened.
11/28 My wife was driving her 2024 Honda CR-V on a straight road on a trip of more than an hour in cool weather when she experienced "sticky driving" and had difficulty keeping the vehicle in its lane.
I was driving on the interstate between 55-65 mph on a straight path when I noticed the steering wheel would stick when I would try to follow the curve of the road. I would have to apply increased steering effort to keep or correct the vehicle’s path.
I am writing to express concern about the steering of my 2024 Honda CR-V (Sport Touring trim). The vehicle was purchased new in September, with about 3,800 miles accumulated so far. When driving at 40 mph or higher in a straight line, there is persistent resistance in the steering wheel. It sticks when making slight straight line corrections. I included lane driving assistance in the "problem parts" section here not knowing if there is a connection. Not only is there resistance, but frequently the steering will suddenly jerk to either side. This is very slight and has not caused a major straight line deviation, but I know this should not occur and for all I know can get worse. I have repeated these circumstances while using and not using any lane assistance. No warning lamps or messages have appeared. I am taking the vehicle to my dealer during the week of 12/11, so no inspections as of yet. I have read NHTSA is investigating nearly identical complaints with 2022-23 models and wanted to add my concerns about the '24 model year.
The steering wheel sticks and requires extra effort to break it loose to make small adjustments. This seems to happen and get more severe after a minute or two of driving, and especially when speeds approach 35 mph and higher. Very difficult to make small adjustments smoothly when cruising on an interstate or a straighaway. You have to break it loose for small steering moves, and you can even feel the vibration of it breaking loose in the steering wheel itself. Often you can even hear the sound of it breaking loose in the steering column itself. Went to the Honda dealer, and they cant get me in until Feb 1 2024 to even look at it. I notice there is a TSB MC-10239109-0001 concerning steering boxs on Honda's. This started sticking at about 2000 miles on the vehicle, and is getting more consistent. I now have 2800 miles on the vehicle. The dealership seemed to be unaware of the problem but it is all over the internet, and I find it hard to believe they do not know about it as it has been reported on 2022 and 2023 civics and now is apparently affecting the 2024 models.
Steering wheel gets “sticky” and makes it hard to steer. Almost over corrected because it was stuck on the highway. Took to the dealership and it needs a new steering rack, which is on back order.
When driving on the highway it is most noticable,It feels like the power steering quits working.It makes it hard to steer. When it does steer easily it is easy to over correct making an accident more likely.Hopefully my Honda dealer will stand behind it. So far over the phone they pretend like it doesn't exist.
Driving on the highway it feels like I lose power steering. The steering wheel is hard to turn. It loosens up eventually. I have asked at the dealership about it. They pretend like they don't know about it. It could cause an accident if i have to make a sudden turn.
Driving down the highway my power steering becomes difficult to turn. It will loosen up but could be dangerous if I need to make a quick turn.I am on my 5th CRV. This is so disappointing. My dealership pretended to not know about it.
The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that there was a clicking sound coming from the steering wheel while driving. The contact stated that while driving straight at highway speeds, the contact had to over-correct the steering wheel. The contact used an excessive amount of force to maneuver the steering wheel. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the clockspring was replaced. There was a clicking sound coming from the steering wheel and the steering wheel seized. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
The steering wheel seems to get stuck for a little bit and the release by itself, not fully stuck but feels like sticking and sometimes pushes my itself now this is with all the features off including lane departure and lane keep it’s feels like the power steering is failing, and the car also vibrates over 60 miles and makes noise when on a round about Turning left, the dealership is not helping.
The following investigations need to be expanded to include 2024 Honda CRVs also. I have experience identical issues. , The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE23-005) to access the alleged defect of momentary increase in steering effort in model years (MY) 2022 and 2023 Honda Civic vehicles. The complaints report that the momentary increase in steering effort (described as Investigation: EA23003 Open Resume Page 2 of 2 "sticky steering") occurs mostly at highway speeds after driving for a certain amount of time.
The steering wheel occasionally gets sticky, especially driving straight for a while. It can be overcome with a little extra force but the steering does not feel smooth because of it. I have not contacted the dealer yet. There are no warning lights or anything. I've got a little over 12k miles on the new car.
Steering wheel “sticks” -there is resistance in the steering and then it may release suddenly which may cause a jerking of the wheel to over correct. The car was purchased new and did not experience this problem initially, but it seems to have developed over time. The ‘sticking’ of the steering is really noticeable at higher speeds such as highway driving. This is a safety concern as it makes it more difficult to steer and potentially cause an accident. There are no warning lights on or any other indication of a problem on the dash. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or manufacturer yet, but I plan on making an appointment soon. It has not been inspected by the police or an insurance rep. Yes, the car/steering is available upon request.
While driving, in particular on the highway, the steering wheel becomes suddenly stuck in its position. I am able to overcome the stickiness with a mild amount of effort. I currently have 5700 miles on my vehicle and it appears to be getting more noticeable over time. I have a call into the Honda dealer to have this issue addressed. I am waiting for them to call me back. I have received no warning from my vehicle that there is a problem with the steering.
My steering wheel is sticking while driving. It has not caused an incident yet, but is causing me to oversteer consistently as it takes too much resistance to overcome the stuck position when trying to make smooth steering movements especially around long slow curves. Even when going straight on multiple lane roads it is quite difficult to make small corrections to stay in my lane. It is bad enough that I will not allow my wife or daughter to operate the car until I have time to take it to the service department.
I put my Honda CRV Hybid away in my garage while it was running on battery power. It is silent when not in gear and operating on battery power. The key fob was in the car. I forgot to shut off the power switch before getting out of the car. When the battery drained, the engine started, filling the garage with exhaust, creating an extremely dangerous, and perhaps life threatening condition.
Failure of evap system, ventilation valve causing fuel to spew out of gas tank upon fill. Occurred / failed multiple times.
Front passenger window exploded while driving early in the morning. 1000 miles on vehicle. Only owned for 2 1/2 weeks. No visible issues or scratches and no objects found in vehicle. Body damage from glass noted on the outside.
The steering started sticking, jerking and making a popping noise about 5,000 miles and now at 6900 miles it is getting worse. When going straight it is the most noticeable as it feels like the steering binds and then when I adjust to the left or the right it frees up and jerks so that I have to overcompensate and then it jerks in the other direction. At speeds below 10 mph if I move the steering wheel left and right it makes a clunking sound. Randomly during a turn the steering sticks. All the above happens with the lane assist both on and off. When it got worse the dealer said it is the electronic power steering but the part is on back order so there is no immediate fix available.
For months, the infotainment screen has flashed on and off or delayed in coming on after vehicle has started. The delay would take minutes or hours and eventually became days. Now the screen has been completely blank for about two weeks now. You can hear the radio and adjust it with the steering wheel controls but cannot adjust it with the volume control on the infotainment center. CANNOT access any menus/apps nor make any adjustments to any safety equipment or vehicle settings. CANNOT turn the back seat reminder on when I put a child in the backseat. The back up camera does not work. I'm sure there are other safety concerns I cannot think of when not able to access certain menus or apps on the entertainment center.
Primarily at higway speeds, there is a slight binding/resistance that has to be overcomed when making a small steering correction when turning the steering wheel slightly to the right. Dealer turned off all driving assisted computer programs and said problem fixed. The problem still exsists. The steering movement is no entirely free.
The car makes loud noise when the speed was about 50-60 MPH on a highway, the RPM went above 50 - 75. It wouldn't accelerate as I pushed the gas pedal. It's not moving as required. It was scary. It's dangerous. Something is wrong with the system, or transmission. Please fix it. Thanks.
DRIVER SIDE MIRROR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING
The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 75-80 MPH, the contact rear-ended another vehicle in front. The air bags did not deploy. The impact caused soreness in her chest and lower back; however, medical attention was not received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the collision center but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not deemed totaled by the insurance company. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,300. The VIN was unavailable.
The Reverse camera unit is turning black and white often (while randomly it's switching to color). The sudden change in the image coloring is distracting me a lot while I'm driving. I had taken the vehicle back to dealership the immediate day after I bought my vehicle, they were able to reproduce it and asked me to leave the vehicle and after a week I was told the case is with Honda as there are many complaints across many vehicles, while dealer is waiting for Honda's solution and I was asked to take my vehicle. With no date for the fix, it's frustrating & puts me in lots of mental pressure. I've email thread with dealership if there needs any additional proof.
Driver side mirror vibration & shaking, blurry and hard to see from that mirror. Hood vibrating at highway speeds
Lane keeping/departure function could easily lead to an accident IMO. 1. Operation is either somewhat random, or uses complex rules to determine how to behave in differing circumstances, making it feel unpredictable. 2. Steering correction force can last too long, resulting in over-correction (could push you into oncoming traffic). 3. "Normal" setting is virtually useless—no correction until one is almost half into opposing lane. 4. On a road with no outside line, the feature could easily push the car off the road.

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.
