Driving on main road (not highway), no rain or other adverse conditions. Automatic Braking System unexpectedly engaged (hard brake). There was no reason for this to happen and could have caused a serious accident if we had been on the highway. Why is there not a recall? I have seen several complaints online at [XXX] for this same year & model. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving on a highway, the vehicle suddenly lost power and could no longer maintain highway speed. It entered a reduced power mode, flashed multiple errors, and was pulled over to the shoulder and stopped. My pregnant wife, who was in the car by herself, was then stuck in a hot car on a dangerous elevated spot on a highway with high-speed traffic close by and on a limited shoulder. It had to be towed to a dealership. The dealership diagnosed a misfire in cylinder 2. The technician removed the spark plugs and found them fouled with oil, primarily one plug. Using a borescope, the technician inspected all cylinders and found a crack across the piston in cylinder 2. A head gasket failure was initially suspected but was ruled out. The oil was drained and inspected, and no metal debris was found in the drain pan. The failure was confirmed by the dealership, and a warranty claim was submitted to and approved by the manufacturer. The approved repair covers replacement of the piston, rings, rod bearing, and head gasket for cylinder 2 only, rather than the short block originally recommended by the technician. The dealership stated that root cause cannot be determined without engineering analysis of the damaged parts, which are to be sent to the manufacturer for review after the repair is complete. The damaged components are available for inspection. The vehicle had approximately 16,000 miles at the time of failure and was purchased new approximately 15 months prior. Complete loss

The factory hood anti-flutter adhesive (NVH mastic) separating the inner hood support frame from the outer sheet metal skin has failed and unbonded. As a result, the outer hood skin flexes, vibrates, and flutters severely at highway speeds, creating a distraction and posing a potential risk of structural latch or hood fatigue failure over time.

The CMBS, auto braking system is engaging and BRAKING my car for no reason. For example, driving 70mph on turnpike, it engaged on a dry road, clear day with no other cars or items in front of me. VERY dangerous. vehicles behind me could have crashed into me. happened at least 2 more times on 35/40mph with NOTHING on road. the only thing i can do is disengage it EVERY single time i start the engine. Took to my Moon Township dealer who said it can happen and sent me home. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I am reporting a severe factory design defect regarding water intrusion into the EVAP emissions system on my 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid (VIN: [XXX]) After driving home in a normal rainstorm, the vehicle threw diagnostic trouble code P24C0 (EVAP system leak detection pump switching valve stuck ON). The authorized Honda dealership diagnosed the issue as "water intrusion" and charged me an out-of-pocket fee. The dealer's official service invoice explicitly states that the water intrusion occurred from "driving through a puddle." Driving through a standard road puddle or driving in a rainstorm constitutes standard, expected, and necessary vehicle operation. The EVAP canister is a federally mandated emissions component that must legally remain sealed against atmospheric leaks. Because normal road moisture can bypass factory shielding and flood or damage this critical component, it represents a clear engineering and manufacturing defect in sealing and part placement, rather than owner negligence. Honda is systematically denying factory warranty coverage to owners for this specific issue by labeling normal road rain as "outside environmental damage." This leaves drivers facing thousands of dollars in unfair repair bills for a design vulnerability. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this systemic issue to force a formal safety recall or Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) ensuring retroactive reimbursement and a corrected undercarriage shield design.

I brought my Honda CR-V Hybrid to Brad Deery Honda on April 11, 2025, to have the steering gearbox worm gear recall inspected. At that time, I was told everything was fine. Unfortunately, I am now experiencing steering issues. When I turn the steering wheel, I hear clicking noises, and the steering does not feel smooth. I scheduled an appointment online on Friday, August 21, 2026, for September 4, 2026, to have my oil changed and the steering gearbox worm gear reinspected. Today, August 24, 2026, at approximately 2:50 p.m., I called Brad Deery Honda and spoke with Victor in the Service Department to confirm my appointment and make sure these concerns would be addressed. He asked about the steering problems, although I had already provided that information when scheduling online. He stated that they could not see the notes I submitted and informed me that I would be charged a diagnostic fee. My vehicle is still under warranty, and I am concerned about being charged a diagnostic fee for an issue related to a previously inspected recall. If the steering recall had been properly addressed when I originally brought the vehicle in, I should not be experiencing these issues now. I am requesting that the steering gearbox worm gear and my current steering concerns be addressed. I don't want to be charged for something that is still an issue from a recall. The purchase date of this vehicle is 10/05/2024

This model has a safety problem with a dangerous distraction caused by the entertainment system while backing up. When you start the car, the entertainment system begins a boot-up cycle that takes 5 to 10 seconds. During that time the driver can put the car into reverse and begin reversing. While driving in reverse, when the entertainment system finishes starting up, it will resume whatever it was doing when the car was shut off. If the radio was on, the radio will come on. If bluetooth was selected, it will send a "play" command to the attached bluetooth device. This is dangerously distracting to the driver. Worse, it is impossible to turn the entertainment system off when the car is in reverse. If driver wishes to not be dangerously distracted by the loud audio, they need to (1) stop moving, (2) shift into D, (3) tap the "acknowledge" button on the touchscreen display, (4) only then can they turn off the audio. In short, the driver is forced to choose between being distracted by unwanted audio, or to disrupt their reversing maneuver to fumble awkwardly with the controls, with the potential that they may not be as careful when they resume backing up. SOLUTION(S) 1 - reprogram the entertainment system so that it is possible to turn off the audio system while in reverse, by tapping the power knob (this is the normal way to turn it off, but it is disabled while backing up). 2 - mute audio while in reverse. 3 - reprogram the entertainment system so that it does NOT send a "play"

My concern is with the tire pressure monitoring system. The vehicle does not show the individual PSI for each tire. Instead, when there is a tire pressure concern, it alerts the driver and instructs the driver to pull over somewhere safe and manually check the tire pressure. The issue became more concerning after one of my tires was replaced with a different tire brand than the other tires. Since then, the vehicle has continued to display a warning message on the dashboard to check the tires. This creates a serious safety issue because if the warning message is already constantly appearing, I may not be properly alerted if there is an actual tire problem, such as a flat tire, dangerously low tire pressure, or another tire failure. The warning becomes less reliable because the driver cannot easily tell whether the alert is due to the existing tire mismatch issue or a new, urgent tire safety problem. This is especially concerning to me as a mother of babies. I frequently drive with my children in the vehicle, and I rely on the vehicle’s safety systems to provide clear and accurate warnings. If the tire pressure system is already giving an ongoing warning, I may not know when there is a real and immediate tire issue that could affect the safety of my children and me while driving. I also believe it is a safety issue that the vehicle requires the driver to pull over and manually check tire pressure instead of displaying the individual tire pressures on the dashboard.
