Over a distance of 1,718 miles, I measured my vehicle’s actual fuel consumption by recording odometer readings and fuel volume at each refill. I then compared these values to the average fuel economy (MPG) displayed on the vehicle's trip computer. The dashboard consistently underreported fuel consumption by approximately 8% ± 2%, always showing more optimistic (i.e., better) fuel economy than actually achieved. This discrepancy is repeatable and was observed over multiple refueling intervals. The vehicle and its onboard display system are available for inspection upon request. This inaccurate fuel economy reading does not present a direct safety hazard, but it can mislead drivers into overestimating range and efficiency, and may influence consumer decisions based on performance data that does not match real-world usage. Additionally, such behavior—if widespread—could be considered a form of consumer deception. I submitted a detailed written request to an authorized Honda dealership (Victory Honda of San Bruno) asking them to compare actual fuel consumption to the displayed value under controlled conditions. However, the dealership did not perform the required measurements or reset the trip computer, and no technical analysis or documentation was provided. The manufacturer’s customer service reviewed the complaint but closed the case without addressing the technical discrepancy or providing a specification that defines acceptable error for the fuel economy display.

Twice in the last week while driving with the Adaptive Cruise Control on the car has gone into the "collision mitigation" mode where the brakes engage with no warning but there was nothing in front of the car to cause this to happen. Both times were going up a small hill and on the other side of the hill was a police cruiser so we presume there was something (RADAR?) that the police were using that caused the car to sense we were about to collide. These situations are a shock to the driver and passengers, and would be worse if the car following us were to rear end us! The radar conflicts should be nothing new to the NHSTA.

Forward Collision Avoidance › Automatic Emergency Braking

While driving along in a normal manner the anti collision braking system applies the brakes causing a violent de acceleration of the vehicle, throwing the occupants in the car forward in a very disconcerting manner along with throwing articles in the car forward violently towards the occupants and windshield. There was no discernible reason why the vehicle should have done this as there was nothing in front of the car that was subject to an uncontrollable collision. This has happened to me and my wife a total of three time and we haven’t owned the vehicle for even a year yet. The first time this happened the problem was brought to the attention of the selling dealer who in their dealership shop said their technicians had gone over the car electronics and sensors and found nothing wrong. They moved our “easy pass” transponder and said it may have caused the mishap. I don’t think so as it was not within the “eyesight “ of the forward looking camera.

Last week noticed my car to start shaking from the front area when I went from a full stop and began accelerating. When I also turn on my vehicle and it was idling it would shake too. I took it to the dealer and they said they couldn’t find the issue until I got in the car with them and showed them the noise. They said today that it needs new fuel injectors.

Subject: Safety Concern – Hood Instability on 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Dear NHTSA, I am writing to formally report a potential safety defect with my 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid. The hood does not close securely and exhibits visible gaps, uneven alignment, and noticeable movement or rattling at highway speeds. This raises serious concerns about the structural integrity of the hood and the possibility of it disengaging while driving. I brought this issue to Lia Honda, where I was told the movement is “by design” and not a defect. However, the instability is significant enough to cause distraction and fear of hood failure at high speeds. I believe this warrants further investigation, especially as I’ve learned that other CR-V Hybrid owners have reported similar experiences. I respectfully request that this issue be documented and reviewed as a potential safety defect. I am happy to provide photos, videos, or additional documentation upon request.

I’m reporting a high-pitched noise issue with my 2025 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid. At highway speeds (approximately 68–74 mph), a persistent, high-frequency tone becomes audible from the front driver’s side of the vehicle. It is sharp, constant, and noticeably affected by the vehicle’s battery charge and speed. There are no warning lights, messages, or error indicators. However, the sound is extremely distracting and physically uncomfortable to endure. My wife has a preexisting auditory condition (tinnitus), and this sound makes it extremely difficult to drive or ride in the vehicle without pain or aggravation. It has made the vehicle nearly unusable for her on highways. I’ve brought this to a dealership, where multiple technicians and even a factory engineer inspected the vehicle. They confirmed the presence of the sound using audio measurement tools, and noted that similar sounds are present in other CR-V Hybrids. Despite this, I was told by the manufacturer that the sound is “normal” and that no fix is currently available. This issue has been present since I first took possession of the vehicle. The dealership and manufacturer have confirmed that it exists, but no resolution has been provided. While I may be one of the first people to raise the issue, I believe this may become a much broader concern. A continuous, high-pitched noise at highway speeds could be dangerous—it might distract drivers, cause fatigue, or even lead to long-term hearing discomfort or damage. I am hoping

My windshield wipers are ineffective. The liquid cleaner does not spray until the wipers are pointing out, thus causing the liquid spray to roll off the car and NOT clean the spots in the driver's field of vision.

103H tire So after I get the car from dealership, the next week I had a sign or tire low pressure by the dashboard and I start checking everyday and I figured out that is specifically is by the driver side tire is low pressure. First I took it to discount tire to see and they said I don't see any flat tire or any issues and he pump them all and tried to balance them . But still the sign in the dashboard so I decided to take it to dealership and they said maybe only the dashboard computer and they fixed it and was not showing that day as the sign went from TEMPS setting. Next day I have the sign again pops up and I scheduled second appointment with the Honda west dealership to check entire tire.They did and said we didn't see anything wrong and we fixed it again in the dashboard.i went home and next day same issue again the dashboard sign shows low pressure and also the tire itself went low pressure was not balanced everytime they blow air on it and goes low again in few minutes.i bring it again for third time and the worse sinario is that the mechanical agent touch something in the engine and the oil explodes all over the engine areas causing leak and smoke all over and oil splashed everywhere inside and outside and I have videos and photos.

As I was driving it felt as if the car was running a bit rough, hesitating/sputtering a bit when I pressed on or let up on the gas. As I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and slowed to go over a speed bump I noticed what looked like the battery indicator show up next to the speedometer & completely lost power. I put it in neutral and tried to restart it. It was as if the battery had run down and then it finally caught but sputtered. I revved the engine and was finally able to pull into a parking spot. I shut the car down for a couple minutes then restart it to drive back home. It still did the hesitation/sputtering thing on the way home. It continued the next day on my 20 mile commute into work but has been driving fine for a couple days now.

I am writing to formally report the theft of a sensor that occurred on 05/20/2025, which I believe was a direct result of its insecure placement. Unfortunately, its position left it vulnerable to unauthorized access and theft. I would like to raise the concern that the placement and securing method of the sensor did not adequately consider the risk of theft, especially in an area with public or easy access. I request that the matter be investigated thoroughly and that steps be taken to prevent such incidents in the future, such as: •Reviewing placement protocols for all outdoor or publicly accessible sensors, •Enhancing physical security measures (e.g., tamper-proof casings, CCTV coverage), •And, replacing the stolen equipment promptly. The car has several safety problems due to the censor missing critical safety features.

With 700 miles on our 2025 CR-V Ex-L owned for only a month, we had just exited from a 100-mile highway trip onto city streets near our home when the driver display suddenly started flashing warnings of failures for ALL driver safety systems, one after another, causing us to immediately stop in the middle lane filled with traffic and not knowing what to do or how to proceed. We pulled over at the next stoplight & quickly put the car in park, which stopped the endless warnings. When the stoplight turned green, we proceeded on the half mile trip home without further warnings. We have not moved the vehicle since the incident so have no idea if &/or when this might happen again. I have since found multiple online reports of the same type of event happening to other CRV owners, with dealer repair shops "guessing" what is causing the problem & "fixing" everything from fuel injectors & sensors to engine harnesses and battery replacements to vehicle computer updates and cylinder misfires, often with the problem recurring anyway. See: 1. [XXX] 2. [XXX] A number of CR-V owners reporting this issue say their vehicle immediately slowed to "limp mode" down to 35mph on the freeway, which was very scary and dangerous! Since we were driving at city speed we cannot know if our car also experienced Limp Mode. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Reversed several feet out of parking space in unobstructed lot. Car abruptly stopped and most systems shut down. Driver depressed brakes to assess. Two warning lights were present - battery and engine. Driver ensured parking brake off and brake hold off. No vehicles, people, or other objects nearby. Driver slowly depressed gas pedal; car would not budge. Driver depressed brakes and shifted into drive; driver slowly depressed gas pedal but car would not respond at all. Driver turned the car completely off. Upon restarting, battery/engine light turned off and car drove normally to dealership. The car had <250 miles on it at the time. Dealer stated that no engine codes were retained. Dealer stated verbally that it is likely a "computer glitch" as the car is new and "just breaking in." Dealer stated that car "probably won't do it again." Written documents indicate that dealer suspects a failure in reverse automatic braking system. After car released to owner without addt'l testing, owner tested reverse automatic braking system. The system worked as expected - the car braked when it detected a close object in its field, it omitted the correct audible warning sounds and visual lights, and continued to perform when the driver depressed the braking system. Additionally, due to the newness of the car, the driver is extremely confident that no objects were around - the driver had been parking far from other vehicles to avoid dings. This "computer glitch" is potentially fatal as the car

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 am filing a formal complaint regarding the safety systems on my 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L, particularly the overly aggressive Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and intrusive Lane Keep Assist. While driving my children to school, my CR-V violently slammed the brakes because a scooter was creeping toward an intersection — clearly not entering traffic. The rider and I made eye contact, fully aware of each other, and there was an open left lane for evasive action if needed (it wasn't). Despite my clear judgment, the CMBS intervened, causing a violent deceleration that launched objects inside the vehicle, scared everyone, and increased the risk of a rear-end collision. I am shocked that Honda eliminated the hardware button to quickly disable CMBS. Now drivers must perform a multi-step procedure every time the vehicle starts — an unreasonable and unsafe burden. I previously owned a 2014 Accord and was a loyal, satisfied customer. I love nearly everything else about the CR-V, but these flawed "safety" systems are a potential deal-breaker. Sudden deceleration can cause concussions and greatly increase the chance of secondary accidents. Lane Keep Assist has created additional dangers. When I move slightly within my lane to create space from a semi-truck, the system unnecessarily corrects my steering. This is distracting and unsafe. Good drivers adjust dynamically, but these systems undermine good judgment rather than enhancing safety. Technology that overrides competent drivers

The windshield washer system on my new Honda CRV is not operating to effectively clean the windshield. The washer fluid is sprayed from nozzles on the windshield wipers, only briefly at the far left end of the wiper travel arc. On the driver’s side, the washer fluid sprays only on the far left two inches of the windshield, which the wiper does not contact. The passenger’s side of the windshield, receives no sprayed washer fluid (the fluid sprays only at the end of the wiper travel arc, in a narrow band in the middle portion of the windshield). Both wipers simply smear any dirt/debris on the dry windshield making visibility worse. I now carry a spray bottle and paper towels in my vehicle so I can pull over to clean the windshield when necessary. The windshield washer system on my vehicle is available for inspection. The windshield washer does not effectively clean the windshield, since the washer fluid is not sprayed over the entire windshield. The dry wipers simply smear any dirt or debris on the windshield making visibility worse. Specifically, the area in the driver’s line of sight is not effectively cleaned, creating a safety hazard. The vehicle windshield washer was inspected by the dealer’s service department, which also inspected other CRVs on the dealer’s lot, all of which exhibited the same issue. The District Manager is also aware of this issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No No warning

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.

Complete electrical failure of all components of the vehicle when the power switch was turned off after parking. Emergency flashers, brake lights, headlight and horn also would not work. I discovered the positive electric cable bracket, on the battery, was broken and held together only by the red plastic cover. The bracket is very thin compared to other vehicle battery cable connections on other cars. It appears that the bracket (with red cover on it) was bumped during vehicle assembly cracking the bracket. The red cover hid the damaged bracket until it broke completely today. If the vehicle does start, it will run normally. When the positive cable loses connection, the vehicle continues to operate normally until it is shut off. Then all systems shut down immediately. Recommend Honda redesign the cable bracket to make it less prone to breakage.

I have seen lots of internet posts about exploding sunroofs, well this happened to our vehicle on the freeway. There was no overpass/rocks/cars near and the sunroof exploded, unfortunately my sliding-shade was open when this happened blowing glass debris all over the inside of our vehicle. My [XXX] son and mother-in-law were in the back seat covered in glass. We are VERY fortunate that no one was injured from this, this seems to be a more common thing and should be addressed from Honda or the glass manufacturers. They need to look into a safer glass design so that this does not cause a bigger freak accident, especially on the freeway. We were also very fortunate that our local Honda dealership stepped up to replace it and offered a clear tint for the inside as protective insurance - just in case it happens again. They also provided us with a car until it was repaired. I did speak to a service writer about this and they said that there have been three other incidents at their dealership. I know there are other car manufacturers that are having problems with this too. This has made me very nervous about riding with my family-of-four with the sliding-shade open now.

While driving on local roads to break in the engine, the car stalled from fifty miles per hour to five miles per hour for about five seconds at mile approximately 100 and 650. No cross traffic or pedestrians. The car detected and warned another car more than three hundred feet away at approximately five hundred miles and nine out of ten times fails to recognize a car a few feet away. The master mechanic did a ride-along and witnessed the Collision Mitigation System failure. Offered ‘re-aim’ as a solution. A week later, he confirmed that he did not expect it to fix it. It was to satisfy me. The service manager repeated the same a week later that the fix was to go through ‘motion’. The dealer is relying on computer codes and ignoring the human observation of the problem during the ride-along. The master mechanic suggested that if there should be a rear-end collision, it would be the fault of the car behind. That is not a risk I like to take with my daughter on a highway. The car sees obstacles that are not present and fails to see the obstacles that are a few feet away.

After getting a tire rotation done for 2025 Honda CRV LX at 9199 miles at the dealership, when I took it out of their hands, I heard a consistent mechanical noise coming from one of the tires. I returned the car immediately back to the dealership to diagnose this issue. The dealership service center said that the car had a driver side broken wheel bearing, and it would take two days to get the part and fix it. I don't know if the dealership kept the broken part or threw it away. I regularly drive this car long distances on the highway, so having a broken wheel bearing puts me and other drivers at risk of a crash. The vehicle has not been inspected by others other than the dealership. There were no warning messages or other symptoms before. Only immediately after getting a tire rotation did this happen.

Service Brakes
Filed Mar 6, 2025VA

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)

When starting my car, it started rumbling and then the following alerts came on: transmission, emissions, power, and blind spot sensor. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they noted that cylinder 4 fuel injector went bad and also cylinder 4 spark plug went bad. It was covered under warranty; however the car was not safe to drive until the above parts were changed out to working parts.

Forward Collision Avoidance › Adaptive Cruise Control
Filed Feb 23, 2025IA

With Adaptive Cruise Control on, without touching brake or cruise controls, while passing semi trucks (also happens but less frequently with all vehicles), the Adaptive Cruise Control will pause or disengage, causing the vehicle to lose speed and momentum. Vehicles trailing the vehicle at this time are not aware of this sudden change in constant speed, creating a potential serious accident at highway speeds. Problem has occurred numerous time over the life of the vehicle (2 months). Is repeatable.

I purchased a 2025 Cr-v on 1-30-2025 on 2-1-2025 after 33 miles the emissions light came on. I notified the dealership and i brought the car in on 2-3-2023 and on 2-5-2025 I picked up the car. then on 2-7-2025 the same light came on and the dealer picked up the car on 2-10-2025 and on 2-13-2025 they said it was fixed plus they put 65 miles on the vehicle as per tech advise to make sure it was fixed. now on 2-17-2025 the same light came on and dealer once again came to take the car. this warning light message expresses that while driving power may be reduced so I don't think it would be safe on the highway. at this time 2-17-2025 the car was picked up and brought to the dealer so I didn't receive a work order yet

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.
