2025 Honda CR-V complaints

Steering wheel became locked or froze up during drive. It happened several times on different days without advanced warning. Service department of dealership checked it but didn’t find anything wrong, they didn’t observe this problem during checking. But this problem persists after I drove the car back from service dept. I am so afraid that it will result in serious accidents.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The driver side mirror shakes, which makes it difficult to use, particularly at high speeds.

The component due to an improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel, the wheel can swell during use, reducing the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear in which this was recalled on Oct 3, 2024 but did not discovered it until Oct 13, 2024 in an incident caused by the recall. All of the sudden my steering wheel became hard to maneuver and when I had difficulty turning it, I had something from the issue, as a result the under cover of the car got damaged due this issue in which I didn’t find out when I tried to schedule a service appointment on the Honda website. No the dealer or anyone has reproduced as it was a one time incident. No there was no prior warning about the steering wheel.

The speedometer can report zero (0) when the car is moving slowly. This is probably the rounding policy in software. The actual speed was maybe 0.4 mph, but was reported as zero mph. If the actual speed was 10.4 mph but reported as 10, fine, not a big deal, but zero has a much different meaning than any other value. It means none, that the car isn't moving, but the car was.

Per dealer service department, cylinder one (1) rocker arm/lifter was getting stuck and caused a system and transmission failure.

While I was in my apartment parking garage, I had my automatic trunk door opened. While I was standing in range, the door came down and hit me in the head. As a result I sustained a concussion. I did have the keys in my hand , so I may have accidentally activated the trunk door to close. However, my concern is that there is such sensor to stop the trunk door from continuing to close, or it doesn’t work. I called the dealer and they told me that there is sensor, but it only stops once it’s made contact. I believe this is very dangerous and should be evaluated. As I stated earlier I am now suffering from a concussion.

2025 Honda CRV EX-L purchased [XXX]. Unable to drive car at night due to headlights. Extremely poor illumination. I am [XXX] with 20/20 vision. The headlights on low beam barely illuminate the road. I have spent $51,000 on a car that I am unable to drive after sunset. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased the car today, August 20, 2024. I haven’t had the car 24 hours. I drove home. I was showing someone my car. I opened the back hatch and shut it and the glass shattered.

Passenger side rear window shattered while driving. No visible reason as to why.

Right after purchase, the hood wobbled up and down at highway speeds. When passing a semi traveling the opposite direction at 60 mph on a two lane section of road, it jumped enough to make me wonder if the latch had come loose and the hood was going to open. I notified the dealer to have it looked at and it was discovered that welds holding the hood were broken. A new hood is being ordered and it is being replaced at no charge. I am reporting this issue in case this is not an isolated incident.

Purchased a new 2025 CRV Touring from EdVoylesHonda in Marietta GA on [XXX] with my hard-earned savings because my Accord was totaled in an accident. Picked it up on [XXX]. I found a safety issue where CarPlay is not playing audio output from any Maps (Apple/ Google/ Waze) if I’m in on a call. Apple designed the Apple Maps to chime if anyone is in a call while using CarPlay. I brought up this issue on 5/25 to the dealer but was told it’s an expected behavior. Not satisfied with the answer, I went to HondaConyersGA to do some digging and found that this issue doesn’t apply to Android Auto and any lower trim (ie. Sport L). The issue is consistent across 2023-2025 CRV Touring trim. I went back to EdVoylesHonda service on [XXX] and [XXX] only to be discredited on my findings, and the service manager said that it might be a compatibility issue with Bose speakers. It was deemed normal since all Gen 6 Touring has the same behavior. I was also told that the turn-by-turn also plays on the screen and should be keeping an eye on the screen instead. This is disturbing because I’m trying to limit my attention to the screen as much as possible, and sounds like a safety issue. A ticket was also opened with Honda Customer Service on 5/28, but haven’t heard any statement or a path to move forward since the case manager said that they can only document the issue. Either Honda needs to take the car back and let me get a car that’s working or have a commitment to resolve this issue. INFORMATION
