STEERING

The steering started sticking on sept. 1st. I was driving on croatan highway in obx nc I was surprised because it never did that before. My son in law is. Honda certified mechanic. He said it was sticking. But he could not fix it because Honda needed to fix it. I took it to Honda in va. For my oil and filter change and to check steering. The mechanic said it was sticking. And filmed the inspection. There was a recall Nov. 2024 on the steering. I took it in on Jan. 18 2024 I am sending info.

In April, I returned to my vehicle in my employer’s parking lot in Cranberry Township, PA and found the rear window completely shattered, with glass both inside and outside the vehicle. I immediately contacted my Honda service center and was told there were no reported issues or recalls. Because the vehicle was unsafe to drive, I contacted my insurance company to arrange the repair. My employer reviewed the security footage and confirmed that no one approached the vehicle between the time I arrived and the damage was discovered. Once it was determined that there was no vandalism, accident, or outside cause, I contacted Honda Customer Service. I was then told that Honda was aware of a safety issue involving the rear window, that Honda would cover the replacement cost, and that I should submit a reimbursement claim. I submitted the AutoGlass Now receipt for $441.76 and my credit card statement. I paid a $100 deductible, and State Farm paid the remaining balance. Neither State Farm nor I should bear costs resulting from Honda’s acknowledged rear window issue. I requested that Honda promptly reimburse my $100 deductible and reimburse State Farm. It is a battle. The incident created a major safety concern. I am grateful it occurred while the vehicle was parked rather than on a major highway with family members inside, where sudden rear window failure could have posed a serious hazard. Still, I was left after work with an unsafe vehicle 40 minutes from home, had to cover the rear window in case of rain, arrange for my sister to pick me up, and wait several days for the repair to be completed. It is most disturbing that this issue was already known and could have been fixed before this catastrophic failure. Something should be done about this before lives are lost. Also, when reaching out to the Honda service center, they don't acknowledge the issue and direct you to your insurance company so that Honda is not responsible for the full cost of the repair.

STEERING

The contact owns a 2023 Honda HR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to turn in the intended direction. Additionally, the steering wheel was sticking and was firm. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with steering rack failure. The contact was informed that the steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was a known failure with similar vehicles. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

SEATS

My driver's seat when I raise the height lowers in 1 week whereby I cannot safely drive the car because the seat is to low and cannot see above the dashboard.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Rear windshield exploded

SEAT BELTS

I got a "supplemental restraint problem. See your dealer." message on my car's dashboard. My car is available for inspection upon request. The air bags may not deploy in a crash, and this poses a critical safety problem. I haven't taken it to a dealer or independent center yet. It hasn't been inspected by anyone yet. There weren't any lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I purchased a brand new 2023 Honda HR-V. Recently, the passenger-side LED headlight assembly suddenly stopped working, and I had to pay $1,500 out of pocket to replace it at a Honda dealer. Shockingly, just one month later, the driver-side LED headlight also completely failed. Having both major LED headlights fail within a single month on a vehicle less than 3 years old indicates a severe factory defect, likely caused by a faulty Body Control Module (BCM) or a voltage spike in the electrical system. This poses a critical safety hazard for nighttime driving. Honda refused to cover it under warranty due to high mileage, but this is clearly not normal wear and tear.

On 5/232026 .. there was a severe thunderstorm . No hail . No signs of cracked window prior or as I approached my Honda 2023 HRV . I got in car and noticed windshield were foggy so I turned on both defroster. 10 mins later I heard a loud “boom “ in the back of my car.. I was starteled and immediately turned around and noticed the rear windshield was shattered and had a circular shaped broken glass hole. I never rolled anything on the street and no none was in sight .. I approached my home and parked the car and immediately checked the back to see if a rock or some sort was in the trunk however there was no evidence of that . Researching I notice many others have experienced this random spontaneous shatttering related to manufacturing error of window/defroster glue on defroster coiling . This was a huge danger for anyone in the back including myself the driver .. I’m very upset that Honda has not set a full recall on this other customers . I could have or another person sustained a serious injury. Now I’m waiting to get this repair which is a huge inconvience because all weekend it has stormed and having a garbage bag as a cover is so embarrassing ., I’m very displeased with Honda right now .

STEERING

The steering wheel hard to turn. Need more effort to turn. Feel a notch or sticking in the wheel. The steering makes squeaking sound when turning. The dealer where I bought the car cannot find the problem.
