Body Problems of Honda CR-V - part 2

I am filing a complaint about the horn on this Honda crv model. Honda, for some reason, changed the horn system to a mono note horn that is so weak it is difficult for other motorists and pedestrians to hear. The Honda dealer told me that it is supposed to sound like that and it is not defective. This weak single note horn is used in 2023 and 2024 Honda crvs. It is referred to by fellow crv owners on forums as a "clown car" horn. It makes a very weak "toot" and in traffic, no one seems to hear it. I feel this is a safety concern and therefore, I am reporting it to NHTSA.

I was in the collision accident on the service road when my new Honda Cr-v 2023 started skidding to the left while I was making the smooth turn to the right, the vehicle was pulling to the left side of the road, hitting the metal guardrail on the driver side. Looked like I lost traction and skid from left then to the right , unable to control and maneuver the steering wheel. The vehicle was in steering recall but I was not aware of that, did not receive any notice of the recall. If this accident had never happened I probably would continue driving the unsafe vehicle and be more in a severe crash. The vehicle' steering column did not work and the vehicle was not drivable after the accident, and was towed to the car repair shop. I immediately notified the state farm insurance about the collision but nobody told me I had to call the police.

The liftgate closed on my head. I quickly moved out of the way. My husband opened the liftgate and it closed on his head. The car was in the garage with the garage door open. There was no warning. The service department at the dealership could not reproduce or confirm the malfunction.

My tailgate does not open in cold weather. It was been serviced by Honda several times. They said they fixed it and it still does not work so I cannot use my trunk at all in the winter. I have a disability and need to use my trunk for groceries and medical equipment. Now Honda says it is out of warranty and wants to charge me for something they never actually fixed (garden state Honda). Please recall and permanently fix this, many people have the same issue.

Rear liftgate struts did not hold the liftgate up and it hit me in the head. Outside temperature was 12 degrees. Aside from a minor bump and some humiliation, no injury done. But I had to hold the tailgate door to put my mailman bag in the trunk because it wouldn't stay open.

Driver side mirror cracked vertically. Honda says it is "weather related" because I told them it happened while I was driving in snow. It is not covered under warranty. This is a safety issue!.

I was in albemarle, nc on Nov 24-25 and my car was parked outside. My mirror was not cracked when I parked it Sunday night and there was not a vehicle parked next to me. It was 36 degrees outside that morning and there was frost on the car. I drove my car approximately 2 miles and it was cracked. There is no other damage to the car or mirror. I contacted my local Honda dealer to have them fix the issue but they told me this was not a warranty issue and I needed to make a claim on my insurance, which I refuse to do because it was not involved in an accident or incident. I've also filed a complaint with Honda corp directly. This issue of the side mirror cracking in cold weather appears to be an issue with a lot of 2024 crv's according to internet searches. The mirror view is now distorted and makes it difficult to view things.

The hood is not completely secure and vibrates at highway speeds. This is not an official incident but rather a general complaint. I am worried that the vibrating hood is going to eventually malfunction and fly off the car.

The harness inside the left hand side back door was crushed and shorted thereby autolock not functioning. After discussions with dealer and Honda us hq they would not cover any portion of $530 bill to replaced crush harness cable that is inside the door, even though nobody has access to this wire as it is inside the door. The only reason why it would be crushed is due to poor or incorrect assembly during manufacturing and over time it shorted out causing the autolock to stop. The only thing that is visible is the black tube that routes the wiring from door frame to inside the door. The problem is crushed wire inside door. On a door that is hardly used (left hand passenger side behind driver door). Due to safety issue, car was repaired at madison Honda at madison, NJ for $530+tax. This is an unreasonable repair expense to consumer.

The plastic silver framing above the headlights is separating from eachother on the left and right side of the hood. I have not been in any type of collision.

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.

1. My car has steering wheel gearbox recall. I contacted the dealership where I purchased the car in "phillipsburg easton Honda" but they vaguely answered me saying that they don't have the part to repair it and will let me know when they have. Without telling me any time frame to repair it. 2. The gate door malfunctions when trying to open it manually from outside using the rubber handle on the gate door. It is randomly happens, not always. 3. Lane departure warning malfunctions and in many occasions I received warning and steering wheel shakes when I drive inside the lane.

At high speeds, hood vibrates and moves abnormally up and down. The hood wobbles at highway or interstate speeds.

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.

Severe frame rot on driver’s side of vehicle just forward of rear wheel. Rear control arm bolt support location has rusted away. Discovered August 5, 2024 when up on lift for a tire rotation. Garage advised vehicle unsafe to drive. Vehicle has 96,374 miles and is out of warranty. However, Honda issued a recall on 2007-2011 crvs for same situation where vehicles were repaired or bought back. Vehicle has been inspected by 2 private garages, a Honda dealer, and a Honda collision center to assess repair options. We have been told not to drive the vehicle. I understand the warranty has expired however a failure could result in loss of control and a repair quote from a Honda collision center is $5,871. 63. If the vehicle were in an accident insurance company would total it, per arbella. Instead, we are left to spend more than 2/3 of its trade in value to repair it. It seems that the crv frame issue was not limited to the 2007-2011 model years, and I believe we should receive consideration from Honda to repair or buy back the for a vehicle. It would appear more crvs should be inspected for unsafe frame rot, and Honda should be held accountable for a design that does not let road salt and moisture drain.

From the day I drove my brand new 2025 Honda Cr-v off the lot after purchasing it, in the driver's side rear view mirror, the mirror vibrates terribly as soon as you are going 35/45+mph. The faster the speed, the worse the vibration is. You can visible see the mirror glass shaking. It is very dangerous at all times to not be able to see with this side mirror. It is especially dangerous on the highways because it distorts the view so greatly and also makes me feel disoriented and dizzy when I try to use it to safely navigate the roads. If the mirror glass were to fly off, this would lead to an even greater danger. Yes, this problem has been confirmed by a dealer. It has been brought to saratoga Honda and they replaced the entire mirror unit. The second unit had the same defect, and did the same thing. They stated if they replaced it a third time, it would not make a difference. They also drove another crv just like mine off the lot and the mirror did the same thing. This is an issue that needs to be turned into a recall. It is not okay that Honda produced vehicles with something so unsafe, with no ability to fix it.

The vehicle automatically locked while my key fob was inside the vehicle. I closed the door with the child in my car, and walked away. When I returned, I had found that the car had automatically locked and my key was inside. My child was trapped inside the vehicle. I called emergency responders who arrived quickly and was able to pry open the door and unlock the vehicle. The "walk away auto lock" feature was not activated, so it should not have locked on its own. Other car owners have reported this issue with children and pets being trapped in the vehicle. .

This issue is the vertical door trim panels directly adjacent to the windows on all four door of the vehicle. Since purchasing this vehicle in 2024 we have had to have this/these door trim panels on the drivers side replaced three times due to the sun melting the panels. Honda service is well aware of the problem, the problem is also on the internet. I have complained and filed a formal complaint with Honda asking that the vehicle be replaced, this is still pending by Honda. I believe there to be several issues of concern with this. These trims panels are very thin, if the panels degraded condition is not addressed will it come free from the vehicle and possibly fly into an open back window into the face/throat of a passenger at 55 mph or greater? will the panel come free and be propelled into another vehicle traveling behind me? will another driver lose control over this issue? I believe there to be enough sharp edges/surfaces on this panel to cause serious bodily harm at 55mph or greater. Honda, the internet (media) are all well aware of this issue, yet Honda just keeps replacing the sun melted panels with another panel that eventually melt. I have had to take the time to drop off the vehicle, pick up my wife (owner) then take her back to pick up the vehicle. When the standard warranty expires what then? these panels are obviously defective in design, why has Honda not redesigned the part to withstand sunlight/heat so that this stops happening? considering the amount of these vehicles on the road today I cannot understand why this is not properly addressed. I have an open case with Honda over this issue, I requested that the vehicle be replaced (brand new vehicle with a never ending defect/safety issue). My case number with Honda is 15594160. Please help with this (corrective engineering on replacement part) I am receiving the obligatory corporate response from Honda and I think this issue warrants more authority/stance then I have. The photo is post service.

Hood shakes when driving at highway speed.

Two actuator for the doors were said to be replaced by the previous owner in 2015. However, all four of my actuators are not working. Sometimes, it unlocks by itself when driving and I have had issues at times when I am not able to unlock the door at all. This poses safety risk to not being able to get out at times from both inside and outside.

The hood of this vehicle is supported by reinforcements from the underside. They are attached with some caulk type adhesive. The adhesive has failed causing the hood to flutter when you go over bumps or when you are on the highway. I am not sure but if the conditions are right, can the hood become detached from the supports and peel back or rip away from the vehicle? the dealer inspected the vehicle and replaced the hood. The new hood has the same failing adhesive issue. This car is 7 months old with 3500 miles on it.

On Wednesday, 4/10/24, the sunroof glass of my 2019 Honda Cr-v ex spontaneously exploded while driving on the highway. There was a startling loud sound that rendered me shocked while driving! it caused me to take my eyes off the road to look around my vehicle and in the rear-view mirror to see what had happened. Nothing hit the vehicle! luckily, there were no other vehicles nor pedestrians nearby. I maintained staying in my lane, but I was completely distracted by the sound, this could have been dangerous! also luckily, the interior sunroof shade was closed or I'd have been showered in broken glass. The service manager at the dealer I called, greensboro Honda, said "I'm not going to lie, I have heard of this happening before". There are many reports of this happening online and, according to news station reports, an NHTSA investigation that was closed in 2021 citing that it “has not identified sufficient evidence of a safety-related defect in the subject sunroof. ” on the same day the incident occurred, my vehicle was inspected by the service employees of Honda of greensboro, nc. They refused to fix the problem b/c the 'area manager", against the recommendation of the 'service manager', stated that "something must have hit the vehicle". I repeatedly insisted that nothing hit the vehicle. I have filed a claim with nationwide insurance. Greensboro of Honda did take photos and they taped the hole in the sunroof at no charge which was kind yet suspicious since I bought this 'certified pre-owned" vehicle at leith Honda of aberdeen. The greensboro Honda dealership is not owned by leith. Twice, once by phone message and once via email, I requested the email, denying the issue be fixed by Honda, between the 'service manager' and the 'area manager' at greensboro Honda be forwarded to me, to no avail. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. Note: the shape of the fractured glass hole look almost identical to others.

Driving down the highway on April 6, 2024 I hear a loud explosion and the passenger rear window had exploded sending glass flying everywhere. The window is completely exploded. Today was the first warm day that I had to turn the air conditioning on in the car and 5-10 min after I turned the air-conditioning on, the window exploded.

Extensive undercarriage rust around the frame. It looks like it should’ve been included in the recalls but doesn’t say it is.

The paint is suddenly peeling off the car in large pieces. This is occurring above the rear window. The paint is white and I've found numerous complaints of others experiencing the same issue with the Honda white paint. Honda states they will not cover this as it is no longer under warranty and there are no active recalls on this vehicle. When I asked if this was covered for the 2013 Honda crv they would not answer but suggested I could 'submit a claim to the NHTSA to have my vehicle added'. This is the first Honda I've ever owned and have never seen this happen. Honda needs to be held responsible for this repair. No car that is garage kept should have the paint peeling off it. Please advise next steps.

I got into an accident and another car hot me and my seat belt got tight and now won't even come out anymore and my airbags never deployed but yet show on dashport as if it did and my airbag sign now flashes and it used to be just on off without flashing. . .

When I unlock the key fob and put hand break to park the driver side door makes a loud squeeky sound.

Se me ha apagado varias veces al arrancar cuando me voy al trabajo . Y tengo que volverlo a encender . Siento el motor débil. El cuerpo electrónico del acelerador no anda bien. Cuando quiero acelerar rápido se me queda en stand by y hasta los 3 segundos responde el motor. Cuando estoy en un stop aplicando el freno se escucha el motor como que se quiere apagar y empieza a temblar la camioneta. A veces el motor está acelerado a 1000 rpm con el freno aplicado y a los 3 o 5 segundos ya baja a 0 rpm. En braman Honda miami me dicen que no tienen las piezas aún y me puedo accidentar si se me apaga el motor en carretera me pueden chocar por detrás y provocar un gran accidente. Necesito urgente que la reparen .

Unknown.

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.

Infotainment screen malfunction and safety issue. Also hood popped open twice while driving 65 mph causing damage.

Driver side mirror cracked on its own.

I let my daughter borrow my crv, she was coming backing from making errands going around a corner and she could not control the vehicle, she continued to try to turn the wheel in the direction she wanted to go but it would not, she ended up hitting another vehicle and came to a rest in someone’s yard. The officer on the scene did not want to sight her but had to under the law failure to control, he could see it was a mechanical failure. My vehicle has been maintained by several good mechanics but where the frame broke unless you pulled all the plastic down you would never know the frame was rotted. My daughter was 6. 5 months pregnant at the time and her doctors told her to go get emergency ultrasounds done she had 2. The day of the accident and the next day. Everything was fine. I did contact and sent some pictures to Honda and all of the information they asked for but never heard back. I did try to send pictures but it would not let me upload.
