One of the many times my car would not start. I was trying to leave work and my Honda Hr-v would not start. [xxx] at [xxx] - I got in my car to drive to work, and it gave a stuttering sound. I contacted Honda on November 18th 2024 about the recall and was told my name would be put on a list and I’d be contacted when the part became available. My mother went into the dover, delaware Honda location today, [xxx], to inquire about an eta on the recalled part and she was told that the recalled part “was not being released”. She was also told, by the assistant service manager that he waited 8 months for this recalled part to be fixed on his vehicle. He could not give me an estimated time on when they’d receive the part, but my car is definitely affected by the recalled part (stalling and my car not being able to start are some of the issues affected by this faulty part) and I don’t want to risk my life in an accident, simply trying to get to work, while waiting for a part that Honda may not have available for 6-8 months.

It has been 6 times that we have needed to jump start the car. The time that I start it before it actually needs a jump you notice the screen and ac take a minute or two to turn on after you have already turned on the car. Today it started fine and the second time it needed a jump start. I contacted aaa the first time it happened, they checked the battery at the dealer and everything looked great on the dealers end. They mentioned to record any mishaps. My friend who has a 2023 Honda h-RV sport has reported that she is experiencing similar problems where her car also needs a jump start. I now carry a portable jumper by how often this issue has been occurring.

While driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled. The oil and battery warning lights illuminated. After shutting the vehicle off and turning it over 3 times, the vehicle's engine restarted. 2020 Honda Hr-v touring with 16,900 miles. Manufactured on 1/'20.

I recently had my car repaired for the recall and a brake job (replacing pads and resurfacing rotors). A couple of days later, I was driving on the highway at about 60mph. Suddenly, the check engine light, parking brake light, brake light, and brake system light all went on. Additionally, the car was flashing neutral, drive, and parking gears while I was in park and driving. I started to slow down and realized that as my speed got slower, each new low speed became the highest speed I could go - pressing the gas with my foot did not increase the speed. As such, I drove to a nearby garage where the lights were reset. No mechanical issues were found with the car, nor was there a warning. I then called the dealership that had performed the service (dch paramus Honda in new jersey) and I was informed that it was unlikely they would be able to diagnose any issues as the lights had been reset so the car was driveable. It seemed very dangerous that these issues could happen at any time. The brake system was put in maintenance mode during my brake job, so I suspect this was a computer issue rather than a mechanical problem.

I have had this car repaired and diagnosed by 5 different dealerships, I have had leak test done the check engine and parking brake light keep coming on with the word “park” flashing when I drive. The codes say purge valve which has been replaced 3 times!!! it also says fuel leak and they did a smoke test for a leak but nothing!! there is something faulty with this and it’s only a matter of time before it reacts poorly while driving and kills someone. There are several other people online dealing with the same issues for the 2016 Honda hrv there needs to be an investigation before someone dies from whatever is faulty in this system I have been complaining about this since 2021!!! it keeps coming back.

A dash light indicator came on in my car. The image was not in any of the materials that came with the car. At that time the lcd information on the dash flickered and went out. I cannot see how much gas I have, when I need an oil change, odometers etc. I also seem to have decreased power when I attempt to accelerate . I am also aware of 2 recalls that came out in 2021 and 2023. I had the code read and it indicated an "evaporative system leak detection". As of 5/14/2024 I had 15,828 miles on the car, in about 5 years so it should not be failing. I recently got a new job and am required to commute 50 miles each way. I am so terrified because I have tried the 2 nearest dealers in my area (union park Honda in wilm. De and Honda of springfield PA). I have received zero consideration. I have had my car scheduled to go in and I have to call them as I need a loaner. I never move up on the list and then I am treated like I did not show up (I call the day before). When I was young I had anxiety and could not drive. I worked and pushed myself to be able to drive again and I have been for years. These issues are starting to make me more fearful and anxious. I actually asked the cs rep "jade" where the car was manufactured ( japan, korea?) and if I should drive my car to japan for service. Her exact words were "that is up to you". Unbelievable.

The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The contact's daughter owns a 2019 Honda Hr-v. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving 35 mph, the vehicle shut off unintendedly, and occasionally the vehicle failed to start. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the owner's residence. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case and referred the owner to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.

Valve cover started leaking after 3rd oil change in dealership. Took it in and they retorqued to factory spec, applied silicone and cleaned it under the included drivetrain warranty. They did not replace my valve cover like I thought they would. This should not be happening on a year old vehicle with about 15900 miles.

Dear sir/madam while driving on 128 southbound the message came on the screen 12 volt battery charging system problem. Do not drive. Time 10. 54am. The noise would start in the engine compartment while accelerating, then a smell entered the cabin of the car. I pulled over one mile after at a nearby service area and when I opened up the hood I have discovered a loose belt and a loose pulley. I towed the car to the 128 Honda in reading, MA. The service didn't do much to investigate the issue and instigated that because I did not do an oil change at Honda dealer they cannot cover the malfunction by warranty until Honda corp approves it. I did my own investigation and found a broken off bolt laying in the bottom of the engine cover. I showed the discovery to them and then they voided a 240$ diagnostics charge. Then the real mechanic showed up by accident, saw the bolt and said that it did not surprise him at all. I think that the bolt pulleys bolts were overtightened and over the time they snap loose. Big issue is present for a new model 2023 Honda Hr-v and later editions possibly. Thank you dmitry gurvich.

The car stalls randomly while driving. Has stalled 5 times in less than a year. 3 times while accelerating and 2 times while coming to a stop at a stop sign. Car was dropped off to dealer for a couple days and testing and evaluated. Dealer service could not determine an issues with any systems. Car being dropped off again to the dealer today.

I parked, turned the car off and then my boyfriend, me and my dog went for 30 min walks. When we came back, we started seeing smoke coming out from a front hood, there were also flame on the right front side of the car. I immediately called 911 to describe the situation. While we were waiting for fire department, the car exploded. Insurance report stated no visual sign of tampering and fire department stated same thing.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Hr-v. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. On one occasion while approaching a light at approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The contact mentioned that the husband completed cosmetic repairs. No injuries were reported. No police report was filed. The vehicle would restart each time within 2-30 minutes. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent half a dozen times and the failure was not able to be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

On two separate occasions during February this has occurred. While at a stop sign with the brake floored the engine revved and the car started to slowly inch forward. Later in the month, at a convenience store, before shifting into park the brake was thoroughly depressed and the engine once again revved and the car started to inch forward. It only stopped when I pushed on the brake with all my might. The car had had its yearly inspection in January.

I was driving on the interstate in cruise, the car engine started revving hard. My speed jumped up to 85mph. Then all of a sudden the vehicle jerked hard and I lost all acceleration. The car rapidly decelerated. Then, the power steering, check engine, vehicle stability assist, electric parking brake, and low tire pressure lights all came on. As well as the gear indicator was unable to show if I was in drive, park, or neutral. The vehicle became very sluggish and started stuttering I had to carefully navigate between other cars flying past me until I was able to get to the side of the road, I was almost hit 3 times, once by a semi-truck. Once I got it to the side of the road I was unable to get the car to move at all. The engine would rev but the car would not move. The car was towed to the local Honda dealer in evansville, in. The dealership said that the cvt transmission belt had shattered and that the transmission needed to be replaced. I asked them about the TSB number: 21-047. They stated that I am out of the 7-year / 150k mile extended warranty so it is going to cost $7,662 to replace it. The vehicle has only 72,000 on it. I could have been killed or severely injured when this happened on the interstate.

The contact owned a 2019 Honda Hr-v. The contact stated while driving 70 mph on cruise control, the contact heard a weird noise and the vehicle deaccelerated to 0 mph without warning. The vehicle loss power and the contact could not restart the vehicle while sitting in the middle lane of the highway. The check engine and several other warning lights illuminated. While stuck in the middle lane, the contact was rear-ended on the right side by an 18-wheeler and tossed to the left side of the highway crashing into a barricade on the left front side of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the collar bone, left leg, upper front teeth and had a blood clot. The contact also suffered emotional distress. The contact was taken to the hospital by ambulance and was treated for the injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed and deemed destroyed. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.

Parts distribution disconnect.

I was driving the car home from work and all of the warning lights on the dashboard came on- the check engine light, tire pressure light, traction control light, brake warning light, and the park emergency brake light. The "park" sign and p/r/d light lights were flashing. The car would not accelerate past 35 miles without it kicking back. I was terrified to drive the car on the interstate due to the acceleration kick back. I had to take a longer route home. I prayed the entire way. I keep up with my car maintenance with oil changes, etc. I even had the transmission fluid changed one year prior to this event. I had no prior issues, messages, symptoms, or other problems with this car prior to this event. It happened suddenly. I took the car to the dealership who initially told me the issue was a p0793 sensor and then a week later informed me that I needed a new transmission. I bought this car brand new, and it currently has 90,000 miles on it. Honda posted a bulletin in April 2021 they are aware that this make, and model has transmission issues, but because I am one year outside of the extended warranty, they are not willing to work with me.

This vehicle has some serious acceleration problems. Not only has this vehicle gone into limp mode on me on a very busy city road when it was only a couple of weeks old, but it also takes forever for it to accelerate when pulling into traffic or while going up a hill. I have to press the gas pedal all the way down to the floor and still get nothing until I let up and press the gas again. I have had problems where the car will "spudder" and almost die as I'm exiting the highway coming to a stop and today it actually did completely die as I exited the highway and came to a stop at a red light. No check engine light or anything.

The parking brake engages on and off when the car is turned off. There are 3 lights flashing -check engine light -the word “park” - the parking brake light I have had the code read and it says it is the evap canister purge valve which has already been replaced, the light went off temporarily and it’s back on again. The transmission is noisy when accelerating. The purge valve keeps going bad for no apparent reason and the parking brake randomly engaging and disengaging when the car is turned off leads me to believe there is an issue overall with the build of the car. I am worried the emergency brake will engage when driving.

Car would not turn off. Says vehicles remote keyless start system problem. Won't shut off vehicle motor. Tried for over 10 minutes to turn off vehicle. Had to risk injury by removing battery terminal cable. It's been 2x it has happen. Honda sounds like recalled or extended warranty for 2016-2018 but not 2019.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Hr-v. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle jolted forward. The vehicle failed to start. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer and was informed to schedule an appointment for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was approximately 55,575.

I was never notified of the cvt belt software update and now I have to replace my whole transmission. Very frustrating how I was not informed so I can try to update before it goes out and I'm stuck. How did this happen?.

Engine failed to start when turning the key in the ignition. Occurred three separate occasions within 30 days @ 18,000. Engine light and electronic steering system lights remained on. Vehicle started after waiting one hour. On the third occasion, the car was towed to the dealer, and a service advisor experienced the same issue. However, 30 minutes later, a mechanic was able to start the engine at every attempt. There were no warning lights, other than the lights remaining on the dashboard when attempting to turn the key. (I have video of the experience - please see photo). I am submitting this notice because on all 3 occasions, Honda dealer performed diagnostics, but could not find an issue that caused the failed start. I was reluctant to keep a car with a problem that statistically would reoccur in the future, or perhaps might experience an even worse electrical problem. The dealer "bought" the car back, and sold me a 2024 - same model. There were some additional costs and of course the interest rate was higher. I agreed to all of the conditions for the new purchase, and I believe the dealer did right by me with the purchase of the newer model. However, 3 days after I purchased the 2024 Hr-v, the dealer put the 2022 Hr-v on the lot and is attempting to resell it. I find this wrong and possibly a risk to the new owner. I have every reason to believe the issue for the faulty electrical system was not discovered over the short time (3 days) from when I turned in the car, and when I saw it on the lot for resell. Other than the electrical issue, the vehicle was very reliable and I took very good care with it. If not for anticipating the problem would reoccur when I was driving or wouldn't start in an emergency, or perhaps reoccur after the warranty expired, I traded it in to the dealer and purchased a new 2024 model. Thank you.

The differential broke. I was unable to accelerate on the road; it froze up. I had to pull over and couldn't drive it. I was just outside of the Honda dealer when it happened. I took it to the Honda dealer service center in MD and this was their diagnosis. I didn't take it anywhere else. There were no warnings except I heard rattling when I was at a lower speed the same afternoon about 3 hours earlier. Otherwise, I had just completed a 100k service literally 2 weeks beforehand at Honda service and the Honda service center didn't report anything wrong with the car.

I purchased the vehicle on 2/17/22 and shortly afterwards started noticing problems starting with acceleration car wouldn’t go past 45 mph or lower. The car radio system has static can’t get reception; the battery died requiring a jump. On 9/21/22 and January 10, 2023 I took car to dealer about these problems and other concerns and they said couldn’t verify my concerns. On 5/9/23 I set out for my first long distance trip from vallejo CA, to las vegas nv after driving approximately 200-300 miles the dashboard light up light a christmas tree with several system problem warnings as follow: power steering system (eps) problem, road departure mitigation, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, emissions system problem, all wheel drive system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, hill start assist problem, tire pressure monitoring system, electronic brake distribution (ebd) continuously flashing, hold brake light, oil light flashing and the drivers and front passenger airbag light flashing. I had to stop in los angeles CA, Honda service center and they couldn’t do a diagnostic test that day and warning lights went off after technician disabled the road departure mitigation system and was told it was safe to continue on to vegas. However, all warning light as mentioned came back on and remained on. I took the car to Honda west in vegas on 5/11/23 and was told car had a misfiring code. Diagnostic test performed and multiple repair codes were detected but they couldn’t duplicate concerns, took fuel sample test and it passed, cleared dtcs performed final test verified no dtcs returned or currently present/stored and they returned car to me. On 5/15/23 left vegas and the same system warning lights came back on, stopped in los angeles again and stayed overnight and the lights were off the next morning. I took vehicle to avery green Honda after speaking to sales manager sean shahid where the car remains to date for further diagnostic testing.

In November 2022, before I even drove off the lot, when I noticed and asked about a rattling noise coming from the passenger-side front window, I was told it was normal because it’s a brand-new car. Within a few hundred miles, I began to experience issues with the car, felt the electrical problems and car felt shaky and unstable. As this continued, I’ve received a reminder from Honda about the three years of service and to schedule an appointment with a certified dealer. And I did, this is also when brought up the fact that I feel and experiences issues with the car, but it remained ignored. Fast-forward to spring 2023, issues worsen, while driving with a minor in a rear-facing car seat, I heard a loud noise that sounded like gunfire. It took a moment to realize that the rear windshield had suddenly shattered without a warning. This incident caused severe emotional distress, especially given the presence of a minor child in the vehicle. Since may 2023, the certified dealer failed to resolve the ongoing and swishing wind noise coming from the rear. This left us and our child with no safe, no reliable transportation on forward. Then, the vehicle began to turn off its monitors and exhibit more electrical malfunctions, along with engine problems. I continued bringing the vehicle in and its complimentary services and routine maintenance, reporting the problems each time, but nothing was ever resolved. Throughout the years the issues continue to worsen. Most recently, the front windshield cracked spontaneously, and within a few weeks again heard the gunfire, at that time around the sunroof, exploded suddenly and shattered without any external impact or warning. That day I’ve re-routed from and to the local dealer, slowly with the hazard lights as the shattered glass began to spread. Same day the dealer accepted the vehicle, for warranty repairs, service, further complimentary inspection that revealed even more issues. But soon after this dealer refused. . . [see attached].

Transmission failed. Left in heavy traffic with no way to move car. Yes, the vehicle has been inspected by Honda. No warnings before the failed transmission occurred. Sitting at stop light, when gas pedal depressed, no forward or backward movement.
