I have a 2020 Honda hrv and the gas gauge flickers on and off. I have overheard technicians say this is a common problem with the hrv. The dealer wants to charge 177 to hook it up on the computer to diagnose the hrv. This hrv has only 20,000 miles on it. It has struts that are going bad and this hrv has had all the services done. My wife drives it 2. 6 miles a day. I think these issues need to be looked into further.
While driving, the vehicle experienced a serious steering malfunction. The right front wheel does not respond properly to steering input, while the left wheel responds normally, resulting in uneven steering and loss of directional control. The issue occurred without warning and created an immediate safety risk, especially during turns and lane changes. The vehicle became difficult to control and unsafe to operate. The problem has occurred more than once and is not consistent with normal wear and tear for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A Honda dealership inspected the vehicle and recommended replacement of the complete steering rack, including inner tie rods, boots, and clamps. The dealership also recommended replacement of the right drive axle due to a damaged outer joint. No warning lights or dashboard messages appeared prior to the failure. The vehicle required inspection and repair due to the safety risk.
I hit a curb going about 10mph the axel bent and the whole wheel pop off with the shock and everything. It totaled the car I’ve tried to report to Honda no reply.
Please contact me directly via email or phone for further details.
I was driving and the car suddenly started shaking. The car began losing control and I came to a stop as a curb was hit. A further inspection revealed my cv joint was broken. I did not hit anything to cause the cv joint to be broken. Also the departure lane was not activated.
During a short drip in August 2023 was the first time I noticed the steering "freezing" on the highway and jolting when I tried to control it. I had to use considerable force to hold and direct the steering throughout the trip and back. Still, on the trip, it sometimes felt as if the vehicle was floating and the steering had no grip. It was such a risky and exhausting trip for me because of this problem. On November 30th, 2023, I was on the highway again and experienced it. The steering felt stiff and at times, the front wheels felt like they were being magnetically pulled away in a different direction. I felt so unsafe with other fast-moving vehicles on every side as I struggled to keep the steering aligned. I had to use a good amount of force to grip and direct the steering and found myself praying for safety as I drove. It was certainly hazardous as it could endanger my life and those of others. I called the dealership to lay a complaint. They asked me to bring the car over to them, but I am in a different location and frightened to drive the car for hours to them and then more hours from there back to my base. I asked if I could take it to a nearby dealership but was told I'd have to pay hundreds of dollars for diagnostics. If they could direct me to a nearby dealership to run diagnostics for free, I would be willing to do that. There have not been warning signs indicated by the vehicle so far. I got this car in March and it has less than 3000 miles on it. I don't know what to do. I feel as if I've made a mistake purchasing it.
Original tires, breaks & shocks were on the vehicle. The dealership told me they were new. I had this car for a year. The car was sold 19,000. 00 overpriced and now it's worth 13,000. 00.
Dashboard light goes dark when driving, I’m told by Honda it is a cluster malfunction not under warranty or recall, my vehicle has under 14,000 miles original owner. Also the tire light indicator stays on.
The first tire damage happened on 1/10. We were driving back from the city. There was a loud noise, but kept driving because we were on the bridge. The following day Honda dealer did the following: 1/11 right rear tire was replaced due to side wall damage; while car was at the dealer, Honda claims the technician, due to internal negligence (what does that mean?) caused damage to sidewall: 1/11 left front tire replaced "due to internal negligence"; on February 24th, while driving back from nyc, almost on the george washington bridge, when there was loud sound. I think I hit a pot hole: at the Honda dealer on 2/25 where the left rear tire replaced due to severe damage to sidewall; on March 8, while driving on route 4 pressure light suddenty turned Honda dealer on3/9 where low tire pressure light on, diagnosis was too much tire pressure so adjusted three tires replaced all due to sidewall damage. I do not think this is a coincidence. That is too many tires being damaged for the same reason. The car has 8646 miles on it. When tire was replaced 2/25, tire pressures were also checked. Then by 3/9, all tires had too much air. There has to be something wrong with the tires or the car. I do not feel safe driving this car anymore, wondering when the next "severe damage to the sidewall" will happen.
I live on a dirt road. When the road is wet, the wheels collect mud around the rear surface while driving, then the mud settles to the bottom while the car is stationary, dries, and throws the wheels out of balance. Sometimes the wheels are so badly unbalanced they shake violently above 50 mph and is impossible to drive safely at highway speeds. This began happening almost immediately after purchasing the car new in 2016. I took the car to the dealer for inspection and repair of this problem several times. Their solution was to remove, wash and remount the wheels. They did it for free twice but then informed me they would charge me each subsequent time this service is needed. This problem is obviously a recurring problem and has required repair several times since I stopped going to the dealer, but the dealer refuses to acknowledge that this is a chronic problem or safety issue. I contacted american Honda and they told me the same, stating their wheels meet all legal requirements. As a former auto mechanic, I believe unbalanced, skipping wheels are a serious safety concern. So, every month or two, or whenever I need to do freeway driving, I have to jack up the car, remove the wheels, power wash the dry dirt from the back sides, and replace them to achieve balance and get the vibrating and bouncing to stop. I have never owned a car or heard of a car where this is a reasonable maintenance expectation that a mfr. Or dealer expects an owner to take on. This has been extremely frustrating, and I believe these wheels are poorly designed and a safety issue.
