What is a recall, really?
A recall means the government made the manufacturer admit a safety defect — and the fix is free at any dealer, forever, even for used cars. Recalls range from a software update to "the steering wheel can detach," so read the danger line on each one. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof each recall was completed, or have a dealer run the VIN. Recalls also have a quieter cousin worth reading: technical service bulletins.

Where owners report the most trouble — based on 1,074 complaints (30 involved a crash, 2 a fire). Tap a part to read the real reports.
Raw count — best-sellers naturally log more complaints than rare cars, so judge it against the peer comparison below, not on its own.
Why don't we show complaints per vehicle sold?
Because no official source publishes sales counts per model — that data is sold by private firms, and the free numbers online are guesses. A rate built on a guessed denominator is a guess wearing a lab coat, so we refuse to show one. Instead we show comparisons where fleet size cancels out or is disclosed: the same model across its own years, the crash/fire severity mix, and the peer ranking below — each with its methodology attached.

Car stops suddenly on highway, going into, "limp mode." All dash warning lights came on. Rich emissions. VTM-4 issue. This is an ongoing issue with CR-Vs, yet manufacturer has issues no solution, clearly opting to work each situation independently. Therefore, manufacturer saves the time and money associated with these repairs.
Vehicles harness leading to auto dimming rear view mirror was defective and a wire split rendering all my braking capability. The ABS system felt like it was reversing the brakes EVERYTIME I stepped on the pedal. I hit my garage door because of this: Honda wanted me to pay to fix the wire because "I had a handicap plate that probably broke the wire" yet I never put my handicap placard on my mirror but rather on my dashboard. My brakes are electronically controlled due to it having an electric brake booster and AEB, radar cruise control and more. I could have been killed. HONDA DIDNT CARE, made me take the car with no brakes.
Vehicle has had phantom braking and accelerations, occurrences of "Christmas tree dashboard" with all system alerts going off - have been intermittent, far between and unsure how to go about presenting to dealership or auto repair due to this - however THIS OCCURRED TODAY AND CAUSED A COLLISION/ ACCIDENT! My looking into the issue online has shown that this is a problem that many others have also had and that NHTSA has opened an investigation into it with honda! AGAIN - MY VEHICLE IS NOW DAMAGED AND I AM INJURED DUE TO THIS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION/ERROR! Today while in slow moving traffic to turn onto interstate, car started having the phantom breaking and jolting forwards out of my control. All of the system failure alerts started going off (I've been able to clear in the past by turning off and turning on car multiple times in a row and on the 5-7th restart they go away) - while slowing moving forward across railroad tracks - the railroad lights and barriers then also started to decend (unexpectedly, as they had just been down shortly before - less than 2 minutes) - I attempted to accelerate forward to clear my vehicle from the tracks and my vehicle jolted forward - despite my own braking, the vehicle's forward collision mitigation also failed and the brakes did not/would not apply hard enough (or as hard as I was applying) in order to prevent collision with vehicle in front of me. I attempted to veer to the left at the last second to avoid any collision - which limited damage to truck in front of me to very minimal, but my car's front right is moderately damaged. ADDITIONALLY - driver airbag deployed despite speed being under 35mph and collision not at a level that warranted airbag deployment - thus ALSO INJURING ME AND CAUSING ADDITIONAL CAR DAMAGE. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY DUE TO PERSON INJURIES AND VEHICLE IMPAIRMENT!
On June 17, 2022 I had front end collision. I was stopped at a traffic light and went to move up closer to the car in front of me. When I touched the accelerator my accelerated very quickly in and removed my foot from the pedal. The engine continued to rev even though my foot was on the break. I was not seriously injured. The car that I hit had 2 people in it and they looked ok at the scene. I think they are being evaluated for injuries. I am waiting to take it to Progressive Insurance Network collision center. But they don’t seem to be interested in anything but body work.
I was driving into a parking lot behind my store, as I approached my parking space going roughly around 5-7mph the brakes engaged by itself for a brief second (as if i had slammed on the brake pedal and let go) leading me to lose control and hit the wall/back door of my store. All warning lights are now on, damaged the front bumper and I'm guessing the radar sensor in the front. Called my insurance to try to file a claim, if not covered will try to contact the dealership.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. DICK HANA HONDA (3321 NE AUTO MALL DR, VANCOUVER, WA 98662, (360) 342-9660) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and attempting to make a left or right turn, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver, with an abnormal clicking sound coming from the steering wheel. No warning light was illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed; however, the result was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The steering wheel is sticky or “catching,” especially on straight away at higher speeds. This model was recalled for a similar issue in 2017-2018.
The steering gearbox failed. Once we have the car fixed we will be able to submit the part if needed. Yes, our safety and the safety of others was very much at risk. We were told the steering could have binded at any moment, leaving the wheel completely stuck in place. This would likely have resulted in a very serious crash. Yes, the vehicle had a diagnostic ran at a Honda dealership. There were no warning lights at all.

Body control Module failed, resulting the abrupt starting of car draining the battery .... engine starts but doesn't stop. Keyfobs doesn't work. Honda Dealer Diagnosed the issue with the Body control module failure, reached out to Honda for good will assistance ... after 10 days they were able to cover 50% of the repair cost. Remaining repair balance was paid out of pocket.
Flashing through brightness settings by itself, low through dark and runs in loop whenever sunlight hits it directly. It looks like the auto dimming is getting crazy when sunlight hits directly. Reported issue with Honda. They issued a service bulletin (19-066) to the dealers to update the radio software if cars are still on warranty. However no recall was issued and customers have to pay dealers to get it updated for a manufactures defect.
I purchase a 2019 CRV at 80.00 miles. it had problems in the first year. I was driving the car stop while was driving in a residential area with no warning sign. I have pics, the next things my rear view mirror fell down I just stop driving to tape it up, next my wire harness broke blacken my dash broad. After that my hatch back stay up it couldn't get it down I drove with it up until I got to the dealership. The service department said the little motor died. so he took the spring I can afford to pay 1200 hundred dollars. No hatch back for me unless i used it Manually. Night mare lemon car, Brake light keep coming on I change the brakes already. The water pump broke several senor needed fixed as well. Plus I was charge 30, 00 thousand for this car from the in Columbus, TX Cavender . They knew the car was bad.
My 2019 Honda CR-V experienced a malfunction involving multiple dashboard warning lights illuminating at the same time, including warning messages related to vehicle systems and safety features. There is concern about the vehicle entering limp mode and being unable to accelerate normally. This creates a safety concern because the vehicle may not respond properly in traffic or during highway driving. The issue has been diagnosed by an independent mechanic, and diagnostic codes indicated a cylinder misfire/fuel system related problem. I have learned that many other Honda CR-V owners are experiencing the same issue involving multiple dashboard warning lights, fuel injector problems, fuel pump concerns, misfires, and repeated unsuccessful repairs. The vehicle has required diagnostic testing and repair recommendations that may cost thousands of dollars, yet many owners report the issue returning even after repairs. In my case, all warning lights illuminated simultaneously and the issue appears related to a larger recurring defect pattern affecting Honda CR-V vehicles. This problem poses a safety risk because the vehicle may lose power, hesitate, fail to accelerate properly, or become unreliable while driving. I am requesting investigation into this recurring issue affecting Honda CR-V vehicles.

Engine RPM surged while nose- in parking with foot on brake, causing vehicle to unexpectedly jump the parking barrier and hit a steel sign post, incurring $3,300 cosmetic damage to left front of vehicle. Pressed harder on brake to stop. Cost estimate obtained, complaint filed with American Honda.
Car stops suddenly on highway, going into, "limp mode." All dash warning lights came on. Rich emissions. VTM-4 issue. This is an ongoing issue with CR-Vs, yet manufacturer has issues no solution, clearly opting to work each situation independently. Therefore, manufacturer saves the time and money associated with these repairs.
Multiple lights and warnings on dashboard of 2019 Honda CRV. Car would not reverse. Warnings were all at once and included, Emissions system problem, braking problem, power steering problem, collision mitigation system problem, electric parking brake problem and many others. Honda mechanic stated this is a very known problem with 2019 CRV and it’s the fuel injectors and head gasket.
7-16-26, I was driving on the highway. All the warning lights on the dash lit up. The car dropped down to 20 miles per hour. I tried to speed up, but could not. It is experiencing an extended crank, sever stuttering and engine stalling. It has actively thrown code P0087 for low fuel rail pressure. An independent service center confirmed the code P0087. The dealership performed diagnostic test and confirmed code P0087. The component was part of recall: 21V-215. There were no other warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. My car is currently at the dealership because Honda has denied the claim. I have a 3 day free loaner from the dealership. I have escalated to Honda Corp. I will need a car for longer than 3 days while I wait for the escalations department to make a final decision.
Multiple times when stopped at a stop light, the vehicle will stall and die. Car requires restarting ignition to run. A mechanic believes it is the fuel injector system (either defective or worn) that is causing these stall issues. This is a safety problem as I was almost hit several times by other cars on the road.

I HIT A LARGE DEER ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 TO 65 MPH. THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I HAVE PICTURES. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE 2 PEOPLE IN THE CAR, NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR
ON 2/7/2020 I WAS OPERATING MY CRV, MADE A LEFT TURN INTO DRIVEWAY OF TAVERN/RESTAURANT, 1080 E. PHILADELPHIA AVE., GILBERTSVILLE, PA. 19525 AND PULLED INTO THE FIRST PARKING SPACE ABOUT 10 FEET FROM STREET. I SLOWED DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP APPROX. 2 FEET FROM CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND ENGINE ACCELERATED VERY HIGH CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP THE PARKING BLOCK AND STRIKING THE RESTAURANT WALL. APPROX. 8 FEET FROM PARKING BLOCK. MY WIFE ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING AND I POINTED TO MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE. NO ONE WAS HURT AND VERY MINIMAL DAMAGE TO WALL. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TO DOUGLAS TWP. PD. I SPOKE TO PIAZZA HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AND MANAGER SAID THAT I MOST LIKELY HAD MY FOOT HALF ON BRAKE AND HALF ON GAS PEDAL. I ALSO GAVE SAME STORY TO ALLSTATE INSURANCE. I REQUESTED THAT HEY CHECK THE BLACK BOX IN VEHICLE AND BOTH SAID THEY COULD NOT. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AFTER $9.000.00 ESTIMATE WAS WRITTEN. I WAS SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND I TRADED IT IN TO PIAZZA HONDA WITHOUT LEAVING THEIR BUSINESS AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 60 YEARS AND NEVER HAD MY FOOT HALF ON BRAKE A ND HALF ON GAS PEDAL. THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL ARE SEPARATED BY AT LEAST 3 INCHES. IF IT WAS ON BOTH PEDALS, I AM SURE THE BRAKES WOULD HAVE SCREECHED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP AT PIAZZA HONDA 4 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT FOR PA. VEHICLE INSPECTION AND DURING THE EXAM THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LEFT FRONT STRUT WAS LEAKING AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW ONE. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD WITH 11,000 MILES ON IT..
I JUST HAD A HIGH CAR ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE OTHER CAR DID. MY CAR IS A TOTAL.
Vehicle is a 2019 Honda CR-V (1.5L Turbo) experiencing an active internal mechanical failure—suspected collapsing/sticking piston rings bypassing the combustion chamber, resulting in severe, unmeasured oil consumption. The dealership (Wesley Chapel Honda) filled the engine with new oil and refuses to perform an internal diagnostic teardown or provide a safe alternative vehicle. Instead, they are advising me to operate this vehicle for an additional 2,000 miles to complete a corporate "consumption test" to prove the defect for warranty authorization. Operating a vehicle with a known, rapid, and erratic oil depletion defect for thousands of miles presents a severe, immediate safety hazard to my family and others on the road. If the engine oil drops below critical operating levels unexpectedly between manual checks, the engine faces an immediate risk of catastrophic metal-on-metal friction, thermal expansion, and sudden engine seizure at highway speeds. This creates an extreme driving liability, including an instantaneous loss of all motive power, a sudden loss of vital power steering and power braking assist (making the vehicle incredibly heavy and difficult to control or maneuver safely to a shoulder), and a high risk of an engine bay fire due to intense friction and fluid ignition. This is a known issue that I presented to them in March. At that time the PCV valve was replaced along with new spark plugs. The problem continues to persist. This matter is actively documented with Honda Corporate under Case #16466779. A manufacturer protocol should not supersede passenger safety by forcing the prolonged operation of a defective vehicle. The dealership has advised that this is a known issue with the 2019 Honda CRV with piston rings failing. This needs to be made public and a recall for Honda to fix.
The car gave a "Emissions System Problem" warning while on a roadtrip on June 4, 2026. The code was P219F. Subsequently (a week or so later), every warning on the car came up for every system (too many to list here). My mechanic has gone through the Honda protocol for this code (checking spark plugs, compression tests, etc) and is now at the point of replacing all of the fuel injectors. The car is very well-maintained and has low mileage (less than 50,000 miles). The car is currently in the shop as I can't drive it safely without knowing what systems are malfunctioning. The car is available for inspection and is currently at an independent service center.

My mechanic has gone through the Honda protocol for this code (checking spark plugs, compression tests, etc) and is now at the point of replacing all of the fuel injectors. The car is very well-maintained and has low mileage (less than 50,000 miles). The car is currently in the shop as I can't drive it safely without knowing what systems are malfunctioning. The car is available for inspection and is currently at an independent service center.
The sun visor on the driver's side of my CRV is broken & will not completely stay up. The visor stays about 2" down from the top, making it not only a nuisance, but a huge safety concern in the event of an accident as it would impact the driver's head. The when brought down, it will not stay in place, either. This is a KNOWN issue with Honda CR-V & the dealer is unwilling to address it without significant cost.
I purchase a 2019 CRV at 80.00 miles. it had problems in the first year. I was driving the car stop while was driving in a residential area with no warning sign. I have pics, the next things my rear view mirror fell down I just stop driving to tape it up, next my wire harness broke blacken my dash broad. After that my hatch back stay up it couldn't get it down I drove with it up until I got to the dealership. The service department said the little motor died. so he took the spring I can afford to pay 1200 hundred dollars. No hatch back for me unless i used it Manually. Night mare lemon car, Brake light keep coming on I change the brakes already. The water pump broke several senor needed fixed as well. Plus I was charge 30, 00 thousand for this car from the in Columbus, TX Cavender . They knew the car was bad.
"My 2019 Honda CR-V experienced a 'False Positive' trigger of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) while driving over a metal road grate. The vehicle applied hard, emergency-level braking without any actual obstacle in the path of travel. I am aware of the active NHTSA investigation EA24003 regarding this issue. I have taken the vehicle to a dealer, but they were unable to replicate the issue during a standard test drive on asphalt and cited a brake fluid code as the only finding, which does not explain the sensor misidentification." I am bringing the car back to the dealership since I have video proof of what is happening but they were reluctant to do anything about it and said there may be a 180 dollar charge to re align the sensors which I shouldnt be charged for something that is a safety issue. This incident has happened several times over the year. About 4 times total

The contact stated that she thought that she rolled into the intersection at approximately 10 MPH and crashed into a vehicle that was crossing the intersection. The contact's front end crashed into the other vehicle's wheel well and the passenger door. The contact's front end was crushed and her air bag was deployed. The contact stated that the police arrived and the Emergency Services unit responded. The contact stated she was treated for lacerations on both arms starting at her wrists and stopping at her elbows and she had bruising on her abdomen. The contact was not transported to the hospital. The contact stated that both vehicles were undriveable and towed away from the accident. The contact stated that prior to the accident she had taken the vehicle to a dealer due to a "brake system problem" message on her instrument cluster. The contact stated that the dealer had examined the vehicle and that when she drove the vehicle off of the lot the "brake system problem" message was no longer showing on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the brake warning reoccurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the same dealer and was advised by the dealer that there was no failure of the brake system. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that she had the crash and was not able to return the vehicle to the dealer due to the crash. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.
I was driving on the highway at a speed of about 60 mph. I tried to push the break pedal because a car stopped in front of me. The distance between the other car and my car was initially about 200 ft. After I pushed the breaks, the breaks did not respond at all and the car kept going at the same speed. That caused an accident. These details are documented in a police report. I am reporting in case the same issue reported in this article caused my accident: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Vehicles harness leading to auto dimming rear view mirror was defective and a wire split rendering all my braking capability. The ABS system felt like it was reversing the brakes EVERYTIME I stepped on the pedal. I hit my garage door because of this: Honda wanted me to pay to fix the wire because "I had a handicap plate that probably broke the wire" yet I never put my handicap placard on my mirror but rather on my dashboard. My brakes are electronically controlled due to it having an electric brake booster and AEB, radar cruise control and more. I could have been killed. HONDA DIDNT CARE, made me take the car with no brakes.
I PURCHASED A HONDA CRV FROM HAGERSTOWN HONDA ON 3/16/2019. I LOVE MY CRV. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. THE HONDA COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM IS CAUSING MY CAR TO JUST STOP WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR OR MORE, DOWN TO ZERO WITHOUT WARNING. THE CMBS THINKS THERE IS SOMETHING I'M GOING TO HIT, HOWEVER THERE ARE NO CARS OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW. I HAVE HAD MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF HAGERSTOWN HONDA CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE MEET WITH BOB BARNES (SERVICE MANAGER) AND TALKED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE TELEPHONE ABOUT THE ISSUE, THE TECHNICIAN (NICK SHIFLER) READJUSTED THE RADAR, AND A HONDA SENSING INTERVIEW SHEET THAT WAS SENT INTO HONDA USA. IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST LAST WEEK, WHERE I CAUSED A THREE-CAR ACCIDENT ON EAST BOUND ROUTE 66. I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT AS FAR AS I KNOW RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER THE OTHER DRIVERS HAD SIGNIFICANT CAR DAMAGE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. THE VA STATE TROOPER AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE, AND I AGREE. I CONTACTED BOB BARNES SERVICE MANAGER FROM HAGERSTOWN HONDA AGAIN LAST WEEK, AND HE SAID HE CAN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND TO CONTACT HONDA USA. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CMBS SYSTEM IS GOING TO ENGAGE, WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY DRIVING.

When driving my 2019 Honda CRV it is very difficult to drive at speeds 55 or higher. The steering frequently becomes stiff, jerky and notching feeling requiring both hands be on the steering wheel at all times. It is exhausing and feels unsafe. It will not stay straight. You have to constantly attempt to pull it back in your lane. I have turned off lane assist and it still does it. Other Honda CRVs are included in a recall for this issue but mine is not. It causes severe driver anxiety and fatigue. Passengers even question my driving but when we trade places they see how frustrating it is. Something is definitely not right. The mechanical failure I am experiencing is the same as the 2023-2025 recall. I called the Honda dealership where I bought my vehicle and other Honda dealerships and they confirmed my vehicle is not currently included in the recall.
I purchase a 2019 CRV at 80.00 miles. it had problems in the first year. I was driving the car stop while was driving in a residential area with no warning sign. I have pics, the next things my rear view mirror fell down I just stop driving to tape it up, next my wire harness broke blacken my dash broad. After that my hatch back stay up it couldn't get it down I drove with it up until I got to the dealership.

Multiple warning lights on including Engine System, CMBS, Electric Parking, Electric Power Steering, RDM and Adaptive Cruise control warnings caused by Fuel System Too Rich. Either Fuel injector not properly installed or issue with fuel pump. As per Service Bulletin 19-032, this is issue with fuel injector but VIN lookup not showing my VIN for recall and warranty repair. please do needful.
The vehicle began experiencing repeated engine misfires, hesitation, and loss of power during normal driving. The issue was diagnosed as failing fuel injectors, which is a known issue on this generation of Honda CR-V. The failure causes sudden hesitation and reduced engine power, particularly during acceleration and at intersections, creating a safety hazard in traffic. In some instances there was a strong fuel odor, raising concern for a potential fuel leak and fire risk. The injectors failed well before normal service life and required replacement. Honda has not issued a recall for many affected vehicles despite widespread reports of similar failures across multiple model years. This defect presents a safety risk due to possible engine stalling, loss of power, and potential fuel leakage.
I am reporting a severe safety defect involving the engine and fuel injector system that began two months ago at ≈108k miles (now 109k miles). I have not yet taken the vehicle in for service due to the estimated high repair cost of $2,900. It is critical to note that the same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not fixed for my 2019 model year. This indicates a persistent manufacturing or design flaw that warrants an immediate investigation into my model year. The defect manifests regularly, causing a Cylinder 2 Misfire (P0302) and making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of power. This creates a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. More dangerously, when the misfire occurs, the vehicle instantly disables critical driver assistance systems—Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keep Assist (LKAS)—without any advanced warning. This malfunction is an unreasonable safety risk: CRASH HAZARD: The unprompted power loss and concurrent disabling of safety features create an immediate, dangerous situation. FIRE HAZARD: The persistent misfire strongly suggests a failed or stuck-open fuel injector, which causes fuel dilution of the engine oil. This contamination can lead to engine failure or, critically, a fuel leak onto hot engine components that poses an extreme fire risk. I urge NHTSA to investigate why this defect persists and to mandate a comprehensive recall to protect the public from this ongoing, life-threatening safety risk. The failed component may be available for inspection upon request.

VEHICLE WAS BACKED INTO GARAGE TO TOWEL DRY AFTER WASHING. VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK, TURNED ENGINE OFF AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE. AFTER COLLECTING DRYING TOWELS I PROCEEDED TO LOCK VEHICLE (CONFIRMED BY BEEP) AND STARTED TO ENTER MY HOME WHEN I NOTICED VEHICLE BEGINNING TO ROLL OUT OF MY GARAGE. I COULD NOT CATCH IT BEFORE IT ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVE AND ACROSS MY STREET INTO A TREE DAMAGING FRONT END OF VEHICLE. WHEN I REACHED VEHICLE AND UNLOCKED IT TO ENTER IT WAS STILL IN PARK. I THEN STARTED VEHICLE AND BACKED IT UP (DRAGGING FRONT BUMPER) INTO MY GARAGE.
My 2019 Honda CR-V, which has the 1.5 liter turbo engine, with 78,000 started up with the dashboard lit up like a xmas tree and reported approx. a dozen faults of all safety features EPB, LKAS, Emissions, etc. It was diagnosed by Lester Glenn Honda in Wall, NJ with oil dilution caused by the leaky fuel injectors. The mechanic noted TDC P0172 - System Too Rich & P0301- cylinder 1 misfire and all fuel injectors failed A/F test. This vehicle had its fuel pump replaced earlier this year pursuant to the Honda recall for this (wondering if related). The same underlying problem was subject to a safety recall for the 2017-2018 model years, but the defect was not included for my 2019 model year even though it's the same 1.5L Turbo motor and there are numerous complaints from customers on the same exact issue. I was quoted over $2300 since it was past the warranty period (8k miles past the extended 7/70k emissions warranty that would have covered this 100%). Not only is this premature failure of critical engine component making the engine run very rough with a sudden and severe loss of powers, it produces a safety hazard of a direct rear-end crash risk due to the inability to maintain a safe operating speed. This is a significant expense for a defect Honda is already aware of. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be fully covered by Honda, along with any related systems affected by this issue. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this widespread defect affecting 2017–2019 CR-V models and issue a recall. I have not had it repaired yet as I asked the dealer to contact Honda Corporate and ask for a goodwill/good faith warranty.

The driver sun visor will not stay in the fully closed position. This creates a visibility problem for the driver. Also, with the resting position of the failed visor, if i were in an accident or sudden stop, the edge of the visor would impact the drivers head causing injury. The failed part is not covered under any warranty by the manufacturer and repair costs several hundred dollars. There are several examples online of other buyers of the same vehicle model experiencing the safety issue.
The driver side visor will not remain in the full upright position. When driving the vehicle I have hit my head several times due to the visor falling to a 45 degree position instead of remaining in the flat against the headliner. This requires constant adjustment while driving by moving to the side window, or moving back to the front windshield to avoid constant nuisance while driving. We have hit our head on the visor MANY times looking for traffic at a stop sign or when merging. After taking the vehicle for services, this issue has been brought up to several service personnel at the dealer and stated the owner is responsible for this common defect. There are numerous issues listed on the complaint list that have been reported. Just yesterday, I spotted a CRV of simmilar year model in costco parking lot, and stopped to look in the vehicle to notice that they had a loose driver side visor hanging down about 3-4 inches as well. This shows that this is very common. The replacment part is in excess of $150 to replace, and there are numorous comments about replacing this part due to same reason only to encounter the same result after a few months of use. Since this has become such a nuisance for the driver and a safety issue of constantly adjusting to ensure a clear field of view driving, we have opted to just remove the visor knowing that the replacement will likely be a waste of time and money to only encounter the same issues again at a later date. It is disappointing to see that Honda is not taken serious concern for the customers encountering this issue that is such a common safety distraction and nuisance to the drivers of these year model CRV's. I read reports that have been entered from a 2018-2020 for more than a dozen vehicles just on here that have reported the issue. This visor is a vehicle safety feature that the customer should not have to remove in efforts to minimize safety risks that are more often a nuisance than assisting in safety and visibility.
I was driving down a road with no traffic when the sunroof shattered. I pulled over and there was a hole in the middle and it was completely cracked. No damage to any other component of the sunroof just the glass. There was nothing that impacted or fell on the sunroof. There was no prior damage to the sunroof or surrounding area. The sunroof was closed not in use at time of incident. Dealership could not find a reason for the damage but did say they had someone else go in for a sun roof randomly exploding as well.
I had my cargo door up loading some things into the back of the car when the back window broke and pieces fell everywhere- on me, in the car and on the ground. Nothing came into contact with the window when it happened.

Continuous illumination of all lights on the dash. We have to reset the battery to clear the codes and it will do it again but the timing differs. Now, I am getting the “Airbag SRS System Problem” that pops up and then goes away when the vehicle is restarted. This has been going on for over a year. We have replaced the alternator and continue to try and find the actual malfunction as a code reader just lists all things being illuminated. We are not the first, not the only, and definitely not the last crv owners with this issue. FIX THIS!!!! I’m highly disappointed in Honda.
Numerous times, I have been driving with absolutely no other vehicles or obstacles surrounding my vehicle, and it would suddenly activate the automatic braking system without warning, leading to a very rapid deceleration from a high rate of speed, almost causing me to crash.
seems like this is an on going issue honda safety systems failing around 30k miles. loss of all systems VSA, RMS, ACC, CMS. prior to all loss, the system would out of the blue activate when there was no cause. system will not reset and all dash warnings are on all started when the front right wheel might have had a slip issue going through a puddle of water. with the large amounts of failures, honda needs to step up and fix these issues as it is now a guaranteed profit maker for their dealers as estimated cost is 1800 dollars, pretty stiff for fixed ss income.
This has happened several times, when cruise control is activated like 1/50 times the car will go into limp mode randomly with the brakes activating at speed. This makes it very difficult to steer and has led to me almost getting hit. I have stopped using cruise control and the problem has not happened since

The airbag light stayed on beginning in December 2023. The SRS warning light came on in March 2024. This defect was subject to a recall of CRV’s manufactured from 2020 to 2022. We believe the 2019 vehicles were affected also and should have been part of the recall. Honda has recognized this problem and has reimbursed us $800 of the $1758.68 of the repair bill.
When passengers are sitting in the rear seats, the driver side shoulder belt crosses the buckle of the center passenger's belt. This makes the center belt difficult to release in an emergency. I brought the car to the dealer and the analysis was that four other cars of this model were identical. I guess it's designed in.
15 mm bolt head that holds driver side seatbelt in place fell off without warning or manipulation of bolt. This occurred when seatbelt was being removed while vehicle was at a stop.
I want to report an unsafe situation regarding the rear seat, seat-belt latches on the 2019 Honda CR-V (and from what I can tell on the internet, for several other model years). The rear seat center and left side seat-belt latch receivers have been installed incorrectly. The setup causes the left side latch to be installed over top of the anchor portion of the middle seat latch. This results in the need to twist one or both belts in order to latch the belts. This setup results in a potentially unsafe situation when seating three passengers in the rear seat. Honda advertises the CR-V as a 5 passenger vehicle, not a 4 passenger vehicle! Btw, I used the date I purchased the vehicle as the "incident" date.

Flashing through brightness settings by itself, low through dark and runs in loop whenever sunlight hits it directly. It looks like the auto dimming is getting crazy when sunlight hits directly. Reported issue with Honda. They issued a service bulletin (19-066) to the dealers to update the radio software if cars are still on warranty. However no recall was issued and customers have to pay dealers to get it updated for a manufactures defect.
Electrical System problem //I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding a recurring and serious issue with my 2019 Honda CR-V. Multiple dashboard warning lights turn on simultaneously without clear explanation. These lights are extremely distracting while driving and present a significant safety concern. What’s even more troubling is that we have no idea why these lights are coming on. This uncertainty puts us in a dangerous situation—driving without knowing whether the vehicle might stall, break down, or suffer another critical failure at any moment.Given that this appears to be a common issue among other CR-V owners, I strongly believe that Honda should take responsibility. At the very least, owners should be provided one free diagnostic service at an authorized dealership to determine the cause—especially if it’s related to a manufacturing or system defect.The stress and anxiety this has caused are considerable. In fact, the distraction caused by these lights nearly led to an accident. I hope NHTSA will take this matter seriously and offer support to affected customers before someone gets seriously hurt.
Having done some research I discovered that my problem seems to be happening to a number of CRV owners. My signal lights are flickering while the car is turned off. I discovered that Honda had done a recall to fix this problem on several other models but not the CRV. From what I can determine is that this is a problem with the Body Control Module. I feel that there seems to be a lot of CRV with the same problem and maybe your Organization might want to look into this. To see what has been posted you can go to UTube and type in the link (2017 CRV lights flickering when car is off)
I am writing a complaint for 2019 Honda CR-V. While I am aware of the fuel pump recall for this model, what is not recalled and needs to be are the multiple dashboard lights that turn on and remain lit that many owners of this model and several years earlier have not been able to find solutions for. The lights turn on regardless of having a new battery. 2017-2019 Honda CRV owners have not been able to get a clear answer from dealers, and only have been told by Honda to "go to a dealer" who is not able to give a solution. Some have reported that the issue is poor fuel inspectors that needs to be replaced. Finding answers to this is costly after already investing in a vehicle that we trusted would be safe. The multiple dashboard lights are distracting and a safety hazard, and the fact that we do not know the reason they are turning on puts us in a position of driving on the road without knowing if our vehicle will stall, break down, etc. My personal vehicle has been inspected. I am requesting, at minimum, that if a recall cannot be issued, then owners be provided at least one free diagnostic service at a Honda dealer to address an issue that was the responsibility of the vehicle maker.
I am filing a complaint regarding a premature failure of the LED turn signal on my 2019 Honda CR-V at only 81,000 miles. The turn signal is a critical safety component, and its failure presents a serious risk of accidents due to decreased visibility to other drivers. Unlike traditional bulbs that can be easily replaced, Honda’s LED turn signals require replacing the entire headlight assembly at a cost of $1,200.00, which is an unnecessary and expensive repair for a basic safety feature. The failure of an LED component at this mileage suggests a defective part that should be investigated. Given that turn signals are an essential part of vehicle safety, I believe Honda should issue a recall or provide an extended warranty for this defect. Safety Concerns: •The LED turn signal failed unexpectedly, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of an accident. •Unlike traditional bulbs, the LED failure requires an expensive full headlight replacement, making it inaccessible for many drivers to afford repairs. Requested Action: I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue and consider issuing a recall or safety bulletin to ensure Honda takes responsibility for fixing this problem. This is a serious safety concern, and I believe it is unfair for consumers to bear the high cost of replacing an entire headlight assembly for what should be a long-lasting LED component. I appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while stationary and attempting to start the vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle jerked back and forth. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated including the brake system lights. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with VSA modulator failure and brake booster failure. The vehicle was at the dealer awaiting the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,486.
I HAVE 2019 CRV AND I RECENTLY BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIPS FOR RADAR SENSOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO INTERMITTENT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER NOW IT PICKS UP SIGNALS OR OBJECTS THEN AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES EVEN WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR (IE. NO OBSTACLES IN FRONT OF THE CAR OR OBJECTS). A PERSON BEHIND ME HONKED THE HORN AND ABOUT TO HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. I JUST TALKED TO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 3 OR MORE TIMES NOW.
ON FEBRUARY 29, 2020, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A NEARBY PARK AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WITH SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. I CONTINUED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR, BUT IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I STEERED THE CAR AWAY FROM A SMALL LAKE BUT SMASHED INTO A PINE TREE. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEATBELT WORKED. I RECEIVED TRAUMA TO THE CHEST BY THE AIRBAG. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION AND THEN RELEASED THE NEXT DAY. THE STATE TROOPER CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING WHEN HE RESTARTED IT. THIS HONDA CRV RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY, 2019 CONCERNING A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS AND STEERING COLUMN. THE PARTS DID NOT COME UNTIL SEPTEMBER, 2019 AND I THEN BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE REPAIR. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WITH ONLY 6,800 MILES ON THE CAR. I WENT TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND HIS ATTITUDE WAS POLITE BUT TOTALLY INDIFFERENT. HE INDICATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY SELLS CARS, BUT HE DID NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO DID THE REPAIR ON THIS RECALL. I LEFT THERE WITH NO SATISFACTION AT ALL. THE HONDA CRV 2019 IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THIS WAS MY FIRST HONDA AND MY LAST.
THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHERE WE HAVE LIVED FOR OVER 25 YEARS. THE WIRING USED FOR THE MAIN HARNESS IS MADE WITH A SOY BASE PRODUCT. NOT ONLY MICE OR RATS, SQUIRRELS AND OTHER ANIMALS CAN SMELL THIS OUT AND DESTROY THE WIRING. I WAS TOLD THAT ONE MAN HAS HAD HIS MAIN HARNESS REPLACED 3 TIMES. IF A SOY BASED PRODUCT IS BEING USED, THEN THE REPAIRS THAT WILL BE NEEDED OVER AND OVER FROM RODENTS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY FOR WIRING FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE CAR!! THIS HARNESS GOES TO CONTROL ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS IN THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM. I AM AN ELDERLY DISABLED SENIOR ON A FIXED INCOME. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY THIS CAR AND THEN TURN AROUND BEFORE IT IS EVEN A YEAR OLD TO HAVE TO FORK OUT $1400.00 FOR A NEW WIRING HARNESS, YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN, BUT DID NOT CARE!!! THEREFORE YOUR PRODUCT IS HIGHLY DEFECTIVE!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA CAR AND I WILL DEFINITELY PROMOTE THE PROBLEM OF THE WIRING INFO TO INFORM OTHERS NOT TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES!!! THE POOR SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN CUSTOMERS CONCERNING THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG!!!!! BY DOING THIS THEY ARE CREATING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROBLEM. MICE, RATS AND RODENTS CARRY ALL KINDS OF DISEASES AND BY ENTICING THEM WITH SOY BASED WIRING, YOU ARE CAUSING ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT COULD BE MUCH WORSE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS, IF THEY WERE TO BE BITTEN BY THESE RODENTS!!!! WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE WORSE, THE ENVIRONMENT OR DEAD CUSTOMERS AND THE LAWSUITS FROM THAT!!!!
WE WERE DRIVING A CRV WHICH IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS FAILED. THE BREAKS SYSTEM, COLLIOSION AVOIDENCE, LANE ASSIST, ACC. ALL FAILED. FORTUNATELY WE WERE AT 20 MPH SO WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE CRV. WE TOWED THE CRV TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AFTER 4 DAYS WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THAT ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS HAD FAILED AS THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORTCURCUIT WHICH HAS BLOWN THE FUSES AND THE CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL SHORT WAS TRACED TO EXOPSED WIRES IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSMEBLY WHICH WERE DAMAGED BY AN ORNAMNET WE HAD HUNG. THE REASON I AM COMPLAINING IS I WANT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. 1.LOT OF PEOPLE HANG ORNAMNETS/ CAR FRESHNER ETC AND THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS SYSTEM FAILURE WITH ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS FAILING WHEN THE CRV IS IN MOTION. 2.THIS CRV IS LESS THAN 6 M OLD SO IT ALSO INDICATES TO THE POOR DESIGNAND MANUFACTURE . 3. CRV IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SUVS SOLD IN USA SO LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AT RISK. 4. THE DESIGN ENGINEER KNEW THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE WIRES SO HAVE A PROTECTIVE RUBBER INSULATION BUT THE INSULATION LEAVES A GAP WHERE THE WIRES ARE EXPOSED, AND CAN BE DAMAGED. I HAVE DRAMATIC VIDEO SHOWING THIS INCIDENT WHEN WE WERE DRVING AND THE EXPOSED WIRES, THE SHORT CRICUIT DAMAGE AND THE ORNAMENT THAT THEY ARE BLAMING FOR THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE THE VIDEO THAT I COULD NOT LOAD IN THIS COMPLAIN AS THE SYTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO BE LOADED ,BUT I WOULD BE PLEASED TO SHARE IF NEEDED.

My safety has been put at risk using these Bridgestone Ecopia (235/60R/18) tires. They were purchased in 2024 and after a little more than a year and 14,000K miles the front tires are wearing unevenly with little tread left and in need of replacement. There are two (2) known recalls and eight (8) consumer complaints about these tires (see attached). I am seeking reimbursement towards replacement tires I have complained to Honda (where tires were purchased) and the Better Business as well.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V equipped with Firestone Tires, Tire Line: Destination LE3, Tire Size: 235/60/R18, DOT Number: [XXX]. The contact stated that after the vehicle was taken to the tire dealer for tire rotation, the wheel sensor warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle vibrated and made an abnormal sound while driving. The contact pulled over to inspect the tires and discovered that the front driver's side tire had been plugged with an unknown object. The vehicle was taken back to the tire dealer, where air was added to the tires. The front driver's side tire was not replaced. The tire manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The tire failure mileage was 30,000. The vehicle failure mileage was 54,000. The VIN was unavailable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The indirect TPMS system on my 2019 Honda CRV is a safety hazard. The TPMS alert light stays on all the time, even when all tires are properly inflated, when all tires are the manufacturers recommended size, and all tires have adequate tread to meet all safety regulations. The dealer acknowledges the system is poorly designed and was probably implemented because it is cheaper to manufacture than a direct TPMS system. The dealers have no remedy, therefore, Honda should be forced to recall the vehicles and make necessary changes to create an effective TPMS system.
driving on the freeway home from work, in the middle lane, heard a loud bang then thudding and pulled over and my tire was almost flat with big hole in the sidewall blew out. after replacing with spare tire, saw 2 other smaller holes / slits where the sidewall blew out. called bridgestone manufactuer and they said this make model had a recall but not size did not have a recall or defect reported and there were not any replacement offerings.
A Honda 2019 CR-V EX 2WD was purchased in March of 2019 and came with OE Hankook Kinergy GT 235/60R18 H436 tires. The DOT# 5M3V1BH5018 (One tire) and 5M3V1BH5118 (Three tires). The vehicle was garage kept and most of the mileage driven was within the state of Tennessee. All four tires were rotated every 5,000 miles and balanced every 10,000 miles by the Honda dealership that sold the vehicle. A multi-point inspection was performed every 5,000 miles that included steering, braking, struts, and suspension components with no issues found. Tire pressure was monitored by both the owner and dealer during routine maintenance. Road noise began after the 12,000-mileage maintenance and could be seen as uneven tire treadwear. At 15,000 miles the dealership performed a four-wheel alignment to correct the problem, but the noise continued and became more pronounced at higher speeds. It became difficult to hold a conversation or listen to the radio without turning up the volume. By 23,000 miles it became apparent that the inside and outside tread on all four tires had become scalloped. The dealership confirmed the diagnosis and recommended new tires. They stated that continuing to drive with the cupped tire tread was not a safety issue. In contrary, most retail tire or automobile repair websites universally agree that driving with scalloped tires is dangerous. The decreased amount of tire tread to road contact causes reduced traction and increased braking distances, on wet driving surfaces and in emergency situations. The dealership service advisor also shared information that Hankook uses substandard material in the manufacturing of their OE tires leading to premature wear and possible failure. How does this tire justify a treadwear rating of 540 and mileage warranty of 70,000 miles when an entire set of four tires became useless and unsafe at 15,000 miles?

My friend reached under the driver seat and felt a bolt under it. Turns out, it was one of the 4 bolts that holds the seats frame to the car. This was the right front bolt and it completely fell out! I checked the other 3 bolts still in, but the left front was also significantly loose! I had to get an Allen wrench and bolt them back in and tighten them! The passenger seat bolts were still in but also very loose! This is dangerous if I was in an accident my front seat bolts weren't tight and one was completely out, only holding the seat in 3 of 4 places!

Real owner reports filed with NHTSA (showing 4 of 4):
The TPMS, a federally mandated safety system, has a persistent and intermittent communication fault, causing the warning lamp to remain illuminated. This renders the critical safety system inoperable, preventing notification of dangerously low tire pressure and placing vehicle occupants at risk. The fault first appeared since April 2025 after the vehicle required a jump start. Independent Diagnosis: An ASE-certified independent service center confirmed the persistent TPMS communication code. Exhaustive diagnostics verified that the battery, charging, starting systems, and parasitic draw are all normal. The technician concluded the failure is systemic (likely software/module related) and requires Honda factory/dealer proprietary equipment to resolve. Honda’s Refusal & Barrier to Repair: The vehicle has not been inspected by a Honda dealership because Honda Corporate (Case #16008453) Case Manager Kevin created an unreasonable barrier to repair: Kevin closed the goodwill case and refused to cover the diagnostic fee necessary to identify the fault in this safety system. During the final call, Kevin denied escalation, contradicted corporate's prior confirmation of a supervisor request, and refused written documentation of the denial. Honda's refusal to cover the diagnostic fee for a documented failure in a mandated safety system prevents the required manufacturer-level testing and resolution. I am filing this complaint due to the safety risk and Honda's procedural failures.
My tire pressure light has gone on 10 plus times in the last year and I think only 3 times my tire was actually low on air. This is a safety feature because you need your tires to drive. The dealer has advised they can’t find an issue with the sensor etc and keeps telling me it’s the tread etc and wants to show me how to recalibrate the system. I worry every time I get into the car that the light is going to go on and hear a binging sound. It’s very nerve wracking because I only have just shy of 34k miles on the car and it continues to happen. If I ignored it and turned out there was a flat then I cause more damage to the vehicle. I would never consider taking it on a long ride just because of this issue. I don’t want to know how to recalibrate I want it fixed.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the tire pressure warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer to have the tires checked and was advised that both rear tires had abnormal wear on the inside treads. The contact had the tires replaced; however, the tire pressure warning light illuminated after approximately six months. The contact took the vehicle to a tire shop, and it was determined that both rear tires showed abnormal wear on the inside tread. The contact purchased two more tires. The contact stated that the tire shop stated that the rear suspension was the cause of the tire wear failures. The contact was informed that both rear tires were leaning at an angle while mounted on the hubs, and the dealer was unable to properly balance the tires. The contact had the tires replaced again, and the TPMS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a different tire shop, and the failure with the suspension was confirmed. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that there were no similar reports of premature wear of the rear tires. The contact stated that he was on the fourth set of rear tires on the vehicle. The contact stated that he had replaced the rear tires with other tire brands. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
I have owned my Honda since it had 11 miles on it, brand new in the parking lot I took it home. I’ve noticed in the past few months since September of 2022 ish the lane assist, and lane departure do not work now. Out of 100 times I drive the lane keep only works maybe 5/100 times. I called the dealership explaining how it’s a safety concern if it ever defected. And it’s not keeping me in the lane or even trying to read the lines on the road. The dealer wanted $199 just to look at it. I ended up watching a YouTube video, disconnecting and cleaning my battery, resetting all systems and computer. It fixed it for a day, then stopped working again. I haven’t taken it to the dealer because I can’t afford $199 hair for them to look at it. Also, my car is four years old and I’ve had fluid leaking out of the bottom of my car since I bought it. My mechanic and I both thought it was an oil leak. Then assumed it was factory oil from the new engine or the ac unit. Well at my last state inspection Honda wanted $1200 because my right front strut was leaking fluid. Which explains the wobbliness and uneven drive in the vehicle. I just had my tires replaced and the vehicle drives very unstable. I spent $250 on the part online and replaced it myself and it has been corrected but now I need a $130 alignment from Honda. Not been in an accident but I grew up in a mechanic family. I do all of my own maintenance with a family member on a lift.
I started hearing a roaring noise coming from the tires of my 2019 Honda CRV, so I made an appointment and returned the car to the auto dealership, who pretended like they didn't hear anything or see anything. I went for a second opinion at another Honda dealer, who then stated my tires are cupping. This is the second set of tires to replace in less than 3 years! The first set that cam with the car where Hancock Kinergy Tires, only lasted 29K miles! Now am on the second set Perilli Scorpion Tires and her we go again at 30K miles and my tires need replacing. I am now being told the issue is with the Suspenion on the car. It must be fixed or else I will continue to replace tires every 30K miles. I live in the real world and I don't have money to fix a manufacture defect nor do I have money to keep buying tires every other year. Shame on Honda for not addressing the issue, especially when it has been brought to your attention! I should have bought a Hyundai!!

How it compares
Higher than most complaint volume — 1,074 complaints ranks #22 of 23 popular models from the same year (fewest first · median 352).
3% of its complaints involved a crash or fire, vs 5% typical for its year — this one is fair to compare directly, because it doesn't depend on how many were sold.
Same car, other years — complaint totals for the Honda CR-V by model year (fleet size mostly cancels out here, so this is the cleanest signal for "which year should I buy?"):
Why raw complaint counts can mislead (and how we correct for it)
A best-selling car naturally collects more complaints than a rare one simply because there are more of them on the road — so a raw count alone can make a popular, reliable car look worse than a troubled niche one. That's why we show the rank alongside the crash/fire percentage (which doesn't depend on sales volume) and the same model's other years. Read all three together.

Crash-Test Safety Ratings
Official U.S. government 5-star crash-test results.
How to read these stars
These come from the government physically crash-testing this vehicle — front, side, and rollover — and scoring it 1 to 5 stars. Ratings are per body style, so a sedan and its coupe twin can differ. If a vehicle shows no rating, it usually means the government never tested that exact configuration — untested is not the same as unsafe, and we'll never blur that line.
