2025 Honda Cr-v

When driving around a corner at 2.5k RPMs, it felt like a cylinder in the engine went out, and the entire car put itself into limp mode, and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas Tree, with every indicator light being illuminated. I pulled the car over, shut it off, and checked the engine for any signs of damage, and there were none. After turning the car back on again, it the car ran like normal; however, every light was still on the dashboard. I took it into a shop later that day, and had it hooked up to a code reader. The only code that was still being transmitted was the P0011 code. I had previously gotten the oil changed by that exact same shop for the car the day prior, so I had no indications that this was an oil related issue. We then cleared the code, disconnected the battery for 15 minutes, started the car again, and all of the warnings and errors for the car had been cleared. After doing some research on Reddit, the shop found that there had been previous incidents where this same behavior took place for many of this make, model, and year of car, all happening randomly with no warning.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to turn. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.

A clicking sound is heard every time I turn the vehicle, and the steering wheel feels like it’s a bit stuck. I know there was a gearbox recall but my vehicle was not included on this recall. I read al the symptoms for the electric gearbox defect and it matches what I am experiencing with my car.

Had the NHTSA 24V-744 steering gearbox recall performed on my 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L. Immediately following the repair, the vehicle developed severe, unstable alignment tracking and 'memory steer' where the steering wheel fails to self-center after turning left. There is a dangerous, loose mechanical 'dead zone' in the center steering position and loud knocking noises coming from the steering column. Additionally, the technician mechanically damaged the steering column's internal clock spring ribbon cable during the repair, compromising the driver's SRS airbag deployment system. The vehicle's severe misalignment is causing glitchy Lane Departure Warning alerts because the camera tracking doesn't match the crooked physical steering angles, and it is actively destroying the front tires. The servicing dealership performed a brief 5-mile test drive and refused to fix the safety issues, writing 'no abnormalities found' on the invoice to clear their liability, and actively refused to provide my requested digital alignment machine printout. Honda Corporate customer service has refused to intervene, leaving the vehicle completely unstable and unsafe to drive.

Electronic Power Steering Rack / Steering Gearbox Assembly. Stiff or sticky steering makes it difficult to precisely control the vehicle's direction during high-speed driving or lane changes, increasing the risk of loss of control and collisions. Yes, the issue has been diagnosed and confirmed by the Honda dealership, and a quote for replacing the steering rack has been issued. The Honda dealership has already inspected it. A noticeable sticky sensation or binding occurs when steering; this first appeared at a mileage of approximately 39,000 miles.

A few days ago I heard a loud clunking noise emanating from the rear wheel wells when I was making left or right turns regardless of speed. I took it in to my local Honda dealer who reported that the nut holding the sway bar became loose somehow, causing the noise. They had indicated it's possible it had not been torqued to factory specifications. The dealer also reported that multiple customers had already come in for similar issues.

Winshield cracked while parked due to heat stress. Visibility impaired by crack. Problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were not any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Shattered glass sunroof.Sunroof glass exploded while driving.

Driving on road with a number of left curves on September 24, 2026. While making the turns, with no driver input, the steering wheel jerked 2-3 times a few inches to the right . Noticed the steering wheel jerking to the right before, but not as severe. I currently own a 2020 Honda CRV and have had other CRVs and never had a steering problem such as this. There is obviously a defect in the manufacture of the steering system on this 2025 Honda CRV. We are currently afraid to take this CRV long distances as it is unreliable and most likely dangerous. We’ve made an appointment at a Honda dealership to have the problem identified (and hopefully addressed). If not, thinking about getting rid of it.

My 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid (VIN: [XXX]) has an open Product Update campaign for the PGM-FI Software Update (coolant pump/overheating risk). An authorized Honda dealership (Herb Chambers) refused to perform this software update, instructing me to return to the selling dealer. The vehicle has experienced repeated engine overheating warnings and significant coolant loss. This refusal to perform a safety campaign leaves the vehicle at risk of engine damage and potential safety hazard.

I am filing this complaint regarding the sunroof glass on my 2025 Honda CR-V, VIN [XXX]. On XXX, while I was driving on the interstate at highway speed, I heard a loud pop/combustion-like sound. I immediately pulled over and discovered that the sunroof glass had shattered and fallen inward into the vehicle. I did not see any object, rock, or debris strike the sunroof before it shattered. There was no known impact that I could identify. The glass appeared to fail suddenly while the vehicle was being driven. I am concerned because a sunroof unexpectedly shattering while traveling at highway speed could create a safety hazard for the driver and passengers and could cause the driver to become startled or lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle had approximately 27,875 miles at the time of the incident. The vehicle’s in-service date was XXX. I contacted Honda regarding the damage, but the warranty claim for the window/sunroof glass was denied. I am requesting that NHTSA document this incident and review whether there is a potential safety defect involving sunroof glass on 2025 Honda CR-V vehicles. I have photographs of the shattered sunroof and can provide additional documentation regarding the vehicle, Honda’s warranty determination, and the incident if requested. I am aware of other reports involving 2025 Honda CR-V sunroofs shattering unexpectedly, which is another reason I believe this incident should be documented and reviewed.

While driving on a highway, the vehicle suddenly lost power and could no longer maintain highway speed. It entered a reduced power mode, flashed multiple errors, and was pulled over to the shoulder and stopped. My pregnant wife, who was in the car by herself, was then stuck in a hot car on a dangerous elevated spot on a highway with high-speed traffic close by and on a limited shoulder. It had to be towed to a dealership. The dealership diagnosed a misfire in cylinder 2. The technician removed the spark plugs and found them fouled with oil, primarily one plug. Using a borescope, the technician inspected all cylinders and found a crack across the piston in cylinder 2. A head gasket failure was initially suspected but was ruled out. The oil was drained and inspected, and no metal debris was found in the drain pan. The failure was confirmed by the dealership, and a warranty claim was submitted to and approved by the manufacturer. The approved repair covers replacement of the piston, rings, rod bearing, and head gasket for cylinder 2 only, rather than the short block originally recommended by the technician. The dealership stated that root cause cannot be determined without engineering analysis of the damaged parts, which are to be sent to the manufacturer for review after the repair is complete. The damaged components are available for inspection. The vehicle had approximately 16,000 miles at the time of failure and was purchased new approximately 15 months prior. Complete loss of engine power and the inability to maintain speed in highway traffic created a substantial risk of being struck from behind.

Driving on main road (not highway), no rain or other adverse conditions. Automatic Braking System unexpectedly engaged (hard brake). There was no reason for this to happen and could have caused a serious accident if we had been on the highway. Why is there not a recall? I have seen several complaints online at [XXX] for this same year & model. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The factory hood anti-flutter adhesive (NVH mastic) separating the inner hood support frame from the outer sheet metal skin has failed and unbonded. As a result, the outer hood skin flexes, vibrates, and flutters severely at highway speeds, creating a distraction and posing a potential risk of structural latch or hood fatigue failure over time.

I am reporting a severe factory design defect regarding water intrusion into the EVAP emissions system on my 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid (VIN: [XXX]) After driving home in a normal rainstorm, the vehicle threw diagnostic trouble code P24C0 (EVAP system leak detection pump switching valve stuck ON). The authorized Honda dealership diagnosed the issue as "water intrusion" and charged me an out-of-pocket fee. The dealer's official service invoice explicitly states that the water intrusion occurred from "driving through a puddle." Driving through a standard road puddle or driving in a rainstorm constitutes standard, expected, and necessary vehicle operation. The EVAP canister is a federally mandated emissions component that must legally remain sealed against atmospheric leaks. Because normal road moisture can bypass factory shielding and flood or damage this critical component, it represents a clear engineering and manufacturing defect in sealing and part placement, rather than owner negligence. Honda is systematically denying factory warranty coverage to owners for this specific issue by labeling normal road rain as "outside environmental damage." This leaves drivers facing thousands of dollars in unfair repair bills for a design vulnerability. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this systemic issue to force a formal safety recall or Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) ensuring retroactive reimbursement and a corrected undercarriage shield design.

the CMBS, auto braking system is engaging and BRAKING my car for no reason. For example, driving 70mph on turnpike, it engaged on a dry road, clear day with no other cars or items in front of me. VERY dangerous. vehicles behind me could have crashed into me. happened at least 2 more times on 35/40mph with NOTHING on road. the only thing i can do is disengage it EVERY single time i start the engine. Took to my Moon Township dealer who said it can happen and sent me home. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in cold weather, the windshield wiper was activated, but the windshield wiper fluid failed to disperse and the windshield wiper failed to engage immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a second dealer, Hamilton Honda (655 US-130, Hamilton Township, NJ 08691); however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact sent a letter to the manufacturer to notify them of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
