I have had a problem with the worm wheel steering box since I first purchased this vehicle. Being new to HONDA, I thought driving the vehicle was supposed to be rough and shaky. However, after some time, I knew it was not normal. I first reached out to HONDA in September and have consistently gotten the run around. I then made another appointment back in October to report it, then was told there was a recall. I asked if I could make an appointment and they said they have no parts, not sure when they will get parts because its on back-order. I went in again in November and my appointment to have the recall looked at was cancelled, therefore they did just an oil change that day. I followed up during that appointment, and was told, again they are unsure when or if they will get parts for the

My vehicle, 2025 Honda HRV EX-L is experiencing paint defects. It does not even have 3000 miles on it, and the paint is peeling. The color is Crystal Black Pearl, and even though outdoor elements are removed from the vehicle immediately, the car is still experiencing paint damage. The paint is cracking and peeling off in multiple areas where outside elements have hit it (tree sap, bird poop, pollen, etc.), the damage is still occurring even if removed immediately. Honda will not honor their paint defect warranty, as they claim this is environmental damage that would not be covered under their paint defect warranty. I was informed that their paint warranty only covers events where the paint is bubbling and cracking from under the paint, or rust is occurring. This defect is happening on a ne

While I was driving, my sunroof on my 2025 Honda HRV EXL exploded. There was nothing that hit it or caused the sunroof to break. I know this due to there being no rock or material inside the area below the sunroof. Also, I would have heard an additionally sound if there were other objects involved, but instead it was one loud crash. I was able to get into contact with a Honda dealership in San Diego and they told me that someone had brought their vehicle in about a month ago for that same issue. I also did some research and found that previous years (2024/2023) Honda HRV's and CRV's have had similar issues. I took my car to Honda to get it fixed today and asked them to inspect it for a manufacturer error and hopefully replace it free of charge since this vehicle was purchased in April 2025

I got in my car and started driving home from work then I heard something just shatter and when I looked back my rear windshield was completely shattered. I pick up my nieces and nephews and drive other peoples children to their appointments. This could have caused a serious injury should I have experienced it during a time I have little kids in my backseat. I am taking it to Gardena Honda first thing in the morning for an inspection. I have seen other people report this issue on 2023-2025 Hondas and after comparing my windshield to theirs its literally the same. There were no warning signs that flashed it was so crazy.

Driving at night on rural interstate with clear weather. Car driving at ~75 mph when the emergency breaking engaged. There was no traffic in front and thankfully none behind. The brakes locked in and the transmission downshifted to stop. Again nothing in front. IF someone would had been behind me, they could not have stopped time with combination of braking and downshifting. Approximately 2 hours latter, this emergency braking system locked again for no apparent reason. The car has <10k miles and again the weather was clear with no rain, fog, etc., pavement dry and no wind. There was limited traffic and no obvious bright street lighting to interfer.

I purchased my car in December 26, 2024 brand new. in January 2025 I had a rock hit my windshield which caused a crack. I had it replaced. Then in June and another rock hit my windshield, which caused another crack, and that windshield was replaced again on August 6, 2025. Within 3 weeks of having it replaced a small piece of gravel hit the windshield causing another crack which I have not replaced yet. Since the last crack, I now have an additional crack cause by another small piece of gravel. I contacted the Honda dealer to which they said "sorry you just have bad luck" I have also filed a complaint with Honda customer service. I've done a little digging, and this seems to be a trend with the new 2025 HR-V body style. I'm concerned that if the windshield is this easy to break with small

My cruise control was not on at the time. I have taken my car to Honda to investigate and they were unable to replicate the issue.
