My 2024 Honda HR-V has a jerky steering problem when I drive on the freeway is when it happens a lot specially when going in a curve. When my steering wheel gets stuck it causes my Honda to swerve and its dangerous because I don't want to hit a car next to me. I took it to the Honda dealer 3x and they keep telling me nothing is wrong.

Owner report 11575641 · 2024-03-05 (March 5, 2024)
For the second time, while driving normally, with no obstructions in my lane ahead of me, my car’s collision mitigation system abruptly and harshly hit my brakes while warning sounds deployed. This was enough to cause me and my passenger to leap forward in our seats; thankfully we were wearing our seatbelts. I have not been to the dealership yet for this issue, but will tell them at my first oil change. I’m really angry because the jolt this faulty sustem gave us was enough to trigger a panic attack or even a heart attack.

Warning light keeps coming on the gauge saying clean windshield or your safety features will not operate. Comes on as soon as I drive car into my garage. Came on even after washed the car by hand. Been to the dealer twice and the second time they changed the camera in the windshield. Light came back on 3 days later. There is an electrical issue because the rear led cargo lights remain glowing even after turning off car. This was also addressed at the dealership. This is definitely a safety concern is my safety features will not operate if “wind…

Bought 5/28/24 a little over 2k miles on it. Noticed paint changing color on 8/3 at night when raining. Next morning the speckles of paint that the rain drops hit that were white disappeared. That night I was also frayed because there had been this foggy what looked like water stains on my windshield that the wipers weren’t cleaning off everytime it rained. Thought it was my windshield wipers or something I was doing with the condensation in the air when it rains. 8/8 downpour all day and my Car panel is completely white and in The morning it…

Owner report 11558941 · 2023-12-07 (December 7, 2023)
My hrv has a twitching like feeling in the steering and steering sticks going around curves on the freeway. Sometimes when just driving straight I can feel the steering wheel jerking to the right. Fuel gauge is totally off. I can get to around 70miles of range left fuel light comes on and I drive about 2-3 miles and that 70 miles of Range will drop to 26 miles of range. I fill up around 12miles of Range left and it only take around 10.5 gallons to fill it up which the tank is suppose to hold 14gallons of gas. Cvt transmission is very jerky.…

Owner report 11624846 · 2024-11-12 (November 12, 2024)
This is the second recall for this HRV Sport. First was a seatbelt issue which was fixed then, now the gearbox issue has a recall and no fix. There is also an issue with my brake pedal which Honda checked and said "there is nothing to do". Also, my window keeps going up and down its sensor issue only to hear "We looked at it". I have a $550 monthly payment for a car that is dangerous for me and everyone else on the road. I want to return this car as I am totally turned off by the response of Honda. What can I do?

Owner report 11666808 · 2025-06-13 (June 13, 2025)
My vehicle has the check engine light on due to problems in the fuel tank emissions system. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer on more than 7 occasions and they have not provided a solution. The vehicle is expelling gases through the fuel tank cap and has an excessively bad smell of gasoline.
