“When starting the car up and backing out of my garage It sounds like my rotors or brakes are grinding I took it to the dealer, and they told me that that was standard on the 2025 CRV. It is grinding so loud and hard like it is cutting into the rotors. I need someone to take responsibility.My car is only less than one year old.It will be one year on 2/20/2026. This is my seventh c r v and i've never had this problem before.”

“I was trying to realign my vehicle to eventually reverse in and park. As I was going forward, I braked four times (3 slamming the brakes) and the vehicle did not slow down or stop and eventually hit my neighbors wall. -I have a video, but the system only allows photos. Please contact me for video”

NHTSA complaint #11621710, filed 2024-10

“After stopping the car I shut off the engine while the gear/selector was still in D (Drive). The car began rolling forward since the driveway has a slope. My car hit the car parked before my car. The front bumper has been damaged. Later. I've checked several times this situation: If engine shuts off while selector is in D, the vehicle rolls instead of holding on a slope. This is a serious safety issue! Many driveways have slopes.”
