“I have a 2019 HR-V ex-l that I bought new in october of 2019. On 12/9/2020, on my way to work, I was driving about 55 MPH on a highway and I heard a loud pop. I opened my sunroof visor to find that my sunroof had shattered. I closed the visor immediately, so that glass would not fall on me. I called the dealership to let them know that I was bringing it in, and to ask if this would be covered under warranty, and was told no. …”
NHTSA complaint #11384067, filed 2020-12, 26,228 miles“My incident occurred in january 2020, within 2 weeks of purchase. The car was brand new. I was driving in my parking garage and turning into my parking spot. As I was making the turn to the right, I hit the brakes to slow down. Instead of reducing speed, the car accelerated and hit a cement pole next to my parking spot. The car shut down immediately, but the air bags did not go off. The front end was completely damaged and required extensive repair on the front bumper and grill, front lamps, radiator, and cooling,”
NHTSA complaint #11354632, filed 2020-09, 3,000 miles“All of my braking/abs lights intermittently go on and off. My 2019 Honda HRV runs fine but when dealer looked at it they said it was the VSA and to replace would be over $4k. Dealer said eventually my vehicle may shut down if not taken care of. I am wondering if this is a common problem and if will be a recall?”
NHTSA complaint #11735985, filed 2026-05“Odometer/fuel gauge goes black and shows nothing on it. Has caused risk because I can not see how much gas I have and have to wait till the gas light turns on. It does it when it gets below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I am unable to see my mileage, the temperature, level of gas I have, the time, etc. It will go back on when it is warmer out but will not when it gets cooler.”
NHTSA complaint #11600292, filed 2024-07“My car is flood. I was told that a filter became clogged and was causing flooding in the car. Honda said that they cannot cover the repairs dispute me paying for full services. This issue wasn’t caused by any external factors and they agreed with. I have seen that many other ppl have complained about the same thing”
