“We experienced two problems with our Honda HRV, which was purchased in June 2025 (less than a year ago). The first issue is that the engine started displaying warning lights and would not turn on. This was due to rodents chewing on the wires, which were apparently soy-based plastic. The second issue is that the rear windshield shattered for no reason the other day. This is apparently a known issue with 2023 and 2024 HRV vehicles that led to a recall, but it also appears to be occurring with the 2025 HRV.”
NHTSA complaint #11713597, filed 2026-01“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11666368, filed 2025-06“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11740771, filed 2026-05“Honda hrv 2025 malfunctioning when brake hold system is activated. Brake hold system lets individuals use the brake whenever needed without your foot having to be on the pedal the entire time. You can come to a red light, step on the pedal and take your foot off the pedal and the car will remain stopped until you press on the gas. Over the course of leasing this vehicle sometimes the brake system problem message would show but it would disappear right away. …”
