Twice my 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid lost power above 85 mph with a flashing check engine light: Restart recovery: Restarting restored normal operation. Check engine light: Flashed then went off after restart. Mileage: Over 100,000 miles.
In February, 2026, while driving the car after cold start within 1 mile of house, engine light started flashing, car was misfiring and was losing power. I had to pull over, turn the engine off, restart it and continue without incident. Car taken to Honda service department; no codes found; problem could not be duplicated; and unable to diagnose issue. Problem continued intermittently and became more frequent until 5/21/26. Honda service duplicated issue and diagnosed problem as leaking fuel injectors. On 5/22/26 car was repaired with 4 new fuel injectors and 4 new spark plugs. Repair cost was $3,549.01. Mileage was 60,775. Safety issue was loss of power on the road.
Creaming sound when steering and it’s known issue with this vehicle
2022 Honda crv. The battery was old and had low voltage. There were no warnings of this and no issues starting car. While idling at light at intersection the entire car just died. It was on and there was power to it, but everything broke and it appeared like there was some kind of major electrical disfunction. No steering no brakes could not shift could not turn car on or off. Towed to Honda dealer. They replaced battery and confirmed this can happen on the road while idling if battery is getting old. Very dangerous
The steering is sticky. It feels stuck when going around curves. This creates a jerky driving experience and I'm worried it could cause an accident on wet or icy roads.
Sticky steering wheel gears and creaky sounds when turning. Confirmed at dealership during inspection. Current recalls for this part include the 2023-2025 crv so they will not fix it for me even though they confirmed it’s the same problem the recalled cars have
Front passenger seatbelt will sometimes not unlock, requiring passenger to maneuver out of the seatbelt and then not use it.
When I am driving on the highway my steering wheel sticks and its difficult to slow down and make either a right or left turn.
I am reporting a potentially serious safety concern involving the front driver's-side window of my 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid. While I was driving on a highway, shortly after leaving a stoplight, the front driver's-side window suddenly shattered. I had just come from a stoplight and was not traveling at high speed. There was no known collision or apparent object striking the window that caused it to break. Honda has already refused to assist me with the repair. I have found several NHTSA owner complaints involving spontaneous shattering or exploding of side/rear window glass on this generation of Honda CR-V, including: • NHTSA complaint 11493390 — 2022 Honda CR-V: the passenger window reportedly suddenly imploded while the vehicle was being driven, with no apparent object striking it. • NHTSA complaint 11581530 — 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid: the passenger rear window reportedly exploded while the vehicle was being driven on a highway, with no apparent impact reported. • NHTSA complaint 11571038 — 2021 Honda CR-V: the driver's-side rear window reportedly spontaneously shattered while the vehicle was parked, with no apparent impact or visible damage explaining the breakage. • NHTSA complaint 11749917 — 2021 Honda CR-V: the rear window reportedly suddenly exploded while the vehicle was being backed out of a driveway, with the owner reporting that nothing struck it. I understand that individual consumer complaints do not by themselves establish a manufacturing defect. However, these reports, together with my own incident involving a 2022 CR-V Hybrid, raise a legitimate safety concern that warrants investigation. I am asking NHTSA to review my complaint together with these existing complaints and determine whether further investigation or action is warranted. I am also asking American Honda to document my incident as a potential safety-related glass failure and reconsider its refusal to assist with the repair. A side window suddenly shattering while a vehicle is being
While driving my 2022 Honda CR-V normally, the passenger-side window airbag(s) suddenly deployed while the vehicle was in motion. There was no collision, crash, or apparent impact immediately before the deployment. The deployment was completely unexpected. The unexpected deployment created a serious safety hazard because the sudden airbag deployment could cause injury, startle the driver, obstruct visibility, and potentially result in loss of vehicle control. The deployed airbag(s) and related SRS components are available for inspection. The cause of the deployment has not yet been determined or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I am not aware of any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms immediately before the deployment. I am requesting that the vehicle and SRS system be thoroughly inspected to determine why the airbag(s) deployed without a collision and whether there is a defect involving the passenger occupant-sensing system, airbag system, sensors, wiring, or related components.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving and steering the vehicle, the steering wheel was sticking. Additionally, the vehicle made an abnormal grinding sound while turning the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure increased while driving 60-80 MPH on the highway and caused a safety risk. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering rack and pinion had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, and an alignment was performed. The contact associated the failure with an unknown recall. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Vehicle Information: * VIN: [XXX] * Year/Model: 2022 Honda CR-V EX I brought my vehicle to an authorized Honda Service Center on 09/23/2026, where the Service Manager informed me that my vehicle's specific VIN is not actively flagged for the [XXX] recall in their system. As a result, they refused to perform the required gearbox spring replacement and lubrication remedy free of charge. Because this is a known, verified manufacturing flaw involving the annealing process and excessive spring preload of the Hitachi Astemo steering gearboxes, the fact that my VIN was omitted from the initial campaign does not absolve American Honda of its liability to repair a dangerous vehicle defect. Driving this vehicle is a severe hazard to myself and others on the road. I request that American Honda immediately issue a corporate goodwill authorization to my local dealer to replace or repair the steering gearbox assembly according to the recall technical service bulletin specifications. Please contact me within 3 business days to establish a case number and coordinate the scheduling of this vital safety repair. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The steering is sticky when changing lanes at highway speeds.
Sometimes when driving the automatic brakes will turn on and the car will suddenly brake hard. This has happened a few times now. I had a few close calls with drivers almost rear ending me because of this. This seems to happen randomly as it always happens in different areas. There were a few times there was nobody else on the road other than me and the automatic brakes would kick in. I put in the date of the last time this occurred to me. This is a reoccurring issue that compromises my safety.
My 2022 Honda CRV Hybrid is experiencing the widely documented 'sticky seering' medhanical defect, causing the vehicle to momentarily catch, stick and jerk at highway speeds, creating a severe overcorrection and crash hazard. The dealership (Skyway Honda Bartlesville, OK) confirmed the rack and pinion system is failing but wants to charge me almost $4789.87 in parts/labor to repair it because Honda corporate has not yet extended the official 24v-744 recall to the 2022 model year. Honda service advisor was able to reproduce the issues No warning lights or messages
2022 CRV-EX with 21,550 miles Steering began sticking about six months ago when turning or rounding curves and has been getting progressively worse. I'm aware of 2023 and newer CRV's being recalled and repaired for this same problem and am hoping that the recall for this dangerous issue could be ordered for the 2022 models. Thank you
I am experiencing a strong mechanical binding, "sticky" sensation, and noticeable clicking noise in the steering wheel of my 2022 Honda CRV when turning, particularly at low speeds and near center, though it is noticeable at highway speeds. There are no warning lights or DTC codes. When rotating the wheel, there is distinct friction and a catching point. While it can be moved past with extra effort, this binding is unpredictable and I sometimes over-correct. The symptoms on my 2022 model are identical to the failure documented in American Honda's safety recall 24V-744 (only covering 2023–2025 CRVs) as well as Honda Service Bulletin 22-011 / Product Update 10216920 for the EPS Gearbox. Despite over 130 identical steering failure complaints logged by 2022 CRV owners on NHTSA, the 2022 model year remains excluded from recall 24V-744. I am filing this report so NHTSA can evaluate expanding campaign coverage retroactively to include 2022 models suffering from this exact EPS defect.
Steering wheel sticking when I turn left and making ticking noise. Took it to Honda and I have to pay $5k to replace the steering wheel rack. They won’t tell me why this happened and it’s because they know the manufacturing part has a defect but they won’t put out a recall for this issue, even though Honda crv years 2023-2025 have an open recall for this issue.
The Steering appears to be sticky on highway speeds. Honda has the recall for this exact same issue but seems like 2022 CRV was excluded from the recall. This is a major safety issue which can easily lead to over correction as you need to add extra strength to adjust the steering wheel when driving on the road.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? When I drive, whether at low or highway speeds, the steering sticks in place and needs to be yanked lightly to correct it. This behavior is described by NHTSA Campaign 24V-744, but Honda says that my VIN is not covered. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I have to force correct my steering which can lead to overcorrection. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, it has been confirmed by a diagnostic at Honda East Cincinnati. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Only the dealer service department. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There are no warning lights or messages. The problem appears in daily driving.
I was driving on hwy when I had to do a hard stop because traffic stopped suddenly in front of my vehicle, no physical contact was made to any cars in front or back of me, suddenly dark smoke started coming from under the hood of car, The car started stalling in middle of the hwy I got out safely opened hood and seen engine area was on fire another person in a vehicle pulled over came out with a fire extinguisher and sprayed to put fire out. there were no prior symptoms or warnings prior to this problem occuring.The car was picked up by my insurance company and taken to a Honda dealer and that is where car is located as they are trying to repair fire damages and no one knows why this fire ocurred.
Driving downhill on Ohio Turnpike at high speed the check engine light started flashing and the car lost power. 2nd time this has happened in one month's time this summer. First time was also on the Turnpike at high rate of speed, going uphill, on a 90+ degree day. Second time was mid 80's, going downhill. Both times after turning car off and on again, check engine light was no longer visible. No codes stored to help determine issue.
My 2022 CRV steering wheel sticks when driving and does not want to turn and is difficult to steer causing me to have to force the wheel and nearly wreck my car. The steering wheel also feels loose and spins around and round while at a stop. The steering wheel knocks/pops during a hard turns. Since this a safety issue well documented online for Honda CRV 2022-2025, I would expect for there to be a recall, but there is not one on my 2022 CRV even though I have been experiencing the issue since 4-6 months ago.
Driving down highway and sunroof spontaneously shattered/exploded. There was no external impact, debris or collision that could explain the failure. Fragments scattered outwards toward roadway as well as lying in sunroof well. I am filing this report to to document the incident and request that NHTSA consider it as part of an ongoing or future investigation into sunroof failures. Car was brought into a local Honda dealer which assumed no responsibility for factory free repair.
About two years ago on an unfamiliar 2 lane highway the stearing failed to recenter itself at the end of a sweeping corner and felt unusually heavy. Thought it might be tire ruts in the road. Breifly on a couple different occasions the steering didnt feel right, like "is it the road or the car". then a few weeks ago on a very familiar stretch of interstate, the car started to pull right so I corrected but the stearing was heavy/ stiff feeling. It continued for about a mile though bends in the road and then became very heavy, feeling similar to trying to turn the wheels sitting still with the engine off. Then suddenly after that felt normal again. No doubt now something is wrong. My wife usually drives the car. I'm a retired local truck driver of mainly urban driving. A less experinced person could easily apply the needed force to correct, then overcorrect causing a crash. To random to be reproduced by dealer. No warning lamps. Formal complaint made to the manufacturer. It is available for inspection
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles. The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations. However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,294 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and 2018-2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A total of 31 complaints alleged a crash and 50 alleged an injury. The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources. In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged. In total, there were X,XXX reports, 93 injury incidents and 47 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22-003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. The scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
On November 29, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE 22-011 after reviewing field reports alleging rear differential seizure in 2018-2022MY Honda CR-V and HR-V vehicles equipped with all wheel drive. To date, ODI has not received any consumer complaints. Some of the field reports received alleged the vehicle’s wheels locked up with no warning while the vehicle was in motion. These vehicles were towed to a dealership. Examination of these vehicles showed the driveshaft had broken and the differential unit was completely damaged. The field reports cited a lack of oil due to damaged oil seals as the cause. Honda provided data including consumer complaints, field reports, and warranty claims they received relating to the loss of oil retention and resulting differential damage. Honda’s data cited 1201 incidents with unique vehicle identification numbers (VINs). The rear differential oil seals prevent the oil from leaking out and protect internal components from contaminants. A loss of oil lubrication results in failure of the vehicle differential. Honda stated that the oil seal’s lip contact with the driveshaft may become unstable due to intermittent changes in internal pressure. Their review of field report and warranty data indicated that these failures occurred early in the vehicle’s life thus the failures were covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Honda stated that in November 2021 they changed the seal specifications and improved the packaging process of the parts for transport. Honda also enacted an enhanced visual inspection process both before and after the oil seal installation on the assembly line. Honda stated that in the event of differential failure, the operator can control the vehicle without stability loss. After the drive shafts break due to differential failure, the operator will hear noises and the vehicle will still function as a 2WD vehicle preventing complete loss of motive power. Based on the following factors, ODI is closing this investigation: · Information regarding field failures does not indicate hazardous outcomes · The failures are occurring early in the life of the vehicle · Repairs are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty · The vehicle can continue functioning as a 2WD without loss of stability control in the event of failure The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist, and the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.
