The car was being driven on a busy road. The car stopped at a stop light and when there was an attempt to drive again, the car shut down and would not move. There was much traffic behind me and car horns blew and several almost hit me. My car was stopped and would not respond. After a few minutes multiple warning messages appeared and I was able to put on the hazard warning lights. The police were called and pulled up behind the car to protect it and help. Before they arrived I feared that the car would be rear ended. Ultimately a tow truck showed up and towed the car to a dealship. The dealship found that the body control panel had failed. The car was 4 years old and ahd less than 30,000 miles. The dealship so far has not been able to make a repair.

Defect investigations
Inadvertent Automatic Emergency Braking
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.

Rear Differential Seizure
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 vehicleâs 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. Hondaâs 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 sealâs 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 vehicleâs life thus the failures were covered by the manufacturerâs 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 manufacturerâs 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 the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist, and the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.

What 2022 Honda CR-V owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
On XXX, I was driving at approximately 50mph when suddenly i lost power. I was able to pull over, shut it off, started it again with no issues. I called the Honda dealer in [XXX] where I bought the car. It was suggested I have the battery and alternator checked I immediately took it to a trusted mechanic. He found one misfire but battery and accelerator were fine. The CRV continued to drive with no issues until XXX. The exact problem occurred. I’m not using the car until my appointment on Wednesday, XXX. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The power steering is sticking making it very dangerous. Dealer says the power steering rack needs replacing. Other CR-V’s have been recalled for this same issue but mine is not under the recall.
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.
