Filed Nov 9, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · OH

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.

Car went into "limp mode" while we were driving on the turnpike on a hill at 70 MPH. Speed dropped to 30 MPH in an area with a construction zone so there was little room to pull to the side of the road safely. We were lucky to be in the right lane so made it to the side next to the construction barrels.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50-60 MPH, the check engine warning light flashed and several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode, lost motive power, and failed to properly accelerate. The contact restarted the vehicle; however, the vehicle remained in LIMP Mode. The contact exited the interstate, left the vehicle in a parking lot, and had the vehicle towed to a dealer the following day. The failure was a recurring failure. The contact stated the vehicle had been inspected by two independent mechanics and two Honda dealers and was currently located at a third Honda dealer awaiting a diagnostic test. The first independent mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The first dealer diagnosed the vehicle with an inoperable spark plug and ignition coil in cylinder #1. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The second independent mechanic replaced all the spark plugs and ignition coils; however, the failure persisted. The second dealer diagnosed the vehicle with head gasket failure and determined that the timing belt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to a third Honda dealer but it was not yet diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened; however, the contact stated that no response had been received. The failure mileage was 95,000.

While driving my 2022 Honda CRV at highway speeds and at operating temperature, the steering sticks and/or pauses then releases causing the steering to jerk back in the opposite direction. This creates a major safety issue while driving on the highway and can potentially cause an accident. Additionally, when turning the vehicle left at slow speeds, we would periodically hear a clicking noise. These problems began at the beginning of 2024 and have progressively gotten worse. Initial attempts to have Honda identify the problems failed as they could not replicate the problems at the time of diagnostics. During this time, our warranty expired. On May 20, 2026, we once again had the vehicle inspected by Pohanka Honda of Salisbury, MD for the same issues. This time the lead mechanic technician was able to replicate and pinpoint the problem. He noted the problem was the "Electrical Power Steering System Assembly and Gearbox Assembly", which contained the worm gear and worm wheel assembly. The dealership quoted us a price of $2,153.00 for parts, labor, and a full alignment, which is required during this type of repair. The service technician advised there are no current recalls to cover the cost of this repair. The Honda Corporation has suggested we apply for their “Goodwill Assistance Program”, to help cover cost for out-of-warranty repairs, but there was no guarantee that we would qualify for any monetary relief. We believe Honda Corporation is ignoring a major defect and safety issue regarding the electrical power steering assembly and gearbox, on older CRV models. This same part has been deemed as defective and a major safety issue on newer CRV models between 2023-2025 and has recalled those vehicles for repair. I believe the company should be required to recall all vehicles with the defective electrical power steering assembly and gearbox. Fortunately for us, Honda made the repair and covered the full cost through the Goodwill Assistance Program.

This morning, around 9 AM, I was stopped on [XXX] in traffic, just south of [XXX] . [XXX] ) Foot on break, waiting for traffic to start moving. Engine suddenly revved to about 4k RPM. Car started to lurch a bit, I had to put increased pressure on the brake to hold it. I wasn’t sure the brake would hold, so I shifted to neutral, engine revved up over 4k. It settled back down and I was able to drive to the Honda dealer on [XXX] (less than a mile from where the incident occurred.) Left the car there to be worked on. Car was in the engine idle shutoff mode. I don’t recall if it started revving coming out of that mode, but I don’t think so since my foot would have been off the brake at that point. Other than the lurch that occurred while I was pressing hard on the brake, I didn’t move the car until after I had put it in neutral and it settled down. Then I put it in drive and moved forward. I don't recall any warning lamps or messages. No report yet from the Honda dealer [XXX] ), but I wanted to report this since this should never happen -- regardless of the root cause.

When car was at 44,000 miles, check engine light repeatedly went on, and Honda dealership determined the car needed adjusted valve job. Car rode rough, and I was worried it would cut out on drive. Now that car is at 77,000 miles, check engine light came on with the exact same problem (misfire on cylinder 1). Car rode rough, and I was worried it would cut out on the drive to the dealership, but they said they couldn't diagnose the issue unless the light was actively on. I feel like this is a defect with this car model.

When speeding up to highway speeds, the check engine light will start flashing and car will going into limp mode and lose power. Turning the car off and then back on fixes the problem, but it also removes any check engine codes. This has occurred 3x in the last month, unable to determine when or why it is occurring.
