Woke up at [XXX] [XXX] to neighbor banging on door and yelling your car is on fire. Vehicle is parked in front driveway, front part of the car where engine is ablazed. Neighbor said he heard "pops" like firecrackers/gunshot when he went to look out his window the fire was reflected on the fence across the car. I did google search for possible fire causes and search returned with Recall notice for fuel pump, battery and battery cladding on model. Contacted Honda but Aileen just promised to send inspector for joint inspection with USAA inspector but hasn't been responsive to call or emails for follow up. Fortuntaely, didn't park in the garage or we would have been burned down with the house also quite fortunate that car was driving on the road. Vehicle is being inspected by insurance USAA and will get report on insurance details with AMERICAN HONDA not responding to Report Case #[XXX] they keep fobbing me off by asking to call back 1‑800‑999‑1009 x 88146 or email [email protected].

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to report a serious safety concern with my 2023 Honda CR-V All-Wheel Drive, regular gasoline version. On three separate occasions while driving at high speed on the highway, my vehicle suddenly lost power and the engine stalled without warning. When this occurred, the starter would not engage, the vehicle had no electrical power, and multiple warning messages appeared on the dashboard, including Emission System Problem and All-Wheel Drive System Problem. This type of sudden stall while driving at highway speed creates an extremely dangerous situation and puts both the driver and other motorists at serious risk. I am aware that Honda has issued fuel pump recalls for the 2023 CR-V Hybrid models. However, my vehicle is the regular gasoline version, and based on my experience, I strongly believe that a similar fuel pump defect exists in these models as well. I respectfully request that this issue be investigated as a potential safety defect, and that Honda initiates a recall for the regular gasoline CR-V models to address this problem.

I brought my 2023 Honda CR-V into my local dealership on December 7, 2024 to address a “creaking” noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. Upon checking in with the service adviser, I was advised that my vehicle had 2 active safety recalls - the fuel pump, and the EPS gear box. I received an email from the dealership with an “inspection video” attached. Within the video, the technician states, “As far as the noise concern that you’re having, the only creaking noise I was able to hear, was the noise from the electronic brake motor, which is a normal characteristic of this vehicle… couldn’t find anything else going on”. Upon picking up my vehicle, I was advised the same by the service adviser, and was further advised that someone would be calling me as soon as the part came in to fix the EPS recall. On January 17, 2025, I called the dealership to inquire about when they anticipated on being able to fix the recall, as it had been approximately 6 weeks since I was advised that someone would be calling me when the part arrived. During this phone call, I was advised that the part had been steadily in stock for the past couple of weeks, and that I could bring in my vehicle anytime to fix the recall. On January 18, 2025, I brought my vehicle back to the dealership for the repair of the recall, and further explained to the service adviser that I was still hearing the “creaking” noise, as well as a “metallic” clicking noise coming from the steering wheel upon hard left turns. Approximately 5 hours later, I received a call from the service adviser explaining that the technician was able to identify both noises that I had described, and while they were able to replace the recalled part, it did not resolve the issue, and that my vehicle was in need of a steering rack replacement. She further explained that they were not authorized to replace the steering rack under the terms of the safety recall, and that the part is not covered under the factory warranty.

Manufacturer refuses to fix open recalls via its dealer network. I have been calling my local Honda dealer, Wolfchase Honda in Bartlett, TN (ZIP: 38133) for almost two months asking them to fix my vehicle. They tell me they do not have the parts for either the steering gearbox recall (the federal safety agency recall number: 24V‑744) or the fuel pump recall (the federal safety agency recall number: 24V‑763) and to call back. When I call back they tell me then tell me they have given all the parts to other customers, despite having promised me a call back and my having called repeatedly to schedule service over the past two months. I recently spoke with American Honda and they confirmed that limited part availability is NOT mentioned in their recall bulletins, i.e., that part availability should not be an issue. The potentially faulty steering and propulsion system endanger myself and my two year old son every day as I take him to day care and the systems are at risk of failing and causing a crash. American Honda appears interested in resolving the recall, but Wolfchase Honda, their local dealer in Bartlett, TN, refuses to provide required recall service.

I read about a recall for my vehicle's fuel pump and called Coggin Honda in St Augustine, Florida on Nov 1, 2024. They did not have the parts in to remedy the situation. Today (Nov 22, 2024) I received a notice from Honda (Corporate in Torrence, CA), that another recall has occurred. Once again, I called Honda near me, and once again, these parts are not in. I need to complain that these recalls are considered dangerous and Coggin Honda is not helping remedy the situations in a time manner. I want to go on record to record the dates I contacted Honda for these very important recalls.

(1) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling specific 2023-2025 CR-V vehicles due to a defect in the steering gearbox worm wheel. This improperly produced component may swell during use, which compromises the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear. Furthermore, the worm gear's spring preload was set too high, escalating the sliding force between these parts. Consequently, the combination of reduced grease film and increased friction leads to greater resistance during steering. Safety Risk The heightened friction between the worm gear and worm wheel results in increased steering effort and difficulty, significantly elevating the risk of a crash or injury. (2) Recall Summary American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is urgently recalling certain 2023-2025 multi-model year Honda vehicles due to critical defects in the high-pressure fuel pump. The improper production has led to the formation of cracks at the solenoid core component, which can result in a dangerous fuel leak during operation, especially in lower mileage vehicles. Safety Risk The presence of a fuel leak poses an extreme risk, as it can ignite in the presence of an ignition source. This scenario significantly heightens the risk of fire, crash, or serious injury, demanding immediate attention and action. I contacted the American Findlay Honda Management Department in Henderson, Nevada, only to be hit with a stark refusal; they will not place me in a new 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. As a long-time customer, I felt utterly bewildered and crushed by this response. Just weeks ago, they aggressively pushed this specific vehicle to me, fully aware that significant recalls were on the horizon. This is not just terrible news—it’s a blatant betrayal by management! I am seriously contemplating legal action against American Honda and Findlay Honda in Henderson, Nevada. Their actions scream deceit and predation; they are nothing less than crooks and sharks

I went into the Honda of Seattle dealership to repair the #QJT 2023-25 CR-V EPS Grbx Greasing Saf Rec (the federal safety agency#24V‑744) and the #PJW 2023-25 Multi-Model High-Pressure Fuel Pump Stop Sale (the federal safety agency#PENDING) issues. The service desk informed me that no work could be performed until the parts are delivered to the dealership. I purchased the vehicle from this same dealership. My car sputtered and lost speed for several seconds during a drive in Summer 2023. I had to let go of the gas before the car returned to normal operation. I did not know it at the time but it was most likely caused by the fuel pump defect. I thought it was related to one of the other 2 recalls for the vehicle around the same time. There were many cars driving near me. We were going around a curvy and windy road. I must move from Seattle to Oklahoma City immediately. However, I can't now since it is unsafe to drive my vehicle with a fuel pump and steering defect. I'm unable to extend my accommodations in Washington and so may be forced to drive a long distance in an unsafe vehicle.
