2024 Honda CR-V brakes problems

Filed Oct 28, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · SC

While driving at approximately 50mph the vehicle abruptly and aggressively applied the brake despite there being no vehicles, pedestrians, or any other objects in its path. The red braking display appeared on the dashboard. After the abrupt braking I was able to resume accelerating as normal. This could have caused a serious collision. The vehicle is scheduled to be inspected at the local Honda dealership service department on 10/31. There were no warning lamps just prior to the incident. However, in mid September the vehicle displayed multiple warnings and had to be taken to the dealership service department. They diagnosed the problem being related to low coolant, but weren’t completely certain that was the issue.

I have experienced this 2 times once in late august early September of this year 2026 and on [XXX] I was making a left turn onto a street in Long Beach, CA in-between [XXX]. I was going under 25 miles and did not have cruise control or the driver assist for lane steering on and as soon as I started to make a left the vehicle abruptly stopped causing the upper half of my body to jerk forward hurting my lower back again and now I have slight headaches waking up in the morning again since then. Its like the vehicle sensed there was a vehicle in front of me, parked cars on the street or passing by me going in the opposite direction, and the automatic break came on as if I was going to be in a collision which I wasn't. Again, I didn't use the steering assistance in the vehicle, because I stopped using it after the first incident occurred. The second time, [XXX] I was going to slow for cruise control to be on, so I'm not sure why this mechanism even was active unless it's just a built-in feature. Nevertheless, built-in or not, it malfunctioned injuring me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am reporting multiple factory defects on my 2024 Honda CR-V, led by a severe, confirmed steering safety defect commonly known as 'sticky steering' where the steering wheel sticks/notches while driving and requires excessive force to correct, causing dangerous lane swerving. The authorized Honda dealership confirmed the steering gearbox has failed and requires replacement but the necessary parts are backordered indefinitely, forcing me to leave the unsafe vehicle at the dealership. Furthermore, the vehicle suffers from two additional major unresolved warranty issues recorded under the same Repair Order: a defective door weather stripping seal that has peeled off and detached from the door frame, compromising cabin weather sealing, and a strong, musty mold odor emitted from the AC system on low fan speeds that poses an air quality and health concern for occupants. Due to this unaddressed steering safety hazard, additional factory defects, and backordered parts, the vehicle remains out of service at the dealership (visited on 11 July, noticed that it's unsafe driving and returned the vehicle to service on 16 Jul) and no replacement car has been provided.

This is the third time this vehicle has experienced wheel lock-up during braking. The first occurrence was over three months ago, while one driver was driving alone. The second occurrence was about one month ago, with a different driver, and a passenger was present who also witnessed the wheels locking; no collision resulted those two times. Both involved the wheels locking during braking and a loss of steering control. On the third occurrence, on June 25, while driving on the freeway, the vehicle ahead braked suddenly. The driver applied the brakes and they initially responded, allowing the driver to slow and avoid hitting the vehicle in front. Immediately afterward, the wheels locked up and the driver lost the ability to steer or maneuver. The anti-lock braking system did not prevent the wheels from locking. Because the vehicle could not be controlled, it was struck from behind by a following vehicle. This defect has now occurred three times over approximately three months, with two different drivers, and has resulted in a collision. It is a recurring, dangerous loss of vehicle control.

I was pulling into a parking space at church. I had my foot lightly on the brake as the idle speed was sufficient to enter the parking space. When I pressed on the brake to stop the car completely the brakes failed and the car lurched forward about 10 ft and hit the church building damaging my front left bumper, buckling the hood and components behind the bumper.

Driving a Honda 2024 crv hybrid ,I was pulling into a front row parking spot and braking and as the car just about was going to stop it surged forward turning in the direction I had just pulled in from and accelerated instead of continuing to brake . I kept my foot on the brake hoping it was stopping , but continued to accelerate running over a sign, then a light post and then through the plate glass frame of the building . Finally coming to rest as it fully entered the building . The vehicle then emitted some smoke from underneath and the building was evacuated. Fortunately no one was in the room at the time the car came through. No injuries thank goodness . No warning signals or any assistive braking was in play . Just my foot on the brake from the time I entered the parking spot . The vehicle was towed to a Honda collision shop where it will have a damage estimate done and then inspected by the car manufacturer. No analysis has been performed at this time .

On April 25, 2026, while the vehicle was stopped at a red light on [XXX] , the vehicle suddenly became inoperable and displayed multiple warning messages and warning lights. The warning messages included “Brake System Problem” and “Auto Idle Stop System Problem.” Additional ABS/VSA, battery/electrical, and system warning lights were also displayed. The vehicle was occupied at the time, including children, and this created a serious safety concern on a major roadway because the vehicle could not be driven or safely moved under its own power. Police responded to the scene, Honda Roadside Assistance was contacted, and the vehicle was towed to an authorized Honda dealer. The suspected affected systems include the brake system, electrical system, battery/charging system, ABS/VSA system, Auto Idle Stop system, and related control modules. The vehicle is currently available for inspection at an authorized Honda dealer. The issue has not yet been fully diagnosed or confirmed by the dealer. The dealer advised that the battery may need to be replaced before diagnosis can continue. However, the battery may have discharged because the vehicle remained in a fault state with warning lights/system alerts active after the original brake/electrical failure. Therefore, the dead battery may be a consequence of the original failure, not necessarily the root cause. There were no known prior warning signs before this incident. The warning messages and lamps appeared at the time of the failure. A full diagnosis is pending. I am concerned that this brake/electrical/system failure could happen again while driving or stopped in traffic and create a safety risk.

I have a Honda 2024 CRV Hybrid. After 18 Months the rear and front brake rotors went bad. I hear a metal screach on the car wheels without using the brages. Dealer Honda states that rotors are under warranty for the first 12 Months and charging $1480 to resurface front rotors and replace rear. He is attributing this to an excessive wear and tear due to high corrosive weather in Florida. He also added that even after replacing the rotors, it's not garatee the new ones will last longer than 12 months. The car has only 11000 Miles and has always been in a closed Garage. This should lead to change Honda's warranty to cover what is clearly a defect.
