I was driving normally, and a car was coming up to a stop sign from my right side on a completely different road and the car jerked and the brakes automatically applied to the car and the dash blinked “BRAKE” for a brief moment. I’ve had the car for awhile and it has never done anything like that. Some days the blind spot doesn’t work either, when I know there is a car next to me the light on the mirrors and the beeping does not activate.

What owners say
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The steering system appears to have malfunctioned. It is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I felt slight, momentary resistance when turning the steering wheel, mainly to the right. The resistance would then suddenly disappear and the steering wheel then lurched forward up to about 1" in the direction that I was turning the steering wheel, causing a bit of oversteer. I fear that this problem could develop into a full failure of the steering system while driving. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not yet, although I have a service appointment scheduled with a dealer to discuss and investigate this problem. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure? No. When did they first appear? 10/3/2024
In our 2024 Honda HRV, If you are holding the steering wheel at 12 and turn it to 12:02 or to 11:58 there is stickiness, once the going past the stickiness there is then a jerk in the wheel.
The steering wheel sticks when traveling straight. In order to maneuver the wheel a bit to stay in the lanes you have to jerk the wheel. It is not smooth but sticks and need to jerk the wheel.
The steering is sticking. It started around 4,000 miles and has gotten progressively worse at now 9,000 miles. It makes the vehicle very difficult to drive and very dangerous in rainy conditions because I am afraid it is going to slide having to snatch the steering out of a curve on a wet road! It's like a build up of pressure where the steering wheel wants you to go in one direction and you have to break it free to be able to turn. It is a constant battle, even on straight roads. Just a constant jerking motion to even drive it straight! I travel a road every day with 4 round-a-bouts and I have to break the steering out of the curve every time. If I am sitting at a dead stop with my hand resting on the steering wheel, it's like after a few seconds the pressure breaks free and it allows the steering wheel to turn and my hand to fall to the side with it. I have never encountered such a thing! I hate it! It is DANGEROUS! I cannot believe I have a new vehicle that I absolutely hate to drive because of this!!!!!!!!!!!!! There wasn't an incident but I am putting 11/15/2023 below because that is when I had to drive it in the rain out of town and was literally terrified at the way it drove! I don't remember the exact date it started but I remember that day for sure!
The steering wheel gets “sticky” when driving straight. An incident has not happened yet but it makes me uneasy to drive bc at times I have to jerk the steering wheel which can potentially cause over correcting. There are not any warning lights and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request
My hrv has a twitching like feeling in the steering and steering sticks going around curves on the freeway. Sometimes when just driving straight I can feel the steering wheel jerking to the right. Fuel gauge is totally off. I can get to around 70miles of range left fuel light comes on and I drive about 2-3 miles and that 70 miles of Range will drop to 26 miles of range. I fill up around 12miles of Range left and it only take around 10.5 gallons to fill it up which the tank is suppose to hold 14gallons of gas. Cvt transmission is very jerky. Jerks more in cold weather and coming to a complete stop I get a very pronounced jerk
My 2024 Honda HR-V has a jerky steering problem when I drive on the freeway is when it happens a lot specially when going in a curve. When my steering wheel gets stuck it causes my Honda to swerve and its dangerous because I don't want to hit a car next to me. I took it to the Honda dealer 3x and they keep telling me nothing is wrong.
