This creates excessive internal friction, leading to "sticky," "notchy," or stiff steering, abnormal noises, and increased steering effort. Only when I turn my wheel to the left I experience this

The electronic power steering rack is binding internally, causing a highly dangerous sticky steering condition on a 2025 Honda HR-V (VIN: [XXX]). [XXX] Honda previously replaced the steering gearbox assembly under warranty on XXX(Invoice #XXX) due to this exact manufacturing defect. The replacement component has failed again in less than a year. On XXX, under RO# XXX, Service Advisor [XXX] officially certified on the repair estimate that "ELECTRIC RACK IS BINDING INTERNALLY" and noted "SAME CONCERN WAS PRESENT BACK IN XXX. CASE #XXX." The Honda Regional Case Manager called me directly and officially refused to take responsibility or assume the $5,005.81 repair cost due to the vehicle having 60,272 miles, completely denying coverage under Safety Campaign #24V744000. Furthermore, they forced me to pay a $239.73 diagnostic fee under protest just to release my keys. American Honda is acting in bad faith, ignoring a documented, repetitive manufacturing safety defect on an active lease they legally own. I request an urgent federal investigation into American Honda's refusal to remedy this critical safety hazard and demand a full corporate waiver for the $5,005.81 repair and full reimbursement of all out-of-pocket costs.

To Whom It May Concern, I am requesting assistance with a serious steering issue involving my 2025 Honda HR-V, which I purchased on XXX, from Coral Springs Honda in [XXX]. While driving northbound on XXX toward [XXX] with my daughter in the vehicle, the steering began making a loud noise and felt as though it was about to lock. I was unable to steer properly, creating a serious safety concern for my family and other drivers. I brought the vehicle to the dealership and was told I may have to pay for the repair because I exceeded the mileage limit. However, I understand that similar steering problems have been reported with HR-V vehicles, and I believe this issue should be investigated as a possible manufacturer defect or safety-related issue. I respectfully request that Honda investigate my vehicle and determine whether it is affected by a recall, known defect, or other steering-related issue, and consider covering the repair. Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious safety matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2025 Honda HR-V experienced an apparent braking/ABS/VSA system malfunction and is currently at the Honda dealership. The dealership has not released the vehicle back to me, and it is available for inspection. I was completely stopped at a traffic light with my foot firmly on the brake when the vehicle unexpectedly began moving forward while my foot remained on the brake. I did not press the accelerator. The vehicle moved forward and contacted the stopped vehicle in front of me at very low speed. I was unable to keep the vehicle stationary despite applying the brake, putting my safety and the safety of others at risk. The car i hit did have damage and they are filing a claim against my insurance. I took the vehicle directly to the Honda dealership after the incident. Their diagnostic scan found trouble code C1000-94 stored in the vehicle. The dealership is continuing to inspect the vehicle and has not released it to me. There were no warning lights or messages immediately before the incident. However, for several months I have repeatedly brought the vehicle to the dealership with concerns about the brakes. I reported that the brakes feel “gummy” or abnormal and make grinding and high-pitched/shrieking noises. The dealership replaced brake-related clips, but the symptoms continued and the issue was not resolved. I repeatedly told the dealership that the vehicle did not feel safe. I have also reported that the vehicle sometimes pulls while driving. Despite multiple service visits, these concerns persisted. This incident was the first time the vehicle unexpectedly moved forward while I was fully stopped with the brake pedal depressed and resulted in contact with another vehicle.

The 2025 Honda hrv will stall and cut off after pumping gasoline. It will stall out at a red light and not crank back up. It says emissions problem on the dash. I believe it is the fuel pump but there is no recall like the others i have seen online. It’s a brand new car it shouldn’t be having problems like this!

The steering on my ‘25 Honda HRV is sticky, at freeway speeds it makes even slight corrections dangerous. What was meant to be a slight curve turns into a swerve. Steering feels sticky and requires more force to move. I was driving on a curve and attempting to follow the curve on the freeway and the wheel wouldn’t smoothly go
