2025 Honda HR-V driver assistance problems

Filed Sep 28, 2026 · Driver assistance, Steering · FL

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 contact owns a 2025 Honda HR-V. The contact stated that after entering the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start, and the doors failed to lock. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with battery failure. The battery was replaced, but moments later, after leaving the dealer, the TPMS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven back to the dealer, and a software recalibration was performed, but the failure reoccurred. The next morning, the vehicle failed to immediately start. After the vehicle was restarted, it was driven to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the failure might have occurred due to an alarm failure affecting the battery. No further information was available. The contact stated that while attempting to switch to the left lane, the Lane Departure: Lane Keep feature malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to steer back into the right lane. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 16,800.

We had an accident with my Honda HRV where we rear-ended another vehicle. Right before the crash, a message showed on the dashboard that the brakes system isn't working. Also the airbag didn't deploy. We suspect a technical failure that caused the accident. The Car was towed and then totaled. We had to go to the ER twice. The problem hasn't been confirmed by a dealer yet, and I opened a case with Honda US. It's been a week now and no response yet from Honda US. There was a light snow on that day.

Driving at night on rural interstate with clear weather. Car driving at ~75 mph when the emergency breaking engaged. There was no traffic in front and thankfully none behind. The brakes locked in and the transmission downshifted to stop. Again nothing in front. IF someone would had been behind me, they could not have stopped time with combination of braking and downshifting. Approximately 2 hours latter, this emergency braking system locked again for no apparent reason. The car has <10k miles and again the weather was clear with no rain, fog, etc., pavement dry and no wind. There was limited traffic and no obvious bright street lighting to interfer.

While parking my car and going under 20 mph, my car suddenly accelerated. My foot was not on the brake or the accelerator when this occurred. I was forced to slam my brake to prevent myself from hitting the curb in front of me . This has happened twice, both in the process of turning to park and going under 20 mph. My cruise control was not on at the time. I have taken my car to Honda to investigate and they were unable to replicate the issue.
