LKAS lights all came on and ACC warnings. Brake system and auto high beams. Mechanic seems to think it’s the camera, car only has 84,000 miles on it and very well taken care of. This seems to be a big common issue with a lot of HRVs and it’s expensive to fix.

Lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam lights, forward collision warning. It is available for inspection. This is the whole reason we went with this car was the safety features. Now none of the forward Saftey features are currently working because of the front safety camera failure. Have not returned to dealer since it is out of warranty now. No warning lamps before this problem started.

I purchased a brand new 2023 Honda HR-V. Recently, the passenger-side LED headlight assembly suddenly stopped working, and I had to pay $1,500 out of pocket to replace it at a Honda dealer. Shockingly, just one month later, the driver-side LED headlight also completely failed. Having both major LED headlights fail within a single month on a vehicle less than 3 years old indicates a severe factory defect, likely caused by a faulty Body Control Module (BCM) or a voltage spike in the electrical system. This poses a critical safety hazard for nighttime driving. Honda refused to cover it under warranty due to high mileage, but this is clearly not normal wear and tear.

Components of concern: collision mitigation braking system - while driving with no car in front of vehicle, car slammed on brakes - could have caused an accident. Yes, available for inspection. Also, lights went off and said to see dealer (have picture that I'm having issues attaching). Lights that went off were : collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam, adaptive cruise control, some driver assist systems cannot operate (clear front windshield or poor viewing distraction) - all at the same time, even when it's no visible windshield issues. Yes, available for inspection. Want to take to Honda dealership but I'm being charged $80 for a diagnostic when this is a system issue. Not yet

My front windshield developed a crack starting at the base near the wipers, and nothing hit it or caused any obvious damage. It started off really small but has gradually gotten bigger over time. The car is available if anyone needs to inspect it. The crack is a safety concern because it can affect visibility, especially with glare from sunlight or headlights at night, and if it keeps spreading it could weaken the windshield. The issue hasn’t been reproduced since it just seemed to happen on its own, but it’s easy to see and confirm by looking at it. It hasn’t been inspected yet by the manufacturer, police, or insurance (you can adjust this if needed), and there were no warning lights or signs before it showed up. It just appeared one day and has been spreading since.

4/22/2025, my Honda HRV 2017 is parked and locked. The front/rear head lights will come on after the car is locked for 45 second and around 5 seconds after the lights came on it will sound off the alarm. The next day i took it to Honda to do diagnostic and they told me is the Body Control Module(BCM) issue. It will cause $1,350 +tax to replace it. It is pricey but it seems odds an eight years old car barely 45k miles with good taken care that a module so easy to went bad. Also all services(transmission oil, synthetic oil change, brake fluid, etc...) are done at the dealership nothing being done outside. I also found online there are some amount people complain about the same issue and same model year/model. One with the highest quote of $1,800+ to replace the BCM. I don't see any recall on this 2017 Honda HRV related to the BCM. But there is a related to BCM for 2018-2020 Accord, Accord hybrid, & Insight. The year of recall very close and there are some amount people complains about the BCM for Honda HRV 2017. Could have they used the similar BCM for HRV then follow through to the later year that for Honda Accord/Insight and got the recall? Could the HRV model be in the recall as well? It is just vert odd a good taken care car with low miles that the module so easy went out.
