2022 HONDA CR-V Complaints

Since fall 2023 the steering has been sticking and jerky, originally at highway speeds but now at nearly all speeds. It feels like lane-assist is engaging but it’s not. This becomes dangerous when the steering requires more pressure than anticipated, potentially resulting in overcompensation. For example, when traveling 70 hours mph and navigating a slight curve in the road, the steering wheel will stick and nearly cause a lane change which requires a quick turn of the wheel. The vehicle was taken to a Honda dealer and I participated in a ride-along with the technician, who could not reproduce the issue. There are no warning lamps or codes visible.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the vehicle temporarily lost motive power. The contact stated that upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently while turning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

I received a recall notice in January 2024 from Honda informing me of a safety recall. My vehicle is under recall because “The 12 battery cable harness does not contain a fuse on the positive power circuit……….” I have contacted my local Honda dealer 3 separate times since January and each time I am told that there are no parts available, and that my name is on their waiting list to be repaired as available parts come in. I’ve complained that 6 months is excessive to have to wait for a recall repair part. The Honda dealer, in this case, Barber Honda in Bakersfield, CA, says that there is nothing they can do but simply apologize on behalf of Honda. It is completely ridiculous!

Had my 3rd service done on my 2022 Honda CR-V EX-L 5/24/21 and for the third time the rear end was out of alignment. When I researched the issue online I found that this was an issue with this body style CR-V and a TSB was issued for this due to the excessive tire wear that is happening due to this alignment issue. My tires had been making a whomping sound since after my second service at 15000 miles. My vehicle now has 22750 miles on the tires and has worn unevenly causing the whomping sound and need to be replaced prematurely. They have worn down from 10.1/32nds to between 5/32nd to 6/32nds depending where on the tire you measure. This is due to the alignment being out and causing this uneven wear. After showing the dealership the TSB about this they reached out to their American Honda district rep who graciously agreed to assist in helping with the cost of replacing my tires due to this issue. I had also contacted Honda Consumer Affairs to report my unhappiness with this issue and they informed me that my year model was not covered by the issued TSB 20-081 and 20-048 and refused to honor the repair under 20-081 and pay to have the alignment done to the new specs described in TSB 20-048. They stated It only covers through model year 2018-2021 which is the same body style as the 2022 and I am having the same issue that was reported as the previous years vehicle. The alignment should not be going out in that short of time and causing excessive tire wear. I did not have this issues with my two previous Honda's being driven over the same roads. The 2022 model CR-V should be included in the TSB's.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V844000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I didn't even receive this notice from Honda.. I got an email from Carfax that I have a recall. NHTSA: #23V-844 Recall: #FGB 2020-22 CR-V Hyb 12V Pos. Battery Cable Safety Recall. This recall is from Jan. 9, 2024. This is what scares me. If the vehicle is involved in a crash to the left front fender area under certain circumstances, a short circuit to the power circuit can occur and the battery cable can overheat, increasing the risk of a fire and/or injury. All the Honda dealers say there is a backorder for these parts, and in the meantime, I'm afraid to drive my car because I'm at risk for possible injury. What is the recourse here?

Steering is difficult - it sticks and requires extra effort to steer the vehicle

The vehicle automatically locked while my key fob was inside the vehicle. I closed the door with the child in my car, and walked away. When I returned, I had found that the car had automatically locked and my key was inside. My child was trapped inside the vehicle. I called emergency responders who arrived quickly and was able to pry open the door and unlock the vehicle. The "Walk Away Auto Lock" feature was not activated, so it should not have locked on its own. Other car owners have reported this issue with children and pets being trapped in the vehicle.

While exiting the highway the steering wheel stuck in a turn and it extra took force to straighten to stay within the limits of the roadway. The care swerved form due to over correcting and took work to keep it on the road. The steering seems to have a sticking point in it causing to over correct to get past this point in the gearbox. I have also noticed a clicking noise at low speeds when moving the steering wheel from side to side. I had originally thought that this was due to the lane keep assist but this was turned off at the time of the near accident.
