2022 HONDA CR-V Complaints

Less than a year old and at 3207 miles, the vehicle would not start and showed absolutely no life. The 12v battery was completely drained and required a jump start. The battery did NOT go bad, has no dead cells and the charging system shows no issues when tested. Either the hybrid has a parasitic drain on the low-end battery or the hybrid system does not consider when the 12v battery is low, the gas engine needs to run for charging the 12v battery.

When I tried to reverse the car the car went forward. I put the car in park and tried to reverse again the car went forward again, I tried one more time and the car went forward while in reverse. I shut the car off and gave it a few minutes, I turned it back on and tried one more time and the car finally reversed. R was indicated on the dashboard and the reverse camera was on while the car was driving forward.

The contact's daughter owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked during hot weather conditions, the interior of the vehicle would get hot, causing the lane departure feature to malfunction. The lane departure warning light illuminated and beeped. The failure caused distractions while driving and failed to deactivate until the vehicle cooled down. The contact stated that her daughter turned on the A/C to cool down the vehicle to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front camera system needed to be replaced; however, replacement parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,850.

When traveling with the cruise control engaged, the vehicle will suddenly begin braking with no vehicles or objects in front of the vehicle. It’s occurred multiple occasions and some episodes are a quick braking where it then suddenly accelerates back up to the set speed, and during other episodes I quickly hit the accelerator as I wasn’t sure if it was going to recover itself and I did not want to get rear ended.

I was driving at about 40-45 MPH on a clear road - nothing in front of me, nothing in back. Suddenly the car, on its own, deployed the breaks very hard. It happened without warning. If there had been a car in back of me there would have been no time for that car to stop. My head whipped forward and back. The airbag was not deployed. I was not injured but very shaken up. I want to repeat that there was nothing in front of me that the breaks would need to be deployed. This could have been a life-threatening disaster.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The vehicle was parked by a storefront on a slope, the front end was pointed downhill. The contact stated that he was loading a vacuum into the rear of the vehicle and the liftgate was up. The contact was bending at the waist and his head, shoulders, and chest were inside the vehicle as he loaded the vacuum, when the lift gate triggered and closed down on his lower back. The contact stated that there was no warning, and also the gate safety devices had failed and had not sensed that he was partially inside the vehicle. The contact stated that the lift gate had attempted to continue closing and he had felt pressure on his lower back and was almost trapped by the liftgate. The contact had used his upper back to push the lift gate up and had squeezed out as the liftgate closed. The contact stated that he had suffered injuries to his lower back, however, he did not seek medical attention. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer, and the vehicle was not diagnosed and not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

Brakes are applied at a slow and fast speed for no reason. Also the touch screen turns off or loses view while driving and car is sluggish when you excelerate the gas peddle.

The electronic dashboard looks like a video game. Both the book and the dealer told me that I must watch the dashboard for the signal that the electric vehicle or EV mode is ready to engage. I must then with my right hand press a button that is below the entertainment center. There is also an economy mode. Again the dashboard tells me when it’s ready and I’m supposed to push that button when that light appears This is very distracting and dangerous. This should all be done automatically by the computer

In April 2022, my dad purchased a brand new Honda CRV 2022 hybrid touring edition. This car was deemed as one of the safest cars on the market and was his main intent while buying it. A couple of weeks ago this car was the prime suspect of a fire that impacted both the car and our house. Let me break down exactly how this occurred and where the blame should fall on this situation. When I was slowly backing out of my garage, I noticed that my car was not straight and that I needed to turn my wheel in order to straighten it out. When doing so, 3/4 of my car made it out of the garage, even the side mirrors. However, the area on the top left on my wheel scratched the side of my garage. When this occurred, I did not think much of it since scratching cars is not that uncommon, especially when reversing. The worst that is expected to happen is chipping of the paint and a minor dent. But when I got out of the car to access the situation I noticed that smoke started releasing out of the area of the impact. By the time I called my dad, a little fire was also present at the area of the impact. He advised me to go inside the house and use water or other resources in order to try putting out the fire myself. So I went inside and by the time I got back, the fire had greatly increased in size. This all happened in a matter of 2 minutes! I quickly called 911 and 2 police cars came as soon as possible. The officers tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher but there was no luck. The flames have already started making its way up the side of the garage and engulfing some of the sidings. After a while, the fire department put out the fire. How can a scratch of 2-inch depth, 4-inch width, and 6-inch height cause immense damage to a car and a house! Honda needs to consider this when reviewing the architectural design of its battery position. This is a serious safety flaw that could jeopardize many lives. I was grateful that the fire did not impact me but I fear for others.
