2019 HONDA HR-V Complaints

I own a 2019 Honda HR-V that has been consistently maintained at Honda dealerships, including proactive transmission fluid changes every 30,000–40,000 miles. At approximately 104,700 miles, during a routine maintenance visit, the dealer diagnosed a failing CVT transmission. Technicians identified metal debris in the transmission, indicating internal deterioration. This condition is consistent with Honda Technical Service Bulletin 21-047, which acknowledges CVT-related issues in 2016–2019 HR-V models and provides extended coverage for affected vehicles. However, my vehicle was deemed ineligible for coverage because the failure was identified 27 days after the 7-year in-service deadline. Given that transmission deterioration is progressive, it is likely the issue began within the coverage period. Despite this, Honda declined to provide any goodwill assistance. I was quoted approximately $11,000 for the repair. This issue also raises safety concerns. A failing transmission can result in loss of power, hesitation, or inability to accelerate, particularly when merging into traffic or crossing intersections. These conditions increase the risk of an accident, especially if failure occurs unexpectedly while driving. This failure occurred despite proper and proactive maintenance and at a mileage where a transmission failure would not typically be expected.

My drivers seat creeks when I get in and out of the vehicle. Also the drivers seat doesn’t stay elevated over time. I pump the seat up before I enter the vehicle to my desired level that is comfortable for me. However going on long drives the seat slowly goes back down again. The next day would often feel like I am sitting out the floor on the count of the seat goes all the way down all by itself, and without manually adjusting it. I never had a vehicle that did this. It seems the seats are not very good quality and are prone to failure. The drivers and passengers seats are all manual, none are powered in this vehicle.

Odometer screen flickers when temperatures are cold outside. Once car is warm, the screen is visable. Until then, the odometer is blank and gas tank levels and mileage reamainging are unreadable.

2019 Honda HR-V EX-L White exterior. Paint peeled off roof. front of roof (area between sunroof/moonroof and front windshield).

Gas gauge/odometer display blacks out when the vehicle is cold. Does not come on again until the engine warms up.

Since the 2019 Honda HR-V vehicle check engine light has come on numerous times, the vehicle is squeaking, the tire lights have come on numerous times, airbags light is on, the fuel cap light has come on Engine temperature light comes on Any more questions can be emailed or called. Thanks kindly.

Unknown cause. Multiple smart features prompted errors. Replacing battery did not solve issue. Replacing camera temporarily solved issue, but returned.

The forward camera mounted on the windshield failed which means all of the advanced safety features will not work that is a safety hazard when you rely on these systems. Looking on the internet, this seems to be a common problem and is very expensive to fix. There are multiple warning lamps that appear. They are Brake System, Auto High-Beam Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, & Adaptive Cruise Control Problem. I don't understand how there are recalls when the rear camera does not work but not the front camera. They are both safety features.

Premature of paint peeling -- Front part of roof area, few inches from the windshield. It is about 1 1/2 inches( wide) X 2 1/2 ( Long) inch and growing. There are other small spots area on left rear passenger door area and in the trunk area. The paint is flaking off and it keeps getting bigger. Few areas on passenger side around the windshield frame work.

Started vehicle this morning and part of led digital dash cluster display (odometer, fuel, temperature, trip, miles) goes blank and wouldn't recover. Shut down and restarted and lcd display then had glitches where it wouldn't display correctly, partially incomplete. According to forums and Google searches, this is a known problem due to honda bad solder joints (also dealer admit on a post). Bad as mileage would not be recorded/updated during glitch. Need manufacturer repair/replace under recall due to possible federal issue.
