FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The check engine light came on right after my warranty expired two winters ago but then went off. Since then I randomly comes on and goes off. I decided to buy a diagnostic kit and see that it is faulting on the evac system with 6 error codes. I know this is a known issue with my make and model but Honda has yet to issue a recall.
STEERING
There is clicking sound while I turn steering wheel, and the steering is not smooth, it is stuck sometimes in place and needs more force to move it. The sound is at low speeds or high speeds on the highways. It is random.
STEERING
Steering rack failure. Steering wheel "sticks" when straightening out of a curve. This causes a need to force the steering wheel more which then causes an over-correction, possibly into another lane. Very unsafe. Steering rack failure has been confirmed by dealer. It is a known problem by Honda, but yet has never been recalled for 2022 crv's. This problem could get someone killed, a child killed. Honda should be ashamed, especially charging owners $4,000 to fix a problem that is theirs. This is criminal.
STEERING
My 2022 Honda CR-V is having the same issue has the 2023-2025 Honda CR-V's. The steering is sticky. The 2023-2025 were issued a recall but the 2022 is not covered. The is a safety hazard for me and family and puts others in danger as well. From researching, many 2022 owners are having the same issues but no recall has been granted. There are no warning lights on and have never came on to indicate a problem. I hope that you will take into consideration the 2022 Honda CR-V in a national recall. Honda should be made to pay for this problem. If this recall is not issued this could be detrimental to others on the highway. Please consider this complaint and issue a recall before this creates deaths. Thank you!

STEERING,WHEELS
When turning left the steering wheel catches and sticks. It is also causing a stationary chassis shift at full lock.
STEERING
The steering feels sticky or drifts. Have turned off LKAS. The steering sometime bumps or sticks when turning and sometimes feels harder to turn.
STEERING
Steering wheel was sticking. Adjustments to stay in a straight line were difficult and imprecise. An existing recall on this exact issue did not include my vehicle. Although, Honda covered 80% of the steering repair, I had to pay $888 to have the steering repair and 4 wheel alignment done. I assert that the recall should include my vehicle and be reimbursed for the money I paid.
STEERING
I bought this vehicle CPO at a Honda dealer. A pronouced steering issue arose with long banked curves as I drove home that was not evident with straight driving during my test drive. The dealer at first replaced the stabilizer bars but the issue of catching and noise persisted. Upon talking to my son, I learned of the recall associated with the vary same symptoms with Hondas however my year was not included in the recall. The dealership gave me a loaner while it took over 3 weeks to get and install the replacement steering rack. The vehicle no longer has any mechanical issues. I believe the recall years on this issue should be expanded to include 2022 CRVs.
STEERING
I believe my 2022 CRV has the same issue as the 23 to 25 recall for the steering gearbox issue. My car steering wheel gets stuck and can be hard to turn and I’m worried about the safety for me and my family in my car. Please investigate this issue and I believe it should be extended to 2022 year model for recall. I see online other people with 2022 also face this issue. PLEASE HELP IM CONCERNED. Can Honda answer if the same parts and manufacturing process was used on 2022? I have noticed this more in the last year I have owned this vehicle.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my concern regarding the windshield quality on my Honda CR-V. I recently purchased this vehicle and have already experienced three separate chips in the windshield caused by small rocks during normal driving conditions. I have owned several vehicles over the years including Honda SUV, and have encountered similar road conditions without experiencing this level of damage. The frequency with which the windshield has chipped has led me to question the durability and quality of the glass used in my Honda CR-V. While I understand that windshields can be damaged by road debris, it is concerning that a vehicle has sustained multiple chips in such a short period of time. This has resulted in inconvenience, concern about the windshield's long-term integrity, and the potential for costly repairs or replacement. I am requesting that Honda review this matter and advise whether there are any known issues regarding windshield durability for my vehicle. I would also appreciate any assistance or goodwill consideration Honda may be able to provide. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
