AT 9808/9809 MILES MY CAR DEVELOPED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A FUEL LEAK. IN CLOSE QUARTERS LIKE MY GARAGE IT IS POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS IN MY GARAGE DUE TO A PILOT LIGHT FOR THE WATER HEATER. ( EXPLOSION DANGER). THE CAR WAS PRESSURE TESTED AND WORKER SUGGESTED IT WAS AN ADDITIVE TO LAS VEGAS FUEL. MY CAR WAS SHOWING 3 BARS FILLED IN THE FUEL TANK. I FILLED THE TANK AND THE SMELL STOPPED. 2 WEEKS LATER THE SMELL IS BACK. TANK HAS BEEN FILLED AND YET THIS TIME THE SMELL HAS PERSISTED. APPARENTLY IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT WHAT THE FUEL LEVEL…

Our 2016 Honda HR-V experienced a significant issue when the fuel pump unexpectedly failed, causing the car to stall while driving uphill over an overpass. Thankfully, this incident occurred in town. It could have happened while driving on the interstate, which would have posed a severe safety risk to our family. We promptly had the Honda HR-V towed to our local Honda dealership for diagnosis and repair, where we were presented with a bill totaling over $900, including sales tax, for replacing the fuel pump. Upon further reflection, I am conc…

Owner report 11585162 · 2024-04-25 (April 25, 2024)

Whenever it is cold, 45 degrees or colder, the right front display goes black. This is the display that gives fuel in fuel tank amount, mileage, and rpm. The display stays black until the car heats up, and this can be as long a 20-30 minutes. This is a dangerous situation, because you do not know how much fuel is in your tank. Additionally, if it turns out that you have low fuel, you risk running out of gas and being stuck in cold weather. Other issues can occur as well. This problem is widely reported online, and Honda has apparently done noth…

The sun visor (Driver side) has become difficult to operate. Also, the sun visor does not close flush to the cabin roof. The sun visor is not operating as it should. I reached out to Honda but since there is no recall and this repair is outside of the warranty period, they will not make the repair at their cost. I do not want to purchase a new visor if Honda has not acknowledged the problem and made changes.

The CVT transmission, which is part of the vehicle’s powertrain system, experienced a premature failure. The vehicle became inoperable and was in an unsafe location, so the police had to tow it.

Our 2022 HR-V continues to have a problem with the windows fogging up after driving a few miles. This happens when it is very cold outside. (Below freezing) I have also had two incidents when the inside of the front windshield has had a thin layer of ice and I have had to scrap the inside before being able to drive. The front brakes seem to grab when first applied when wet or iced.

Within a few hundred miles, I began to experience issues with the car, felt the electrical problems and car felt shaky and unstable. As this continued, I’ve received a reminder from Honda about the three years of service and to schedule an appointment with a certified dealer. And I did, this is also when brought up the fact that I feel and experienc…

LAST WEEK I WAS GOING ABOUT 40-50 MPH AND MY DASH SAID THE GEAR WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A FEW PLACES AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS TOTALLY SHOT.

WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH WITH THE CRUISE SET I NOTICED THE VEHICLE START TO HEAVILY ACCELERATE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CRUISE OFF AND APPLIED THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE DID NO STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN AND IT STARTED JERKING AS IF THE BRAKE AND GAS WERE BEING PRESSED AT THE SAME TIME.

My car was in idle and suddenly all of these lights come on the dash board. The traction control light, brake system light, power steering light, the brake light, and the abs light. I was told that this was a abs module issue and the dealership haven't figured out how to remedy those that come in for this same issue.

While driving, the car engine started revving hard. Then, the power steering, vehicle stability assist, electric parking brake, check engine, and low tire pressure lights all came on. The vehicle became very sluggish and would start stuttering around 3k rpm or 40mph. The dealership said that the transmission needs to be replaced and that I am out of the 7-year / 150k mile extended warranty so it is going to cost $8,300. The vehicle has 100k miles on the odometer. This is very disappointing.

This happened after a period of heavy rain. When the vehicle was inspected by a Honda dealership, they found signs of long-term water intrusion and corrosion affecting electrical comp…
