The radar sensor on our Honda 2025 CR-V was stolen. It is apparently a very easy thing to do and has been rampant in many regions of the country. It takes about 30 seconds to take from the car, and costs thousands to replace. Honda has known about this for several years but has done nothing to fix the problem or help owners fix the problem. They did not tell us about the potential problem when we were buying the car. They have instructed their dealerships to NOT help customers solve the issue despite solutions available on the market from reputable companies. If one tries to go this route, Honda will void the warranty on the sensor. I'm reporting this to hopefully put some pressure on Honda to remedy this situation for all of us victims.

I am not the owner of a 2024 or 2025 Honda CR-V but I am regularly blinded by their new dual low beam LED headlamps on the road. These lamps are shockingly bright and exceed the glare of some other vehicles with high beams on. I suspect the beam pattern of these lamps is poorly designed and can blind other motorists either in an oncoming traffic flow or when the CR-V driver is following a vehicle and blinding them via rear view and side view mirrors. Photo attached of example headlamps and comments from CRV owners acknowledging they glare oncoming drivers.

I was driving to the mailbox today and the car revved forward and the steering became hard to control and steer. This is the second incident. When I originally reported to the Supervisong Service agent at my Honda of Katy, Mr. John Kasimoff, he dismissed it since the "check engine light" did not turn off. He and the staff at Honda of Katy discouraged me from bringing in the car. I am afraid to drive the car in Texas. A car is necessary for my livelihood and to get around. Food shopping and to buy simple basic necessities require an automobile and can no longer afford taking Ubers and depend on the kindness of friends to assist me with deliveries and other transportation. The recall came merely days after purchasing my new car and it's suspect to me that no one at the dealership was unaware of ongoing issues when they keep contacting me about purchasing. Honda has yet to send information on when a possible solution for parts and service to my vehicle. They referred me to the Honda of Katy dealership but the dealership is referring me back to Honda Automotive. I need assistance because I want repairs and a full diagnostic made to my Honda CR-V hybrid Sport without any more delays.

Our CRV hybrid is experiencing the sticking steering wheel issue. It takes force to move the steering wheel at freeway speeds. It is not included in the recall but clearly has the issue. Our local Honda service dealer blew us off and is unwilling to help.
