I ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND I WAS DRIVING UP A BRIDGE WHEN TRAFFIC CAME TO A SCREETCHING STOP. I SLAMMED ON MY BREAKS AND MY HR-V DID NOT SLOW DOWN AS IT SHOULD HAVE. I HAD A 2018 HONDA CIVIC FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE THIS AND THEY DRIVE IN A SIMILAR WAY. I ALSO HAVE DRIVEN OLD, HUGE, HEAVY TRUCKS AND SUVS FOR YEARS. I'VE EVEN DRIVEN ON ICE AND I LIVED IN ONE OF THE SNOWIEST PLACES ON EARTH (LITERALLY) AND HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE NOT STOP IN THIS WAY... I AM REALLY CONCERNED AND I GOT INTO MY FIRST ACCIDENT, EVER. AFTER HAVING THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 3 WEEKS.
MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS SEVERAL THAT ARE ALREADY LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE. SOMETIMES WHEN I BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATES AND TRIES TO TAKE OFF. I HAVE TO LET OFF THE BRAKE AND STOMP ON IT AGAIN AND I FEEL THAT THE ACCELERATOR LETS UP. SOMETIMES WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STARTS TO SPEED UP ON IT'S OWN. I'VE BEEN TOLD…

MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS SEVERAL THAT ARE ALREADY LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE. SOMETIMES WHEN I BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATES AND TRIES TO TAKE OFF. I HAVE TO LET OFF THE BRAKE AND STOMP ON IT AGAIN AND I FEEL THAT THE ACCELERATOR LETS UP. SOMETIMES WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR STARTS TO SPEED UP ON IT'S OWN. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY "CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM." I WAS TOLD BY ADRIAN FROM HONDA AMERICA " WE WILL DO NOTHING FOR YOU. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR IT ONLY HAD 3400 MILES ON IT SO IT WAS LIKE BRAND NEW. IT DOES IT MOST OF THE TIME WHEN DECELERATING FROM A HIGHER SPEED, LIKE COMING OFF THE FREEWAY AND SLOWING TO STOP AT THE LIGHT.
I HAVE A 2019 HR-V EX-L THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN OCTOBER OF 2019. ON 12/9/2020, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND I HEARD A LOUD POP.

I HAVE A 2019 HR-V EX-L THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN OCTOBER OF 2019. ON 12/9/2020, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND I HEARD A LOUD POP. I OPENED MY SUNROOF VISOR TO FIND THAT MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I CLOSED THE VISOR IMMEDIATELY, SO THAT GLASS WOULD NOT FALL ON ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I WAS BRINGING IT IN, AND TO ASK IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD NO. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A ROCK HAD HIT IT, AND THAT IS CONSIDERED A ROAD HAZARD, THEREFORE IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, SO I DID NOT THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR A ROCK TO HIT IT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK STRIKE, AND THE GLASS HAD ACTUALLY BROKEN IN A WAY THAT THE EDGES WERE RAISED UP FROM THE VEHICLE AND NOT DOWN, WHICH I WOULD ASSUME WOULD BE CONDUCIVE OF A ROCK STRIKE. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT SUNROOFS DON'T JUST SHATTER ON THEIR OWN, SO SOMETHING HAD TO HAVE HIT IT, AND THAT I SHOULD CLAIM IT ON MY INSURANCE. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED, I PICKED IT UP, AND PAID THE $1,053.45 BILL FOR THE SUNROOF REPLACEMENT OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE SINCE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS IN FACT, A SIGNIFICANT PRECEDENT FOR SUNROOFS SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERING. I FOUND MULTIPLE INSTANCES, SEVERAL RECALLS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS, AS WELL AS MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS BEING FILED FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION. ADDITIONALLY, I FOUND MULTIPLE ARTICLES AND QUOTES FROM GLASS PROFESSIONALS, AS WELL AS ENGINEERS, STATING THAT IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A ROCK THAT HAS BEEN KICKED UP FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE TO ACHIEVE ENOUGH VELOCITY TO SHATTER TEMPERED GLASS ON A HORIZONTAL PLANE. I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP, HOPING THEY REIMBURSE ME, BUT NO LUCK SO FAR.
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I EXPLAINED THAT I AM UNABLE TO BRING MY CAR THERE BECAUSE OF HEALTH RELATED REASONS AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALER IS OVER 50 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. I CAN ONLY DRIVE VERY LOCALLY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I EXPLAINED THAT I AM UNABLE TO BRING MY CAR THERE BECAUSE OF HEALTH RELATED REASONS AND THE FACT THAT THE DEALER IS OVER 50 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. I CAN ONLY DRIVE VERY LOCALLY. I ASKED THE DEALER TO SEND THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC`S REPAIR BUSINESS AND HAVE HIM INSTALL IT. I WAS TOLD IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THIS REPLACEMENT PART RECALL MAY ONLY BE DONE BY HONDA MECHANICS AT THEIR SERVICE CENTER. I EXPLAINED I AM UNABLE TO TRAVEL THERE AND HAVE DISABILITIES MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET THERE. NOBODY ELSE CAN HELP ME. I WAS TOLD THAT I MUST LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY DECISION AND THAT THE PART WILL NOT BE REPLACED. I AM LIVING IN FEAR EVERY TIME I HAVE TO USE MY CAR BECAUSE THE RECALL NOTICE WARNS THAT THIS FUEL PUMP DEFECT MUST BE REPLACED OR THERE EXISTS RISK OF A CRASH IF IT IS NOT REPLACED. PLEASE HELP ME! I DON`T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I AM ELDERLY AND SCARED.

07/06/2020- AROUND 12: 32 PM, MY CAR SUDDENLY DIDN'T WORK/STOPPED AS I'M ABOUT TO TURN LEFT ON AN INTERSECTION . THE STEERING WAS LOCKED. PRIOR TO THAT THE DASHBOARD GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING WARNING SIGNS: * BATTERY CHARGE WARNING LIGHT * CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM * BRAKES * ABS * TRACTION CONTROL OR ESP THIS SITUATION LED ME TO CALL THE POLICE, BECAUSE I'M IN THE FRONT MIDDLE LANE AND CAUSING OBSTRUCTION, AND CALL MY INSURANCE TO TOW MY CAR WHICH CAME AT AROUND 3:00 PM. STOPPING AND TOTALLY LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT A SIMPLE PROBLEM. IT IS A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION THAT HAPPENED TWICE IN AS LITTLE AS 3,000+ MILES OF DRIVING (AS MY ODOMETER INDICATED). I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE CAR RECALL MY CAR HAS, WHICH AT THAT TIME NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. ALSO, THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. MY CAR IS BRAND NEW. I WAS TRYING TO FILE FOR LEMON LAW, BUT THEY SAY ITS NOT APPLICABLE SINCE I HAVE WARRANTY. I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME LIGHT ON THIS SITUATION. I AM A FIRST TIME DRIVER, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS. I JUST WANT TO PRIORITIZE MY SAFETY. THANK YOU!

1PE22011 · Rear Differential Seizure
Opened Nov 28, 2022 · Closed Jul 22, 2024
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Power Train; Power Train:axle Assembly; Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft; Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft:seal; Power Train:driveline:differential Unit; Power Train:driveline:driveshaft
On November 29, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE 22-011 after reviewing field reports alleging rear differential seizure in 2018-2022MY Honda CR-V and HR-V vehicles equipped with all wheel drive. To date, ODI has not received any consumer complaints. Some of the field reports received alleged the vehicle’s wheels locked up with no warning while the vehicle was in motion. These vehicles were towed to a dealership. Examination of these vehicles showed the driveshaft had broken and the differential unit was completely damaged. The field reports cited a lack of oil due to damaged oil seals as the cause. Honda provided data including consumer complaints, field reports, and warranty claims they received relating to the loss of oil retention and resulting differential damage. Honda’s data cited 1201 incidents with unique vehicle identification numbers (VINs). The rear differential oil seals prevent the oil from leaking out and protect internal components from contaminants. A loss of oil lubrication results in failure of the vehicle differential. Honda stated that the oil seal’s lip contact with the driveshaft may become unstable due to intermittent changes in internal pressure. Their review of field report and warranty data indicated that these failures occurred early in the vehicle’s life thus the failures were covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Honda stated that in November 2021 they changed the seal specifications and improved the packaging process of the parts for transport. Honda also enacted an enhanced visual inspection process both before and after the oil seal installation on the assembly line. Honda stated that in the event of differential failure, the operator can control the vehicle without stability loss. After the drive shafts break due to differential failure, the operator will hear noises and the vehicle will still function as a 2WD vehicle preventing complete loss of motive power. Based on the following factors, ODI is closing this investigation: · Information regarding field failures does not indicate hazardous outcomes · The failures are occurring early in the life of the vehicle · Repairs are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty · The vehicle can continue functioning as a 2WD without loss of stability control in the event of failure The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist, and the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.

These vehicles were towed to a dealership. Examination of these vehicles showed the driveshaft had broken and the differential unit was completely damaged. The field reports cited a lack of oil due to damaged oil seals as the cause. Honda provided data including consumer complaints, field reports, and warranty claims they received relating to the loss of oil retention and resulting differential damage. Honda’s data cited 1201 incidents with unique vehicle identification numbers (VINs). The rear differential oil seals prevent the oil from leaking out and protect internal components from contaminants. A loss of oil lubrication results in failure of the vehicle differential. Honda stated that the oil seal’s lip contact with the driveshaft may become unstable due to intermittent changes in internal pressure. Their review of field report and warranty data indicated that these failures occurred early in the vehicle’s life thus the failures were covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Honda stated that in November 2021 they changed the seal specifications and improved the packaging process of the parts for transport. Honda also enacted an enhanced visual inspection process both before and after the oil seal installation on the assembly line. Honda stated that in the event of differential failure, the operator can control the vehicle without stability loss. After the drive shafts break due to differential failure, the operator will hear noises and the vehicle will still function as a 2WD vehicle preventing complete loss of motive power. Based on the following factors, ODI is closing this investigation: · Information regarding field failures does not indicate hazardous outcomes · The failures are occurring early in the life of the vehicle · Repairs are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty · The vehicle can continue functioning as a 2WD without loss of stability control in the event of failure The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist, and the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.
