2024 Honda HR-V

My car has been brought in for service multiple times due to airbag issues. After the initial repair resembling of the car panels was not done correctly forcing me to bring back the vehicle. After this on another occasional a strange rattling noise began to happen while driving the vehicle. This was scheduled for service but then the noise went away. After this another airbag issue came up saying the vehicle had to be taken to the dealer. The dealer was inititally saying the issue could not be duplicated and I could pick up the vehicle. At this point I looked up recalls and found the recall regarding steering and that noises could be attributed to this. I ask the recall be performed and was told it could not be. Another issue was however found with the airbags and repaired. I was told to get vehicle as it was fine. Since then the noise has occurred on 3 seperate occasions. Additionally while driving with lane control the vehicle has 2 twice left lane on highway forcing me to correct. I feel things are being dealt with in a very dishonest way by Honda of America and it is instructing dealers to avoid correctly diagnoising issues and falsling claiming it cannot be duplicated to avoid itself costly repairs.

While on cruise control on the freeway, car suddenly decelerated 20+ MPH. There was nothing ahead of me on the road at the time, no cars, no debris or construction materials, nothing. I was nearly rear ended. Car has not been inspected yet. Many alerts go off on the dash for unexplained reasons - that various safety mitigation systems are offline due to debris on windshield for example, when the windshield is totally clean. But there were no alerts prior to this deceleration at all. Drivers side speaker shorts out intermittently. Car is available for inspection on request. I haven't used cruise control since this incident.

On the 2024 HRV LX the unlock button on fob unlocks all doors at the same time when you press the unlock button once. It should only unlock the driver’s door when you press it once and should unlock all doors when you press it twice. The car manual itself states this should be the default setting however it is not. This is basic safety feature that has been used on most vehicles for last 10 plus years Honda included so it doesn’t seem feasible they would suddenly remove it. This was an oversight and a dangerous one!

I am reporting a major steering issue with my relatively new 2024 Honda HR-V, of which I’ve been driving since September of 2023. I recently started noticing jolting in my steering wheel when making even a slight turn, such as to adjust my positioning in a highway lane. It can best be described as “sticky steering,” and based on recent research I found reports of other Honda consumers complaining about this exact issue. According to this article [XXX] ) it appears to have something to do with a defective steering gear part. This is extremely dangerous to my safety and makes me extremely upset that this is occurring in a practically brand new vehicle. Please help and have Honda do their part in rectifying the problem.

Bought 5/28/24 a little over 2k miles on it. Noticed paint changing color on 8/3 at night when raining. Next morning the speckles of paint that the rain drops hit that were white disappeared. That night I was also frayed because there had been this foggy what looked like water stains on my windshield that the wipers weren’t cleaning off everytime it rained. Thought it was my windshield wipers or something I was doing with the condensation in the air when it rains. 8/8 downpour all day and my Car panel is completely white and in The morning it was gone. Contacted Mohawk Honda and said come there or go to nearest certified dealer ( I live 4 1/2 hours away from my home town where I bought it) went to nearest dealership they reviewed it and said It’s environmental or someone painted it but Honda has no record of it being repainted. They said it wasn’t covered under warranty and to call my insurance. I went there with pictures of other cars with the same year and model That posted pictures of their car paint doing the same thing and they said those cars could have been in a parking lot and someone threw battery acid on them. My issue is a safety issue because I have it on both windshield and panel Of car and on the windshield it is invisible until it rains and becomes Dangerous on highway when rain it hitting the windshield and wipers Are not able to take off the hard water stain like film on it. Corporate said the dealerships are privately owned and they Don’t always work together. Mohawk Honda(scotia ny) wanted piazza honda (Philadelphia) to repaint my body and they Would buff my windshield. Corporate was nice but nice doesn’t save lives. They said no one likes a finger pointed at them and gave Me specific instructions when I go to Mohawk Honda to find out why regional managers decided it was vandalised. As a new car owner with a warranty I shouldn’t have to go through this and I have to drive with defect windshield for two weeks and my Paint is still defect
