2026 Honda CR-V Problems, complaints & recalls

We've made numerous attempts to have this issue addressed and resolved. Honda Corporate Customer Service and local dealerships are unable to resolve the issues. The infotainment system, Apple CarPlay , Android Auto , Siri are cut out at times. This leaves the system completely unresponsive and unable to communicate properly via Siri. The maps and messages are inaccessible while connected through the system. The monitor goes black and reboots while driving. This has caused us to pull over multiple times ; due to the...

Vehicle: 2026 Honda CR-V EX - Suspected Electronic Safety Defect Since purchasing my 2026 Honda CR-V EX in March 2026, I have experienced repeated electronic system malfunctions while driving. The infotainment display intermittently freezes or turns completely black, including during nighttime driving. When this occurs, the left portion of the driver information center also becomes unresponsive, and steering wheel controls used to navigate vehicle information stop functioning. I cannot access certain vehicle...

Vehicle: 2026 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid Component: Visibility / Windshield Glass Manufacturer: American Honda Motor Co. I am submitting this complaint regarding a windshield crack on my 2026 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid. The windshield developed a long, thin crack extending across the lower passenger-side portion of the windshield toward the edge. The crack appears to be a single, continuous fracture rather than a spiderweb pattern typically associated with a direct rock impact. I have not identified an...

Lately the car has been giving steering issues. Every time I am on the highway with curves the steering wheel does not automatically come back to the center as it should. It gets sticky and struggles to come back to the center which is extremely dangerous and can cause a serious accident. I went to the dealership and they diagnosed it and found nothing but still after the same issue is there. This needs to be solved as soon as possible because it will eventually get people seriously injured or even death.

I am the lessee of a 2026 Honda CR-V with approx. 7310 miles. Since early in the lease, the infotainment display has repeatedly frozen, glitched, and gone completely black, mostly on longer drives. When this happens while driving, I lose access to navigation. I have a video recording of one of the failures. I have also noticed an oil leak, documented with photos, which the dealer has not found or repaired. I first reported the infotainment problem to Visalia Honda on 9.21.26; the dealer kept the car and could not...

I was parking my car at my condo and it suddenly accelerated and I could not stop it. Ran into my neighbors bushes and porch thing that holds roof up

When using the windshield washer function to clean windshield glass to improve visibility, the liquid does not squirt out of the driver side wiper until it is halfway through its travel. This results in the windshield not being cleaned properly and results is dangerous visibility issues. This is especially dangerous in warm weather months with bug residue smearing across the windshield due to improper fluid application. It is also dangerous in the winter months when vehicles ahead of you are spraying slush and road salt onto your windshield.

Left windshield wiper does not clear rain or snow all the way to the edge of the windshield. For rain, it stops approximately 4" from the edge. During heavy rain and/or wind conditions, it is even worse. For snow and sleet, it stops 5 to 6 inches from the edge due to buildup of snow or sleet. This results in a dangerous visibility safety issue during rain or snow driving conditions. This appears to be a safety related design defect.

The entire infotainment system goes into restart for no apparent reason. The problem progresses until the system shuts down completely, making it impossible to use the backup camera and creating a safety risk. Restarting the car does not clear the problem. However, thus far, ietting the car sit a few hours seems to clear it. The system has been factory reset multiple times, but the problem recurs. I have asked for a fix from both Honda Dealers and Honda Customer Care. Honda does not acknowledge the issue, even though the problem is widely known and reported on internet forums.

I purchased this vehicle new on July 25, 2026. In roughly three months of ownership, the windshield has been damaged three times by small road debris during normal highway driving. The first damage was repaired by Safelite through my insurer. The second and third occurred within weeks of that repair. During the most recent inspection, Safelite also identified additional cracks along the perimeter of the windshield that had not been noticed and did not appear to originate from a visible impact. My previous vehicle,...

During recent weeks from mid August till now the AHB- Automatic HighBeam System DOES NOT function properly or display faulty information on the dashboard. Typically when a feature is either improperly working or temporarily unavailable it will display the information on the dashboard with the image/ feature in Amber/Yellow. Lately the system does not display any messages or feedback to the driver. During mornings and evenings the vehicle must be pulled off the road and we have to manually reset the system via...

While driving I heard a loud noise that sounded like a gun shot followed by the sunroofs glass shattering into small pieces.

When using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to connect to the car's infotainment system to view maps and navigation instructions, the system periodically goes dark for a variable length of time. While it will often restart on its own, on occasion the driver must interact with the system to relaunch the navigation screen. During the outage, the loss of navigation instructions is a safety hazard as it forces the driver to turn their attention away from the road. The car dealer has acknowledged this is a known...

The infotainment system keeps rebooting while driving. This causes AppleMaps to disappear and leave the monitor blank. This causes safety issues for drivers who depend on the system for directions and guidance. Siri also disconnects and is unable to communicate properly. The backup camera also has a 3-7 sec delay in displaying the surroundings.

I am reporting a potential windshield safety defect involving my 2026 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, leased new on June 30, 2026. Within approximately four months, I experienced two separate windshield cracks, both developing near the edges of the glass. The original factory-installed windshield developed a crack near its edge and was replaced by Safelite through Progressive Insurance in September 2026. Approximately six weeks later, the aftermarket replacement windshield also developed a crack near its edge. I did not...

After receiving my recall notice from Honda a few months ago to replace the Flat Tire Repair kit, NHTSA ID Number: 26V663000. I have been constantly contacting area Honda dealerships about this recall. They continue to report that Honda has no repair parts available and no expected date for parts. As a disabled senior citizen, this leaves me venerable if I should have a flat tire and waiting alone in my vehicle for help. Has Honda issued any further updates on when they will correct this recall?

My NEW 2026 Honda CRV windshield wiper washers has a manufacturer defect. The passenger side wiper wash will not engage until the wiper is mid-Windshield leaving the passenger side windshield untouched by washer fluid . This leaves the right windshield with impaired vision causing and safety hazard. I took my car to Honda Clear Lake Dealership and they said it's a manufactured defect and are unable to repair. This creates an unsafe condition with very low visibility. Thank you [[redacted]] [[redacted]] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was pulling in (slowly, forward, to the right) into a parking space when my 2026 CRV Sport Hybrid seemed to accelerate and jolt forward. I was not accelerating. My foot was on the brake pedal, coming to a slow stop. I had to slam on the break to avoid hitting another parked vehicle. This incident left me extremely frightened and very concerned about the safety of the vehicle. Prior to this, there were no warning lamps, messages, or anything to make me think that something might be wrong with my car. We will be...

On [redacted] our 2026 Honda CRV Hybrid had a sudden unintended acceleration ending in a collision with a tree. The car was in a low speed and being parked in a parking lot. While slowing down or decelerating, the CRV surged forward. The collision repairs cost approximately 15,000.

State Farm sent a tow truck and our CRV was...
