My Car Loosing Power The screen is black there is nothing showing on the dashboard this has been happening since August 2025 The SUV accelerate while I am driving or braking even when all of the lane changing and braking systems are turn off this happens often whenever I am driving the vehicle.

The contact owned a 2023 Honda HR-V. The contact stated that while was driving at 20 MPH, while depressing the accelerator pedal, the brakes engaged independently, and while attempting to depress the accelerator pedal again, a bystander collided with the rear driver side corner of the vehicle. The air bag did deploy. The vehicle was still drivable. The contact mentioned she was making a left turn while crossing over two lanes. No warning lights illuminated. The contact stated she did not sustain any injuries. No medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
While driving the CBMS was activated and my car came to a complete stop even though no cars were in front of me. It stopped my car in an intersection and a car was coming behind me
Had just parked my car at work and suddenly the back windshield shatters with a huge bam! Sounded like a gun shot. I called the police and they say it had to of spontaneously shattered with no previous damage. It was terrifying
steering is sticky. causes erratic steering especially at highway speeds. dealer inspected an stated it was normal. no lights or warnings. we feel its unsafe and sold it back to the dealer.
Almost all advanced safety features have stopped working including the ones selected and still others more such as lane keep assist, parking collision warning etc.
My rear Window completely shattered, the car was on and in a complete stop. No trauma no force, it randomly just broke. It is now in the shop, estimating to be in the shop for about a month because of back order parts.
The car feels like the lane assist is on when its not. When you try to steer it jerks instead of smoothly turning especially on the highway when steering to the left. I feel it’s getting worse.
Steering wheel sticks. Need to jerk it out of a what seems like a locked position when driving. Steering wheel jerks while making a clicking sound.
Back glass shattered while sitting in driveway. 2023 Honda HR-V
I have a 2023 HR-V 5DR 2WD EX-L 5800K miles - bought 3/18/2023 Took my vehicle into my dealership to let them know I am having an issue with my steering as it sticks and then jerks when driving at any speed.
Purchased HRV new and at approximately 3900 miles all warning system lights starting flashing while I was driving. Took car home and checked oil and there was NONE at all. Put oil in and took to dealership who found the Honda manufacturer had not installed the oil filter properly and the car had sprayed oil across the undercarriage of the car while I was on the interstate. If the car had locked up while driving 70 mph due to no oil, my father, brother, and I would have been killed and may have injured/killed someone else. Since getting oil filter installed correctly and oil in the car, the Collision and lane departure warnings continue to display periodically at the initial starting of the car saying the those systems have issues and to see the dealership. I have taken car to the dealership 3 times and once they connected it to a diagnostic machine which said "I had a code" and those codes were supposedly corrected, but the same warnings remain. It is not reproduceable and I have not been able to capture a pic of the occurrance. I believe running out of oil has damaged the warning systems and needs to be replaced or Honda should provide me a new car for my current car (10,700 miles).
I have steering issues and it is worse in the colder weather. Like sticky steering. I noticed it soon after I bought the car and then it seemed to go away but now steering is weird all the time and I only have 9,000 miles on the car.
The steering is sticking and jerky without the lane assist, especially when it's cold out. Instead of normal smooth steering correction while driving, it builds up pressure while trying to correct, then it feels like a slip, then a jerk. It makes me feel very unsafe and I always now have to have a firm grip on the wheel
I turned the corner into a parking space at a local business. When I was turning into the parking space, my foot was hovering over the left floor peddle (the break). All of a sudden, the vehicle lunged forward while my foot was still hovering over the break. During the incident, my foot did not touch the gas pedal when the car was accelerating towards the store window. I quickly firmly stepped on the brake when the car began to accelerate. The car went over the concrete parking stop, onto the sidewalk, crashing into the windows of the establishment. I nor any of the other patrons of the establishment were injured. Also to be noted, neither the forward collision, parking collision or automatic emergency breaking took effect. Police arrived on scene. A report was made. After the incident, the vehicle was towed away to a local Honda dealer in order for the vehicle to be assessed.
The warning signs popped up with those 2 safety features and said “see your dealer”, I took to the dealer and there was “nothing wrong”. On the dashboard warnings started to flash “Brake” with nothing in it view and has ATTEMPTED to even brake by itself with nothing in front of it or anything that could affect it. I then still had the 2 warning safety features pop up also so I took to the dealer for a second time and they said there was a problem with the battery and replaced it under warranty. The car was brand new and I had it for 6 months. After battery replacement that same week the car shut off TWICE by itself. The 6 months of owning the vehicle it has NEVER done that mind you I’ve waited about 30 minutes a day for my daughter in the school pickup line and it has never once turned off. I took to the dealer and they said “nothing” was wrong with it. They said the vehicle kept coming out as cleared.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
