Electrical System · reported Nov 11, 2026
Weâve 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 fact that we must restart the vehicle which then reboots the electronic…

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 obvious rock strike, chip, or impact point that would explain the damage. I am…
Electrical System · reported Nov 10, 2026
Vehicle: 2026 Honda CR-V EX â 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 status information, including tire pressure and oil-related information, through the…
Steering · reported Nov 9, 2026
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.
Engine · reported Nov 7, 2026
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 duplicate it, then later told me the problem was known for this vehicle. On…
