Most Common Problems with the 2022 Honda CR-V
A total of 13 components and systems feature in complaints filed with the National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) by owners of 2022 Honda CR-Vs. There are 27 complaints as of mid-November 2022. Problems with the brakes and the automatic emergency braking system are the topic of more than half of these, with 11 complaints filed under the Forward Collision Avoidance category, 2 under Vehicle Speed Control, and 1 each under Equipment and Service Brakes.
Lane departure, powertrain, and structural issues are also high on the list of complaint topics. Even though there are only 2 complaints to the NHTSA about the electrical system, it’s worth mentioning. One incident describes how a minor crash resulted in a 2022 Honda CR-V catching alight. The fire then spread quickly to the owner’s home!
Other issues are varied. One particularly notable incident happened in Utah when a passenger window spontaneously imploded with no impact. One person was injured, emerging from the experience with cuts on his hands.
Faulty Brakes
If motor vehicle brakes are faulty in any way, there’s a potential risk of a crash. In the event of a crash, there is a high risk of injury, not only to those in the vehicle but also to those traveling in nearby vehicles and even pedestrians. While the complaints about faulty brakes to the NHTSA are varied, the primary concern is that there are so many of them.
The most common complaints are that the Honda CR-V brakes unexpectedly. But then, there’s a complaint that the automatic emergency braking system didn’t kick in when needed, resulting in a crash. Another complaint states that on multiple occasions the SUV brakes unexpectedly, sometimes suddenly accelerating back up to the “set speed.”
Another complaint describes how a driver put her foot on the brake pedal while parking and “the vehicle unexpectedly revved and lurched forward.” It then “jumped the parking curb and crashed into a wall.” A similar complaint states: “Brakes are applied at a slow and fast speed for no reason.”
There are also more specific problems with the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Brakes Deploy for No Reason
An owner from New York, describing what “could have been a life-threatening disaster,” explains how the brakes deployed suddenly, without any warning. There were no cars in front or behind. “I was not injured but very shaken up.”
This complaint from a North Carolina owner is short, but not very sweet: “I have a 2022 Honda CRV EX, the emergency braking system activates at random times and could cause a wreck.”
Brake System Failures
An owner from South Carolina explains how “an idiotic warning message,” Adaptive Cruise Control Problem flashed, followed by “BRAKE SYSTEM.” Turning off Adaptive Cruise Control didn’t solve the problem. Although the dealer didn’t know what the problem was, he said it was safe to drive the SUV. Later, they guessed it was the front radar/camera that needed to be replaced. But they didn’t have one, and months later they still hadn’t sourced one. In the meantime, the owner says, “ I am now forced to drive a car that is questionably safe. I mean, when an alarm sounds and a warning light flashes that says ‘BRAKE SYSTEM’ how can it be safe to drive?”
A West Virginia owner reports getting messages stating there is a problem with the CMBS. He too was told that there is a problem with the radar/camera system and that it is safe to drive until the parts arrive. This owner states: “I am afraid that it will brake when it shouldn’t and cause an accident.”
An owner from New Jersey states: “There were no cars in front of mine when the ABS system suddenly braked very hard. The car behind me had to slam on brakes to avoid rear-ending me. This car is 3 weeks old and this is very scary.”
Powertrain Issues
Problems with the powertrain include the failure of the transmission in a very new CR-V with only 1971 miles on the clock. The failure is covered under Honda’s warranty but the owner of this vehicle is more concerned about safety. Because there was no warning or notification about transmission issues, “I can’t imagine if the power is getting dropped and stopped on the freeway without any warning. This is one of the biggest safety concerns and this would be a life-threatening incident.”
There are also 2 complaints that report problems while reversing.
An owner from New York states: “When I tried to reverse the car went forward. I put the car in park and tried to reverse again. The car went forward again.” He tried one more time and the car went forward while in reverse. “I shut the car off and gave it a few minutes. I turned it back on and tried one more time and the car finally reversed. R was indicated on the dashboard and the reverse camera was on while the car was driving forward.”
The wife of an owner from Wisconsin heard a loud noise while she was reversing. Four driveshaft bolts had detached from the vehicle. She was able to drive the vehicle home safely and the vehicle was repaired by the dealership.
Incredibly, the cause was “the front section of the driveshaft was not properly tightened. The bolts were replaced.”
Problems with the Electrical System
All modern cars should be equipped with highly-effective electrical systems, not just for safety but also for convenience and entertainment. When there are electrical problems, these can spell danger.
One of the electrical issues owners of the 2022 Honda CR-V are complaining about is a malfunction with the front camera radar. A couple of the brake-related complaints mentioned above involve this. But an owner from Colorado, whose CR-V had only 2,000 miles on the clock, didn’t have brake issues.
Instead, “while driving (at) 40 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer stated that the front camera radar needed to be replaced.”
Like the other owners with camera radar problems, this owner also faced a delay in getting the parts required for the fix.
Electric System Causes Fire
Another, hopefully, less common problem, was experienced by someone in New Jersey. According to the complaint, his father bought the car because it “was deemed as one of the safest cars on the market.” The story is hair-raising.
“When I was slowly backing out of my garage, I noticed that my car was not straight and that I needed to turn my wheel in order to straighten it out. When doing so, 3/4 of my car made it out of the garage, even the side mirrors. However, the area on the top left on my wheel scratched the side of my garage.” The worst he expected was chipped paint and a minor dent.
“But when I got out of the car to assess the situation I noticed that smoke started releasing out of the area of the impact. By the time I called my dad, a little fire was also present at the area of the impact. He advised me to go inside the house and use water or other resources in order to try putting out the fire myself. So I went inside and by the time I got back, the fire had greatly increased in size. This all happened in a matter of 2 minutes! I quickly called 911 and 2 police cars came as soon as possible. The officers tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher,” but were unable to. The flames were already up the sides of the garage and engulfing some of the sidings.
“How can a scratch of 2-inch depth, 4-inch width, and 6-inch height cause immense damage to a car and a house! Honda needs to consider this when reviewing the architectural design of its battery position. This is a serious safety flaw that could jeopardize many lives.”

| Description | The contact owns a 2022 honda cr-v. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, an abnormal, knocking noise was coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that the oil level was low. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure due to a lack of engine oil. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000. |

| Date | Feb 10, 2023 |
| State | MI |
| Description | The car intermittently slams on the brakes, often at high speeds, and the brakes sticks, leaving me potentially unable to avoid a rear-end collision. This has happened twice with no obstacle in front of the vehicle in the last month and once within the last month where an obstacle was ahead but at a far enough distance the aes should not have been triggered, let alone stick. The front sensors (behind the rear view mirror and behind the honda logo on the grill) have been inspected for damage by the dealership and user. They are in perceivably good working condition. This problem appears to be connected to a similar malfunction with lkas, in which the system is turned off (according to the vehicle displays and verified by following owner manual instructions) and the car is driven on a surface with no lanes (I. E. A dirt road) and lkas indicates there is a lane departure. There is no option to turn either system completely off, which leaves the driver with no recourse in the event these systems malfunction. |

| Description | While driving with a passenger across salt lake city on I-15 yesterday, going the speed limit and no surrounding vehicles, the passenger window imploded into a million tiny pieces sending glass all over the passenger and even as far as the driver (me). We did not see any evidence of a rock or other object hitting the window and there wasn't anything unusual inside the car. The outside temperature was 30 degrees and the car had been in a heated garage all night. The passenger had cuts on his hands, but he was wearing sun glasses which protected his eyes. He had glass pieces all over him. I honestly believe this was a spontaneous event, but I suppose there is a remote chance that a rock could have hit the window. But there weren't any cars in the area or overpasses. |

| Description | In april 2022, my dad purchased a brand new honda crv 2022 hybrid touring edition. This car was deemed as one of the safest cars on the market and was his main intent while buying it. A couple of weeks ago this car was the prime suspect of a fire that impacted both the car and our house. Let me break down exactly how this occurred and where the blame should fall on this situation. When I was slowly backing out of my garage, I noticed that my car was not straight and that I needed to turn my wheel in order to straighten it out. When doing so, 3/4 of my car made it out of the garage, even the side mirrors. However, the area on the top left on my wheel scratched the side of my garage. When this occurred, I did not think much of it since scratching cars is not that uncommon, especially when reversing. The worst that is expected to happen is chipping of the paint and a minor dent. But when I got out of the car to access the situation I noticed that smoke started releasing out of the area of the impact. By the time I called my dad, a little fire was also present at the area of the impact. He advised me to go inside the house and use water or other resources in order to try putting out the fire myself. So I went inside and by the time I got back, the fire had greatly increased in size. This all happened in a matter of 2 minutes! I quickly called 911 and 2 police cars came as soon as possible. The officers tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher but there was no luck. The flames have already started making its way up the side of the garage and engulfing some of the sidings. After a while, the fire department put out the fire. How can a scratch of 2-inch depth, 4-inch width, and 6-inch height cause immense damage to a car and a house! Honda needs to consider this when reviewing the architectural design of its battery position. This is a serious safety flaw that could jeopardize many lives. I was grateful that the fire did not impact me but I fear for others. |

| Description | The car started sounding an alarm and flashing an idiotic warning message that says "adaptive cruise control problem". Yes it said "problem." it also flashed a message that said "brake system." I called the dealer and they instructed me how to turn off adaptive cruise control, and it did not stop the alarm and the flashing messages. They told me it was ok to drive and to bring it in to the dealer. I did that. Had to get ride so I could leave the car. The alarm stopped on the way to the dealer. The next day they told me they could not find what was wrong with the car, but it was ok to drive, and it if happened again, take a video. If they didn't know what was wrong with the car, how did they know it was safe to drive? I picked up the car and a couple days later it did the same thing. Even turning the car off and cranking it back up would not make it stop. I did stop and take videos of the flashing messages, which are attached here, and also sent them to the dealer. I took the car in and they said they got the videos, and they would now be able to fix it. The next day they said come pick it up, but said they thought it needed the front radar/camera replaced but they did not have one. They said it would be july before they could get the part. But they continued to say it is safe to drive. Since then, it had done this several more times, and I took videos again. Those are attached as well. They called today and said it would be august before they could get the parts. I strongly suspect that they do not actually know what it wrong, and that they have not done any actual microelectronic or software troubleshooting, and they are just guessing that this part will fix it. I am now forced to drive a car that is questionably safe. I mean, when an alarm sounds and a warning light flashes that says "brake system" how can it be safe to drive? |

| Description | I purchased a new honda cr-v exl awd in jan 2022 and it has only 1971 miles. Now, the transmission is completely dead with these miles. The dealership informed me that this requires a new transmission which is covered under honda warranty. The strange thing is that I didn't receive any warning or notification in my dashboard that transmission is getting bad/worse. Luckily, the car was stopped on a residential county road but I can't imagine if the power is getting dropped and stopped on the freeway without any warning. This is one of the biggest safety concerns and this would be a life threatening incident. I have already owned a honda civic in the past and never had any issue, but I was highly disappointed with this incident and lost confidence with honda. Please refund my money back 🙁 what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request ? Ans: transmission failed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Ans: the transmission failed without any warning and the vehicle stopped completely on the road, which is a life threatening issue, if that happens on the freeway/highways. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? ans: unknown has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Ans: this is a brand new vehicle which was bought in jan 2022 and has 1971 miles on it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Ans: no warning or indications. |

| Description | I just bought (last month) a new, 2022 honda cr-v-ex-l. I have always been a honda girl, and decided it was time for a new car and bought another honda….. My 3rd cr-v (I also had a pilot). Anyways, I just bought this car last month. It is a beautiful car, but I feel it's dangerous for two reasons. The biggest concern is that the hood was redesigned from previous models that I had, and now the sides of the hood protrudes higher than the rest of the hood, making it quite difficult to see over the hood, particularly going around turns and up hills. Which is a huge safety issue. And you may be thinking, why don't I just lift the seat……well the seat is as high as it goes (a definite flaw), so that is of no help. Secondly, the audio system is definitely a hazard. The touch screen does not always work, and you may have to push on the screen several times before getting it to work, thus distracting the driver. Additionally, when talking to people on bluetooth and one party hangs up, the phone does not go back to the radio automatically, and you have to keep touching the touchscreen to get you back to what you were on prior to the call. Definitely another safety issue. That being said, I am mostly worried about the hood issue. I do not feel safe continuing to drive my brand new honda, which is really sad, since I buy honda's because of their safety ratings. If this is an issue for me, I am sure this an issue for others, and likely has already contributed to accidents. Thank-you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |

| Description | There were no cars in front of mine when the abs system suddenly braked very hard. The car behind me had to slam on brakes to avoid rear ending me. This car is 3 weeks old and this is very scary. |

| Description | I was going south bound up a hill. Less then 20 mph and was blinded by the sun. The old folks in front of me were also blinded by the sun and stopped in the middle of the hill. My automatic emergency braking system did not kick in and I ran right into them. We could have been hurt. My car is being fixed in a collision repair shop now. |

| Description | The heating system on the vehicle is insufficient. The cabin does not warm up when idling in the winter. Defrosting on cold days becomes an issue which creates a potential hazard for visibility. The red bar on the temperature guage will not appear when idling and the temperature rises and the red bar appears only after the car has been driven. Searching online on this issue indicates this is an issue where many crv owners have had this weak heating system issue. I contacted the dealer and they said "yes we are aware of that. And that's the way it is and nothing can be done about it." so there appears to be no intent by honda to address this weak heating system issue which is a big problem in winter weather. Thus my filing this complaint. Honda should perform a recall and correct this problem. |

I bought New Honda CR V 2022 model. As stated here , the engine makes bit noise when accelerating from stop. I loved the Honda cars for their quite running once. Now, I hate this vehicle. Please guide me if there is any way I can get rid of it.
Bought 2022 Honda CR-V on 3/17/2022, six days later the car would not start. The car was taken to Honda dealership and no issues were found. One week later the same issue ensued along with grainy backup camera. Car was then taken back to Honda dealership, this time they found an issue with the ignition system.
I am very disappointed and disgusted with the whole buying experience.
Bought 2022 CR-V on 12/23/21, paid $38K cash for the vehicle ((13K trade-in). AIS technology worked for 2 days, took in to dealership and they essentially said weather was too cold, battery up front and engine doesn’t get warm enough for AIS to work. At no point during my conversation with sales was this mentioned. Took a road trip to Indianapolis (260 round trip) mid-January 2022. On interstate and used ECON mode to better mileage. Interestingly enough, the AIS worked at two stop lights in 20-degree temp (Indiana). Did not get better mileage, same as in-town driving, and AIS stopped working after it worked for 2 stoplights. Took into dealership 1/21/22 and service dept got it to work. Took a drive with service Mgr and AIS worked twice. Left to come home and AIS didn’t continue to work. Notified service mgr and he didn’t want to assume any responsibility for this malfunction. So, I went online and found a “Honda cr-v consumer site.” The thread was from 2020 and the AIS was a problem with cr-v’s since that time (mgr denied anyone having problems with this to his knowledge). In the thread there were several suggestions with no real solution mentioned. I forwarded the thread to the mgr, who was “fascinated and found info interesting). There was a suggestion by one person in the thread to follow a regimen that includes letting engine warm-up, pull over, stay in car with seat belt on, stop car and release hood, restart with seat belt on and make sure “hood release up” is showing before shutting car off, getting out of car and shutting hood, return to car, fasten seat belt, restart and take off = AIS will work. I did this and AIS did work from 2/22/22 until3/8/22. Once again, I followed the regimen from the 2020 thread and my AIS is working now. Emailed service Mgr this info and shared I am a 70yo female who paid cash for a 2022 Honda CR-V and I expect it to perform according to sale expectations. If it can’t be fixed, I want a new car that has working AIS tech (as advertised), down-grade to lesser model with cash reimbursement for the difference or give me my money back so I can purchase a fuel-efficient car.
