What owners report

2026-10-21, Back Over Prevention
The vehicles back up warning system did not operate or alert the driver of a vehicle that was behind the car resulting in a minor collision while backing up.

2026-10-08, Vehicle Speed Control
While using Adaptive Cruise Control set to the longest following distance on open roads with no vehicle ahead, the car suddenly applies the brakes as if detecting an obstacle. This also occurs when vehicles pass on two-lane roads. The braking is unexpected and creates a risk of being rear-ended. The issue happens repeatedly under normal driving conditions.

2026-10-06, Steering
The front tires on this vehicle have suffered premature wear and are already 50% worn out at only 11,000 miles. Certified Tire Technicians at Town Fair Tire inspected the vehicle during my routine tire rotation. The technician confirmed this level of wear is highly abnormal for this mileage. There is a suspected steering alignment or front suspension defect from the factory causing the vehicle to drift and pull at highway speeds, creating a potential safety hazard and premature tire wear.

2026-09-23, Service Brakes
This car brakes at least once a week while using adaptive cruise control despite zero carsz people or anything at all being in front of me. It's extremely common and dangerous. Look on Honda forums on Facebook or I suspect anywhere else and you'll see. I had a 2023 Honda HRV and never had such issues. I don't know what they've changed but it's unsafe. They're going to literally kill someone.

2026-09-09, Steering
On 9/9/2026 and one other occasion within the past few months, the vehicle was started normally using the keyless ignition. The driver then disengaged the parking brake and shifted into Reverse. The vehicle began backing out a driveway when it was discovered that the steering remained locked despite the vehicle being in motion. The steering wheel could not be turned, indicating that the steering column lock mechanism failed to release after startup. It is believed that one or more dashboard indicators may have illuminated but no details are available. The driver immediately stopped the vehicle, shifted to Park, and powered the vehicle OFF. After restarting, the steering lock disengaged no
