2024 HONDA CR-V Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle and turning the steering wheel to the right or the left, the messages "Road Departure Mitigation System Problem - Please See Your Dealer" and "Lane Keeping Assist Problem - See Your Dealer" were displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the failure occurred two weeks after the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 750.

Since purchasing over a year ago Recurring failure of the rear-view backup camera system, resulting in a black and white image, coupled with dangerous malfunctions of the integrated Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (RCTM) system. Detailed Description of Safety Hazard The backup camera image repeatedly reverts from color to black and white, making it significantly harder to distinguish critical objects like pedestrians, curbs, and other vehicles, especially in low-light conditions. Crucially, this malfunction is directly affecting the vehicle's active safety systems: 1. Failure to Detect Cross Traffic: The Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (RCTM) often fails to warn of approaching vehicles, pedestrians, or objects when backing out of a parking space. This eliminates a vital safety feature and creates a high risk of a back-over collision. 2. False Cross Traffic Warnings & Unintended Braking: The system also frequently provides false warnings for non-existent cross traffic, which can cause the vehicle to momentarily lock the brakes up (Auto-Brake) without driver input. This sudden and unintended stopping during a maneuver is unpredictable, startling, and poses a risk of creating an accident, especially if a vehicle is maneuvering behind me. The system was previously serviced, including camera replacement, but the issue returned within a few weeks. This recurring failure presents a serious and ongoing safety defect that requires immediate repair of the core system components (likely the infotainment unit or wiring harness) to restore both the image and the reliability of the safety sensors.

Driver of the vehicle was traveling about 50 miles per hour, Multiple warning notices appeared on the dashboard ranging from Vehicle Stability Assist System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System problem, All Wheel Drive System Problem, Electronic Power Steering Problem, Electric Parking Brake System Problem, Brake System Problem, etc., approximately 16 error messages. The front end wobbled, Brakes were mushy, Steering was difficult as if the power steering ceased working. Was able to safely pull off the road. Vehicle was towed to dealer for diagnosis and repair. Dealer pulled codes from the ODB port and it displayed multiple warnings. See attached list of codes from the Dealer Dealer checked multiple systems but was unable to diagnose the cause. Dealer re-set the codes and sent the car home. This could have been a significant safety issue if the event had occurred under different circumstances. Request investigation into Honda to determine if this issue has occurred elsewhere, determined a root cause, and if the manufacturer needs to issue a recall for all affected vehicles.

The rear view camera display keeps switching from color to black&white mode during parking operations. This happens even during good weather where there is plenty of light out and no reason for it to switch to low visibility or nighttime mode. The car dealer said there was no fix for this. This behavior began shortly after purchase and has continued to occur since then.

I have had to go to Honda numerous times for the same thing. They are chalking it up to its a CVT engine. It seems to incur after going in reverse and other times it just starts sounding louder in its spin and the rpm is not at normal intervals because it’s almost like a gear shifting mode like it’s stuck in low gear. Also when it becomes sluggish it feels like an engine part is spinning on air versus using gas and oil. Like if the engine is going to shut off mode as I try accelerating and then cars are passing me by. The speedometer is showing one number but the movement of the car here is a lower number. at the same moment the rpm needle bounces around too. Each time this occurs I have to turn the car off at least two or three times before it goes back to normal operation.

I purchased a 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid (VIN [XXX] ) that was represented as having only an airbag replacement. A certified Honda dealer inspection has revealed multiple serious safety defects: •Driver seat belt buckle malfunction (DTC B0050-F0): The seat belt does not function properly and cannot be repaired without replacing the floor harness. This violates FMVSS 209 (seat belt safety standards). •Rear differential/ESC fault (DTC C1851-18): The differential shows signs of prior impact damage, metal shavings were found in the fluid, and the gearbox must be replaced. This affects AWD and electronic stability control (ESC), which is federally required under FMVSS 126. These issues were not disclosed by the selling dealer. The vehicle was sold “as-is,” but selling a car with a defective seat belt and ESC system creates a major safety hazard. Repairs are estimated at $8,692.92 on a vehicle with less than 2,000 miles. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and should never have been sold in this condition. The vehicle was purchased from Central Autohaus, Dallas, TX, on [XXX]. The dealer only disclosed an airbag replacement but did not disclose the seat belt defect or impact damage to the power train/ESC.

the mother board failed three days after purchasing the vehicle it had 6 miles on it they dealer would not swap the vehicle. now it is a year and a few months later and the battery failed they state i requested the lease to be swapped for another vehicle and they refused.

My car was sitting in idle with the engine on for approximately five minutes, then all of the sudden the engine started to make loud tractor engine-like loud noises. The dashboard was bombarded with warnings. I turned the car off, and waited a few seconds. After I restarted the car, the check engine light turned on and the system reverted to one warning on the screen which read "Emissions system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer."

Honda case#: 15542096. Rear camera will go black and white intermittently. Rear camera replaced under warranty at under 6k miles 9/25/25, however, problem still persists randomly. Attached pics on 3/22/25 and 4/2/25 are examples of this issue I witnessed and obtained photo of. Dealership says they cannot duplicate and cannot proceed forward with repair or diagnosis on 3/18/25 RO#377440 with just under 15k miles. No rhyme or reason for random occurrences other than seems to happen when weather changes drastically (cold or rain). It's a safety issue because black and white is a deviance from normality and it is not discerning enough with the low quality resolution camera used to prevent backing up into someone or something. Color helps the eye discern shapes, people, and things better protecting objects from damage and life from harm. Honda and the dealership so far has refused to take action or solve even though the car is under warranty.

I have a 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid AWD Sport model. On two occasions within the past 3 months, I have attempted to start the car, but when I did so, the dashboard lights, including all the error indicators lit up and flashed, the alarm went off, and I couldn't drive the car. In both cases, I called Roadside Assistance. While waiting for the tow truck, we were able to shut off the car and alarm by putting the car into "accessory mode," (pushing the ignition button without a foot on the brake.) But when we then tried to start the car normally (pushing start button with foot on brake) the electrical light show resumed and alarm started up all over again. Both times this happened, by the time the tow truck arrived (1-2.5 hours) the car had "rebooted" so we just drove home. The first time this occurred, the Honda dealer had just performed the recall repair to the steering gear box 2 days before the first electrical failure.

On Nov. 15, 2023, this vehicle had an episode of unintended acceleration as I was pulling into our garage. This resulted in the front end of the car crashing into material that was stored against a garage wall. I contacted the dealership immediately, and the car was towed to them. They stated that no computer error codes were found. A Honda certified repair center was recommended.. The car was towed to this repair center. It cost approximately $18,000 to repair the car and took 10 weeks. I also contacted American Honda to report the issue. I was told that I should call again after the repairs were finished and that additional testing would be done. I did call Honda after the repairs were done but did not hear back from them. I drove the car from the end of January 2024 until November 2024. At that time a second episode of unintended acceleration occurred on 11-14-2024, also while I was pulling into my garage. This caused damage to the right front end of the car and to the garage wall. I feel that this car is not safe to drive. I am concerned about a recurrence of unintended acceleration putting myself and others at risk. I have elected not to have the damage from the second accident repaired since I will not be driving this car again. I contacted American Honda again after the second incident. I provided them with documentation of the damage to the car along with insurance claims and repair bills. The case is now in the mediation department at American Honda. I am waiting to hear back from them. Fortunately, I was not physically injured during either accident. The vehicle is available for inspection. The answer to the other questions is no.

The system’s hybrid lithium ion battery froze and initially would not communicate the smart key to the vehicle. Then when it finally did, the system power was cut in half due to safety emissions problems. Unknown at this time if Honda will have a fix for this situation. I fear this could result in a safety situation if power were to be cut unannounced. The vehicle has been brought to dealer. And 4 exact vehicles had the same problem on January 23 2025, at bedard bros. Honda Cheshire, Ma.

Started car on cold day with remote, then car shut down . Dashboard lights came on and said contact dealer and not safe to drive. Lights and messages kept flashing.

This car does not seem fuel efficient it goes through gas like candy. The gas is not filling up correctly - no matter which gas station I use. The AC lets out puddles of water. The suspension is slightly off it acts like an row boat on waves so like an S in certain rain situations like it has a loose slippery power steering suspension. My tires are not the issue because they are brand new from when I got the car last year in November. I only have a little over 10K miles on the car. Next the electrical keeps glitching. The night driving lights do not work correctly after Honda did the recall repair. I am taking it back to Hendricks Honda for the next oil change on 12/27 and to try and get it fixed under warranty but I think they did not disclose a defect on the car when I bought it used with very low miles.

I have experienced several instances where the car accelerates for a few seconds even after l let go the accelerator pedal. I will select the most recent date as I experience this almost once everyday

I was driving back Thorne to Illinois on the highway from Florida vacation. My car shut off and could not continue to accelerate, at this point I’m in Georgia on [XXX] . I pulled over to the shoulder my car would not start. I towed it to Honda and they didn’t find the issue because there were no codes coming up and let us go home. Car turned on next morning and we continued to drive home. Well before we got to Nashville Tennessee the car shut off on the Highway again. We towed it to Honda again in Tennessee this time. We had to catch a ride home because Honda said it was unsafe to drive the car and they kept it to repair it. They said Both fuel pumps were not working and that they were going to order those parts and replace them. And go from there. And now they have called me saying they have replaced the fuel pump but the car is still having the same issues and the engineers says to start replacing thing and to start with the PCM and go from there. Currently the car is still at Honda Tennessee and they’re awaiting to get the PCM delivered to replace it in the car.

I bought the car brand new and from day 1 the backup camera display from the instrument is black and white. I scheduled an appointment at the dealer I brought the car from and they said they can’t do anything since Honda can’t figure out what is wrong yet. I called Honda motor directly tried to file a claim and I just get kept transferring around. It’s hard to see when at night time with display black and white.

My 2024 Honda CRV-Hybrid was sold to me with a defective back-up camera. The back-up camera starts in color and changes to black and white 98% of the time. I noticed the problem when I was driving the vehicle home from the dealership. I brought the vehicle into the dealership at 300 miles. I was told Honda Corporate is aware of the problem and has no remedy or solution to fix. I called Honda Corporate and opened a case. I was told by Honda Corporate to take the vehicle back to the dealership. I brought it again to the dealership at 587 miles. The dealership refused to see me for the problem. I was sold a vehicle that is known by Honda to have a defective back-up camera. This is fraud.

The backup camera image is shown as black and white, not color, and has poor resolution. With the black and white image and poor resolution, it is hard to determine exactly what is behind the vehicle when backing up, particularly in conditions of reduced lighting. The backup camera system was inspected by Honda dealership service and confirmed to have an issue. The display screen unit was replaced, but the backup camera image is still shown as black and white and has poor resolution. Another service appointment has been made.

The electrical components that failed or malfunctioned include the lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, collision mitigation system, and adaptive cruise control. These systems are critical for safe driving, and their malfunctions put safety at risk by causing unintended lane departures, inability to avoid collisions, and failure to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The issue was confirmed by a dealer during the first service visit, but subsequent visits did not reproduce the problem, despite new pictures showing recent issues with visible mileage. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. Error messages appeared on numerous occasions while turning on the car or operating it.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving uphill at 10 MPH, the "Brake Issue, contact dealer" "Brakes Needs Servicing," warning message illuminated. The vehicle independently accelerated and crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. The contact injured their head on the steering wheel. The contact also received bruises to their neck and knees that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was able to be driven the short distance home. The contact then stated that they later had the vehicle towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery had failed, however, they did not provide a diagnosis for the brake failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,024.

Mileage: 2,024

Continuous problems with illegal entry into vehicle, I have "Blocked all Android Auto on my mobile phone" and changed Carrier service , but still illegal entry is being made by the Dealership Clonning my Fab Key tracking all movement and when I park and enter Markets or Department stores CRIMINALS continue to illegally make entry into my vehicle and spraying chemicals in my vehicles causing faint spells and stomach.irritation, this is the second Honda , my 2022 Honda CR-V and now my 2024 Honda CR-V. this is a ongoing problem with my second Honda CR-V. I strongly believe this is a Highway Safety issue and maybe the causing traffic accidents, I Believe that the problem is due to criminal activity and is happening to other Drivers Safety.

For months, the infotainment screen has flashed on and off or delayed in coming on after vehicle has started. The delay would take minutes or hours and eventually became days. Now the screen has been completely blank for about two weeks now. You can hear the radio and adjust it with the steering wheel controls but cannot adjust it with the volume control on the infotainment center. CANNOT access any menus/apps nor make any adjustments to any safety equipment or vehicle settings. CANNOT turn the back seat reminder on when I put a child in the backseat. The back up camera does not work. I'm sure there are other safety concerns I cannot think of when not able to access certain menus or apps on the entertainment center.
