When driving around a corner at 2.5k RPMs, it felt like a cylinder in the engine went out, and the entire car put itself into limp mode, and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas Tree, with every indicator light being illuminated. I pulled the car over, shut it off, and checked the engine for any signs of damage, and there were none. After turning the car back on again, it the car ran like normal; however, every light was still on the dashboard. I took it into a shop later that day, and had it hooked up to a code reader. The only code that was still being transmitted was the P0011 code. I had previously gotten the oil changed by that exact same shop for the car the day prior, so I had no indications that this was an oil related issue. We then cleared the code, disconnected the battery for 15 minutes, started the car again, and all of the warnings and errors for the car had been cleared. After doing some research on Reddit, the shop found that there had been previous incidents where this same behavior took place for many of this make, model, and year of car, all happening randomly with no warning.

Had the NHTSA 24V-744 steering gearbox recall performed on my 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L. Immediately following the repair, the vehicle developed severe, unstable alignment tracking and 'memory steer' where the steering wheel fails to self-center after turning left. There is a dangerous, loose mechanical 'dead zone' in the center steering position and loud knocking noises coming from the steering column. Additionally, the technician mechanically damaged the steering column's internal clock spring ribbon cable during the repair, compromising the driver's SRS airbag deployment system. The vehicle's severe misalignment is causing glitchy Lane Departure Warning alerts because the camera tracking doesn't match the crooked physical steering angles, and it is actively destroying the front tires. The servicing dealership performed a brief 5-mile test drive and refused to fix the safety issues, writing 'no abnormalities found' on the invoice to clear their liability, and actively refused to provide my requested digital alignment machine printout. Honda Corporate customer service has refused to intervene, leaving the vehicle completely unstable and unsafe to drive.

A few days ago I heard a loud clunking noise emanating from the rear wheel wells when I was making left or right turns regardless of speed. I took it in to my local Honda dealer who reported that the nut holding the sway bar became loose somehow, causing the noise. They had indicated it's possible it had not been torqued to factory specifications. The dealer also reported that multiple customers had already come in for similar issues.
