Vehicle began making loud chainsaw noise. Took to original location of purchase (Nissan Dealer - bought as used at 42k, no issues), was told that alternator, drive belt and tensioner were needing replacement as that was the location of noise. Took to Honda Dealer where I was originally told just tensioner, now they are stating alternator is faulty along with tensioner. Car only has 72k and most of miles are highway miles. No warning signs other than loud chainsaw noise that was constant while car in drive and idling (no noise in reverse).

I own a 2024 Honda HR-V. Since I purchased the vehicle, I have experienced recurring warning messages stating: "Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem - See Your Dealer" and "Road Departure Mitigation System Problem - See Your Dealer." I brought the vehicle to the Honda dealer and reported these problems. The dealer scanned the vehicle and told me that no fault codes were found. Despite this, the problem has continued. On one occasion, while driving at approximately 5 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes on its own. There was no vehicle, pedestrian, cone, rock, debris, or other obstacle in front of the vehicle. I did not intentionally apply the brakes to cause the sudden stop. I am concerned that the Collision Mitigation Braking System or another Honda Sensing safety system may be incorrectly detecting an obstacle and applying the brake hen there is nothing in front of the vehicle. This is a safety concern, it could save lives and stop accidents from happening if this safety issue gets investigated and find a solution.

*The vehicle exhibited a profound and worrisome vibration under the driver's seat ( I was also told by a Honda Serviceman in the passenger seat during the pre-service test drive, that he felt it, also), when accelerating at speeds of 53 mph and above on the highway. This systematic issue was replicated by the dealership across multiple model years (2023 and 2026 HR-V's), suggesting a fundamental mismatch between the heavy SUV body and the lighter Civic chassis platform. The vehicle is NOT available for inspection upon request because I was forced to trade it in for a competitor's vehicle due to structural concerns. *The safety risk was two-fold: structural unpredictability and driver distraction/anxiety. The profound vibration directly beneath the driver's seat felt fundamentally unsafe and unstable at highway speeds, creating a constant fear of a catastrophic mechanical or structural failure while driving at 53 mph+ speeds. Dealing with this profound, undiagnosable vibration caused considerable psychological stress, heartache and anxiety every time I entered the freeway, severely impacting my peace of mind and distraction levels while attempting to navigate high-speed traffic. *Yes, the issue was brought to a Honda dealership's Service Department, where they dismissed the shaking by stating "that is just how the HR-V drives." To confirm the systematic nature of the defect, comparative freeway test drives were conducted with a member of the Service Department and a salesman, using both a separate 2023 HR-V and a brand new 2026 HR-V on the exact same route. Both vehicles exhibited the identical, unsettling vibration at 53 mph, confirming it is a widespread engineering defect across the vehicle line. *Yes. My independent mechanic of 20 years did a full inspection but incorrectly blamed "the road". This delayed my dealer visit, where staff also refused to inspect it, saying "that's" just how the HR-V drives". Both facilities failed to address the risk. *No.

Rear liftgate window spontaneously cracked no signs of damage to the rear of vehicle rear glass was mostly intact but had tempered glass fracturing throughout while car was parked. In terms of safety, glass breaking spontaneously can cause damage to eyes/ect. Police report filed, Dealership denies that it is an issue for the 2024 HRV model only 2023. No warnings, or symptoms just the rear window cracking.

Components of concern: collision mitigation braking system - while driving with no car in front of vehicle, car slammed on brakes - could have caused an accident. Yes, available for inspection. Also, lights went off and said to see dealer (have picture that I'm having issues attaching). Lights that went off were : collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam, adaptive cruise control, some driver assist systems cannot operate (clear front windshield or poor viewing distraction) - all at the same time, even when it's no visible windshield issues. Yes, available for inspection. Want to take to Honda dealership but I'm being charged $80 for a diagnostic when this is a system issue. Not yet

My wheels will not stay aligned. I’ve had all the property services done to the car, and extra, by a Honda Dealer. I have 8 repair records to alignment on a new car, in under 18 months. Under my state of Virginia laws, only three safety fixes on a car authorize the car as a ‘dud’ and should be a buy back. Honda Corp has in their possession all documents and all notices needed under the law, since November 2025. Honda Corp is not responding. Hello, who holds them to the law? Who is above Honda? It’s been since months since I notified Honda and they won’t follow the law. Who overseas Honda? Hello?

Suspension and wheels do not stay aligned even after 7 attempts by Honda dealers to reset and realign. Suspension always jumps out of alignment.

I own a 2024 Honda HR-V. During the second winter of ownership, the windshield cracked under normal conditions without any known impact, collision, or external force. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Honda dealership for inspection. The dealership did not document any cause of the crack and did not identify any impact damage. Instead, they only provided an estimate for replacement. Despite the lack of documented external cause, the manufacturer has classified the damage as “external” and declined responsibility. I am concerned that this may indicate a potential defect in the windshield or structural stress issue, as the crack occurred without any identifiable external trigger. I am submitting this report to ensure this issue is documented in case similar incidents occur with other vehicles.
