This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
When putting the car in reverse, the rear camera image is usually black and white instead of color, which is unsafe because of the lack of contrast. It will also strobe between black and white and color, which is also unsafe and annoying. I took it to the dealer today (All Star Honda in Abilene TX) and they said Honda knows about the problem but doesn't have a fix yet. I've looked online at the Honda CR-V Owners Group and Redditt and see many complaints posted...so I'm guessing NHTSA knows about it, but just wanted to make sure....and I want my brand new car defect fixed....and I want Honda to stop manufacturing cars with this known defect.
After driving a car through a rainstorm, and trying to back up into a parking space on a city street, Big blobs of water drops appeared on the rear camera making it impossible to see backing up. Many people report this on social media sites.
Rear View mirror crashed without any outside impact. Car was in standing and rear view mirror cracked without no external reason in a new car just withing 30 days. Honda probably used low quality mirror or assembly was not proper.
Driver side mirror. The mirror looks very distorted and shakes significantly when driving. The view from my driver side mirror looks worse at night, which is when I do most of my driving. Headlights from other cars affect the view from my driver side mirror and give off a terrible reflection. I have taken my vehicle to Honda dealer and they stated they did not notice any distorted images or shaking. I have had this vehicle for barely 2 weeks and have had no luck in finding the a solution.

A crack appeared on the passenger side mirror for no obvious reason. It might have been caused by the temperature change from -2?C at night to 7?C in the morning, but I'm not sure. No impact signs, crack has curved U shape form.
On March 09, 2024 as I was backing into a parking space, the rear vehicle wheels came into contact with the parking curb at which point the rear window shattered. The pieces of the window flew in many directions approximately up to 5 to 10 feet outside and into the rear cargo area of the vehicle where I had my dogs. Fortunately, there were no other persons around the vehicle at the time and my dogs were not harmed. Immediately after this incident, I called the car dealer where I originally purchased the vehicle, and was advised to bring it in. I thereafter brought the vehicle to the car dealer service center where they removed some of the remaining pieces still attached to the window area and covered the window with plastic. Thereafter I drove the vehicle home, returned with the vehicle to the dealer on March 12, 2024, and the dealer replaced the window on March 13, 2024 at which time I retrieved my vehicle and returned the loaner car to the dealer. The window appeared to be replaced with a different type of window than the original. I asked the dealer why this occurred, the response was that they did not know why and further stated that this issue of shattering rear windows occurred in the 2023 HR-V models, but they were not aware of an issue in the CR-V models. I purchased the vehicle on February 7, 2024 and prior to this incident I had no problems with the vehicle to include the rear window. The invoice from the car service center states that there were no signs of impact on the vehicle.
Driver side mirror got cracked itself. Car was parked in driveway and there was no crack in mirror until previous night. 2 days ago there was snow and temperature was around 30f. This seems to be safely hazard considering it-??s now distracting while driving.
Day #4 of ownership of brand new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring, passenger side mirror cracked on a cold morning, approximately 18 degrees. Suspect heating element was too hot and the transition from cold to hot too rapidly caused a vertical crack from top to bottom that impairs vision. Called the dealer, part is on back order and they have no clue when it'll come in. Would not commit to tell me if it was under warranty or not.
Side view mirror cracked without any impact. I started backing up, looked away and when I looked back the mirror was cracked. Nothing hit it or was even near it.
Newer CRV-??s windshield wash fluid is delivered through a rubber hose /nozzle that ends on the metal wiper arm, and is exposed to extreme cold temperatures. Other vehicles hoses terminate in the hood, where they are kept warm by the heat radiating from the engine. We just drove cross country, experiencing below zero temps, on highways with heavy traffic and precipitation, with often frozen lines, resulting in really constant, poor visibility., The fluid being used is rated for -30, yet the lines still froze up.
The driver side rear-view mirror vibrates any time i am traveling over 40-50 mph. This makes it extremely hard to see what is happening behind me. This is a huge problem while at high way speeds and it needs to be rectified immediately.
Front passenger window exploded while driving early in the morning. 1000 miles on vehicle. Only owned for 2 1/2 weeks. No visible issues or scratches and no objects found in vehicle. Body damage from glass noted on the outside.
