Recent complaints
The steering started glitching in December 2025. The steering became increasingly difficult and did not respond normally, causing concern that I could lose the ability to control the vehicle. Because steering is essential to maintaining control of a vehicle, I believe this failure created a serious risk of a crash, injury or death. The problem has been inspected and confirmed by Walsh Honda in Macon, Georgia. There were not warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem before December 2025. My car is still at Walsh Honda awaiting repair. The costs is $5,195. The car only has 43,000 miles on it.
I am submitting this complaint regarding a steering system defect on my 2019 Honda CR-V, which currently has fewer than 55,000 miles. Over the past few weeks, I have been experiencing a grinding/creaking noise when turning the steering wheel, particularly during low-speed right turns and when the steering wheel is turned while reversing. The noise also occurs occasionally steering forward and has become progressively louder and more frequent. In addition to the noise, the steering wheel intermittently catches or sticks while driving straight and then making a slight steering correction and also when turning in a fixed position. When this occurs, the steering wheel requires noticeably more force than normal to move, especially to the right. This creates inconsistent steering feel and raises concerns about vehicle control and safety. I had the vehicle inspected by my mechanic, who diagnosed the issue as a defective steering rack worm gear. Based on this diagnosis, the recommended repair is replacement of the complete steering rack assembly. Given the relatively low mileage of this vehicle and the potential safety implications of intermittent steering binding, I believe this represents a defect in the steering system that should be investigated.
While driving at about the speed of 45 miles/hr. the car abruptly braked in the middle of the road without any vehicle or object in front of me. It was a scary situation because if there had been a car behind me, my car would have been rear-ended. This problem has neither been reproduced nor investigated by anyone. I have, in the past, noticed that occasionally the brake light on the dashboard would flash for a second and go off but did not affect motion or speed. I have not received any warning messages regarding the vehicle's brakes.
Vehicle is a 2019 Honda CR-V (1.5L Turbo) experiencing an active internal mechanical failureâsuspected collapsing/sticking piston rings bypassing the combustion chamber, resulting in severe, unmeasured oil consumption. The dealership (Wesley Chapel Honda) filled the engine with new oil and refuses to perform an internal diagnostic teardown or provide a safe alternative vehicle. Instead, they are advising me to operate this vehicle for an additional 2,000 miles to complete a corporate "consumption test" to prove the defect for warranty authorization. Operating a vehicle with a known, rapid, and erratic oil depletion defect for thousands of miles presents a severe, immediate safety hazard to my family and others on the road. If the engine oil drops below critical operating levels unexpectedly between manual checks, the engine faces an immediate risk of catastrophic metal-on-metal friction, thermal expansion, and sudden engine seizure at highway speeds. This creates an extreme driving liability, including an instantaneous loss of all motive power, a sudden loss of vital power steering and power braking assist (making the vehicle incredibly heavy and difficult to control or maneuver safely to a shoulder), and a high risk of an engine bay fire due to intense friction and fluid ignition. This is a known issue that I presented to them in March. At that time the PCV valve was replaced along with new spark plugs. The problem continues to persist. This matter is actively documented with Honda Corporate under Case #16466779. A manufacturer protocol should not supersede passenger safety by forcing the prolonged operation of a defective vehicle. The dealership has advised that this is a known issue with the 2019 Honda CRV with piston rings failing. This needs to be made public and a recall for Honda to fix.
At approximately 50 mph the steering sticks and is not smooth. Driver must maintain center by controlling the wheel as it feels stiff then clicks. Safety concern.
