Owners have filed 319 complaints
about the 2022 Honda Cr-V with NHTSA between 2022 and 2026.
The largest single group is the steering.
Across this model's run it ranks 26 of 30 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 23
Against the median year of the Honda Cr-V. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 32
6.3% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 100
74% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

NHTSA investigations into the 2022 Honda Cr-V
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles. The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Hon...

Recalls on the 2022 Honda Cr-V
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 202625112,371 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
Issue: On certain vehicles, the weight sensor for the front passenger seat may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the passenger-front airbag and knee airbag could deploy in a crash that doesn't require them to. Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2024-059. If the weight sensor fails, the SRS warning light would turn on in the instrument panel. Safety Risk: An airbag system that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger-front seat weight sensor.

My wife was unloading bags of groceries from the back of the vehicle. I had opened the liftgate once I pulled into the garage. One of the bags she grabbed was double bagged but one came off and went under the rear bumper. I got to the back of the car where she was at and I asked her what was the bag under the car, assuming it still had items in it. She explained it had came off the bag in her hand and she reached down to grab it. When she got it I heard the noise from the liftgate that a closure was activated via her getting the bag from under the car. It was coming down fairly quick. I told her loudly to move back, the liftgate was closing. When she did she lost her balance. She rotated around and fell in the driveway, skinning her knees and her hands and ended up on her back wondering what happened. Thankfully she did not hit her head. She is [XXX] and coordination is not a strong suit for either of us. I am [XXX].

STEERING
The Steering appears to be sticky on highway speeds. Honda has the recall for this exact same issue but seems like 2022 CRV was excluded from the recall. This is a major safety issue which can easily lead to over correction as you need to add extra strength to adjust the steering wheel when driving on the road.

Cincinnati, OH
STEERING
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? When I drive, whether at low or highway speeds, the steering sticks in place and needs to be yanked lightly to correct it. This behavior is described by NHTSA Campaign 24V-744, but Honda says that my VIN is not covered. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I have to force correct my steering which can lead to overcorrection. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, it has been confirmed by a diagnostic at Honda East Cincinnati. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Only the dealer service department. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There are no warning lights or messages. The problem appears in daily driving.

STEERING
About two years ago on an unfamiliar 2 lane highway the stearing failed to recenter itself at the end of a sweeping corner and felt unusually heavy. Thought it might be tire ruts in the road. Breifly on a couple different occasions the steering didnt feel right, like "is it the road or the car". then a few weeks ago on a very familiar stretch of interstate, the car started to pull right so I corrected but the stearing was heavy/ stiff feeling. It continued for about a mile though bends in the road and then became very heavy, feeling similar to trying to turn the wheels sitting still with the engine off. Then suddenly after that felt normal again. No doubt now something is wrong. My wife usually drives the car. I'm a retired local truck driver of mainly urban driving. A less experinced person could easily apply the needed force to correct, then overcorrect causing a crash. To random to be reproduced by dealer. No warning lamps. Formal complaint made to the manufacturer. It is available for inspection

STEERING
It seems that once the vehicle has been driven for a bit and things heat up, the steering will become 'sticky' when trying to turn, even small turns of the steering wheel. This is accompanied by a creaking sound when turning. At high speeds this is especially concerning due to the steering sticking, which then requires a big of additional force, which abruptly yanks the direction of the vehicle as opposed to smooth steering transitions. The problem was diagnosed by a local mechanic center, which informed me that a recall for this exact problem was issued for 2023 and newer models of my vehicle, which is a 2022. Due to my vehicle falling just outside of the 2023 window, the manufacturer would not help me.

STEERING
When the car is cold and driving around town the electric power steering is fine. But once the car heats up and especially when driving on the highway there is a noticeable issue with the steering. When trying to maintain my position in the lane or making a gradual turn on a curve, the steering sticks for an instant. This continues for the entire trip. It is difficult to have a smooth drive with the steering. I have been told there are some gears that expand with the heat causing them to have a slight hesitation trying to mesh whenever a turn is made. This seems to me to be a big safety issue wondering when the gear won't mesh properly and I may be unable to navigate a turn. This is not a one time incident. This happens every time the car gets heated up during a drive. I called Honda and was told that my VIN did not qualify for a recall. I have seen other complaints filed with this same problem.

STEERING
CRV began a slight resistance feeling when steering coupled with a slight screeching/rubbing sound. Took vehicle to Gilman Honda, in Rosenberg Texas. They kept the car over 24 hours and told us they didn’t notice anything. We went to dealer and drove the vehicle with technician. He stated the noise wasn’t worth a fix and the car was ok to drive until the noise got worse. He stated the car would most likely need a whole power steering rack replacement in the future but was not needed at that moment. The noise is a lot worse now and the resistance on the steering is too. Our major problem is dealer technicians not giving us an accurate diagnosis, so we can make a decision on repairing the vehicle. I have since began reading about steering issues and became aware this new steering component used by Honda has had numerous recorded issues but it has failed to back its product. It doesn’t help that they are also not assessing the problem honestly at the dealer repair locations.

My 2022 Honda CR-V has a "sticky steering" issue. This is a well-documented problem that has resulted in the recall of many Honda vehicles. It occurs regularly and results in the need to apply additional pressure to the steering wheel in order to correct the vehicle direction on a curve. This often results in an over-correction.

STEERING
Steering "sticks" when going at highway speeds around long corners in any weather condition. The steering also sticks and clicks in tight turns at any speed, noticeably more often when outside temperatures are 85 degrees and above. I thought it could be the road departure mitigation or the vehicle stability assist system, but neither indicator was shown on the dash during the sticky steering incidents. The sticky steering makes me worried about driving on the highway and having to maneuver corners, since the only way to regain control of the wheel is to lightly jerk it out of the stuck position. The fact that the 2023-2025 models were recalled for the sticky steering made me believe my 2022 CR-V was safe from the steering issue so the first few times it occurred during my warranty period I thought it was an actual safety feature. I was certainly wrong! I have 16,500 miles on my car, do not drive many miles, and am 9 months outside of the warranty. The dealership wants to replace the steering gear on the vehicle in accordance with Honda Service Bulletin 24-011 charging me a cost of $2,200.

POWER TRAIN
On or about April 17, 2026, while driving my 2022 Honda CR-V equipped with the 1.5L turbocharged engine (approximately 53,890 miles), I experienced a sudden loss of engine power and performance. There were no warning lights, warning messages, or other symptoms prior to the incident. The first indication of a problem occurred during the failure itself. Diagnostic testing later identified DTC P0299 (turbocharger underboost). The vehicle was transported to an authorized Honda dealership (Stokes Honda North), where technicians diagnosed a catastrophic turbocharger failure. During their inspection, they determined that metal from the failed turbocharger had contaminated the engine and recommended complete engine replacement. The sudden loss of engine power created a significant safety concern because the vehicle could not accelerate normally in traffic. A loss of power while merging onto a highway, crossing an intersection, or attempting to avoid another vehicle could increase the risk of a collision. The failure was confirmed by the authorized Honda dealership. The vehicle was also inspected by American Honda as part of its warranty review. Although Honda denied warranty coverage, I am submitting this complaint to report what I believe is a potential safety-related failure involving the turbocharger and resulting engine damage. The vehicle remains available for inspection if requested. I respectfully ask NHTSA to determine whether similar failures are occurring in other 2022 Honda CR-V vehicles equipped with the 1.5L turbocharged engine and whether further investigation is warranted.

On July 15 around 7:15 AM in the morning I was driving on my way to work at a highway speed of about 55mph and all of a sudden I just heard almost like an explosion or something had hit the vehicle and I saw something flying off the roof. The vehicle has the sunroof and so I decided to pull over and I checked the vehicle and sure enough the sunroof seemed to randomly shatter. nothing had hit the vehicle, there were no other vehicles near me. I don’t recall having vehicle being hit by anything anytime recently. The last two days we had extremely high temperatures and I did use the AC at low temperatures and wondered if the change of temperature may have played a role. I purchased the vehicle on February 7, 2026. I got really scared that that if the sunroof had been uncovere, that glass could have shattered and hurt me or could have hurt someone else. I had the car towed and had it repaired and they told me that there was no warranty to repair the vehicle so I had to pay out-of-pocket.

The steering has become "sticky", the service shop says the steering gear box is bad and must be replaced. There were no warnings. It just suddenly seemed like when I tried to turn left the car steering was fighting me and trying to jerk back to straight. It was intermittent at first, then became regular with turning left, and recently began doing it when turning right --even slight turns. We had to have the vehicle serviced for regular maintenance and asked the service dealer to look into it. They told us we must replace this or lose all steering at sometime in the near future. There is a recall on 2023-2025 Honda CR-V for the same issue, but not my vehicle.
