Owners have filed 356 complaints
about the 2019 Honda Hr-V with NHTSA between 2019 and 2026.
The largest single group is the driver assist & collision avoidance.
Across this model's run it ranks 1 of 11 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 — 79
Against the median year of the Honda Hr-V. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 54
10.4% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 100
64% 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.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single

NHTSA investigations into the 2019 Honda Hr-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.

Rear Differential Seizure
On November 29, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE 22-011 after reviewing field reports alleging rear differential seizure in 2018-2022MY Honda CR-V and HR-V vehicles equipped with all wheel drive. To date, ODI has not received any consumer complaints. Some of the field reports received alleged the vehicle’s wheels locked up with no warning while the vehicle was in motion. These vehicles were towed to a dealership. Examination of these vehicles showed the driveshaft had broken and the differential unit was completely damaged.

Recalls on the 2019 Honda Hr-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.

While driving, a vehicle attempted to pass three cars at once. At the last minute, the person saw an oncoming car approaching and quickly came back to the other lane, cause the three cars to break hard quickly. I, the one putting down this complaint, am the only one who hit another vehicle. I hit that vehicle in its rear as everyone was breaking. The driver side airbag did not deploy from the impact. There were no other persons in my vehicle. At this time, there is no independent center to confirm that it should of deployed. The vehicle has only been inspected on the extent of the damage to it by my insurer. There were no light warnings of any kind that I can recall from the crash.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Defective front-facing camera located above the rear view mirror, used by several car safety systems, fails intermittently causing the dashboard to emit persistent visual and audio warnings. This is a 2019 HRV-EX with approx. 60,000 miles. It happens most frequently when the car interior is hot. The cacophony is so overwhelming that it distracts from being able to safely operate the vehicle. Honda dealer from whom the car was purchased estimated over $2000 to fix the issue. This is a common issue with several Honda models and there is a class action suit filed in US District Court, Central District of CA. Honda should acknowledge there's a design defect in the camera system and offer to repair it at its own expense.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I own a 2019 Honda HR-V, VIN [XXX]. My vehicle required replacement of the fuel pump motor associated with Honda’s fuel-pump recall. On XXX, I had the fuel pump replaced at Firestone Complete Auto Care because the recall repair had not been performed on my vehicle. The fuel pump cost $969.77, and the total repair cost was approximately $1,200 including labor. I subsequently submitted a reimbursement claim to Honda because the recall repair had already been completed at my expense. Honda denied my reimbursement claim, stating that, based on its records, my vehicle had already been repaired. This is incorrect. I did not have the recalled fuel-pump repair performed by Honda or a Honda dealer before the XXX Firestone repair. Honda has also confirmed that, based on the information available for my VIN, my vehicle is associated with a fuel-pump motor recall. I am concerned that Honda’s recall records incorrectly indicate that the recall remedy was previously performed on my vehicle when it was not. I am requesting that NHTSA review this matter and determine whether Honda’s recall records for my VIN are inaccurate and whether this may be affecting my ability to receive the recall remedy or reimbursement for a repair that I had to pay for myself. I can provide the Firestone invoice, proof of payment, Honda’s reimbursement denial, and correspondence regarding the recall upon request.

The vehicle dash cluster flickers and goes completely out. When this happens you can not see the mileage or how much fuel you have. This is a known problem and even my local dealer has seen a few and Honda will not stand behind the problem. The dealership wants over two thousand dollars to replace the cluster and they charge me $80 to look at it once when it wasn’t flickering so they couldn’t make a report, but they have seen it messed up and have a claim number with Honda but they say vehicle is too old and 80,000 miles so they will not fix this safety issue.

My gas instrument panel gauge works intermittently. This gauge shows the gas level, temperature and mileage information. There were no symptoms of this problem. A lot of the time the instrument panel that shows gas level, temperature and mileage information is blank. I feel this is a safety problem. Honda does know about this problem. If I took this to a Honda dealership to be fixed it would cost $1,800-$2,000 to fix. This is something that happened when this make and model: 2019 Honda HRV Sport was assembled at the factory.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The 2019 Honda HRV with low miles of around 44,000 miles experienced a series of warning alerts on the dash board consisting of the following list of five problems: Road Departure Mitigation System Problem; Auto High-Beam Problem; Adaptive Cruise Control Problem ACC; Lane Keeping Assist Problem LKAS; and Collision Mitigation System Problem. This started with warm weather at the end of July 2026 and is continuing intermittently in August 2026 as of the date of this write up. I described this to a Honda service person verbally in person in Huntington Beach, CA and they said it was a Multipurpose Camera problem and could fix it for $1,971.23 plus tax. They indicated that the camera was improved so it wouldn't fail so easily. The vehicle has not been physically inspected by dealer service staff yet. With all these safety features potetially not functiing at times creates great safety risk (e.g., Adaptive Cruise Control is not really on when you think it is and the car could rear end another vehicle in front especially if the Collision Mitigation Sytem is also malfunctioning). Car with low miles and in great shape otherwise. No significant accidents. No cracked or replaced windshield. Have a large 113MB video if needed of dashboard problem warnings.

ENGINE
My 2019 HR-V transmission is suffering from the premature CVT belt deterioration outlined in Honda's internal service bulletins TSB 21-047. My car has 99,000 miles and Honda refuses to replace the faulty transmission. The intermittent loss of acceleration poses an immediate safety hazard when merging onto highways or navigating heavy traffic.

The transmission belt deteriorated. I had noticed my gears slightly delayed over past couple months. On July 10th, i was on freeway during morning commute traffic and the car lost all power. All the dash warning lights came on and I luckily got to side of road. I towed to dealer and they confirmed that it was premature belt deterioration. I sent a claim to honda and they agreed that was the issue but they would not honor any warranty against it. I was never informed by either Honda America, nor my dealership that there could be any issue with my transmission. Apparently, honda issued bullitin 21-047 knowing that an issue exists but unfortunately my car is 2mos over in time.
