What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The steering system appears to have malfunctioned. It is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I felt slight, momentary resistance when turning the steering wheel, mainly to the right. The resistance would then suddenly disappear and the steering wheel then lurched forward up to about 1" in the direction that I was turning the steering wheel, causing a bit of oversteer. I fear that this problem could develop into a full failure of the steering system while driving. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not yet, although I have a service appointment scheduled with a dealer to discuss and investigate this problem. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure? No. When did they first appear? 10/3/2024

I am reporting a major steering issue with my relatively new 2024 Honda HR-V, of which I’ve been driving since September of 2023. I recently started noticing jolting in my steering wheel when making even a slight turn, such as to adjust my positioning in a highway lane. It can best be described as “sticky steering,” and based on recent research I found reports of other Honda consumers complaining about this exact issue. According to this article [XXX] ) it appears to have something to do with a defective steering gear part. This is extremely dangerous to my safety and makes me extremely upset that this is occurring in a practically brand new vehicle. Please help and have Honda do their part in rectifying the problem.

Vehicle is brand new and has is issue where when the steering wheel is straight, the vehicle pulls left often into the direction of opposite traffic. And in order for the vehicle to drive straight, the steering wheel has to be tilted to the right. I have seen identical complaints to this on reddit and people share my concern. It is available for inspection depending on the needs to assess this issue. I took the vehicle for an alignment at the dealership I purchased this vehicle from last week or so and the issue persists exactly as before I dropped off and they seem to not have a fix for this safety issue, making me concern for my safety when driving this vehicle. (Ourisman Honda of Laurel) This puts me and other drivers at risk! A service member confirmed this issue during a diagnostics drive. The vehicle steering wheel has not been inspected by any party as they have no fix for this safety issue at this time. (potentially a major safety issue) There are no indications of this issue and have seen many owners of the 2024 and 2023 model with this safety concern on online communities. This issue bas appeared since day of purchase of this vehicle on the 20th of March and makes me question my/others safety and my purchase.

The steering is sticking. It started around 4,000 miles and has gotten progressively worse at now 9,000 miles. It makes the vehicle very difficult to drive and very dangerous in rainy conditions because I am afraid it is going to slide having to snatch the steering out of a curve on a wet road! It's like a build up of pressure where the steering wheel wants you to go in one direction and you have to break it free to be able to turn. It is a constant battle, even on straight roads. Just a constant jerking motion to even drive it straight! I travel a road every day with 4 round-a-bouts and I have to break the steering out of the curve every time. If I am sitting at a dead stop with my hand resting on the steering wheel, it's like after a few seconds the pressure breaks free and it allows the steering wheel to turn and my hand to fall to the side with it. I have never encountered such a thing! I hate it! It is DANGEROUS! I cannot believe I have a new vehicle that I absolutely hate to drive because of this!!!!!!!!!!!!! There wasn't an incident but I am putting 11/15/2023 below because that is when I had to drive it in the rain out of town and was literally terrified at the way it drove! I don't remember the exact date it started but I remember that day for sure!

RQ24006 · Front Seat Belt Assemblies May Be Missing The Rivet That Secures The Quick Connector And Wire Plate
On April 4, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ24006 to investigate American Honda Motor Co.’s (Honda’s) proposed remedy for recall 23V-782 as well as scope of the vehicles involved. Honda issued recall 23V-782 on November 21, 2023, which concerns certain model year (MY) 2023-2024 Honda Accord, Honda Accord Hybrid, and Honda HR-V vehicles. Recall 23V-782 states that the driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioner assemblies may have been manufactured without a rivet that secures the pretensioner quick connector and wire plate. Recall documentation states that seat belt pretensioner assemblies that are missing the rivet will not properly restrain the occupant in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of injury.Subject defective seat belt assemblies are installed as original equipment for both the driver and front passenger positions for the HR-V, but only for the driver position for the Accord and Accord Hybrid. The recall remedy for 23V-782 instructs the technician to inspect both front seat belt pretensioner assemblies and, if necessary, replace them. The inspection procedure requires the technician to utilize a pull force gauge to determine whether the subject component is missing the subject rivet and requires replacement. Parts requiring replacement are determined by whether the pretensioner quick connector separates from the pretensioner assembly while the technician is pulling on the seat belt. If no separation occurs, then the part is determined to be not defective and not require replacement. There have been no reports alleging a failure of seat belt pretensioner assemblies after the inspect and replace remedy for recall 23V-782 was performed. Additionally, no comparable failures have been observed in field data for similar vehicles outside of the scope of the recall. As of the 4th quarter of 2024, the recall completion rate is at approximately 84% of the total recalled population. In view of the lack of failures after the remedy for recall 23V-782 was performed, and the lack of failures in similar vehicles outside of the scope of the recall, ODI is closing this Recall Query (RQ). The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
