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.
After a rain storm, I noticed that the trunk door of my Honda HRV was filled with water. I could tell that it had a large amount of water in it because I could hear the water sloshing when driving. I also saw water slowly dripping from the trunk door when I opened it. I could tell that there was a lot more water in the door, but there was no way for me to drain it. In addition to having water in my trunk door, I found that the water had also filled in the spare tire well. Upon researching the issue, I have found that this is a common issue with my make and model as many people on a forum reported the same issue. I believe this is a safety issue because it can cause mold problems which is a health hazard. It can also cause damage to the trunk door and electrical components. In addition, water filling in the spare tire well could cause issues with the spare tire and potentially make it unusable. I took my car to the Honda service center and was told that this is a known problem for my make and model, and that the rubber around the tail light deteriorated. Their solution was to replace the tail lights, which would cost over a thousand dollars. Although I understand that rubber can deteriorate, this issue is not found on most cars and is specific to my model. The car should be designed to drain water and not have its parts fill up with water if the rubber has deteriorated.
My Hatch has been filling up with lots of water not too long after I began leasing it and it sloshes around, it is in my rear lights, has made the inside light of my hatch no longer work. Now, water is leaking in from both rear windows and somewhere in through the fabric of the inside back roof area creating a growing water stain and mold. Spare Tire well in back also fills up with up to 2 inches of water. Mold, Rust, Electrical problems and more are the result. Honda has not yet taken care of it although I have had a diagnostic and see that it has been reported here multiple times.
Paint is peeling on roof near sunroof and on passenger side rear door below the window. Car is white pearl orchid and this seems to be a common defect for the 2016 model. Car was stationary, has never been in an accident, is cleaned on a regular basis.
The open trunk lid hasn't stayed up recently, and while I'm accessing items, it crashes down in my head. I didn't see it and it hit me hard. This has begun happening more than once now, as recently as today. Because I didn't expect it or see it, it's dangerous and hurt my head. Perhaps a mild concussion.
There are two areas where the primary paint from Honda is peeling/cracking. Both locations are about the same in size (about a quarter), and exhibit peeling/cracking down to the body metal. There are no indications of physical damage to the locations, the areas are as follows: #1 is on the driver door right below the window trim; #2 is on the roof on the driver side next to the sunroof. The paint is original from Honda (2016 hrv), with dealer applied zaktek at time of purchase (mandatory by Honda dealer).
Paint is blistering and peeling away all the sudden on roof of car and on side of car near windshield. Paint is white and when researched, this is and issue with 2016 Honda hrv. Dealorship called and cannot see me for a few more days. Was told to file a report here and they will look when I get there.
A few months ago I started noticing water swishing in my trunk hatch. I took it to the dealership and they said they can look at it for $129 but they thought it was a bad seal. He asked if it had been in an accident but it hasn't. I looked on the hrv online forum and there has been many people complaining about this very same thing. I think this should be a defect from the manufacturer and should be repaired or replaced at their cost. It could really cause damage to the hatch or the tail light safety. I bought this vehicle new in 2016.

The rear hatch door has water inside of it. Both taillights have condensation in them and you can hear water sloshing around when you open and close the door. Electrical components have started to malfunction due to the water and Honda doesn't care because the warranty has expired.
I bought a 2016 white hrv in Feb. Within a month a giant section of paint peeled right off the roof. I was just ready to pay for it. Took to a professional car painter and he said "id love to take your money, but this is a Honda defect and they really should fix it and its going to keep coming off the rest of the roof and other places". then he said he knew that Honda was having paint peeling issues especially white cars. Additionally there are 2 very small sections of peeled paint on driver side door under the window. I took it to the local dealership and filed a claim but have yet to hear from corporate.
My Honda Hr-V started leaking water while parked. The water that entered the vehicle was substantial (see attached pictures). The water leakage was determined a third party contractor that the dealership hired after failing to detect the source of the leak after having the car for over a month. The water was leaking in through a faulty seal in the windshield above the drivers side door and was traveling down the side curtain air-bag plastic molding and getting behind the dashboard. The water caused electrical damage in the car that made lights and relays start tripping out, eventually the battery died. The car was parked during the incident and I found the damage after rain storm. The carpets also had to be replaced due to being water damaged and possibly lead to mold. The rainstorm that came through was significant, however this problem could have been going on without my knowledge to a lesser extent. Due to the way the water was getting into the car it could be almost undetectable for an extended period of time since all of the damage is hidden by plastic molding. The car was bought brand new from the dealership, never had an accident and never had the windshield replaced. The car was completely stock as far as the affected parts go.
While driving my Honda Hr-V 2016 vehicle at 70 mph on us-175 in kaufman, Texas, the vehicle suddenly span out of control and turned counterclockwise 360 degrees for two full rotations until being stopped by slamming into the guardrail. The vehicle was equipped by Honda with Michelin primacy mxv4 (dot B33F 01vx 2116) P215/55 R17 94V tires. The right rear tire had exploded despite having been measured to be at normal pressure just one day earlier. The left front rim and the right rear tire were badly damaged.
Driver 1 traveling eastbound in the blvd and gets distracted and collided to parked vehicle 2. driver 1 swerved the wheel to the right to control the car but vehicle 1 overturned and came to rest.
