2019 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #2125271
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STEERING filed August 29, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2125271 (ODI reference 11683862) concerns a 2019 HONDA CR-V and was filed on August 29, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 1, 2025. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA CR-V cohort independently describe similar steering failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 HONDA CR-V shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

In addition to the stiffness, I have also noticed a clicking noise when turning the wheel, which seems to accompany or precede the sticky sensation.
