Common Problem
Steering and Suspension Issues
Some Honda models, including the BR-V, have reported steering-related problems. The "sticky steering" issue has been noted in other Honda models like the CR-V. Additionally, there are reports of steering wheel creaking noises in the 2023 hybrid sport models. These issues might require dealership visits for diagnosis and repair.
Mirror Vibrations
Vibrating side mirrors at highway speeds have been a common complaint among Honda owners. While some dealerships claim this is normal due to road-induced vibrations , it can affect visibility and may need further investigation if severe.
Interior and Build Quality Quirks
Several minor interior issues have been reported, such as wrinkles on seats and armrests , and damage on the footrest. These may not impact functionality but could be bothersome for new car owners expecting pristine condition.
Miscellaneous Complaints
Other quirky issues include foam tape protruding from doors , imperfections in windshield glass , and dissatisfaction with the horn sound, described humorously as sounding like a "clown car". While these don't affect performance, they contribute to overall user experience.
