2016 HONDA HR-V Structurebody Problems

My vehicle suddenly developed electrical problems and would not start. Before it completely failed, I began seeing warning lights on the dashboard, including a PARK warning and an engine oil light. The vehicle had been operating normally earlier that day, but later became totally unresponsive. The doors would not unlock electronically and the car would not start. This happened after a period of heavy rain. When the vehicle was inspected by a Honda dealership, they found signs of long-term water intrusion and corrosion affecting electrical components and wiring. I later learned that the vehicle had previously been repaired for water intrusion through the rear hatch/tailgate area, which may have allowed moisture into the vehicle over time. The car is now inoperable. This raises safety concerns because electrical failures like this can lead to sudden loss of reliability, inability to start the vehicle when needed, or potential failure while driving. The...

The white orchid paint is peeling off on top of car and sides

Extensive and widespread peeling and de-lamination of paint across entire vehicle beginning in 2025 (two years after extended warranty expired). About $6000 to repair and Honda refusing to assist/contribute to repairs.

The car is a 2016 Honda HRV. The car is orchid pearl (white) and has developed extensive paint issues where the paint is peeling on the doors and potentially places on the roof. The car is an excellent overall condition with no history of auto accidents. This paint issue is common for this color HRV and impacts the value of the vehicle and will lead to body surface rust and the problem continues to worsen each month.

Faulty seams and gaskets in the rear cause water to leak into spare tire well. This causes mold & mildew issues to occur. From online research, this is an extremeley common issue for the 2016 Honda HR-V. There is evidence that the water is coming in through the rear tail lights. This has been a common failure point for many others online, which is why I think this is worthy of recall. I first had mold issues about 18 months ago. I thought it may have been from a spilled drink, so I sanitized the upholstery and moved on. Now a few weeks after some rainy weather, I found mold on the upholstery again and felt increased interior humidity in the car. My point is that this issue could remain benign for a long time and manifest as mold during heavy/rainy weather.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -while driving (Honda HRV) the sunroof exploded and shattered glass sprayed all over our family. Nothing hit or caused trauma to the glass, it simply exploded by itself. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -shattered glass sprayed all over 3 adults and an infant and could have caused facial injuries, abrasions, and more. Additionally the loud noise of the explosion and distraction of the event could have led to a car wreck on a busy highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -Unsure. I did see a class action law suit with Honda. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -in process Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the...

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...

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.

PAINT IS PEELING ON MULTIPLE BODY PANELS. AND THERE ARE RUST SPOTS IN THE PAINT.

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.

THIS IS INDEED WHAT HAPPENED WHY I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNING MY CAR SAFETY AGAIN FOR THE CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS CAR I BOUGHT IN MONTH OF MAY TO JUNE OF YEAR 2016 THIS CAR HONDA HRV 2016 WAS A DISPLAY CAR HAS NO NICE FEATURES IN IT AT ALL ONLY DOOR CONTROLS WHICH ALREADY STOPPED WORKING ONCE THIS PASS WEEK MAKING THIS CAR VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE BUT INITIALLY WHEN I BOUGHT CAR I NOTICED A DENT ON BACK CAR DOOR I JUST FOUND OUT CAR NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD AS NEW CAR WITH DENT ALREADY TO BE REPAIRED THE PRICE I NOTICED AS WELL OF TWENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS WAS WAY TOO HIGH HIGHEST PRICE I EVER SAW WAS EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT BELONGS COMMUNITY HONDA IS THE NAME OF THE DEALERSHIP...

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...
