Honda HR-V problems, by model year and system
1,847 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Honda HR-V 2016–2027, and the 5 systems the record is deep on — visibility and wiper (423), electrical (313), transmission and drivetrain (174), steering (154), fuel system (146). Each system has a page across the years; 6 model-year pages go deeper still. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate or a verdict on one car.

Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions

Visibility and wiper: 423 complaints across 12 model years, 23% of everything owners filed about the Honda HR-V. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Honda HR-V year has the most complaints?
2023 (686), 2016 (239), 2019 (235). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
