The most commonly reported concern on the CR-V centers on the forward collision avoidance system activating unexpectedly while driving at speed, sometimes causing crashes. Owners also report the steering system behaving in unwanted ways, tied to lane-keeping behavior that cannot be disabled through normal controls. Electrical system failures and fuel filler issues round out the pattern of complaints.
