How this compares
109 complaints is 1.3 times fewer than the median 2024 model on this site and 1.4 times fewer than the median 2024 SUV. Among the 7 HR-V model years here it ranks 6th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Complaints filed by year
51 complaints came in 2024, 5.7 times the year before. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
