2024 Honda HR-V
This year drew an ordinary 107 complaints for a Honda HR-V — the model's median is 82. What they were about is the unusual part: 43% of them mention steering, against 6.3% across the model's other years.
Generation 2 of the Honda HR-V, which began in 2023. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Honda HR-V was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
