NHTSA has received 109 owner complaints about the 2024 Honda HR-V, or 39.1 per year on the road — a typical number of complaints (complaint index 0.97, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 89 model-year 2024 vehicles we track, it ranks #63 of 89 by complaints per year (#1 = fewest).
