A Honda CR-V owner in New York is sounding the alarm after thieves allegedly stole a key part from her leased 2024 CR-V, leaving her vehicle disabled and forcing a costly repair dispute with the dealer and Honda Financial Services just days before Christmas.
In a TikTok video, creator @Geenimars shared her experience and frustrations, urging other drivers to be aware of a theft trend that experts say is happening across the country. In the video, she begins with a warning: “If you have a CR-V, Honda CR-V, they’re stealing the radar, which is the logo and the radar that’s behind it.” She then turns the camera on her own vehicle, showing where the Honda badge and associated radar module had been removed and exposing the grille. “It’s gonna look like this,” she says, capturing the damage that followed the theft.
