Vehicle Won't Move When in Gear (Brake/Steering Issue)
The 2020 Honda CR-V is in gear but will not move, with the engine warm. This suggests a transmission or drivetrain problem, possibly related to a failed CV axle, transmission failure, or a stuck brake caliper. The steering issue may indicate a separate problem or be linked to a seized component.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Seized brake caliper or parking brake stuck, preventing wheel rotation
CV axle failure (broken or stripped splines) causing loss of drive
Transmission failure (e.g., torque converter, valve body, or internal damage)
Steering rack or power steering issue causing binding, though less likely to prevent movement

What You Should Do
Do not attempt to force the vehicle.
Check if the parking brake is fully released.
Inspect for visible brake caliper seizure (e.g., one wheel hot after attempted movement).
If safe, try shifting to neutral and see if the vehicle rolls freely.
If not, have the vehicle towed to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis of brakes, axles, and transmission.
