I bought the car brand new in September 2016. I’ve never had the first problem with it. (160,000 miles) Last Thursday as I’m pulling out of a parking lot, it goes into neutral and has been stuck there. The gear shifter moves just fine through gears but never actually goes into gear. It has fluid and whatever is suppose to move under the hood when you shift, moves. Someone has “looked” at it for me. I know nothing about cars. It’s in line to be looked at but might be a few days. Just curious if anyone has had this problem or knows what could be wrong.
This is my thought as well, and OP is just outside the extended warranty. If your dealership is really nice, they may work with you on that. Dealerships like that seem to be harder and harder to come by though.
OP does not specify CVT trans but, as mentioned in previous posts, that does sound like a CVT trans failure.
OP also does not mention CVT transmission service. Fluid and filter changes.
Also no mention of the CVT trans recall despite 160000 miles.
Also no mention of warning lights on the dash cluster.

If the speedometer registers but the car doesn't move when you put it in D, could be a halfshaft disconnected from the transmission. I seen it happen twice on an Accord. If the speedometer doesn't register, most likely transmission.
So you got US$6000 on trade in and no CVT trans warranty coverage.
That means about US$5000 actual cash value for your 2016 HRV with 160, 000miles and a failed CVT trans.
The Honda dealer likely said that the CVT trans was not covered by warranty.
I hope you contested that with them and with Honda Customer support.
Due to the high failure rate of the HRV CVT trans and the subsequent Honda recall, I suspect that Honda would have covered the repair.
Despite the fact that the CVT recall only extends the warranty to 150,000 miles.
The value of a 2016 HRV with 160,000miles (say an AWD EX in average shape) is about US$12000 in my area.
I hope the OP put in a reasonable effort for warranty coverage before accepting the dealer's trade in offer.
You can see how the numbers worked for the dealer.
