2012 Honda CR-V complaints

FIRST OFF WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON THEN GOES OFF. THIS IS RANDOM IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT I HAVE NOTICED IT MORE WHEN I TURN A CURVE IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE LEFT BLINKER GOES BACK AND FORTH FROM BLINKING FAST LIKE THERE IS A BAD BULB TO BLINKING NORMAL THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I'VE CHECK THE BULBS AND EVEN REPLACED THEM THINKING MAYBE IM JUST NOT SEEING A BAD BULB AND IT STILL DOING IT. IM NOT TO CONCERNED WITH THE BLINKER PROBLEM BUT I AM WITH THE AIR BAGS LIGHT. THE TWO MAYBE RELATED IM NOT SURE. I DO KNOW BOTH COULD BE DANGEROUS. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JANUARY 2015 REPLACED BATTERY BOUGHT NEW ON NOVEMBER 2015 AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 4 TIMES SINCE. LAST TIME NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AUGUST OF 2019 BATTERY DEAD AGAIN IN APRIL 2020. *TR

ENGINE RATTLES AT COLD START SINCE 2016. CAR WAS STATIONARY. FINALLY DIAGNOSED IN 2020, THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS, ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSES WERE REPLACED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED LIGHT INDICATOR DID NOT LIGHT UP TO SHOW THERE WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM.*JB

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE STEERING BECAME VERY TIGHT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. AN INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED BRIEFLY ON THE DASH AND THEN WENT OUT AGAIN AND THE STEERING BECAME NORMAL. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROX 25 MILES PER HOUR IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY AGAIN. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN FOUND ONLINE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT SEEMS AS IF HONDA HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR FIT MODEL AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THIS MUST BE DEALT WITH AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST IN AN ACCIDENT.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SWITCH FAILED AND LOST BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT EXACTLY SAME MOMENT. CLEARLY A SAFETY RISK FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I SEE HONDA HAS RECALLED THIS SWITCH IN PAST MODELS. FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.

GO TO USE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK DOOR. KEY TURNS FREELY BUT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. FROM WHAT I AM READING THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR MY YEAR MODEL CRV.

I WENT THROUGH TWO WINDSHIELDS MADE BY HONDA FOR THIS CAR. I GET A CHIP OR CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD ALMOST MONTHLY. I'VE ALSO OWNED A HONDA ELEMENT AND HONDA CIVIC. EVERY SINGLE WINDSHIELD MADE BY HONDA IS EXACTLY THE SAME. THE CHIPS ARE A DANGER TO VISIBILITY AND TO THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE WINDSHIELD DURING AN ACCIDENT. FOR THE LATEST WINDSHIELD, I WENT TO HENDERSON GLASS AND THEY INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET WINDSHIELD NOT MADE BY HONDA. I'VE HAD THE NEW WINDSHIELD FOR 6 MONTHS NOW AND NOT ONE SINGLE CHIP FOR CRACK. I'M FINDING BLOGS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH HUNDREDS OF HONDA OWNERS ALL IN THE SAME BOAT. SOMEBODY PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT HONDA WINDSHIELDS. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA WHEN I OWNED THE HONDA ELEMENT. I HAD SENT IN RECEIPTS FOR 3 WINDSHIELDS AND MULTIPLE CHIP REPAIRS ON ALL OF THEM AND WAS AWARDED OVER $1000 FROM THAT. BUT, HONDA NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELDS. I BOUGHT A NEW ONE AFTER THAT THE CHIPS PERSISTED EVERY SINGLE MONTH. THE CHIPS HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY, ON REGULAR ROADS, DIRT ROADS AND AND ANYWHERE AND ANY TIME THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I'M BEGGING SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING, PLEASE!!!!!!

VTC ACTUATOR GRINDING ON COLD START. REPORTED TO HONDA. PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED OUT OF POCKET AT A COST OF $1443.83 ON 9/24/18 AT 111,863 MILES. AT 122,000 MILES STARTED HAVING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER SEVERAL MISDIAGNOSIS BY HARE HONDA, DETERMINED SAME ISSUE AS 2011 TSB A12-089 PROBLEM WITH STICKING PISTON RINGS. REQUIRES FULL ENGINE REBUILD QUOTED AT $2000. IF NOT FIXED CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.

I DROVE MY CAR AS USUAL ON NOV, 15, 2019, WENT HOME, AND PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY OF MY HOUSE. BUT ON NOV, 16, 2019 AROUND NOON, I STARTED MY CAR, AND THE EPS INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON FROM MY DASH BOARD, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY TIGHT, VERY HEAVY, CAN BARELY TURN. I CAN EASILY CAUSE INCIDENT FROM IT.

2012 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, AN ABNORMAL LOUD RATTLING NOISE IS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA CITY DEALER LOCATED IN LEVITOWN NY WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $750 TO THE OWNER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PART. THE NOISE APPEARED WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE BUT SAID THERE WAS NO PERMANENT FIX YET AND TO CALL BACK WHEN THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000 WHICH WAS LESS THAN THE WARRANTY MILAGE OF 60,000. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART THAT CAN CAUSE FURTHER ENGINE DAMAGE OR FAILURE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. POOR RESPONSE BY HONDA.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT HEAT NOR DEFROST DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DUE TO HEATER CORE PROBLEM. IT'S GETTING WORSE EACH WINTER. I NOW NEED TO DRIVE WITH A BLANKET! ALSO, EXTREMELY LOUD GRINDING NOISE UPON COLD START. STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND IS REALLY CONCERNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GWINNETT PLACE HONDA (3325 SATELLITE BLVD, DULUTH, GA 30096, (678) 274-6206) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT THE SALVAGE YARD. THE PHONE IS 925.370.3900 THE STOCK NUMBER IS 4363519

TAKATA RECALL: ON 7/20/19 1420 HRS, I WAS DRIVING NORTH/EAST ON CA HWY 121 AT APROX 40 MPH THROUGH A YIELD TURN. A CHP OFFICER CALLED TO CHASE A SPEEDING VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HIT HIM SQUARE ON HIS DRIVERS SIDE. MY STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG ONLY PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. ALL OTHERS DEPLOYED. MY RIGHT SHOULDER SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL, MY RIGHT HAND SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT LACERATIONS. HONDA IS NON-RESPONSIVE TO MY REQUEST TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. MY CASE NUMBER 09740188. *TT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

THERE'S A GRINDING NOISE THAT FOLLOWS THE START OF THE ENGINE. THIS ISSUE BEGAN 2 YEARS AGO DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. TOOK IT TO HONDA TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO RECREATE THE SOUND AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT'S NOW DOING IT ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO HONDA AGAIN, BUT I WILL WHEN I HAVE THE TIME AND MONEY TO FIX IT. INITIAL VIEWING OF THIS SITE SHOWS A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUE. HAVEN'T DONE ANY FURTHER RESEARCH TO SEE IF THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED OR HANDLED BY HOND. I WILL ONCE I FINISH THIS POST. HOPEFULLY, HONDA IS DOING OR WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND HESITATED TO MOVE. WHEN FUEL WAS ADDED, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AND DRIVE NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA KINGSPORT (LOCATED AT 2217 E STONE DR, KINGSPORT, TN 37660, (423) 358-2519) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN CHANGED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PERFORMED AN UPDATE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO HONDA KINGSPORT AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,500.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WE HAD TROUBLE LOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB REMOTE. WE MANUALLY LOCKED THE CAR DOORS. WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE CAR WE WERE UNABLE TO OPEN ANY OF THE CAR DOORS OR TRUNK USING THE KEY FOB REMOTE. WE TRIED THE PHYSICAL KEY IN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THAT ALSO DID NOT OPEN. A AAA LOCKSMITH WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR.

GRINDING NOISE WHEN COLD STARTING AND IT HAS BEGUN TO STALL THE ENGINE.

WHILE PARKING MY CAR AS I WAS TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT ON REVERSE THE BREAK PEDAL SUNK TO THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON EMERGENCY BRAKE PUT IT IN PARK, NOTICED FLUID PUDDLE ON RIGHT FRONT SIDE. WALKED TO AUTO MECH A BLOCK AWAY . THEY PICKED UP CAR NEXT DAY SINCE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ,.FRONT BRAKE HOSE WAS TORN FROM WEAR OUT . ASKED MECHANIC WHAT CAUSED IT , CLAIMED THE HOSE IS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND WHEN TURNING CREATES TENSION SHOULD TALK TO HONDA AND IN HIS 20 YRS. EXP.DIDN'T SEE THIS AND THAT I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T ON HIGHWAY ,WHEN ASKED IF HE USED A LONGER HOSE HE SAID THERE'S ONLY 1 TYPE FOR THIS VEHICLE TOOK.. USUALLY USE HIGHWAYS DUE TO MY JOB BUT THANKFULLY I WAS OFF THAT DAY.

EXPERING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OF HONDA TSB NUMBER A09-010. CAR ONLY HAS 79K ON IT.AM GETTING NO WHERE WITH LOCAL DEALERS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO HONDA! CAN I GET A GOODWILL REPAIR, AS THIS IS MY SIXTH HONDA I HAVE BOUGHT AND I CERTAINLY DO NOT EXPECT THIS FROM HONDA.

TRANSMISSION IS NOT GOOD TOO BAD

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOLLOWING USE OF ELECTRIC REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 30 DEGREES F, ACTIVE FREEZING DRIZZLE. STARTED THE ENGINE AND WITHOUT DELAY BEGAN DRIVING AND THEN TURNED ON REAR WINDOW ELECTRIC HEAT SWITCH TO IMPROVE REAR VISIBILITY, WHICH WORKED. I LEFT THE SWITCH ON UNTIL WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION ABOUT 8 TO 10 MINUTES LATER, PARKED THE CAR INSIDE A GARAGE, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, EXITED, ALL VEHICLE WINDOWS SEEMED INTACT WHEN WE DEPARTED THE CAR. WE DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY OBJECT OR EXPERIENCE ANY IMPACT. WE WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE, THEN BY REMOTE CONTROL CLOSED THE GARAGE DOOR. NEXT MORNING I WENT INTO THE GARAGE AND DISCOVERED A LARGE HOLE IN THE REAR WINDOW, BROKEN GLASS THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR REAR OF THE CRV, ON THE FLOOR OF THE GARAGE AROUND THE REAR OF THE CAR, AND WHEN I OPENED THE OVERHEAD GARAGE DOOR, DISCOVERED BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER THE GROUND AS MUCH AS SIX FEET OUTSIDE THE GARAGE DOOR, AS THOUGH THE FORCEFUL WINDOW BREAKAGE HAD OCCURRED IN THE FEW MINUTES AFTER WE LEFT THE CAR AND BEFORE THE GARAGE DOOR HAD CLOSED. HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THEY DO NOT WORK ON WINDOW GLASS. THE COMMERCIAL WINDOW GLASS TECHNICIAN WHO REPLACED THE WINDOW STATED THAT THIS WINDOW HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE.

CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AFTER APPLYING BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT - FELT LIKE CAR KINDA JOLTED AND BRAKE FELT HARDENED, AFTER RETRYING IT WAS ALL FINE. HAPPENED THIS AGAIN TO MY WIFE TWICE WHILE SHE WAS PULLING THE CAR OUT OF PARKING LOT AND HAD TO PULL BACK IN, CAR ACCELERATED, ON NEXT TRY IT WAS FINE. TAKING IT TO HONDA SERVICE TOMORROW.

FAULTY VTC ACTUATOR, GRINDING NOISE ON STARTING THE CAR EVERYDAY IN THE MORNINGS. DEALER HAVE A $600.00 ESTIMATE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND NOT COVERED UNDER STANDARD WARRANTY. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

AFTER OWNING FOR 5 YEARS, DURING WINTER MONTHS A LOUD RATTLE SOUNDED EACH AND EVERY TIME THE MOTOR WAS TURNED ON. IT DID NOT MATTER IF ENGINE WAS COLD OR NOT. I TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID FOR $699 THEY WOULD TRY AND FIX BUT NO GUARANTEES AND COULD STILL EXIST. I SPOKE TO DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHO SAID IF I CONTINUED WITHOUT GETTING IT REPAIRED, IT COULD RUIN THE ENGINE. I CALLED THE CORP OFFICE TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT. I WAS FORCED TO SELL THE CAR. I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION

THE DRIVER SIDE DEFROSTER WILL NOT BLOW HOT AIR. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IN ORDER TO HAVE PROPER VISIBILITY DURING WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN THE WEATHER SUDDENLY CHANGES WHILE DRIVING AND THE WINDSHIELD STARTS TO FROST OVER. THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER PERFORMED TSB 14-063 WHICH FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE WITH CLR AND FRESH WATER. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING EXTREMELY HOT AIR, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE IS COOL. THIS TSB WAS ISSUED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 FOR A 2012 VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY A HEATER CORE SHOULD NOT BE CLOGGED WITH CONTAMINANTS AFTER 2 YEARS WHILE RUNNING APPROVED HONDA ANTIFREEZE IN THE COOLING/HEATING SYSTEM. THE TSB ALSO EXPLAINS TO THE TECHNICIAN HOW TO CHECK FOR PROPER MOVEMENT OF THE MIXTURE DOOR FOR FRESH AIR. HONDA SAYS THAT THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO PAY FOR A HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT WITH A COST OF OVER $1200. IF THIS HAS BEEN A LONG-TERM WELL-KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA THEY SHOULD PAY TO FIX THE ISSUE SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURERING ISSUE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH GREATLY AFFECTS VISIBILITY IN WINTER, WHICH CAN ALSO MAKE THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE IF THE WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE DEFROSTED. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR HOURS, THE DRIVER SIDE STILL BLOWS COOLER AIR UNLIKE THE PASSENGER SIDE.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND HEAD LIGHT FREQUENT REPLACEMENY

LOW HEAT ON DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR COMPARED TO PASSENGER SIDE CAUSED BY CLOG IN THE HEATER CORE. I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM/DEFECT. IT CAUSES SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER DEFROSTING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAT DECREASES VISIBILITY IF SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE OVER 30 MINUTES TO LET THE CAR IDLE LONG ENOUGH TO DEFROST IN COLD WEATHER. NOT ONLY DOES IT WASTE GAS BUT IT IS NOW A FINEABLE OFFENSE TO LEAVE A CAR IDLING OUTSIDE YOUR HOME OR WORK WHERE I LIVE.

1) WATER LEAKING IN THE TRUNK FROM THE TETHER COMPARTMENT AND GETTING BACK TRUNK WET 2) WATER LEAKS IN THE TRUNK AREA WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN THROUGH THE CAR WASH UNSURE IF THIS WOULD BE A WORKMANSHIP ISSUE

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. I HAD TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL WHEN IT LOCKED

THERE IS A BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL NOT KEEP IT CHARGED. THE ALTERNATOR HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED EARLY. BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON BECAUSE IT JUST CAN'T KEEP CHARGED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE CALLED ME FROM A PARKING LOT MILES AWAY FROM MY LOCATION WITH A DEAD BATTERY. I DON'T LIKE HER DRIVING WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MULTIPLE BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY A "FIX" FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BUT SOME ONLINE REPORT THAT IT DOES NOT WORK. I REALIZE HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO DO A RECALL UNLESS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE; HOWEVER, IF MY WIFE IS STRANDED SOMEWHERE BY HERSELF IN THIS VEHICLE THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL...WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE @ 30MPH MY CAR STARTS TO MAKE THIS WEIRD NOISE ALMOST LIKE THE NOISE IS WHEN YOU VEAR OFF THE ROAD AND HIT THE BUMPS.I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2018 AND ASKED WHAT GAS WAS I USING AS SOON AS I MENTIONED WALMART AND RACETRAC HE STATED THATS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND I NEEDED TO BRING IT IN FOR A CHECKUP.I MADE SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS ON THEIR WEBSITE ,1 SAT APPOINTMENT THAT I HAD TO RESET TILANOTHER SAT APPOINTMENT THEN I GOT A CALL STATING THAT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING THEY NEEDED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN DURING THE WORK WEEK HOURS TO HAVE MORE TIME.NOTHING EVER MENTIONED ABOUT THE POWER TRAIN OF THE VEHICLE.AT THIS TIME I HAD ABOUT 72,000 MILES UNDER 80,000 I COULD NOT AFFORD THE FEE THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME AT THE TIME SO I CANCELED THE APPOINTMENT. NOW I HAVE THE MONEY TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER AND WHEN THIS NICE GUY PICKED UP THE PHONE HE LETS ME KNOW THEY ARE INDEED HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I NEED TO GET IT IN ASAP TO BE PUT ON THE COMPUTER FOR AN UPDATE THAT IS COVERED UNDER MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 80,000 MILE..ARE YOU SERIOUS!! OF COURSE I AM NOW AT 90,000 MILES.I INFORM HIM THAT I READ UP ON THIS ISSUE AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT THEY HAD THAT DONE AND IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM,HE THEN SAID WELL THE 2ND PART WOULD BE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER OR YOU SERIOUS.....SO NOW THAT I AM OVER THE MILAGE FOR THE WARRANTY I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS BUT HAD I BEEN TOLD T

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VTC ON MANY HONDAS FROM 2008-2014. HONDA IS ONLY COVERING THE ISSUE UNDER THE STANDARD WARRANTY THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

THE 2012 HONDA CRV HAS STARTED TO VIBRATE IN THE FRONT END. I HAVE HAD THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND TIRES CHECKED. NOTHING IS REPORTED FOUND AS AN ISSUE. IT STARTS TO VIBRATE AT RANDOM SPEEDS AND WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS IT STOPS. ONLY THEN CAN YOU RE-ENGAGE THE GAS PEDAL. I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY BECAUSE OF THIS.

EVERY MORNING FOR ALMOST OVER A YEAR I WOULD START MY 2012 HONDA CRY. IT WOULD RATTLE LIKE THE MUFFLER WAS LOOSE. I WOULD LAST UNTIL IT WAS WARM UP. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW LASTING LONGER. I HAD MY CAR SERVICE THIS SUMMER AND HAD MY TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACE ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE UPDATE ON THE COMPUTER. THE NOISE NEVER DISAPPEARED. FOUND OUT THAT THE NOISE IS ACTUALLY VTC AND THERE US A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS. BUT, NOW MY CAR IS OVER THE MILES. WHAT CAN YOU HELP ME OUT WITH THIS? COMMUNICATION NUMBER: A09-010, DATE: 2017-02-25 CATEGORY: 060000 ENGINE (PWS) SUMMARY: SERVICE BULLETIN - AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. READ MORE AT: HTTPS://WWW.OBD-CODES.COM/TSB/2012/HONDA/CR_V/ COPYRIGHT OBD-CODES.COM

RATTLE/GRINDING NOISE ON COLD STARTS. AT FIRST, IT WAS ONLY ON VERY COLD MORNINGS, WHICH WE DON'T USUALLY HAVE HERE IN THE SOUTH (ALABAMA); HOWEVER, TODAY, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. IT'S A FRIGHTENING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TEARING UP THE ENGINE. THERE ARE VIDEOS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ SOMETHING ABOUT A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, AS WELL, ALTHOUGH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THAT.

ENGINE RATTLES AT COLD START-UP - VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE HONDA DEALER (CRISWELL HONDA, GERMANTOWN MD) DOING THE MAINTENANCE SAYS THAT I HAVE GONE PAST THE WARRANTY. BUT I HAVE BEEN THERE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICE BEFORE AND MENTIONED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY DID NOT FIX IT OR EXPLAINED TO ME THE ISSUES. THEY ARE CHARGING ME $800 NOW FOR THIS. BASED ON CURRENT SEARCH IN GOOGLE, THIS IS WHAT I FIND. PLEASE HELP HONDA TSB NUMBER:A09-010.V4 NHTSA NUMBER:10087883TSB DATE:MARCH 17, 2016 FAILING COMPONENT: ENGINE (PWS) SUMMARY: SERVICE BULLETIN - REPLACE THE VTC ACTUATOR IF THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR 2 SECONDS DURING COLD START-UP.

HEAT ON LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE DOES NOT BLOW OUT HOT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DIAGNOSED PROBLEM WITH THE 2012-2014 HONDA CR-V. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALL. EXPECT MORE OUT OF A HONDA WITH 65,000 MILES! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DEFROSTER WILL NOT DEFROST THE WINDOW....

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE RUNNING LIGHTS TURN OFF BY THEMSELF.

DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT WAS BLOWING SLIGHTLY WARM WHILE PASSENGER SIDE WAS HOT HAD TO PAY OVER300 TO GET THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED WHEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE MODELS WAS SOLD THIS WAY FROM A HONDA DEALER THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE WINDOW IS UNABLE TO CLEARLY DEFROST THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED PAST 40 MPH, THE VIBRATION DISAPPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,800.

AT 40 MPH VEHICLE RUMBLES. IT ALSO FEELS ROUGH RIDE, FEELS BUMPY ON A SMOOTH ROAD. ALSO GIVES AT IDLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE THIS FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME BUT IT HAS BEEN RESCINDED. ROSS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS

THIS CHRONIC ISSUE STARTED WITH A SLOW CRANK AND THEN A NO START AND AAA REPLACED THE BATTERY ON 3/6/16. TWO WEEKS AGO ON AUGUST 23RD THE CAR WOULD NOT START IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I JUMPED THE BATTERY AND THEN HAD AAA TEST THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE CHARGING SYSTEM, LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR AS IT WAS CHARGING THE BATTERY INTERMITTENTLY. THEY JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AT BILL PAGE HONDA. THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN WARRANTY AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ON SEPTEMBER 6TH THE CAR HAD A SLOW CRANK AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 7TH THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO HONDA AND THEY ARE PRESENTLY INSISTING THAT THE ISSUE IS A DEAD BATTERY. HOWEVER, IF THE BATTERY WAS FINE TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE ISSUE IS KNOWN TO BE WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM, IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE CONCERN IS NOT THE BATTERY, BUT THE SYSTEM THAT REGULATES THE ALTERNATOR'S CHARGING OF THE BATTERY ITSELF. THE VEHICLE IS IN WARRANTY, HOWEVER, MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER BE IN WARRANTY WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS AGAIN IF THE BATTERY IS JUST REPLACED (I AVERAGE ABOUT 2 YEARS ON A BATTERY). ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS A DIAGNOSIS OF EXCLUSION AND ALL OTHER THINGS MUST BE RULED OUT BEFORE YOU CAN DETERMINE THE ACTUAL CAUSE.

RATTLE NOISE ON COLD START UP. VTC ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AFTER 10;000 MILES. FROM MY READING AND SPEAKING TO SEVERAL AUTO MECHANICS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA OF AMERICA HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM ADEQUATELY. I THINK A RECALL OF THIS ENGINE OR AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE REQUIRED.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I DEPRESS THE EX THE CAR VIBRATES , AND FEELS LIFE IF IT WILL CUT OF NO ONE CAN FINE THE PROBLEM AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS , AND NO CODES COME UP WHEN SCAN

GRINDING NOISE UPON COLD START. THIS ISSUE STARTED AT LEAST TWO YEARS AGO. DID NOT HAPPEN ON EVERY START. ASKED DEALERSHIP WHAT IT MIGHT BE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING. OVER THE PAST YEAR, NOISE HAPPENS RELIGIOUSLY EVERY TIME THERE IS A COLD START. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR AND I AM NOW PAST MY WARRANTY. IT APPEARS THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED MARCH 2016. WHY HAS NO RECALL BEEN MADE SINCE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE? CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT 3/ 2018 DID NOT INCLUDE THE CRV'S

PRIOR TO ACCIDENT, VEHICLE HAD NO ISSUES AND WAS SERVICED ROUTINELY. THERE WERE 2 INDIVIDUALS IN THE CAR AND ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON A TWO LANE STATE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES FROM RESIDENCE. THE WEATHER WAS HOT AND SUNNY ON THE MID-AFTERNOON OF THE ACCIDENT. DRIVER NOTICED SPUTTERING IN THE CAR AND DECIDED TO U-TURN TO RETURN TO RESIDENCE. AS DRIVER CONTINUED, SPUTTERING WORSENED AND SOMEBODY DROVE ALONGSIDE AND YELLED THAT THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE LEAKING GAS. VERY SOON AFTER, WHILE CAR WAS DRIVING AT 5MPH, THE CAR HAD AN EXPLOSION AND FLAMES CAME THROUGH THE PASSENGER WINDOW. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE BURNED AND MEDEVAC'D TO LOCAL BURN CENTER. PASSENGER RECEIVED SEVERE 2ND AND 3RD DEGREE BURNS ON UPPER HALF OF BODY. DRIVER ALSO RECEIVED BURNS BUT NOT AS SEVERE. EACH MANAGED TO EXIT VEHICLE BEFORE THE BEING ENGULFED BY FLAMES. VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNREPAIRABLE AND DESTROYED. FIRE MARSHAL REPORT AS FURTHER DETAILS ON POSSIBLE ORIGINS OF THE CAR FIRE.
