2013 Honda CR-V complaints

My 2013 Honda CR-V EXL AWD started shuttering at slow take off speed just before shifting into 2nd gear and just before 3rd gear. It had around 76,000 miles on it. Looked up forums about this and contacted dealership to make appointment. On 06/20/2022 I had the transmission flushed and new fluid and they said that was the first thing that they would recommend to do. They said no software update was available. Solution lasted only a week. The shutter started back so I checked fluid and it appeared low so I took back to dealership and yes I checked after it was warm, when I got it to dealership it was at the right level, puzzling maybe it wasn’t on level surface when I checked ,nonetheless, I told them the shutter was back and they said it sounded like torque converter was bad and needed replacement but they didn’t have time to do a diagnosis and it would cost me to get diagnosed. I’ll have to get another appointment. The very next day the shutter is way worse than before and it made a weird noise in reverse. This shutter is dangerous not only is it a distraction but if you pull out in front of someone thinking you have enough time and this occurs it could cause a life threatening problem. I hope Honda will recall for this issue. I’ve seen where it has been and still is an issue for several year models not only 2013.

For the past few months my car vibrates whenever i decrease in speed or change to lower gears. The whole car vibrates. I have brought it to the dealer recently and they advised of faulty transmission after i paid for diagnostic /inspection. There has also been several incidents where the car has been stuck in park. It even happened when i placed the car in park while at a stoplight.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and shuddering. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact drove to a local mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the rear axles needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,000.

Engine makes rattling sound on cold start-up. VTC actuator found to be defective by Honda mechanic and replaced. Vehicle vibrates/shudders when at a stop. Mechanic also found timing chain was off by one tooth and was fixed. Vibration/shuddering continues despite repairs. Vibration is noticeable on front seats. Concerned about engine and safety as engine causes seats to vibrate.

The contact's mother owns a 2013 Honda CR-V. The contact's mother informed him that she had experienced hesitation between shifting gear and the indication shown on the gear selector. There was no warning light illuminated. His mother also informed him that the vehicle would stall upon the depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and they informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V143000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

I don't know what's wrong with it, it has been shuddering on low speeds. I just bought it yesterday and I'm devasted that I just got a 16,000 car and the same night I'm driving it and it's doing this. I have done research and this is no doubt a defect in many other people's car. This needs to be addressed how is this not a serious defeat and safety issue. You start off or pull out from a red light and it doesn't want to go, this IS a safety/accident concern. Please respond and please help. Honda has always been one of the best vehicles I have owned 5 in my lifetime, but I seen many many reviews with people pleading for Honda to fix this issue and they are turning their backs...not good for Honda to say the least. Regards, Teresa

The car periodically shudders during acceleration on smooth road services over the last 2 years. Initially, I thought the vibration was due to changes in road surface. However, I notice the vibration or shuddering occurs with acceleration-in 2nd or 3rd gear. When I take my foot off the gas pedal, the vibration/shuddering disappears. Other family members were telling me this is a transmission problem when this problem first occurred. On Honda vehicle blogs, I see this complaint is echoed by other 2013 Honda CRV owners. I contacted Honda today. They told me there is no national campaign or recall for my vehicle regarding this issue. They will create a case for this complaint but at this time, they will not offer me assistance with the repair. CRV's from other model years have had this issue and recalls were initiated. Please offer me the same support from Honda for the same problem. Years ago, we had a 1991 Honda Accord that developed a transmission problem. We arranged for the repair of the transmission. Years later we found out there was a recall for the same issue for which we were not notified. After many calls and letters, Honda eventually reimbursed us for that repair. Please assist us with our current problem. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 25-35 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering inadvertently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

Transmission shakes or quivers around 25-30 mph. At speed above 35mph right rear suspension (axle) shakes, quivers. I was checking For a recall because of all the complaints of same issues on honda owners website. The car is becoming unsafe to drive. This is the first effort I have made to research problem. The Honda website indicated a 2013 crv Recall but not for my vin number.

When I slowed down when approaching a stop sign the engine revved up high. I was able to stop by braking but eventually had to turn off the engine and luckily when restarting it ran normally.

It’s vibrating while accelerating at low speeds between 20mph till 40mph the shaking is horrible when i went to honda they told me i have to change the fluid but not grantee to fix thus problem

The car needs a major alignment out of nowhere, swereves to the right. Also problems with the transmission.

The Honda CR-V shudders under light acceleration between 25 and 35 MPH. This problem seems endemic to all generations of Honda CR-V's, not just mine, and apparently Honda has known about this for some time but hasn't informed owners, just dealers. It should have been part of a recall paid for by Honda. I just found out about it recently, after 8 years of ownership

The contact owns a 2013 HONDA CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 25 MPH, the vehicle would vibrate without warning. The vibration would stop once the contact began to drive above 25 MPH. The contact had taken the vehicle to two separate independent mechanics who were unable to diagnose the failure. The contact had minor repairs performed on the vehicle by each mechanic; however, the failure persisted after each repair. The dealer nor the manufacturer have yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

VEHICLE STATIONARY. VARIABLE TIMING CHAIN ACTUATOR (VTC ACTUATOR) STARTED TO GRIND UPON ENGINE STARTS AT 90K. HAD THE VTC REPLACED FOR $700 AND WITHIN A YEAR IT FAILED AGAIN CAUSING THE SAME GRINDING NOISE UPON ENGINE STARTS. DEALER THEN REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS FOR $1200 SAYING THAT WAS THE ISSUE CAUSING THE NOISE. NEXT MORNING THE CAR IS MAKING THE SAME GRINDING NOISE. TOOK BACK TO DEALER BUT APPARENTLY THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE SOUND. VIDEO RECORDED THE SOUND TO SEND THEM. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE: TSB 16-012 I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2013 AND HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT HONDA. I SPENT OVER $2000 TRYING TO HAVE THIS FIXED AT THE DEALER AND THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I WANT TO SELL THIS VEHICLE BUT CAN'T ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE TO BUY A DEFECTIVE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THROUGH A CAR WASH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. *JS

MY GEAR SHIFTER MOVES FORWARD WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE SIDE RELEASE WITH MINIMAL FORCE. I AM CONCERNED THAT A CHILD OR SOMEONE REACHING ACROSS CONSOLE COULD PUT THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR. THIS HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WHEN I PRESSED THE SHIFTER INADVERTENTLY WITH MINIMAL FORCE,. MY VEHICLE REPORT STATES THAT THERE ARE NO UNREPAIRED ITEMS WHEN I CHECKED NHTSA WHICH PROMPTED MY REPORT,

ONE COLD WINTER MORNING, MY ENGINE LIGHT, POWER TRAIN AND STEERING WHEEL WARNING SIGNS ALL TURNED ON. I HAD CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS STILL 40% FULL. I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR WAS MOVING SLOW NOT MORE THAN 20MPH. ALSO THE GAS GALLON INDICATOR WENT FROM 36MPG TO 20MPG. IT IS BURNING WAY MORE GAS THAN IT WAS. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND OUT THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR HONDA CR-V MODEL. I KNOW IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING THE CAR AROUND ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR MOVES SLOWER THAN IT USUALLY DOES. IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING IT AT ALL TILL WE GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH REAR HATCH NOT OPENING WHEN COLD OUTSIDE; I LIVE IN MICH. THUS HAVE COLD WINTERS; NO PROBLEM WHEN WARM. PROBLEM STARTED IN 2017. I PD TO HAVE IT REPLACED 12/28/17; FAIL AGAIN 12/10/18 DEALER REPLACED AS UNDER WARRANTY; FAILED AGAIN 12/10/19 OUT OF WARRANTY(FRM 12/28/17)- SO HONDA WON'T FIX. IN REVIEWING INTERNET THE LATCH PROBLEM IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WHEN COLD O/S. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA - THEN PANDEMIC HIT--JUST NOW REOPENING COMPLAINT- CASE#10291529- & AS THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A CONSTANT COMPLAINT FRM MANY OTHERS; HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN 16-063 TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND SUPPOSEDLY HAVE A REDESIGNED LATCH. BUT IT ONLY COVER VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY. THUS I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE NEW IMPROVED PART, WHEN THE ORIGINAL AND REPLACEMENT PART WERE1 BAD IN THE PAST.. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO THE REAR/TRUCK OF YOUR CAR IS A SAFELY HAZARD IN THE WINTER-REAR TRUCK IS WHERE YOU KEEP THE SPARE TIRE, EMERG. SUPPLIES,ETC. (& STORE ITEMS /GROCERIES,LUGGAGE,ETC )

HONDA PAINT IS STRIPPING RIGHT OFF THE BODY. HONDA PAINT IS FADING AND LOSING METALLIC FINISH. HONDA PAINT HAS OTHER RECALLS BUT NOT MY MAKE AND MODEL.

AS LIKE OTHER REPORTS MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A LARGE RATTLING SOUND FOR YEARS AND IT'S GETTING WORSE AND FROM WHAT I'VE LOOKED UP IT CAN BE VERY BAD AND EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND HONDA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO OUR CARS AND DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS SHOULD NOT BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR A DEFECT. I AM ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME VTC ACTUATOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH CAR BEGINS TO JERK AND VIBRATE. HAVE TO INCREASE SPEED TO MAKE IT STOP.1

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SHAKES UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS.

WHEN STARTING COLD, AS SITTING OVERNIGHT, TURN KEY ,GRINDING NOISE FROM ENGINE, ONLY TIME IT HAPPENS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHERE ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED; A TIRE ROD WAS REPLACED; THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED AND ALIGNED; AND THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED. DESPITE THE NUMEROUS REPAIRS, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT THEN SPOKE WITH HAGERSTOWN HONDA (10307 AUTO PL, HAGERSTOWN, MD 21740) ABOUT THE FAILURE AND WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE AT HER OWNS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT HONDA IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COSTS OF KNOWN PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THE ISSUE IS THE VCT ACTUATOR WHICH RESULTS IN A VERY LOUD METALLIC RATTLING ON A COLD START. I HAVE HAD THE VCT ACTUATOR REPLACED TWO TIMES. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO COVER THE SECOND TIME AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER FINALLY DID. IT THEN OF COURSE HAPPENED AGAIN. I ALSO HAD A SECOND KNOWN PROBLEM, (JUTTERING, WHICH IS A VIBRATION/SHAKING WHILE DRIVING/ACCELERATING AT LOWER SPEEDS) WHICH THEY FIXED ONCE, AGAIN, IT ALSO CAME BACK. LAST YEAR THE DRIVE SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND NOW ONCE AGAIN, THE VCT ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN, THIS IS A KNOWN HONDA PROBLEM THAT THEY REFUSE TO FIX AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS HAS AFFECTED A LOT OF PEOPLE, JUST READ THE MESSAGE BOARDS WHICH ARE FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO EITHER LIVE WITH THE RIDICULOUSLY LOUD RATTLING OR CONTINUE TO PAY TO REPAIR A FAULTY ITEM WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS FOR YEARS, NEVER AGAIN! BASICALLY I AM STUCK WITH A NOISY CAR THAT SHAKES WITH ACCELERATION AND I EITHER KEEP PAYING TO FIX IT OR LIVE WITH IT. NEITHER IS ACCEPTABLE AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE DATE I LISTED IS 10/27/20 BUT THESE ISSUES GO BACK FURTHER, TODAY WAS JUST THE FINAL STRAW FOR ME... I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING HONDA ALTHOUGH IT CLEARLY WON'T DO ANY GOOD....

EVERY TIME MY CAR ACCELERATES IT SHAKES AND SPUTTERS AS IF IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF UNTIL I REACH A SPEED OVER 20 MPH. THIS HAPPENS AT THE INITIAL START OF A DRIVE AND ANY TIME I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 17-040. HONDA DEALER IS REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE, STATING MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. CAR IS 2013 WITH 56K. SHOULD BE COVERED BY THIS BULLETIN, AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEALER IS REFUSING SERVICE COVERAGE. THE CAR VIOLENTLY SHAKES IF NOT FULLY ACCELERATING BETWEEN 20-30 MPH.

IN LOW ACCELERATION VEHICLE SHUDDERS, I NEED TO EITHER I NEED TO CHANGE THE GEAR TO D3 OR NEED TO TAKE OUT MY LEG FROM SPEEDING PEDDLE. IT IS VERY ANNOYING. I TRIED WITH ECO MODE OFF AS WELL, STILL THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS HAPPENING FROM SEVERAL YEARS.

A SURGE, VIBRATION, OR JUDDER MAY BE FELT WHILE DRIVING UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION

LAST WINTER, MY CAR WOULD MAKE A RATTLING NOISE EVERY TIME I STARTED THE CAR. I READ ONLINE THAT DURING COLD WEATHER, THIS COULD HAPPEN. NOW THE SPRING AND SUMMER HAVE GONE BY AND THE RATTLING STILL CONTINUES EVERY TIME I START MY CAR AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN IDLE FOR A LITTLE BIT. I HAVE FURTHER READ THAT THE VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, I AM STILL SEEING REPORTS THAT THE RATTLING REAPPEARS AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS EVEN AFTER REPLACING IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FREE TO REPLACE (VS PAYING 800 DOLLARS) CONSIDERING IT DOESN'T GUARANTEE TO FIX THE ISSUE.

EXTERIOR PAINT IS FLAKING OFF SPECIFICLY ON INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ANGLES. PLASTIC COVERS ON HEADLIGHT ARE FOGGING AND PERMENANTLY ETCHED.

ENGINE RATTLES AT STARTUP, VTC ACTUATOR, AFRAID THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE START THE VEHICLE. *TR

HAD VTC REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS BACK DUE TO IT BEING DEFECTIVE, AND THE REPLACEMENT IS SHOWING IDENTICAL DEFECT THIS YEAR IN 2020. THE LOUD RATTLING SYMPTOM OCCURS UPON START UP EVEN IF THE CAR HAS BEEN OFF FOR ONLY AN HOUR. *TR

VTC ACTUATOR ISSUE NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN 16-012. THIS SHOULD BE A PRODUCT RECALL FROM HONDA. *TR

THE CAR SEEMS TO INTERMITTENTLY WOBBLE OR VIBRATE WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE WHEELS TESTED AND PURCHASED NEW TIRES. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE DEALER UPGRADE THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WHICH COSTS $250. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. WE HAVE LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TESTED THIS OVER CLEAN, NEW ROADS AND THE VIBRATING CONTINUES. THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR MONTHS. *TR

THE HEATER BLOWS COLD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND WARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX AND IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING SINCE IT IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE. WE BOUGHT A HONDA FOR THE DEPENDABILITY AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS MAY BE THE LAST.

MY CRV STARTS MAKING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT THE LOW SPEED.

TORQUE CONVERTER ON TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 66,000 MILES ALTHOUGH SYSTEMS HAVE EXISTED FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS, BUT JUST NOW DIAGNOSED

THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR ON THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE WERE DESTROYED IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES AND REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS TWICE FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS. A THIRD SET OF ROTOR AND BRAKE PADS AND A CALIPER WAS INSTALLED AND THEY FAILED WITHIN 2 WEEKS. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 78,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE CALIPER, PADS, AND ROTOR AT 35,000 MILES FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS HOLDING THE MOVEMENT OF CAR, MY FRIEND IS A MECHANIC AND TOLD ME ITS THE TRANSMISSION.THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CARE IS IN MOTION

SEAT BELTS ARE FRAYING ON PASSENGER SIDE

VEHICLE SHAKES AND STUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 0-30 MPH, WHICH IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE.

THE HEAT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE IS LOWER THAN THE HEAT FROM THE FRONT MIDDLE AND PASSANGER SIDE VENT. A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN CREATED FOR THIS SB 14-063. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR NOT HOT AT ALL AND THE DEFORESTER DOES NOT WORK. N OW THAT IT IS WINTER IT IS IMPACTS VISIBILITY AND IS DANGEROUS.

PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A HONDA DEALER, STILL UNDER THE 30,000 MILLAGE WARRANTY. TIMING CHAIN BEGAN SLIPPING AFTER A FEW MONTHS AS WEATHER GOT A BIT COLDER. BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY SAID 'THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS'. PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN A SHORT TIME THE NOISE CAME BACK AGAIN. THIS WENT ON. I GOOGLED AND FOUND THE THE TIMING CHAIN WAS A CHRONIC ISSUE IN THESE VEHICLES. FEELS LIKE ITS LOOSE. I BROUGHT IT INTO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD ITS THE TIMING CHAIN AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. CAN YOU HELP? LOTS OF THESE CARS ARE RECALLED BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST WHICH IS VERY PECULIAR.

LOUD WHINE, DRIVESHAFT REPLACED

CAR STUTTERS AT LOW SPEEDS (APPROX 20-30MPH). THIS COULD CAUSE A COLLISION IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED.

ENGINE IS RATTLING ON COLD STARTUPS MAINLY WHEN TEMP IS BELOW 40. TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE VTC ACTUATOR REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND NOW THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL.

I STARTED MY CRV ON 10/23/19 AND STARTED ON MY WAY TO WORK. WHEN I GOT ABOUT 200 YARDS I NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LIGHTS WERE. I CALLED SCHLOSSMANN HONDA CITY MILWAUKEE, WI, ASKED FOR SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I WANTED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I EXPLAINED WHAT LIGHTS WERE ON THE DASH AND INDICATED THEY JUST CAME ON THIS MORNING. THEY SAID THAT I COULD DROP OFF THE CAR THAT AFTERNOON. DROPPED OFF CAR ON 10/23/19 AT 3:45PM. LEFT JESSICA LANGE CALLED ME BACK AT 5:00PM AND TOLD ME THE TIMING BELT HAD TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE IT WAS STRETCHED. THIS HAPPENS. COST TO HAVE THIS DONE WAS $1988.34. I ONLY HAVE 50988 MILES ON MY CRV. THE COST WAS OUTRAGEOUS. I AM 58 AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A TIMING CHAIN WITH THIS FEW MILES. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HONDA NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS MODELS AND NEVER FIXED IT. I DO LOVE MY HONDA BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AND WILL GET RID OF THIS ONE BEFORE I REACH 100,000 MILES. HOPEFULLY THE REPLACEMENT TIMING CHAIN WILL LAST THAT LONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK DURING ACCELERATION. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE AXLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIORITY HONDA (621 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757) 213-6600) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER SPECULATED THAT THE AXLE COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
