2014 Honda CR-V complaints

THE TPWL COMES ON AT VARIOUS TIMES & IS NOT A RELIABLE WAY TO MONITOR TIRE PRESSURE. EVERY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON, I CHECK THE PRESSURES & THEY ARE ALL AT 32 PSI. THE LIGHT IS USELESS! THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES & NOW I IGNORE THE LIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO TWO PARKED VEHICLES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, ONLY THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED NO INJURIES. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND A FRACTURED RIGHT ARM, WHICH MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

CAR HESITATES RANDOMLY FROM DEAD STOP. STARTS OFF AT ABOUT 2 MPH AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL 5 TO 10 SECONDS EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. HONDA HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE RANDOM OCCURRENCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 20 TIMES. DOES NOT SHOW UP ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. REPLACED 2014 CR-V AFTER 10 WEEKS WITH 2015 CR-V. 2015 MODEL HAS DIFFERENT ISSUES. NO MORE HONDAS!!! TOOK A BIG FINANCIAL HIT ON REPLACING A 2014 CR-V AFTER 10 WEEKS WITH A 2015 CR-V. CAR TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

DURING COLD WEATHER (WINTER) WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING THERE IS A ONE TIME GRINDING NOISE. THIS IS THE 2ND HONDA CRV THAT WE OWN THAT MAKES THIS SAME NOISE. WHEN I PERFORM A GOOGLE SEARCH I FIND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM MANY HONDA CRV OWNERS FROM MULTIPLE YEARS OF MANUFACTURE OF THE HONDA CRV. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THIS NOISE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL VALVE (VTC) AND THAT HONDA IS WORKING ON A PERMANENT SOLUTION. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF NOISE ISSUE AND SUPPOSEDLY WORKING ON A SOLUTION FOR AT LEAST 2 MODEL YEARS YET NO PERMANENT SOLUTION TO ISSUE HAS BEEN PROVIDED AT THIS TIME. HONDA IS CURRENTLY MANUFACTURING AND SELLING CRV'S TO CONSUMERS WITH A KNOWN ENGINE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE MADE TO EXTEND THE ENGINE WARRANTY UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS CORRECTED. *TR

THE HEADRESTS ARE TOTALLY UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY NEW CR-V. I'VE HAD TO PURCHASE A LUMBAR SUPPORT & NECK REST (PILLOW), IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE HORRIBLE DESIGN OF THE SEAT/HEADREST. IT'S TILTED TOO FAR FORWARD & IF I ATTEMPT TO REST MY BACK INTO THE SEAT, MY HEAD IS BENT FORWARD. NO ADJUSTMENT IS ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM; IT ONLY GOES UP & DOWN. THE CHEVY TRAVERSE (WHICH I RENTED A FEW MONTHS AGO) HAS A PERFECT HEADREST. I WAS ABLE TO ADJUST IT UP/DOWN & BACKWARD/FORWARD! *TR

OUR 2014 HONDA CR-V (PICKED UP THE CAR 11/14/14) HAS A PROBLEM WITH HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION. HAD 125 MILES ON THE CR-V WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER. AFTER ENTERING THE CENTER AND GOING ABOUT 15 MPH I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS AS I GENTLY AGAIN PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. SCARED THE HECK OUT OF MY WIFE AND I. I HIT THE BRAKES. THEN SLOWLY PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR RESPONDED OKAY. WE WENT ANOTHER 200 FEET OR SO AND WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING AISLE WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. TWO PEOPLE CROSSING THE LOT CAME CLOSE TO BEING HIT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. WE WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN THE EVENING HOURS, THE VISIBILITY WAS EXTREMELY LOW WITH THE USE OF THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT REPORTED THE SAFETY CONCERN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER MORE THAN ONCE AND THEY PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BULB FOR THE LOW BEAM, WHICH FAILED TO INCREASE VISIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

SPOUSE HAD DRIVEN THE CAR NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AND FLAMES SHOOT OUT OVER THE HOOD, IMMEDIATELY STOPS AND EXITS THE NEW CR-V IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TWO MEN ARRIVE IMMEDIATELY WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND PUT OUT THE FIRE BEFORE THE CAR BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. DAMAGE ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND SMOKE DAMAGE IN THE CABIN AREA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND RESTRICTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.

SUMMARY: MY HONDA CR-V HAS A PROBLEM WITH HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION AFTER A PAUSE (LET OFF THE GAS FOR A SECOND). THIS PROBLEM IS A FEW SECONDS DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE TIME THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCELERATES. I HAVE HAD TWO VERY CLOSE CALLS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS MOSTLY AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH. BUT HAS OCCURRED AT 65 MPH. AT 65 I LET OFF THE GAS, SLOWED TO 60 THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN TO 52 BEFORE THE CAR ACCELERATED. I'VE TALKED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, MIKE SHEETS, AT OCEAN HONDA, CA. HE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT STATES THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL THEY GET AN S.B. FROM HONDA. *TR

THE TPM WENT ON INDICATING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. DEALER CHECK: ALL TIRES OK, RESET TPM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE, IT'S BACK ON AS THIS DATA IS BEING ENTERED. A SEARCH ON-LINE INDICATES THAT MANY 2014 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM (ONE WEB SITE: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HONDA/CR-V/2014/2014-HONDA-CR-V-TIRE-PROBLEMS.PHP) . THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OWNERS CAN'T TRUST THE TPM SYSTEM: IS A TIRE GOING FLAT, OR IS THE TPM MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY FOR 2014 (AND NEWER?) YEARS WHEN HONDA WENT TO A NEW SYSTEM THAT MONITORS THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF WHEELS RATHER THAN ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE. THANKS *TR

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON INDICATING TIRE PRESSURE IS INCORRECT. WHEN I CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE IT IS CORRECT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING 2014. *TR

THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT FREQUENTLY: AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, ATTEMPT TO PROCEED AND STEP ON ACCELERATOR AND THERE IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD AT AN IDLE PACE. THIS SITUATION MAY LAST FOR 20 SECONDS OR SO AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS AND THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS AS THE VEHICLE IS LIMITED TO MOVING AT A CRAWL PACE WHEN IT HAPPENS. IF MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, OR MAKING A TURN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, YOU ARE JUST OUT THERE MOVING AT A CRAWL AND COULD EASILY BE HIT BY OTHER CARS. LOOKING ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM I FIND 4 OTHER NEW HONDA CRV OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DEALER THINKS THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. I HAVE NOW GONE 300 MILES WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. BUT ON THE CARCOMPLAINT.COM SITE, OTHER PEOPLE ARE JUST BEING TOLD "DEALER CAN NOT REPRODUCE" AND THEY ARE SENDING CUSTOMERS BACK OUT IN A CAR WITH A POTENTIAL DEADLY SITUATION. SOMEONE WILL BE MAIMED OR KILLED. THIS RANDOM AND SUDDEN LACK OF ACCELERATION PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. ALL CARCOMPLAINT.COM PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM BOUGHT OR LEASED THEIR CARS IN MAY 2014 OR LATER. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED WHEN CARS ARE IN PRODUCTION. JUST ONE EXPERIENCE BY THE UNLUCKY OWNER OF ONE THE HONDA CRV'S WITH THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. LOOK AT THE CARCOMPLAINT.C

APPLY BRAKES FOR NORMAL STOP, EASE OFF THROTTLE PEDAL. WHEN ROAD IS CLEAR, RELEASE BRAKES, APPLY PRESSURE TO THROTTLE PEDAL. NO RESPONSE. ADD PRESSURE - NO RESPONSE. ADD MORE PRESSURE AND FULL SPEED AHEAD. *TR THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PUTS YOU HARD AGAINST THE SEAT, WITH SUDDEN REACTION NEEDED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR AHEAD OF YOU GOING THE SAME WAY. ENTERING A FREEWAY COULD BE FUN!!! THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURANCE, AT ALMOST EVERY STOP AND PROCEED. FROM WHAT I HEAR ABOUT AIR BAGS IN SOME CARS, THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION MAY BE A CAUSE OF AIR BAG RELEASE WHICH WOULD COMPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT NEEDS A GADGET TO PREVENT THE BELT FROM INJURING THE DRIVER'S THROAT. THESE GADGETS ( I TESTED SEVERAL) TWIST THE BELT SO THAT THE BELT IS PROBABLY LESS EFFECTIVE IN RESTRAINING THE DRIVER. *TR

TRAVELING ON TRIP TO CALIFORNIA FROM ARIZONA AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM MONITORING LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED OFF AS SOON AS FEASIBLE POSSIBLE AND CHECKED PRESSURE WHICH WAS CORRECT. HAPPENED TO ME TWICE SINCE THEN AND BOTH TIMES THE PRESSURE IN ALL TIRES WAS CORRECT. LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A MECHANIC MAKE SURE ALL TIRES WERE 32 PSI AND RESET THE LIGHT. IT CAME BACK ON 30 MINUTES LATER. PULLED IN THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2014'S THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX. GOT HOME AND GOOGLED IT-FORUMS SAY IT IS A GLITCH IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SOFTWARE. NOW CAN I TRUST MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES?? MY CAR IS ONE DAY OLD!!!! VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

THE TPS INDICATOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON ALMOST SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. DEALER SAYS TIRE PRESSURE IS OK, BUT AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AGAIN. IT IS VERY ANNOYING DOES NOT OFFER A SENSE OF SECURITY AND SAFETY. WE HAVE OWNED 3 HONDAS INCLUDING A 2009 CRV AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TSP INDICATOR LIGHT ISSUE EXCEPT WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. *TR

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING INTO OR ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE HESITATION IS MOMENTARY BUT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) LIGHT HAS COME ON THREE TIMES WHEN THE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. HONDA HAS NOT PROVIDED A FIX FOR THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SHIFTER WOULD INDEPENDENTLY SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. IN ADDITION, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

I HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPMS) SYSTEM ON MY NEW CRV. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY WHEN MY TIRE PRESSURE IS FINE. IT SOMETIMES DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN MY TIRE PRESSURE IS NOT FINE. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS 6 OR 7 TIMES AND THERE IS NO FIX IDENTIFIED YET. I AM LEFT NOT KNOWING WHETHER MY TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED OR NOT. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE BUT NOT ABLE TO CORRECT (OR WILLING TO REFUND). *TR

TO ADD TO THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIST. 2014 CRV PURCHASED IN APRIL, 2014. TPMS MONITOR HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. USUALLY OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED THIS TIME (@5800 MILES). THIS WILL BE TPMS COMPLAINT 35 OF A TOTAL OF 65 COMPLAINTS. I GUESS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO EVERYONE, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HAPPEN MUCH TOO OFTEN. SUSPECT NYS LEMON LAW IS MY NEXT OPTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY REVERSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

MY TPMS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. AFTER I RESET IT, MY TIRES PRESSURE IS RIGHT. BUT IT STILL COMES ON. *TR

JUST HAD MY FIRST OIL CHANGE FOR 2014 HONDA CRV .PURCHASED FEB. 2014.THE RECEIPT STATES I WAS ADVISED OF ONE OR MORE RECALLS AFFECTING THE FRONT AIR BAG INFLATORS. THE REDESIGNED INFLATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. WHEN AVAILABLE I WILL BE CONTACTED TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR REPLACEMENT. NOW IF MY OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE ,WHEN WOULD I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED? IF AT ALL??? WILL BE CONTACTING SERVICE DEPT. TUESDAY.. *TR

MY HONDA CRV HAS A PROBLEM WITH HESITATION ON ACCELERATION THAT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THE COMPUTER SAFETY FEATURE THAT KEEPS THE ENGINE FROM ACCELERATING OR RUNNING AWAY WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. THIS FEATURE HAS A FEW SECOND DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME THE BRAKE IS RELEASED AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING ON MOUNTAIN ROADS WHERE YOU NEED TO TOUCH THE BRAKES AND THEN ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SONS HONDA, MCDONOUGH, GA TWICE AND THEY HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT STATE THAT THEY HAVE NO ANSWER ON HOW TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HONDA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT HEAD ANYTHING FROM THEM. *TR

LEAVING FOR 4 HOUR VACATION DRIVE; AS WE WERE ABOUT 60 MILES FROM HOME THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) LOW-TIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WE PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF AT A SAFE SPOT, EXAMINE THE TIRES, CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE VACATION ENDED THERE AS WE TURNED AROUND AND CAME HOME BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE. THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE DAY ONE! ORIGINALLY I SUSPECTED THE PRE-DELIVERY TIRE CHECK AND CALIBRATION WAS MISSED SO I PERFORMED IT MYSELF. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO HONDA WHO FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE CONDITION STATING WE ARE WORKING ON A RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER 12/2013. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE UNTIL I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE AND CALLED HONDA USA AGAIN WHO MAGICALLY SAID WE HAVE A FIX. BACK TO DEALER WHO INSTALLED A VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS 6/2014. LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN 8/19/2014 AS STATED ABOVE. CALLED HONDA USA, TOOK TO DEALER TODAY FOR VSA REPAIR KIT FIT USA 13-040. THIS SEEMS FISHY AS IT IS A REPAIR KIT FOR A HONDA FIT NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR A CRV. TIME WILL TELL BUT WE CAN NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AS I AM HANDICAPPED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH AND OPERATING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER BLADE PUSHED WATER BACK OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INDICATED THAT THE WIPER BLADES OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,668. ..UPDATED 09-11-14 *BF UPDATED 12/18/2014 *JS

SINCE THE DAY I PICKED UP THE NEW CR-V IT HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES IN TRAFFIC OR AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY, 3-4 TIMES A DAY. I WILL BE MOVING AT A MODERATE SPEED, 15 TO 40 MPH, AND WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR GENTLY, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN!! IF I PRESS HARDER, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT ACCELERATES RAPIDLY! THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER 10608235 BUT OCCURS ONLY WHEN I AM ALREADY MOVING. I'VE TAKEN THE CRV TO 2 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS AND THEY TEST DRIVE IT BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN SO THEY SAY IT MUST BE "NORMAL". IT ISN'T. IT'S DANGEROUS! SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS HOW THIS VEHICLE WORKS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. *TR

WANT TO REPORT THE SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFICIENCY IN THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR NEWLY PURCHASED '14 HONDA CRV. ON LOW BEAM, THE RANGE OF LIGHTING IS LIMITED TO DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFINED CUT-OFF LINE. ON HIGH BEAM, IT IS DIFFICULT TO ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND REPORTED THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND WAS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY INDICATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FIXED AND THAT IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS GOING TO RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF NOT RESOLVED SOON. *TR

CLICKING SOUND IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN BRAKING AT 70MPH STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. TOLD BY DEALER ROTORS DEFECTIVE. *TR

WITH GREATER EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE MY LAST REPORT, I AM WRITING TO REITERATE HOW EXTREMELY DEFICIENT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE. IN UNLIT, RURAL AREAS, THE LOW BEAMS ARE INADEQUATE AND REQUIRE THE USE OF FOG LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME FOR INCREASED ILLUMINATION. WHEN THE HIGH-BEAMS ARE ENGAGED (FOG-LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY GO OUT), NEAR-FIELD ILLUMINATION VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARS. I HAVE WRITTEN DIRECTLY TO THE CEO OF AMERICAN HONDA, AND INCLUDED PRINT-OUTS OF NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS CONCERN WHICH ARE WIDELY POSTED ON THE INTERNET. I SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. INSTRUCTING ME TO TAKE THIS UP WITH A DEALER. I HAVE NOW DONE SO AND THE DEALER REPORTS THIS PERFORMANCE IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS CAR. I IMPLORE YOUR AGENCY TO UNDERTAKE AN INVESTIGATION SO THAT TRAGEDIES TO NOT HAVE TO OCCUR FIRST BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN BY THE COMPANY. IN THE MEANTIME, I FIND MYSELF ADJUSTING TRAVEL PLANS AND DRIVING TIMES FOR THE SAKE OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO 10615142 FILED EARLIER. THE TPMS ON MY CR-V DOES NOT WORK. HONDA CAN NOT KEEP IT OPERATING EVEN AFTER 6-8 SHOP REPAIRS. WHILE THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS, I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THE "ELECTRONIC STABILITY SYSTEM". AND. THE "ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM". ARE ALSO INOPERABLE!!! THEY WOULD SEEM TO USE SAME "INPUTS" AS TPMS ???? THIS MAY BE FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS!!!

THE TPMS LIGHT TURNS ON REPEATEDLY. APPROX 6-8 TRIPS BACK TO TAMERON HONDA. THEY ARE WILLING, AND HAVE DONE SOMETHING "NEW" ON EACH VISIT. NOW HAS 4500 MILES AND THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. BACK TO SHOP FOR NEW TRIALS. HONDA MUST HAVE SOME PRETTY WEAK ENGINEERS TO NOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. ( NEARLY 50 COMPLAINTS AT THIS SITE ). WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. .? IS THERE A FAILURE ON A TIRE OR. THE NAGGING LIGHT AGAIN. *TR

ON JUNE 21, 2014 AT APPROX 9:34 AM, AS I WAS COMING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE TO TURN LEFT, AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PAD, SLIGHTLY TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL *& MY CAR SHOT LIKE A BULLET! IT WAS GOING SO FAST IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO CONTROL IT (IT WAS FASTER THAN BEING ON THE HIGHWAY); I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PADS & THE CAR WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN. I MANAGED TO MAKE ANOTHER LEFT (AS STRAIGHT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE BLDG) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT AN UNKNOWN ACCELERATED SPEED. AS I TURNED LEFT, GOING AROUND VEHICLES, I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE PAD & THE CAR SHOT EVEN FASTER THAN BEFORE! I WENT THROUGH THE FENCE & INTO A SEDAN THAT WAS PARKED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PARKING LOT, MY VEHICLE JUMPED & LANDED ON THE DRIVER SIDE PARALLEL TO THE SEDAN. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, DEFLATED, I TOOK OFF MY SEATBELT, WENT TO OPEN THE DOORS BUT THE DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN. I WAS FRANTIC, THE CAR WAS SMOKING, RED & GREEN LIGHTS WERE ON THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED EXITING VIA THE SUNROOF; THAT WORKED, THAT'S HOW I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE (WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF PEOPLE PASSING BY). I HAD JUST LEASED THIS VEHICLE ON TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2014; IT WAS A HONDA CRV 2014. SINCE THEN I'VE FOUND SOME ARTICLES ONLINE WHERE INDIVIDUALS HAVE EXPERIENCED ALMOST THE SAME FRIGHTENING SITUATION THAT I ENCOUNTERED (GOOGLE ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING IN HONDA CRV). I'M BEYOND SCARED TO RIDE IN A CAR OR A TAXI; I'M NOT SURE WHEN I WOULD EVER WANT TO GET IN A CAR AGAIN. I'M EVEN AFRAID OF CROSSING THE STREET WHEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATE THAT THE TOP EDGE OF THE FRONT DOORS WERE EXTREMELY SHARP AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO SUSTAIN A LACERATION TO THE HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ALTER THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

MY HONDA CRV 2014 - FROM A STOP IT HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE, NOTHING HAPPENS, THEN IT JUMPS AHEAD. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. I AM AFRAID TO GO ON A HIGHWAY RAMP WHEN YOU HAVE TO REACT QUICKLY TO ADVANCE ONTO THE ROAD. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN I STEP ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS THEN IT JUMPS AHEAD. I COULD HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME!! I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALER IN TENAFLY, N.J. TWO TIMES. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED. *TR

JUNE 26, 2014 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING EAST DOWN HIGHWAY 55 AT AROUND 8A.M. ON JUNE 23, 2014. A DEER CAME OUT QUICKLY FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR AND HIT OUR NEW HONDA CR-V. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS QUITE CAVED IN AND MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I WAS IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. MY HUSBAND'S AIRBAG DID NOT. HE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH HIS SHOULDER. WE WERE QUITE SHOOK UP AND SORE AFTERWARD. THE OFFICER THAT CAME TO FILE THE REPORT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS SURPRISED THAT THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF AND THAT IN ORDER TO MOVE THE CR-V HE SUGGESTED WE TOW IN CASE THE AIRBAG WOULD STILL GO OFF. THIS SITUATION HAS MADE US QUITE NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF. WE WOULD APPRECIATE HONDA INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS EQUIPPED PROPERLY SHOULD WE BE IN A COLLISION. AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE THAT IS NOT THE CASE. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN NEXT, SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. SINCERELY, *TR

THIS LETTER IS TO REPORT MY DISSATISFACTION WITH MY 2014 HONDA CRVS DRIVER SIDE, OUTSIDE, REARVIEW MIRROR. AT THE LEAST, THE DISTORTION OF THIS DESIGN IS A DISTRACTION, AT THE WORST IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO QUICKLY DETERMINE WHAT IS BEING REFLECTED IN THIS MIRROR. PLEASE OFFER A REPLACEMENT MIRROR WITHOUT THE SPLIT DESIGNED REFLECTING SURFACE. *TR

SINCE MAY 27TH THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 4-5 DAYS A WEEK. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I UTILIZED THE MANUAL TO CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM, BUT THEN IT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED ALL OF THE TIRES, CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM, AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY. ANOTHER 5 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THE RAN A CHECK THROUGH THE ENTIRE COMPUTER TIRE SYSTEM AND TEST DROVE IT, SO THEY SAY, BUT WHILE HEADING HOME THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR THE FOURTH TIME. I AM SO SICK OF THIS. ITS VERY ANNOYING. THIS MALFUNCTION CAN BE SAFETY CONCERN IN THE LONG RUN. AFTER A WHILE, HOW DOES THE OWNER DETERMINE WHETHER THE SYSTEM IS ACCURATELY OR FALSELY REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES TIRES. MY CRV CURRENTLY HAS 1800 MILES ON IT. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME AND ASK THAT THE SENSOR BE REPLACED. *TR

RAPID AND UNCONTROLLED DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSAFE MANNER WHILE DRIVING.WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY THE FOLLOWING CAR.WE LOST OF ALL INSTRUMENTATION,ALL OF THE WARNINGS LIGHTS INDICATE FAILURE, SPEEDOMETER,TACHOMETER,AIRBAGS,VSA,BRAKES,ABS,ETC.. THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED 4 TIMES. #1(4/4/14) REPLACED VSA MODULE AND BLEED BRAKES+ RESET CODES,#2 (4/8/14) REPLACE 2 WIRING HARNESSES AND VERIFY CONNECTIONS+ RESET CODES,#3(5/8/14) MEASURE ALL CAN BUSS VOLTAGES & DRIVE WITH METER+ RESET CODES, #4(6/10/14)DEALER THINKS THEY HAVE FOUND A LOOSE GROUND & REPLACED ECM/PCM MODULE+RESET CODES, DROVE A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES THEN RETURNED. THE LOOSE PIN MAY HAVE BEEN FROM REPLACING THE HARNESS AND REMOVING CONNECTORS MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR 30 DAYS OF SERVICE COMBINED. IN 1857 MILES THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED 4 TIMES. YOU HAVE NO SPEED INDICATION WHILE DRIVING DURING AND AFTER THE EVENT. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES COME ON OR CAR IS FORCED INTO LOW GEAR THROWING PASSENGERS FORWARD AND CAUSING FOLLOWING CARS TO EVADE THE CAR . THERE ARE MANY ERROR CODES DURING THESE EVENTS. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING CAR MULTIPLE TIMES ALL INDICATORS WILL RETURN TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEO OF THREE OF THE EVENTS. *TR

RAINING WENT TO DOCTOR , CAME OUT STARTED CAR AND TURNED LEFT ON ROAD TO FREEWAY AT 10/15MPH CODE D3 CAME ON. TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR,COULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 30/40 MPH. COULD NOT DRIVE ON FREEWAY.TAKING BACK ROADS HOME AND PARKING CAR 15/20 MINUTES LATER STARTED CAR AND CODE WAS OFF .CALLED SERVICE DEPT AND WAS TOLD CAR FIXED IT SELF, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT ALL, EVERYTIME IT RAINS IS IT GOING TO STICK IN 3RD GEAR LIKE IT DID. NEEDS CORRECTED NOW. *TR

2014 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER DRIVING OFF THE LOT, WITH HIS NEW VEHICLE, THE TPMS INDICATOR CAME ON. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SYSTEM WAS RESET. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM (TO NO AVAIL), HE WAS INFORMED THE CONDITION WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN SOME MODELS AND HONDA ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF IT. HONDA INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THEY WERE DILIGENTLY WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. SOMETIME IN MARCH, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA, ADVISING HIM THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AND HE SHOULD RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD. HOWEVER, THE FIX DID NOT WORK. *JB

2014 CRV AWD EX WITH 700 MILES VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AND THRUMMING NOISE BETWEEN 50 AND 70 MPH. DEALERSHIP PUT OVER 100 MILES ON VEHICLE FOR TESTING. DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED AND STILL VIBRATES. DEALERSHIP REMOVED DRIVE SHAFT AND NO VIBRATION. WAS TOLD ONLY 2 CRVS IN THE STATE HAVE VIBRATION PROBLEMS. TPMS LIGHTS CAME ON 5 TIMES WITH NO EXPLANATION FROM DEALERSHIP. SENSORS CHECKED. FAN MOTOR MADE LOW, LOUD GROWLING NOISE WHEN TURNED ON IN 15 DEGREE TEMPERATURE. WAS TOLD THAT IS NORMAL. RAN THROUGH CAR WASH WITH SUN SHADE OPEN AND GLASS PANEL CLOSED. WATER DRIPPED IN. TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. *TR

GREETINGS - THIS IS TO REPORT MULTIPLE INCIDENTS / A PERMANENT CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS BEING GROSSLY INADEQUATE. THE INCIDENT INDICATED HERE WAS FIRST OF MANY OCCURRENCE WHILE DRIVING ON RURAL ROADS, ESPECIALLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. MOST EGREGIOUS IS THAT WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ENGAGED , THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF NEAR -FIELD LUMINANCE. THIS IS GREATLY EXACERBATED IN INCLEMENT WEATHER AND UNDOUBTEDLY A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROADS AND IN THE SAME OR WORSE CONDITIONS MANY TIMES WITH VEHICLES I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED WITH FAR LESS PROBLEMATIC VISIBILITY. REGULAR LOW-BEAM ACTIVITY IS INADEQUATE AS WELL ON UNLIT OR LOW-LIT ROADS. ON MAY 26TH I WAS IN RURAL AREA THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN FOR 15 YEARS FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER DARK IN THIS VEHICLE. THE LACK OF VISIBILITY WAS SHOCKING. THE FEAR OF A DEER OR OTHER ANIMAL CROSSING THE VEHICLE'S PATH UNSEEN WAS GO TREMENDOUS CONCERN. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DEMANDED. *TR

THE EXTERIOR LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WORK NORMALLY AS EXPECTED WHEN SWITCH IS IN LOW BEAM POSITION. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE SELECTED. THE VISIBILITY PROVIDED BY THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS DISAPPEARS WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE SELECTED. THE VISIBILITY ON THE HIGH BEAM SETTING IS GREAT 300 FEET FORWARD OF THE CAR BUT MINIMAL TO NONE 50 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON TURNPIKES WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH. THE VISIBILITY ON HIGH BEAM SELECTION IS SO POOR IT FORCED ME TO USE ONLY LOW BEAMS TO SEE THE ROAD AND OBJECTS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. THIS ELIMINATED THE POSSIBILITY OF SEEING ANIMALS OR OTHER DANGERS DOWN THE ROAD THAT ARE NORMALLY VISIBLE ON THE HIGH BEAM SETTING. IT SEEMS LIKE THE LOW BEAMS ARE TURNED OFF WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE SELECTED IF SO THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT AFFECTS SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ADD MORE LIGHT TO THE LIGHT ALREADY BEING PROVIDED BY LOW THE BEAMS. THIS VEHICLE TAKES LIGHT AWAY ON THE HIGH BEAM SETTING. I HOPE NHTSA ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM VERY SOON WITH HONDA MOTOR CORP. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEMP (TPMS) LIGHT COME ON EVERY FEW MILES. WE HAD RESETED IT 50 TIME BY NOW. ALL SPEED & TEMPERATURES. DEALERS SERVICED THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES SO FAR. CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT OK. CUSTOMER FORUM MENTIONED A VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL FIRMWARE "VSA/ABS SOFTWARE UPDATE" & "SB#14-006 UPDATE". DEALER APPLIED FIRMWARE UPDATE MAY 8. BUT TPMS LIGHTS STILL CAME ON. PROBLEM NOT FIXED BY THE FIRMWARE UPDATE. *JS

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW HONDA CR-V 2014 IN OCT 2013 AND WITH IN TWO WEEKS I SEE A TPMS LIGHT ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, ASKED THEM CAR WAS NOT EVEN A MONTH OLD AND MILEAGE WAS AROUND 450 AND I GOT MY TPMS LIGHT ON. THEY SAID SOME TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW AND NOT CORRECT AND MANUALLY SET THE TPMS LIGHT AND AFTER A WEEK'S TIME I GOT THE LIGHT AGAIN -TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING AND MANUALLY RESET THE TPMS AND CYCLE STARTED AGAIN - AFTER A WEEK I GOT THAT LIGHT ONCE MORE AND UNTIL NOW IT'S BEEN 8 TIMES I HAVE BEEN TO DEALER AND HE DON'T HAVE A GENUINE REASON AND KEEPS TELLING THIS IS COMMON FOR ALL 2014 CR-V'S. I AM IN DILEMMA NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THIS CAR. *TR
