2014 Honda CR-V complaints

Pulling into a parking space, when hitting my brakes, the engine suddenly accelerated and no, I was not pushing both the gas pedal and brake at the same time. In doing a web search, I found many instances of other CRV owners having the same issue...sudden acceleration when braking

My Honda has had the front axle replaced twice and now the Honda Dealership is stating it needs to be replaced a third time. The Passenger side also had to have the knuckle or whatever replaced where the tire extends. I mostly drive my child to school and myself to work and or highway driving. I have own cars since I was 16, am now quite past that year and have never had to have the front axle replaced three (3) times?? Driving is very difficult but there is nothing I can do about it - the cost each time is close to 2K. Thanks

The transmission shudders and shakes under light acceleration at speed 20-30 mph. looks like this is a known issue by Honda. check the bulletin (15-086 and 17-040) https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10108735-9999.pdf https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10108737-9999.pdf (the document says : the warranty is 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first.) There are service bulletins out from Honda with corrective actions to be taken Honda wants to charge to perform the fix with no guarantee it will solve the known problem.

VTC actuator is faulty and HONDA will not replace and now I'm being told that I need a new TIMING CHAIN also from the VTC actuator not functioning properly. A TIMING CHAIN that should last the life of the engine has FAILED at 90K miles. Why don't you make HONDA issue a recall instead of sticking the owners with large expensive repair bills when HONDA has issued a service bulletin that the actuator is flawed. This is out of their service bulletin 16-012..... "The variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator is defective. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the VTC actuator. "

2014 Honda CRV rattling noise upon cold start at 20,000 miles into owning vehicle. Dealership could not locate the problem nor witness the problem each time we reported this whenever we brought the car in for oil changes...Problem became progressively worse over the years. Now that the rattling is essentially heard every time the car is started, we have taken it in. We are told we need a "new engine" because we need a new VTC actuator. We are also told that the car is burning oil. The new engine costs $4800 (NJ). Will this solve the problem that obviously is a Honda defect? Will the new engine have VTC actuators that will not fall apart in 1 year?... Honda has known about this problem for YEARS!

Two times in the past seven years, the starter of the car has required to be replaced. There seem to be thousands of similar complaints about the problem with the starter for the 2014 Honda CRV.

Cold Start: CVT actuator problems

VTC Actuator Timing valve rattles at cold start on highway when going over 50-65mph engine rattles very hard and vehicle shakes to point have to pull over. Looked all over online and thousands of customers have same issue even lawsuits. Took to Middletown NY Honda and they say out of warranty and nothing they can do but pay $1500to replace a known faulty part that once replaced could happen again or cause catstrostapic engine damage. please make a recall

We are having repeat problems with the VTC Actuator. This was replaced in 2018 under warranty but has since recurred. Our car is now at the dealer with a diagnostic of timing chain, vtc actuator, and cam gear for a cost of 2100 dollars. It is no longer under warranty and the cost is being passed on to us. This complaint is all over the internet and it is a Honda defect. Please work to support consumers and issue a recall promptly. Honda needs to fix this issue. We also, like many other, burn through oil. It’s amazing how everyone is reporting the same issues in cold starts. (Rattles).

VTC ACTUATOR RATTLES UPON START UP FREQUENTLY

HIT ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF BREAK, CAR HIT A COLUM IN GARAGE PRETTY HARD BUT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

MY 2014 HONDA CRV SEEMS TO SHUDDER AROUND 23 TO 35 MPH AT SLOW ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A GOOD WHILE NOW. I CHANGED THE FLUID TRANSMISSION FLUID AND STILL NO CHANGES, IT STILL HAS AN HARD SHUDDER.

WE WERE DRIVING AND WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD , WHEN WE LOOKED ALL OIL WAS COMING OUT OF ENGINE AND TRANSMITION. BOTH ENGINE AND TRANSMITION ARE BROKEN. NO ROAD HAZARD ACCORDING TO HONDA DEALER/ MECHANIC. ALSO AIR CONDITIONING FAILED LAST YEAR, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. WE WERE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY, NO PREVIOUS NOTICE OF ANY PROBLEM. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2014 HONDA CRV AND THERE IS A SPECIFIC PART THAT WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES CALLED A VTC ACTUATOR AND ITS A FAULTY DESIGN ALL THE 2012 TO 2014 HONDA CRVS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN MY ENGINE, EVERYTIME ON START THERE IS GRINDING SOUND AND WHEN I FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2015 IN WOULD ONLY DO THE IN THE WINTER THEN IN WARMER WEATHER IT WOULDN'T NOW ITS CONSTANT ON EVERY STARTUP.

ON ENGINE STARTING ESPECIALLY MORNING OR COLD STARTS ENGINE CHAIN SPROCKET CLATTERS FOR A NUMBER OF SECONDS. IN NOVEMBER 2016 OR 2017 WENT TO HONDA DEALER FOR CHECK OUT PERFORMANCE AND ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALLS AT CASTLE HONDA MORON GROVE IL TEL # 847-965-8833. WE QUESTIONED ABOUT THE RATTLING COMING ON WHEN 1ST START OF THE DAY. THEY JUST ANSWERED SOME ENGINES DO THIS WHEN THEY ARE COLD, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT! WELL WE DIDN'T WORRY IT SINCE THE HONDA DEALER ANSWERED ITS OK. NOW OVER TIME THE RATTLING IS GETTING LONGER AND LOUDER. I WORK FOR THE STATE AND AT TIMES AM NOT AVAILABLE TO HELP MY WIFE WHEN I AM NOT AT HOME. IAM AFRAID THE RATTLING MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING TOTALLY AND PLACE HER IN DANGER. MY NAME IS [XXX] I AM 73 YEARS OLD AND A HONDA BUYER SINCE 1965.. I WISH YOU TO CHECK WITH YOUR ENGINEERS ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN PROBLEMS AND OILCHAIN LUBRICATING PROBLEMS AND TECHNICAL CHANGES INVOLVING AL HONDAS IN THIS PARTICULAR MOTORS. THANK YOU [XXX]. EMAIL IS, [XXX] .PLEASE SUBMIT AN WRITTEN RESPONSE ALSO. TEL # [XXX]. THANKS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. GLASS EVERYWHERE.

VEHICLE MAKES GRINDING NOISE FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS DURING A COLD START. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK.

MY 2014 HONDA CR-V HAS DEVELOPED A SHUDDER AT APPROXIMATELY 2500 RPM, FEELS LIKE IT IS IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT SURE. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND A RESOLUTION OF A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE IS REQUIRED.

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK WHEN FIRST STARTING VEHICLE AND WHEN CAR IDLING. DANGEROUS BECAUSE NO VISIBILITY IN COLD CONDITIONS. ALSO, NO HEAT ON DRIVER'S SIDE. HONDA RELEASED SERVICE BULLETIN 14-063 SO THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR. I JUST PAID THE DEALER $618 TO HAVE THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED 3 TIMES BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL NOT RETURN. VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING IN COLD, ICY CONDITIONS WITH LOW VISIBILITY AND RELYING ON DEFROSTER TO FUNCTION.

RE: 2014 HONDA CR-V ~ POWER TAILGATE OPENER SWITCH ASSEMBLY, HONDA PART NO. 74810-T0A-A02; HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN16-063 ISSUE: POWER TAILGATE WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WE PURCHASED A 2014 HONDA CRV USED FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN 2020. NOT LONG AFTER THE PURCHASE, WE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS OPENING THE TAILGATE WHICH IS DESIGNED TO OPEN WITH THE KEY FOB. FREQUENTLY, THE BUTTON UNDER THE TAILGATE LIFT DOES NOT ACTIVATE AND THE TAILGATE WILL NOT OPEN. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER IF THE WEATHER IS COLD OR NOT. WE ARE PRESENTLY UNABLE TO CONVENIENTLY ACCESS 32.9 CUBIC FEET OF SPACE BEHIND THE SECOND ROW OF SEATS DUE TO THE FAULTY TAILGATE OPENER. THE SECOND ROW OF SEATS MUST FIRST BE LOWERED BEFORE GROCERIES, PETS, ETC. CAN BE PLACED INTO THAT REAR CARGO AREA. THIS PRESENTS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. IF WE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT, FIRST RESPONDERS MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE TAILGATE TO ACCESS THE REAR CARGO AREA IF IT WERE NECESSARY TO EXTRACT OCCUPANTS. WE RESEARCHED THIS TAILGATE OPENER PROBLEM ONLINE AND LEARNED THAT MANY HONDA CRV OWNERS HAVE POSTED ONLINE COMMENTS REFLECTING THEY HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOME CLAIMED THEY HAD THE SWITCH REPLACED EITHER UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, AND STILL EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WE WERE AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF POSTINGS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS BIGGER THAN OUR 2014 HONDA CRV. IT IS APPARENT THAT THE OEM EQUIPMENT SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLED BY HONDA IS FAULTY. WE F

THE HEAT DOESN'T WORK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, JUST BLOWS COLD AIR WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS WORKING PERFECTLY!

VTC ACTUATOR IS NEEDING CONSTANT REPLACING ASAP OR IT WILL STRETCH THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH WILL CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. I AM ON MY 2ND REPLACEMENT OF THE VTC ACTUATOR IN 2 WEEKS. NO MAJOR DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED AS YET BUT I AM TRYING TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. THE HONDA FIX IS NOT A FIX

WINDSHIELD WASHER CAME APART AND FAILED TO WORK. WASHER MOTOR WILL NOT RUN.ALLOWING WIPER BLADE S TO DAMAGE TO WIND SHIELD AND BACK WINDOW. BOTH MOVING AND STATIONARY..NO PHOTO

AT THE SPEED OF 25 - 30 MILES PER HOUR, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD LAST WEEK I WAS REALLY SCARED! I LOOKED UP THE DESCRIPTION ON GOOGLE AND WOW!Z THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS! THEY SAID IT WAS A PROGRAM ISSUE FOR THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE! HOWEVER, WHEN PEOPLE TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE PROGRAM UPGRADE; AND GET THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAINED AND REPLACED, THE PROBLEM QUICKLY RETURNS!!!!!!!! SO.....HOW DO I GET THIS VEHICLE FIXED! I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IT!!!!!! I BOUGHT THE CAR THROUGH HENDRICK TOYOTA ON RIVERS AVE IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. THEY TOOK THE HONDA CRV VEHICLE IN AS A TRADE FOR A TOYOTA. SO, WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS DUD!!! IT IS A BAD SEED AS FOR A CAR. WHO IS GOING TO MAKE GOOD ON THE BAD PART CALLED A TRANSMISSION? IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEGINNING SOON AFTER I MADE THE PURCHASE!

THE REAR DOOR HATCH LATCH STICKS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW 40 DEGREES SO THE REAR DOOR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. THERE IS NO KEY, FOB CONTROL, OR LEVER INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO TRY AND GET THE REAR DOOR HATCH OPEN. APPARENTLY THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

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

TIMING CHAIN RATTLE UPON COLD START 67,000 MILES, THIS SEEM TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND YOU NOR HONDA IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!

A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING THIS USED VEHICLE IN 2018, MY FIRST HONDA, I STARTED HAVING BATTERY ISSUES. I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK, AND WHEN LEAVING, 9ISH HOURS LATER, THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO CALL FOR A JUMP START AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN ONE MONTH. I THOUGHT BECAUSE IT WAS A SUCH A COLD WINTER, THIS MAY BE AFFECTING THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SO I BOUGHT A PORTABLE JUMP STARTER, WHICH I HAD TO USE A FEW OTHER TIMES. WINTER PASSED AND I JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED, I BEGAN TO HAVE THE ISSUE WHEN I'D DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR SHORT DISTANCES TOO, EVEN IN SPRING/SUMMERTIME. I NOW ALWAYS HAVE TO CARRY MY PORTABLE JUMP STARTER BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO START ON IT'S OWN. SOMETIMES, I CAN GO WEEKS WITHOUT HAVING TO JUMPSTART IT, OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO JUMPSTART IT EVERY MORNING. IT'S SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE AND SHOULDN'T BE NECESSARY. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES, AND EACH TIME TESTS GOOD, MY MECHANIC HAS INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO OTHER ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE PART. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH MANY OTHER HONDAS, NOT JUST CR-V, BUT THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO ORDER A RECALL OR ADMIT THAT IT'S EVEN A PROBLEM. THIS IS WRONG. HOMDA NEEDS TO DIG DEEP AND FIND THEIR ISSUE. SO MANY DRIVERS AROUND THE COUNTRY CANNOT BE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AND THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, AND HONDA NEEDS TO FIX IT.

HIGH PITCH NOISE WHILE DRIVING. DRIVE SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY DURING A BAD STORM THE DEFROSTER WAS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IT COMPLETELY ICED OVER. I COULD NOT SEE. NOT TO MENTION-- I WAS FREEZING COLD. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING HEAT, HOWEVER ALL VENTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE WERE BLOWING COLD AIR. I TOOK MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER. WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT, THEY SEEMED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG AND TOLD ME IT WAS $330 TO REPAIR. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CHARGED ME $172 TO FLUSH OUT THE HEATER CORE. THE MECHANIC ALSO TOLD ME IT WOULD PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN.

LOUD GRINDING NOISE AT STARTUP. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THAT CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING.

ENGINE MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. EVERY SINGLE TIME THE ACCELERATOR IS BEING PUSHED, I HEAR A RATTLE. I AM JUST COMING BACK FROM THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THIS COULD BE SOMETHING RELATED TO ENGINE AND IS GOING TO COST 2000 OR MORE AND JUST DID A OIL TREATMENT TO THE ENGINE JUST TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP BEFORE DOING AN OPEN HEART SURGERY(MESSING WITH ENGINE). I HOPE HONDA COMES BACK AND FIXES THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS SO COMMON WITH SO MANY OF THEIR 2014 HONDA CRVS.

PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM MY MOTHER-IN-LAW. SHE HAD NOTICED THE RATTLING SOUND BUT HER MECHANIC SAID HIS DID THE SAME THING AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT VEHICLE GRINDS ON COLD STARTUP. IS STARTING TO RATTLE A LITTLE ON ACCELERATION. CALLED MY HONDA DEALER, TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $1000 TO REPLACE THE VTC ACTUATOR. HE ALSO SAID THAT IT WOULD EVENTUALLY HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THAT IT DOESN'T HARM THE ENGINE SO WE SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. RESEARCHING ONLINE UNCOVERED A SERVICE BULLETIN (09-010) FOR CRV'S UP THROUGH 2013, BUT NOT COVERING 2014. HONDA IS NOT SOLVING THEIR ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND ARE MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY FOR IT.

ENGINE LOST POWER AND SEIZED WHILE TRAVELING ON RURAL ROUTE. LOCAL MECHANIC SAID GASOLINE HAD LEAKED INTO ENGINE AND HAD IT TOWED TO URSE HONDA IN BRIDGEPORT, WV. URSE ESTIMATED $9,000 IN REPAIRS

PAINT IS PEELING ON THE REAR SPOILER

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY CRV THAT MY AUTO IS SHAKING WHILE I'M DRIVING UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. I VISITED 2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY BOTH ASKED ME TO HAVE DIAGNOSIS.ALTHOUGH I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. SO, I GOT DIAGNOSIS FROM HONDA IN FALLS CHURCH, VA. THEY VERIFIED MY CONCERN THAT TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDS TO PERFORM TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. MY CONCERN IS MY AUTO MILEAGE IS NOW OVER 82K SO I'M NOT AVAILABLE TO HAVE THE SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. I HEARD THAT MANY CRV OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE I COULD GET THE SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY

TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER IS DEFECTIVE MAKING NOISE ON STARTING EVERY MORNING MAILLY ON COLD STARTS,BUT DOES IT WHEN HOT ALSO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED AND FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE HEAT THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WAS COLD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BROWN'S HONDA CITY USED CARS (7154 RITCHIE HWY SUITE 100, GLEN BURNIE, MD 410) 760-6561) WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE HEATER WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.

TRUNK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN IN COLD TEMPS. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND. THE GREASE IN THE LOCKING MECHANISM FREEZES. ONCE IT WARMS UP OUTSIDE I NO LONGER HAVE THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE GRINDS ON COLD STARTUP, EVERY SINGLE TIME. VEHICLE ALSO RATTLES ON ACCELERATION. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TIMING CHAIN AND VTC ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO THE TIME OF WELL OVER $2000. AFTER RESEARCH, I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH ALL 2014 HONDA CRVS BUT HONDA HAS REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM LEADS TO ENGINE FAILURE AND HONDA IS CONTINUING TO BUILD THESE VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM ASKING THAT HONDA ESTABLISH A RECALL FOR THE VTC ACTUATOR AND TIMING CHAIN TO PREVENT RESULTING ENGINE DAMAGE FROM THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS.

CLEAR COATING OVER PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS PEELING OFF EXTENSIVELY.

THE SUNROOF HAS RUST ALONG THE PANELING AREA THAT I CAN SEE. NOT SURE WHEN THE RUST DEVELOPED, I'M SURE WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

I PURCHASED A 2014 HONDA CRV WITH 13,000 MILES ON IN, A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AT 31,000 MILES THE VTC ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT WOULD MAKE A GRINDING NOISE ON START-UP. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE NOISE AND ONLY HAVE 65K MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE IN HONDA FORUMS AND THE PART IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE OR THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH IT AS THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN ISSUED, BUT NO RECALL YET.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SHUDDER UNDER LIGHT TO NORMAL ACCELERATION AT OR AROUND 2000 RPM. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT FROM HONDA WITH CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE TO PERFORM THE FIX WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WILL SOLVE THEW KNOWN PROBLEM.

AFTER MY CAR HAS SAT FOR 5-6 HOURS OR LONGER, AT START UP MY ENGINE GRINDS FOR 1-2 SECONDS. READING SIMILAR PROBLEMS ONLINE THEY SAY IT IS A FAULTY VTC ACTUATOR THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO FIX OR RECALL. IS THERE PLANS TO RECALL THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE MY CAR FAILS AND BREAKS DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD? THIS NOISE HAS HAPPENED EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE KNOWN ISSUE OF VTC RATTLE AT STARTUP.

ON 5/27/2020 AT 11:20 PM MY 2014 HONDA CRV WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME AND SUDDENLY COMBUSTED.FIRST SMOKE APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE THEN FLAMES. IT WAS LAST DRIVEN AROUND 9:45PM THAT EVENING WITHOUT ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS NO HISTORY OF PHYSICAL OR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. THE INCIDENT SET OFF MY RING BELL CAMERA SINCE IT MOTION SENSITIVE (WILL PROVIDE FOOTAGE IF REQUESTED).

LOW HEAT FROM DRIVERS SIDE WHICH CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD NOT TO DEFROST IN THE WINTER. ALSO COLD INSIDE CAR. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS AND PUT OUT SERVICE BULLETIN #14-063. SAYS HEATER CORE PARTLY CLOGS REDUCING HEAT TO DRIVERS SIDE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING THE INTERSTATE I-35W ON SATURDAY JUNE 13, 2020 IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, SOUNDED LIKE A ROCK HIT THE CAR. BEING CLOSE TO HOME WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY BUT DID NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR NOR UNDERNEATH. TWO DAYS LATER OPENING THE CEILING DOOR TO THE SUNROOF TO FIND OUT THAT THE GLASS HAD A BIG HOLE IN IT. WE WERE NOT NEAR AN OVER PASS. WE WERE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE BUT NO WHERE CLOSE TO ANY CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES. NOT SURE THAT CONSTRUCTION WAS OCCURRING AT THE TIME. ALL WE CAN THINK OF IS EITHER A ROCK FELL FROM THE SKY OR THE CLASS IMPLODED UNDER THE HEAT OF THAT DAY. *TR

RATTLING SOUND AT START UP AND OIL CONSUMPTION,. 2 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND HAVE CHECKED THE LEVEL WEEKLY. *TR
