2014 Honda CR-V complaints

COMPASS WOULD NOT CALIBRATE OR WORK. INITIALLY, DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS A CELL PHONE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS CORRUPTING THE COMPASS OPERATION! TESTS AND REMOVING CELL PHONE CONNECTION TO CAR PROVED IT WAS NOT THE SOURCE OF PROBLEM. PAID DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC BUT THEY DID NOT REPAIR OR RESOLVE PROBLEM. REPORTED ISSUE TO HONDA CORPORATION. EVENTUALLY, WE HAD TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE NEW COMPASS SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING SENSOR/LIGHT IS ON WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS NORMAL. TPMS SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE.

THE CRV STARTS TO SHAKE WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR GOES AWAY ONCE IT REACHES ABOVE 30 MILE/HOUR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE LAST 8 MONTHS.

GRIDDING NOISE FOR ENGINE STARTED AT 14,000 MILES AND DEALERSHIP SAID HONDA WORKING ON FIX, THEN AT 50,000 REALLY ROUGH IDLE AND NO POWER ,HEAVY VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING . STILL NO FIX! 52,000 CR-V IN SHOP AGAIN .

BENT CAR JACK . MY VEHICLE JACK CAR BENDS. I INJURED MY FINGERS IT WAS A SAFETY VIOLATION ON THE PART OF HONDA. SHAME ON HONDA!

I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SKATE BETWEEN 25-30 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, HOPING IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY $140 FOR THEM TO JUST CHECK MY VEHICLE. THEN THEY CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND HONDA HAD CREATED AN UPDATE, WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO RECEIVE. THAT THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE TO FLUSH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AS PART OF THIS, AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE $499 WITH LABOR AND TAXES. I THEN ALSO WENT AHEAD AND HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND MY BRAKE FLUID SINCE IT WAS RECOMMENDED. TOTAL BILL WAS $703. I THEN CAME HOME AND STARTED LOOKING UP AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE/HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MOST WEREN'T CHARGED BY THEIR DEALER FOR THE UPDATE AND FLUID CHANGE, WHICH SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. BUT I WAS. AND I HAVE THE SILVER WARRANTY UNDER FIDELITY. AND IT AFFECTED MY POWER TRAIN, BUT THEY CO WIDER IT A SOFTWARE ISSUE, NOT MECHANICAL, SO THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. HONDA SHOULD NOT CHARGE FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH WAS CLEARLY AFFECTING ENOUGH PEOPLE TO CAUSE THEM TO HAVE AN UPDATE AVAILABLE. BUT WHY CHARGE FOR IT? IT'S A MALFUNCTION IN THEIR SOFTWARE WHICH AFFECTED THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL AND PROVIDED THIS FOR FREE.

HAVE DRIVEN A SMOOTH 2002 CRV SINCE NEW. IN 2018 BOUGHT 2014 CRV - FRONT END SHIMMIES OFTEN. SOME TIME VERY VIOLENT - CAN FEEL SHAKE ONTO GAS PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL.SEEMS TOO SENSITIVE TO ANY SMALL (HARD TO SEE) BUMPS ON ROAD. TOOK TO PEARSON PREOWNED (RICHMOND, VA) A MAJOR AUTO SELLER. THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. HAVE SEARCHED YOUTUBE AND FOUND SOME CLAIMS THAT THE SUPPORTS FOR THE RADIATOR CAN CAUSE THIS WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. MY SHAKING DOES NOT OCCUR AT ANY STOP LIGHTS. I DESCRIBE THE SHAKING - LIKE A KID DRIBBLING A BASKETBALL. AND NOT 1-3 BOUNCES, BUT A LOT MORE (PROBABLY CLOSER TO 18). HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE DOWN A STREET, OR WHEN ACCELERATING. SCARY - ESPECIALLY WHEN IN MULTIPLE LANE TRAFFIC AND SURROUNDED BY OTHER AUTOS. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE PURCHASE IN MARCH, 2018. HAS PASSED INSPECTION WITHOUT ANY ISSUES..

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE. IT IS NOW GETTING WORSE. FROM THE DESCRIPTION SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON IN THE 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR. I BELIEVE THE PART HONDA HAS USED IS DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN EARLIER VERSIONS OF THE CR-V AND ACCORD.

ENGINE RATTLES FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS ON STARTING THE CAR AFTER A LONG PERIOD (AROUND 8 HOURS). CONTACTED HONDA, AND THEY WANT THE CUSTOMER TO COVER MAJORITY OF THE COST. HONDA SAYS THE ISSUE IS ONLY A NUISANCE AND WILL NOT CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE, BUT WILL NOT GIVE THIS IN WRITING.

RATTLING NOISE FOR 1 TO 3 SECONDS WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY SINCE PURCHASE. HAVE TALKED WITH DEALER WITH THEY SAY ITS STARTER ($863 NOT UNDER WARRANTY. IF I TURN KEY AND LET SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN START THE ENGINE - NO METAL NOISE. CONTACT AMERICA HONDA - NO CALL OR COMMUNICATION YET

DOES NOT BLOW HEAT OR AIR EASILY. APPEARS TO BE BLOCKED. TAKES FOREVER TO WARM OR COOL CAR. HAD 2005 HONDA CRV WITH NO PROBLEMS

VIBRATION DURING SLOW ACCELERATION AT SPEED 20-45 RPM. BACK OFF ACCELERATION THEN IT WILL GO A WAY. SYMPTOM START TO SHOW UP 65,000 MILES

BATTERY PROVIDED VERY SLOW STARTS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ANOMALIES ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WITHIN A MONTH OR SO PRIOR TO TESTING AND REPLACEMENT ON 01/24/17. VEHICLE (AND THE OEM BATTERY) HAD 22,119 MILES AT TIME OF FAILURE, AND HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR APPR. 17 MONTHS. NO EVIDENCE OF ABUSE. HONDA REIMBURSED FOR DIAGNOSIS & REPLACEMENT AT INDEPENDENT SHOP.

MY CAR HAS BLACK SOT ALL OVER IT! ON THE OUT SIDE. IT IS DRIVING SLOWLY WITH A FEEL OF A STALL? AND NOT GOING WELL WITH WHAT I FEEL IN THE POWER! I THINK IT MAY BE THE EMISSIONS CONTROLS? & THERE IS A BURNING SMELL WHEN I USE THE HEAT ? WHAT IF ANY THING CAN I DO FROM HERE ?? IT IS IN THE GARAGE AND JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT COMES FROM? I KNOW ABOUT THE OIL REFINERIES THAT ARE BURNING ? BUT I AM TOO FAR TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN ON MY AUTO? I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AN TOLD ME THAT IS WHAT IT IS ? BUT I HAVE HAD A LOT OF DAMAGE FROM THIEF'S HERE WHERE I LIVE! THE DRUG HEADS NEED TO GO OVER THE WALL I NEED TO SEES IF IT IS THE CAR????

THE HEATER-DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK IN THE WINTER. THE WINDSHIELD STARTS TO FROST OVER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED OR DRIVING SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 31,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND ON THE HONDA FORUM THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR OF CR-V. MANY COMPLAINTS HAD LESS MILEAGE THAN MY CR-V. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT RECALL THIS VEHICLE. NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!!

MY 2014 HONDA CR-V HAS NO HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I AM TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FRONT DEFROST DOES NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER SIDE, WHICH MAKES IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WARM AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND COLD AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT IS A CLOGGED HEATER CORE CAUSED BY THE FLUID HONDA USES.

THE A/C COMPRESSOR PULLEY BEARING SEAL IS BROKEN/BUSTED AND IS GRINDING CAUSING A BURNING SMELL. THE IDLER PULLEY BEARING SEAL IS BROKEN/BUSTED AND IS SQUEALING. ALL THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE. THIS AUTOMOBILE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BASIC ENGINE COMPONENTS. IS THIS A RARE CASE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OR IS IT THAT HONDA IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED TO BE A RELIABLE AUTOMOBILE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE FAILURE WAS FIRST NOTICED DURING AN OIL CHANGE AND THERE WAS HARDLY ANY OIL IN THE OIL PAN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KELLY HONDA (540 LYNNWAY, LYNN, MA 01905, (781) 484-0160) AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NORMALLY CONSUMED THAT AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THREE MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE AFTER NOTICING THE OIL LEVELS WERE LOW. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THE CONTACT TO RETURN AFTER 1,000 MILES. WHEN THE CONTACT RETURNED, THE DEALER CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE LEVELS WERE FINE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CONVINCED AND THE DEALER INFORMED HER TO DRIVE ANOTHER 1,000 MILES AND BRING THE VEHICLE BACK. WHEN THE CONTACT RETURNED, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIRS; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT COULD PAY THE DEALER $1,500 FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,500. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

CRV WAS RATTLING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. STARTED ONLY IN THE MORNING IN THE COLD AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY BUT AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT'S ENGINE FAILURE AND HAD NO OIL. WE HAD NO OIL LIGHT COME ON AND WE GET ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO AND OFFERED NO HELP. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A WORTHLESS 5 YR OLD CAR THAT I STILL OWE MONEY ON. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? WHY IS NOBODY INVESTIGATING THIS????

THERE IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH GRINDING AT COLD STARTUP THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE PART RECALL HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/KR20BAOXBO8

HEATER CORE KEEPS CLOGGING CAUSING ONLY COLD AIR TO BLOW ON DRIVER SIDE

WHEN CAR REACHES 60-70 MPH, IT SHUDDERS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO CHANGE GEAR. PERIODIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED DRASTICALLY. SCHOMP HONDA (1003 PLUM VALLEY LN, HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO, 1-(303) 798-1500) DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT/PROPELLER AND REAR AXLE MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

I WANT TO ASK YOU TO INVESTIGATE A PROBLEM THAT HAS HONDA WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR (VARIABLE TEMPORAL CONTROL) WHICH LEAD TO A RATTLE NOISE WHEN START IN COOL WEATHER AND MOST OF THE MECHANICS KNOW ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PRESENT THE FAIL WHEN STARTED IN COLD CONDITIONS. ON THEIR DEALER OWN WORDS: THE VTC IS WORN OUT CAUSING THE RATTLE SOUND AND CHAIN IS STRETCHED. THE TENSIONER CRACK SEAL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. ALL OF THEIR ANSWERS MAKE ME THINK IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT AND THAT HONDA SHOULD MAKE A RECALL. THE COST WAS THOUSAND AND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS (1,600). THEY NEEDED TO OPEN THE ENGINE AND THE NOISE DIDN'T GO AWAY EVEN AFTER THE REPAIRS AND THE CAR IS NOW ACCELERATED A LITTLE TOO MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND YOUR RESPONSE EITHER WAY IS INVESTIGATED OR NOT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING, THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. THE LATCH MECHANISM HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, WITH MULTIPLE LATCH REPLACEMENTS HAVING NOT SOLVED IT. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. IF ONE WERE IN A COLLISION AND THE DOORS WERE JAMMED, PEOPLE COULD NOT BE REMOVED THROUGH THE HATCH. IF ONE HAD A FLAT TIRE BESIDE THE ROAD, THE SPARE COULD NOT BE ACCESSED. IF MEDICATION WERE NEEDED, IT COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED PROMPTLY. THE DATE MENTIONED BELOW IS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN WE HAVE VISITED COLD WEATHER AREAS. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING.

CORROSION FROM THE RADIATOR BUILDS UP IN THE HEATER CORE AND CAUSES THE DRIVERS SIDE DEFROST TO BE INSUFFICIENT. IN WEATHER BELOW 25 DEGREES, ICE EASILY FORMS ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DEFROST CAN'T KEEP UP BECAUSE IT ISN'T WARM ENOUGH. VEHICLE HAS HAD HEATER CORE FLUSH MULTIPLE TIMES. IT'S TIME TO REALIZE THAT COMPONENTS ARE FAILED AND NEED ANSWERS. THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE DEFROST IS ESSENTIAL IN SAFE DRIVING.

A KNOWN TSB SHOWS THAT HONDA IS AWARE THAT ISSUES WITH THE RADIATOR/HEATER CORE IS CAUSING DRIVERS SIDE HEAT TO BE CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS INADEQUATE HEAT SUPPLY TO THE DRIVERS SIDE CAUSES ICE TO EASILY ACCUMULATE AND STICK TO THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD IN VIRTUALLY ANY WEATHER CONDITIONS BELOW 20 DEGREES FARENHEIT. THIS CAUSES MUCH CONCERN FOR VISIBILITY AND VARYING PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURES CAN MAKE VISIBILITY VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. HONDA NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THEIR FAULTY COMPONENTS AND RECALL THESE PARTS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE DEFROSTING ABILITIES AND MAKE OUR ROADWAYS SAFER. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MANAUFACTURERS TSB PERFORMED ON THE HEATER CORE TWICE WITH ISSUES STILL ARISING TODAY ONLY 20K MILES IN.

CAR SHAKES, JERKS, AND "JUDDERS" BETWEEN 20 AND 40MPH UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. THIS WAS DIAGNOSED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP AS BEING THE ISSUE ADDRESSED IN HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 15-086, BUT THEY WILL ONLY FIX IT AT THEIR COST IF YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. FIXING, ACCORDING TO HONDA REQUIRES REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER, UPDATING THE PCM, AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THAT'S A PRETTY EXPENSIVE BILL FOR IT BEING THEIR SOFTWARE ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE. CAR ALSO MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE ON COLD STARTS. WAS INFORMED THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR, BUT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT.

THE DRIVER SIDE HEAT VENT BLOWS OUT COLD AIR IN MY 2014 HONDA CRV. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO HONDA AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL. THIS COLD AIR CAUSES THE WINDOWS TO NOT DEFROST AND, THEREFORE, DIFFICULT TO SEE IN CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED ONCE AND THE ISSUE CAME BACK WITHIN 15,000 MILES. IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS UNSAFE DRIVING WITH FROSTED WINDOWS DUE TO NO HEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PROVIDE THE PROPER LIGHT COVERAGE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE LOW AND HIGH BEAM BULBS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HIGH AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ADJUSTED TO THE LOWER POSITION, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE LIGHTING FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DID NOT PROVIDE WIDE RANGE LIGHTING AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM SEEING A PEDESTRIAN IN THE DISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS ONLY ABLE TO SEE PEDESTRIANS AT A CLOSE DISTANCE WITH THE LOW BEAMS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

ENGINE RATTLE NOISE UPON COLD START.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR VENT BLOWS COLD AIR OUT OF THE VENTS AND TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. THUS, I AM UNABLE TO PROPERLY DEFROST MY FRONT WINDSHIELD ON MY 2014 HONDA CRV, CAUSING A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED TSB #14-063 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT YET REFUSES TO DO ANY SORT OF RECALL. THE TSB CALLS FOR A FLUSH OF THE HEATER CORE WITH CLR AND THEN THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE HEATER CORE GETS PLUGGED AGAIN. TO ME THIS IS A DESIGN/SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE HEAT IS ON AND THE CAR IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COLD STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN INTENSE GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE NOISE ONLY LASTED FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF ENGINE DAMAGE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND FORUMS REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH O'DONNELL HONDA (8620 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, ELLICOTT CITY, MD 21043, (410) 461-5000) WHILE THE WARRANTY WAS STILL VALID; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO REMEDY AT THE TIME. THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

NO HEAT DRIVERS SIDE

THE HEATER CORE IN MY 2014 HONDA CRV IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HEAT BLOWS HOT ON PASSENGER SIDE, BUT COLD ON DRIVER'S SIDE. MECHANIC SAYS HEATER CORE CLOGGED DUE TO SAND CASTING LEFT IN BLOCK WHEN MANUFACTURED OR ANTIFREEZE CAUSING CORROSION. THIS IS A KNOWN HONDA PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. BACK FLUSHING AND CHEMICALLY CLEANING HEATER CORE DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM.

HEATER BLOWS WARM AIR ON PASSENGER AND COLD AIR ON DRIVER. HEATER COIL IS PLUGGED

THE ANTI-FREEZE CORRODES THE RADIATOR CAUSING THE CORE TO BE BLOCKED. BLOWS HOT AIR ON PASSAGE SIDE AND COLD AIR ON DRIVER'S SIDE

IN AUGUST 2018 I BROUGHT VEHICLE TO PRIVATELY OWNED SHOP THAT I TRUST TO RESEARCH A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. MECHANIC FOUND THROUGH INSPECTION/RESEARCH THAT TIMING CHAIN LIKELY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ($1000 JOB) ON 2014 CR-V'S. AT THAT TIME MY VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES, SO IT WAS WITHIN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTEE PERIOD (5YRS/60KMI). THE MECHANIC ALSO FOUND THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING QUITE A BIT OF OIL FOR SUCH A NEW CAR AND HE SAID IT HAD A CONSUMPTION ISSUE. I CALLED HONDA IN AUGUST 2018, AND STARTED A CASE REGARDING OIL CONSUMPTION AND NOISE RELATED TO TIMING CHAIN. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BEGIN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND TO HAVE NOISE LOOKED AT. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO LIA HONDA WHO TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED TO START CONSUMPTION TEST B/C THE OIL WAS RECENTLY CHANGED AND IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF NEW OIL. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO KEELER HONDA IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 TO COMPLETE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHEN THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND TO HAVE THE NOISE CHECKED OUT. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE NOISE, STATING THE CAR WAS FINE. AS I DROVE THE CAR OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE NOISE GOT WORSE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY STATED I SHOULD BRING THE CAR BACK TO HONDA BECAUSE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN UNDER WARRANTEE AND SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG. I CALLED HONDA MANUFACTURER AND REFERENCED MY CASE FR

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S WITH ON 34,022 MILES, WHEN THE HEAT AND FAN/BLOWER IS ON, COLD AIR COMES FROM THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS WHILE WARM/HOT AIR BLOWS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. RESEARCH INDICATES A CLOG IN THE HEATER CORE. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS FOR THE PROBLEM ATTACHED.THIS ISSUE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM EITHER: 1) SAND LEFT IN THE COOLANT PASSAGES AFTER THE CASTING OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND OR 2) HONDA'S COOLANT CONTAINING SEDIMENT AND OR 3) HONDA'S COOLANT CAUSING WEAR TO SURFACES IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH. THE WINDSHIELD FREEZES UP WHEN TRYING TO DEFROST IT AND A SAFETY ISSUE IN WINTER. HONDA NEEDS TO COVER THIS REPAIR- PLEASE ADVISE, THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE TREMBLED. THE FAILURE SUBSIDED ONLY DURING DECELERATION. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TREMBLING FAILURE RETURNED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

FUEL CONSUMPTION. LOSING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. NO OIL LEAK..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A BROKEN ARM AND FOOT INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

GRINDING SOUND FOR 1-2 SECONDS AFTER THE ENGINE STARTS ESPECIALLY DURING COLD START. WHEN I GOOGLED IT, SAME SOUND THAT AFFECTING VTC ACTUATOR.

NO HEAT DRIVERS SIDE.... WINDSHIELD ICES UP AND IT IS AN ISSUE. HEATER CORE ISSUE.

THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS BLOW COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOW HOT AIR. THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED BY MINERAL BUILD UP.

CHRONIC ENGINE LIGHT FROM DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN. NOISE (RATTLING) FROM TIMING CHAIN AREA.THE TIMING CHAIN STARTED MAKING NOISE @ 80K. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO ILLUMINATE IN EARLY OCTOBER WITH CODE P0341. CEL ILLUMINATE ON START UP. AFTER CLEARING CODE VEHICLE DRIVING THE REST OF DAY WITHOUT CEL RE ILLUMINATING TO NEXT MORNING. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP (SEE ATTACHED) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REMOVED THE TIMING COVER EXPOSING FAILED PARTS. AFTER BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME NATURE REQUIRING TIMING CHAIN AND RELATED PARTS HAVING TO BE REPLACED ON 2013 AND 2014 HONDA CR-V MILEAGE AS 58,000 (SEE ATTACHED). ATTACHED IS A STATEMENT FROM THE MASTER CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN HOW PREFORMED THE REPAIRS. I ALSO HAVE RETAINED ALL PARTS REPLACED. WHEN THE CEL LIGHT ILLUMINATE THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT,STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT,AND ELECTRIC STEERING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED(SEE ATTACHED)

DRVERS SIDE FLOOR VENTS AND FRT VENTS AND DEFOGER BLOWES COOL AIR PASSENGERSIDE VENTS ALL BLOW HOT AIR. AC OPERATES OK HEAT IN WINTER IS PROBLEM. THERE IS A TECH BUL. OUT FOR REPAIR DUE TO HEATER CORE CLOGING UP. HONDA WILL NOT HONOR WARRENTY AND IS FOR 2012 -2014 HONDA CRV'S TECH BUL 14-063. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE FLUSH $400. CAR HAS 30,000MILES AND IS 4YRS OLD. THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I CANNOT BELIVE DEFROSTING DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE!!!! I EVEN HAVE 100,000MILE EXT HONDA CARE WARRENTY WHICH I PAYED $2000 FOR.

HATCH SWITCH/HANDLE DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE WEATHER BECOMES COLDER. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE IN MANY FORUMS AND IT AFFECTS EVEN CURRENT MODELS. WHEN IT WARMS UP OUTSIDE THEN IT WORKS AGAIN. THIS SURE SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN DEFECT WHICH HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS VIA A TB AND RECALL TO FIX.
