2014 Honda CR-V complaints

WHEN HEATER IS ON, COLD AIR COMES OUT OF DRIVERS SIDE VENTS AND HOT AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. IT SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEATER CORE.

CAR HESITATES AND THEN MAY SURGE ON ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY FROM FULL STOP, ROLLING STOP, OR LOW SPEED, AS IN HIGHWAY MERGING. I SUSPECT THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS INTERMITTENT, AT LEAST SEVERAL TIMES/WEEK FROM 2017-2018.

WHEN THEW HEATER IS ACTIVATED, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT HEAT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE PER TSB# 14-063, ATB 00239-01113 REV1 (1411). THIS COMPLAINT IS ALL OVER THE NET AND THE DEALER WILL NOT TOUCH IT...UNLESS I PAY A HIGH PRICE TO REPAIR A POORLY ENGINEERED HEATER CORE.

VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 86,000 MILES. TOOK TO DEALER COST WILL BE $1000.00 NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALLS ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND REPAIRS FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL

VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR FAILED AS DESCRIBED IN HONDA TSB 16-012. INFORMED BY HONDA DEALER THAT FAILURE WOULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE IF NOT REPAIRED. HONDA REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR.

PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT WHEN REAR ENDED AT ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH. SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK WHICH ALLOWED ME TO FLY FORWARD AND HIT DASH BOARD OR FRONT PILLAR

THE SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE TOLLWAY. THIS WAS PRECEDED BY A LOUD SOUND ABOVE MY HEAD. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF OBJECT IMPACT FROM THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE A DASH CAMERA AND SHOWED NO ABNORMAL ACTIVITY OR OBJECTS FLYING TOWARDS THE CAR. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THE SUNROOF. LUCKILY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED OR I WOULD'VE BEEN SHOWERED WITH BROKEN GLASS.

THE CAR IS HESITANCE DURING ACCELERATION, THE CAR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING, MORE NOTICED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. HIS STARTED AUG 20,2018, WEN I START THE CAR, THE ENGINE MAKES NOISE SHAKES DURING A COLD START. HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS IN LATE 2016 THRU MARCH 2018. THIS HAPPENS DURING COLD TEMPERATURES.

HEATER NOT BLOWING HOT AIR. HONDA ANTI-FREEZE SEEMS TO BE DISSOLVING RADIATOR

ENTERING A PARKING SPACE AT A LOCAL CVS THE CAR SELF ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH SPEED. THE CAR CHARGED FORWARD . THE BRAKES COULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT SLAMMED INTO 2 PARKED CARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORE ENTRANCE.ALSO, THE SAFETY BAGS DID NOT OPEN. THE CAR WAS LIKE A RAGING BULL. THE CAR WENT OVER 1 PARKING BLOCK CROSSING OVER THE FRONT OF THE STORE ,OVER ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING.. THE ACCELERATOR WENT BERSERK WITHOUT ANY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I AM UNABLE TO SCAN ANY REPORTS ELECTRONIALLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED AT 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LINDSAY HONDA (5959 SCARBOROUGH BLVD, COLUMBUS, OH 43232, (614) 864-5250) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND THE VEHICLE ALSO NEEDED A HARDWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN DIAGNOSED BY THE SAME DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

BATTERY DIES RANDOMLY AND CAR WILL NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP. DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM WITH BATTERY OR CAR. AFTER A YEAR OR SO OF THIS HONDA REPLACED BATTERY. IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN WITHIN ABOUT A YEAR. STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER OF BUSY HWY...NO WAY TO ESCAPE! THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED.

ENGINE SPUTTERS WHEN GOING INTO 2ND GEAR.

MY 2014 HONDA CRV WITH 75,000 MILES IS IN NEED OF A DRIVE SHAFT. I CANNOT FIND A RECALL ON THIS. HONDA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY MECHANIC WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN TROUBLE WITH THIS PART ON OTHER 2014 MODELS.AS A MATTER OF FACT THE PART WAS BACKORDERED! IT SEEMS ABSURD TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN IN 75,000 MILES. CAN YOU HELP ME? AS YOU KNOW THIS WILL COST ME BETWEEN $2500.00-$3000.00!!! OF COURSE I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA VEHICLE SINCE THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER TO THAT COMPANY]!

DRIVING SLOWLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-95 IN PHILA CAR STALLED AND WAS RESTARTED, BUT BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON. ENGINE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR WAS NORMAL. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF ADDITIONAL SLOW DRIVING CAR STARTED SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD. SOON AFTER PULLING OVER TO SHOULDER, FLAMES STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND A SHORT TIME LATER THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. 911 WAS CALLED, POLICE AND FIRE TRUCK CAME. CAR WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED. MILEAGE WAS APPROX 32,000 AND VEHICLE WAS WELL-MAINTAINED. PHILADELPHIA POLICE (OR POSSIBLY PA STATE POLICE) REPORT WAS FILED: PA2018.545044. I UPLOADED TWO VERY GRAPHIC PICTURES - ONE SHOWING ENTIRE VEHICLE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE, PLEASE CONTACT ME.

APRIL 26, 2018 I BOUGHT MY WIFE'S HONDA 2014 CR-V NEW IN OCTOBER OF 2014. WE ARE BOTH QUITE HAPPY WITH THE CAR, WITH ONE SIGNIFICANT EXCEPTION. THE TPMS DOES NOT WORK. IN 2014 HONDA CHANGED THEIR TPMS FROM THE CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM WHICH USES PRESSURE SENSORS IN THE WHEELS. INSTEAD, IT COMPARES THE REVOLUTIONS OF THE TIRES ON THE THEORY THAT A LOW TIRE WILL ROTATE FASTER THAN A NORMALLY INFLATED TIRE. THIS IS A GOOD IDEA IN THEORY. HOWEVER, IN PRACTICE IT DOES NOT WORK. THE SOFTWARE MUST ACCOUNT FOR THE FACT THAT THE TIRES DO NOT ROTATE EQUALLY ON TURNS. ALSO, SLIGHT (AND ACCCEPTABLE) DIFFERENCES IN PRESSURE OR TIRE WEAR WILL RESULT IN ERRORS THAT THE SOFTWARE MUST DEAL WITH. HONDA ISSUED TSB 14-006 IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT IF IT HAS BEEN APPLIED TO OUR CAR IT HAS NOT WORKED. THE TPMS LIGHT ON OUR CR-V IS UNRELIABLE. IT OCCASIONALLY LIGHTS WHEN THE TIRES ARE OK, BUT HAS FAILED TO INDICATE LOW OR FLAT TIRES FOR US SEVERAL TIMES. MY WIFE WENT TO THE DEALER IN PRESCOTT, AZ, THIS MORNING TO ASK WHETHER TSB 14'006 HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE CAR. THE REPLY WAS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND IF THE TPMS LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON, THERE IS NO NEED TO DO IT. WE CAN LIVE WITH A NON-FUNCTIONAL TPMS SYSTEM. OUR PREVIOUS CARS WORKED WELL WITHOUT IT. OUR NORMAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES REQUIRE CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES PERIODICALLY. FOR SOME REASON THIS CAR DOES NOT PULL TO THE SIDE WHEN A TIRE GOES FLAT. A TPMS SHOULD FLAG A TIRE FAILURE WHEN ON THE ROAD. THREE TIMES WE HAVE HAD A TIRE F

PURCHASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2014. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. SHORTLY AFTER, PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY LIT. A FEW DAYS AGO, SIDE AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR CAME ON AND STAYED ON.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE NOTICED SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT MY CRV THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD SPORADICALLY GOES ON AND OFF, AND I WONDERED IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE INSTABILITY OF THE AIRBAGS.

TAKATA RECALL - THE AIRBAG PICTURE ON THE DASH BOARD IS ON AND WILL NOT DISAPPEAR

THE TIRE GAUGE LIGHT WILL NOT RESET. I MADE SURE THE TIRES WERE INFLATED CORRECTLY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC FOR A NORMAL BRAKE REPAIR. I ASKED HIM TO REST THE TIRE GAUGE. HE ADVISED ME THE GAUGE SENSORS ARE NOT WORKING ON ANY OF THE TIRES.

DID NOT DEPLOY 2016 ACCIDENT IN MOTION STREET

VTC ACTUATOR IS FAULTY. JUST OVER 65000 MILES.

IT STARTED ABOUT 1YR AFTER GETTING THIS CRV, UPON CRANKING MAKING A GRINDING NOISE I TOOK TO SHOP SEVERAL TIMES THEY DID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NOW HERE LATELY I'VE HAD TO BOOST OF MY CRV SEVERAL TIMES, DO I TOOK TO SHOP TO CHECK BATTERY WHICH IS FINE, I DON'T HAVE TIME NOR MONEY TO KEEP GOING TO SHOP TO NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE. I DESPERATLY AM AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN WORK IN FEAR IT WONT CRANK. IT ACTS LIKE IT WANRS TO TURN OVER BUT DOESN'T THEN SOMETIMES IT CRANKS RIGHT UP. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A LEMON & HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE ONES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THIS CRAP. I THOUGHT HONDA WAS A RELIABLE VEHICLE. I TRADED IN NISSIAN FOR THIS UGHH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE POWER STEERING, STABILITY, TIRE PRESSURE, AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER (HUGGINS HONDA, 7551 NE LOOP 820, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX 76180) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,000.

THE COMPASS INDICATOR LIGHT WILL CONTINUOUSLY FLASH THE WRONG DIRECTION. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN STARTING THE CAR AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING EITHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. FOLLOWING THE RECALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL (DRIVING SLOWLY IN TIGHT CIRCLES) WILL USUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THIS FIX MAY LAST A DAY OR AS LITTLE AS 10 MINUTES.

GRINDING SOUND FROM ENGINE DURING COLD START. GRINDING SOUND LAST A FEW SECONDS WHEN ENGINE IS COLD.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, ON FEBRUARY 16TH OR 17TH I STRUGGLED TO PUT MY SEATBELT ON. THIS WAS THE FIRST I HAD SEEN OF ANY ISSUES WITH MY SEATBELT. AS I INVESTIGATED FOR THAT I COULD SEE THAT BOTH THE SEATBELTS IN THE BACK HAD BEEN AFFECTED AND SO HAD THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT. I BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA DEALERSHIP SCOTT ROBINSON IN TORRANCE AND WAS MET BY A VERY HOSTILE MEMBER OF STUFF WHO TOOK A LOOK AROUND MY CAR (NO TESTING OR INVESTIGATIONS) AND THEN QUOTED $1387 FOR PARTS AND $800 FOR LABOR. THE EMPLOYEE PROCEEDED, WITHOUT HAVING DONE ANY INVESTIGATIONS, THAT EITHER MY SON (REFERRING TO AUTISTIC BEHAVIORS) OR THE DOG DAMAGED MY SEATBELTS. I TOLD HIM NOT TO EQUATE AUTISM WITH VANDALISM, MY SON IS AUTISTIC BUT HE IS NOT A SAVAGE ALSO I CHALLENGE ANY HUMAN TO CHEW THROUGH SEATBELTS. THE EMPLOYEE THEN PROCEEDED TO CLAIM HE KNEW ALL ABOUT AUTISM AND COULD CRITICIZE AS HE PLEASED. I UNDERSTAND SCOTT ROBINSON ARE A PRIVATE DEALERSHIP BUT I WILL SAY THE BEHAVIOR OF THEIR STAFF IS APPALLING. I DECIDED IT WOULD BE BEST I TAKE MY CAR AND LEAVE AS I FELT THAT THE LACK OF INVESTIGATION AND IGNORING THE FACT THAT THERE IS A WARRANTY ON THE SEATBELTS TOPPED WITH INSULTING MY DISABLED SON WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE THERE ANYMORE. I HOPE HONDA WILL HELP ME WITH THIS AND INVESTIGATE THE BELT FEED AS IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUE IS INTERNAL RATHER THAN EXTERNAL. SOMETHING INSIDE THE BELT FEED IS CATCHING OR GRAZING THAT IS HAS WORN THE BELT DOWN INTO FRAYING.

I PURCHASED MY USED CERTIFIED 2014 HONDA CR-V EX-L 11/2016 AND THE CAR SEEMED TO RUNNING SMOOTH AND VERY QUITE. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE FIRST SERVICE CALL THE CAR DIDN'T RUN THE SAME, I EVEN WHEN BACK A FEW DAYS AFTER THE CAR WAS SERVICED. SINCE THE IF I MAKE A SUDDEN STOP THE CAR STOPS AND I FINALLY HEAR THE TRANSMISSION CATCHING UP AND THIS CAUSE THE CAR TO JERK BACK IN THE SITTING POSITION. IF I AM GOING ABOUT TO GO THROUGH MY DRIVE THRU MINI MARKET AND I HAVE TO WAIT ON ANOTHER CAR AND THEN PROCEED THE TRANSMISSION ACTS AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE AND IT FINALLY JUMPS INTO GEAR WHICH ALLOWS THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS MY 5TH PURCHASE WITH HONDA, 1988 HATCH BACK CIVIC, 1990 HONDA ACCORD, HONDA CIVIC, 2003 HONDA ELEMENT AND NOW 2014 HONDA CR-V EX-L. IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE FOUND IF I AM SITTING AND HIT THE GAS THE CAR EXCELS REALLY FAST AND IT SCARES ME. I HAVE READ A FEW REVIEWS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES WITH HOW THE CAR EXCELS REALLY FAST.

THE ORIGINAL BATTERY OF MY HONDA CRV KEEPS DYING. LOCAL HONDA DEALER DID NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT AND I HAVE TO PAY $200 OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE. ITS BEEN ONLY 3 YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE BATTERY IS ALREADY DRAINING OUT. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN UNSAFE PLACES AS A RESULT, WAITING FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME JUMPSTART THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER (DUBLIN HONDA), THEY SAID THE BATTERY IS FAULTY AND ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE IT. I ENDED UP PAYING $200 FOR REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY AND ALL THE INCONVENIENCE OF GETTING STRANDED AT UNSAFE, UNSECURE PLACES WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING A SNOW STORM THE HEATER WAS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE WINDSHIELD ICED OVER AND I COULD NOT SEE.

ENGINE METAL RATTLING NOISE ON COLD START UP. VERY DISTURBING. ENGINE HAS A ROUGH START AS RESULT.

HONDA CRV 2014 NOICE IN THE ENGINE WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR AND IS ANNOYING VERY BAD . NIGHT LIGHT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY THE LIGHT IS NOT BRIGHT AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AC A GAS SMELL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE AC

ON COLD START, THE ENGINE GRINDS FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND THIS HAS HAPPENED PERIODICALLY SINCE. DEALER SERVICE SHOP USUALLY CANNOT REPLICATE IT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS ON COLD START AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. FINALLY GOT THEM TO REPLICATE THE NOISE IN JANUARY 2016 AND DIAGNOSED AS A VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM. APPARENTLY A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND "THEY FIX THESE ALL THE TIME, KNOWN ISSUE". A WEEK LATER THE NOISE STARTED AGAIN AND NOW THE DEALER CAN'T REPLICATE AGAIN. I ONLY HAVE 10 MONTHS LEFT ON MY WARRANTY AND THEY SAY THEY WON'T REPLACE IT AGAIN BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED AGAIN ASAP. WORRIED ABOUT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE, GIVEN THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY ONE.

RATTLING NOISE FOR 1 TO 3 SECONDS WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 35 DEGREES F. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY SINCE PURCHASE. HAVE TALKED WITH DEALER WITH NO RESOLUTION.

REAR DOOR LATCH WON'T OPEN IN COLD WEATHER. THIS STARTED WHEN THE CAR WAS JUST 2 YEARS OLD. NOW 3 1/2 AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

MY 2014 CR-V EX-L BEGAN TO GIVE ME STARTING PROBLEMS SINCE LATE 2016. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY, AND CAN OCCUR EITHER IN MORNING OR DAYTIME. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED AND I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY BLAMED IT ON SOME CHARGING SOFTWARE ISSUE AND SAID THEY FIXED IT BY INSTALLING A SOFTWARE UPDATE. IT WORKED FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS AFTER BUT THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED LATER. IT CAN HAPPEN IN SUMMER OR WINTER, AND TOTALLY RANDOMLY. HONDA DEALER SERVICE ASSURED ME MULTIPLE TIMES THEY CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH BATTERY OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AT THIS POINT I AM TOTALLY AT LOSS ABOUT WHAT TO DO. I CAN GET A NEW BATTERY, BUT WHAT AM I GOING TO DO IF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. I CAN NEVER PREDICT WHEN OR HOW IT WILL SHOW UP. IT CAN START WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS EVEN ON A REALLY COLD DAY, OR IT WOULD NOT START AFTER I MAKE A 20 MINUTE STOP AT THE GROCERY STORE. NEVER EXPECTED THIS WHEN I BOUGHT A HONDA.

2014 HONDA CR-V, LX DO NOT HAVE FLOOR VENT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WAS JUST NOTICED IN A VERY COLD WEATHER AND HAD TO HAVE ELDERLY PASSENGER TO TRANSPORT. SO FAR THERE WAS NO OTHER RIDER IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE HAD THE OTHER VEHICLE FOR SUCH USE. THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR VENT WAS BLOWING BURNING HOT AIR, WHILE IT IS FREEZING COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AREA.

SUMMER 2016, DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE CLOSED SUNROOF "EXPLODED", VIOLENTLY SHAKING THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION, THE REMAINING GLASS WAS BOWED OUTWARD, AND THE CLOSED SUN SHADE HAD NO DAMAGE. THERE WAS ALSO NO NEARBY OVERPASS, OR MUCH TRAFFIC - IN OTHER-WORDS, SO EVIDENCE THAT A ROCK OR OTHER PROJECTILE BROKE THE SUNROOF FROM THE OUTSIDE GOING INWARDS

RATTLING NOISE FOR 1 OR 2 SECONDS WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 35 DEGREES F.

AS THE TEMPERATURES DROP, MY CAR MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS SEIZING IN THE ENGINE WHENEVER I START THE CAR WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THE NOISE ONLY LASTS A FEW SECONDS, AFTER WHICH THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY FINE. THE PROBLEM TENDS TO OCCUR WHENEVER I START THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING UNUSED FOR HOURS IN COLD WEATHER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDAS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER DRAGS WATER ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DURING THE RETURN SWIPE FROM THE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BACK TO CENTER, OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING. THE HARDER IT RAINS, THE WORSE THE OBSTRUCTION IS. I'VE TAKEN VIDEO WITH MY PHONE AND GIVEN IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CHANGED OUT THE WIPER BLADE IN CASE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT IT CONTINUES. IT IS VERY BAD DURING HEAVIER RAINS AND WHEN DRIVING AT FASTER SPEEDS. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE AT DRIVING SPEEDS OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENS GOING STRAIGHT AND ON TURNS. IT STARTED WHEN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW, BUT I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THIS SITE WHILE FOLLOWING UP ON A RECALL NOTICE I RECENTLY RECEIVED IN THE MAIL.

ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING SOUND UPON START UP ON COLD MORNINGS FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE PARKED. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED CAR. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS ABOUT THE VTC ACTUATOR, BUT THIS WAS NEVER MENTIONED TO ME. CONCERNED THIS WILL LEAD TO PROBLEMS IF NOT ADDRESSED.

THE TRUNK LATCH STICKS AND CAUSES YOU TO BE UNABLE TO OPEN YOUR TRUNK. OVER THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS THE LATCH STARTED TO STICK WHICH I CHALKED UP TO THE COLD WEATHER CAUSING IT TO STICK BUT NOW IT DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL.

VEHICLE SHAKES WHILE IN MOTION WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN 25MPH-45MPH USING OVER-DRIVE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN OVER-DRIVE IS TURNED OFF. TRANSMISSION COMPUTER HAS BEEN UPDATED BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS HOPED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS ON-GOING.

I WAS DRIVING 45 MILES A HOUR DOWN A STREET . I HIT MY BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT WORK AND MY SEATBELT LOCKED AND I HIT A CAR HEAD ON . I HIT HIS DRIVER DOORS FRONT AND BACK. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY

TAMARA RECALL ON AIRBAGS. WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOY THEY MAY CONTAIN AND/OR SPREAD METAL SEPSIS TOWARD VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

VTC ACTUATOR GRINDS ON START UP ..RECURRING ON FIRST START UP... I SEE DOZENS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS WHY NOT A RECALL

ON COLD START ENGINE MAKES LOUD GRINDING SOUND. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2016 AND HAS CONTINUOUSLY DONE THIS ON COLD MORNINGS

AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. THIS ONLY OCCURS ON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE DOT HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN SB-10041669-6712 HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE OCTOBER 6,2012 AND THEREFOR ONLY COVERS HONDA CR-V'S UP UNTIL 2012. THIS ISSUE IS EASILY FOUND ON HONDA FORUMS SUCH AS HONDAPROBLEMS.COM AND MULTIPLE TIMES HERE: HTTPS://HONDA-TECH.COM/FORUMS/HONDA-ELEMENT-CR-V-156/2014-CR-V-GRINDING-NOISE-START-UP-3228595/ 5 YEARS FOR A SERVICE BULLETIN UPDATE IS SIMPLY IRRESPONSIBLE PROBLEM MANAGEMENT ON HONDA'S BEHALF. THE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE IS READILY AVAILABLE FROM MANY CR-V OWNERS ON FORUMS, NOT TO MENTION THE LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS DIRECTLY ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND TAKE ACTION.

UPON STARTING CAR IN THE MORNING, CAR IS STATIONARY, WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING, THE ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE, IF ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS.
