2014 Honda CR-V complaints

OUT OF THE BLUE, MY HONDA CR-V 2014 WON'T START, I HAVE TO JUMP IT, AND WENT TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE, GOT MY BATTERY CHECK OUT AND EVERYTHING LEVEL OF THE BATTERY CAME BACK NORMAL. LUCKY ME, IT WAS HAPPENED ON THE WEEKEND AND I HAD SOMEONE WHO HAPPENED TO BE AROUND AND HELP ME. I WAS SO AFRAID THAT IT COULD HAPPENED TO ME ANY TIME, SO I DECIDED TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. MAYBE THE CASHIER THINKING I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO WASTE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT BURNING MY MONEY FOR UNNECESSARY THINGS. I PAID: $144.93 (TAX INCLUDED) I DON'T THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE FOR A 2 YEARS OLD CAR AND BATTERY TEST CAME OUT NORMAL, NOT WEAK. HOPE THIS IS NOT A MAJOR THING, BUT WHO KNOWS.

EVERY 14-15 DAYS, I AM HAVING TO GET A JUMP BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR "SHUDDERS" WHEN APPROACHING 20 MPH AND 40MPH.

THE LIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT GOOD. VERY HARD TO SEE WITH AT NIGHT USING DIMS AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. DON'T THINK THAT IT IS AN ADJUSTMENT OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, THINK IT IS A ENGINEERING PROBLEM IN THE DESIGN FOR THE WHOLE LIGHTING HOUSING AND USE OF BULBS. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE! MY OLDER 2003 CR-V WITH HAZED OVER COVERS DID A BETTER JOB THAN THIS NEWER VEHICLE BY 11 YEARS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,265. UPDATED 12/13/16*LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE CHECKED AND THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR WAS DISABLED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT : THE TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINS ON WEATHER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR MOVING. THIS HAS BEEN RESET USING THE MANUAL, BY A TIRE CENTER AND ALSO BY A HONDA DEALER. AFTER THE HONDA SERVICE THE LIGHT REMAINED OFF FOR I DAY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO IGNORE IT ...REALLY THAT IS THE ANSWER!

TAKATA RECALL: I CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS IN SAN MARCOS AND SAN ANTONIO IN MARCH 2016. I WAS TOLD THEN, THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL AND NO LOANER CARS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE EFFECTED. WE WERE TOLD PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE EARLY SUMMER. NOW WE RECEIVE A LETTER THAT SAYS PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FALL. I AM A WORKING MOTHER OF TWO WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES TO DRIVE. SO MY CHILDREN AND I ARE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN THIS DEATH TRAP, WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THE ANXIETY IS CAUSES US IS GREAT AND WE HAVE LIMITED OUR TRAVELS THIS SUMMER, DUE TO FEARS OF SOMETHING HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!! WE NEED A LOANER VEHICLE, SO THAT MY FAMILY CAN BE SAFE UNTIL PARTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AT 9:25 AM. NONE OF THE TIRES WERE UNDER INFLATED. AFTER CHECKING THE TIRES I RESET THE DEVICE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS IS HAPPENED AND IT OCCURRED A FEW DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED INCLUDING ROTATING THE TIRES. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 70 MPH ON A CLOUDY DAY WITH TEMPERATURE AT 73

TPNS LIGHT IS ON PERMANENTLY EVEN THOUGH TIRES ARE INFLATED CORRECTLY NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN TYRES NEED INFLATING LIGHT ON WILL NOT ALLOW EMISSIONS TEST TO BE COMPLETED IN MA UNLESS ITS FIXED PASSENGER AIR BAG STAYS ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME ALSO IT MAKES A NOISE WHEN STARTED IN THE MORNING OR WHEN IDLE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT WORKING RIGHT.

IN MOTION AND STATIONARY THE TIRE INFLATION LIGHT REMAINS ON UNLESS RESET. TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL TIRES IS THE SAME. THIS HAPPENED ONCE TWO WEEKS AGO. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST 2014. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE TIRES NEEDED AIR TURNED ON. WE HAD THE WHEELS INFLATED AND THE LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID SOMETHING TO MAKE THE LIGHT INDICATING THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE INFLATED TURN OFF. IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT, THE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN WE TURNED ON THE IGNITION, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WE HAVE IGNORED IT. SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO BE TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER, IT REMAINS ON WHENEVER WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT IS ANNOYING AND CAN BE DANGEROUS.

SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (NEW) IT MAKES PERIODIC ELECTRICAL SHORTING NOISES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE (TURNING THE IGNITION KEY). THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, BUT MANY TIMES. OUR FAMILY IS AFRAID THE VEHICLE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO SHOCK OUR HANDS - THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 15K MILES ON IT BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE CAME FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN DESIGNATED BY DEALER TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIR BAGS BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS WILL BECOME AVALIABLE. DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE AS TO TYPICAL WAIT TIMES FOR SUCH REPLACEMENT?

REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE WORN COMPLETELY WITH ROTORS SHOWING DEEP GROOVES. FRONT BRAKES, ON THE CONTRARY, APPEAR TO BE ALMOST NEW - THICK PADS AND SMOOTH ROTORS. THE CAR'S MILEAGE IS 17,412

BRAKES DON'T DISENGAGE NORMALLY : AFTER RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR IS STILL BRAKES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND, THEREFORE, SLOWING DOWN.

VEHICLE JERKS WHILE SHIFTING THE GEAR LEVER FROM PARKING INTO ANY GEAR WITH BRAKES APPLIED. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

VEHICLE JERKS AT GEAR CHANGE WHILE DRIVING. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

STARTER STICKS AND DOESN'T DISENGAGE FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER ENGINE TURNS AND STARTS. AS A RESULT, STARTER SOLENOID GEAR GRINDS AGAINST FLYWHEEL TEETH, CAUSING DAMAGES TO THE TEETH OF SOLENOID AND/OR FLYWHEEL. THIS MECHANICAL FAULT OCCURS EVERY TIME AFTER A VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR A DAY OR MORE. WEATHER (COLD OR HOT) DOESN'T AFFECT THE DEFECT.

INTERMITTENT CLICKING SOUND EMITS UNDER EITHER FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OR UNDER CENTER FRONT ARMREST WHILE DRIVING. THE CLICKING SOUNDS DURATION IS ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS WITH INTERMISSION OF SEVERAL SECONDS. THE SOUNDS REPEAT AFTER CHECKING PROPER SEAT'S ENGAGEMENT AND EMPTYING CENTER ARMREST COMPARTMENT OF ANY OBJECTS.

IS MY CAR BEING RECALLED FOR AIRBAGS?

ON A FLORIDA HWY AT ABOUT 60 MPH A SMALL TRUCK TRAVELING ON LANE TO RIGHT OF ME FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON ENTERED MY LANE. BY INSTINCT I YANKED THE STEERING TO THE LEFT ONLY TO REALIZE IMMEDIATELY THAT A VEHICLE AT THAT MOMENT WAS PASSING ME ON THE LEFT. AT THAT MOMENT THE SMALL TRUCK ON MY RIGHT REALIZED THAT HE WAS ENTERING MY LANE.AND RETURNED TO HIS LANE. AT THAT POINT I HAD MADE A QUICK MANEUVER TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT THEN LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AS IT MOVED IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER A FEW TIMES TO BOTH SIDES.I REGAINED CONTROL ONLY AFTER PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. A MIRACLE THAT I DID NOT HIT ANY ONE.I AM A RETIRED LONG DISTANCE BUS DRIVER.(OVER 50 YEARS) WITH AN ENVIABLE RECORD OF NO ACCIDENTS..

MY CR-V IS 18 MONTHS OLD AND SINCE LAST DEC. HAS THE GRINDING SOUND WHEN FIRST STARTED. THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGNAL LIGHTS UP ON OCCASION BUT WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED NO TIRE IS LOW. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. HOPE SO, BUT AFTER SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS NOT SO SURE. BOUGHT THIS CAR BASED ON FRIENDS RECOMMENDATIONS AND HONDA'S REPUTATION. WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WEBSITE PRIOR TO PURCHASE!

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT FUEL LINE LEAK. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO DEALER THEY ADVISED AN ANIMAL HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE FUEL LINE. THEY SEE THIS ISSUE REPEATEDLY. HONDA HAS COATED THE FUEL LINES WITH A SOY-BASED INSULATOR THAT ATTRACTS ANIMALS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

WE HAVE 4 INSTANCES WHERE WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO START THE CRV BECAUSE OF A LOW BATTERY PROBLEM. THIS NECESSITATED USING A JUMP STARTER TO START THE CAR. I HAVE MEASURED THE VOLTAGE WITH A MULTI METER AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE THE VOLTAGE WILL BE ABOUT 12.4 VOLTS AND THE NEXT MORNING IT WILL BE ABOUT 11.8. MY LOAD TESTER INDICATED A WEAK RATING. SO OBVIOUSLY IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. BOUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA SUBARU OF SANTA FE IN NM ON 4/20/16 AND DEALT WITH JAMES THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE SAID THAT THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE BATTERY OPERATED WITHIN SPECS. UPON ARRIVING HOME, 100 MILES AWAY, THE SAME SUB STANDARD CONDITION REOCCURRED. CONTACTING JAMES WITH MY SITUATION, JAMES SAID THAT BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS WITHIN SPECS HE WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. MAYBE 12.4 VOLTS IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN CAUSING A SURFACE CHARGE BUT IF IT DROPS TO 11.8 OVERNIGHT SOMETHING IS ASKEW. IF THEY HAD PERFORMED A LOAD TEST THAT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BEEN EVIDENT. WE NOW CARRY A JUMP STARTER WITH US BUT MY WIFE IS NOT ABLE TO USE IT WHICH I CONSIDER A SAFETY PROBLEM. JUDGING FROM ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ON THIS SITE, HONDA SHOULD BE MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE NEEDS OF ITS CUSTOMERS. AFTER READING THESE POSTS, MOST POTENTIAL BUYERS OF HONDA PRODUCTS WOULD HAVE SERIOUS RESERVATIONS. WE TRAVEL FULL TIME IN A MOTORHOME AND WILL NEED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSE

MY BRAND NEW HONDA CRV 2014 HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SUSPENSIONS. MY CONCERNS ARE MY SUSPENSION ARE NOT RELIABLE AND COULD CAUSED INJURY OR DEATHS 4 PICTURES ARE INCLUDED IN MY REPORT.

THIS CAR ONLY HAS ONE ADJUSTMENT FOR BOTH THE HIGH AND LOW HEADLIGHTS. CURRENTLY THE LOW BEAMS ARE ADEQUATE WHEN USING FACTORY SETTING. WHEN HIGH BEAMS ARE SELECTED, THE NEAR VISION OF THE ROAD IS LOST AND THE HIGH BEAMS SHINE TOO HIGH. IF ADJUSTMENT IS MADE TO LOWER THE HIGH BEAM SO THAT IT PROVIDES DISTANCE VISION AND ROAD VISION THEN IT LOWERS THE LOW BEAM VISION OF THE ROAD TO A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. BOTH CONDITIONS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME. ONLY AN UNACCEPTABLE COMPROMISE OF THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MUST BE MADE TO HAVE SOME USE OF BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE LIGHTS WERE WITHIN SPECS AFTER SHINNING THE LIGHTS ON TO THE GARAGE DOOR WITH IT CLOSED. NOT VERY SCIENTIFIC METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE LIGHT SETTINGS AND LEAVES A LOT OF ROOM FOR ERROR. MY ONLY CHOICE IS TO DRIVE WITH BOTH SETTINGS BEING A COMPROMISE. ALL THE CARS I HAVE OWNED FOR THE PAST 55 YEARS HAVE HAD ADJUSTMENTS FOR BOTH. I CAN ONLY ASSUME HONDA FELT IT AN ACCEPTABLE SAFETY RISK AND MONEY SAVER FOR THEM FOR DRIVERS TO ONLY HAVE ONE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE HEADLIGHTS. I AM ATTACHING THE SERVICE REPORT FROM TODAYS VISIT TO MY DEALER.

BOUGHT 2014 HONDA CRV THE ENGINE START MAKING THE GRINDING NOISE ON START UP IN COLD WEATHER. BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS KNOW ISSUE AND HONDA IS WORKING ON IT. FUNNY THING IS I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL OF CRVS AND THEY HAVE NO ENGINE GRIND ON START UP. THIS IS COMMON IN 2012-12014 AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES. FROM WHAT I READ IT SOUNDS LIKE HONDA HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE SINCE THE 2012 MODEL, AND IT'S NOW 2016. II'M PRETTY SURE I WILL TRADE IN MY CRV FOR A SOMETHING ELSE THAN A HONDA.

THE CAR ENGINE CRANKS UP LIKE ITS ALREADY ENGAGED EVEN AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT OR FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I TOLD THE CAR DEALER ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THE MANUFACTURING KNOWS, BUT WAS EARLY LAST YEAR. IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED, EITHER AT HOME OR WORK ON A FLAT SURFACE. ( PARKING LOT OR DRIVEWAY)

GRINDING NOISE LASTING A FEW SECONDS DURING IGNITION START UP AFTER CAR HAS BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT. BEGAN WHEN CAR WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY WHEN TEMPS ARE BELOW 60

HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTED SOMETIMES. ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW RUBBING AT TIMES WHEN IT IS RAISED OR LOWERED. WISH THE HOOD RELEASE WAS BETTER LOCATED AND MARKED.

GRINDING/SQEEKING ENGINE NOISE DURING INITIAL STARTUP ON MOSTLY COLD DAYS.

THE CAR ENGINE WILL GRIND WHEN STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A COLD DAY. IT DOES THEN START BUT IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS ON THREE OCCASIONS IT FAILED TO START AT ALL. THE LAST TIME BEING APRIL 1, 2016. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE BATTERY IS FINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT IT STILL GRINDS AT START UP. THE BEST DESCRIPTION IS TWO PIECES OF METAL GRINDING TOGETHER. LOT OF HONDA OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN PARTICULAR ON THE WEB SITE BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/13-DEAR-HONDA-FEEDBACK-FORUM/36273-2-4L-ENGINE-NOISE-COLD-START-UP-CRV-ACCORD.HTML

ON COLD MORNINGS, THE CAR STARTS WITH A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO.

DRIVING CLEAR WEATHER, VERY GOOD STREET CONDITION, GOING 50 MILES PER HOUR PULLED TO ALMOST A FULL STOP FOR A LIGHT SIGNAL AND THEN HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. MOVED FORWARD AND FELT TIRE WAS FLAT. PILLED OVER AND OBSERVED THE SIDE OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT. 2014, HONDA CRV PURCHASED BRAND NEW. MILES ON THE VEHICLES 13,485. NO WEAR ON ALL TIRES VISIBLE. TIRE JUST BLEW UP AND APPEARS LIKE A DEFECT SINCE THERE WAS NO TIRE DAMAGE. TIRE PRESSURE WAS AT PROPER PSI.

OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS. ON STARTING WHEN COLD, A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN WILL HONDA EITHER FIX OR COMPENSATE OWNERS?

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH. SINCE DECEMBER, THERE ARE SOME MORNINGS, WHEN I START THE CAR, THE ENGINE AREA EMITS A GRINDING SOUND THAT LASTS FOR FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE DEALER THINKS IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR, A PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE DURING COLD WEATHER. IN ADDITION, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000.

SOME MORNINGS WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THERE IS A GRINDING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT LASTS A SECOND OR TWO. IT BEGAN HAPPENING THIS WINTER AT AROUND MILEAGE19K. I CALLED THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER, HE KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM A DEFECTIVE VTC ACTUATOR. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT HONDA IS CONTINUING TO PRODUCE THE SAME DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR THEY HAVE PRODUCED FOR THE PAST 8/9 YEARS AND THAT THE HONDA CORPORATION WILL NOT ALLOW DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO REPLACE THEM. I AM CONCERNED AT SOME POINT ENGINE PARTS ARE BEING DAMAGED. I THINKING HONDA IS IGNORING THIS PROBLEM.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES IS AT THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY, MANY TIMES. FIRST TIME I HAD THE CAR ONLY TWO DAYS. THE DEALER "RECALIBRATED" THE SYSTEM. THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

MY CAR WAS ON A FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH DRIVING IN ECONOMY MODE. I WAS ON MY BLUETOOTH AND I HAD NOT CHANGED LANES. SOMETIME DURING THIS 2 MINUTE PHONE CALL I HAD ACCELERATED AS I HAD TRAFFIC ENTERING FROM MY RIGHT AND FELT THE CAR SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR. I ENDED MY PHONE CALL ABRUPTLY AS MY CAR WAS ACTING UP AND NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. IT MAY HAVE BEEN HESITATING. I REALIZED MY CAR JUST KEPT ACCELERATING AND OUT OF MY CONTROL. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW THE ENGINE MOTOR. I WOULD ALTERNATE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR AND BACK TO BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. THERE WAS NO GIVE ON THE ACCELERATOR--LIKE IT WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 OF THESE ATTEMPTS TO GAIN CONTROL, I HAD CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND EXITED AT THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AND I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY, I REACHED DOWN TO MAKE SURE MY FLOOR MAT WAS IN PLACE AND IT WAS. I THEN DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER AND LEFT IT THERE. SINCE IT IS THE WEEKEND THEY WON'T BE LOOKING AT IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AND DURING ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE HESITATED THEN JERKED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE'S ALARM ACTIVATED AND FAILED TO DEACTIVATE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALARM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DETERMINE THE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE JERKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. UPDATED 04/20/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN MARCH 2016. UPDATED 03/22/17.*JB

THE DRIVERS MIC AUDIO IS SO POOR THE CALLER TO THE CAR CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE MOVING 40MPH+ TO HEAR THE AUDIO BREAKING UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH THE BLUETOOTH A MAJOR FACTOR.

I BOUGHT MY CRV IN OCT 2013. FOR THE SECOND WINTER THE CONTINUES TO BE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE ON FIRST START OF THE DAY. IT MUST BE IN THE 20S OR LOWER FOR THE NOISE. THIS WINTER I HAD THE DEALER VERIFY THE PROBLEM. SAID IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR AND HONDA IS WORKING ON IT. DEALER AGREES IT IS A DEFEAT, BUT HONDA HAS NO FIX IN PLACE. APPARENTLY REPLACING THE VTC ACTUATOR WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS NOW. STILL NO WORD. I THINKING HONDA IS JUST MOVING ON AND IGNORING THIS PROBLEM.

MY ELDERLY MOTHER DIED IN A FIRE IN HER 2014 HONDA CR-V. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES TO THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS FIRST SEEN WHEN FULLY ENGULFED BY FLAME, 10 TO 20 MINUTES AFTER MY MOTHER WAS SEEN GETTING INTO HER CAR. UNKNOWN IF SHE LET IT IDLE BEFORE DRIVING. SHE DROVE ABOUT 1200 FEET. HER CAR WAS FOUND IN WET IVY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HER KEY WAS IN HER HAND, AND SHE WAS LEANING TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, APPARENTLY TRYING TO ESCAPE THE FIRE. (BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ON A HILL, LEANING TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE, FLAMES FROM BENEATH THE CAR WERE STRONGEST ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND WOULD HAVE BLOCKED HER EXIT. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT COMPLETELY BURNED.) IT IS IMPROBABLE THAT THE IVY IGNITED BECAUSE IT WAS LATE FALL IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THE WEATHER HAD BEEN VERY WET FOR DAYS. I BELIEVE THAT A FIRE IGNITED SOMEWHERE IN THE VEHICLE AND THIS FIRE CAUSED MY MOTHER TO GO OFF THE ROAD. AN AUTOPSY SHOWED SHE DIED OF SMOKE INHALATION AND BURNS. THE CAR WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH RECENT SERVICING. NO SIGNS OF RECENT OIL LEAKAGE IN GARAGE. WE HAVE LOCATED OTHER 2012-2014 CR-V FIRES THAT BEGAN SPONTANEOUSLY. SOME BLAMED ON LEAVES TRAPPED IN VEHICLE, ANOTHER ON FLUID LEAKS, INCLUDING TWO ON SAFERCAR.GOV. (NHTSA NOS. 10654938 AND 10546273). I RETAIN THE VEHICLE. ## VIN PASSED ## HONDA CRV 2014 ##

COLD WEATHER ENGINE STARTS WITH RATTLE SOUND VTC ACTUATOR ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE ADEQUATE SIDE VIEW LIGHTING. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING INTO A CURVE. IN ADDITION, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED INADEQUATE DISTANCE OF THE ROAD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AT THE END OF 2013. ON OLD MORNING AND SPORADICALLY AND COOL MORNINGS IN THE SPRING AND FALL THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD. IT LOOKS LIKE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES NOW TO A HONDA DEALER AND EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY ARE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND DO NOT HEAR IT THEMSELVES. THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX OR REPAIR IT YET IT SEEMS TO BE SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM.

COLD WEATHER STARTUP, GRINDING NOISE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

AFTER STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT TURNS GREEN HAD NO ACCELERATION UNTIL PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL UP AND DOWN TWICE. THIS HAS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN. IT SEEMS THE ENGINE STAYS AT IDLE. ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TPS LIGHT GOING ON FOR NO REASON AND NOW A GROWLING SOUND WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND IT IS COLD OUTSIDE BELOW 20 DEGREES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. MANUFACTURE NOT NOTIFIED. THESE ARE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM OTHER CR-V OWNERS NUMEROUS TIMES A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED GET A BEFORE SOMEONE LOSSES THERE LIFE OR CAUSES OTHER TO LOOSE THEIRS.
