2014 HONDA CR-V Engine Problems

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.

GRINDING SOUND AT ENGINE START UP IN COLD WEATHER. IT HAPPENS EVERY WINTER.

GRINDING SOUND AT START UP ON COLD MORNINGS,PROBABLY FAULTY VTC ACTUATOR WHICH HONDA WILL OR CANNOT FIX. THIS GRINDING HAS TO BE DOING SOME KIND OF DAMAGE THAT WILL BE MORE SERIOUS LATER TO MY VEHICLE.

WITH COLD STARTS (STARTING THE ENGINE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING) THERE IS A GRINDING RUMBLE FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT LASTS A SECOND OR TWO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND THE SERVICE DEPT HAS SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. YESTERDAY, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT EXAMINED AND REPAIRED, AND THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMED 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 YEARS AND THAT THE HONDA CORPORATION WILL NOT ALLOW DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO REPLACE THEM. "THEY'RE ALL FAULTY, SO IT WOULDN'T MATTER." THIS DEFECT IN A CRITICAL ENGINE PART MUST BE ADDRESSED AND THE PART REPLACED.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY AFTER IT SITTING FOR A WHILE, IT WILL MAKE A RATCHETING SOUND AFTER STARTING. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED FROM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR. WAS TOLD THEY ARE WORKING ON IT AND WOULD HAVE A FIX IN FEBRUARY.

MY VEHICLE MAKES A TERRIBLE SOUND UNDER THE HOOD UPON STARTING WHEN IT IS COLD. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED IT IS THE VTC ACTUATOR VALVE (MOST LIKELY). TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, LET IT OVERNIGHT SO THEY WOULD HEAR IT AFTER SETTING. THEY CLAIM NO NOISE UPON STARTING IT. I AM CONCERNED AT SOME POINT ENGINE PARTS ARE BEING DAMAGED. THE NOISE BEGAN WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. WENT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID "HONDA PROBABLY DOES KNOW ABOUT THIS BUT THERE IS NO REPAIR/RECALL ORDER ISSUED SO THEY WON'T REPAIR IT. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY AFTER IT SITTING FOR A WHILE, IT WILL MAKE A RATCHETING SOUND AFTER STARTING. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED FROM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR. WAS TOLD THEY ARE WORKING ON IT AND WOULD HAVE A FIX IN FEBRUARY. LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND SAW THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S SINCE 2008 ALONG WITH NUMEROUS VIDEOS OF THE SAME SOUND.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS AND THEN MY FOOT WHEN BACK ON THE GAS, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN BACK ON TO RECOVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND HAVE COME CLOSE TO TWO ACCIDENTS FROM ONCOMING CARS. THE ANSWER I GET FROM MY DEALER IS THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND SUGGESTED TURNING THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. I DID THIS BUT STILL HAVE EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MUST BE CORRECTED IN A RECALL. I ALSO, LIKE A NUMBER OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS, EXPERIENCE THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMING ON. DEALER SAYS NO FIX FOR THIS.

ENGINE HAS A COLD START RATTLE, HONDA SAYS IT IS THE VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA HAS CHANGED IT ONCE AND IT STILL MAKES THE NOISE. HONDA SAYS THAT ARE WORKING ON A FIX, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE WORKING ON IT SINCE 2012.

TPMS TPMS SYSTEM WOULD COME ON WHEN I DROVE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. BUT ONLY WHEN I DROVE FOR OVER AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE THERE WOULD BE NOTHING WRONG. FINALLY I ASKED A MECHANIC AND HE RECALIBRATED/REBOOTED THE SYSTEM AND IT HAS NOT COME ON SINCE. ENGINE GRINDING WHEN I START THE CAR UP AFTER IT BEING IN THE COLD OVERNIGHT THERE IS AN INITIAL GRINDING SOUND.

TOOK VEHICLE TO GET B1 SERVICE AT HONDA DEALER. WAS NOTIFIED THAT OIL SEEPAGE WAS VISIBLE IN THE ENGINE AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, SERVICE NOTES STATE WILL INSPECT AT NEXT SERVICE. THE CAR HAS 19,245 MILES.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOW SPEED STALL. I'VE REPORTED TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CLAIM ITS A GEARING PROBLEM. WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP OR MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T ENGAGE IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN THAT YOU MAY BE IN HARMS WAY WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT OF THE SITUATION. I DID TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AFTER I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO RECALLS OR FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ.....UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS APPLIED, IT TOOK AT LEAST 10 SECONDS FOR A RESPONSE. HONDA STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN ECONOMY MODE. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER STATED IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ECONOMY MODE....

HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AFTER VEHICLE PURCHASE, TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN. I RESET IT PER THE OWNERS MANUAL AND WOULD HAPPEN A FEW MORE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN FINE UNTIL THE MOST RECENT BASIC SERVICE AT HONDA OF SERRAMONTE. LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I RESET IT, SO FAR IT'S BEEN FINE. HAPPENED EARLY THIS YEAR, A GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD ALMOST EVERY MORNING WHILE STARTING THE CAR. DOES NOT HAPPEN LATER ON IN THE DAY. TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA OF SERRAMONTE AND LEFT VEHICLE THERE SO THEY COULD TEST IT IN THE MORNING. NEXT DAY IN THE AFTERNOON I WENT TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE, SERVICE REP WAI WONG WHO ASSISTED ME SAID TECHNICIAN DID NOT HEAR THE SOUND. SHE TOLD ME THERE ARE A FEW CASES OF THIS PROBLEM SO FAR. I ASKED HER FOR A SERVICE REPORT FOR MY...

MY NEW 2014 HONDA CR-V IS GARAGED IN NW OHIO. ON COLD DECEMBER MORNINGS WHERE GARAGE IS COOLER THAN 40 DEGREES, A GRINDING SOUND IS HEARD AT START UP. IT LASTS 1-2 SECONDS. NOT EVERY TIME BUT AT MOST STARTS. THIS HAPPENED UNTIL APRIL.

THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE/SOUND AT COLD START. VEHICLE IS GARAGED BUT DURING THE COLDER WEATHER MONTHS, THE STARTER HAS A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND. THIS OCCURRED WITH ONLY ABOUT 1200 MILES PUT ON THE CAR. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MID-DECEMBER, 2013 (2014 MODEL) AND THE GRINDING SOUND FIRST OCCURRED IN LATE FEBRUARY, 2014. WAITED A FEW MORE MONTHS AND THEN CONTACTED LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BRING IN THE CAR TO HAVE THEM DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS DONE ON JANUARY 9TH, 2015. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF SOME OTHER 2014 CRV'S HAVING SAME/SIMILAR PROBLEM AS MINE. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS A VTC-ACTUATOR AND THAT HONDA HAD BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR SOME TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA HAS TO RE-ENGINEER THE PART AND THAT IT HOPEFULLY BE READY BY THE SUMMER OF 2015. STILL NO WORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON THE STATUS OF THE...

I WILL ALWAYS READ THIS SIGHT BEFORE BUYING ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE HAD CRV 2014 18 MONTHS AND BEGAN PROBLEMS AFTER 2 WEEKS. TPMS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON EVERY FEW WEEKS. LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BAD AND HIGH BEAMS ARE RIDICULOUSLY TOO FAR AHEAD AND CAN'T SEE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. THE HEAD REST LEANS SO FAR FORWARD ITS UNCOMFORTABLE AND AWKWARD. MY ENGINE MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND WHEN STARTING THE CAR. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE I HAVEN'T HAD ACCELERATION UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES OR NO THROTTLE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WILL BE CAUTIOUS OF THOSE PROBLEMS NOW SINCE I'VE HAD SO MANY OF THE OTHERS LISTED HERE.

WHEN DOING THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAK AROUND TIMING CHAIN COVER.

WHEN YOU COLD START THE CAR IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE NOISE. I TAKE IT HOME AND IT DOES IT AGAIN THE NEXT DAY EACH TIME. I RECORDED THE NOISE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY ORIGINALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY CLAIMED HONDA AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WERE WORKING ON IT. AFTER WAITING 6 WEEKS FOR RESOLUTION, I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. I REQUESTED THE NUMBER TO HONDA AMERICA AND CALLED. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA AMERICA THAT THEY DIDN'T DEEM THIS PROBLEM A DEFECT AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE. IF YOU LOOK ON THE DIFFERENT BLOGS AND SITES ONLINE...THEY DO...

I GET A HARSH GRINDING 'METAL-ON-METAL' SOUND FROM THE CAM/TIMING CHAIN, TOP OF THE ENGINE WHEN TEMPS BELOW 40 DEGREES. VISITED WITH THE DEALER I PURCHASED AT, DIDN'T EVEN START A WORK TICKET WHEN I TOLD HIM WHAT IT WAS DOING. STATED IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM ,THEY ALL HAVE IT, REPLACING THE PART WON'T FIX IT, JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. WENT TO 2ND DEALER, SAID SAME THING BUT STARTED A WORK TICKET. GAVE ME A COPY OF A HONDA "TECH LINE SUMMARY ARTICLE" ENGINE RATTLES AFTER COLD SOAK STARTUP. AFFECTED VEHICLES, 2008-12 ACCORD, 2012-15 CROSSTOUR, 2012-14 CR-V, WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A SOLUTION BUT HAVE NO RECOMMENDED DEALER REPAIR AT THIS TIME. CONTACTED HONDA MOTOR CO. TO FILE A COMPLAINT, WE WOULD LIKE TO FIX YOUR CAR, HOW? YOU DON'T HAVE A FIX, PROBLEM SINCE 2008. ASKED FOR MY PURCHASE PRICE TO BE REIMBURSED MINUS USAGE....

MORE THAN 5 TIMES WHEN STARTING THE CRV, FROM A COLD START AND 2 WARM STARTS, I GET A HARSH GRINDING 'METAL-ON-METAL' SOUND FROM THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE ENGINE. THIS IS HAPPENING ALSO WITH WARMS STARTS (2X THIS WEEK). CALLED HONDA DEALER , ROCHESTER NY WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 6 MONTHS AGO. SPOKE TO A SENIOR SERVICE ADVISOR AND TOLD ME OUT RIGHT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM/DEFECT (HIS WORDS) AND HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF IT AND THERE IS NO FIX KNOWN. I ASKED FOR A DATE TO BRING MY 2014 CR-V IN AND WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NO REASON TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND TO WAIT FOR THE COLD WEATHER TO GO AWAY. HE ALLOWED ME TO QUOTE HIM THAT "THERE IS NO PROBLEM, IT'S THE VTEC ACTUATOR, NOTHING TO FIX PER HONDA USA AND ASSURED ME THAT NO, NONE DAMAGE IS ACCRUING WHEN I...

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. AFTER STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE,THEN CAR JUMPS FORWARD. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SEVERAL TIMES. AM GOING TO MY DEALER TOMORROW. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET,SO ITS NOT MY IMAGINATION. *TR

EVERY MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES UNDER 20 DEG F, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE UPON START UP, NOISE VARIES IN DURATION BETWEEN 1-2 SECONDS.

EVERY DAY WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE AND THE TEMPERATURES ARE 20 BELOW OR SO, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR UP. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE. DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE IT IS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT ONLY LAST ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO.

ON 3 OR 4 OCCASIONS, WHEN IT IS COLD, THAT WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED, THE ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IT ONLY LASTS FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND WHEN I RESTART THE CAR, IT DOESN'T REOCCUR. IT ALSO DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME THAT IT IS COLD. I WAS GOING TO MENTION IT THE NEXT TIME WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I'VE READ THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND I SHARE THEIR CONCERN THAT THIS COULD BE DAMAGING THE ENGINE SO I WANTED TO ADD MY REPORT. *JS

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON COLD DAYS, SOMETIMES A GRINDING SOUND OCCURS WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE THAT LASTS ABOUT A SECOND. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY COLD MORNING, BUT IT HAPPENS FAIRLY REGULARLY ON COLD MORNINGS. I SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA HAS NOT DEVELOPED A SOLUTION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE IS OCCURRING TO THE ENGINE. *TR

I LIVE IN MINNESOTA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE GETS EXTREMELY COLD. I NOTICED MY ENGINE WAS MAKING A LOUD AUDIBLE GRINDING NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS DURING COLD WEATHER START UPS. I SEE MORE THAN ONE WRITE UP ON THIS CONCERNING THIS EXACT NOISE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE NOISE IS: "NORMAL BUT NOT NORMAL". HE SAID HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR WHEN IT GETS COLD. HE SHOWED ME AN EMAIL FROM HONDA THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS TO QUIT REPLACING VTC ACTUATORS BECAUSE IT IS NOT HELPING FIX THE PROBLEM. IT'S AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR SO REPLACING IT WITH AN IDENTICAL UNIT WILL NOT HELP.. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT IT IS NOT HURTING MY CAR IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. AFTER...

DURING COLD WINTER MONTHS THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE, EVEN IN GARAGE. TAKING TO HONDA DEALER THIS WEEK. LOOKING AT ALL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE, I AM NOT EXPECTING MUCH TO BE DONE. SEEMS HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON CRVS BUT CAN'T DIAGNOSE???????!!!! *TR

DURING COLD WINTER MONTHS IN MICHIGAN, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA WHO TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS A "NORMAL PROBLEM" WITH CR-VS APPARENTLY DUE TO THE OIL PUMP NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AMERICAN HONDA WAS CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT INDICATED ANY SOLUTION. *TR

THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND (INTERMITTENTLY) TO THE THROTTLE. THIS MAKES FOR A VERY DICEY SITUATION WHEN TURNING ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP, E.G., A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM, YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND JUST AS QUICKLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL TO GET THE ENGINE TO RESPOND. DURING THESE EPISODES THE ENGINE IS JUST IDLING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS. THE ANSWER WAS THE TYPICAL ONE THAT YOU RECEIVE FROM A DEALERSHIP: 'WE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". FROM POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS WITH HONDA VEHICLES. IN FACT A DEALERSHIP SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT HIS BROTHER HAS A HONDA WHICH HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ALMOST FROM THE DAY HE PURCHASED IT. I'M NOT JUST IMAGINING THIS. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY...

ON COLD DAYS I HEAR GRINDING NOISE WHEN I START MY CAR, FEW SECOND NOISE THEN ITS FINE. I NOTICED IT STARTED IN DECEMBER WHEN THE COLD WEATHER HITS TEXAS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN DAILY ONLY ON COLD DAYS AS CAR SITS IN DRIVEWAY. SOME DAYS IT WILL BE COLD AND IT WILL BE FINE AND OTHER DAYS ANOTHER COLD DAY AND IT WILL HAPPEN FOR A FEW SECONDS. MY CAR HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 8000 MILES. I FIND THIS TOO SOON TO HAVE ANY ISSUES. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP JANUARY 16 WHERE CAR SAT OVER NIGHT TO DUPLICATE THE SOUND AND THE CAR DID NOT MAKE THAT NOISE. THE WEATHER WAS IN THE 40'S AND NOISE COULD NOT BE HEARD. MY CAR WAS STILL AT DEALERSHIP ON JANUARY 19 AND AGAIN NO SOUND WAS HEARD FROM CERTIFIED HONDA TECH. I OPENED UP HONDA CARE TICKET FOR A...

SEPTEMBER 2014, 2014 HONDA CRV WITH ~6K MILES STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE UPON FIRST TURNING IGNITION SWITCH OVER. IT CONTINUED RANDOMLY UPON STARTING FOR ONLY 1-2 SECONDS & STOPS. AS THE WEATHER GOT COLDER, IT HAPPENED MORE OFTEN. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10/15/14 & MADE THEM KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. PROBLEM WAS DUPLICATED & DETERMINED TO BE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR; CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY & FIXED. DECEMBER 2014 W/ ~13K MILES SAME ISSUE RESURFACED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP 01/14/15, HAD THEM PULL UP 10/15/14 REPAIR WORK TO REFERENCE STATED SAME ISSUE IS GOING ON. I WAS TOLD, "... YOU WILL NEED TO SPEAK W/ OUR SERVICE MANAGER XXXX AS THE MFG'R IS AWARE THIS IS A PROBLEM W/ THOUSANDS OF CARS LIKE YOURS & THEY ARE CHOOSING TO NOT DO ANY FURTHER REPAIR WORK FOR THIS PROBLEM BC IT WILL CONTINUE TO...

WHEN STARTING FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON VERY COLD DAYS, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE FOR A SECOND OR TWO. HAPPENS ALSO IF IT IS SITTING OUTSIDE FOR SEVERAL HOURS IN COLD WEATHER. I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND AM TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHETHER IT CAN BE FIXED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 6,500 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS. THIS IS HAPPENING ON MY SECOND CR-V AS WELL WHICH HAS ABOUT 9,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

1. 2014 POWER TRAIN -REAR PASSENGER WHEEL JUMPING/SKIPPING ON ACCELERATION. DEALER BROUGHT A LOANER,TOOK CAR AND REPLACED REAR DIFFERENTIAL..SEEMS OK SINCE....HAD 2013 CRV W/FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AXLE JUMPING ..TRADED BACK AFTER 9 MONTHS 2. 2014 ENGINE- GRINDING SOUND ON START UP. RECORDED SOUND ON VIDEO AND MECHANIC IDENTIFIED AS VTC ACTUATOR BUT SAID HONDA HAS NO FIX. SAID NO HARM WILL OCCUR W/REPETITION...HAD 2013 CRV W/SAME PROBLEM IN ADDITION TO FRONT AXLE ISSUES..AS NOTED ABOVE TRADED BACK AFTER 9 MONTHS. *TR

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

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.

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

I BOUGHT AT 2014 CRV END OF SEPT/OCT OF 2013. UPON THE FIRST SNOW FALL I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS. THE CAR WAS NOT GETTING ANY TRACTION, IT WAS SLIDING AROUND GOING DOWN HILLS AND UPON TRYING TO DRIVE UP HILLS IT WOULD STOP WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO GO UP. IT WOULD STOP AND WHEELS WOULD SPIN, THE REAR END SPUN TO THE SIDE AND I COULD NOT GET ANYWHERE. THE AMBER AWD LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED, COMBINATION OF BOTH SCENARIOS. I FINALLY GOT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN DEEMED DEFECTIVE (OVERHEATING ISSUE TO POINT OF ALMOST GLOWING AND FLUID OVERHEATED). THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS THAT IF THE CAR WAS PUT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR TO AID SLOWING DOWN ON A HILL, EVEN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CAR...
