Torque converter on transmission needs to be replaced at 66,000 miles although systems have existed for almost 2 years, but just now diagnosed
Loud whine, driveshaft replaced
When driving the car feels like something is holding the movement of car, my friend is a mechanic and told me its the transmission.this happens while the care is in motion
I started my crv on 10/23/19 and started on my way to work. when i got about 200 yards i noticed that the check engine light, abs light, and the transmission fluid lights were. i called schlossmann honda city milwaukee, wi, asked for service department said i wanted to make an appointment. i explained what lights were on the dash and indicated they just came on this morning. they said that i could drop off the car that afternoon. dropped off car on 10/23/19 at 3:45pm. left jessica lange called me back at 5:00pm and told me the timing belt had to be changed because it was stretched. this happens. cost to have this done was $1988.34. i only have 50988 miles on my crv. the cost was outrageous. i am 58 and have owned many vehicles. i have never had to replace a timing chain with this few miles. i think this is ridiculous. especially because honda new about this problem in previous models and never fixed it. i do love my honda but i will never buy another one and will get rid of this one before i reach 100,000 miles. hopefully the replacement timing chain will last that long.
Transmission jerks between 25 to 30 mph. this happens with ever take off. it happen when starting from a stop or if i have slowed down below 25 mph and as i exhilarate the transition jerks between 25 to 30 mph.
Vehicle shakes and stutters when accelerating between 0-30 mph, which is apparently a known and common issue.
When car is idle overnight or long periods, starting the car, there is a loud noise when turning the key in the ignition. took to mechanic and was told honda is notorious for this problem. was told it's the vtc actuator.
Engine rattles at early morning start up , honda aware of vtc actuator default and needs to open a recall cases to all crv made between 2012-2014. i have had to replace the cam shafts, and drive belt. i have had to replace the control arms and tires. all mt dash lights have come on while i was driving. the car shakes and is scary to drive. this car has safety issues with the control arms in the suspension and acceleration issues that have been reported by consumers. when does someone decide that this is a safety issue. when a car has tire, acceleration, or issues with transmission this is a safety issue. honda should do something to show they care about the consumer safety. there are many issues with the honda cr-v please address the serious ones.
Driver on highway when check engine, malfunction indicator and eps lights came on. the car lost power and driver pulled off to side. checked car, restarted car but would not go over 20mph. car towed and mechanic reported #4 spark plug oil fouled, but no psi in #4 cylinder. towed to dealer but problem not fixed and engine not running. dealer did not offer any help.
The honda cr-v 2013 we purchased on 7/3/18 has been experiencing a vibration while in motion between aprox 10 mph -30 mph. it took place on city, town and county roads we have not driven on highway yet. it vibrates similar to driving over rumble strips in the highway to inform you of lane edges.it seems to stop if you let the foot of accelerator pedal. it is somewhat unnerving and can be a little scary to our young driver.
This car developed a major vibration while accelerating at low speeds (around 20-30 mph) around 65,000miles. the steering wheel shakes and passengers can feel the car "shudder". i was told it needed a software update and transmission fluid changed. this was done and now at 100,000 miles the vibration is back and honda is refusing to repair it. states the extended the warranty to 80,000 miles for this known problem but since its over 100,000 it would be out of pocket.
When speeds of 65+ mph are reached the 2013 honda cr-v steering wheel vibrates and shakes violently while traveling at high speeds on the highway. this makes the ride very scary and seem uncontrollable at times. as i have read on many forums, this is a very common occurrence with these vehicles. the dealership service department has not had an answer to why this is happening and told me "that this is a common thing with cr-v's". honda even put out a video basically stating that they fixed this problem with their new line of cr v's in 2017. i believe it's an unbalanced drive shaft, due to fact that the tires have been balanced 3 times, 2 alignments in a 3 month period and a friend of mine had the same issue and that's what fixed his along with other people on honda forums stating the same issues a stated above and repair methods. i hope someone can get to the bottom of these very common issues.
Upon light acceleration on a city street my car vibrates quite strongly and feels as though the car is going to stall. this issue seems to only happen at low speeds (10-35mph). i have contacted the local honda dealer with my vin# and they deny any issue with the vehicle. after further investigation i have found numerous reports online about this very same issue and how honda is unwilling to address or fix the issue. i hope honda issue a recall soon because this amount of vibration makes me feel as if there is a lot of mechanical wear happening with every acceleration and that the car could fail at any moment.
Awd light went on for two days. light then stayed off. took it to honda, they want to replace solenoid assembly.
When the car is cold at 30 mph the car vibrates. dealer reset software on transmission. did not fix problem. now they are going to replace rear driveshaft.
Excessive oil consumption. no oil leak and not burning oil. mechanic noted excessive oil use when he saw it was 2 quarts low on oil within 3 months use after a oil change. mechanic found no cause for this so it must be inside the engine or drive train. car is used for local flat driving. no towing, racing, mountains, etc.
Takata recall the passenger" air bag is off" icon is on all the time in the upper right hand corner of the dash. only have 25,000 miles on the car and there isn't anyone sitting in the passenger seat. does not go off if someone is sitting in the passenger seat. is this a problem related to the massive airbag recall? also, the starter engagement makes a grinding noise .
Vibration during slow excelleration
Especially when cold under light acceleration, the vehicle will shudder. i think it is when it shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. took it to the dealer for normal service and asked them to check this issue. went to pick it up and was told they confirmed the issue. they told me the issue was reported in later models and a possible fix was to change the transmission and rear differential fluid and update the software. it would not be covered by the honda 5 year/60k mile powertrain warranty or the extended warranty purchased when we bought the car new. i was charged $88.00 just for them to confirm the issue and also honda was aware of the issue. since they said it would only possibly fix the car at a cost to me of around $300.00 and there were no fault codes, i opted to forego the procedure. after i got home i found numerous reports of this problem on user forums. i also found a link to print the honda service bulletin sb 15-086, dated august 18, 2016. that was stated for crv model years 2012-14. hopefully the problem will not result in a catastrophic failure, causing injury or damage. honda evidently does not believe it could or there would be a recall.
Shudder at idle 2013 crv. starting 80k miles sounds like same complaint of recalled 2015 crv . are motor mounts supposed to fail in all of this model?
Tsb a15-086 describes transmission issue of vehicle when shifting between 2 and 3 gears under light acceleration. took it to dealership in 2/17 dealer replaced fluids worked smooth for a week and started again. dealer claims they did multi point inspection before and after fluid change. but only discovered torque converter issue today. wants 1500.00 to replace torque converter software update and fluid replacement was temporary fin lasted a weeking showed tsb says not part of issue is posted all over multiple honda forums.
The vehicle vibrates/juddrs during 25-35 mph when lightly accelerating from a stop. this has been happening for a long time, but i was made to notice this by a friend recently.
When the vehicle is in motion and shifts from first to second gear anywhere between 20-25mph there is a vibration that appear to come from the transmission. i have visited the dealer several time trying to resolve this matter. the first time they told me fluid was needed, the second the transmission fluid, need to be changed. the 3rd time they needed a code to identify the problem, the forth time they upgrades the computer system. all these changes have improved the problem for a couple of weeks only. i reported this problem to company in california. the problem still present.
There is a tsb out that says the fluids need to be changed and a software update applied. the original symptom is the vehicle shudder at start of acceleration and during shifts between 2nd and 3rd. paid for service still have problem honda dealer in hollywood florida 2 days after service still same problem. went back to dealer tells us its torque converter but not covered. question is why didn't they test v drive vehicle after service work. been to several dealerships to test drive used crv between model treat 2012 to 2014 all have same issues. car travels 80 percent city streets along same route past this honda dealership 2 times daily. checked several honda forums and various years all posting issues does not matter if lx ex exl or 2wd or and models everyone posts sane issues. havre even retired driving pinky eco mode or normal mode same issue so software update and fluid change resolved no issues.
2013 honda cr-v. consumer writes in regards to vehicle hesitates when gear shifts into drive, responds normally after several seconds, dealership unable to duplicate issue. *smd
Judder, akin to driving on the rumble strips alongside a highway. happens when slowly accelerating between 20-30 mph. purchased the vehicle in 10/2016.
Honda 2013 crv will vibrate @ 25-35 mile speed feel like when its shifting to 3rd its having problem to switch gears from 2nd to 3rd , once its above or close to 40 mile speed , its ok, runs good. (all oils and spark plugs are clean, also all filters).started noticing this problem on 10 08 16 and its been gradually more noticeable , everyday little by little.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the vehicle would shake and rattle while at a stop light and in the drive/reverse position. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was not determined and it was informed that the vehicle was functioning as designed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 27,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda cr-v. while driving approximately 30 mph, the gear shifted from drive to neutral without warning. the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road, turned off and restarted. the contact drove home and later took the vehicle to a local dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to another local dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. the failure recurred several times, but was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 35,787.
A loud grinding noise lasting a few seconds after initial start up after car has been sitting, i.e., a 'cold start.' my honda 2013 crv-ex-l has had this problem from day one, brand new! it's intermittent but happens usually on a cold start. after quite a few visits to dealer they act perplexed and never can duplicate the condition! it actually is the vtc (variable timing control). honda has had this problem for several years on various models of their vehicles, has never fixed the problem nor contacted affected buyers but has continued to build and sell these vehicles with a known defect with no fix! their engineers are aware of the problem, but of course the same engineers say it causes "no damage to the vehicle!" shame on honda, it only ruined their reputation! people stare at you and ask "what is that noise?" when you explain, it puts honda and their vehicles in a poor position i.e., loss of reputation and sales. i did intensive investigation on my own, just 'google the problem, and you will be taken to 'you tube' and many other sites showing the problem. take to the dealer a video and a copy of the numerous complaints on this and other sites! you must prove the problem exists!! i called honda america 2 days ago to complain and found out honda just this year, 2016, finally came out with a 'fix!' it is for the vtc (variable timing control) . my car finally is at the dealer being repaired. honda knew all along of this problem at least from 2012 through 2014 and even earlier models! a recall should be mandated to make the repair!! again shame on honda, i personally will never buy a honda automobile again. the frustration, embarrassment, time running back and forth to the dealer, etc. has worn me out!! remember their is now a bulletin to honda dealers with a 'fix.' but they must duplicate the problem! be sure to take a video with sound!!
When i shift from parking to reverse i hear a loud clunking sound.
I own a honda cr-v 2013 awd with 60,000 miles. i'm the second owner. i purchased the car from carmax in 2016 with 27,000 miles. after several months of owning the vehicle one morning i hear this loud grinding noise lasting a few seconds after initial start up of vehicle when stationary. this sound has continued on and off at all different times of the day.
When going from 0-30 mph the care will shudder / judder. only happens at low speed like the transmission is try to catch. this started very early when i bought the car new. honda has two service bulletin's (15-086 and 17-040) that recognize this issue for 2013 cr-v's but won't recognize the issue for my vin #. comments from many honda drivers is this is common across all honda automobiles with the cvt for years dating very far back. honda should back up there product.
Vibration during acceleration at or above 1500rpm
My mechanic from four stars auto care, long island, n.y. had mentioned that there was a problem with my cr-v 2013 timing camshaft which is causing the grinding sound when i start the car (the mechanic says that the oil has drained from the camshaft and is not lubricated ' which caused the grinding sound). usually, this happens if the engine has not been started for more than 3 or 4 hours. i believe this is the vtc actuator in the car that is making a grinding sound. i just spoke to a lady 'nicole' from honda city, 3859 hempstead turnpike, levittown, ny 11756 who acknowledged that there is a defect in the vtc actuator in the 2013 cr-vs but does not have an answer when honda will have the vtc replacement. she said, 'honda is working on a new vtc, but does not know when they will have them available.' she also said that, they stopped replacing the current vtc model and there is a defect.' all i want to know if they will still replace this when my car goes out of warranty in a few thousand miles? i also want to know if there is a long term effect of the grinding noise to the camshaft or the engine and also the passerby's who looked at my cr-v after i start my car. i am going to contact honda directly' i am not satisfied with the answers and the service. i will definitely not purchase another honda if there is satisfaction to this solution.
Previously reported known honda problem with vtc actuator at cold start up. notified dealer and american honda. appears honda is dragging their feet regarding a resolution. as this can affect the long term reliability of the power train this needs to be addressed.
Cr-v stalls when for 3-5 seconds when completing corners. appears transmission is searching for gears. dangerous when trying to merge on to traffic. honda dealer and regional rep aare aware of problem, but refuse to fix.vehicle is still under warranty. *js
Awful grinding noise at a cold start no matter what the weather is. car is in mid atlantic region. each start comes with a grinding noise. mechanic can't find anything wrong. none of my other cars not make such a horrendous noise at start up. this sound was noticed not long after the car was purchased late 2014.
From a stop. i speed up to about 30 mph and feel a drag and shimmy at that speed, then it goes away. the problem only occurs at 30 mph, i have watched you-tube for possible troubles.
Bran new honda crv purchase maybe 13miles21k miles later and after a scheduled oil change,the vehicle was idling rougher than normal(i know the difference in the vehicle, from bran new till 21k miles) then we started loosing power on the takeoff.1 day later after reaching 25mph the vehicle felt as though we lost all power and the check engine light came on and went off as quick.called the dealership and told them exactly what happened and all they said(is the light still on, we need a light to pull a code to diagnose it)took it in the next business day for a lookthey could not find anything due to no light and no malfunction at that time.days later the wife taking the daughter to school proceeded to merge onto interstate driving about 55mph.not even a mile onto the interstate the vehicle slowed down like loss of power and shut off, in the middle of 2lane 70mpha diesels swerved just in time to miss smashing the crv from behindwife was so scared and my daughter was shakingthe wife let it roll off the interstate onto the shoulder as much as the vehicle would allow possible.towed the vehicle into dealership with light onthey pulled a code that told them (3rd cylinder misfire) the dealership changed the sparkplug for the 3rd cylinder and we picked it upa few weeks later the vehicle did the same exact thing to at only feet further than last time traffic nearly piling up and colliding with one another to miss the crv. wife and daughter scared out of their minds and shaking up bad.towed it into dealership and they pulled the exact code the dealership changed the 3rd coil and flashed the computer and called honda to ask if the results needed any further fix. the manager of the dealership told me honda said" it is within the running limits" and we picked up the crvtill this day the new21k mile honda crv continues to shutter,lose ac fan power and dive power with no code to date. *tr
We traded in a 2005 honda crv for a 2013 honda crv. the 2005 was diagnosed with a transmission problem at 70,000 miles. the 2013 started with the same symptoms as the 2005 after owning it for 1 1/2 years. the car would shake and vibrate between 1st and 2nd gear. i described the problem the same ways i described the problem in the 2005 crv. we took it to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. they told us it would have to get worse. last month it got worse: it would happen several times per day. the shaking was so violent for up to 10 seconds that i didn't feel safe driving it. the car was at the dealership for three weeks and was finally diagnosed with a torque conversion defect. today i found out that honda motor company has known about the shaking problem going back to 2002. their customer service department said they have not issued any bulletins because it's not a safety issue. they also said that they had a you tube video about it. it appears now that the 2005 crv we traded in actually had a torque conversion problem, not a bad transmission. i paid and extra $18,000 for a car that i didn't need. at what point does honda motors inform the consumers and dealers about this issue? what can i do about this withholding of crucial information? thank you for your time. *tr
We were driving on i-81, had to slow down in left lane for traffic. accelerator failed when we tried to resume speed. "econ" mode on. not sure how much we had slowed before attempting to return to highway speed. it was 3 - 5 seconds or more before accelerator "unlocked." same response in similar situations occurred a total of 13 times. different speeds, slow city roads or interstates, going straight or in a turn, always unexpected, mostly within a month's time but sometimes after a much longer interval. weather always good. last event was on april 25, 2015 (last week) with mileage at 7,000. have not used econ mode since june 11, 2014. dealer has failed to find any malfunctioning parts or systems during the 4 separate times we brought in the car to be checked for this problem. we have talked to american honda, given them a detailed diary of each acceleration failure event, and they have given us a case number. we worry that our safety and that of others may compromised because of this loss of control when we need to move quickly, and we have already had drivers around us react in dangerous ways, not understanding why we hadn't picked up speed. *tr
Vehicle was parked in driveway after just returning home. vehicle was in park. as my wife unloaded items vehicle rolled backwards out of driveway striking a parked vehicle. i checked immediately after accident and vehicle was indeed in park. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle hesitated. the vehicle taken to the dealer where it was found that the computer needed to be reprogrammed. the vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was contacted about the failure. the failure mileage was not available. updated 5/27/14*cn the consumer stated there was a delay in acceleration. at times, there would be no response from the vehicle, as if, it cut off and then the vehicle would suddenly lurch forward. updated 08/19/14
I started to notice a croaking (sounds like a frog) noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when lightly accelerating from a stop in drive or reverse and right before i come to a complete stop. i have had this vehicle for a year, which i purchased new and this sound started after 11 months of ownership. i took my vehicle to the dealership where it was determined that the noise is coming from a noisy rear differential pump motor (part of the awd system) per a manufacturers tech line summary article. per the dealership and manufacturer, the manufacturer is aware of this problem and is currently working on a fix, but does not have one to date. manufacturer has instructed dealerships not to replace any rear differential pump motors at this time. *tr
Vtc actuator makes loud grinding noise upon startup. many reports online it is not clear what the long term effects will be.
We returned from shopping and parked car in driveway (approximately 30 degree incline). went behind to unload back and the car rolled back on us about 4-5 feet at least. we have since been able to duplicate this twice. the car is fully in park with the engine off when this happens. the only injury (thank god!) was my back which was just thrown out a little due to trying to get out from behind the car before it ran over me. my husband twisted his knee a little, but appears okay otherwise. because it is sunday, i cannot reach anyone to report to the dealer (bommarito honda), but have sent them a message demanding they tow the car and get me a loaner immediately. neither of us will get in this car again. i'm very concerned there may be others at serious risk right now! *tr
When starting the car in cold (50 degrees f or lower) or falling temperatures, with a cold engine (not run for at least 8 hours), i hear what sounds like a cranking sound from the engine compartment after the engine starts. the cranking sound lasts less than a second and sounds like severe vibration of a part with screws/components that have come loose. i've recorded the sound and have the file available. the sound does not occur with a warm engine. *tr
I purchased a 2013 crv in the beginning of 2013 with vin # [xxx]. with about 6,000 miles after the first oil change, the vehicle starts making a creaking noise when pushing and releasing the brake. i went to the dealer on 11/11/13. a technician was able to duplicate the problem. the second visit to the dealer is on 11/25/2013. a master technician was able to duplicate the problem and identify the noise does not come from the braking system but from the rear differential system. the dealer made a phone call to honda tech line and was told to hold on the fix and wait for honda to do more investigation. the dealer said honda will send me a letter in the near future. i waited for the response from both dealer and honda for more than a month and heard nothing. the dealer told me to contact honda directly. i called honda in end of december 2013, and heard back from them in 1/3/2014, a honda representative named [xxx] in 1-800-999-1009 [xxx] called me back and told me that honda is not going to fix the problem and replace any parts but will do more investigation. he mentioned that the investigation will last for 2 to 3 years. also honda is not considering the rear differential system is failed or defective, because the computer did not notify them such part is failed. [xxx] refused to give me more information and did not want to issue a statement or letter to me to describe the problem and what further investigation will honda do. [xxx] keeps saying that he is not an engineer to answer any technical related questions. the decision made by honda is no repairing or replacement to any part to fix this problem. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
I am concerned about the safety of a vehicle which can drive itself at 7 - 14 mph, faster in reverse than forward, without anyone touching the accelerator. i was parked in my 2 month old crv on my (level) driveway on a clear day. i put the car in reverse, took my foot off the brake, started to turn to look behind me, had to grab a bag in the passenger seat and had not yet touched the accelerator pedal when my car came up against another vehicle which was parked half way down the drive on the opposite side. at first i thought i had hit a dog or a child, something that moved toward me. i had no reason to think a car could travel that fast and on its own. it caused $886.00 in 'minor' damage in less than 3 seconds. this self-propelling feature was not mentioned in the manual (which i did read) nor by the dealership, who later told me the vehicle was functioning within specs and this movement was to be expected. after polling 20 people i understood there are cars which 'creep' once in gear, so i borrowed 3 different vehicles to test. first i tried my car. from a dead stop, i removed my foot from the brake and the car propelled itself at 7- 14 mph (900-1200 rpm) for 1/2 mile through my neighborhood. i repeated the trial after the car was warmed up. no change. then i tested a 2014 ford focus, a 2008 lincoln mkz, and a 2013 chevrolet equinox: same route and conditions, none moved faster than 2-4 mph. i later test drove a 2014 crv and it accelerates faster than my 2013. i have to keep my foot depressing the brake during slow traffic because the car moves before i fully release the peddle. this means the brakes are likely to wear out faster. i can't be sure how this effects the expected deceleration once the accelerator is released. i feel this idle speed is simply to fast to be deemed safe.
