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.
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
Grinding noise upon car starting. upon starting the car there is a grinding noise that last approximately 1-1.5 seconds. i first noticed this sound about a month after purchasing the car. i called the dealer and they told me that it was normal and that they hear this complaint often. they said that honda was aware, but that they have not placed a recall on it. i accepted that they were giving me accurate information and figured i would get a recall on it eventually. recently, the car continues to make the grinding noise, but also acts as if it doesn't want to start on cold mornings. makes this grinding noise approximately 75% of all starts of the car since purchasing it. i have had the battery, alternator, and starter checked. was told that they do not show any problems.
When on a curvy road the car sometimes makes loud noises thumping noises and the pansanger floor vibrates violently like the car is going to fall a part. car is only 13 months old and i bought it brand new. it has 45k miles now but problem started at 30k miles. the dealer could not replicate the problem and denied that their was a problem.
Bought this new honda cr-v with 3,000 some odd miles already on it, so practically new. the tire pressure light continually comes on and every time we take it in to the dealership where we purchases it.to check it out the attendant can't find a puncture and can't figure out why the pressure is leaving.so they just reset it. until recently when i took it into firestone and they really examined the car only to have me walk over and see that there are ripples (some pretty large ripples) in varies places of the tire. he also push with his fingers the tires inward to show how easily these tires made the ripples. i was completely shock. he said these tires could pop at any time. i can't believe i just purchased a car that needs a complete set of new tires. funny thing is one of the tires actually did get flat maybe 5 months and i replaced that tire with another continental tire (because i was told if you get new tires you need to get at least 2 of the same) not wanting to buy 2 new tires i opted just to get 1 of the same brand. the attendant from firestone couldn't even tell which tire (5 months old) was new. ridiculous and seriously unsafe are these tires.
Tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) warning sensor/light is on when tire pressure is normal. tpms sensor is defective.
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
The car was parked while we were eating breakfast at jack in a box pineville matthews. the passenger glass window at the back of driver seat just shattered into fine pieces. the shattered glass was falling naturally inside the car and on the ground. i have photos of the partial glass window, debris inside the car and on the ground. the glass window seemed factory defect. the restaurant cleaned the fine chopped glasses on the ground.
During cold weather, when starting the car in the morning, it makes a weird noise, not sure if it is the transmission. any time i speed up the car from 20 pmph to 35 mph, the transmission makes a noise similar to ambulance noise. i took it to the dealer because it is under warranty yet and they said it is normal, i don't agree with this, please investigate.
The cars a/c condenser was hit by a pebble on the road and it damaged one of the veins. needs to replace with a new one.
When changing from park to drive as soon as the vehicle rolls forward a few feet it clunks then lurches as if the transmission finally kicked in.
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.
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 hear the grinding engine start noise." he suggested that i turn the key to the 'on' position for 20 seconds, turn off the key, and restart the car and i should have no issues. i tried that 2x today 2/28/2015 and still got the same harsh grinding noise. the fact the dealer won't even let me make an appointment to check this car, and with much research by myself, there is 100's of these same reports via google, youtube videos with exact sounds. i demand this car to be fixed, it is not starting correctly, and i am getting zero assistance from the honda dealer here in rochester, ny. by the information given to me, this is a known, on-going defect in many honda engines, and when i ask more than 50+ pre-sale questions, at no time was i given this information upfront. the dealer and honda are simply hiding a known problem and are using horrid customer service tactics to gt around it. *tr
Purchased new 2014 honda cr-v on 12/19/14. during the purchase the sales person was specifically asked about the tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) problem, which per the nhtsa complaint process has existed in the honda 2014 cr-v models since september 2013. the sales person was not aware of any problems. asked the sales person to verify the manufacture date of the vehicle to be purchased and was told it was september 2014. the next day (12/20/14) while driving the vehicle the tpms light came on. the vehicle had been driven some 25 miles (the odometer read 115 miles when purchased). tire pressure was checked and found to be 30 psi per specifications. reset the tmps following owner manual instructions. called the dealership and scheduled an appointment for 12/22/14. a software patch (version oha240 december 2014) was installed. honda continues to manufacture and sell a vehicle with a known potential safety defect. past "fixes" do not seem address the problem. when will someone address this issue and solve it?
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.
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 ##
Spouse had driven the car no more than 10 minutes and flames shoot out over the hood, immediately stops and exits the new cr-v in the middle of the road. two men arrive immediately with fire extinguishers and put out the fire before the car became engulfed in flames. damage on the undercarriage and smoke damage in the cabin area. *tr
The following problem happens randomly but frequently: at a stop light or stop sign, attempt to proceed and step on accelerator and there is a complete and total lack of acceleration. the vehicle moves forward at an idle pace. this situation may last for 20 seconds or so and then all of a sudden the problem disappears and the vehicle will accelerate normally. it is very dangerous each time this happens as the vehicle is limited to moving at a crawl pace when it happens. if merging into traffic, or making a turn after stopping at a stop sign, you are just out there moving at a crawl and could easily be hit by other cars. looking on carcomplaints.com i find 4 other new honda crv owners experiencing the same problem. my dealer thinks they finally figured out the problem. the brake light switch was not installed correctly. i have now gone 300 miles without experiencing the lack of acceleration. but on the carcomplaint.com site, other people are just being told "dealer can not reproduce" and they are sending customers back out in a car with a potential deadly situation. someone will be maimed or killed. this random and sudden lack of acceleration problem needs to be investigated. all carcomplaint.com people reporting the same problem bought or leased their cars in may 2014 or later. this problem needs to be fixed when cars are in production. just one experience by the unlucky owner of one the honda crv's with this problem could cause a terrible accident. look at the carcomplaint.com site and search honda crv acceleration. customers all report same problem. customers state "afraid to drive the car". please look into this dangerous situation. *tr
The air tire pressure light kept coming on for the first few months. i canceled out per instructions of dealer after i went to them the first three times - they checked pressure and found it to be as it should be. also, low beams on head lights are not very bright. hi beams are ok. while driving in the country in the dark, the low beams seem to only show area directly in front of the vehicle. to use high beams would be distracting and dangerous for oncoming traffic. previously had odyssey that got 22 mpg in town. it had a 6 cylinder engine. i thought that the 4 cylinder cr-v would do better than that, but does not do better in town. most of my driving is in town driving. cost of doing regular maintenance on the vehicle is high at my honda dealership. vehicle inspections as part of regular maintenance are very high. i have less than 15,000 miles on the vehicle and $75 over and above the price for the oil change seemed pretty steep to me. the vehicle is just the right size for my needs and i like sitting higher in the cr-v as opposed in a sedan that sits lower.
The tire pressure monitoring system light comes on for no reason indicating tire pressure is incorrect. when i check the tire pressure it is correct. this has happened multiple times during 2014. *tr
