2014 crv had 'rattle' noise during cold start about a year ago, took it to the honda dealer and they said there was nothing wrong. now at 59974 miles and 3 months passed 5 year warranty, the dash warning lights going off and timing chain has to be replaced. had to spent $2000 to fix it.
Driving at low speed (20-40mph) the car will flutter/shimmy. this is a known issue with honda america as they have two service bulletins regarding the issue. there are multiple online forums with cr-v owners having the same exact problem with low and high mileage. the dealership performed the first "fix" according to the honda service bulletin and it was ok for about 2 weeks and now it's back, worse than ever. the second fix according to honda is a torque converter replacement, which may or may not help the problem.
Oil usage is extremely high with no visible leaks, and engine is dry. i am at the point of my oil needing to be changed, and my oil was nearly empty. i have put in 3 qt's in the last 3 weeks. also, i live in nys, and on cooler days to freezing days, there is a loud grinding rattle that happens when i start my car. i had a 2010 that did the same thing.
My vehicle was stalled in the early morning of july 17, 2019 in a parking lot and towed to a honda dealership nearby. the mechanic's diagnosis was that the vehicle stall was caused by the shortage of all fuses in the primary fuse box due to leaking oil from the timing chain cover of the engine. the mechanic mentioned that the oil leak occurred for a while so it shorted out the fuses through the incased electrical wires. i think that it definitely is a safety issue because my life could be in a danger if the shortage occurred when i drove this vehicle on the highway. therefore, i wanted your agency to raise this safety issue related to honda crv to honda manufacturer and consumers who are currently driving a similar type of the vehicle. i am currently cooperating with a representative from honda customer service for an investigation of this serious safety issue. sincerely, (xxxx) p.s. attachment is the repairing statement from curry dealership. redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). the consumer stated the manufacturer was notified, but declined assistance due to an expired warranty. *js
The car vibrated during acceleration at 25 and 32mph. the honda of san marcos,tx dealer updated the software and that fixed the problem. since many 2014 honda crvs have this problem, this should be a recall. honda should reimburse me the $365.15 that they charged me to fix the transmission vibration.
I noticed that the vehicle would skate between 25-30 mph when accelerating. i took it to the closest honda dealership to have it looked at, hoping it was covered under my warranty. i was told that i had to pay $140 for them to just check my vehicle. then they called me to tell me that it was caused by a software issue and honda had created an update, which i would have to pay to receive. that they would also have to flush my transmission fluid as part of this, and that the cost would be $499 with labor and taxes. i then also went ahead and had my oil changed and my brake fluid since it was recommended. total bill was $703. i then came home and started looking up and it appears that many other people have/had the same issue. most weren't charged by their dealer for the update and fluid change, which seems to correct the issue. but i was. and i have the silver warranty under fidelity. and it affected my power train, but they co wider it a software issue, not mechanical, so they would not cover it. honda should not charge for this issue, which was clearly affecting enough people to cause them to have an update available. but why charge for it? it's a malfunction in their software which affected the vehicles performance, and they should have done a recall and provided this for free.
Vibration during slow acceleration at speed 20-45 rpm. back off acceleration then it will go a way. symptom start to show up 65,000 miles
Car shakes, jerks, and "judders" between 20 and 40mph under light acceleration. this was diagnosed by a honda dealership as being the issue addressed in honda technical service bulletin 15-086, but they will only fix it at their cost if you are still under warranty. fixing, according to honda requires replacing the torque converter, updating the pcm, and replacing the transmission fluid. that's a pretty expensive bill for it being their software issue in the first place. car also make a loud grinding noise on cold starts. was informed this was an issue with the vtc actuator, but there was no fix for it.
In august 2018 i brought vehicle to privately owned shop that i trust to research a noise coming from the engine bay when starting the vehicle. mechanic found through inspection/research that timing chain likely needed to be replaced ($1000 job) on 2014 cr-v's. at that time my vehicle was less than 5 years old with less than 60,000 miles, so it was within the power train warrantee period (5yrs/60kmi). the mechanic also found that the engine was leaking quite a bit of oil for such a new car and he said it had a consumption issue. i called honda in august 2018, and started a case regarding oil consumption and noise related to timing chain. they told me to bring vehicle to honda dealership to begin oil consumption test and to have noise looked at. i immediately brought the vehicle to lia honda who told me to wait until oil needed to be changed to start consumption test b/c the oil was recently changed and it would be a waste of new oil. i brought the car into keeler honda in november of 2018 to complete the oil consumption test when the oil needed to be changed and to have the noise checked out. they changed the oil and couldn't figure out the noise, stating the car was fine. as i drove the car over the next few months the noise got worse. i brought the car to the dealership where i bought the car and they stated i should bring the car back to honda because it should've been under warrantee and something was definitely wrong. i called honda manufacturer and referenced my case from aug of 2018- they agreed to document that my car was covered b/c these issues stem from when it was under warrantee (now has 62kmi). keeler honda found a service bulletin to replace vtc actuator related to noise. this was replaced and covered by honda. the car still has oil consumption issue! 2015 cr-v's were recalled due to oil consumption to replace the engine, but not 2014's? same issue!!!!!
The crv starts to shake when slowly accelerating between 25 to 30 miles an hour goes away once it reaches above 30 mile/hour. this has been going on since the last 8 months.
Engine rattles for 2 to 3 seconds on starting the car after a long period (around 8 hours). contacted honda, and they want the customer to cover majority of the cost. honda says the issue is only a nuisance and will not cause engine damage, but will not give this in writing.
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.
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]!
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. while driving at high speeds, the vehicle vibrated drastically. schomp honda (1003 plum valley ln, highlands ranch, co, 1-(303) 798-1500) diagnosed that the drive shaft/propeller and rear axle mount needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the vin and failure mileage were not available.
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 2014-2017. honda won't address it because they say they can't replicate it.
When i make a sharp turn usually to the left, the car doesn't go when i accelerate. i have to back off of the gas pedal then accelerate again, which causes an unsafe situation. i have taken it back to the dealer 3 times and they say they can't duplicate the problem even though it happens frequently with me. the car is stationary when i want to accelerate like at a light where i am turning left.
There is a loud grinding noise lasting approximately 2 seconds at cold startup. this has happened about 6 times in the last 6 months. my vehicle has only 22700 miles. i'm concerned this is causing damage to the engine.

First drive of the day the transmission is ragged. earlier 2014 crv had recall. mine did not. i had software updated and transmission fluid changed as recommended for earlier versions. problem went away. honda should recall the later 2014's as well.
This is an entermentent issue. the starter moyer grinds after the engine has started. the tpms light comes on intermentenly even if the tires are at the proper inflation pressure. hope honda does something about these issues.

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. updated 10/28/15. *jb updated 11/01/2017*cn
The awd on the 2014 honda crv fails when the outside temperature falls below zero, the all wheel drive vehicle then is just a front wheel drive vehicle. we live in the northern part of the usa and often deal with snow packed roads. without the awd working this leads to difficult and dangerous driving condition and at times loss of control. the dealership has had the vehicle in 4 times and has been unable to fix the problem and at this time has not offered and solution to the situation, only that the tech/engineers will look into the issue. at this time can not even get the vehicle up the hill of our snow packed driveway without a tow. *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 sped up going down the hill in first gear to approximately 40mph even with the brake on, which would not engage and the anti-lock brakes were engaging and not even trying to stop the vehicle. the car behaved the same even if on flat ground that had even a dusting of snow or even a little gravel. the dealership gave me a courtesy 2014 same year as mine, it drove much better and much safer than mine performed after the first 2 days. i feel the car has more issues than just the differential and is a major safety hazard as the last 1-2 weeks the car has had no control in anything other than dry roads. it has almost wrecked more than once due to these issues. this vehicle is 3.5 months old and had under 10,000 miles on it and all of this has gone wrong since the beginning. *tr
