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.
My vehicle is suffering from an extremely common problem within the 4th generation crv - the vtc actuator is making a grinding noise during cold startups. there is a active bulletin regarding the issue, tsb 16-012 ver. 2. the issue is further compounded by the fact that it does not happen literally every single time i turn the car on. it only happens sometimes. the dealership told me to leave it with them overnight. then in the morning they will test it and try to duplicate the problem. if they can't duplicate it, then they won't fix it. this is frustrating.
Known & very documented issue with cold start vtc actuator. engine noise at every cold start. if all these similar complaints are reviewed.... why hasn't this lead to an investigation / recall ?
My 2014 honda crv just crossed 87,000 miles, started with engine rattling noise during cold start, and now got the check engine, steering and traction lights turned on on the dashboard. i took it mechanic and after performing diagnosis they told me that the vtc actuator and timing chain needs replacements. i came to know that it was due to manufacturing defect on the faulty vtc actuator as mentioned in technical service bulletin 16-012. this vtc actuator problem contribute to high oil consumption as mentioned in this link: https://www.julieannacline.com/engine- rattles-on-cold-startup-tsb-09-010/ in the recent oil service i was informed that was low engine oil.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. while the vehicle was in the park position, the gear was placed into drive and the vehicle began to rev up approximately four times. the contact placed the vehicle back into the park position and turned off the vehicle. the contact took the vehicle to antrim way honda (located at 200 s antrim way, greencastle, pa 17225, 877-870-8241), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 42,948. *tr
Vehicle made grinding noise upon start-up over several months. honda claimed it is not damaging the engine and there is no fix. engine continued to grind and my car began having oil problems. honda still said there was no issue and they were not related. car continued grinding until this week when all lights on the dashboard lit up. i took my honda and was told the timing chain is stretched and it needs another vtc actuator replacement (this was fixed under warranty three years ago). the car could have stalled while driving. this is a known issue that honda is refusing to acknowledge or recall in honda cr-v's. they charged me $1800 to fix an issue known to them. this could have resulted in bodily injury to myself or others if the car had stalled while driving. honda should take responsibility for their faulty engines. there are multiple complaints on this same issue.
Rattle from engine every startup. louder and longer when cold. timing chain? this problem has been ongoing since cpo purchase. it's getting louder and i'm afraid it will destroy my engine, before honda admits to a defective part and does a recall.
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 a/c compressor pulley bearing seal is broken/busted and is grinding causing a burning smell. the idler pulley bearing seal is broken/busted and is squealing. all the routine maintenance is up to date. this automobile is only 3 years old and already having problems with the basic engine components. is this a rare case for this make and model or is it that honda is no longer considered to be a reliable automobile?
Crv was rattling for about a week. started only in the morning in the cold and progressively got worse. we were supposed to take the car in to the mechanic the next day but as my wife was driving on the highway the car completely shut off. we had it towed to the mechanic and he said it's engine failure and had no oil. we had no oil light come on and we get routine oil changes. called honda to see if there was a recall and they said no and offered no help. now i'm stuck with a worthless 5 yr old car that i still owe money on. there are so many complaints about this why hasn't a recall been issued? why is nobody investigating this????
When car reaches 60-70 mph, it shudders like it is trying to change gear. periodic.
The anti-freeze corrodes the radiator causing the core to be blocked. blows hot air on passage side and cold air on driver's side
There is a know problem with grinding at cold startup this should be a manufacturer defective part recall https://youtu.be/kr20baoxbo8
I'm having the infamous vtc actuator grinding on start-up that honda has detailed in service bulletin #16-012. i've contacted honda repeatedly about the issue but they refuse to give me any information about it.
a d v e r t i s e m e n t s with on 34,022 miles, when the heat and fan/blower is on, cold air comes from the driver side vents while warm/hot air blows from the passenger side vents. research indicates a clog in the heater core. a technical service bulletin exists for the problem attached.this issue is a manufacturing defect from either: 1) sand left in the coolant passages after the casting of the engine block and or 2) honda's coolant containing sediment and or 3) honda's coolant causing wear to surfaces it comes in contact with. the windshield freezes up when trying to defrost it and a safety issue in winter. honda needs to cover this repair- please advise, thank you.
When starting the car in the morning there is a grinding noise. it is now getting worse. from the description search on the internet, this seems to be more common in the 2014 honda cr-v. the issue seems to be with the vtc actuator. i believe the part honda has used is defective. this has been an issue in earlier versions of the cr-v and accord.
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!!!!!
Chronic engine light from defective timing chain. noise (rattling) from timing chain area.the timing chain started making noise @ 80k. check engine light started to illuminate in early october with code p0341. cel illuminate on start up. after clearing code vehicle driving the rest of day without cel re illuminating to next morning. i took it to the shop (see attached) where the technician removed the timing cover exposing failed parts. after brief internet search i found numerous complaints of this same nature requiring timing chain and related parts having to be replaced on 2013 and 2014 honda cr-v mileage as 58,000 (see attached). attached is a statement from the master certified technician how preformed the repairs. i also have retained all parts replaced. when the cel light illuminate the tire pressure light,stability control light,and electric steering light also illuminated(see attached)
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
Bought the car from honda dealership in august of 2018. second i drove it off the lot vehicle started to have a vibration from the front end of the car. i brought it back 4 days later because of the vibration and burning smell when i pressed on the brakes. i had to get a new axel replaced on the car. after i had to return car again a week later for the exact same vibrations. yet since then the car still shakes, after bringing it to numerous mechanics the car still shakes. i just brought it back again to the dealership to see again why exactly it is still shaking. i had to get a new differentia for the rear of the vehicle, and that didn't work. i returned it again a week later for fluid and transmission fluid to see if that will work and still persists to shake.

Engine sputters when going into 2nd gear.
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.
I want to ask you to investigate a problem that has honda with the vtc actuator (variable temporal control) which lead to a rattle noise when start in cool weather and most of the mechanics know about it. the vehicle was stationary and present the fail when started in cold conditions. on their dealer own words: the vtc is worn out causing the rattle sound and chain is stretched. the tensioner crack seal needs to be changed. all of their answers make me think is a manufacturing problem because they knew about it and that honda should make a recall. the cost was thousand and six hundred dollars (1,600). they needed to open the engine and the noise didn't go away even after the repairs and the car is now accelerated a little too much. i really appreciate your time and your response either way is investigated or not.

Grinding sound from engine during cold start. grinding sound last a few seconds when engine is cold.
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.

Engine metal rattling noise on cold start up. very disturbing. engine has a rough start as result.
Rattling noise for 1 to 3 seconds when starting the vehicle at temperatures around 35 degrees f. this occurs randomly since purchase. have talked with dealer with no resolution.
On cold start, the engine grinds for about 2 seconds. i bought the vehicle new and this has happened periodically since. dealer service shop usually cannot replicate it because it only happens on cold start after sitting overnight. finally got them to replicate the noise in january 2016 and diagnosed as a vtc actuator problem. apparently a very well known problem and "they fix these all the time, known issue". a week later the noise started again and now the dealer can't replicate again. i only have 10 months left on my warranty and they say they won't replace it again because they can't replicate it. if it's a known issue, this needs to be recalled and fixed again asap. worried about the longevity of the engine, given this has been going on since day one.
Rattling noise for 1 or 2 seconds when starting the vehicle at temperatures around 35 degrees f.
As the temperatures drop, my car makes a horrible grinding noise as though something is seizing in the engine whenever i start the car when the engine is cold. the noise only lasts a few seconds, after which the car runs perfectly fine. the problem tends to occur whenever i start the car after it has been sitting unused for hours in cold weather. this appears to be a common issue with hondas and should be addressed by the manufacturer.
Grinding sound for 1-2 seconds after the engine starts especially during cold start. when i googled it, same sound that affecting vtc actuator.
Engine makes a grinding sound upon start up on cold mornings for a few seconds while parked. this has been a problem since i purchased car. have taken to dealer numerous times, but they cannot tell me what the problem is. numerous complaints from owners about the vtc actuator, but this was never mentioned to me. concerned this will lead to problems if not addressed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. the failure was first noticed during an oil change and there was hardly any oil in the oil pan. the vehicle was taken to kelly honda (540 lynnway, lynn, ma 01905, (781) 484-0160) and they stated that the vehicle normally consumed that amount of oil. the contact had to take the vehicle back to the dealer three more times for the same failure after noticing the oil levels were low. the dealer performed an oil change and asked the contact to return after 1,000 miles. when the contact returned, the dealer checked the oil level and informed the contact that the levels were fine. the contact was not convinced and the dealer informed her to drive another 1,000 miles and bring the vehicle back. when the contact returned, the dealer stated that there was engine failure. the vehicle warranty did not cover the repairs; however, the contact could pay the dealer $1,500 for the repair. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 23,500. the vin was unknown.
Loud grinding sound when starting the car in the garage. this has happened in the past on cold days but temperature today was in the 50s. i am concerned about damage from this as the days here in wisconsin are only going to get colder. i am keeping a running list of occurrences and documenting dates and temperatures.
At cold start-up, the engine rattles loudly for about 2 seconds. this only occurs on the first start of the day. i would like to note dot honda service bulletin sb-10041669-6712 has not been updated since october 6,2012 and therefor only covers honda cr-v's up until 2012. this issue is easily found on honda forums such as hondaproblems.com and multiple times here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-element-cr-v-156/2014-cr-v-grinding-noise-start-up-3228595/ 5 years for a service bulletin update is simply irresponsible problem management on honda's behalf. the supporting evidence is readily available from many cr-v owners on forums, not to mention the large amount of complaints directly on the nhtsa website. correct this issue and take action.
