Car had brief noise at cold start up x5 this led to dashboard lights investigating the information through other complaints. took into honda the vtc actuator and timing chain had failed this was repaired at honda - no recall notice to me - found several public notices and bulletins to support the issue
Engine rattle noise upon cold start.
I was parking in a parking space behind a parked car in front of my car. i applied the brakes, and my car lunged forward with a tremendous acceleration and hit the parked car in front of me. at least, almost $5,000 in damage was done.
The car vibrates heavily when accelerating slowly between 20-30mph.
Run away engine there have been 5-6 occurrences within the last 2 years that are unexplainable. infrequently while trying to stop either in traffic or for pedestrians the engine suddenly revs to approx. 2200 rpm while i'm on the brake. on 3/5/17 i was with a exford engineer who witnessed it happen in traffic. when i put the vehicle in park to try and stop the crv, the engine revved way up before it snapped and went back into a normal drive situation and went down to normal rpm. it now has been reported to honda 3x and back to a dealer twice. i will now call honda again but this is getting more dangerous each time. it has happened in ca and az but while reoccurring, it's not a regular item. it appears in the software or engine computer to him.
Shudder or vibration while driving vehicle at 20-40mph speed.
Our 2014 honda crv has been making a clattering noise at start up for the past several months. apparently there is a well know defect with the vtc accurator and yet honda hasn't alerted consumers to this defect or issued a recall. i am writing you to alert you or to add to other complaints you have received regarding this issue. if they don't notify consumers, then the warranty period can go by and then the consumer is left with the bill. thank you.
Engine caught fire in my 2014 honda cr-v while i was driving to work the morning of january 19, 2017. i purchased the cr-v new in early 2015. at the time of the engine fire there was 49,585 miles on the vehicle. the only work ever completed on the cr-v were timely oil and filter changes, and tire rotations. there was not any suggested or required work that was not completed. there was nothing unusual with the car, no noises, no odors, and i was the last person to drive the vehicle prior to this day. forensics report concluded that the fire originated in the engine compartment in and around the fuel system. at 8:50am on thursday morning january 19, 2017 i left my home in nj to travel to work 14 miles away. in leaving home the cr-v started normal. i was about 10 minutes into the typical 45 minute drive. i was driving on a two lane highway. i was slowing down to about 10 mph to merge into one lane. i noticed light white smoke coming in from the passenger side vent. i then noticed more grayish smoke coming from the right side of the engine hood. i pulled over off the highway onto the shoulder. there was nothing unusual on the panel of the car, no lights, no gauges, the temp was normal. i called 911 at about 9:01am. the fire department had the fire out in about 12 minutes. the cr-v of course was a complete loss.
Fuel consumption. losing 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. no oil leak..
Starter does not fully disengage after starting ,especially on cold mornings.i feel this will damage the flywheel. grinding noise! note ; vechicle was stationary at time.
Engine emits rattle/grinding sound for 1-3 seconds on cold start in cold weather. ## vin passed ## honda crv 2014 ## *tr
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.
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.

The car engine will grind when starting for the first time on a cold day. it does then start but in the past 12 months on three occasions it failed to start at all. the last time being april 1, 2016. took it to mechanic and was told the battery is fine and could not find anything wrong, but it still grinds at start up. the best description is two pieces of metal grinding together. lot of honda owners are complaining about the exact same problem in particular on the web site below: http://www.crvownersclub.com/forums/13-dear-honda-feedback-forum/36273-2-4l-engine-noise-cold-start-up-crv-accord.html
Others have reported this. on starting when cold, a slight grinding noise from the engine. when will honda either fix or compensate owners?
Gridding noise for engine started at 14,000 miles and dealership said honda working on fix, then at 50,000 really rough idle and no power ,heavy vibration when accelerating . still no fix! 52,000 cr-v in shop again .
Starter sticks and doesn't disengage for a few seconds after engine turns and starts. as a result, starter solenoid gear grinds against flywheel teeth, causing damages to the teeth of solenoid and/or flywheel. this mechanical fault occurs every time after a vehicle is parked for a day or more. weather (cold or hot) doesn't affect the defect.
Cold weather engine starts with rattle sound vtc actuator issue.

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.
The car is hesitance during acceleration, the car vibrates while driving, more noticed during highway driving. his started aug 20,2018, wen i start the car, the engine makes noise shakes during a cold start. have been told nothing is wrong. began having problems in late 2016 thru march 2018. this happens during cold temperatures.
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.
My cr-v is 18 months old and since last dec. has the grinding sound when first started. the tire pressure signal lights up on occasion but when tire pressure is checked no tire is low. took car to dealer and they said it could be fixed while under warranty. hope so, but after seeing other complaints not so sure. bought this car based on friends recommendations and honda's reputation. wish i had known about this website prior to purchase!
I bought my crv in oct 2013. for the second winter the continues to be a loud grinding noise on first start of the day. it must be in the 20s or lower for the noise. this winter i had the dealer verify the problem. said it's the vtc actuator and honda is working on it. dealer agrees it is a defeat, but honda has no fix in place. apparently replacing the vtc actuator will not fix the problem. honda has been aware of the problem for at least 2 years now. still no word. i thinking honda is just moving on and ignoring this problem.
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.
Cold weather startup, grinding noise for a few seconds.
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.
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.
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.
On cold mornings, the car starts with a grinding noise from the engine for about a second or two.
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
When doing the first oil change, there were significant oil leak around timing chain cover.
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.
The car engine cranks up like its already engaged even after sitting overnight or for a long period of time. i told the car dealer about it and he said the manufacturing knows, but was early last year. it's happening more often now. the vehicle is always parked, either at home or work on a flat surface. ( parking lot or driveway)
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
Every morning with temperatures under 20 deg f, there is a grinding noise upon start up, noise varies in duration between 1-2 seconds.
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.
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 have a problem with numerous other honda vehicles. any help you can give me is appreciated. *tr
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 solution and a push from them to replace the vtc actuator. the tech played dumb and said i was the first owner to have this compliant and therefore could not pin point the problem and could not fix something he did not know what it could be. i took my car from them after sitting there since friday, saturday, sunday and monday jan 19. honda care did not push the issue to the dealership so i am considering trading in my car. i cannot be held accountable for a faulty honda problem. now i the consumer have been duped by this ignorance and letting this known issue just sit around and get bigger with consumers. *tr
Bought 2014 honda crv the engine start making the grinding noise on start up in cold weather. brought it into the dealer and they said that it is know issue and honda is working on it. funny thing is i know other people who own the same model of crvs and they have no engine grind on start up. this is common in 2012-12014 and they have not had any issues. from what i read it sounds like honda has been working on this issue since the 2012 model, and it's now 2016. ii'm pretty sure i will trade in my crv for a something else than a honda.
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
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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. when the vehicle was cold started, the contact heard an intense grinding noise coming from the engine. the noise only lasted for a few seconds, but the contact was concerned of engine damage. the contact researched the internet and found forums regarding the failure. the contact spoke with o'donnell honda (8620 baltimore national pike, ellicott city, md 21043, (410) 461-5000) while the warranty was still valid; however, there was no remedy at the time. the warranty had expired and the dealer would not assist with the repair. the manufacturer stated that nothing could be done because the warranty was expired. the failure mileage was 30,000.
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.
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
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.
