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.
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.
Heater not blowing hot air. Honda anti-freeze seems to be dissolving radiator
Entering a parking space at a local cvs the car self accelerated to a very high speed. The car charged forward . The brakes could not stop the car until it slammed into 2 parked cars on the other side of the store entrance.also, the safety bags did not open. The car was like a raging bull. The car went over 1 parking block crossing over the front of the store ,over another block before stopping.. The accelerator went berserk without any foot on the gas pedal. I am unable to scan any reports electronially
Engine sputters when going into 2nd gear.
Driving slowly in heavy traffic on I-95 in phila car stalled and was restarted, but battery light stayed on. Engine temperature indicator was normal. After 15 minutes of additional slow driving car started smoking under the hood. Soon after pulling over to shoulder, flames started in the engine compartment and a short time later the entire car was engulfed in flames. 911 was called, police and fire truck came. Car was totally destroyed. Mileage was approx 32,000 and vehicle was well-maintained. Philadelphia police (or possibly pa state police) report was filed: pa2018.545044. I uploaded two very graphic pictures - one showing entire vehicle engulfed in flames. If you did not receive, please contact me.
Vtc actuator is faulty. Just over 65000 miles.
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
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.
Honda crv 2014 noice in the engine when I'm driving the car and is annoying very bad . Night light is not working correctly the light is not bright an accident can happen AC a gas smell is coming from inside the AC
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 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.
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.
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.
Vtc actuator grinds on start up ..recurring on first start up... I see dozens of people complaining about this why not a recall
On cold start engine makes loud grinding sound. Vehicle was purchased in january 2016 and has continuously done this on cold mornings
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 federal safety agency website. Correct this issue and take action.
Upon starting car in the morning, car is stationary, with temperatures below freezing, the engine makes a grinding noise, if only for a few seconds.
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
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.
Car has a loud rattle or grinding sound on a cold startup. Last a couple of seconds then goes away. Has done this for 3 years, since I got it.
Shudder or vibration while driving vehicle at 20-40mph speed.
This present day my car makes a sreaming noise like belt is bad they changed the belt the alternator and something else and they can not find the problem. I asked for a 2017 when I came in to buy a vehicle the dealer insisted on me getting this 2014 when I asked multipul times for a 2017 he said this is a good deal. The first day I got it 6/16/2017 the vibartion was bad I had to bring it back 6/17/2107 they had it 4 days. I picked it up and on the same day the lights were dimming. Sat moorning I reported the issue. 3pm I got in the vehicle to change my shift at work it would not start. The man who came to tow it could not start it on arivial. Mon 6/22/2017 I came in and demanded a new car like I requested when I came in because this vehicle was having to many problems for me to be paying $25,643. The dealer wanted to give me 1,000 less than I paid for it and charge me $32,300 for a honda crv lx 4wd thats marked 27,285 online. I refused to pay that and felt like I am being cheated. He said the problem could be minor let them fix it. I am paying $25,643 for this car and its been in the shop 3xs within 2 months. They want me to keep this car and I keep requesting a 2017 because thats what I came in for and the dealer sat back in his chair and keap telling me the 2014 honda exl is a good deal and did not show me the 2017 he wanted me to get the 2014 honda crv exl when I wanted a 2017 lx special adition 4wd. I admit it is a nice vehicle but it has too many problems and I want my money back and get the 2017 lx crv I requested and I want a different deal thats not going to cheat me out of my money. South hills was honest they was giving me 2017 for 400 amonth at $27,285 when my credit came up and at the time it did it was fair
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.
