2014 Honda CR-V: engine stalls while driving

Filed Aug 10, 2022 · Engine · IL · crash

The engine had been having an oil consumption issue. I was back and forth with Honda who kept pushing me around. Filed complaints there as well. The first I was ever notified there was a problem is when I brought my car in for service and was told the oil was barely present. Was notified by the mechanic this is a known issue that should be reported. I reported and nothing was really done. They would bring me in for an oil change, I would come back and they would somehow "forget" to document I returned. Was told not to add oil and my car stalled and I crashed into a parking lot with my child in the back seat on a busy street. Nothing was done to help me with the issue. I brought in every single oil change I had ever had on the vehicle and I was told I was not doing the routine maintenance even though I had proof. This is a huge concern for safety as me or my child could have been injured and Honda did nothing to help or even attempt to help with the concern.

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.

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.

My car has black sot all over it! On the out side. It is driving slowly with a feel of a stall? And not going well with what I feel in the power! I think it may be the emissions controls? & there is a burning smell when I use the heat ? What if any thing can I do from here ?? It is in the garage and just trying to figure out where it comes from? I know about the oil refineries that are burning ? But I am too far to have this happen on my auto? I took it to the dealer an told me that is what it is ? But I have had a lot of damage from thief's here where I live! The drug heads need to go over the wall I need to sees if it is the car????

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.

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
