2014 Honda CR-V: jerking or lurching

Filed Feb 11, 2019 · Transmission · 95,000 miles · MN

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.

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.

Turned left into driveway and hit brakes, car lurched forward and sped up. I jammed on the brakes and it stopped just before ramming into the garage door. Please note that this is the second incident. Approximately one month ago, a similar thing happened after I applied the brakes, turned left, then slight right to pull off the road to park. Suddenly, instead of stopping, the car lurched forward. I slammed on the brakes and was able to stop about 20 feet from my intended stopping place.

I entered a parking lot to take my grandgirls to a wildlife refuge exhibit. Drove down driveway, turned left off of driveway to park car facing west which would be facing another car facing east. Turn was immediate, so brakes were applied. Car did not slow down or stop . . . Rather, it accelerated with a lurch! I was laying on the brakes; they did not engage until frontal contact pushed facing car out of my way, and I was able to throw car into park. No action when engaging emergency brakes. Of course, documented as an "at-fault" accident by my insurance company. (may I personally mention that I have been driving 48 years and have never had an "at-fault" accident - haven't even hit a garbage can!) returned car to honda dealership to check out braking/acceleration. The response from the service representative was, (and I directly quote), "we couldn't find a problem, but, when you experience this problem again, please have it towed to our dealership!" I have owned 14 subsequent hondas, but will never own another! That crv took its own free will as I tried my best to control it - nothing doing! Updated 10/07/15*lj updated 11/08/2017

When changing from park to drive as soon as the vehicle rolls forward a few feet it clunks then lurches as if the transmission finally kicked in.

Our 2014 honda cr-v (picked up the car 11/14/14) has a problem with hesitation during acceleration. Had 125 miles on the cr-v when the incident occurred in a local shopping center. After entering the center and going about 15 MPH I stepped on the gas pedal and nothing. After a few seconds as I gently again pressed down on the accelerator the vehicle lurched forward. Scared the heck out of my wife and I. I hit the brakes. Then slowly pressed down on the gas pedal and the car responded okay. We went another 200 feet or so and was making a turn into a parking aisle when it did it again. Two people crossing the lot came close to being hit. This is very dangerous and unsafe. We will be returning to the dealership and want this fixed before someone is seriously hurt or worse.
