2014 Honda CR-V transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 68, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The automatic transmission in the car causes the vehicle to shake and vibrate when accelerating. The faster the acceleration, the more violent the shaking.The problem seems to be when the car shifts from 3rd gear into the next higher gear(s). There is a significant, sometimes violent, shaking of the entire vehicle when shifting. The effect is that there is no confidence that the vehicle will shift according to the driver's expectations. This creates a situation where the driver can easily become distracted from nearby traffic situations, and easily cause a potentially dangerous consequence. Base on the history of Honda CRVs from 2012-2013 and earlier, this has been a common issue with Honda automatic transmissions in the past. This happens without prior warning (i.e. dashboard warning lights, messages, etc.)
Torque converter issues / shuddering when going from 2nd to 3rd gear
My Honda has had the front axle replaced twice and now the Honda Dealership is stating it needs to be replaced a third time. The Passenger side also had to have the knuckle or whatever replaced where the tire extends. I mostly drive my child to school and myself to work and or highway driving. I have own cars since I was 16, am now quite past that year and have never had to have the front axle replaced three (3) times?? Driving is very difficult but there is nothing I can do about it - the cost each time is close to 2K. Thanks
The transmission shudders and shakes under light acceleration at speed 20-30 mph. looks like this is a known issue by Honda. check the bulletin (15-086 and 17-040) (the document says : the warranty is 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first.) There are service bulletins out from Honda with corrective actions to be taken Honda wants to charge to perform the fix with no guarantee it will solve the known problem.
VTC Actuator Timing valve rattles at cold start on highway when going over 50-65mph engine rattles very hard and vehicle shakes to point have to pull over. Looked all over online and thousands of customers have same issue even lawsuits. Took to Middletown NY Honda and they say out of warranty and nothing they can do but pay $1500to replace a known faulty part that once replaced could happen again or cause catstrostapic engine damage. please make a recall
We are having repeat problems with the VTC Actuator. This was replaced in 2018 under warranty but has since recurred. Our car is now at the dealer with a diagnostic of timing chain, vtc actuator, and cam gear for a cost of 2100 dollars. It is no longer under warranty and the cost is being passed on to us. This complaint is all over the internet and it is a Honda defect. Please work to support consumers and issue a recall promptly. Honda needs to fix this issue. We also, like many other, burn through oil. It’s amazing how everyone is reporting the same issues in cold starts. (Rattles).
My 2014 honda crv seems to shudder around 23 to 35 MPH at slow acceleration. This has been going on for a good while now. I changed the fluid transmission fluid and still no changes, it still has an hard shudder.
On engine starting especially morning or cold starts engine chain sprocket clatters for a number of seconds. In november 2016 or 2017 went to honda dealer for check out performance and any problems or recalls at castle honda moron grove il tel # 847‑965‑8833. We questioned about the rattling coming on when 1st start of the day. They just answered some engines do this when they are cold, don't worry about that! Well we didn't worry it since the honda dealer answered its ok. Now over time the rattling is getting longer and louder. I work for the state and at times am not available to help my wife when I am not at home. Iam afraid the rattling may cause the engine to stop running totally and place her in danger. My name is [xxx] I am 73 years old and a honda buyer since 1965.. I wish you to check with your engineers about the timing chain problems and oilchain lubricating problems and technical changes involving al hondas in this particular motors. Thank you [xxx].

I have an issue with my crv that my auto is shaking while I'm driving under light acceleration. I visited 2 different locations of honda dealership. They both asked me to have diagnosis.although I know what is wrong. So, I got diagnosis from honda in falls church, va. They verified my concern that technician recommends to perform transmission fluid flush and transmission software update. My concern is my auto mileage is now over 82k so I'm not available to have the service under warranty. I heard that many crv owners have the same issue. I hope I could get the service under warranty
I purchased a 2014 honda crv with 13,000 miles on in, a year after I purchased it at 31,000 miles the vtc actuator had to be replaced as it would make a grinding noise on start-up. It has been 2 years and I am having the same issue with the noise and only have 65k miles on it. This appears to be an ongoing issue in honda forums and the part is clearly defective or there is an issue with it as there is a safety bulletin issued, but no recall yet.
Vehicle experiences shudder under light to normal acceleration at or around 2000 RPM. There are service bulletins out from honda with corrective actions to be taken. Honda wants to charge to perform the fix with no guarantee it will solve thew known problem.
Rattling sound at start up and oil consumption,. 2 quarts between oil changes and have checked the level weekly.
Vibration while driving under light acceleration usually occurs when engine/transmission is cold. Usually occurs around 25 MPH during light acceleration. *tr *bf
I live in mn, and only cold air blowers out of the heater vent on the drivers side. This is a known issue by honda (tsb 14-063), it is a clogged heater core. I have had it fixed 2 times ($120/per time) and it keeps happening. This is a serious issue when it is 20 below and there is no heat in my crv.
I have honda cr-v 2014 with only 41k, the same problem is with the shake, judder, vibration between 25-30 mpg.
On cold start-ups there is a loud rattle coming from the engine. My cr-v only has 54,000 miles on it and this is ridiculous. I am told it could be the vtc actuator and can only hope that my extended warranty will cover it. Not the quality I expect from honda at all. Researching this can lead to oil consumption and a stretched timing chain and premature engine failure.
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.
Driving at low speed (20-40mph) the car will flutter/shimmy. This is a known issue with honda america as they have two service bulletins regarding the issue. There are multiple online forums with cr-v owners having the same exact problem with low and high mileage. The dealership performed the first "fix" according to the honda service bulletin and it was ok for about 2 weeks and now it's back, worse than ever. The second fix according to honda is a torque converter replacement, which may or may not help the problem.
At cold start-up, the engine rattles loudly for a few seconds, every time now. Defective variable valve timing control (vtc) actuator. Vtc actuator is defective. Over time, this can cause fragmented issues, affecting other integral areas of vehicle operation.
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.

The consumer stated the manufacturer was notified, but declined assistance due to an expired warranty.
The car vibrated during acceleration at 25 and 32mph. The honda of san marcos,tx dealer updated the software and that fixed the problem. Since many 2014 honda crvs have this problem, this should be a recall. Honda should reimburse me the $365.15 that they charged me to fix the transmission vibration.
The crv starts to shake when slowly accelerating between 25 to 30 miles an hour goes away once it reaches above 30 mile/hour. This has been going on since the last 8 months.
I noticed that the vehicle would skate between 25-30 MPH when accelerating. I took it to the closest honda dealership to have it looked at, hoping it was covered under my warranty. I was told that I had to pay $140 for them to just check my vehicle. Then they called me to tell me that it was caused by a software issue and honda had created an update, which I would have to pay to receive. That they would also have to flush my transmission fluid as part of this, and that the cost would be $499 with labor and taxes. I then also went ahead and had my oil changed and my brake fluid since it was recommended. Total bill was $703. I then came home and started looking up and it appears that many other people have/had the same issue. Most weren't charged by their dealer for the update and fluid change, which seems to correct the issue. But I was. And I have the silver warranty under fidelity. And it affected my power train, but they co wider it a software issue, not mechanical, so they would not cover it. Honda should not charge for this issue, which was clearly affecting enough people to cause them to have an update available. But why charge for it? It's a malfunction in their software which affected the vehicles performance, and they should have done a recall and provided this for free.
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.
Vibration during slow acceleration at speed 20-45 RPM. Back off acceleration then it will go a way. Symptom start to show up 65,000 miles
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. While driving at high speeds, the vehicle vibrated drastically. Schomp honda (1003 plum valley ln, highlands ranch, co, 1-(303) 798-1500) diagnosed that the drive shaft/propeller and rear axle mount needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.
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.
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!!!!!
