Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 68 of 68, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. While driving 25 MPH, the vehicle shuddered. The contact stated that the failure only occurred at 25 MPH. The vehicle was taken to lindsay honda (5959 scarborough blvd, columbus, oh 43232, (614) 864-5250) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be serviced and the vehicle also needed a hardware update. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was again diagnosed by the same dealer and the contact was informed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
My 2014 honda crv with 75,000 miles is in need of a drive shaft. I cannot find a recall on this. Honda is doing nothing about it. My mechanic was informed that there has been trouble with this part on other 2014 models.as a matter of fact the part was backordered! It seems absurd to me that this should happen in 75,000 miles. Can you help me? As you know this will cost me between $2500.00-$3000.00!!! Of course I will not purchase another honda vehicle since the customer does not seem to matter to that company]!
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.
Vehicle shakes while in motion when automatic transmission shifts between 25mph-45mph using over-drive. This does not happen when over-drive is turned off. Transmission computer has been updated but this did not correct the problem as hoped by honda dealership. The problem is on-going.
Car hesitates and then may surge on acceleration, especially from full stop, rolling stop, or low speed, as in highway merging. I suspect the transmission. It is intermittent, at least several times/week from 2014-2017. Honda won't address it because they say they can't replicate it.
When I make a sharp turn usually to the left, the car doesn't go when I accelerate. I have to back off of the gas pedal then accelerate again, which causes an unsafe situation. I have taken it back to the dealer 3 times and they say they can't duplicate the problem even though it happens frequently with me. The car is stationary when I want to accelerate like at a light where I am turning left.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. On several occasions, the vehicle stalled while idling. The contact stated that the vehicle also surged while idling and the rpms fluctuated. The dealer diagnosed that the ABS module caused the failure. Due to the ABS module failure, the transmission module software could not be updated to prevent the surge while the vehicle was idling. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,790.
First drive of the day the transmission is ragged. Earlier 2014 crv had recall. Mine did not. I had software updated and transmission fluid changed as recommended for earlier versions. Problem went away. Honda should recall the later 2014's as well.
Every 14-15 days, I am having to get a jump because the car would not start. I had the battery checked and was told that there is not problem with the battery. When driving the car, the car "shudders" when approaching 20 MPH and 40mph.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda cr-v. The contact stated when the vehicle jerked after a complete stop and during acceleration the vehicle hesitated then jerked. In addition, the contact stated that vehicle's alarm activated and failed to deactivate. As a result, the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the alarm module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The technician could not determine the failure of the vehicle jerking. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000. Updated 04/20/16*lj the consumer stated the transmission was replaced in march 2016. Updated 03/22/17.
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
Previous submission ntsb number: 10670827. Purchased new 2014 honda cr-v ex-l from sheehy honda, richmond highway, alexandria virginia. Vehicle was returned three times for significant vibrations throughout the vehicle when at highway speeds. Sheehy failed to correct the problem, I notified honda corporate, who transferred my case(number: [xxx]) to pohanka honda, capital heights maryland. Pohanka researched the problem and identified the drive shaft as the problem (part number 2191a8 - propeller shaft). Drive shaft was replaced 21 january 2015. Problem has subsided but continues at a lower threshold. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
The awd on the 2014 honda crv fails when the outside temperature falls below zero, the all wheel drive vehicle then is just a front wheel drive vehicle. We live in the northern part of the USA and often deal with snow packed roads. Without the awd working this leads to difficult and dangerous driving condition and at times loss of control. The dealership has had the vehicle in 4 times and has been unable to fix the problem and at this time has not offered and solution to the situation, only that the tech/engineers will look into the issue. At this time can not even get the vehicle up the hill of our snow packed driveway without a tow.

I bought at 2014 crv end of sept/oct of 2013. Upon the first snow fall I drove the vehicle and had immediate problems. The car was not getting any traction, it was sliding around going down hills and upon trying to drive up hills it would stop without even trying to go up. It would stop and wheels would spin, the rear end spun to the side and I could not get anywhere. The amber awd lights came on and flashed, combination of both scenarios. I finally got it into the dealership as the problem got worse. The rear differential has been deemed defective (overheating issue to point of almost glowing and fluid overheated). The other problem I have had is that if the car was put into 1st or 2nd gear to aid slowing down on a hill, even from a stopped position, it would not respond. The car sped up going down the hill in first gear to approximately 40mph even with the brake on, which would not engage and the anti-lock brakes were engaging and not even trying to stop the vehicle. The car behaved the same even if on flat ground that had even a dusting of snow or even a little gravel. The dealership gave me a courtesy 2014 same year as mine, it drove much better and much safer than mine performed after the first 2 days. I feel the car has more issues than just the differential and is a major safety hazard as the last 1-2 weeks the car has had no control in anything other than dry roads. It has almost wrecked more than once due to these issues. This vehicle is 3.5 months old and had under 10,000 miles on it and all of this has gone wrong since the beginning.
