Engine Grinding Noise problems of the 2010 Honda CR-V

I have 2010 Honda crv when I driving the crv, when the transmission is between 2th, 3th gear I hear a grinding noise coming from the transmission. Im no sure what it is, but transmission shift to the 4th gear the noise go away.

2010 Honda crv has excessive oil consumption problem leading to an engine stall on 9/28/17 while driving approx. 30mph on a city street. There was no prior warning of an oil level problem until the oil pressure light came on when the car stalled out. The oil had been changed in the car 2 months prior and was routinely changed approx. Every 4k miles. . The vehicle had also been having a grinding noise when starting up cold each day. This has been determined to be a vtc actuator problem. The excessive oil burning has now also caused an emissions problem (catalytic converter) and the car will not pass state inspection. There are numerous complaints including litigation pertaining to the excessive oil issue and the vtc actuator defect. There needs to be an investigation into whether vehicle crashes/injuries/fatalities involving the affected Honda vehicles are caused by engine stalls or loss or power and furthermore if the excessive oil consumption problem is the cause. If the vtc actuator is causing or contributing to the problem, there needs to be a recall. Also, does excessive oil burning increase the risk of engine fires in these vehicles? is excessive oil burning causing emissions system failures and polluting the environment? a vehicle that burns 4-5 quarts of oil between 5k mile oil changes is not safe to drive for anybody but especially unsafe for the elderly and young drivers. The defect will cause engine performance problems leading to car crashes, engine fires and violates emissions standards.

My car has made a metal on metal grinding noise for four years on a cold startup. This is in warm or cold weather, but only if the car has not been driven for 6 hours or longer. After having this diagnosed and fixed twice by mechanics (the problem always returned), my Honda dealer told me today that it is the vpc actuator. Upon searching this problem, I found it is a well known, defective part for many Honda accords and Cr-vs and that it can cause serious engine problems. I'm disappointed that this has not ever been communicated to me and that fixing it will cost me $1,000 since Honda knows this is a defective part.

I bought my Honda crv brand new 2010. By the time the car was 2 year old, with 10,000 miles, there was a grinding noise when I would start the car. The grinding noise lasts about 2 seconds. It has been into a Honda dealership several times. I was told Honda is working on a "fix" and that the problem would be addressed when the engineering department had the issue figured out. One year later (but still under warranty), the grinding noise is louder and longer than before, and happens almost every time I start the car. Upon doing some research, I learned that Honda has been installing the defective vtc actuator since 2008, in accords. The defective actuator was also installed in 2012-2014 crv's. It appears that Honda continued to use the defective actuator since 2008, yet customers are being told that a "fix" is in the works, 7 years later. American Honda has advised Honda service departments to not replace the actuator as it is likely that the replacement actuator will present the same grinding noise. A regional case manager also assured me that a "fix" was in the works but did not comment when I pointed out that Honda continued to use a defective part from 2008-2014. Honda repeatedly emphasizes that this is not a safety or performance issue, to which I have replied that is likely the reason it has been 7 years with no fix -- it is a low priority and Honda chooses to direct its engineering resources elsewhere. .
