Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problems of the 2012 Honda CR-V

2012 Honda Cr-v. When the vehicle is started, an abnormal loud rattling noise is heard coming from the engine. There are no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Honda city dealer located in levitown NY where it was diagnosed that the vtc actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at a cost of $750 to the owner. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided to repair the defective part. The noise appeared when the car was only 3 years old and the dealer was contacted by phone but said there was no permanent fix yet and to call back when the noise got louder. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000 which was less than the warranty milage of 60,000. Honda is aware of this defective part that can cause further engine damage or failure but no recall has been issued. Poor response by Honda.

Rattle noise on cold start up. Vtc actuator replaced under warranty and now same problem again after 10;000 miles. From my reading and speaking to several auto mechanics, this is a common problem with this model of car and it seems like Honda of America has not taken responsibility for addressing this problem adequately. I think a recall of this engine or an extension of the warranty should be required.

The vtc is making a rattling noise on a cold start up. This started out of nowhere and has not gone away. My car is parked in a garage at home and is parked outside at work but will do the same no matter what.

The engine makes a rattling noise when the car is turned on in cold weather, usually when it is first turned on in the morning. I live on the gulf coast, so it really doesn't even get that cold down here, but I have noticed this on multiple "cold" mornings (temperatures maybe in the 40s). I noticed several other people have reported this problem. I don't know if it is causing damage to the car, but it does not sound good.

After owning for 5 years, during winter months a loud rattle sounded each and every time the motor was turned on. It did not matter if engine was cold or not. I took to dealer who said for $699 they would try and fix but no guarantees and could still exist. I spoke to different mechanic who said if I continued without getting it repaired, it could ruin the engine. I called the corp office to be told that there was not a recall because they did not have a replacement. I was forced to sell the car. I am looking for compensation.

Engine rattles on cold start. Ties to their service bulletin 09-010 issue. This was reported to suburban Honda novi 7/18/2016 when car mileage was 59716.

Honda crv 2012 when starting the care in the morning, engine makes a rattling noise after it starts. This has been happening for the past year or so, on a daily basis. Of late, it happens in the evening as well. I. E) whenever the car has not been running for a couple of hours. The Honda dealership is saying that there is no bulletin from american Honda company on this, in order to fix the issue. And that this is not causing any damage to the engine. However, I see a service bulletin issued in October 2012 specifically for this, and it is stored on the NHTSA. Dot. Gov website. Service bulletin 2012 american Honda motor CO. , inc. ¿ all rights reserved atb 41171-48259 (1210) 1 of 6 October 6, 2012 09-010 spoke to american Honda customer service and they clarified that they had updated that bulletin since then. They are advising the dealers to not apply those steps and have removed it as a recommendation (since 2013) to fix the engine rattle noise. They are deeming this as a "noise irritant". And asked us to check back in 4 months from now. However, on a product such as this car, the appearance is important. Right now, it sounds like I am driving a clunker! also, the concerns are: a) damage to the engine / actuator is still happening? b) is it safe to start the engine despite rattling noise? c) engine might eventually not start at all d) a loose part might destroy the engine while driving on a highway and result in an accident! thanks!.
