Engine rattles at early morning start up , Honda aware of vtc actuator default and needs to open a recall cases to all crv made between 2012-2014. I have had to replace the cam shafts, and drive belt. I have had to replace the control arms and tires. All mt dash lights have come on while I was driving. The car shakes and is scary to drive. This car has safety issues with the control arms in the suspension and acceleration issues that have been reported by consumers. When does someone decide that this is a safety issue. When a car has tire, acceleration, or issues with transmission this is a safety issue. Honda should do something to show they care about the consumer safety. There are many issues with the Honda Cr-v please address the serious ones.

7 Vehicle Shudder problem

Failure Date: 03/28/2018

Upon light acceleration on a city street my car vibrates quite strongly and feels as though the car is going to stall. This issue seems to only happen at low speeds (10-35mph). I have contacted the local Honda dealer with my VIN# and they deny any issue with the vehicle. After further investigation I have found numerous reports online about this very same issue and how Honda is unwilling to address or fix the issue. I hope Honda issue a recall soon because this amount of vibration makes me feel as if there is a lot of mechanical wear happening with every acceleration and that the car could fail at any moment.

When going from 0-30 mph the care will shudder / judder. Only happens at low speed like the transmission is try to catch. This started very early when I bought the car new. Honda has two service bulletin's (15-086 and 17-040) that recognize this issue for 2013 Cr-v's but won't recognize the issue for my VIN #. Comments from many Honda drivers is this is common across all Honda automobiles with the cvt for years dating very far back. Honda should back up there product.

11 Vehicle Shudder problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2014

We traded in a 2005 Honda crv for a 2013 Honda crv. The 2005 was diagnosed with a transmission problem at 70,000 miles. The 2013 started with the same symptoms as the 2005 after owning it for 1 1/2 years. The car would shake and vibrate between 1st and 2nd gear. I described the problem the same ways I described the problem in the 2005 crv. We took it to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. They told us it would have to get worse. Last month it got worse: it would happen several times per day. The shaking was so violent for up to 10 seconds that I didn't feel safe driving it. The car was at the dealership for three weeks and was finally diagnosed with a torque conversion defect. Today I found out that Honda motor company has known about the shaking problem going back to 2002. Their customer service department said they have not issued any bulletins because it's not a safety issue. They also said that they had a you tube video about it. It appears now that the 2005 crv we traded in actually had a torque conversion problem, not a bad transmission. I paid and extra $18,000 for a car that I didn't need. At what point does Honda motors inform the consumers and dealers about this issue? what can I do about this withholding of crucial information? thank you for your time.
