general problems of the 2014 Honda CR-V - part 1

The lock actuator is malfunctioning. When driving, the driver's door unlocks and the lights turn on overhead, and the "door ajar" light blinks and beeps. This is very unsafe, as the driver side door unlocks and stays unlocked while driving on the highway and also at slower speeds.

From the moment we drove off the lot, this car had had one issue after another, nearly cause me to lose my job because I couldn’t make it to work due to the car being busted. It was getting really bad mpgs, they said it’s fine. It started overheating, they said the coolant fans and radiator cap were what was wrong, for a long while now the tire pressure management system has been on, 24/7, my tires are not low. I bought new tires for the crv. The mechanics don’t really seem interested in fixing anything.

We have to jump start our vehicle every time it is cold outside. Sometimes when it is warmer. Occasionally hear ticking sound inside of fuse box. Headlights have to be replaced often. Major electrical issue with this vehicle.

My 2014 Honda Cr-v ex does not initially start-up following the 3-step starting the engine process as outlined on page 239 of the Cr-v owner's manual. It sometimes takes up to 6 to 12 times for the engine to engage. The starter appears to be defective as it was made.

Key fob stopped working. Doors continuously lock and unlock on their own whether it’s parked, driving, engine off or on and occupied or vacant. Replaced fob battery but all problems still exist including key fob nog working. Recall and class action suit settled for prior years but not 2014. Same problem. Honda needs to fix this issue.

Two times in the past seven years, the starter of the car has required to be replaced. There seem to be thousands of similar complaints about the problem with the starter for the 2014 Honda crv.

1) the system is draining the battery while at rest. Have replaced battery 3 times, including last one several months ago. Dealership cannot fix. Safety: getting stranded is a huge safety issue. 2) car shimmies accelerating uphill. Dealer cannot seem to duplicate. Safety: affects confidence while driving. 3) tire pressure sensor is constantly firing off.

2014 Honda Cr-v ~ power tailgate opener switch assembly, Honda part no. 74810-t0a-a02; Honda service bulletin16-063 issue: power tailgate will not open from the outside to whom it may concern: we purchased a 2014 Honda crv used from a local Honda dealer in 2020. Not long after the purchase, we experienced problems opening the tailgate which is designed to open with the key fob. Frequently, the button under the tailgate lift does not activate and the tailgate will not open. It does not seem to matter if the weather is cold or not. We are presently unable to conveniently access 32. 9 cubic feet of space behind the second row of seats due to the faulty tailgate opener. The second row of seats must first be lowered before groceries, pets, etc. Can be placed into that rear cargo area. This presents a potential safety issue. If we were to be involved in a serious auto accident, first responders might not be able to open the tailgate to access the rear cargo area if it were necessary to extract occupants. We researched this tailgate opener problem online and learned that many Honda crv owners have posted online comments reflecting they have also had issues with this problem. Some claimed they had the switch replaced either under warranty or not, and still experienced the same problem. We were amazed at the number of postings concerning this issue. This issue is bigger than our 2014 Honda crv. It is apparent that the oem equipment switch assembly installed by Honda is faulty. We feel that Honda should offer a voluntary recall to all Honda crv owners who have been impacted by this faulty switch assembly. We plan to address this issue with our congressional representative and other federal agencies to ensure that happens. We appreciate the opportunity to file this complaint online with the NHTSA and look forward to your response.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while the heat was in the on position it failed to produce adequate heat throughout the vehicle. The contact stated the vehicle was cold. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to brown's Honda city used cars 7154 ritchie hwy suite 100, glen burnie, MD 410) 760-6561 where diagnosed the heat was working as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000. Ap.

I have searched online and see that many 2014 Honda crv's have the heating issue described in TSB 14-063 (NHTSA 10120775 and 10118028). My 2014 crv suffers from the same issue. To be precise, the vent all the way to the left of the car (driver's side) does not blow hot air. All three vents to the right seem to blow fine.

Noticed one day that passenger seat had burn marks. Have smelt on occasion what seemed to be burning smells in the past. Don’t use the seat heater there since that was noticed. This is a danger.

While it is stationary, the tailgate cannot be open externally when in cold temperature like 35 degrees. There is no way to open it inside and thus no way to escape through the tailgate from inside. Not safe. Here are links for complaints. It happens to 2012 to 2016 and even 2019 on hrv models. After reading complaints, the only solution is a replacement of the switch. They said it stopped working again even after replacing it. I don't want to spend money for diagnositics and repairs until it works for good. The problem has been getting worse for the last five years. Https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t45488_ds632303 https://www. Carcomplaints.

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.

I had my tires rotated and car serviced on 6/21/19 and on 6/22/19 my tire pressure light came on after driving only 2 miles on the interstate. I pulled over and checked my tires and all were at 40lbs. I reset the tire pressure censure, and a few days later I was yet again driving on the highway and the light came on again. I check my pressure again and all were 40lbs. Before my tires were rotated my light never came on, and now it comes on at least 2-3 times a week. Not sure if it is the sensor that has gone bad or if there is something wrong with how the tires are rotating. My car has 34,500 miles on it. Check tire light only comes on while driving straight; no pot holes were hit and the roads were not uneven.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Honda Cr-v. When the vehicle was started, the power steering, stability, tire pressure, and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer (huggins Honda, 7551 ne loop 820, north richland hills, TX 76180) stated that the vehicle was no longer under warranty and advised the contact to schedule a service appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to the local dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

The compass indicator light will continuously flash the wrong direction. This can happen when starting the car as well as when the car is running either in motion or stationary. Following the recalibration instructions in the manual (driving slowly in tight circles) will usually fix the problem temporarily. This fix may last a day or as little as 10 minutes.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that there had been a strong vibration felt when the vehicle was in motion at a high rate of speed. The dealer had diagnosed that the drive shaft/propeller and rear axle mount needed to be replaced. Schomp Honda, 1003 plum valley ln, highlands ranch, CO, 1-(303) 798-1500 diagnosed the vehicle and the contact was waiting to determine if the guidelines for the repair had pertaining to TSB 15-076 and to verify if there was a service bulletin to provide guidelines for the dealers repair. The vehicle was not repaired yet. The manufacturer was notified of the failure to determine the guidelines for the dealers repair. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

The tailgate door doesn’t open normally sometime I have to push the button more than 10 times then it open but most of the time it doesn’t open. I use this car as a spare or for emergency only so I just wait for Honda to recall, hopefully I don’t want to spend a lot of money to fix because the warranty has expired (41 months but only 25000 miles)but now I use this car every day.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated while parked and attempting to open the rear lift gate, the lift gate failed to open. The contact stated while depressing the button on the rear hatch handle in cold weather, the lift gate failed to open. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure as they were attempting diagnose the failure in a warm shop. The contact stated that the rear lift gate electrical mechanism in handle was replaced; however, the failure recurred in cold weather. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the lift gate electrical mechanism a second time. The contact stated that the failure persisted in cold weather. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

Battery provided very slow starts and other electrical/electronic anomalies on a number of occasions within a month or so prior to testing and replacement on 01/24/17. Vehicle (and the oem battery) had 22,119 miles at time of failure, and had been in service for appr. 17 months. No evidence of abuse. Honda reimbursed for diagnosis & replacement at independent shop.

Tpms light comes on every time I drive over 60 mph for more than a few miles. The bumpier the road, the sooner the light comes on. All air pressures are correct per manufacturer recommendations.

The passenger door will no open from the outside or inside when the door is unlocked. Being parked at home, I went to open the door from the outside and was unsuccessful. Dealership says the door actuator is out and they see this on Honda's very frequently. I consider this a major safety feature and feel it should have already been recalled if it has been known. Apparently this is not uncommon for Honda's and they have had a recall on this in prior year models.

Out of the blue, my Honda Cr-v 2014 won't start, I have to jump it, and went to the auto parts store, got my battery check out and everything level of the battery came back normal. Lucky me, it was happened on the weekend and I had someone who happened to be around and help me. I was so afraid that it could happened to me any time, so I decided to buy a new battery. Maybe the cashier thinking I had enough money to waste and not worry about burning my money for unnecessary things. I paid: $144. 93 (tax included) I don't think this is acceptable for a 2 years old car and battery test came out normal, not weak. Hope this is not a major thing, but who knows.

I bought my car brand new at the end of 2013. On old morning and sporadically and cool mornings in the spring and fall there is a loud grinding sound under the hood. It looks like many people have this issue. I have taken it in 3 times now to a Honda dealer and every single time they are they can't replicate the issue and do not hear it themselves. They are unable to fix or repair it yet it seems to be such a common problem.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormal grinding noise during cold weather. In addition, the tire pressure warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.

My Cr-v is 18 months old and since last Dec. Has the grinding sound when first started. The tire pressure signal lights up on occasion but when tire pressure is checked no tire is low. Took car to dealer and they said it could be fixed while under warranty. Hope so, but after seeing other complaints not so sure. Bought this car based on friends recommendations and Honda's reputation. Wish I had known about this website prior to purchase!.

Car is only 13 months old and had a dead battery twice when nothing was left on. This is unacceptable because I spent $30,000 on this car and my loan is for 4 more years. Honda dealership says battery and charging system is fine. Not what I was expecting from Honda, car is not reliable at all. I'm scared to take it far because I will get stranded. This needs to be fixed.

It started about 1yr after getting this crv, upon cranking making a grinding noise I took to shop several times they did they couldn't find anything wrong, now here lately I've had to boost of my crv several times, do I took to shop to check battery which is fine, I don't have time nor money to keep going to shop to not have anything done. I desperatly am afraid to go anywhere other than work in fear it wont crank. It acts like it wanrs to turn over but doesn't then sometimes it cranks right up. I feel as though this is a lemon & Honda should have to do something for the ones that are going through this crap. I thought Honda was a reliable vehicle. I traded in nissian for this ughh.

After being in the off mode, the ignition battery power does not start engine with out a powerful battery boost. This has happened1t least 13 times with no warning sign. Vehicle has been taken to two dealerships and they declared nothing has been. Honda of CA said that they investigated and declared that no issue had been found. I have purchased a high power booster as an intermediary fix.

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.

During cold winter months there is a grinding noise for about 2 seconds when first starting the vehicle, even in garage. Taking to Honda dealer this week. Looking at all similar complaints online, I am not expecting much to be done. Seems Honda is aware of this problem on crvs but can't diagnose???????!!!!.

My elderly mother died in a fire in her 2014 Honda Cr-v. There were no witnesses to the origin of the fire. The car was first seen when fully engulfed by flame, 10 to 20 minutes after my mother was seen getting into her car. Unknown if she let it idle before driving. She drove about 1200 feet. Her car was found in wet ivy at the side of the road. Her key was in her hand, and she was leaning towards the passenger side of the car, apparently trying to escape the fire. (because the car was on a hill, leaning towards the passenger side, flames from beneath the car were strongest on the driver side and would have blocked her exit. The passenger side was not completely burned. ) it is improbable that the ivy ignited because it was late fall in the pacific northwest and the weather had been very wet for days. I believe that a fire ignited somewhere in the vehicle and this fire caused my mother to go off the road. An autopsy showed she died of smoke inhalation and burns. The car was in good condition with recent servicing. No signs of recent oil leakage in garage. We have located other 2012-2014 Cr-v fires that began spontaneously. Some blamed on leaves trapped in vehicle, another on fluid leaks, including two on safercar. Gov. (NHTSA nos. 10654938 and 10546273). I retain the vehicle. ## VIN passed ## Honda crv 2014 ##.

We bought the car in August 2014. Within 2 months of purchasing the vehicle, the light indicating that the tires needed air turned on. We had the wheels inflated and the light still remained on. We took it to the dealer and they did something to make the light indicating the tires needed to be inflated turn off. In about two months after that, the light turned on again. The vehicle was stationary and when we turned on the ignition, it happened again. This time we have ignored it. Since we do not have time to be taking it into the dealer, it remains on whenever we drive the vehicle. It is annoying and can be dangerous.

Tpms warning light appeared on dashboard. Stopped at Honda dealership. Tires were at correct pressure. We were shown where the button was on the dashboard to clear the tpms warning light. This has happened at least twice since the first incident. It was brought to the dealership the next time and we were told the tire pressure on all 4 tires was fine and they canceled the warning light on the dashboard. All of this at no cost to us. The third time it happened I canceled the warning light. The issue must be a engineering or design failure/problem otherwise why would they have a button on the dashboard so the driver could cancel the warning light? we feel we can't trust the warning light anymore and quite frankly wonder how safe the tires and vehicle is to drive.

First thing in the morning on cold days, sometimes a grinding sound occurs when starting the engine that lasts about a second. It doesn't happen every cold morning, but it happens fairly regularly on cold mornings. I see that many people have complained about this problem and Honda has not developed a solution. This problem needs to be fixed to ensure no damage is occurring to the engine.
