My 2014 crv has 83,131 miles and I am a careful driver and like to keep my vehicle in top shape. The service done was replaced outer tie rod ends that were cracked and I could have lost control , replaced front lower control arms, replaced front struts, replaced rear sway bar bushings, reseal coolant passage housing , head gaskets, my vehicle could have quit in traffic. The top of my crv has paint faded and gone to a white powder look. There are things that a car with low miles driven carefully and taken very good car of should not be happening. There should be recalls because there are issues with timing chains and fuel system. I am scared to drive it anymore. I won't stay loyal to Honda now and I am very disappointed that they know these issues and haven't attempted to fix them.

Engine code p1009 vtc valve replacement no know place will replace due to zero tolerant engine and timing not in tune due too much damage by the pistons and valves.
Purchased our 2014 Cr-v 02-26-2020, used one owner, 55301 mileage. Very little driving the next three years due to the pandemic. Summer of 2023 we were driving from buffalo to rochester on the thruway , first 30 miles, severe hesitation, amber lights on, until reaching 70mph. Hesitation stopped but lights stayed on. By August the tpms indicator, malfunction indicator lamp and other lights came on, again. We reset according to the manual, but this was just the beginning of this process happening over and over again. During dealer testing code po 341 came up. Had it tested at another place before taking it to west herr Honda and was told needed timing chain replacement with vtc. This was done at a cost of $2232. 06 with car mileage of 63159. We were sad and disappointed. Research shows that Honda is very much aware of over 500 plus recorded problems with the 2014 Cr-v not to mention unreported problems. The model should be recalled before lives are lost. Car still hesitates but evidently due to a different problem.
Rattles and shakes between 25 and 40 mph, bad actuator will cause timing failure. It only has 71,000 miles. Honda is well aware of this defect in this vehicle. When will they be held accountable to fix this issue? at 33k I was definitely taken for a ride! no engine warning light either!.
On 2/21/24 as we were exiting a hospital parking garage and I slowed down to stop at exit where road is, the engine suddenly had an uncontrolled acceleration. Difficult to stop but I pressed hard on brakes (which alone did not stop vehicle)and immediately put gearbox in neutral, stopping vehicle before it made it on the street. After that, no more incidents on 2/21 or 2/22. . Should be noted I had total of 3 such incidents in past 4-5 months, this was the third. One occurred as getting out a store parking lot, slowing down at street interface and suddenly engine acceleration, used same technique as above. Another was at end of our street coming to a stop at interface to another street, same occurrence. In each of the occurrences I can verify that it was neither a car mat issue (it is anchored in car) not an accidental stepping o accelerator. . Have not contacted dealer or Honda as I note neither has ever found an answer to similar occurrences with others. For now drive carefully and one hand on shift lever most of the time when coming to a stop as occurrences appear to be far apart.
Loud grinding noise when starting a cold engine. Honda dealer replicated noise and stated that it was the vtc actuator-which needed to be replaced along with the cam chain for a total of $1,392. 23 before the florida 7% sales tax of $97. 46 totaling$1,489. 69. Other manufacturing years for Honda received a recall notice. I believe that my 2014 Honda Cr-v should be included in that recall so that the dealer may reimburse me for this acknowledged defect in the Honda engine.
Oil dilution (gas mixing with oil) caused engine to overheat, making my car abruptly breakdown on a busy interstate and we were nearly rear ended because of it. Now I need a full engine replacement. Car is low mileage.
The car makes a very loud grinding sound when starting. A metal on metal sound. This was fixed in October 2021 when vehicle had 77,500 miles for about $800. Dealership stated not covered by any recall or warranty. Service agreement states replaced vtc actuator with vcg set. Now, June 2023, the car is making the exact same noise. Many Honda owners are writing about this issue. Honda corporation not taking any ownership for this issue. The "fix" is not a fix. Honda is being complacent. Owners are paying for this every 18-24 months. This needs to be addresssed by the company and not having owners pay over and over again to temporarily fix this issue.
Upon cold start, the vtc actuator makes a grinding noise. It also makes the noise when car not driven for 5 hours or more. It lasts about 1 to 2 seconds upon releasing ignition key at start. No check engine light or dash warning lights come on. Concerned about timing chain damage. The car only has 33,385 miles on it. Research on web, indicates multiple reports of same issue.
The engine has rattled noises when starting, I look online and a lot of people have the same problem, they said the vtc actuator’s problem, even after they changed it, the noise is back 1-2 years. Honda needs to recall and replace this part for Honda’s customers.
Vtc actuator making grinding noise on cold start up and after sitting for long periods of time even after running. Timing chain is stretched making warning lights come on and go off.
When starting the engine, it makes a grinding noise each time. No check engine or safety lights have come on and when the engine is cold it will shake very badly upon take off.
Between every oil change I have to add oil, there are no visible leaks but it always uses oil and the low oil light will come on.
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.
Yo compre este carr9 desde el principle salio con problems ellos no quieren arreglarlo ni devolverme los 5 mil dollars que di DE deposito.
Current mileage = 51k I started to hear rattle sound when start up the engine when the mileage is around 20k. Brought to dealer where I bought new from them and was told they couldn't hear anything. No fixed or repair since then. Now, the rattle noise sound is much louder. On the web site forum there are too many people experienced the same thing I got. This problem should have been a recall for Honda. I jut got a quote said to replace the vtc actuator and chain timing belt ~$2000 plus. But again several people in the forum did the repair and the problem came back after 1 year. Should this problem be a recall for Honda to take responsible the defect they created. . Read more...
The vtc (variable timing chain) actuator is faulty. It cause premature wear on the vehicle’s engine. I had mine replaced at 148,648 miles and it is now needing a replacement again at 162,560 miles. When performing a cold start on the vehicle, user will hear a 2-3 second grinding noise coming from the engine. When I had to replace the actuator the first time, the wear was so bad on my engine, it also meant I had to get a new timing chain as too much stress had been put on mine and the chain began to stretch.
When starting the car (cold), the motor would start and then continue trying and made a grinding noise for about 2 seconds. Once the car was hot and off for less than 5 min, it would start normally. After 5 min off, it would make the noise again. This would happen by either using manually the key, or the remote starter. Went to the dealer and they said they needed to replace the vtc actuator and ended up spending little over $1k to repair it. Looking online and in this site, I've found multiple complaints for this issue starting in 2015 for this model. There are also vtc actuator known issues for Honda models between 2008 and 2012, so it is not something new for them. This should require a recall as it is a manufacturer's issue involving the engine, which could potentially escalate to something more serious and dangerous. Thanks,.
At cold start-up, the engine rattles loudly for about two seconds. .
Vtc actuator making rattling noise during start up in the morning and every five hours of sitting.
For over a year now, my Honda crv 2014 has been producing a rattling noise from the engine on every cold startup. This happens regardless of the temperature outside. When I initially heard it, it was sporadic, again, on cold startup - so the rattling didn't occur every time. Over time though, it will occur every morning, or after the car has been sittinwith the engine off for at least a few hours. I asked a mechanic to look at it after a few months after I had first heard it, because it continued to happen, even periodically. As it only happened on cold startup, I could not reproduce it for the mechanic - he could not find any obvious issue. After a few more months, I recorded the issue on video (and audio). The same mechanic said it may be the vtc actuator. I had another mechanic look at the same video, and he said it was almost certainly the vtc actuator. He said Honda had recalled the vehicle because of the vtc actuator issue and sent me a link to a webpage with the information. It turns out it was only a technical bulletin rather than a recall. I called a Honda dealership and provided them information about the issue. They asked for my VIN and told me there was no recall after searching my VIN. After some discussion with them, wherein I referenced the technical bulletin and inquired if Honda would provide a replacement for the known issue, the representative said since it wasn't recalled, they could only diagnose and repair at full cost. After I continued to press the issue, she asked if I wanted the telephone number for Honda corporate, so I could send them my complaint. I have no yet taken my car in for repair, as the cost will be very expensive. I don't understand why Honda has not recalled the vehicles over this issue, given the fact that it is an issue they have admitted to, and it apparently is a potentially dangerous and life-threatening issue.
Pulling into a parking space, when hitting my brakes, the engine suddenly accelerated and no, I was not pushing both the gas pedal and brake at the same time. In doing a web search, I found many instances of other crv owners having the same issue. . . Sudden acceleration when braking.
Upon cold start-up, loud noise comes @ initial start for a second or two when turning the key. The car then starts up and the noise goes away. It won't happen after the car is initially started. It will occur again when the car sits for a couple of hours. My mechanic said that it's somewhere in one of the cylinders.
Vtc actuator is faulty and Honda will not replace and now I'm being told that I need a new timing chain also from the vtc actuator not functioning properly. A timing chain that should last the life of the engine has failed at 90k miles. Why don't you make Honda issue a recall instead of sticking the owners with large expensive repair bills when Honda has issued a service bulletin that the actuator is flawed. This is out of their service bulletin 16-012. . . . . "the variable valve timing control (vtc) actuator is defective. Corrective action replace the vtc actuator. ".
Cold start: cvt actuator problems.
Vtc actuator timing valve rattles at cold start on highway when going over 50-65mph engine rattles very hard and vehicle shakes to point have to pull over. Looked all over online and thousands of customers have same issue even lawsuits. Took to middletown NY Honda and they say out of warranty and nothing they can do but pay $1500to replace a known faulty part that once replaced could happen again or cause catstrostapic engine damage. Please make a recall.
Vtc actuator rattles upon start up frequently.
We were driving and we heard a loud bang, we pulled to the side of the road , when we looked all oil was coming out of engine and transmition. Both engine and transmition are broken. No road hazard according to Honda dealer/ mechanic. Also air conditioning failed last year, without warning. The car was in motion. We were driving in the highway, no previous notice of any problem. The cruise control was on.
We are having repeat problems with the vtc actuator. This was replaced in 2018 under warranty but has since recurred. Our car is now at the dealer with a diagnostic of timing chain, vtc actuator, and cam gear for a cost of 2100 dollars. It is no longer under warranty and the cost is being passed on to us. This complaint is all over the internet and it is a Honda defect. Please work to support consumers and issue a recall promptly. Honda needs to fix this issue. We also, like many other, burn through oil. It’s amazing how everyone is reporting the same issues in cold starts. (rattles).
Vtc actuator is needing constant replacing ASAP or it will stretch the timing chain which will cause severe engine damage. I am on my 2nd replacement of the vtc actuator in 2 weeks. No major damage has occurred as yet but I am trying to prevent it from happening. The Honda fix is not a fix.
Windshield defroster does not work when first starting vehicle and when car idling. Dangerous because no visibility in cold conditions. Also, no heat on driver's side. Honda released service bulletin 14-063 so they know about this issue but have done nothing to repair. I just paid the dealer $618 to have the heater core flushed 3 times but there is no guarantee that the issue will not return. Very dangerous if driving in cold, icy conditions with low visibility and relying on defroster to function.
Timing chain rattle upon cold start 67,000 miles, this seem to be a common occurrence with these vehicles and you nor Honda is doing anything about it!.
