general problems of the 2014 Honda CR-V - part 2

Driving home from work on the freeway during a bad storm the defroster was blowing cold air on the windshield and it completely iced over. I could not see. Not to mention-- I was freezing cold. The passenger side was blowing heat, however all vents on the driver side were blowing cold air. I took my car to a Honda dealer. Without even looking at it, they seemed to know exactly what was wrong and told me it was $330 to repair. I took it to an independent mechanic who charged me $172 to flush out the heater core. The mechanic also told me it would probably happen again.

Engine lost power and seized while traveling on rural route. Local mechanic said gasoline had leaked into engine and had it towed to urse Honda in bridgeport, wv. Urse estimated $9,000 in repairs.

My vehicle is experiencing the known issue of vtc rattle at startup.

Bad grinding noise on cold start. Defective actuator. This can damage engine. Crv only has 58,000 miles. Honda has known about this for years and needs to issue a recall. Class action law suits have been filed in California & illinois. Technical service bulletin 16-012.

A vtc actuator rattles and is damaging the timing chain that will fail and cause catastrophic engine failure on road that can cause life threatening event.

2014 crv had 'rattle' noise during cold start about a year ago, took it to the Honda dealer and they said there was nothing wrong. Now at 59974 miles and 3 months passed 5 year warranty, the dash warning lights going off and timing chain has to be replaced. Had to spent $2000 to fix it.

My car "check engine" light came on and went to the dealership for service. I was told the car need an updated pgmfi. I was told a lot of crv's are incurring the same error indicators. But because my car is out of warranty I ended up paying for the pgmfi update. I do not agree, but paid the bill. This should be a recall.

After recently purchasing a used 2014 Honda Cr-v, noticed a 2 second rattle at cold start-up. Doing research, this issue mirrors a vtc actuator problem known by american Honda (TSB 16-012).

While parking on the second level of a parking garage, the car suddenly lunged forward and jumped the stop and crashed into the wall of the garage. My foot was on the break but when I lifted it off, the engine revved up without my foot on the gas. This has done this before and I have reported it to Honda but they did nothing to correct it.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Honda Cr-v. While the vehicle was in the park position, the gear was placed into drive and the vehicle began to rev up approximately four times. The contact placed the vehicle back into the park position and turned off the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to antrim way Honda (located at 200 s antrim way, greencastle, PA 17225, 877-870-8241), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,948.

Rattle from engine every startup. Louder and longer when cold. Timing chain? this problem has been ongoing since cpo purchase. It's getting louder and I'm afraid it will destroy my engine, before Honda admits to a defective part and does a recall.

After my car has sat for 5-6 hours or longer, at start up my engine grinds for 1-2 seconds. Reading similar problems online they say it is a faulty vtc actuator that Honda knows about but refuses to fix or recall. Is there plans to recall this faulty part before my car fails and breaks down on the side of the road? this noise has happened every day for the last year or so.

The engine had been having an oil consumption issue. I was back and forth with Honda who kept pushing me around. Filed complaints there as well. The first I was ever notified there was a problem is when I brought my car in for service and was told the oil was barely present. Was notified by the mechanic this is a known issue that should be reported. I reported and nothing was really done. They would bring me in for an oil change, I would come back and they would somehow "forget" to document I returned. Was told not to add oil and my car stalled and I crashed into a parking lot with my child in the back seat on a busy street. Nothing was done to help me with the issue. I brought in every single oil change I had ever had on the vehicle and I was told I was not doing the routine maintenance even though I had proof. This is a huge concern for safety as me or my child could have been injured and Honda did nothing to help or even attempt to help with the concern.

Vibration during slow acceleration at speed 20-45 rpm. Back off acceleration then it will go a way. Symptom start to show up 65,000 miles.

When car reaches 60-70 mph, it shudders like it is trying to change gear. Periodic.

Vtc actuator makes grinding sound upon cold start and reduces engine power. Has been doing it since the car had 22200 miles and had it repair and the same thing started 4 months after repair. Seems to be an ongoing problem with 2013 and 2014 crvs.

There is a know problem with grinding at cold startup this should be a manufacturer defective part recall https://youtu. Be/kr20baoxbo8.

I'm having the infamous vtc actuator grinding on start-up that Honda has detailed in service bulletin #16-012. I've contacted Honda repeatedly about the issue but they refuse to give me any information about it.

A d v e r t I s e m e n t s with on 34,022 miles, when the heat and fan/blower is on, cold air comes from the driver side vents while warm/hot air blows from the passenger side vents. Research indicates a clog in the heater core. A technical service bulletin exists for the problem attached. This issue is a manufacturing defect from either: 1) sand left in the coolant passages after the casting of the engine block and or 2) Honda's coolant containing sediment and or 3) Honda's coolant causing wear to surfaces it comes in contact with. The windshield freezes up when trying to defrost it and a safety issue in winter. Honda needs to cover this repair- please advise, thank you.

Engine rattles for 2 to 3 seconds on starting the car after a long period (around 8 hours). Contacted Honda, and they want the customer to cover majority of the cost. Honda says the issue is only a nuisance and will not cause engine damage, but will not give this in writing.

Vtc actuator needs to be replaced at 86,000 miles. Took to dealer cost will be $1000. 00 not covered under any recalls although there have been several complaints and repairs for this particular year, make and model.

Bought the car from Honda dealership in August of 2018. Second I drove it off the lot vehicle started to have a vibration from the front end of the car. I brought it back 4 days later because of the vibration and burning smell when I pressed on the brakes. I had to get a new axel replaced on the car. After I had to return car again a week later for the exact same vibrations. Yet since then the car still shakes, after bringing it to numerous mechanics the car still shakes. I just brought it back again to the dealership to see again why exactly it is still shaking. I had to get a new differentia for the rear of the vehicle, and that didn't work. I returned it again a week later for fluid and transmission fluid to see if that will work and still persists to shake.

Vtc failed July 2018. Honda stated I must pay for the repair costing $662. According to Honda receipt the r5a new vtc was installed. Now it's January 2024 and car vtc failing again. Note: when I changed the valve cover gasket I looked at the vtc and noticed that it says r44. Basically they lied about the repair and put another of the defective vtc. Obviously a much more expensive repair this time due to Honda negligence and dishonesty.

Entering a parking space at a local cvs the car self accelerated to a very high speed. The car charged forward . The brakes could not stop the car until it slammed into 2 parked cars on the other side of the store entrance. Also, the safety bags did not open. The car was like a raging bull. The car went over 1 parking block crossing over the front of the store ,over another block before stopping. . The accelerator went berserk without any foot on the gas pedal. I am unable to scan any reports electronially.

Engine sputters when going into 2nd gear.

Vtc actuator is faulty. Just over 65000 miles.

I purchased my used certified 2014 Honda Cr-v ex-l 11/2016 and the car seemed to running smooth and very quite. I took it in for the first service call the car didn't run the same, I even when back a few days after the car was serviced. Since the if I make a sudden stop the car stops and I finally hear the transmission catching up and this cause the car to jerk back in the sitting position. If I am going about to go through my drive thru Mini market and I have to wait on another car and then proceed the transmission acts as if it doesn't want to move and it finally jumps into gear which allows the car to move forward. This is my 5th purchase with Honda, 1988 hatch back civic, 1990 Honda accord, Honda civic, 2003 Honda element and now 2014 Honda Cr-v ex-l. In the last two weeks I have found if I am sitting and hit the gas the car excels really fast and it scares me. I have read a few reviews about the same issues with how the car excels really fast.

The driver side vents blow cold air when the heat is on. The passenger side vents blow hot air. The heater core was clogged by mineral build up.

On cold start, the engine grinds for about 2 seconds. I bought the vehicle new and this has happened periodically since. Dealer service shop usually cannot replicate it because it only happens on cold start after sitting overnight. Finally got them to replicate the noise in January 2016 and diagnosed as a vtc actuator problem. Apparently a very well known problem and "they fix these all the time, known issue". A week later the noise started again and now the dealer can't replicate again. I only have 10 months left on my warranty and they say they won't replace it again because they can't replicate it. If it's a known issue, this needs to be recalled and fixed again ASAP. Worried about the longevity of the engine, given this has been going on since day one.

Vtc actuator grinds on start up . . Recurring on first start up. . . I see dozens of people complaining about this why not a recall.

Honda crv 2014 noice in the engine when I'm driving the car and is annoying very bad . Night light is not working correctly the light is not bright an accident can happen ac a gas smell is coming from inside the ac.

At cold start-up, the engine rattles loudly for about 2 seconds. This only occurs on the first start of the day. I would like to note dot Honda service bulletin sb-10041669-6712 has not been updated since October 6,2012 and therefor only covers Honda Cr-v's up until 2012. This issue is easily found on Honda forums such as Hondaproblems. Com and multiple times here: https://Honda-tech. Com/forums/Honda-element-cr-v-156/2014-cr-v-grinding-noise-start-up-3228595/ 5 years for a service bulletin update is simply irresponsible problem management on Honda's behalf. The supporting evidence is readily available from many Cr-v owners on forums, not to mention the large amount of complaints directly on the NHTSA website. Correct this issue and take action.

Car had brief noise at cold start up x5 this led to dashboard lights investigating the information through other complaints. Took into Honda the vtc actuator and timing chain had failed this was repaired at Honda - no recall notice to me - found several public notices and bulletins to support the issue.

I was parking in a parking space behind a parked car in front of my car. I applied the brakes, and my car lunged forward with a tremendous acceleration and hit the parked car in front of me. At least, almost $5,000 in damage was done.

There is a rattling noise coming from the engine area at extreme cold startups since I had the car at 24,000 miles on it. When having the car parked with the emergency brake on at an incline and after leaving it ther for a few days, after I press the release on the brake after starting the car, the emergency brake sticks and the car won't move forward when accelerating or backward when releasing the brakes or accelerating. I have to repeatedly press and release the emergency brake to allow the car to release the brake from the wheel for the car to move forward. There is repeatedly a build up of rust on the rear wheels when the car is exposed to humid and wet conditions due to some flaw in the design, and it causes the car the have a loud thumping noise when applying the breaks . I have had to get the rear brakes refinished or shaved down to smooth them out repeatedly.
