Vehicle grinds on cold startup, every single time. Vehicle also rattles on acceleration. Took it to mechanic and was told timing chain and vtc actuator needed to be replaced to the time of well over $2000. After research, I have seen that this is an ongoing issue with all 2014 Honda crvs but Honda has refused to take responsibility for this issue. This problem leads to engine failure and Honda is continuing to build these vehicles with defective parts. The technical service bulletin out does not take responsibility. I am asking that Honda establish a recall for the vtc actuator and timing chain to prevent resulting engine damage from these defective parts.
Crv was rattling for about a week. Started only in the morning in the cold and progressively got worse. We were supposed to take the car in to the mechanic the next day but as my wife was driving on the highway the car completely shut off. We had it towed to the mechanic and he said it's engine failure and had no oil. We had no oil light come on and we get routine oil changes. Called Honda to see if there was a recall and they said no and offered no help. Now I'm stuck with a worthless 5 yr old car that I still owe money on. There are so many complaints about this why hasn't a recall been issued? why is nobody investigating this????.
Variable timing control (vtc) actuator failed as described in Honda TSB 16-012. Informed by Honda dealer that failure would result in catastrophic engine failure if not repaired. Honda refused to cover repair.
Tl the contact owns a 2014 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The failure was first noticed during an oil change and there was hardly any oil in the oil pan. The vehicle was taken to kelly Honda (540 lynnway, lynn, MA 01905, (781) 484-0160) and they stated that the vehicle normally consumed that amount of oil. The contact had to take the vehicle back to the dealer three more times for the same failure after noticing the oil levels were low. The dealer performed an oil change and asked the contact to return after 1,000 miles. When the contact returned, the dealer checked the oil level and informed the contact that the levels were fine. The contact was not convinced and the dealer informed her to drive another 1,000 miles and bring the vehicle back. When the contact returned, the dealer stated that there was engine failure. The vehicle warranty did not cover the repairs; however, the contact could pay the dealer $1,500 for the repair. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 23,500. The VIN was unknown.
