Known & very documented issue with cold start vtc actuator. Engine noise at every cold start. If all these similar complaints are reviewed. . . . Why hasn't this lead to an investigation / recall ?.
Chronic engine light from defective timing chain. Noise (rattling) from timing chain area. The timing chain started making noise @ 80k. Check engine light started to illuminate in early October with code p0341. Cel illuminate on start up. After clearing code vehicle driving the rest of day without cel re illuminating to next morning. I took it to the shop (see attached) where the technician removed the timing cover exposing failed parts. After brief internet search I found numerous complaints of this same nature requiring timing chain and related parts having to be replaced on 2013 and 2014 Honda Cr-v mileage as 58,000 (see attached). Attached is a statement from the master certified technician how preformed the repairs. I also have retained all parts replaced. When the cel light illuminate the tire pressure light,stability control light,and electric steering light also illuminated(see attached).
The car is hesitance during acceleration, the car vibrates while driving, more noticed during highway driving. His started Aug 20,2018, wen I start the car, the engine makes noise shakes during a cold start. Have been told nothing is wrong. Began having problems in late 2016 thru March 2018. This happens during cold temperatures.
Engine has a cold start rattle, Honda says it is the vtc actuator. Honda has changed it once and it still makes the noise. Honda says that are working on a fix, but it looks like they have working on it since 2012.
Grinding/sqeeking engine noise during initial startup on mostly cold days.
