I know about the oil refineries that are burning ? but I am too far to have this happen on my auto? I took it to the dealer an told me that is what it is ? but I have had a lot of damage from thief's here where I live! the drug heads need to go over the wall I need to sees if it is the car????.

41 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2019

The a/c compressor pulley bearing seal is broken/busted and is grinding causing a burning smell. The idler pulley bearing seal is broken/busted and is squealing. All the routine maintenance is up to date. This automobile is only 3 years old and already having problems with the basic engine components. Is this a rare case for this make and model or is it that Honda is no longer considered to be a reliable automobile?.

42 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2019

Car shakes, jerks, and "judders" between 20 and 40mph under light acceleration. This was diagnosed by a Honda dealership as being the issue addressed in Honda technical service bulletin 15-086, but they will only fix it at their cost if you are still under warranty. Fixing, according to Honda requires replacing the torque converter, updating the pcm, and replacing the transmission fluid. That's a pretty expensive bill for it being their software issue in the first place. Car also make a loud grinding noise on cold starts. Was informed this was an issue with the vtc actuator, but there was no fix for it.

43 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2019

The driver side heat vent blows out cold air in my 2014 Honda crv. This is a known issue to Honda and they have not done a recall. This cold air causes the windows to not defrost and, therefore, difficult to see in certain weather conditions. I have had the heater core flushed once and the issue came back within 15,000 miles. It is a recurring issue that should be recalled as it is unsafe driving with frosted windows due to no heat.

44 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2019

The heater core in my 2014 Honda crv is not working properly. Heat blows hot on passenger side, but cold on driver's side. Mechanic says heater core clogged due to sand casting left in block when manufactured or antifreeze causing corrosion. This is a known Honda problem and should be a recall. Back flushing and chemically cleaning heater core did not resolve problem.

45 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2019

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

46 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2019

No heat drivers side.

47 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2018

Heater blows warm air on passenger and cold air on driver. Heater coil is plugged.

48 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2018

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.

49 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2018

When heater is on, cold air comes out of drivers side vents and hot air out of the passenger side vents. It sounds like a problem with the heater core.

50 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2018

April 26, 2018 I bought my wife's Honda 2014 Cr-v new in October of 2014. We are both quite happy with the car, with one significant exception. The tpms does not work. In 2014 Honda changed their tpms from the conventional system which uses pressure sensors in the wheels. Instead, it compares the revolutions of the tires on the theory that a low tire will rotate faster than a normally inflated tire. This is a good idea in theory. However, in practice it does not work. The software must account for the fact that the tires do not rotate equally on turns. Also, slight (and accceptable) differences in pressure or tire wear will result in errors that the software must deal with. Honda issued TSB 14-006 in an attempt to remedy the problem, but if it has been applied to our car it has not worked. The tpms light on our Cr-v is unreliable. It occasionally lights when the tires are ok, but has failed to indicate low or flat tires for us several times. My wife went to the dealer in prescott, az, this morning to ask whether TSB 14�006 has been applied to the car. The reply was that there is no recall and if the tpms light does not stay on, there is no need to do it. We can live with a non-functional tpms system. Our previous cars worked well without it. Our normal maintenance procedures require checking tire pressures periodically. For some reason this car does not pull to the side when a tire goes flat. A tpms should flag a tire failure when on the road. Three times we have had a tire fail while driving, with no tpms indication. Our loss has been only three tires; no accident resulted. In my opinion this is potentially a serious safety problem.

51 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2018

The original battery of my Honda crv keeps dying. Local Honda dealer did not cover the replacement and I have to pay $200 out of my pocket to replace. Its been only 3 years since I purchased the car and the battery is already draining out. I have been stranded in unsafe places as a result, waiting for roadside assistance to come jumpstart the car. When I took it to the local Honda dealer (dublin Honda), they said the battery is faulty and its not covered under warranty and I have to pay out of pocket to replace it. I ended up paying $200 for replacement of battery and all the inconvenience of getting stranded at unsafe, unsecure places with my family in the car.

52 Equipment problem

2014 Honda Cr-v, lx do not have floor vent working on passenger side. This was just noticed in a very cold weather and had to have elderly passenger to transport. So far there was no other rider in this vehicle because we had the other vehicle for such use. The driver side floor vent was blowing burning hot air, while it is freezing cold on passenger side floor area.

54 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2017

I would like to file a complaint for Honda's vtc actuator. My Honda crv 2014 was purchased brand new September 2014. At 50,000 miles the vehicle started to make a rattling/grinding noise when started in the cold. I was assured by the dealership that this was nothing to worry about. I have now found out that there is a known defect from the vtc actuator that all Honda crv's from this year encountered the same issue because of the defect from Honda. As a consumer who purchased a new vehicle, Honda should have replaced/fixed this issue on any vehicle that is having this problem since it is a defect. I still have yet to fix it and would hope that a recall should be made since they are aware of the faulty part that has been installed in brand new vehicles.

55 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2017

Tire pressure monitoring constantly goes on when tires are good.

56 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2017

Hatch switch/handle does not work when the weather becomes colder. I have seen this issue in many forums and it affects even current models. When it warms up outside then it works again. This sure seems like a design defect which Honda should address via a tb and recall to fix.

57 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2017

My 2014 Honda Cr-v has no heat on the driver side. This has been an issue for over a year now. I am told it is not covered under warranty. The front defrost does not work on the driver side, which makes it unsafe to drive. Warm air blows out of the passenger side and cold air blows out of the driver side. I've been told it is a clogged heater core caused by the fluid Honda uses.

58 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2017

My 2014 crv has excessive vibration when I am in drive but idling. It does not happen in park or neutral. Only when in drive or reverse and stopped. It is excessive. My stealing wheel vibrates, cups. . . Pens. . It comes through my seat and it kind of makes me sick. I have taken this to Honda several times. I have had motor mounts and transmission mounts replaced. I have had a compressor replaced. None of this has stopped the excessive vibration. This issue only happens when the car has been running for at least 15 minutes. This has been going on for years, with no solution.

59 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2017

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.

60 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2017

When thew heater is activated, the drivers side does not heat. This is a known issue per TSB# 14-063, atb 00239-01113 rev1 (1411). This complaint is all over the net and the dealer will not touch it. . . Unless I pay a high price to repair a poorly engineered heater core.

61 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2017

Car hesitates and then may surge on acceleration, especially from full stop, rolling stop, or low speed, as in highway merging. I suspect the transmission. It is intermittent, at least several times/week from 2014-2017. Honda won't address it because they say they can't replicate it.

62 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2017

Air is getting into the passenger side probably through defective window seal. May be door glass separation from regulator. Has been this way for three years. Honda won't deal with it.

63 Equipment problem

Car has a loud rattle or grinding sound on a cold startup. Last a couple of seconds then goes away. Has done this for 3 years, since I got it.

64 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2017

Tire pressure warning light comes on when pressure is fine and/or comes back on after recalibration and correct pressure in tires in confirmed. Has done this for 3 years, intermittently. Honda won't deal with the problem because they can't replicate it.

65 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2017

Within the last 5 to 6 months, my vehicle keeps cutting off. I would need to get someone to jump me. The battery was checked and the starter and alternator. A new stater was put in on last Friday and Sunday it did the exact same thing. I needed a jump but it would only jump after sitting for an hour or so. My vehicle is now in the shop again due to the same issues. I'm a widow and I dont know much about cars but I know this problem shouldn't be happening so frequently.

66 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2017

This present day my car makes a sreaming noise like belt is bad they changed the belt the alternator and something else and they can not find the problem. I asked for a 2017 when I came in to buy a vehicle the dealer insisted on me getting this 2014 when I asked multipul times for a 2017 he said this is a good deal. The first day I got it 6/16/2017 the vibartion was bad I had to bring it back 6/17/2107 they had it 4 days. I picked it up and on the same day the lights were dimming. Sat moorning I reported the issue. 3pm I got in the vehicle to change my shift at work it would not start. The man who came to tow it could not start it on arivial. Mon 6/22/2017 I came in and demanded a new car like I requested when I came in because this vehicle was having to many problems for me to be paying $25,643. The dealer wanted to give me 1,000 less than I paid for it and charge me $32,300 for a Honda crv lx 4wd thats marked 27,285 online. I refused to pay that and felt like I am being cheated. He said the problem could be minor let them fix it. I am paying $25,643 for this car and its been in the shop 3xs within 2 months. They want me to keep this car and I keep requesting a 2017 because thats what I came in for and the dealer sat back in his chair and keap telling me the 2014 Honda exl is a good deal and did not show me the 2017 he wanted me to get the 2014 Honda crv exl when I wanted a 2017 lx special adition 4wd. I admit it is a nice vehicle but it has too many problems and I want my money back and get the 2017 lx crv I requested and I want a different deal thats not going to cheat me out of my money. South hills was honest they was giving me 2017 for 400 amonth at $27,285 when my credit came up and at the time it did it was fair.

67 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2017

On the morning of July 25th, 2017, I observed a problem with the rear window in my 2014 Honda crv . Unlocking and opening the driver's door to put something in and then closing the door, I heard a loud crunching noise coming from the rear of the car. The driver's door was opened again and I got into the car and shut the door. Again the same crunching noise was heard. Looking in the rear-view mirror, I observed the rear window had shattered into a "million" pieces. The noise that was heard was the pieces of glass dropping out of the window. In addition to the glass in the middle of the window that was dropping out, I observed the edges around the glass were also missing (had fallen out). I am the only driver of the car and do not remember anything hitting the window from the outside or inside. All the doors had been locked so it does not appear to be attempted burglary. It is presumed that the glass shattered and imploded due to defective glass manufacturing and/or installation. The temperatures in our area can reach 100 during the day and down to 65 during the night.

68 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2017

I have owned 2014 Cr-v for 3 & half years since it was new. The indirect tpms warning system has never been correct, it always gives false readings. When I picked up a nail in one tire, the warning light never came on even though the tire pressure dropped by over 50%. When the warning light does come on, I check all tires and they are all fine - every time. After multiple frustrating trips to dealer, the best they could do was a software update. Now instead of false warnings 3 -4 times a month, now I get false warnings 3 - 4 times a year. But the warnings are always false! like the little boy that keeps crying wolf, this system is counter productive in that owners will begin to ignore the warning system altogether.

69 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2017

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.

70 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2017

At the speed of 25 - 30 miles per hour, the entire vehicle begins to shake and shimmy. I am the second owner of the vehicle. The shaking was so bad last week I was really scared! I looked up the description on google and wow!z there are sooooo many other people having the same problems! they said it was a program issue for the transmission in this vehicle! however, when people take the vehicle in for the program upgrade; and get the transmission fluid drained and replaced, the problem quickly returns!!!!!!!! so. . . . . How do I get this vehicle fixed! I am frightened to drive it!!!!!! I bought the car through hendrick Toyota on rivers Ave in north charleston, SC. They took the Honda crv vehicle in as a trade for a Toyota. So, what do I do with this dud!!! it is a bad seed as for a car. Who is going to make good on the bad part called a transmission? it has been doing this for several months beginning soon after I made the purchase!.
