Vehicle stationary. Variable timing chain actuator (vtc actuator) started to grind upon engine starts at 90k. Had the vtc replaced for $700 and within a year it failed again causing the same grinding noise upon engine starts. Dealer then replaced the timing chain and tensioners for $1200 saying that was the issue causing the noise. Next morning the car is making the same grinding noise. Took back to dealer but apparently they cannot reproduce the sound. Video recorded the sound to send them. Honda is aware of the issue: TSB 16-012 I purchased the car new in 2013 and have only had the vehicle serviced at Honda. I spent over $2000 trying to have this fixed at the dealer and the issue is not resolved. I want to sell this vehicle but can't allow someone else to buy a defective car.

The crv exhibits a loud rattle from the valve cover. The noise comes on everytime the ac compressor kicks on. Dealer replaced vtc actuator with no results. Then dealer replaced auto belt tensioner with no results. Noise is loud and turns peoples heads as I back up or take off. Ive read many similar stories from other crv owners. Dealers unable to fix this problem.
Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Honda crv. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the vehicle make a loud sound. No warning light illuminate during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer: zimbrick Honda 1601 w beltline hwy, madison, WI 53713 who diagnosis the vehicle as a failed timing chain tensioner. The vehicle was repaired. The failure occurred again after repairs. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact to wait for parts. The failure mileage was 31,000. Hk.
I want to ask you to investigate a problem that has Honda with the vtc actuator (variable temporal control) which lead to a rattle noise when start in cool weather and most of the mechanics know about it. The vehicle was stationary and present the fail when started in cold conditions. On their dealer own words: the vtc is worn out causing the rattle sound and chain is stretched. The tensioner crack seal needs to be changed. All of their answers make me think is a manufacturing problem because they knew about it and that Honda should make a recall. The cost was thousand and six hundred dollars (1,600). They needed to open the engine and the noise didn't go away even after the repairs and the car is now accelerated a little too much. I really appreciate your time and your response either way is investigated or not. Cesar vela.
