THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOW SPEED STALL. I'VE REPORTED TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CLAIM ITS A GEARING PROBLEM. WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP OR MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T ENGAGE IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN THAT YOU MAY BE IN HARMS WAY WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT OF THE SITUATION. I DID TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AFTER I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO RECALLS OR FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ.....UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS APPLIED, IT TOOK AT LEAST 10 SECONDS FOR A RESPONSE. HONDA STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN ECONOMY MODE. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER STATED IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ECONOMY MODE. UPDATED 10/28/15. *JB UPDATED 11/01/2017*CN

THE AWD ON THE 2014 HONDA CRV FAILS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW ZERO, THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THEN IS JUST A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. WE LIVE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE USA AND OFTEN DEAL WITH SNOW PACKED ROADS. WITHOUT THE AWD WORKING THIS LEADS TO DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION AND AT TIMES LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE IN 4 TIMES AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND AT THIS TIME HAS NOT OFFERED AND SOLUTION TO THE SITUATION, ONLY THAT THE TECH/ENGINEERS WILL LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. AT THIS TIME CAN NOT EVEN GET THE VEHICLE UP THE HILL OF OUR SNOW PACKED DRIVEWAY WITHOUT A TOW. *TR

I BOUGHT AT 2014 CRV END OF SEPT/OCT OF 2013. UPON THE FIRST SNOW FALL I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS. THE CAR WAS NOT GETTING ANY TRACTION, IT WAS SLIDING AROUND GOING DOWN HILLS AND UPON TRYING TO DRIVE UP HILLS IT WOULD STOP WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO GO UP. IT WOULD STOP AND WHEELS WOULD SPIN, THE REAR END SPUN TO THE SIDE AND I COULD NOT GET ANYWHERE. THE AMBER AWD LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED, COMBINATION OF BOTH SCENARIOS. I FINALLY GOT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN DEEMED DEFECTIVE (OVERHEATING ISSUE TO POINT OF ALMOST GLOWING AND FLUID OVERHEATED). THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS THAT IF THE CAR WAS PUT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR TO AID SLOWING DOWN ON A HILL, EVEN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CAR SPED UP GOING DOWN THE HILL IN FIRST GEAR TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH EVEN WITH THE BRAKE ON, WHICH WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ENGAGING AND NOT EVEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CAR BEHAVED THE SAME EVEN IF ON FLAT GROUND THAT HAD EVEN A DUSTING OF SNOW OR EVEN A LITTLE GRAVEL. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A COURTESY 2014 SAME YEAR AS MINE, IT DROVE MUCH BETTER AND MUCH SAFER THAN MINE PERFORMED AFTER THE FIRST 2 DAYS. I FEEL THE CAR HAS MORE ISSUES THAN JUST THE DIFFERENTIAL AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS THE LAST 1-2 WEEKS THE CAR HAS HAD NO CONTROL IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN DRY ROADS. IT HAS ALMOST WRECKED MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO THESE ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE IS 3.5 MONTHS OLD AND HAD UNDER 10,000 MILES ON IT AND ALL OF THIS HAS GONE WRONG SINCE THE BEGINNING. *TR
