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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

HEATER BLOWS WARM AIR ON PASSENGER AND COLD AIR ON DRIVER. HEATER COIL IS PLUGGED

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.

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.

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.
Other or unspecified, Oct 13, 2018
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.

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.

IT STARTED ABOUT 1YR AFTER GETTING THIS CRV, UPON CRANKING MAKING A GRINDING NOISE I TOOK TO SHOP SEVERAL TIMES THEY DID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NOW HERE LATELY I'VE HAD TO BOOST OF MY CRV SEVERAL TIMES, DO I TOOK TO SHOP TO CHECK BATTERY WHICH IS FINE, I DON'T HAVE TIME NOR MONEY TO KEEP GOING TO SHOP TO NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE. I DESPERATLY AM AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN WORK IN FEAR IT WONT CRANK. IT ACTS LIKE IT WANRS TO TURN OVER BUT DOESN'T THEN SOMETIMES IT CRANKS RIGHT UP. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A LEMON & HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE ONES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THIS CRAP. I THOUGHT HONDA WAS A RELIABLE VEHICLE. I TRADED IN NISSIAN FOR THIS UGHH

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.

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.

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.
