OUT OF THE BLUE, MY HONDA CR-V 2014 WON'T START, I HAVE TO JUMP IT, AND WENT TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE, GOT MY BATTERY CHECK OUT AND EVERYTHING LEVEL OF THE BATTERY CAME BACK NORMAL. LUCKY ME, IT WAS HAPPENED ON THE WEEKEND AND I HAD SOMEONE WHO HAPPENED TO BE AROUND AND HELP ME. I WAS SO AFRAID THAT IT COULD HAPPENED TO ME ANY TIME, SO I DECIDED TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. MAYBE THE CASHIER THINKING I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO WASTE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT BURNING MY MONEY FOR UNNECESSARY THINGS. I PAID: $144.93 (TAX INCLUDED) I DON'T THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE FOR A 2 YEARS OLD CAR AND BATTERY TEST CAME OUT NORMAL, NOT WEAK. HOPE THIS IS NOT A MAJOR THING, BUT WHO KNOWS.

EVERY 14-15 DAYS, I AM HAVING TO GET A JUMP BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR "SHUDDERS" WHEN APPROACHING 20 MPH AND 40MPH.
Exterior lighting, Sep 21, 2016
THE LIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT GOOD. VERY HARD TO SEE WITH AT NIGHT USING DIMS AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. DON'T THINK THAT IT IS AN ADJUSTMENT OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, THINK IT IS A ENGINEERING PROBLEM IN THE DESIGN FOR THE WHOLE LIGHTING HOUSING AND USE OF BULBS. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE! MY OLDER 2003 CR-V WITH HAZED OVER COVERS DID A BETTER JOB THAN THIS NEWER VEHICLE BY 11 YEARS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT : THE TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINS ON WEATHER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR MOVING. THIS HAS BEEN RESET USING THE MANUAL, BY A TIRE CENTER AND ALSO BY A HONDA DEALER. AFTER THE HONDA SERVICE THE LIGHT REMAINED OFF FOR I DAY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO IGNORE IT ...REALLY THAT IS THE ANSWER!

TAKATA RECALL: I CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS IN SAN MARCOS AND SAN ANTONIO IN MARCH 2016. I WAS TOLD THEN, THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL AND NO LOANER CARS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE EFFECTED. WE WERE TOLD PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE EARLY SUMMER. NOW WE RECEIVE A LETTER THAT SAYS PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FALL. I AM A WORKING MOTHER OF TWO WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES TO DRIVE. SO MY CHILDREN AND I ARE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN THIS DEATH TRAP, WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THE ANXIETY IS CAUSES US IS GREAT AND WE HAVE LIMITED OUR TRAVELS THIS SUMMER, DUE TO FEARS OF SOMETHING HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!! WE NEED A LOANER VEHICLE, SO THAT MY FAMILY CAN BE SAFE UNTIL PARTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AT 9:25 AM. NONE OF THE TIRES WERE UNDER INFLATED. AFTER CHECKING THE TIRES I RESET THE DEVICE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS IS HAPPENED AND IT OCCURRED A FEW DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED INCLUDING ROTATING THE TIRES. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 70 MPH ON A CLOUDY DAY WITH TEMPERATURE AT 73

TPNS LIGHT IS ON PERMANENTLY EVEN THOUGH TIRES ARE INFLATED CORRECTLY NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN TYRES NEED INFLATING LIGHT ON WILL NOT ALLOW EMISSIONS TEST TO BE COMPLETED IN MA UNLESS ITS FIXED PASSENGER AIR BAG STAYS ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME ALSO IT MAKES A NOISE WHEN STARTED IN THE MORNING OR WHEN IDLE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT WORKING RIGHT.
Wheels, Jul 1, 2016
IN MOTION AND STATIONARY THE TIRE INFLATION LIGHT REMAINS ON UNLESS RESET. TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL TIRES IS THE SAME. THIS HAPPENED ONCE TWO WEEKS AGO. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE.
Electrical system, Jun 30, 2016
WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST 2014. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE TIRES NEEDED AIR TURNED ON. WE HAD THE WHEELS INFLATED AND THE LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID SOMETHING TO MAKE THE LIGHT INDICATING THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE INFLATED TURN OFF. IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT, THE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN WE TURNED ON THE IGNITION, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WE HAVE IGNORED IT. SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO BE TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER, IT REMAINS ON WHENEVER WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT IS ANNOYING AND CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Electrical system, Jun 24, 2016
SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (NEW) IT MAKES PERIODIC ELECTRICAL SHORTING NOISES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE (TURNING THE IGNITION KEY). THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, BUT MANY TIMES. OUR FAMILY IS AFRAID THE VEHICLE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO SHOCK OUR HANDS - THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 15K MILES ON IT BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE CAME FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN DESIGNATED BY DEALER TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIR BAGS BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS WILL BECOME AVALIABLE. DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE AS TO TYPICAL WAIT TIMES FOR SUCH REPLACEMENT?

INTERMITTENT CLICKING SOUND EMITS UNDER EITHER FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OR UNDER CENTER FRONT ARMREST WHILE DRIVING. THE CLICKING SOUNDS DURATION IS ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS WITH INTERMISSION OF SEVERAL SECONDS. THE SOUNDS REPEAT AFTER CHECKING PROPER SEAT'S ENGAGEMENT AND EMPTYING CENTER ARMREST COMPARTMENT OF ANY OBJECTS.

STARTER STICKS AND DOESN'T DISENGAGE FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER ENGINE TURNS AND STARTS. AS A RESULT, STARTER SOLENOID GEAR GRINDS AGAINST FLYWHEEL TEETH, CAUSING DAMAGES TO THE TEETH OF SOLENOID AND/OR FLYWHEEL. THIS MECHANICAL FAULT OCCURS EVERY TIME AFTER A VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR A DAY OR MORE. WEATHER (COLD OR HOT) DOESN'T AFFECT THE DEFECT.

ON A FLORIDA HWY AT ABOUT 60 MPH A SMALL TRUCK TRAVELING ON LANE TO RIGHT OF ME FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON ENTERED MY LANE. BY INSTINCT I YANKED THE STEERING TO THE LEFT ONLY TO REALIZE IMMEDIATELY THAT A VEHICLE AT THAT MOMENT WAS PASSING ME ON THE LEFT. AT THAT MOMENT THE SMALL TRUCK ON MY RIGHT REALIZED THAT HE WAS ENTERING MY LANE.AND RETURNED TO HIS LANE. AT THAT POINT I HAD MADE A QUICK MANEUVER TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT THEN LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AS IT MOVED IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER A FEW TIMES TO BOTH SIDES.I REGAINED CONTROL ONLY AFTER PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. A MIRACLE THAT I DID NOT HIT ANY ONE.I AM A RETIRED LONG DISTANCE BUS DRIVER.(OVER 50 YEARS) WITH AN ENVIABLE RECORD OF NO ACCIDENTS..

MY CR-V IS 18 MONTHS OLD AND SINCE LAST DEC. HAS THE GRINDING SOUND WHEN FIRST STARTED. THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGNAL LIGHTS UP ON OCCASION BUT WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED NO TIRE IS LOW. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. HOPE SO, BUT AFTER SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS NOT SO SURE. BOUGHT THIS CAR BASED ON FRIENDS RECOMMENDATIONS AND HONDA'S REPUTATION. WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WEBSITE PRIOR TO PURCHASE!
Electrical system, May 2, 2016
WE HAVE 4 INSTANCES WHERE WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO START THE CRV BECAUSE OF A LOW BATTERY PROBLEM. THIS NECESSITATED USING A JUMP STARTER TO START THE CAR. I HAVE MEASURED THE VOLTAGE WITH A MULTI METER AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE THE VOLTAGE WILL BE ABOUT 12.4 VOLTS AND THE NEXT MORNING IT WILL BE ABOUT 11.8. MY LOAD TESTER INDICATED A WEAK RATING. SO OBVIOUSLY IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. BOUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA SUBARU OF SANTA FE IN NM ON 4/20/16 AND DEALT WITH JAMES THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE SAID THAT THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE BATTERY OPERATED WITHIN SPECS. UPON ARRIVING HOME, 100 MILES AWAY, THE SAME SUB STANDARD CONDITION REOCCURRED. CONTACTING JAMES WITH MY SITUATION, JAMES SAID THAT BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS WITHIN SPECS HE WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. MAYBE 12.4 VOLTS IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN CAUSING A SURFACE CHARGE BUT IF IT DROPS TO 11.8 OVERNIGHT SOMETHING IS ASKEW. IF THEY HAD PERFORMED A LOAD TEST THAT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BEEN EVIDENT. WE NOW CARRY A JUMP STARTER WITH US BUT MY WIFE IS NOT ABLE TO USE IT WHICH I CONSIDER A SAFETY PROBLEM. JUDGING FROM ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ON THIS SITE, HONDA SHOULD BE MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE NEEDS OF ITS CUSTOMERS. AFTER READING THESE POSTS, MOST POTENTIAL BUYERS OF HONDA PRODUCTS WOULD HAVE SERIOUS RESERVATIONS. WE TRAVEL FULL TIME IN A MOTORHOME AND WILL NEED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP.
Fuel/propulsion system, May 2, 2016
THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT FUEL LINE LEAK. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO DEALER THEY ADVISED AN ANIMAL HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE FUEL LINE. THEY SEE THIS ISSUE REPEATEDLY. HONDA HAS COATED THE FUEL LINES WITH A SOY-BASED INSULATOR THAT ATTRACTS ANIMALS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.
