I BOUGHT MY NEW 2014 HONDA CRV DIRECT FROM DEALER. AFTER THREE DAYS I BROUGHT BACK THE CRV BECAUSE THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WENT ON. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER.. THEY RESET THE GUIDE. OK FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THEN IT WENT BACK ON AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A FIX... THAT WAS BACK IN DECEMBER!!! THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2014!!! I ASKED THE SERVICE MAN TO WRITE THAT DOWN FOR ME, SO I HAVE IT ON RECORD. AS OF TODAY, JANUARY 30TH, MY LIGHT REMAINS ON. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, THAT I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WAS STUCK ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT...BECAUSE I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIRE LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD!!!!!!! I WANT THIS FIXED! I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A SAFE RELIABLE CAR ..HONDA HAS A GOOD REPUTATION, ... SOMEONE DROPPED THE BALL, AND THE AMERICAN CONSUMER IS PAYING THE PRICE!!! PLS... PLS FIX THIS PROBLEM. MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A TERRIBLE THING, BUT I DIDN'T PAY $30,000 FOR A SLIGHT MISTAKE. *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

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR IS CONSTANTLY APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 1,000 MILES AND THE DASHBOARD TPMS HAS COME ON OVER A DOZEN TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TIRES CHECKED FIVE TIMES AND THE PRESSURE IS FINE. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TPMS SYSTEM. I HAVE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A CASE MANAGER THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND THE ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON A SOFTWARE FIX. NO TIME FOR THIS FIX HAS BEEN ADVERTISED. IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING TO BE DRIVING WITH THIS LIGHT ON AND NOT KNOWING WHETHER IT'S A TRUE TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE. I HOPE THAT THIS IS RESOLVED QUICKLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WAS CAUSING THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE RECURRINGLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO MADE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE TPMS BUT DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

ACCELERATING UP TO TRAVEL SPEED ON A HIGHWAY THE WHEELS START SHIMMING WE COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. TALKING TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THEY WHERE AWARE OF THIS AND THAT SNOW & ICE CAN PACK INTO THE RIMS CAUSING THE WHEELS TO BE UNBALANCED. I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT THINK ITS SAFE FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY TO CLEAN THE WHEELS. *TR

2014 HONDA CRV WAS DELIVERED WITH 233 MILES ON ODOMETER. WITHIN 6 MILES OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) LIGHT HAD COME ON INDICATING ONE OR MORE OF THE TIRES WAS LOW ON AIR. OUR SALESPERSON HAD ALREADY WARNED US ABOUT THIS DURING THE WALK THROUGH AT THE DEALERSHIP TELLING US THERE IS NO NEED FOR US TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MORE THAN LIKELY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BEING AN INFORMED CONSUMER WE WERE ALREADY AWARE THAT HONDA HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR TPM SYSTEM ON THE 2014 MODEL. IT SIMPLE DOES NOT WORK. IT CRIES WOLF AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED. AFTER RESETTING THE LIGHT IT WILL CONTINUALLY RETURN AND HAVE TO BE RESET WITHIN 50 MILES OR LESS OF IN TOWN DRIVING. ALTERNATELY WE RESET IT BEFORE A 240 MILES ROUND TRIP HWY DRIVE AND THE TPM LIGHT DID NOT COME ON DURING THE ENTIRE HWY TRIP. THE PURPOSE OF THE GOVERNMENT MANDATING TPM IN ALL NEW CARS WAS TWO FOLD. FIRST FOR FUEL ECONOMY, SECOND FOR SAFETY. SINCE THE TPM LIGHT PROVIDES FALSE ALARMS EVERY WEEK, IT DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH EITHER GOAL. WE HAVE HAD NO FORMAL RESPONSE FROM HONDA ACKNOWLEDGING THERE IS A PROBLEM OR THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX. THERE IS A FORUM WITH 200 POSTS ON THE 2014 PROBLEMS AT THIS DIRECT ADDRESS: HTTP://WWW.CRVOWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUMS/14-PROBLEMS-ISSUES/27802-2014-TPM-PROBLEMS.HTML. *TR

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO CHECKED TIRES AND DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM. DEALER RESET/RECALIBRATED TPMS BY PRESSING BUTTON. DROVE CAR FOR ANOTHER 300 MILES AND TPMS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. PERSONALLY CHECKED PRESSURE IN ALL TIRES WITH A MANUAL TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE. ALL FOUR TIRE PRESSURES WERE WITHIN SPEC AT 33 PSI. I RESET/RECALIBRATED THE TPMS BY PRESSING BUTTON. READ ON THE INTERNET THAT OTHER 2014 HONDA CR-V OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE TPMS WARNING CAN NOT BE RELIED ON BECAUSE IT GIVES FALSE INDICATIONS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TPMS ON THE 2014 HONDA CR-V IS AN INDIRECT SYSTEM. THERE ARE NO ACTUAL PRESSURE SENSORS. IT USES THE WHEEL SPEED/ROTATION SENSORS TO DETERMINE WHEN THERE IS A TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER INDICATES A PROBLEM BASED ON DIFFERENT SPEEDS/ROTATION OF THE WHEELS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE SENSORS ARE THE PROBLEM OR IF IT IS THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE AS WARNING LIGHT STAYS LIT CONSTANTLY. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY UPON DRIVE HOME FROM DEALER WITH BRAND NEW CAR. NO ADJUSTMENTS OR RE-SETTING WILL PREVENT LIGHT FROM GOING ON. RETURNED TO DEALER TWICE (DCH HONDA OLD BRIDGE NJ) TO NO AVAIL. NOTIFIED BY SERVICE MANAGER--[XXX] THAT HONDA ENGINEERING WAS CONTACTED BUT THEY HAD NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA WAS CONTACTED BUT WAS ALSO OF NO HELP. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WHO IS NOW DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. CAN YOU HELP?

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CAUSES VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES BACK TO THE CENTER. THE RAIN WAS MILD TO MODERATE AND THE WIPER PUSHED THE WATER TO THE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, AS EXPECTED, THEN AT IT RETURNED TO THE CENTER, IT PULLED WATER BACK OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD SO THAT I COULD NOT SEE. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THE WIPER SYSTEM? *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA CRV 2014 MODEL ON 10/04/2013. ON 10/24/2013, I WORE FLIP FLOPS WHILE GOING TO PICK UP MY SON FROM THE SCHOOL, WHICH IS 5 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. MY LEG GOT STUCK AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY LEG FROM GAS PEDAL TO APPLY BRAKES, AS I ENTERED THE SCHOOL PREMISES. CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AS MY FLIP FLOP GOT STUCK IN THE GROOVE BETWEEN PLASTIC AND METAL TRIM NEXT TO THE GAS PEDAL. I SWERVE OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I THINK THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE WAY THE TRIM IS DESIGNED IN HONDA CRV 2014 MODELS. IF SOMEONE WEARING A FLIP FLOP?S WHILE DRIVING, IT CAN GET STUCK IN THE TRIM AND CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS. I DIDN?T SEE THIS ISSUE IN OLDER MODEL YEARS OF CRV. MY FAMILY IS TRAUMATIZED BY THE ACCIDENT AND VERY SCARED TO SIT OR TRAVEL IN THE CAR. I WAS FORTUNATE TO COME OUT OF IT WITHOUT ANY MAJOR INJURIES BUT THIS MAY NOT BE THE CASE FOR OTHERS. *TR
