COMPASS WOULD NOT CALIBRATE OR WORK. INITIALLY, DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS A CELL PHONE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS CORRUPTING THE COMPASS OPERATION! TESTS AND REMOVING CELL PHONE CONNECTION TO CAR PROVED IT WAS NOT THE SOURCE OF PROBLEM. PAID DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC BUT THEY DID NOT REPAIR OR RESOLVE PROBLEM. REPORTED ISSUE TO HONDA CORPORATION. EVENTUALLY, WE HAD TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE NEW COMPASS SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED.

BENT CAR JACK . MY VEHICLE JACK CAR BENDS. I INJURED MY FINGERS IT WAS A SAFETY VIOLATION ON THE PART OF HONDA. SHAME ON HONDA!

I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SKATE BETWEEN 25-30 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, HOPING IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY $140 FOR THEM TO JUST CHECK MY VEHICLE. THEN THEY CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND HONDA HAD CREATED AN UPDATE, WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO RECEIVE. THAT THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE TO FLUSH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AS PART OF THIS, AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE $499 WITH LABOR AND TAXES. I THEN ALSO WENT AHEAD AND HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND MY BRAKE FLUID SINCE IT WAS RECOMMENDED. TOTAL BILL WAS $703. I THEN CAME HOME AND STARTED LOOKING UP AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE/HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MOST WEREN'T CHARGED BY THEIR DEALER FOR THE UPDATE AND FLUID CHANGE, WHICH SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. BUT I WAS. AND I HAVE THE SILVER WARRANTY UNDER FIDELITY. AND IT AFFECTED MY POWER TRAIN, BUT THEY CO WIDER IT A SOFTWARE ISSUE, NOT MECHANICAL, SO THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. HONDA SHOULD NOT CHARGE FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH WAS CLEARLY AFFECTING ENOUGH PEOPLE TO CAUSE THEM TO HAVE AN UPDATE AVAILABLE. BUT WHY CHARGE FOR IT? IT'S A MALFUNCTION IN THEIR SOFTWARE WHICH AFFECTED THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL AND PROVIDED THIS FOR FREE.

HAVE DRIVEN A SMOOTH 2002 CRV SINCE NEW. IN 2018 BOUGHT 2014 CRV - FRONT END SHIMMIES OFTEN. SOME TIME VERY VIOLENT - CAN FEEL SHAKE ONTO GAS PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL.SEEMS TOO SENSITIVE TO ANY SMALL (HARD TO SEE) BUMPS ON ROAD. TOOK TO PEARSON PREOWNED (RICHMOND, VA) A MAJOR AUTO SELLER. THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. HAVE SEARCHED YOUTUBE AND FOUND SOME CLAIMS THAT THE SUPPORTS FOR THE RADIATOR CAN CAUSE THIS WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. MY SHAKING DOES NOT OCCUR AT ANY STOP LIGHTS. I DESCRIBE THE SHAKING - LIKE A KID DRIBBLING A BASKETBALL. AND NOT 1-3 BOUNCES, BUT A LOT MORE (PROBABLY CLOSER TO 18). HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE DOWN A STREET, OR WHEN ACCELERATING. SCARY - ESPECIALLY WHEN IN MULTIPLE LANE TRAFFIC AND SURROUNDED BY OTHER AUTOS. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE PURCHASE IN MARCH, 2018. HAS PASSED INSPECTION WITHOUT ANY ISSUES..

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE. IT IS NOW GETTING WORSE. FROM THE DESCRIPTION SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON IN THE 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR. I BELIEVE THE PART HONDA HAS USED IS DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN EARLIER VERSIONS OF THE CR-V AND ACCORD.

ENGINE RATTLES FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS ON STARTING THE CAR AFTER A LONG PERIOD (AROUND 8 HOURS). CONTACTED HONDA, AND THEY WANT THE CUSTOMER TO COVER MAJORITY OF THE COST. HONDA SAYS THE ISSUE IS ONLY A NUISANCE AND WILL NOT CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE, BUT WILL NOT GIVE THIS IN WRITING.

THE HEATER-DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK IN THE WINTER. THE WINDSHIELD STARTS TO FROST OVER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED OR DRIVING SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 31,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND ON THE HONDA FORUM THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR OF CR-V. MANY COMPLAINTS HAD LESS MILEAGE THAN MY CR-V. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT RECALL THIS VEHICLE. NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!!

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?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE FAILURE WAS FIRST NOTICED DURING AN OIL CHANGE AND THERE WAS HARDLY ANY OIL IN THE OIL PAN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KELLY HONDA (540 LYNNWAY, LYNN, MA 01905, (781) 484-0160) AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NORMALLY CONSUMED THAT AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THREE MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE AFTER NOTICING THE OIL LEVELS WERE LOW. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THE CONTACT TO RETURN AFTER 1,000 MILES. WHEN THE CONTACT RETURNED, THE DEALER CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE LEVELS WERE FINE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CONVINCED AND THE DEALER INFORMED HER TO DRIVE ANOTHER 1,000 MILES AND BRING THE VEHICLE BACK. WHEN THE CONTACT RETURNED, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIRS; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT COULD PAY THE DEALER $1,500 FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,500. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

CRV WAS RATTLING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. STARTED ONLY IN THE MORNING IN THE COLD AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY BUT AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT'S ENGINE FAILURE AND HAD NO OIL. WE HAD NO OIL LIGHT COME ON AND WE GET ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO AND OFFERED NO HELP. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A WORTHLESS 5 YR OLD CAR THAT I STILL OWE MONEY ON. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? WHY IS NOBODY INVESTIGATING THIS????
