The car was parked in a parking lot. We had trouble locking the doors with the key fob remote. We manually locked the car doors. When we returned to the car we were unable to open any of the car doors or trunk using the key fob remote. We tried the physical key in the drivers door and that also did not open. A aaa locksmith was able to open the car door.

Driver's side does not heat nor defrost driver's side window due to heater core problem. It's getting worse each winter. I now need to drive with a blanket! Also, extremely loud grinding noise upon cold start. Started about 8 months ago and is really concerning.

Heat on left side of vehicle does not blow out hot. This appears to be a common diagnosed problem with the 2012-2014 honda cr-v. Very disappointed in this issue and no recall. Expect more out of a honda with 65,000 miles! This is a big safety issue when the defroster will not defrost the window....

Vtc actuator: loud rattling noise upon cold start-up started at approx 75k miles. Car is stationary. Took car to dealership for regular maintenance and given a clean bill of health each time. In fact dealer told me it may have been my imagination because they could not duplicate the sound in shop. The extended warranty expires 2 months ago. Because the sound persisted and seems louder in fact, i left my cr-v at…

The drivers's side heating vents produce little to no heat. The passenger side heat vents function normally. It seems that there is some kind of blockage in the heater core where the heat should be originating from. This happens at all times, even after car is warmed up to normal operating temperature.

Low heat on driver's side of car compared to passenger side caused by clog in the heater core. I found many complaints online and it seems to be a known problem/defect. It causes significantly slower defrosting on the driver's side that decreases visibility if someone does not have over 30 minutes to let the car idle long enough to defrost in cold weather. Not only does it waste gas but it is now a fineable offense…

The bluetooth component has a horrible background noise. The person you're speaking with is unable to hear you. This totally defeats the purpose of hands free driving. This complaint has been reported numerous times and can be found with a basic google search. The dealership has even confirmed to me directly that this is an ongoing complaint and problem, which they don't have a solution to. They stated it is just…

Vehicle has 20,000 miles on it. With heater control set to full heat and engine hot driver side heater vents blow cold air even when passenger vents blow hot air. Results are poor heating and potentially dangerous ineffective defrosting of driver side windshield. Honda recognizes heater core flaw and recommends replacement as the solution. Not an isolated occurrence as many owners report identical problem on…

When using the heat; the driver side air vents have cool or cold air while the passenger side has hot air coming from the vents. This was discovered during the below zero temps. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was told the heater core is plugged which i found through research is a complaint among this particular vehicle 2012-2014 models.

Honda crv heat stopped working on driver side at 20000 miles. Took to dealership and they replaced heater core. The car now has 60000 miles and the same problem is happening again. Heater core needs to be replaced again. Did online research and several other people who own crv have had same problem. I live in minnesota and the weather today was -5 degrees. I was unable to heat car which causes safety concerns.

The car is a 2012 honda cr-v lx awd. The driver's side heat is significantly lower than the passenger side heat. This is a know issue, honda tsb 14-063, low driver's side heat. The low driver's side heat makes driving in the snow dangerous as there is not enough heat to adequately defrost the windshield. The driver's side windshield wiper will also start to ice up the passenger side is fine. I measured a 40 - 50…

It is well documented by honda that there is an issue with heater cores on these cars. Heater will eventually become plugged and not work. Heat is significantly cooler on drivers side vents than passenger side. My complaint is without heat to defrost windshield in winter conditions it will become a visibility issue due to not having the ability to defrost the windshield. And potentially cause a crash. Honda is very…

Heater core is clogged. Cool air flows out onto driver's side of cabin (legs and air vents) while hot air flows out onto passenger side of cabin. Dealer says the fix is to either replace heater core at a cost of approximately $1,000.00 to me or to have it flushed at a cost of $500.00 to me. The flush is not guaranteed to work. Reading online vehicle websites it appears this is a significant problem for 2012 honda…
