    The heater core in my 2012 honda crv failed. Honda knows the heater cores are defective and issued technical service bulletin 14-063 for 2012, 2013, and 2014 crvs. Honda has not issued a recall. The defective heater cores cause the defroster/heater to emit cold air only. Should the heater core fail during a snow or ice storm it would lead to snow or ice buildup on the windshield. This would severely compromise…

    The vehicle makes a loud noise on startup that lasts for 2 or 3 seconds. It usually happens after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours.

    The defroster on the driver's side emits air that is much cooler (sometimes cold) than the air on the passenger side. The ability to keep the windshield clear is greatly hampered during changing weather conditions. Honda tsb 14-063 attempts to address the problem, but it is not effective and places an unnecessary cost on the consumer.

    My cr-v presents itself with a loud grinding noise at start, caused by a defective,vtc actuator which is referenced in honda service bulletin 09-010. This problem began in 2008, and is on going. This defect seriously affects resale value, and potentially can cause catastrophic engine failure. This repair should be covered by honda's 60k power train warranty, but honda says at the current time there is no fix for…

    I was in my 2012 honda crv pulling into a parking spot to park when i experienced unintended acceleration. The car would not stop even after hitting the brakes hard but rather sped up causing me to hit the side mirror of a parked car. Finally i turned to avoid another collision and was able to slow the car down that way.

    We have a problem with noise when starting in cold weather. There is a hesitation sometimes when driving like not getting fuel.

    I purchased my 2012 crv in april 2012 brand new and since the winter of 2013 i started noticing crackling/rattling noise when the temperature drops. I contacted curry honda and was given the run around. Finally in november 2014 when the temperatures started dropping again i wasn't taking no for an answer. I brought it in i was told the noise had to be duplicated in order to figure out what the problem was. Needless…

    The heater in this car blows cold air and it is nearly impossible to warm up during long commutes even when the fan and heat adjustments are on high. It has not improved during the past three months of cold weather and it doesn't do any good to purchase an awd vehicle when the heat doesn't even work.

    This problem has occurred now a total of about six times. The first time was in the spring or summer of 2014, when my car was slightly more than two years old. Generally speaking, what happens is this. When the car is idling or at low speed (in a traffic jam once, slowing for a red light, idling in a driveway, etc.), three engine lights come on. The car then bucks at low speeds and has very little power when…
