2014 crv had 'rattle' noise during cold start about a year ago, took it to the honda dealer and they said there was nothing wrong. Now at 59974 miles and 3 months passed 5 year warranty, the dash warning lights going off and timing chain has to be replaced. Had to spent $2000 to fix it.

Driving at low speed (20-40mph) the car will flutter/shimmy. This is a known issue with honda america as they have two service bulletins regarding the issue. There are multiple online forums with cr-v owners having the same exact problem with low and high mileage. The dealership performed the first "fix" according to the honda service bulletin and it was ok for about 2 weeks and now it's back, worse than ever. The…

Oil usage is extremely high with no visible leaks, and engine is dry. I am at the point of my oil needing to be changed, and my oil was nearly empty. I have put in 3 qt's in the last 3 weeks. Also, i live in nys, and on cooler days to freezing days, there is a loud grinding rattle that happens when i start my car. I had a 2010 that did the same thing.

My vehicle was stalled in the early morning of july 17, 2019 in a parking lot and towed to a honda dealership nearby. The mechanic's diagnosis was that the vehicle stall was caused by the shortage of all fuses in the primary fuse box due to leaking oil from the timing chain cover of the engine. The mechanic mentioned that the oil leak occurred for a while so it shorted out the fuses through the incased electrical…

The car vibrated during acceleration at 25 and 32mph. The honda of san marcos,tx dealer updated the software and that fixed the problem. Since many 2014 honda crvs have this problem, this should be a recall. Honda should reimburse me the $365.15 that they charged me to fix the transmission vibration.

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…

Vibration during slow acceleration at speed 20-45 rpm. Back off acceleration then it will go a way. Symptom start to show up 65,000 miles

Car shakes, jerks, and "judders" between 20 and 40mph under light acceleration. This was diagnosed by a honda dealership as being the issue addressed in honda technical service bulletin 15-086, but they will only fix it at their cost if you are still under warranty. Fixing, according to honda requires replacing the torque converter, updating the pcm, and replacing the transmission fluid. That's a pretty expensive…

In august 2018 i brought vehicle to privately owned shop that i trust to research a noise coming from the engine bay when starting the vehicle. Mechanic found through inspection/research that timing chain likely needed to be replaced ($1000 job) on 2014 cr-v's. At that time my vehicle was less than 5 years old with less than 60,000 miles, so it was within the power train warrantee period (5yrs/60kmi). The mechanic…

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.

My 2014 honda crv with 75,000 miles is in need of a drive shaft. I cannot find a recall on this. Honda is doing nothing about it. My mechanic was informed that there has been trouble with this part on other 2014 models.as a matter of fact the part was backordered! It seems absurd to me that this should happen in 75,000 miles. Can you help me? As you know this will cost me between $2500.00-$3000.00!!! Of course i…

Car hesitates and then may surge on acceleration, especially from full stop, rolling stop, or low speed, as in highway merging. I suspect the transmission. It is intermittent, at least several times/week from 2014-2017. Honda won't address it because they say they can't replicate it.

When i make a sharp turn usually to the left, the car doesn't go when i accelerate. I have to back off of the gas pedal then accelerate again, which causes an unsafe situation. I have taken it back to the dealer 3 times and they say they can't duplicate the problem even though it happens frequently with me. The car is stationary when i want to accelerate like at a light where i am turning left.

There is a loud grinding noise lasting approximately 2 seconds at cold startup. This has happened about 6 times in the last 6 months. My vehicle has only 22700 miles. I'm concerned this is causing damage to the engine.

First drive of the day the transmission is ragged. Earlier 2014 crv had recall. Mine did not. I had software updated and transmission fluid changed as recommended for earlier versions. Problem went away. Honda should recall the later 2014's as well.

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.
