Our 2014 honda crv has been making a clattering noise at start up for the past several months. Apparently there is a well know defect with the vtc accurator and yet honda hasn't alerted consumers to this defect or issued a recall. I am writing you to alert you or to add to other complaints you have received regarding this issue. If they don't notify consumers, then the warranty period can go by and then the consumer…

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.

Starter sticks and doesn't disengage for a few seconds after engine turns and starts. As a result, starter solenoid gear grinds against flywheel teeth, causing damages to the teeth of solenoid and/or flywheel. This mechanical fault occurs every time after a vehicle is parked for a day or more. Weather (cold or hot) doesn't affect the defect.
