2014 Honda CR-V owner complaints

My car "check engine" light came on and went to the dealership for service. I was told the car need an updated pgmfi. I was told a lot of crv's are incurring the same error indicators. But because my car is out of warranty I ended up paying for the pgmfi update. I do not agree, but paid the bill. This should be a recall.

My vehicle makes a terrible sound under the hood upon starting when it is cold. I researched it online and discovered it is the vtc actuator valve (most likely). Took it to dealership, let it overnight so they would hear it after setting. They claim no noise upon starting it. I am concerned at some point engine parts are being damaged. The noise began within 2 months of ownership. Went to another Honda dealer, they said "Honda probably does know about this but there is no repair/recall order issued so they won't repair it. Car was purchased new.

Rattling noise for 1 or 2 seconds when starting the vehicle at temperatures around 35 degrees f.

As the temperatures drop, my car makes a horrible grinding noise as though something is seizing in the engine whenever I start the car when the engine is cold. The noise only lasts a few seconds, after which the car runs perfectly fine. The problem tends to occur whenever I start the car after it has been sitting unused for hours in cold weather. This appears to be a common issue with hondas and should be addressed by the manufacturer.

After recently purchasing a used 2014 Honda cr-v, noticed a 2 second rattle at cold start-up. Doing research, this issue mirrors a vtc actuator problem known by american Honda (tsb 16-012).

The 2014 CRV has developed a problem with no heat out of vents on driver side or driver side defroster, though passenger side heat/defroster works. I found a service bulletin online A14-063, and had local Honda dealership diagnose problem and then perform a flush of the heater core. This did not solve the problem and if there was any improvement it was extremely minimal. This issue is clearly a known problem or there would not be a service bulletin. However, even after that service bulletin procedure my vehicle continues to have the same problem. This lack of heat on the driver side and lack of heat through driver side defroster poses a safety issue when the windshield won't properly clear in winter driving. Honda should offer a recall on the heater core for these vehicles with lack

High pitch noise while driving. Drive shaft had to be replaced.

Purchased new 2014 Honda cr-v on 12/19/14. During the purchase the sales person was specifically asked about the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) problem, which per the NHTSA complaint process has existed in the Honda 2014 cr-v models since september 2013. The sales person was not aware of any problems. Asked the sales person to verify the manufacture date of the vehicle to be purchased and was told it was september 2014. The next day (12/20/14) while driving the vehicle the TPMS light came on. The vehicle had been driven some 25 miles (the odometer read 115 miles when purchased). Tire pressure was checked and found to be 30 PSI per specifications. Reset the tmps following owner manual instructions. Called the dealership and scheduled an appointment for 12/22/14. A software

Accelerating up to travel speed on a highway the wheels start shimming we could not control the car. Talking to the dealer who said that they where aware of this and that snow & ice can pack into the rims causing the wheels to be unbalanced. I am 70 years old and do not think its safe for me to get out of the car on the highway to clean the wheels. *tr

When on a curvy road the car sometimes makes loud noises thumping noises and the pansanger floor vibrates violently like the car is going to fall a part. Car is only 13 months old and I bought it brand new. It has 45k miles now but problem started at 30k miles. The dealer could not replicate the problem and denied that their was a problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the steering wheel violently vibrated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,500.

Car is only 13 months old and had a dead battery twice when nothing was left on. This is unacceptable because I spent $30,000 on this car and my loan is for 4 more years. Honda dealership says battery and charging system is fine. Not what I was expecting from Honda, car is not reliable at all. I'm scared to take it far because I will get stranded. This needs to be fixed.

2014 Honda crv was delivered with 233 miles on odometer. Within 6 miles of leaving the dealership the tire pressure monitoring (tpm) light had come on indicating one or more of the tires was low on air. Our salesperson had already warned us about this during the walk through at the dealership telling us there is no need for us to pull over because more than likely there is no problem. Being an informed consumer we were already aware that Honda has a serious problem with their tpm system on the 2014 model. It simple does not work. It cries wolf and can not be trusted. After resetting the light it will continually return and have to be reset within 50 miles or less of in town driving. Alternately we reset it before a 240 miles round trip hwy drive and the tpm light did not come on during the

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light came on while driving on freeway. Took car to dealer who checked tires and did not find a problem. Dealer reset/recalibrated TPMS by pressing button. Drove car for another 300 miles and TPMS warning light came on again. Personally checked pressure in all tires with a manual tire pressure gauge. All four tire pressures were within spec at 33 PSI. I reset/recalibrated the TPMS by pressing button. Read on the internet that other 2014 Honda cr-v owners are having the same problem. Honda does not have a fix for this problem. The TPMS warning can not be relied on because it gives false indications. I understand that the TPMS on the 2014 Honda cr-v is an indirect system. There are no actual pressure sensors. It uses the wheel speed/rotat

Summer 2016, driving at highway speed, the closed sunroof "exploded", violently shaking the car. Upon inspection, the remaining glass was bowed outward, and the closed sun shade had no damage. There was also no nearby overpass, or much traffic - in other-words, so evidence that a rock or other projectile broke the sunroof from the outside going inwards

The front windshield wiper drags water across the windshield on the drivers side during the return swipe from the side of the windshield back to center, obstructing my view when driving. The harder it rains, the worse the obstruction is. I've taken video with my phone and given it to the dealer. They changed out the wiper blade in case that was the problem, but it continues. It is very bad during heavier rains and when driving at faster speeds. It seems to be worse at driving speeds over 40 miles per hour. It happens going straight and on turns. It started when the car was brand new, but I just learned about this site while following up on a recall notice I recently received in the mail.

I own a 2014 Honda CR-V. Since around November 2022 I have repeatedly experienced an intermittent “bounce” or shudder when accelerating, especially around 20–25 mph and sometimes at higher speeds (around 45 mph and above). The vehicle feels like it briefly loses power or slips before catching again, and the check-engine light has come on and off during this period. I took the vehicle to Stockton Honda (CA) multiple times and consistently reported this bounce/shudder on take-off. Each time, the focus was on brakes, rotors, tires, or other maintenance items. I was never told there might be an engine or timing-chain issue or that the vehicle could be unsafe to drive. The bounce/shudder never went away. I have also been involved in multiple low-speed collisions while taking off from a stop in

For over a year now, my Honda CRV 2014 has been producing a rattling noise from the engine on every cold startup. This happens regardless of the temperature outside. When I initially heard it, it was sporadic, again, on cold startup - so the rattling didn't occur every time. Over time though, it will occur every morning, or after the car has been sittinwith the engine off for at least a few hours. I asked a mechanic to look at it after a few months after I had first heard it, because it continued to happen, even periodically. As it only happened on cold startup, I could not reproduce it for the mechanic - he could not find any obvious issue. After a few more months, I recorded the issue on video (and audio). The same mechanic said it may be the VTC actuator. I had another mechani

Lights that indicate that the bags are always off. Apparently airbags don't work

I got into a head on collision and the passenger side seat belt came off of the frame, so if not for the air bag the passenger would have gone right into the window.
