2014 HONDA CR-V Power Train Problems

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 the past few years, and I am concerned that this hesitation/loss of power may have contributed. In late 2025, Honda of Elk Grove performed a full diagnostic, retrieved a P031 code, and told me the most likely cause is a timing-chain problem. I was advised that the vehicle is not recommended to be driven until the timing chain is replaced because the engine could be severely damaged or fail while driving. The technician refused to take the car on the freeway due to safety concerns. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware that a possible timing-chain defect or failure in 2014 Honda CR-V vehicles can present as a bounce/shudder at low speeds during acceleration, with potential loss of power and increased risk of rear-end collisions, and that this condition may be missed or misdiagnosed by dealers for an extended period.

Purchased our 2014 CR-V [XXX], used one owner, 55301 mileage. Very little driving the next three years due to the pandemic. Summer of 2023 we were driving from Buffalo to [XXX] , first 30 miles, severe hesitation, amber lights on, until reaching 70mph. Hesitation stopped but lights stayed on. By August the TPMS indicator, malfunction indicator lamp and other lights came on, again. We reset according to the manual, but this was just the beginning of this process happening over and over again. During dealer testing Code PO 341 came up. Had it tested at another place before taking it to West Herr Honda and was told needed Timing chain replacement with VTC. This was done at a cost of $2232.06 with car mileage of 63159. We were sad and disappointed. Research shows that Honda is very much aware of over 500 plus recorded problems with the 2014 CR-V not to mention unreported problems. The model should be recalled before lives are lost. Car still hesitates but evidently due to a different problem.

There is a known issue with 2014 Honda CRV torque converters. My car has always had a funky shift which Honda told me it was just the new CVT transmission. Then back in August my mother drive my car and said that was not correct. I took it to Honda and they said it was the torque converter. It is causing my vehicle to become undrivable with out feeling safe. It judders, shakes and doesn't shift properly. I contacted Honda and they acknowledge that it is a known issue with their CVT transmission. They currently have 1200 orders for torque converters on back order that shows you how much of an issue that this is.

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 mechanic look at the same video, and he said it was almost certainly the VTC actuator. He said Honda had recalled the vehicle because of the VTC actuator issue and sent me a link to a webpage with the information. It turns out it was only a technical bulletin rather than a recall. I called a Honda dealership and provided them information about the issue. They asked for my VIN and told me there was no recall after searching my VIN. After some discussion with them, wherein I referenced the technical bulletin and inquired if Honda would provide a replacement for the known issue, the representative said since it wasn't recalled, they could only diagnose and repair at full cost. After I continued to press the issue, she asked if I wanted the telephone number for Honda corporate, so I could send them my complaint. I have no yet taken my car in for repair, as the cost will be very expensive. I don't understand why Honda has not recalled the vehicles over this issue, given the fact that it is an issue they have admitted to, and it apparently is a potentially dangerous and life-threatening issue.

Known Honda issue- tsb a15-086 Software update and trans fluid change in 2018 due to car juddering with light acceleration, did not fix problem. 10/20/23 car was road tested and concern was present. Needs new torque converter to fix original concern

Transmission shudders at speeds between 20-30 mph.

At around 70,000 miles vehicle started to shudder when accelerating lightly between 20-35MPH. The problem would occur intermittently. This has been getting steadily worse with age and milage. At present the vehicle has 85,000 miles and the shuddering occurs to some degree with each take-off from standing start between 20-40MPH. I changed the transmission fluid with the OEM manufacturer's type, and the problem recurred after a few months. I have not received a recall notice from the manufacturer, or returned the car to the dealer for service.

Drive train is malfunctioning. Safety risk unknown. Vehicle subject to "juddering." Honda Technical Service Bulletin 10-086 dated May 25, 2017 (superseding HSB 15-086 dated August 18, 2016) Entitled "Vibration While Driving Under Light Acceleration" presumably issued to dealers. Dealers were advised to update A/T software "at the customer's request." Also, transmission fluid to be replaced. I have an appointment with Ide Honda on June 26, 2023 for an assessment of juddering problem. There is no indication in the service records that the A/T software update was ever performed. However, the subject vehicle was sold to the previous owner as a "Honda Certified Pre-Owned" automobile. No warning lamps are showing.

There is a rattling noise coming from the engine area at extreme cold startups since I had the car at 24,000 miles on it. When having the car parked with the emergency brake on at an incline and after leaving it ther for a few days, after I press the release on the brake after starting the car, the emergency brake sticks and the car won't move forward when accelerating or backward when releasing the brakes or accelerating. I have to repeatedly press and release the emergency brake to allow the car to release the brake from the wheel for the car to move forward. There is repeatedly a build up of rust on the rear wheels when the car is exposed to humid and wet conditions due to some flaw in the design, and it causes the car the have a loud thumping noise when applying the breaks . I have had to get the rear brakes refinished or shaved down to smooth them out repeatedly.

The contact’s son owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started shaking abnormally. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while accelerating from first to second gear at approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle would shudder. The contact stated that the shuddering diminished while the vehicle was accelerating. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

Mileage: 64,000

The automatic transmission in the car causes the vehicle to shake and vibrate when accelerating. The faster the acceleration, the more violent the shaking.The problem seems to be when the car shifts from 3rd gear into the next higher gear(s). There is a significant, sometimes violent, shaking of the entire vehicle when shifting. The effect is that there is no confidence that the vehicle will shift according to the driver's expectations. This creates a situation where the driver can easily become distracted from nearby traffic situations, and easily cause a potentially dangerous consequence. Base on the history of Honda CRVs from 2012-2013 and earlier, this has been a common issue with Honda automatic transmissions in the past. This happens without prior warning (i.e. dashboard warning lights, messages, etc.)

Torque converter issues / shuddering when going from 2nd to 3rd gear

My Honda has had the front axle replaced twice and now the Honda Dealership is stating it needs to be replaced a third time. The Passenger side also had to have the knuckle or whatever replaced where the tire extends. I mostly drive my child to school and myself to work and or highway driving. I have own cars since I was 16, am now quite past that year and have never had to have the front axle replaced three (3) times?? Driving is very difficult but there is nothing I can do about it - the cost each time is close to 2K. Thanks

The transmission shudders and shakes under light acceleration at speed 20-30 mph. looks like this is a known issue by Honda. check the bulletin (15-086 and 17-040) https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10108735-9999.pdf https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10108737-9999.pdf (the document says : the warranty is 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first.) There are service bulletins out from Honda with corrective actions to be taken Honda wants to charge to perform the fix with no guarantee it will solve the known problem.

VTC Actuator Timing valve rattles at cold start on highway when going over 50-65mph engine rattles very hard and vehicle shakes to point have to pull over. Looked all over online and thousands of customers have same issue even lawsuits. Took to Middletown NY Honda and they say out of warranty and nothing they can do but pay $1500to replace a known faulty part that once replaced could happen again or cause catstrostapic engine damage. please make a recall

We are having repeat problems with the VTC Actuator. This was replaced in 2018 under warranty but has since recurred. Our car is now at the dealer with a diagnostic of timing chain, vtc actuator, and cam gear for a cost of 2100 dollars. It is no longer under warranty and the cost is being passed on to us. This complaint is all over the internet and it is a Honda defect. Please work to support consumers and issue a recall promptly. Honda needs to fix this issue. We also, like many other, burn through oil. It’s amazing how everyone is reporting the same issues in cold starts. (Rattles).

MY 2014 HONDA CRV SEEMS TO SHUDDER AROUND 23 TO 35 MPH AT SLOW ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A GOOD WHILE NOW. I CHANGED THE FLUID TRANSMISSION FLUID AND STILL NO CHANGES, IT STILL HAS AN HARD SHUDDER.

IN NOVEMBER 2016 OR 2017 WENT TO HONDA DEALER FOR CHECK OUT PERFORMANCE AND ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALLS AT CASTLE HONDA MORON GROVE IL TEL # 847-965-8833. WE QUESTIONED ABOUT THE RATTLING COMING ON WHEN 1ST START OF THE DAY. THEY JUST ANSWERED SOME ENGINES DO THIS WHEN THEY ARE COLD, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT! WELL WE DIDN'T WORRY IT SINCE THE HONDA DEALER ANSWERED ITS OK. NOW OVER TIME THE RATTLING IS GETTING LONGER AND LOUDER. I WORK FOR THE STATE AND AT TIMES AM NOT AVAILABLE TO HELP MY WIFE WHEN I AM NOT AT HOME. IAM AFRAID THE RATTLING MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING TOTALLY AND PLACE HER IN DANGER.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY CRV THAT MY AUTO IS SHAKING WHILE I'M DRIVING UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. I VISITED 2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY BOTH ASKED ME TO HAVE DIAGNOSIS.ALTHOUGH I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. SO, I GOT DIAGNOSIS FROM HONDA IN FALLS CHURCH, VA. THEY VERIFIED MY CONCERN THAT TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDS TO PERFORM TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. MY CONCERN IS MY AUTO MILEAGE IS NOW OVER 82K SO I'M NOT AVAILABLE TO HAVE THE SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. I HEARD THAT MANY CRV OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE I COULD GET THE SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY

I PURCHASED A 2014 HONDA CRV WITH 13,000 MILES ON IN, A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AT 31,000 MILES THE VTC ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT WOULD MAKE A GRINDING NOISE ON START-UP. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE NOISE AND ONLY HAVE 65K MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE IN HONDA FORUMS AND THE PART IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE OR THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH IT AS THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN ISSUED, BUT NO RECALL YET.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SHUDDER UNDER LIGHT TO NORMAL ACCELERATION AT OR AROUND 2000 RPM. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT FROM HONDA WITH CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE TO PERFORM THE FIX WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WILL SOLVE THEW KNOWN PROBLEM.

I LIVE IN MN, AND ONLY COLD AIR BLOWERS OUT OF THE HEATER VENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA (TSB 14-063), IT IS A CLOGGED HEATER CORE. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED 2 TIMES ($120/PER TIME) AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN IT IS 20 BELOW AND THERE IS NO HEAT IN MY CRV.

ON COLD START-UPS THERE IS A LOUD RATTLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. MY CR-V ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I AM TOLD IT COULD BE THE VTC ACTUATOR AND CAN ONLY HOPE THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER IT. NOT THE QUALITY I EXPECT FROM HONDA AT ALL. RESEARCHING THIS CAN LEAD TO OIL CONSUMPTION AND A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN AND PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE.

Mileage: 54,000

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 SECOND FIX ACCORDING TO HONDA IS A TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HELP THE PROBLEM.

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.

Mileage: 70,000

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.

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 WIRES. I THINK THAT IT DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY LIFE COULD BE IN A DANGER IF THE SHORTAGE OCCURRED WHEN I DROVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THEREFORE, I WANTED YOUR AGENCY TO RAISE THIS SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO HONDA CRV TO HONDA MANUFACTURER AND CONSUMERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY DRIVING A SIMILAR TYPE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM CURRENTLY COOPERATING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SINCERELY, (XXXX) P.S.

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 FLUSH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AS PART OF THIS, AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE $499 WITH LABOR AND TAXES. I THEN ALSO WENT AHEAD AND HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND MY BRAKE FLUID SINCE IT WAS RECOMMENDED. TOTAL BILL WAS $703. I THEN CAME HOME AND STARTED LOOKING UP AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE/HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MOST WEREN'T CHARGED BY THEIR DEALER FOR THE UPDATE AND FLUID CHANGE, WHICH SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. BUT I WAS. AND I HAVE THE SILVER WARRANTY UNDER FIDELITY. AND IT AFFECTED MY POWER TRAIN, BUT THEY CO WIDER IT A SOFTWARE ISSUE, NOT MECHANICAL, SO THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. HONDA SHOULD NOT CHARGE FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH WAS CLEARLY AFFECTING ENOUGH PEOPLE TO CAUSE THEM TO HAVE AN UPDATE AVAILABLE. BUT WHY CHARGE FOR IT? IT'S A MALFUNCTION IN THEIR SOFTWARE WHICH AFFECTED THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL AND PROVIDED THIS FOR FREE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED DRASTICALLY. SCHOMP HONDA (1003 PLUM VALLEY LN, HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO, 1-(303) 798-1500) DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT/PROPELLER AND REAR AXLE MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

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 BILL FOR IT BEING THEIR SOFTWARE ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE. CAR ALSO MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE ON COLD STARTS. WAS INFORMED THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE VTC ACTUATOR, BUT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT.

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 ALSO FOUND THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING QUITE A BIT OF OIL FOR SUCH A NEW CAR AND HE SAID IT HAD A CONSUMPTION ISSUE. I CALLED HONDA IN AUGUST 2018, AND STARTED A CASE REGARDING OIL CONSUMPTION AND NOISE RELATED TO TIMING CHAIN. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BEGIN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND TO HAVE NOISE LOOKED AT. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO LIA HONDA WHO TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED TO START CONSUMPTION TEST B/C THE OIL WAS RECENTLY CHANGED AND IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF NEW OIL. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO KEELER HONDA IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 TO COMPLETE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHEN THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND TO HAVE THE NOISE CHECKED OUT. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE NOISE, STATING THE CAR WAS FINE. AS I DROVE THE CAR OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THE NOISE GOT WORSE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY STATED I SHOULD BRING THE CAR BACK TO HONDA BECAUSE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN UNDER WARRANTEE AND SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG. I CALLED HONDA MANUFACTURER AND REFERENCED MY CASE FROM AUG OF 2018- THEY AGREED TO DOCUMENT THAT MY CAR WAS COVERED B/C THESE ISSUES STEM FROM WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTEE (NOW HAS 62KMI). KEELER HONDA FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPLACE VTC ACTUATOR RELATED TO NOISE. THIS WAS REPLACED AND COVERED BY HONDA. THE CAR STILL HAS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE! 2015 CR-V'S WERE RECALLED DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, BUT NOT 2014'S? SAME ISSUE!!!!!

THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOW SPEED STALL. I'VE REPORTED TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CLAIM ITS A GEARING PROBLEM. WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP OR MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T ENGAGE IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN THAT YOU MAY BE IN HARMS WAY WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT OF THE SITUATION. I DID TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AFTER I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO RECALLS OR FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ.....UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS APPLIED, IT TOOK AT LEAST 10 SECONDS FOR A RESPONSE. HONDA STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN ECONOMY MODE. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER STATED IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ECONOMY MODE. UPDATED 10/28/15. *JB UPDATED 11/01/2017*CN

THE AWD ON THE 2014 HONDA CRV FAILS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW ZERO, THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THEN IS JUST A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. WE LIVE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE USA AND OFTEN DEAL WITH SNOW PACKED ROADS. WITHOUT THE AWD WORKING THIS LEADS TO DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION AND AT TIMES LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE IN 4 TIMES AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND AT THIS TIME HAS NOT OFFERED AND SOLUTION TO THE SITUATION, ONLY THAT THE TECH/ENGINEERS WILL LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. AT THIS TIME CAN NOT EVEN GET THE VEHICLE UP THE HILL OF OUR SNOW PACKED DRIVEWAY WITHOUT A TOW. *TR

I BOUGHT AT 2014 CRV END OF SEPT/OCT OF 2013. UPON THE FIRST SNOW FALL I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS. THE CAR WAS NOT GETTING ANY TRACTION, IT WAS SLIDING AROUND GOING DOWN HILLS AND UPON TRYING TO DRIVE UP HILLS IT WOULD STOP WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO GO UP. IT WOULD STOP AND WHEELS WOULD SPIN, THE REAR END SPUN TO THE SIDE AND I COULD NOT GET ANYWHERE. THE AMBER AWD LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED, COMBINATION OF BOTH SCENARIOS. I FINALLY GOT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN DEEMED DEFECTIVE (OVERHEATING ISSUE TO POINT OF ALMOST GLOWING AND FLUID OVERHEATED). THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS THAT IF THE CAR WAS PUT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR TO AID SLOWING DOWN ON A HILL, EVEN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CAR SPED UP GOING DOWN THE HILL IN FIRST GEAR TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH EVEN WITH THE BRAKE ON, WHICH WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ENGAGING AND NOT EVEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CAR BEHAVED THE SAME EVEN IF ON FLAT GROUND THAT HAD EVEN A DUSTING OF SNOW OR EVEN A LITTLE GRAVEL. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A COURTESY 2014 SAME YEAR AS MINE, IT DROVE MUCH BETTER AND MUCH SAFER THAN MINE PERFORMED AFTER THE FIRST 2 DAYS. I FEEL THE CAR HAS MORE ISSUES THAN JUST THE DIFFERENTIAL AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS THE LAST 1-2 WEEKS THE CAR HAS HAD NO CONTROL IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN DRY ROADS. IT HAS ALMOST WRECKED MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO THESE ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE IS 3.5 MONTHS OLD AND HAD UNDER 10,000 MILES ON IT AND ALL OF THIS HAS GONE WRONG SINCE THE BEGINNING. *TR
