When driving the vehicle and I depress the ex the car vibrates, and feels life if it will cut of no one can fine the problem and no check engine lights, and no codes come up when scan
Vtc actuator: Loud rattling noise upon cold start-up started at approx 75K miles. Car is stationary. Took car to dealership for regular maintenance and given a clean bill of health each time. In fact dealer told me it may have been my imagination because they could not duplicate the sound in shop. The extended warranty expires 2 months ago. Because the sound persisted and seems louder in fact, I left my CR-V at dealer's overnight, sound was heard and duplicated first thing in the am. Then I get a diagnosis of the vtc actuator failure at a replacement cost of $849. In addition, my timing chain cover is now mysteriously leaking oil, costing $748 for repair. I wonder if the constant rattling of the variable valve timing control actuator aided in this issue. According to published tsb and online complaints, Honda has known of vtc actuator problem/safety issue since 2012 which means the Honda technicians were aware prior to my constant complaining about it, my warranty expiring, and an enormous cost for repairs. Anything less than an official recall forcing Honda to replace part for working one at no cost to vehicle owner is a lack of integrity, deceitful dealings and unfair to Honda loyal consumers.
Honda 2012...black death. 78000 miles. Total failure of ac system. Must have ac in summer. Why has Honda not fixed this issue over past number of year.S and Honda says nothing is being paid by them. Yes, nothing covered. Consumer must pay over $3,000 to repair.
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.
Exploding sun roof _ read article in consumer report. This incident took place on Sept.30 - Oct.1. I was driving on the expressway a loud noise occured and at the time I thought something flew up from the road and hit the windshield.I thought nothing of it until driving home the next day on the expressway, I was hearing a whistling noise and then as I was passing a semi a very loud noise took place. I couldn't believe it happened twice and the whistling noise disappeared. When I arrived at my destination my friend and I started looking the car all over. We finally discovered that the sunroof had been hit and that the loud noise was the glass giving away and coming off the car. I do do not know if this will be considered a spontaneous shattering sunroof, but I thought I would pass this along.

The drivers's side heating vents produce little to no heat. The passenger side heat vents function normally. It seems that there is some kind of blockage in the heater core where the heat should be originating from. This happens at all times, even after car is warmed up to normal operating temperature.
The car is a 2012 Honda CR-V LX AWD. The driver's side heat is significantly lower than the passenger side heat. This is a know issue, Honda tsb 14-063, low driver's side heat. The low driver's side heat makes driving in the snow dangerous as there is not enough heat to adequately defrost the windshield. The driver's side windshield wiper will also start to ice up the passenger side is fine. I measured a 40 - 50 degree F temperature differential between the far passenger and driver side vents using a thermocouple display device. This occurs while the vehicle is in motion or stationary and on city streets and highways.
Wife pulled car into attached garage, has stopped, needed to move up 1-2 feet, with foot on brake the car suddenly overpowered the brakes, smashed a cabinet in garage, hit inside wall, broke studs, and moved others damage both wall in garage and inside home, there were marks on garage floor per insurance adjuster said, not skid marks instead it was from front wheels spinning as it pushed a cabinet into and through 2 walls - took to dealeer, Honda corporate was involved, before Honda people we involved, they could not duplicate the situaltion, (note this is the second time this happened other was parking in outside parking lot, was able to stop but barely) it was swept under the rug, by Honda, corporate, factory rep never even bothered to call us. Wife was accident free 50+ years, she is short about 5 foot, drives with right foot only. There is an engineer or someone back in 2012 already 136,000 reported accidents across all makes and models, SUV and foreign cars were the worst, 92% were at slow speed mostly parking, the one thing in common is everything is electronic, batteries are smaller and at low speeds all the power being used causes a spike to the computer, which controls speed, no cables or rods to be pushed on gas pedal anymore, to make it worse another car same model, year, make in on your site as id 10794564 look at VIN # almost identical. With all this happening it appears the manufactures are not bothering to find a common cause for this, saves them money, but the damages, injuries, and deaths related to this problem has never been found in 10+ years
Heater core is clogged. Cool air flows out onto driver's side of cabin (legs and air vents) while hot air flows out onto passenger side of cabin. Dealer says the fix is to either replace heater core at a cost of approximately $1,000 to me or to have it flushed at a cost of $500 to me. The flush is not guaranteed to work. Reading online vehicle websites it appears this is a significant problem for 2012 Honda CR-V's across the United States. There must be a recall so Honda can fix this issue!
The bluetooth component has a horrible background noise. The person you're speaking with is unable to hear you. This totally defeats the purpose of hands free driving. This complaint has been reported numerous times and can be found with a basic google search. The dealership has even confirmed to me directly that this is an ongoing complaint and problem, which they don't have a solution to. They stated it is just part the technology problems with bluetooth. I have had bluetooth earbuds in the past and have never had this problem so I find that reasoning unacceptable.
Tsb 14-063 failure or plugging of the heater core. Not allowing the driver side vents to defrost my windshield. It is 5 degrees outside and there is little/no heat coming from the drivers side vents, but the passenger side is warm. Continually happening.
When using the heat; the driver side air vents have cool or cold air while the passenger side has hot air coming from the vents. This was discovered during the below zero temps. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was told the heater core is plugged which I found through research is a complaint among this particular vehicle 2012-2014 models. I feel that Honda should be responsible for repairing this issue through a recall.
Vehicle has 20,000 miles on it. With heater control set to full heat and engine hot driver side heater vents blow cold air even when passenger vents blow hot air. Results are poor heating and potentially dangerous ineffective defrosting of driver side windshield. Honda recognizes heater core flaw and recommends replacement as the solution. Not an isolated occurrence as many owners report identical problem on relatively new vehicles.
Honda CRV heat stopped working on driver side at 20000 miles. Took to dealership and they replaced heater core. The car now has 60000 miles and the same problem is happening again. Heater core needs to be replaced again. Did online research and several other people who own CRV have had same problem. I live in Minnesota and the weather today was -5 degrees. I was unable to heat car which causes safety concerns.
I was stopped at a redlight with 4 cars in front of me.my car accelerated with my foot still on the brake & pushed all 4 cars into each other.lucky no one was seriously injured.this has cost me a lot of money and couldn't be helped.has anyone else had a problem with this?
It is well documented by Honda that there is an issue with heater cores on these cars. Heater will eventually become plugged and not work. Heat is significantly cooler on drivers side vents than passenger side. My complaint is without heat to defrost windshield in winter conditions it will become a visibility issue due to not having the ability to defrost the windshield. And potentially cause a crash. Honda is very much aware of this issue, yet is charging customers that are out of warranty to rectify the issue. I have 46K miles on my car and am having heater core issues? I noticed the issue early on and it has gotten progressively worse. Had I of known what it was I would have had it fixed under warranty. Honda tsb number is 14-063. Temperature differential from passenger side to driver side in my car is 40+ degrees.
When I use the hands free bluetooth on my vehicle, the person on the other end state they hear a loud buzzing noise and can't hear me speak. I tried switching to my work's iphone and the buzzing noise is still there. It's sounds clear on my end but not on the other end. At this point, I can't use my hands free device on my vehicle which is now a law in my state that we are not allowed to use our phones when driving unless it's connected to hands free.
