This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When the vehicle is in motion and shifts from first to second gear anywhere between 20-25mph there is a vibration that appear to come from the transmission. I have visited the dealer several time trying to resolve this matter. The first time they told me fluid was needed, the second the transmission fluid, need to be changed. The 3rd time they needed a code to identify the problem, the forth time they upgrades the computer system. All these changes have improved the problem for a couple of weeks only. I reported this problem to company in California. The problem still present.
When going from 0-30 mph the care will shudder / judder. Only happens at low speed like the transmission is try to catch. This started very early when I bought the car new. Honda has two service bulletin's (15-086 and 17-040) that recognize this issue for 2013 CR-V's but won't recognize the issue for my VIN #. comments from many Honda drivers is this is common across all Honda automobiles with the cvt for years dating very far back. Honda should back up there product.
Engine rattles at early morning start up, Honda aware of vtc actuator default and needs to open a recall cases to all CRV made between 2012-2014. I have had to replace the cam shafts, and drive belt. I have had to replace the control arms and tires. All mt dash lights have come on while I was driving. The car shakes and is scary to drive. This car has safety issues with the control arms in the suspension and acceleration issues that have been reported by consumers. When does someone decide that this is a safety issue. When a car has tire, acceleration, or issues with transmission this is a safety issue. Honda should do something to show they care about the consumer safety. There are many issues with the Honda CR-V please address the serious ones.
Driver on highway when check engine, malfunction indicator and eps lights came on. The car lost power and driver pulled off to side. Checked car, restarted car but would not go over 20mph. Car towed and mechanic reported #4 spark plug oil fouled, but no psi in #4 cylinder. Towed to dealer but problem not fixed and engine not running. Dealer did not offer any help.
The Honda CR-V 2013 we purchased on 7/3/18 has been experiencing a vibration while in motion between aprox 10 mph -30 mph. It took place on city, town and county roads we have not driven on highway yet. It vibrates similar to driving over rumble strips in the highway to inform you of lane edges.it seems to stop if you let the foot of accelerator pedal. It is somewhat unnerving and can be a little scary to our young driver.
This car developed a major vibration while accelerating at low speeds (around 20-30 mph) around 65,000miles. The steering wheel shakes and passengers can feel the car "shudder". I was told it needed a software update and transmission fluid changed. This was done and now at 100,000 miles the vibration is back and Honda is refusing to repair it. States the extended the warranty to 80,000 miles for this known problem but since its over 100,000 it would be out of pocket.
When speeds of 65+ mph are reached the 2013 Honda CR-V steering wheel vibrates and shakes violently while traveling at high speeds on the highway. This makes the ride very scary and seem uncontrollable at times. As I have read on many forums, this is a very common occurrence with these vehicles. The dealership service department has not had an answer to why this is happening and told me "that this is a common thing with CR-V's". Honda even put out a video basically stating that they fixed this problem with their new line of cr V's in 2017. I believe it's an unbalanced drive shaft, due to fact that the tires have been balanced 3 times, 2 alignments in a 3 month period and a friend of mine had the same issue and that's what fixed his along with other people on Honda forums stating the same issues a stated above and repair methods. I hope someone can get to the bottom of these very common issues.
Takata recall the passenger" air bag is off" icon is on all the time in the upper right hand corner of the dash. Only have 25,000 miles on the car and there isn't anyone sitting in the passenger seat. Does not go off if someone is sitting in the passenger seat. Is this a problem related to the massive airbag recall? also, the starter engagement makes a grinding noise.
The vehicle vibrates/juddrs during 25-35 mph when lightly accelerating from a stop. This has been happening for a long time, but I was made to notice this by a friend recently.
Upon light acceleration on a city street my car vibrates quite strongly and feels as though the car is going to stall. This issue seems to only happen at low speeds (10-35mph). I have contacted the local Honda dealer with my VIN# and they deny any issue with the vehicle. After further investigation I have found numerous reports online about this very same issue and how Honda is unwilling to address or fix the issue. I hope Honda issue a recall soon because this amount of vibration makes me feel as if there is a lot of mechanical wear happening with every acceleration and that the car could fail at any moment.
When the car is cold at 30 mph the car vibrates. Dealer reset software on transmission. Did not fix problem. Now they are going to replace rear driveshaft.
Especially when cold under light acceleration, the vehicle will shudder. I think it is when it shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. Took it to the dealer for normal service and asked them to check this issue. Went to pick it up and was told they confirmed the issue. They told me the issue was reported in later models and a possible fix was to change the transmission and rear differential fluid and update the software. It would not be covered by the Honda 5 year/60K mile powertrain warranty or the extended warranty purchased when we bought the car new. I was charged $88 just for them to confirm the issue and also Honda was aware of the issue. Since they said it would only possibly fix the car at a cost to me of around $300 and there were no fault codes, I opted to forego the procedure. After I got home I found numerous reports of this problem on user forums. I also found a link to print the Honda service bulletin sb 15-086, dated August 18, 2016. That was stated for CRV model years 2012-14. Hopefully the problem will not result in a catastrophic failure, causing injury or damage. Honda evidently does not believe it could or there would be a recall.
Judder, akin to driving on the rumble strips alongside a highway. Happens when slowly accelerating between 20-30 mph. Purchased the vehicle in 10/2016.
Awful grinding noise at a cold start no matter what the weather is. Car is in mid atlantic region. Each start comes with a grinding noise. Mechanic can't find anything wrong. None of my other cars not make such a horrendous noise at start up. This sound was noticed not long after the car was purchased late 2014.
Excessive oil consumption. No oil leak and not burning oil. Mechanic noted excessive oil use when he saw it was 2 quarts low on oil within 3 months use after a oil change. Mechanic found no cause for this so it must be inside the engine or drive train. Car is used for local flat driving. No towing, racing, mountains, etc.
Honda 2013 CRV will vibrate @ 25-35 mile speed feel like when its shifting to 3rd its having problem to switch gears from 2nd to 3rd, once its above or close to 40 mile speed, its ok, runs good. (all oils and spark plugs are clean, also all filters).started noticing this problem on 10 08 16 and its been gradually more noticeable, everyday little by little.
There is a tsb out that says the fluids need to be changed and a software update applied. The original symptom is the vehicle shudder at start of acceleration and during shifts between 2nd and 3rd. Paid for service still have problem Honda dealer in hollywood Florida 2 days after service still same problem. Went back to dealer tells us its torque converter but not covered. Question is why didn't they test V drive vehicle after service work. Been to several dealerships to test drive used CRV between model treat 2012 to 2014 all have same issues. Car travels 80 percent city streets along same route past this Honda dealership 2 times daily. Checked several Honda forums and various years all posting issues does not matter if LX ex exl or 2wd or and models everyone posts sane issues. Havre even retired driving pinky eco mode or normal mode same issue so software update and fluid change resolved no issues.
