I purchased at 2013 Honda CRV from pohanka in salisbury md with 30K miles. The other day I noticed my driver side vents were blowing cold air with the heat on.I took the car to the dealership where they told me it was the heater core and was going to cost me 400$ I purchased bumper to bumper warranty on this vehicle which should cover that expensive but doesn't. I've done a lot of research and have found that this particular model has a tsb 14-063 which states a factory defect.factory! many CRV customers have reported this problem and it has yet to become a safety recall.I can not defrost my windshield during cold temperatures or fog/humidity, that is a safety problem to me and many others who own this model.ive owned probably 15 Honda and have never had a heater core problem especially at 30kmiles.I, nor should anyone have to pay for a factory mishap.the technical service bulletin for this model needs to be passed as a safety recall immediately before someone gets in an accident.its not a if it's going to happen its when.I've read atleast 100 complaints about this specific problem and cant understands why Honda wont own up to this problem and take responsibility!
Tsb 14-063 code. Affects the heating element. In my instance, it does not blow hot air at all. This is a known issue with Honda and they have not issued a recall. This could be quite dangerous if in cold, inclement weather. Heater never switches to hot air.
The heat -system has never worked properly. This includes the windshield defrost mode that does not clear the windshield for safe visibility.. hot air will only blow out of the passenger side vents and cold air blows out of the driver side vents. The windshield does not defrost enough for good safe visibility. Honda Corp.and dealers know about this issue on 2012 to 2017 models and is avoiding any recall or offer to fix this safety issue. Please help us to get this fixed so these cars are safe to drive in cold months. Thank you. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The heater core is clogged and needs to be flushed in accordance with tsb 14-063. Getting the CRV to operating temperature and driving hundreds of miles has no affect getting heat. The lack of heat poses a significant safety hazard due to extreme freezing temperatures and windshield defrosting. It makes it near impossible to defrost the windshield while leaving all occupants inside the vehicle frozen. This known heater core problem is not covered under Honda new vehicle limited warranty.
Driver's door lock makes a loud rattle upon locking, sounds like a machine gun. Rear left door can only be manually locked or unlocked, does not work with the remote or will not lock or unlock automatically.
At times when I am trurning on the car I hear a grinding noise. I'm not sure where this noise is comeing from but it's loud and scrachy grindy. Sometime is comes on when I first start the car in the morning, but yet sometime is dose the same thing later on in the day. Some days it dose not do that noise at all, but some days it does it a few times in the day. I have asked the dealer about it but they don't know why. The form requires a date of when this happens, but there is no exact date this issue happens whenever no worning and no reason why it should happen
A squirrel ate through my windshield washer hoses. I got the hoses replaced, then 3 months later it happened again, and I had to replace them again. One time I was moving when I discovered I had non-functioning washers, and the other time it was while my car was stationary. There is a class action lawsuit against Honda for the soy-based coating Honda uses, which attracts rodents. The Honda service manager pretended he knew nothing about this situation, even though Honda makes a rodent-deterrent tape for this very reason. Although the safety factor was minimal due to never knowing whether I have functioning windshield washers unless I test them each time I turn on the car, I have read about Honda owners who have had rodents eat through their main harnesses.
Hesitation when vehicle has come to slowdown as if to stop but gas is pressed to continue, vehicle will hesitate as if it completely loses all power for a few seconds, then it will regain power. This if extremely frightening when traffic is coming. Car is in motion when this happens. It happens occasionally.
The car has failed to start several times. I have had the battery, alternater and started checked out. They are fine. It appears that the battery is not charging at the proper voltage.
My back righ door does not open form the inside or outside. Something is wrong with the locking mechanisim. I have also had issues with the back hatch down not latching. Suddnely startied happening. Waitign to hear about my extended warranty. Its seems like a sefery issue to me, since kids cant exit the car on the correct side at school. Were recalls on same issue in previous years.
Having this problem since June 2015. Already have purchased two tensioner and now 1 pulley. Since I have gone over the warranty is over 12,000, I drive 4K miles a month. I have it back to the shop still making a strange sound when I take off and drive between 20-40 mph. Now brought it back saying product is defective again. How many time is the product going to be defective. Whats really happening
The car makes a griniding noise when we start it. We bought the car in December of 2015. On 2/26/2016, I was told by the dealer mechanic that hnda is aware of the situation but hasnt formulated a soultion. The Honda dealer's mechanic did give me a great desription of the problem.
2013 Honda CRV with 27,000 miles has been making grinding noises when starting the engine in cold weather. This started about a year ago and was not happening each time. It seems temperature related. We called our dealer who said this problem was known by Honda and that Honda was working on it and we would be contacted by the dealer once Honda had a solution. They seemed to know exactly what was causing the problem and admitted that other customers had called with exactly the same complaint. From what we have seen online, this problem has been around for a while and there has been no resolution from Honda. In the meantime, because oil is not getting to this part in the starter, we can only assume that this part is being worn down. This problem is known by Honda yet it appears nothing is being done to replace the part. This seems like a problem that would require a recall. We will continue to contact our dealer here in bend, Oregon, so that we can keep our concern documented and on the table.
