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.

On the initial startup, on cool to cold mornings, there is a grinding noise in the starter for about 1-2 seconds. This was a brand new car. The Honda dealer says Honda knows about it and is working on a fix. They say it is not hurting the car. It sounds awful. This happens when the car is parked. Began Jan. 2014-now.

After being in the off mode, the ignition battery power does not start engine with out a powerful battery boost. This has happened1T least 13 times with no warning sign. Vehicle has been taken to two dealerships and they declared nothing has been. Honda of ca said that they investigated and declared that no issue had been found. I have purchased a high power booster as an intermediary fix.

TPMS warning light appeared on dashboard. Stopped at Honda dealership. Tires were at correct pressure. We were shown where the button was on the dashboard to clear the TPMS warning light. This has happened at least twice since the first incident. It was brought to the dealership the next time and we were told the tire pressure on all 4 tires was fine and they canceled the warning light on the dashboard. All of this at no cost to us. The third time it happened I canceled the warning light. The issue must be a engineering or design failure/problem otherwise why would they have a button on the dashboard so the driver could cancel the warning light? we feel we can't trust the warning light anymore and quite frankly wonder how safe the tires and vehicle is to drive.

Vehicle becomes unresponsive to star up procedure w/O prior indication or warning. Has happened approx., on 12 instances. Have called for road called & taken it to dealership without final resolution. Contacted Honda of carson ca. Final resolve after two months was to have vehicle towed to dealer for appraisal of situation.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. upon turning the key in the ignition switch, the instrument panel gauges and all the warning lights flickered. The contact stated that the key hesitated to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition wiring harness connector frayed causing a loss of connection to the computer or instrument cluster. The technician stated that further diagnostic testing was required in order to determine the failure. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 11V004000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60. Updated 10/06/2017

My CRV started making grinding noises with ignition in Sept 2014, approx. 6 months after I purchased it from kings Honda in cincinnati, oh. During routine service at kings Honda I inquired about the grinding and was told that " it was the vtc actuator in the crvs and this was a known problem to Honda." The service manager told me that Honda was issuing a recall for the problem soon. I haven't seen a recall yet and I want this problem fixed while my car is still under warranty. Please advise on what further action I need to take. Thank you

First thing in the morning on cold days, sometimes a grinding sound occurs when starting the engine that lasts about a second. It doesn't happen every cold morning, but it happens fairly regularly on cold mornings. I see that many people have complained about this problem and Honda has not developed a solution. This problem needs to be fixed to ensure no damage is occurring to the engine.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. when the vehicle was started, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate over 20 mph and all the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician stated that rodents were chewing the harness wires. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on February 4, 2014 where it was diagnosed that the crank sensor and harness wires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 3,000.

During cold winter months there is a grinding noise for about 2 seconds when first starting the vehicle, even in garage. Taking to Honda dealer this week. Looking at all similar complaints online, I am not expecting much to be done. Seems Honda is aware of this problem on crvs but can't diagnose"?????"!!!!

I started my car with the remote start and a little over ten minutes later went out to clean off my car and I didn't want my car to turn off when the remote start timed out so I put my key in the ignition and turned it so the car would stay turned on while I cleaned off my car. As I was cleaning off my car I heard the doors lock with the keys in the ignition.

The TPMS warning light has been coming on since not long after the car was purchased new. We are told by the dealer that the latest software upgrade has been installed. Annoying, useless light. Constantly re-setting.

- Riverside, CA, USA

The tpwl comes on at various times & is not a reliable way to monitor tire pressure. Every time the light comes on, I check the pressures & they are all at 32 psi. The light is useless! this has happened multiple times & now I ignore the light.

- Lynnwood, WA, USA

The tpm went on indicating low tire pressure. Dealer check: All tires ok, reset tpm. This has happened many times since, it's back on as this data is being entered. A search on-line indicates that many 2014 owners have the same problem (one web site: ). this is a safety issue because owners can't trust the tpm system: Is a tire going flat, or is the tpm malfunctioning again. This is only for 2014 (and newer?) years when Honda went to a new system that monitors the rotational speed of wheels rather than actual tire pressure. Thanks

- Eug, OR, USA

Traveling on trip to California from Arizona and the tire pressure system monitoring light came on. We pulled off as soon as feasible possible and checked pressure which was correct. Happened to me twice since then and both times the pressure in all tires was correct. Looks like a lot of other people have this problem as well.

My TPMS light keeps coming on. After I reset it, my tires pressure is right. But it still comes on.

Leaving for 4 hour vacation drive; as we were about 60 miles from home the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) low-tire light illuminated. We proceeded to pull off at a safe spot, examine the tires, check the tire pressure and found nothing wrong. The vacation ended there as we turned around and came home because we can no longer trust this vehicle. The TPMS light has been coming on since day one! originally I suspected the pre-delivery tire check and calibration was missed so I performed it myself. The light came on again and I took it to Honda who found no problems and acknowledged the condition stating we are working on a re-programming of the computer 12/2013. The light continued to illuminate until I couldn't take it any more and called Honda usa again who magically said we have a fix. Back to dealer who installed a vsa modulator control unit software update for different driving conditions 6/2014. Light illuminated again 8/19/2014 as stated above. Called Honda usa, took to dealer today for vsa repair kit fit usa 13-040. This seems fishy as it is a repair kit for a Honda fit not specifically for a CRV. Time will tell but we can not trust this vehicle as I am handicapped!

Rapid and uncontrolled deceleration of the vehicle in an unsafe manner while driving.we were almost hit by the following car.we lost of all instrumentation, all of the warnings lights indicate failure, speedometer, tachometer, airbags, vsa, brakes, ABS, etc.. the car has been repaired 4 times. #1(4/4/14) replaced vsa module and bleed brakes+ reset codes, #2 (4/8/14) replace 2 wiring harnesses and verify connections+ reset codes, #3(5/8/14) measure all can buss voltages & drive with meter+ reset codes, #4(6/10/14)dealer thinks they have found a loose ground & replaced ECM/PCM module+reset codes, drove a couple hundred miles then returned. The loose pin may have been from replacing the harness and removing connectors multiple occasions. Vehicle has been in for 30 days of service combined. In 1857 miles the vehicle has failed 4 times. You have no speed indication while driving during and after the event. Feels like the brakes come on or car is forced into low gear throwing passengers forward and causing following cars to evade the car. There are many error codes during these events. After shutting the car off and restarting car multiple times all indicators will return to normal except for the check engine light. We have pictures and video of three of the events.

Tire pressure monitor systemp (TPMS) light come on every few miles. We had reseted it 50 time by now. All speed & temperatures. Dealers serviced this problem 3 times so far. Checked everything out ok. Customer forum mentioned a vehicle stability control firmware "vsa/ABS software update" & "sb#14-006 update". dealer applied firmware update May 8. but TPMS lights still came on. Problem not fixed by the firmware update.
