CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Honda CR-V has a trend of engine hesitation when accelerating.
Honda has tried to fix this delayed acceleration with a software update, but many owners report it didn't fix the problem.
This defect trend is not quite bad enough yet for us to slap on the "Beware of the Clunker" seal. But it's a concern & definitely something to keep in mind for a test drive.
October 5, 2022: My 2014 Honda CRV EXL with 59,000 miles 2.4L motor started idling rough when in gear while braking at the stop lights/signs. This has not gone away over the last six months, so I will be taking it to the dealer. I added injector cleaner to the gas with no change. I hope there is an idle adjustment on it and not like other vehicles controlled by the computer with no adjustment like the Mitsubishi.
Update from Nov 5, 2022: I took the Honda to the shop. They cleaned the throttle plate and air flow sensor. Also checked the motor mounts which can cause a symptom like this. Motor mounts are good. Still no change after work was completed.
