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.

Takata recall - air bag did not deploy - I was traveling West on the us 60 freeway in mesa, Arizona and was driving in the right lane of a 4 lane freeway, traveling 65 mph. A car driven by a young lady, realized that she missed her exit and came from the car pool lane, on the far left side to try and get off on an exit called dobson road. According to the witness statements she had to speed up to pass everyone to try and get off on the exit she was going to miss. As she cut across, I just happened to be driving past that exit and while she was going 75 to 85 mph, she hit me on the driver's side door. At the last second, I noticed something out of the corner of my left eye and turned my head and that is when she hit me. The next thing I remember is trying to get out of my car, but I couldn't because the door was smashed in, right where the hinges are. She hit me in a strong part of the door. Evidently, after she hit me her car pushed me into the wall of the on ramp. I don't really remember what happened between the time I turned my head, until the time I was trying to get out, to no avail. The side airbag and the front airbag never went off. The airbag on the passenger side, the side that hit the wall, did go off. I am lucky that the car did not roll over, but I think it was the wall that prevent that, because the wheels on the passenger side were at a 90 degree angle from sliding sideways. I suffered whiplash, of course and my neck and back are still not right. I had to get steroid shots in my back to be able to go to work because I started a new job. I had a concussion and still get headaches, and I tore my left acl, which has been replaced and now the only way to repair it is to have a knee replacement. I am still not okay and I know that a big reason for my severe injuries due to airbags not deploying. Accident occurred on 10/7/16 and I'm still suffering.

Takata recall: I contacted several dealerships in san marcos and san antonio in March 2016. I was told then, there were no parts available to fix the recall and no loaner cars available for those effected. We were told parts would be available early summer. Now we receive a letter that says parts will not be available until the fall. I am a working mother of two with no other vehicles to drive. So my children and I are forced to drive around in this death trap, with no end in sight. The anxiety is causes us is great and we have limited our travels this summer, due to fears of something happening. This is not right!!! we need a loaner vehicle, so that my family can be safe until parts are made available.

June 26, 2014 to whom it may concern, my husband and I were driving East down highway 55 at around 8A.M. on June 23, 2014. A deer came out quickly from the driver's side of the car and hit our new Honda CR-V. the driver's side was quite caved in and my airbag deployed. I was in the passenger's side. My husband's airbag did not. He hit the steering wheel with his shoulder. We were quite shook up and sore afterward. The officer that came to file the report mentioned that he was surprised that the driver's airbag did not go off and that in order to move the CR-V he suggested we tow in case the airbag would still go off. This situation has made us quite nervous about driving this particular vehicle because the airbag did not go off. We would appreciate Honda investigating this matter. We would like to have a vehicle that is equipped properly should we be in a collision. And we are concerned that with this particular vehicle that is not the case. Please let us know what steps need to be taken next, so that we can move forward. Sincerely,

The passenger airbag off light on the 2014 CR-V is illuminated when the seat is occupied by an adult and it is not illuminated when the seat is empty or occupied by a child. At first I thought there was a problem with my vehicle since this is exactly opposite of how every other car implements this. However, this is how it is written in the owner's manual and this is what I was told was normal by my car dealer. This is stupid to the point of being dangerous--an illuminated display that states: Passenger air bag off lights when the seat is occupied by an adult and the air bag is actually on. An elderly or infirm person might sit in that seat and think that the airbag is off so it is safe. A parent might refuse to let a child sit in the seat for fear the airbag was on. This is really dumb.

I bought a new Honda CRV 2014 model on 10/04/2013. On 10/24/2013, I wore flip flops while going to pick up my son from the school, which is 5 miles away from my home. My leg got stuck and I couldn't move my leg from gas pedal to apply brakes, as I entered the school premises. Car started to accelerate as my flip flop got stuck in the groove between plastic and metal trim next to the gas pedal. I swerve of the road and hit a tree to avoid collision with the vehicle in front of me. I think there is an issue with the way the trim is designed in Honda CRV 2014 models. If someone wearing a flip flop"S while driving, it can get stuck in the trim and cause fatal accidents. I didn"T see this issue in older model years of CRV. My family is traumatized by the accident and very scared to sit or travel in the car. I was fortunate to come out of it without any major injuries but this may not be the case for others.
