Long list of concerns you should be aware of after 4 years of owning, I don't own this vehicle anymore it got that bad. If you want to visit the dealership regularly then this is the car for you. I was very up to date on my maintaince for this CRV but the issues it had were beyond regular maintenance. Very disappointed is a supposed to be dependable Honda, very much not. The bad- TPMS light on a lot, Fautly VTC makes grinding noises 3 seconds on start up in the cold, vibrations in the drivetrain and brakes all the time, cars computer needing multiple updates to stop transmission slips and jerks, very uncomfortable I needed a special pillow to help my back, brake rotors needing to replace 2-3 times a year along with alignments. The list goes on and on, do yourself a favor and research and don't read most of the reviews on sites are only lies on what this car is like. Honda is very overrated and not the same as it was many years ago.

I bought my wife's Honda 2014 CR-V new in October of 2014. We are both quite happy with the car, with one significant exception. The TPMS does not work. In 2014 Honda changed their TPMS from the conventional system which uses pressure sensors in the wheels. Instead, it compares the revolutions of the tires on the theory that a low tire will rotate faster than a normally inflated tire. This is a good idea in theory. However, in practice it does not work. The software must account for the fact that the tires do not rotate equally on turns. Also, slight (and acceptable) differences in pressure or tire wear will result in errors that the software must deal with. Honda issued TSB 14-006 in an attempt to remedy the problem, but if it has been applied to our car it has not worked. The TPMS light on our CR-V is unreliable. It occasionally lights when the tires are ok, but has failed to indicate low or flat tires for us several times.

My wife went to the dealer in Prescott, AZ, this morning to ask whether TSB 14–006 has been applied to the car. The reply was that there is no recall and if the TPMS light does not stay on, there is no need to do it.

We can live with a non-functional TPMS system. Our previous cars worked well without it. Our normal maintenance procedures require checking tire pressures periodically. For some reason this car does not pull to the side when a tire goes flat. A TPMS should flag a tire failure when on the road. Three times we have had a tire fail while driving, with no TPMS indication. Our loss has been only three tires; no accident resulted. In my opinion this is potentially a serious safety problem.

The tire warning light goes on frequently to indicate a problem with the tire pressure, yet upon having it shipped either at the dealer or any tire service center, the tire pressure is OK and then really reset the warning light. I have noticed online that perhaps a software update might be a fix, or at least that’s what people have been told. The same people are saying that the fix has not been completely successful as the problem still occurs but maybe not as frequently. This malfunction of the warning light system has occurred on my vehicle probably 5 to 6 times per year. It is annoying in the sense that you want to do stuff to be sure there’s not something wrong with the tires and then each time there is nothing wrong. It seems to me that this is a problem that Honda should be defined in light of the huge number of Honda owners. It could become a safety issue if people begin to assume the light is malfunctioning and that there is not a tire problem and then one day there may be a tire problem that has been ignored and an accident occurs

I purchased this pre-owned car with warranty, the Santa Monica dealer sold it to me with the plug, we didn't know about it until we had the sensor go off. Reseda Dealer says that we had put the plug on the tire and that because of the plug we need to replace it. There are plenty of complaints about this sensor and dealer is trying to avoid replacing it by saying that sensor goes off because of the plug!

I'm going to corporate for this, I have taken the car 3 times to the dealer and always get a different excuse!

I have owned 2014 CR-V for 3 & half years since it was new. the indirect TPMS warning system has NEVER been correct, it ALWAYS gives false readings. When I picked up a nail in one tire, the warning light never came on even though the tire pressure dropped by over 50%. When the warning light does come on, I check all tires and they are all fine - EVERY TIME. After multiple frustrating trips to dealer, the best they could do was a software update. Now instead of false warnings 3 -4 times a month, now I get false warnings 3 - 4 times a

year. But the warnings are ALWAYS false! Like the little boy that keeps crying wolf, this system is counter productive in that owners will begin to ignore the warning system altogether.

Before I could pay my first car note, the TPS light came on. I brought my car back to the Honda dealership and all they did was reset it. Every time I get on the interstate, the light comes on. Honda has reprogrammed my computer three different times at two different dealerships, yet the light continues to come on. Blake, at the dealership where I bought the car, told me to "Ignore the light. We know that there is a problem with it, and basically, 10 years ago, this wasn't even an option on cars". So I did ignore it, when it came on, and instead of pulling over to check the tire pressure, as I did all of the previous times, I ignored it until I got home, which was less than 2 miles from when it originally came on. I had only 10# of air in my tire, when the light finally came on. Now the dealership is telling me that the light is coming on because my back tires need to be changed...but keep in mind, 10# of air left in the tire before it came on when I was driving on a city street, as opposed to it constantly coming on when I drive on the interstate. I was also told that it was because the tread was different on the front tires from the back tires. Yet, 10# before the light came on, on city streets. I am VERY disappointed in the service I have received and also the quality of the vehicle. All I get from Honda is the runaround because they refuse to fix a known problem that has been documented several times at both dealerships in this area. This was my 4th Honda; not seeing that I will have an urge to buy a 5th.

Update from Feb 10, 2017: I definitely was sold a brand new, $26,000 lemon from the dealership.
