Since this car has been purchased several times, it wouldn’t start. We thought the battery was dead. We’ve had it serviced several times while it was under warranty and at different mechanics with no avail. However, a Honda certified mechanic had told me it’s showing the same symptoms as the fuel filter recall and I just want to make y’all aware that this is happening in the 2014 as well you will be driving and then suddenly there’s no power you can’t turn the ignition to turn it back on trying to steer safely off the road is ridiculous and it’s usually on a highway. Even when you press the gas pedal to rub up the engine only once has it came back on. All the mechanics I’ve talked to said that sounds like fuel injection or fuel issue to the ignition, but they don’t seem to find a problem through the OEM reader. This has happened and all seasons so far as well. Please please please investigate some of this. I do not want to drive fearfully with this going on and I know I can’t be the only one I’ve searched it online. I love this car. It was my mother‘s car. It’s a 2014 and I just broke 100,000 miles on it.

My 2014 Honda CRV 's entire sunroof glass shattered while parked in the sun. You can see from the images I've attached below that was no impact or other cause Please let me know what steps I can take to have the Honda dealership service department repair and address this issue. As of now, the shattered glass has not fallen into the car but I'm scared that it will anytime. I can feel the sharp edges of the glass as I run my finger on the glass. Thank you for your assistance, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am the original owner of 2014 Honda CRV , color of the car is Pearl White, NH-603 PX, right after manufacturing guarantee, paint started to peel, top, back door, complete passenger side. Paint is bubbling and peeling off. I see many same issues on Honda CRV on the road. I believe this is a quality issue and if there is a defected paint, it can be other defective parts too. I called Honda dealer many times and raised this issue and answer was “there is no recall”. I went to multiple body paint centers, they all confirmed that Honda CRV Pearl White paint is defected paint, didn’t sticked to the body properly.

Goodday, I bought the car a month ago from a dealer on terms. The first time i drove car and turning right its sounds like the wheel or something is about to break off. Like maybe the axel. Extremly loud. Scary loud. No matter speed, turning right does this. I returned car to dealer. They say the router had rust and was corrected. I dont drive the car alot, but again today its making that noise. That pedestrians look worried.

This make and model Honda with a 2.4L engine have several known defects which brings potential harm and high operational and repair costs to its owners. Honda is well aware of the engine problems but refuses to issue recalls to correct the problem. Two of the major problems are: 1. due to a design error, the engine burns excessive amounts of oil, and 2. Honda installed a defective VTC Actuator in this engine. Either problem can cause the engine to suddenly sieze/fail which could lead to serious injury or loss of life. I purchased a used 2014 Honda CR-V from a Honda dealer in 2022 with about 50,000 mi. After a short time owning the vehicle I realized that the engine was burning excessive oil (about 2 quarts every 2 to 3 weeks). When I discussed this issue with my local Honda dealer, they told me that according to a Honda Service Bulliten, my car was not losing oil at a rate that warranted repair. I've owned around 10 Hondas in my life and I've never had a car burn oil where I had to add ANY oil between oil changes. So, burning multiple quarts of oil a month is EXTREMELY UNUSUAL and should have been repaired by Honda! The 2nd problem, defective VTC Actuators, actually may be related to the 1st problem due to a constant fluctuation of the oil level, and lack of oil. The defective VTC Actuators lead to a stretched/worn Timing Chain which can cause engine failure at any time and any place. After experiencing a loud rattling coming from my engine on start-up for some time, I just had several dashboard lights come on. Running a scan on the vehicle it showed a P0341 code. I took my car to my local Honda Dealer where they informed my that I had to replace the stretched Timing Chain and failed/defective VTC Actuator at a cost of over $2600. I believe that fraud was committed by Honda from the day I purchased the vehicle as Honda was aware of both significant engine problems and did not inform us a unexpecting Buyers.
