Mileage when the problem started
Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2014 Honda CR-V owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
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. …
Purchased our 2014 CR-V [redacted], used one owner, 55301 mileage. Very little driving the next three years due to the pandemic. Summer of 2023 we were driving from Buffalo to [redacted] , first 30 miles, severe hesitation, amber lights on, until reaching 70mph. Hesitation stopped but lights stayed on. By August the TPMS indicator, malfunction indicator lamp and other lights came on, again. We reset according to the manual, but this was just the beginning of this process happening over and over again. During dealer testing Code PO 341 came up. Had it tested at another place before taking it to West Herr Honda and was told needed Timing chain replacement with VTC. This was done at a cost of $2232.06 with car mileage of 63159. We were sad and disappointed. Research shows that Honda is very much aware of over 500 plus recorded problems with the 2014 CR-V not to mention unreported problems. …
Yo compre este carr9 desde el principle salio con problems ellos no quieren arreglarlo ni devolverme los 5 mil dollars que di de deposito. Translation-I bought this car from the beginning, it came out with problems, they don't want to fix it or give me back the 5 thousand dollars I gave as a deposit.
Oil Dilution (gas mixing with oil) caused engine to overheat, making my car abruptly breakdown on a busy interstate and we were nearly rear ended because of it. Now I need a full engine replacement. Car is low mileage.
Engine caught fire in my 2014 Honda CR-v while I was driving to work the morning of January 19, 2017. I purchased the CR-v new in early 2015. At the time of the engine fire there was 49,585 miles on the vehicle. The only work ever completed on the CR-v were timely oil and filter changes, and tire rotations. There was not any suggested or required work that was not completed. There was nothing unusual with the car, no noises, no odors, and I was the last person to drive the vehicle prior to this day. Forensics report concluded that the fire originated in the engine compartment in and around the fuel system. At 8:50 am on Thursday morning January 19, 2017 I left my home in nj to travel to work 14 miles away. In leaving home the CR-v started normal. I was about 10 minutes into the typical 45 minute drive. I was driving on a two lane highway. …
Entering a parking space at a local cvs the car self accelerated to a very high speed. The car charged forward . The brakes could not stop the car until it slammed into 2 parked cars on the other side of the store entrance.also, the safety bags did not open. The car was like a raging bull. The car went over 1 parking block crossing over the front of the store ,over another block before stopping.. The accelerator went berserk without any foot on the gas pedal. I am unable to scan any reports electronially
The engine does not respond (intermittently) to the throttle. This makes for a very dicey situation when turning across oncoming traffic or accelerating from a full stop, e.g., a traffic signal. To overcome the problem, you have to quickly let up on the accelerator pedal and just as quickly apply pressure to the pedal to get the engine to respond. During these episodes the engine is just idling. I took the car to a dealership which performed diagnostics. The answer was the typical one that you receive from a dealership: 'we couldn't duplicate the problem". From postings on the internet, this has been a problem for years with Honda vehicles. In fact a dealership service writer told me that his brother has a Honda which has had the same problem almost from the day he purchased it. I'm not just imagining this. …
My crv is 16 months old; I parked in my new garage and on the next day I start the car and fuel is pouring out of the tank or fuel system or fuel pump. I shut down the car due to the pollution it could have casued. I called the dealer on Monday and had it towed. They tell me that a critter must have chewed through the line. How could this be. This is just another scam by Honda to cover all the recall costs they are having to deal with. My gas tank could have exploded because if was steaming on the undercarriage. My car has only 34,000 miles and this is them trying to get out of a $1,000 plus charge to me. Please help me; I have called Honda but no one is returning my calls and does not seem to care. This is a very dangerous and serious problem.
This is the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven. The front seat cannot be adjusted to my comfort....it does not stay up...I need to sit high and it is impossble to make it stay up because of where the lever to adjust it is. I really do not like the car at all, but the most annoying thing is not being able to see over the steering wheel. I have have been back to my dealership and they just blew it off...not thier problem...I would think there should be something that could be done. It is rough riding which I think is because of the tires on the car which I cannot afford to replace...I have 16,000 unhappy miles on the car. The car was puchaed new in 2013...it is a 2014.
Mileage 20630. Had just returned home and parked in the driveway. Sudden strong odor of raw gasoline and vehicle quit running. I found a large pool of gas just ahead of the left rear wheel. I moved the left rear seat to expose the fuel pump housing and found a pool of gas around the top of the gas tank at the fuel pump. I found a hole had worn through the hard plastic fuel line about 6 inches from the pump caused by rubbing on the underside of the rear seat metal frame. I repaired the holed area of the fuel line with the proper hard plastic fuel line repair kit.
