honda cr-v 2014 Complaints
SUSPENSION
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.

the tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) warning light came on while driving on freeway. took car to dealer who checked tires and did not find a problem. dealer reset/recalibrated tpms by pressing button. drove car for another 300 miles and tpms warning light came on again. personally checked pressure in all tires with a manual tire pressure gauge. all four tire pressures were within spec at 33 psi. i reset/recalibrated the tpms by pressing button. read on the internet that other 2014 honda cr-v owners are having the same problem. honda does not have a fix for this problem. the tpms warning can not be relied on because it gives false indications. i understand that the tpms on the 2014 honda cr-v is an indirect system. there are no actual pressure sensors. it uses the wheel speed/rotation sensors to determine when there is a tire pressure problem. the computer indicates a problem based on different speeds/rotation of the wheels. i don't know if the sensors are the problem or if it is the computer software.

2014 honda crv was delivered with 233 miles on odometer. within 6 miles of leaving the dealership the tire pressure monitoring (tpm) light had come on indicating one or more of the tires was low on air. our salesperson had already warned us about this during the walk through at the dealership telling us there is no need for us to pull over because more than likely there is no problem. being an informed consumer we were already aware that honda has a serious problem with their tpm system on the 2014 model. it simple does not work. it cries wolf and can not be trusted. after resetting the light it will continually return and have to be reset within 50 miles or less of in town driving. alternately we reset it before a 240 miles round trip hwy drive and the tpm light did not come on during the entire hwy trip. the purpose of the government mandating tpm in all new cars was two fold. first for fuel economy, second for safety. since the tpm light provides false alarms every week, it does not accomplish either goal. we have had no formal response from honda acknowledging there is a problem or that they are working on a fix. there is a forum with 200 posts on the 2014 problems at this direct address: http://www.crvownersclub.com/forums/14-problems-issues/27802-2014-tpm-problems.html.

the tire pressure monitoring sensor is constantly appearing on the dashboard. the car has less then 1,000 miles and the dashboard tpms has come on over a dozen times. i have had the car tires checked five times and the pressure is fine. there is something wrong with the tpms system. i have called honda customer services and have been told by a case manager that there is something wrong and the engineers are working on a software fix. no time for this fix has been advertised. it is very disconcerting to be driving with this light on and not knowing whether it's a true tire pressure issue. i hope that this is resolved quickly.

i bought at 2014 crv end of sept/oct of 2013. upon the first snow fall i drove the vehicle and had immediate problems. the car was not getting any traction, it was sliding around going down hills and upon trying to drive up hills it would stop without even trying to go up. it would stop and wheels would spin, the rear end spun to the side and i could not get anywhere. the amber awd lights came on and flashed, combination of both scenarios. i finally got it into the dealership as the problem got worse. the rear differential has been deemed defective (overheating issue to point of almost glowing and fluid overheated). the other problem i have had is that if the car was put into 1st or 2nd gear to aid slowing down on a hill, even from a stopped position, it would not respond. the car sped up going down the hill in first gear to approximately 40mph even with the brake on, which would not engage and the anti-lock brakes were engaging and not even trying to stop the vehicle. the car behaved the same even if on flat ground that had even a dusting of snow or even a little gravel. the dealership gave me a courtesy 2014 same year as mine, it drove much better and much safer than mine performed after the first 2 days. i feel the car has more issues than just the differential and is a major safety hazard as the last 1-2 weeks the car has had no control in anything other than dry roads. it has almost wrecked more than once due to these issues. this vehicle is 3.5 months old and had under 10,000 miles on it and all of this has gone wrong since the beginning.

i bought my new 2014 honda crv direct from dealer. after three days i brought back the crv because the tire pressure light went on. i brought it back to dealer and said it was because of the cold weather.. they reset the guide. ok for the next two days, then it went back on again. i brought it back and was told that honda was aware of the problem and that they were working on a fix... that was back in december!!! this is a brand new 2014!!! i asked the service man to write that down for me, so i have it on record. as of today, january 30th, my light remains on. i would like to add, that i had a flat tire and was stuck on the road at night...because i didn't pay attention to the tire light on my dashboard!!!!!!! i want this fixed! i thought i was buying a safe reliable car ..honda has a good reputation, ... someone dropped the ball, and the american consumer is paying the price!!! pls... pls fix this problem. may not seem like a terrible thing, but i didn't pay $30,000 for a slight mistake.

i purchased the car in november, 2013. since december, while driving on the freeway, the low pressure sensor light for the tires keeps coming on (the sensor has come on over ten times). this has now happened on three different trips between southern and northern california and it seems to come on about every 200 miles. i have gotten off the freeway and had the tires checked and they are all ok. i have taken the car back to the dealer three times and they tell me that honda is aware of the problem. i purchased a honda for its safety rating. this is a serious safety issue as i was told by the dealer to "ignore the sensor light" until they get this fixed. what if the tire pressure really is low? honda needs to make the fix for this situation a priority!!!

our tire pressure warning light has been on since we purchased (sept 2013) the vehicle. it came on as we left the dealer ship. we have had it in the honda dealerships service dept 3 times in oakland and each time they reset it and tell us "honda is aware of the issue" and it is a "software issue" that is being addressed. we were told we would get a recall notice after the first of this year (2014). honda is not disclosing the safety issue of a product they have labeled as a safety feature. the internet shows pages of the same issue and complaint. honda needs to make this a higher priority or law suits will be next. we are currently waiting still, not feeling so safe.

the tpms icon (low tire pressure warning) on new honda cr-v (2014) comes on about every 30-50 miles even though, when i check the tire pressures, they are all within 0.5 psi of the recommended (30 psi) settings. in short, the tpms is giving false warnings thus making it impossible to rely on. other honda crv owners, having the same flaw, have given up on the warning as had tire blowouts on the highway. i have taken the car back to the dealer and he simply resets the tpms warning icon ---- and, as soon as i drive 30 miles or so the idiot light comes on. the purpose of mandating the tpms warning was to save lives but, if the icon provides false warnings they will be ignored and blowouts can happen. this defective tpms can result in injuries and accidents. yet honda won't do anything about it.

AIR BAGS
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 purchased a new 2014 honda cr-v awd ex-l with navigation from ray price in east stroudsburg on oct. 12, 2013 for $31,000.00. two days after purchase had car into clinton honda in annandale, nj for tire pressure light. (mileage 143). clinton honda found all tire pressures good and reset light. low tire pressure light keeps coming on about 3 times weekly even though tire pressures were good. went to ray price 12/28/13 (mileage 5027) and explained situation. ray price ran codes, which all came up clear and they reset the tire pressure light again. next day, the tire pressure light came on again. 1/4/14 back to ray price, tire pressure light on again. ran codes again and checked tire pressure again, both were good. the tech said it must be a rf signal and nothing could be done about it. i contacted american honda 1/30/14 and 1/31/14 about issue. american honda stated that they are awaiting a software update for this issue. software update should be released by end of february, but no guarantees. the light has been on close to 90% of the time since we have owned the car. once the light comes on it needs to be reset because it will not go out on its own. having the tire pressure coming on falsely constantly is a major safety issue. ray price contacted me on 2/12/14 stating that the software update was available and made an appointment to bring the car in on 2/14/14. after receiving the car from the appointment i checked the tire pressure and the tires were overinflated by the dealer to 35 psi instead of the manufactures recommended 30 psi. i believe this to be their quick fix for the issue and not an acceptable resolution. overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards, wear unevenly. this is right out of hondas owners manual. my mechanic also says that this also increases the chances of hydroplaning.

(mileage 143). clinton honda found all tire pressures good and reset light. low tire pressure light keeps coming on about 3 times weekly even though tire pressures were good. went to ray price 12/28/13 (mileage 5027) and explained situation. ray price ran codes, which all came up clear and they reset the tire pressure light again. next day, the tire pressure light came on again. 1/4/14 back to ray price, tire pressure light on again. ran codes again and checked tire pressure again, both were good. the tech said it must be a rf signal and nothing could be done about it. i contacted american honda 1/30/14 and 1/31/14 about issue. american honda stated that they are awaiting a software update for this issue. software update should be released by end of february, but no guarantees. the light has been on close to 90% of the time since we have owned the car. once the light comes on it needs to be reset because it will not go out on its own. having the tire pressure coming on falsely constantly is a major safety issue. ray price contacted me on 2/12/14 stating that the software update was available and made an appointment to bring the car in on 2/14/14. after receiving the car from the appointment i checked the tire pressure and the tires were overinflated by the dealer to 35 psi instead of the manufactures recommended 30 psi. i believe this to be their quick fix for the issue and not an acceptable resolution. overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards, wear unevenly. this is right out of hondas owners manual. my mechanic also says that this also increases the chances of hydroplaning.

we bought honda cr-v 2014 on oct 31st 2013. within (first) week low tire pressure light comes on. i thought dealership didn't perform pre delivery inspection. so i went there and they says low tire pressure light triggers due to cold weather. they reset it. after few days/miles again low tire pressure light comes on (second time) and they said this time we are performing different reset procedure. i asked for $0.00 invoice as there attempt to fix the issue. they said we can't give you invoice if we are not charging you. now i was like it should not come on again as they performed different reset procedure, but it comes on again (third time) after 500 or 600 miles. this time they contact american honda and perform another reset procedure and keep car with them for a day to inspect. they also issued $0.00 invoice. now i thought it should be fine, but again i was wrong. it comes on (forth time). now they are saying it's "software issue" and american honda is working on it. (dec end or jan first week) they also said honda is requesting time frame and it should be done by the end of jan 2014. today is feb 19 2014 and issue is not resolved yet. i tried follow up my dealer and honda many times and they are keep saying same thing, we are working on it. since the day i bought car low tire pressure light comes on more than 10 times now and all time i did tire pressure check with same dealer and it was okay all the time. now i am tired of following up with my dealer, honda and keep watching light (!) on. never feel like driving new car. it's a safety issue. when i asked my dealer, who will be responsible if tire blow out while driving? they said its owner's responsibility to keep checking tire pressure. dear honda we didn't bought car to keep in garage. i have most of the mileage proof in pictures at the time light comes on and went to dealer for reset.

my honda crv was broken into while on vacation in florida. i was only about 300 feet away from the car but was not notified by the alarm. i came back to see glass all over the floor, my personal belongings gone from the car. as a previous owner of a newly purchased honda odyssey, i felt that the car had alarm as the key has remote lock and and unlock functions and the car even sounded a familiar arming sound when remotely locked. when i went into a dealer in florida to inquire why the alarm did not work, they told me that the car had passive alarm, which means that the alarm should sound if the glass is broken. upon returning to new york, i went to the dealer where i purchased the car and they told me the car has no alarm, and that the familiar sound is just to indicate to me that all four doors are locked! at no time during the sales transaction was i told that the car has no alarm or that i needed to purchase an alarm.

the day after purchase, the tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) warning light came on indicating a low tire pressure condition. i checked the tire pressure, and recalibrated the system per the owners manual (tire pressure was high from the dealer (@37psi), and was reset to the 30psi factory spec). the light activated again within several days. i took the vehicle to the dealer, and they basically did the same - tire pressure check and system calibration. we have had this issue now for 6 months. after each system calibration and reset, the light will again activate anywhere from 1 day to approximately 10 days - each time the tire pressure has been within the factory specification. the vehicle has been to the dealer about six times for this issue, with no fix. (we were told honda will have a fix by february, 2014). . the (dealer) service advisor manager can't give us any definitive answer on the problem, or solving the problem. my understanding is the low tire pressure monitoring system is a safety mandated feature, and this is an issue with most 2014 honda cr-v's.

within a month of my purchase of new crv 2014 exl, the tpms light turned on(near christmas time). i got it checked from the honda service center, and they at first reset the tpms light manually, and asked me to come back if tpms light turns on. which it did after just 45 miles. then they confirmed honda would be issuing a software patch for this fix. i rechecked in january but still there was no patch issued. i went to another honda service center, thinking it might be a service center issue and there too they told me the same thing, that honda is going to issue a patch. in february when i went for my first servicing they told me the same thing. i checked back again yesterday, but still with no luck. is anyone even working on. its nearly 5 months since i first reported this, but it has gone to deaf ears. it is a safety hazard, not knowing whether the light is on due to a bug or really tire pressure is low. every time i ask a service center representative they would ask whether i was driving bad or putting them in curb or not, instead of even knowing the problem exist. they will ask me to come there at the service center, investigate, reset it manually, and tell me the same thing honda is going to release a fix for this issue. this is a total waste of time. one thing is for sure this would be my first and last honda.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
the exterior low beam head lights work normally as expected when switch is in low beam position. the problem is when the high beam lights are selected. the visibility provided by the low beam lights disappears when the high beams are selected. the visibility on the high beam setting is great 300 feet forward of the car but minimal to none 50 feet in front of the car. this is very dangerous when driving on turnpikes with a posted speed limit of 75 mph. the visibility on high beam selection is so poor it forced me to use only low beams to see the road and objects immediately in front of my vehicle. this eliminated the possibility of seeing animals or other dangers down the road that are normally visible on the high beam setting. it seems like the low beams are turned off when the high beams are selected if so this is a major design flaw that affects safe operation of the vehicle. any other vehicle i've ever owned the high beam lights add more light to the light already being provided by low the beams. this vehicle takes light away on the high beam setting. i hope nhtsa addresses this problem very soon with honda motor corp.

greetings - this is to report multiple incidents / a permanent condition of the vehicle headlights being grossly inadequate. the incident indicated here was first of many occurrence while driving on rural roads, especially in inclement weather. most egregious is that when the high beams are engaged , there is a complete loss of near -field luminance. this is greatly exacerbated in inclement weather and undoubtedly a disaster waiting to happen if it hasn't already. i have driven on the same roads and in the same or worse conditions many times with vehicles i have previously owned with far less problematic visibility. regular low-beam activity is inadequate as well on unlit or low-lit roads. on may 26th i was in rural area that i have been driving in for 15 years for the first time after dark in this vehicle. the lack of visibility was shocking. the fear of a deer or other animal crossing the vehicle's path unseen was go tremendous concern. this is a widely reported issue on internet forums and a recall should be demanded.

since may 27th the tire pressure light comes on every 4-5 days a week. the first time it occurred i utilized the manual to calibrate the system, but then it came on again. i took it to the nearest honda dealership and they checked all of the tires, calibrated the system, and stated that everything seemed okay. another 5 days later the light came on again and i took it back to the dealer, the ran a check through the entire computer tire system and test drove it, so they say, but while heading home the light came back on for the fourth time. i am so sick of this. its very annoying. this malfunction can be safety concern in the long run. after a while, how does the owner determine whether the system is accurately or falsely reporting a problem with the vehicles tires. my crv currently has 1800 miles on it. i will take it to the dealer again for the 3rd time and ask that the sensor be replaced.

this letter is to report my dissatisfaction with my 2014 honda crv’s driver side, outside, rearview mirror. at the least, the distortion of this design is a distraction, at the worst it is clearly a safety issue with the inability of the driver to quickly determine what is being reflected in this mirror. please offer a replacement mirror without the split designed reflecting surface.

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,

this is a supplement to 10615142 filed earlier. the tpms on my cr-v does not work. honda can not keep it operating even after 6-8 shop repairs. while this would be dangerous, i am beginning to wonder if the "electronic stability system". and. the "anti-lock brake system". are also inoperable!!! they would seem to use same "inputs" as tpms ???? this may be far more serious than i first thought it was!!!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
with greater experience with the vehicle since my last report, i am writing to reiterate how extremely deficient the headlights on this vehicle are. in unlit, rural areas, the low beams are inadequate and require the use of fog lights on all the time for increased illumination. when the high-beams are engaged (fog-lights automatically go out), near-field illumination virtually disappears. i have written directly to the ceo of american honda, and included print-outs of numerous reports of this concern which are widely posted on the internet. i subsequently received a phone call from a regional customer service rep. instructing me to take this up with a dealer. i have now done so and the dealer reports this performance is "normal" for this car. i implore your agency to undertake an investigation so that tragedies to not have to occur first before any action is taken by the company. in the meantime, i find myself adjusting travel plans and driving times for the sake of the safety of my family.

want to report the serious and dangerous deficiency in the headlights on our newly purchased '14 honda crv. on low beam, the range of lighting is limited to directly in front of the vehicle with a defined cut-off line. on high beam, it is difficult to almost impossible to see directly in front of the vehicle. we have taken the vehicle back to the dealership where purchased and reported this was dangerous and was going to cause a serious accident. they indicated the headlights were fixed and that it was a design issue. this is dangerous and is going to result in serious accidents if not resolved soon.

since the day i picked up the new cr-v it has had an intermittent problem when trying to accelerate. this is particularly dangerous when trying to change lanes in traffic or avoid another vehicle. it occurs randomly, 3-4 times a day. i will be moving at a moderate speed, 15 to 40 mph, and when i press the accelerator gently, the car slows down!! if i press harder, nothing happens for a few seconds and then it accelerates rapidly! this is very disconcerting. this problem is similar to nhtsa id number 10608235 but occurs only when i am already moving. i've taken the crv to 2 different honda dealers and they test drive it but the problem doesn't happen so they say it must be "normal". it isn't. it's dangerous! someone who actually understands how this vehicle works should be able to figure it out.

my honda crv has a problem with hesitation on acceleration that seems to be caused by the computer safety feature that keeps the engine from accelerating or running away when the brake is applied. this feature has a few second delay between the time the brake is released and the engine accelerating. when this happens while pulling into traffic it could cause an accident. if is especially noticeable while driving on mountain roads where you need to touch the brakes and then accelerate. the vehicle has been taken to sons honda, mcdonough, ga twice and they have found no problem with the car. they have acknowledged that there is a problem but state that they have no answer on how to repair it. i have written to honda regarding this problem but have not head anything from them.
