2013 HONDA CR-V Complaints

CAR STUTTERS AT LOW SPEEDS (APPROX 20-30MPH). THIS COULD CAUSE A COLLISION IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED.

I STARTED MY CRV ON 10/23/19 AND STARTED ON MY WAY TO WORK. WHEN I GOT ABOUT 200 YARDS I NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LIGHTS WERE. I CALLED SCHLOSSMANN HONDA CITY MILWAUKEE, WI, ASKED FOR SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I WANTED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I EXPLAINED WHAT LIGHTS WERE ON THE DASH AND INDICATED THEY JUST CAME ON THIS MORNING. THEY SAID THAT I COULD DROP OFF THE CAR THAT AFTERNOON. DROPPED OFF CAR ON 10/23/19 AT 3:45PM. LEFT JESSICA LANGE CALLED ME BACK AT 5:00PM AND TOLD ME THE TIMING BELT HAD TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE IT WAS STRETCHED. THIS HAPPENS. COST TO HAVE THIS DONE WAS $1988.34. I ONLY HAVE 50988 MILES ON MY CRV. THE COST WAS OUTRAGEOUS. I AM 58 AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A TIMING CHAIN WITH THIS FEW MILES. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HONDA NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS MODELS AND NEVER FIXED IT. I DO LOVE MY HONDA BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AND WILL GET RID OF THIS ONE BEFORE I REACH 100,000 MILES. HOPEFULLY THE REPLACEMENT TIMING CHAIN WILL LAST THAT LONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK DURING ACCELERATION. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE AXLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIORITY HONDA (621 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757) 213-6600) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER SPECULATED THAT THE AXLE COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

DURING A COLD START-UP THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. HAD IT BACK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ADVISED THEY DIDN'T HEAR IT. THE VTC ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE APPARENTLY FROM PRIOR COMPLAINTS. THE SECOND ISSUE THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE ON THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS. NOT SURE IF I NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE.

THE CRV EXHIBITS A LOUD RATTLE FROM THE VALVE COVER. THE NOISE COMES ON EVERYTIME THE AC COMPRESSOR KICKS ON. DEALER REPLACED VTC ACTUATOR WITH NO RESULTS. THEN DEALER REPLACED AUTO BELT TENSIONER WITH NO RESULTS. NOISE IS LOUD AND TURNS PEOPLES HEADS AS I BACK UP OR TAKE OFF. IVE READ MANY SIMILAR STORIES FROM OTHER CRV OWNERS. DEALERS UNABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. THER CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRANNON HONDA (300 GADSDEN HWY, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35235) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

SINCE 2013 I HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR PASSENGERS SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENT, THIS OCCURS AT ANY TIME SITTING , DRIVING ON SIDE ROADS, HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT COULD COME ON TODAY AND NOT HAPPEN FOR A DAY OR SO.THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM AND AFTER REPLACING THE SEAT FRAME AND SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR IT IS STILL COMING ON. NEED YOUR HELP IN GETTING A FIX AS MY WIFE IS SCARED WHEN IN THE CAR.THE LAST WORD FROM HONDA CARE IS THIS IS NORMAL, IF THIS IS TRUE THEN ALOT OTHER HONDA CRVS SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. MY WIFE IS 5'2 AND WEIGHTS MORE THEN 65LBS OR 29 KILOS SO THAT ANSWER WON'T HOLD UP. TALKING WITH DEALERSHIP IN JAPAN THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE SRS AS THIS CAN CAUSE A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. I/AM WILLING TO GO HIGHER UP THE CHAIN FOR A FIX WHAT EVER IT MY BE AS I DO NOT BELIEVE MY CAR IS THE ONLY ONE WITH IS PROBLEM. I HAVE RECORDS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 YEARS.

TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN 25 TO 30 MPH. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVER TAKE OFF. IT HAPPEN WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR IF I HAVE SLOWED DOWN BELOW 25 MPH AND AS I EXHILARATE THE TRANSITION JERKS BETWEEN 25 TO 30 MPH.

WHEN CAR IS IDLE OVERNIGHT OR LONG PERIODS, STARTING THE CAR, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD HONDA IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS PROBLEM. WAS TOLD IT'S THE VTC ACTUATOR.

LOW BEAMS DO NOT REMAIN ON WHEN HIGH BEAMS ARE ACTIVATED, LEAVING POOR VISIBILITY NEAR THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.
