ENGINE RATTLES AT COLD START-UP - VTC ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE HONDA DEALER (CRISWELL HONDA, GERMANTOWN MD) DOING THE MAINTENANCE SAYS THAT I HAVE GONE PAST THE WARRANTY. BUT I HAVE BEEN THERE MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SERVICE BEFORE AND MENTIONED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY DID NOT FIX IT OR EXPLAINED TO ME THE ISSUES. THEY ARE CHARGING ME $800 NOW FOR THIS. BASED ON CURRENT SEARCH IN GOOGLE, THIS IS WHAT I FIND.

HEAT ON LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE DOES NOT BLOW OUT HOT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DIAGNOSED PROBLEM WITH THE 2012-2014 HONDA CR-V. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALL. EXPECT MORE OUT OF A HONDA WITH 65,000 MILES! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DEFROSTER WILL NOT DEFROST THE WINDOW....

DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT WAS BLOWING SLIGHTLY WARM WHILE PASSENGER SIDE WAS HOT HAD TO PAY OVER300 TO GET THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED WHEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE MODELS WAS SOLD THIS WAY FROM A HONDA DEALER THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE WINDOW IS UNABLE TO CLEARLY DEFROST THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED PAST 40 MPH, THE VIBRATION DISAPPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,800.

AT 40 MPH VEHICLE RUMBLES. IT ALSO FEELS ROUGH RIDE, FEELS BUMPY ON A SMOOTH ROAD. ALSO GIVES AT IDLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE THIS FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME BUT IT HAS BEEN RESCINDED. ROSS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS

THIS CHRONIC ISSUE STARTED WITH A SLOW CRANK AND THEN A NO START AND AAA REPLACED THE BATTERY ON 3/6/16. TWO WEEKS AGO ON AUGUST 23RD THE CAR WOULD NOT START IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I JUMPED THE BATTERY AND THEN HAD AAA TEST THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE CHARGING SYSTEM, LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR AS IT WAS CHARGING THE BATTERY INTERMITTENTLY. THEY JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AT BILL PAGE HONDA. THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR IN WARRANTY AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ON SEPTEMBER 6TH THE CAR HAD A SLOW CRANK AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 7TH THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO HONDA AND THEY ARE PRESENTLY INSISTING THAT THE ISSUE IS A DEAD BATTERY. HOWEVER, IF THE BATTERY WAS FINE TWO WEEKS AGO AND THE ISSUE IS KNOWN TO BE WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM, IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE CONCERN IS NOT THE BATTERY, BUT THE SYSTEM THAT REGULATES THE ALTERNATOR'S CHARGING OF THE BATTERY ITSELF. THE VEHICLE IS IN WARRANTY, HOWEVER, MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER BE IN WARRANTY WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS AGAIN IF THE BATTERY IS JUST REPLACED (I AVERAGE ABOUT 2 YEARS ON A BATTERY). ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS A DIAGNOSIS OF EXCLUSION AND ALL OTHER THINGS MUST BE RULED OUT BEFORE YOU CAN DETERMINE THE ACTUAL CAUSE.

RATTLE NOISE ON COLD START UP. VTC ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AFTER 10;000 MILES. FROM MY READING AND SPEAKING TO SEVERAL AUTO MECHANICS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA OF AMERICA HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM ADEQUATELY. I THINK A RECALL OF THIS ENGINE OR AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE REQUIRED.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I DEPRESS THE EX THE CAR VIBRATES , AND FEELS LIFE IF IT WILL CUT OF NO ONE CAN FINE THE PROBLEM AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS , AND NO CODES COME UP WHEN SCAN
