2013 HONDA CR-V Complaints

HEAVY VIBRATION IN GREAR WHEN COME TO A STOP ....FEELING VIBRATION ON THE SEAT...TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP SAY THEY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THER NO FIX FROM HONDA AT THIS TIME....DEALER STATE LOT OF CUSTOMER HAVE THE SAM COMPLAIN BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME.....

UPON LIGHT ACCELERATION ON A CITY STREET MY CAR VIBRATES QUITE STRONGLY AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS (10-35MPH). I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WITH MY VIN# AND THEY DENY ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND HOW HONDA IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS OR FIX THE ISSUE. I HOPE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL SOON BECAUSE THIS AMOUNT OF VIBRATION MAKES ME FEEL AS IF THERE IS A LOT OF MECHANICAL WEAR HAPPENING WITH EVERY ACCELERATION AND THAT THE CAR COULD FAIL AT ANY MOMENT.

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN THEN ADVISED THE OWNER TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WOULD RECUR. THE OWNER FOUND THIS ADVICE TO BE UNACCEPTABLE AND QUESTIONED WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN THEN ELEVATED THE ISSUE TO THE MANAGER, WHO WAS ABLE TO ISOLATE A TROUBLE CODE. THE OWNER WAS INFORMED THAT NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW WHAT THE TROUBLE CODE MEANT, AND THAT THE DEALER WOULD HAVE TO CONSULT WITH HONDA CORPORATE FOR GUIDANCE. THE OWNER WAS THEN INFORMED THAT HONDA CORPORATE RECOMMENDED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER STEERING RACK. THIS REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AT SIGNIFICANT COST TO THE OWNER. NEITHER THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS NOR THE ASSOCIATED TROUBLE CODE WERE RECORDED ON THE WORK DOCUMENTATION PRESENTED TO THE OWNER. THE VEHICLE STEERING FELT STIFF AFTERWARDS, THEN TWICE EXHIBITED A FAILURE MODE IN WHICH THE STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING SYSTEM APPEARED TO HIT A PREMATURE HARD STOP PART WAY INTO A LOW-SPEED TURN, FORCING THE VEHICLE WIDE. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS NEARLY RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS, BUT THE OWNER QUICKLY SPUN THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARDS CENTER, THEN BACK INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN. THE PROCESS OF RE-CENTERING THE STEERING WHEEL APPEARED TO TEMPORARILY CLEAR THE PREMATURE HARD STOP, AND THE OWNER WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED DURING LOW-SPEED TURNS (ROUGHLY 10MPH) ON LOCAL STREETS AND PARKING LOTS IN THE AUSTIN AREA. REPAIR INVOICE FOR THE POWER STEERING RACK AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THIS COMPLAINT WAS FILED BY A FAMILY REPRESENTATIVE ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER.

AWD LIGHT WENT ON FOR TWO DAYS. LIGHT THEN STAYED OFF. TOOK IT TO HONDA, THEY WANT TO REPLACE SOLENOID ASSEMBLY.

I HAVE HUM INSTALLED. I KEEP GETTING "ISSUES WITH BATTERY" . YOUR CAR MAY NOT START DUE TO LOSS OF CHARGE IN BATTERY. I AM DISABLED AND CANNOT AFFORD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE. THANK YOU I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA OF WHEN THIS OCURRED, BUT DID HAVE NEW BATTERY INSTALLED FOR $ 169.00 AT DEALERSHIP AND STILL GETTING WARNING FROM HUM.

THE HEAT -SYSTEM HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. THIS INCLUDES THE WINDSHIELD DEFROST MODE THAT DOES NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD FOR SAFE VISIBILITY. . HOT AIR WILL ONLY BLOW OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS AND COLD AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS. THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST ENOUGH FOR GOOD SAFE VISIBILITY. HONDA CORP.AND DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON 2012 TO 2017 MODELS AND IS AVOIDING ANY RECALL OR OFFER TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US TO GET THIS FIXED SO THESE CARS ARE SAFE TO DRIVE IN COLD MONTHS. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON MARCH 11, 2017, I WAS TRAVELING FROM FORT LAUDERDALE TO NAPLES FLORIDA ON INTERSTATE 75. I HAD THE CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL AND TRAVELING AROUND 70 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS WHEN THE CAR'S ENGINE DEACCELERATED THE CAR SEVERELY. I PRESSED AND LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AS THE CAR CONTINUE TO DEACCELERATE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH AN 18-WHEELER. A SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCE HAS ALSO OCCURRED BUT AT 10-20 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT AND NEEDING TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS TO CONTINUE. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN BUT DOES NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. IF THE HIGH SPEED CONDITION OCCURS AGAIN, I WILL NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO STOP THE CAR'S ENGINE FROM SEVERELY DEACCELERATING THE CAR.

I AM HOPING, THAT BY BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION, SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE POOR HEADLIGHTS ON HONDA CRVS.. WE HAVE HAD MANY 1990-1991 HONDA ACCORDS THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH HEADLIGHTS. WE HAVE A 2006 HONDA CRV, AND NOW OWN A 2013 HONDA CRV. THE HEADLIGHT LAMPS WOULD BURN OUT OFTEN ON THE 2006 CRV FIGURING THE AGE AND ABOUT 250,000. BUT ON CHECKING OUT POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR OUR 2013 LACK OF GOOD LIGHTING AT NIGHT, I FOUND THESE BLOGS ON THE LINKS BELOW. SO THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AND THE SAFETY ISSUE IS A BIG ONE! DO WE NEED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE YET A DEATH TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF? THE 2013 HEADLIGHTS DON'T GO OUT FAR ENOUGH ON LOW BEAM AND I DON'T USE HIGH BEAM OFTEN AS IT ONLY SHOWS THE REFLECTOR LIGHTS AND THE ROAD IS DARK IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE! WE LIVE IN DEER COUNTRY. AND GOD FORBID A HUMAN SHOULD BE IN THE ROAD AND NOT SEEN AS A RESULT OF HIGH BEAMS OR LOW BEAMS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. UNDERSTAND THAT WHERE I LIVE IT CAN GET DARK AT 5.00 P.M. AT NIGHT DURING THE WINTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION ON THIS.

ON COLD START THE ENGINE MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 28,500 MILES ON THE CAR.

THE HEATER CORE IS CLOGGED AND NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH TSB 14-063. GETTING THE CRV TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND DRIVING HUNDREDS OF MILES HAS NO AFFECT GETTING HEAT. THE LACK OF HEAT POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO EXTREME FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING. IT MAKES IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WHILE LEAVING ALL OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE FROZEN. THIS KNOWN HEATER CORE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER HONDA NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY.
