2013 HONDA CRV SHAKES AT SPEED 30-45 MPH DURING ACCELERATION. SHAKES SOMETIMES GOES AWAY WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED MOMENTARILY AND GAS IS REAPPLIED.

ON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY, ESPECIALLY COLD DAYS, THE ENGINE MAKES A LOUD GRINDING/RATTLING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THERE ISN'T A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. IT CLAIMS THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND DOESN'T HURT THE ENGINE. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE OIL DRAINS FROM THE PART OVERNIGHT AND THE "NOISE" IS CAUSED BY LACK OF OIL TO THAT PART. AS SOON AS THE PART GETS OIL IT STOPS. (ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS) ACCORDING TO RESEARCH I'VE DONE ON THE INTERNET, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITHOUT A FIX AND IS SOMEWHAT COMMON. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL AND DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM UNTIL LATE FALL. IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO PROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM.SHAME ON HONDA. I'VE OWNED HONDA CARS AND HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO HONDA FOR 25 YEARS, BUT NO LONGER.

THERE IS A TSB OUT THAT SAYS THE FLUIDS NEED TO BE CHANGED AND A SOFTWARE UPDATE APPLIED. THE ORIGINAL SYMPTOM IS THE VEHICLE SHUDDER AT START OF ACCELERATION AND DURING SHIFTS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD. PAID FOR SERVICE STILL HAVE PROBLEM HONDA DEALER IN HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA 2 DAYS AFTER SERVICE STILL SAME PROBLEM. WENT BACK TO DEALER TELLS US ITS TORQUE CONVERTER BUT NOT COVERED. QUESTION IS WHY DIDN'T THEY TEST V DRIVE VEHICLE AFTER SERVICE WORK. BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS TO TEST DRIVE USED CRV BETWEEN MODEL TREAT 2012 TO 2014 ALL HAVE SAME ISSUES. CAR TRAVELS 80 PERCENT CITY STREETS ALONG SAME ROUTE PAST THIS HONDA DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES DAILY. CHECKED SEVERAL HONDA FORUMS AND VARIOUS YEARS ALL POSTING ISSUES DOES NOT MATTER IF LX EX EXL OR 2WD OR AND MODELS EVERYONE POSTS SANE ISSUES. HAVRE EVEN RETIRED DRIVING PINKY ECO MODE OR NORMAL MODE SAME ISSUE SO SOFTWARE UPDATE AND FLUID CHANGE RESOLVED NO ISSUES.

BATTERY ISSUE ,IT DIE WITH OUT NO RISEN ,THE THE TRIPLE AAA TEST [ CHARGING SYSTEM TEST] NO PROBLEM .IT HAPPEN SO MANY TIMES .WHAT CAN I DO?

A SQUIRREL ATE THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD WASHER HOSES. I GOT THE HOSES REPLACED, THEN 3 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. ONE TIME I WAS MOVING WHEN I DISCOVERED I HAD NON-FUNCTIONING WASHERS, AND THE OTHER TIME IT WAS WHILE MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR THE SOY-BASED COATING HONDA USES, WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER PRETENDED HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION, EVEN THOUGH HONDA MAKES A RODENT-DETERRENT TAPE FOR THIS VERY REASON. ALTHOUGH THE SAFETY FACTOR WAS MINIMAL DUE TO NEVER KNOWING WHETHER I HAVE FUNCTIONING WINDSHIELD WASHERS UNLESS I TEST THEM EACH TIME I TURN ON THE CAR, I HAVE READ ABOUT HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD RODENTS EAT THROUGH THEIR MAIN HARNESSES.

TSB A15-086 DESCRIBES TRANSMISSION ISSUE OF VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2 AND 3 GEARS UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION.

I'VE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THE VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEM O THIS SITE AND AMERICAN HONDA WITH ZERO SATISFACTION. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND I GET CONFLICTING INFORMATION FROM MY DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT NUMBER WAS 10783068. UPON RE-INQUIRING WITH AMERICAN HONDA THEY'VE INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN WHICH AGAIN IS INCORRECT BASED ON DEALERSHIP FEEDBACK. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO PERMIT ME THE ABILITY TO SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER CARE SUPERIOR OR TO SHARE WITH ME THE ACTUAL RESOLUTION OF OTHER KNOWN VTC ACTUATOR PROBLEMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND DETEREMINE EXACTLY WHY HONDA IS BEING PERMITTED TO IGNORE THIS KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD PROBLEM?
