2013 HONDA CR-V Complaints

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL AT OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. I NOTICE A RATTLING THAT LASTS ABOUT 30 SECONDS AT START UP,IN THE MORNING OR WHEN IS COLD; AFTER THE RATTLING,THE ENGINE SOUNDS NORMAL.

TWICE WHEN I TRIED TO STOP WHILE MOVING SLOWLY ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR'S BRAKES FAILED TO DO SO. ONCE THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.

VTC SPINS AFTER IGNITION STARTS: DEALER STATES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT TO BE ADDRESSED PER HONDA MANUFACTURER POLICY.

HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE JUNE 2015. ALREADY HAVE PURCHASED TWO TENSIONER AND NOW 1 PULLEY. SINCE I HAVE GONE OVER THE WARRANTY IS OVER 12,000, I DRIVE 4K MILES A MONTH. I HAVE IT BACK TO THE SHOP STILL MAKING A STRANGE SOUND WHEN I TAKE OFF AND DRIVE BETWEEN 20-40 MPH. NOW BROUGHT IT BACK SAYING PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN. HOW MANY TIME IS THE PRODUCT GOING TO BE DEFECTIVE. WHATS REALLY HAPPENING

THE CAR MAKES A GRINIDING NOISE WHEN WE START IT. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2015. ON 2/26/2016, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER MECHANIC THAT HNDA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION BUT HASNT FORMULATED A SOULTION. THE HONDA DEALER'S MECHANIC DID GIVE ME A GREAT DESRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND MADE THE STEERING WHEEL EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THEN DIMMED ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,630. UPDATED 05/06/16*LJ *JS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 28 MPH AND COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE CONTACT HAD TO DOWNSHIFT THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO STOP. THIS FAILURE WAS A RECURRING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,400.

THE WEATHER TURNED FRIGID AFTER A UNUSUAL WARM SPELL. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WE STARTED TO GET SOME PRECIPITATION ON THE WIND SHIELD THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DEFROSTER WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD SAFELY CLEAR. HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES TO MANUALLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. ALSO THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM NEW. THEY TOLD US THE DRIVER SIDE HEATER CORE WAS PLUGGED. I WAS ASTONISHED AS TO THE LOW MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE (15,659), AND IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 WEEKS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION BECAUSE OF THE RAPID RATE AT WHICH IT OCCURS. IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING EVERY 12-15K MILES. APPARENTLY AFTER SEARCHING ON LINE I FOUND THIS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN 2012-2013 MODELS. HONDA ALSO HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON HOW TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW. (BULLETIN #14-063). I KNOW HEATER CORES CAN PLUG UP WITHOUT THE PROPER MAINTENANCE AND CONSIDERABLE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FEW MILES DRIVEN BEFORE THIS CAN OCCUR.

MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 34,000 AND I WENT TO START IT AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. IT WOULD NOT TAKE A JUMP, I HAD TO HAD IT TOWED AND IT TURNED OUT IT HAD A DEAD CELL AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE LAST CAR I HAD THE BATTERY WAS OVER 10 YEARS OLD. THIS CAR IS OVER 3 YEARS SO THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON IT. JUST FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO.

WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD, MY CARGO LIFT WILL NOT OPEN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY PRETTY MUCH THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. EVEN MY HUSBAND CAN'T GET THE LIFT TO OPEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD.
