CAR WOULD NOT START. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED, THE ENGINE CRANKED SLOWLY, THEN THE STARTER ONLY CLICKED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN USED REGULARLY (20 MIN DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK) IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT. CAR WAS JUMP STARTED WITH ANOTHER CAR AND IT STARTED UP PROPERLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND IT SEEMS THAT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR 2012 CR-V ALSO APPLIED TO THE 2013 CR-V -- TSB 12-041. HOWEVER, WHEN I HAD SEARCHED THE LIST OF SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE 2013 CR-V, THE ISSUE DIDN'T COME UP ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I THINK THIS SERVICE BULLETIN SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE 2013 CR-V AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
I OPENED THE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE. WHEN THE DOOR OF THE GARAGE OPENED THERE WAS A PLASTIC RECYCLE CAN IN THE MIDDLE OF WHERE THE CAR WAS TO BE PARKED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AFTER PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK TO MOVE THE RECYCLE CAN. I HAD TO GO AROUND THE BACK OF THE CAR TO ENTER THE GARAGE AS A BUSH BLOCKED MY WAY INTO THE GARAGE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AS I WALKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR I PUSHED THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR IN (THE ENTRANCE TO THE GARAGE IS TIGHT WITH THE MIRRORS IN THE EXTENDED POSITION). I WENT INTO THE GARAGE AND WAS PUTTING THE RECYCLE CAN AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME INTO THE GARAGE ON ITS OWN. I THOUGHT I COULD OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR HIT THE BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TOWARD ME AND I COULD SEE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO HIT AN EXTENSION IN THE GARAGE WALL WHERE THE POWDER ROOM WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE. I BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER SIDE DOOR AS I HAD NO ROOM TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE CAR CRASHED INTO THE EXTENSION OF THE WALL AND STOPPED. I WAS QUITE RELIEVED AT THAT POINT AS THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CONTINUED INTO THE REAR OF THE GARAGE AND THROUGH THE WALL INTO THE LAUNDRY ROOM. I SURVEYED THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AT THAT TIME AND DECIDED THAT WHILE SOME DAMAGE DID HAPPEN IT WAS NOT THAT MUCH AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL DRIVABLE. SOME MONTHS LATER WE TOOK THE CAR FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE AND TO MY SURPRISE THE ESTIMATE WAS FOR ABOUT $1,900.00. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MY FAULT AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK BUT DID NOT SET THE PARKING BRAKE AS THE WHOLE SITUATION WOULD NOT TAKE TWO MINUTES TO PUT THE RECYCLE CAN AWAY AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE. I WAS QUITE SHAKEN WHEN I SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS COMING INTO THE GARAGE BY ITSELF. THE DRIVEWAY SLOPES DOWN TO THE STREET AND I HAD BEEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 SECO. *TR

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2015 CR-V I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE RPMS WERE BETWEEN 1,000 - 1,200 AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. THE VIBRATION DISAPPEARED WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS. I ALSO NOTICED AN INCREASE IN THE RPMS TO 3,000 WHEN GOING DOWNHILL WITH MY FOOT OFF OR ON THE BRAKE AND A LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CAR DOES VIBRATE WHEN IDLING AT A RED LIGHT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS YET. I ONLY HAVE 1,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND WAS ALSO TOLD BY MY HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOESN'T HAVE A FIX YET. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS SINCE 1986 (ACCORDS) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS LIKE THE ONES ON THE CR-V. I AM BEGINNING TO REGRET BUYING THIS VEHICLE AND AGREE THAT HONDA SHOULD DEFINITELY COMPENSATE CR-V OWNERS ASAP. I'M BEGINNING TO WORRY MORE ABOUT ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS AS THE CAR GETS OLDER WITH MORE MILEAGE. HAVEN'T HAD IT ON THE HIGHWAY YET BUT AM WORRIED ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS OTHER CR-V OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
WHILE IN LOW IDLE (LESS THAN 750 RPM) VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHILE IN DRIVE OR "S" GEAR. SHUDDER DECREASES IF CAR IS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, OR IF BRAKE CONTINUES TO BE APPLIED AND A BIT MORE RPMS ARE INTRODUCED BY TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR. HAPPENS IN EITHER REGULAR DRIVE OR ECO MODE. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT IS ANNOYING WHEN IT HAPPENS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TPMS WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. STOPPED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. TIRES WERE AT CORRECT PRESSURE. WE WERE SHOWN WHERE THE BUTTON WAS ON THE DASHBOARD TO CLEAR THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT TIME AND WE WERE TOLD THE TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL 4 TIRES WAS FINE AND THEY CANCELED THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. ALL OF THIS AT NO COST TO US. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED I CANCELED THE WARNING LIGHT. THE ISSUE MUST BE A ENGINEERING OR DESIGN FAILURE/PROBLEM OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THEY HAVE A BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD SO THE DRIVER COULD CANCEL THE WARNING LIGHT? WE FEEL WE CAN'T TRUST THE WARNING LIGHT ANYMORE AND QUITE FRANKLY WONDER HOW SAFE THE TIRES AND VEHICLE IS TO DRIVE.

SEATS, WHEELS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. THE FRONT SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO MY COMFORT....IT DOES NOT STAY UP...I NEED TO SIT HIGH AND IT IS IMPOSSBLE TO MAKE IT STAY UP BECAUSE OF WHERE THE LEVER TO ADJUST IT IS. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE THE CAR AT ALL, BUT THE MOST ANNOYING THING IS NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE HAVE BEEN BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY JUST BLEW IT OFF...NOT THIER PROBLEM...I WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE. IT IS ROUGH RIDING WHICH I THINK IS BECAUSE OF THE TIRES ON THE CAR WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE...I HAVE 16,000 UNHAPPY MILES ON THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PUCHAED NEW IN 2013...IT IS A 2014.

AIR BAGS
MY HONDA CRV IS WITHIN THE YEAR RANGE FOR A RECALL OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA......AT ALL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND CAME TO YOUR WEBSITE TO FIND OUT IF MY VEHICLE IS DEFINITELY ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG APPARATUS. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT IS.....SO I AM WONDERING WHY NO RECALL NOTICE HAS COME TO ME? WHAT AM I TO DO? THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF THIS FAULTY PART SEEM DEVASTATING FROM WHAT I AM READING.....PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IS MY BEST COURSE OF ACTION.

WHEELS, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WILL ALWAYS READ THIS SIGHT BEFORE BUYING ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE HAD CRV 2014 18 MONTHS AND BEGAN PROBLEMS AFTER 2 WEEKS. TPMS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON EVERY FEW WEEKS. LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BAD AND HIGH BEAMS ARE RIDICULOUSLY TOO FAR AHEAD AND CAN'T SEE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. THE HEAD REST LEANS SO FAR FORWARD ITS UNCOMFORTABLE AND AWKWARD. MY ENGINE MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND WHEN STARTING THE CAR. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE I HAVEN'T HAD ACCELERATION UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES OR NO THROTTLE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WILL BE CAUTIOUS OF THOSE PROBLEMS NOW SINCE I'VE HAD SO MANY OF THE OTHERS LISTED HERE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT IDLE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGAGED A SERIOUS VIBRATION DEVELOPS. AS THE VEHICLE SETS THE VIBRATION INCREASES AND THE RPM'S DROP FROM APPX.. 600 RPM TO BELOW 200P RPM. . WHEN THE RPM'S RECOVER THE VEHICLE PULLS AGAINST THE BREAKS. WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BREAK PEDAL THE VIBRATION STOPS. YESTERDAY (5/19/2015) WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AND THEN DIESLED AND STALLED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE FULL STALL WAS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE HOWEVER THE VEHICLE OFTEN APPROACHES A STALL WHILE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE . THE VIBRATION HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2014. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GERMAINE HONDA, THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, IN ANN ARBOR, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIBRATION IS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FLIMSY EXCUSE AND QUITE FRANKLY PROBLEM IS BEGINNING TO WORRY ME. THE STALL WAS SERIOUS AND IN TRAFFIC. THE VIBRATION IS VERY PRONOUNCED AND TRAVELS THROUGHOUT THE CHASSIS. I HAVE READ ON THE HONDA CR-V OWNER FORUM THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT HONDA MOTORS AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE SIMPLY IGNORING THE SITUATION. I WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN NEXT WEEK . THANK YOU
