CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Honda CR-V has a trend of engine hesitation when accelerating.

Honda has tried to fix this delayed acceleration with a software update, but many owners report it didn't fix the problem.

This defect trend is not quite bad enough yet for us to slap on the "Beware of the Clunker" seal. But it's a concern & definitely something to keep in mind for a test drive.

Noticed one day that passenger seat had burn marks. Have smelt on occasion what seemed to be burning smells in the past. Don-??t use the seat heater there since that was noticed. This is a danger.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. while driving at an unknown speed, the manual front driver side seat height adjustment would lower erroneously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100.

The design is detrimental to a short person's (62 inch & under) safety. The starring does not go down far enough for the driver to see the road. Also the driver seat is tilted away from starring wheel. The headlight beam ends before the driver can see the road. I complained but they did not take any action to even check. If the starring wheel can be pushed further down and the length of the headlight beam could be extended further the driver would not see a dark road ahead of him/her. It is a crash waiting to happen. Please review this. I will be glad to answer any questions. Honda, as usual, does not admit and fix the safety issues brought to them.

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.

The headrest in the vehicle is angled too far forward at the top to be comfortable for people who have to sit straight up in the seat! the angle on the headrest should be adjustable for those who have to sit straight up. As designed, it is far more comfortable to either remove the headrest or turn it around backwards. Both of which would lead to severe head and neck injuries in a rear end collision.

The headrests are totally uncomfortable in my new CR-V. I've had to purchase a lumbar support & neck rest (pillow), in an attempt to solve the horrible design of the seat/headrest. It's tilted too far forward & if I attempt to rest my back into the seat, my head is bent forward. No adjustment is able to fix the problem; it only goes up & down. The Chevy traverse (which I rented a few months ago) has a perfect headrest. I was able to adjust it up/down & backward/forward!
