On February 5, I was parking my vehicle in a parking lot space. The vehicle lurched forward and hit another parked car causing $925 in damages to that car. I put it into Park and then Reverse and it lurched backwards. I did not have any control over the car. I took it to the North Shore Honda dealer in Glen Head, NY and they were unable to find anything wrong but I know there is a problem and I am very nervous driving the car. There were no warning lamps before or after the incident. I have read on the internet of other people experiencing uncontrolled acceleration of their vehicle.
For the past few months my car vibrates whenever i decrease in speed or change to lower gears. The whole car vibrates. I have brought it to the dealer recently and they advised of faulty transmission after i paid for diagnostic /inspection. There has also been several incidents where the car has been stuck in park. It even happened when i placed the car in park while at a stoplight.
Transmission shakes or quivers around 25-30 mph. At speed above 35mph right rear suspension (axle) shakes, quivers. I was checking For a recall because of all the complaints of same issues on honda owners website. The car is becoming unsafe to drive. This is the first effort I have made to research problem. The Honda website indicated a 2013 crv Recall but not for my vin number.
It-€™s vibrating while accelerating at low speeds between 20mph till 40mph the shaking is horrible when i went to honda they told me i have to change the fluid but not grantee to fix thus problem
When I slowed down when approaching a stop sign the engine revved up high. I was able to stop by braking but eventually had to turn off the engine and luckily when restarting it ran normally.

Honda paint is stripping right off the body. Honda paint is fading and losing metallic finish. Honda paint has other recalls but not my make and model.
As like other reports my car has been making a large rattling sound for years and it's getting worse and from what I've looked up it can be very bad and expensive to repair and Honda needs to look into why this is happening to our cars and do a recall because this should not be our responsibility to pay for a defect. I am assuming it is the same vtc actuator that needs to be replaced and possibly the timing chain which is extremely expensive to replace.
Last winter, my car would make a rattling noise every time I started the car. I read online that during cold weather, this could happen. Now the spring and summer have gone by and the rattling still continues every time I start my car after the car has been idle for a little bit. I have further read that the vtc actuator needs to be replaced however, I am still seeing reports that the rattling reappears after a couple months even after replacing it. This is clearly a defect and should be free to replace (vs paying 800 dollars) considering it doesn't guarantee to fix the issue.
The heater blows cold on the driver's side and warm on the passenger side. This appears to be a widely known issue and for whatever reason, it hasn't been recalled. This is going to cost me a lot of money to fix and it's very disappointing since it is a widely known issue. We bought a Honda for the dependability and unfortunately this may be the last.
The heat from the driver side is lower than the heat from the front middle and passanger side vent. A service bulletin has been created for this sb 14-063. This should be a recall because it is very unsafe. The driver side blows cold air not hot at all and the deforester does not work. N ow that it is winter it is impacts visibility and is dangerous.
Vtc actuator fails, starts a rattle at cold start which causes increased oil consumption and stretching of the time chain. Costs thousands to replace and Honda refuses to issue recall even after 100S of complaints.
Back passenger door won't unlock from inside or outside door. All passengers have to get out from drivers side. Safety concern. Just purchased vehicle 07/15/18
When the vehicle is in motion and shifts from first to second gear anywhere between 20-25mph there is a vibration that appear to come from the transmission. I have visited the dealer several time trying to resolve this matter. The first time they told me fluid was needed, the second the transmission fluid, need to be changed. The 3rd time they needed a code to identify the problem, the forth time they upgrades the computer system. All these changes have improved the problem for a couple of weeks only. I reported this problem to company in California. The problem still present.
2013 Honda CR-V bluetooth. Recipient of call hears loud noise and cannot hear me clearly. I hear them clearly. This problem has been happening within the last 3 years. I was told it was a programing problem. That should be Honda's issue. I am unable to use my hands free device which I specifically bought the car for because it is the law that it must be used. It puts the driver who needs to use this in danger. The dealer needs to be responsible for changing out the unit but appears not to listen to the many people who have the same issue. It should be fixed by a recall. I should not have to pay for their faulty system.
Water leakage from the top of the roof to the bottom of the rear bumper. Water pooled in the spare tire well and sloshed out while I was driving wetting the carpet and the back seats as I had them folded down. The seal was not properly done at manufacturer. I had it repaired but Honda would not reimburse for the damage. I did not realize this had happened as I don't sit in the back seats. The carpet and seats have soured, molded and mildewed. I researchered on line to see if others had this problem and found several have and not just the 2013 models. Honda has known of this problem and has not recalled nor fixed the problem.
The air conditioner blows hot air. I took it in to dealership and they stated that it is cooling correctly. Check air system stated nothing is wrong. I am asthmatic patient and this cause me to have asthma attacks
The temperature of the air coming out of the driver's side heating vents is significantly cooler than the temperature coming out of the passenger side. No adjustments to the heating controls improve this situation. It is becoming more difficult to defrost the window, which impacts visibility when driving and therefore impacts safety. I have read online that Honda is not covering repair of this issue and that consumers are spending hundreds of dollars to correct a known design flaw.
