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.

I was in a major car accident. My Honda CR-V air bags did not deploy. Due to the accident I have a neck and back injury. My insurance company has declared my vehicle a total loss. Millions of Americans are driving Honda CR-Vs and due to air bag failure their lives are at risk in the case of a collision. I have called Honda and asked them to investigate the failure of their air bags deployment. They have refused to do so. I am requesting the NHTSA investigate Honda CR-Vs air bag malfunction and help to save many Americans lives. My case number with Honda is 14187113

On the passenger side the airbag light came on and it won-??t go off. I-??m the only one that drives my car. I don-??t drive that much! The only time I drive is, when I-??m going grocery shopping in morning-??s and on weekends running a few errands in the morning-??s time. I only had this car for five years and a half.

I hit a pothole in my car, and the side roof airbags deployed, compressing my neck and back, and left me with a head and back injury. No other airbags deployed, and there isn-€™t a single mark on the body of my car. No warning or indication lights at all prior to the incident. I have not made an insurance claim or police report, there were no passengers or other drivers involved. I am not prepared to pay a deductible for repairs that were unexpected and no fault of my own. The airbag deployed for no reason, and I do not want to liable for the repair costs. This also likely totaled my car, and I-€™m very lucky my son was not in the car with me at the time.

It was last driven around 9:45pm that evening without issue. The vehicle has no history of physical or mechanical malfunction. The incident set off my ring bell camera since it motion sensitive (will provide footage if requested).

Takata recall I have noticed since I have bought my CRV that my airbag light on the dashboard sporadically goes on and off, and I wondered if it had anything to do with the instability of the airbags.

Tamara recall on airbags. When airbags deploy they may contain and/or spread metal sepsis toward vehicle occupants and cause serious injury.

Takata recall - air bag did not deploy - I was traveling West on the us 60 freeway in mesa, Arizona and was driving in the right lane of a 4 lane freeway, traveling 65 mph. A car driven by a young lady, realized that she missed her exit and came from the car pool lane, on the far left side to try and get off on an exit called dobson road. According to the witness statements she had to speed up to pass everyone to try and get off on the exit she was going to miss. As she cut across, I just happened to be driving past that exit and while she was going 75 to 85 mph, she hit me on the driver's side door. At the last second, I noticed something out of the corner of my left eye and turned my head and that is when she hit me. The next thing I remember is trying to get out of my car, but I couldn't because the door was smashed in, right where the hinges are. She hit me in a strong part of the door. Evidently, after she hit me her car pushed me into the wall of the on ramp. I don't really remember what happened between the time I turned my head, until the time I was trying to get out, to no avail. The side airbag and the front airbag never went off. The airbag on the passenger side, the side that hit the wall, did go off. I am lucky that the car did not roll over, but I think it was the wall that prevent that, because the wheels on the passenger side were at a 90 degree angle from sliding sideways. I suffered whiplash, of course and my neck and back are still not right. I had to get steroid shots in my back to be able to go to work because I started a new job. I had a concussion and still get headaches, and I tore my left acl, which has been replaced and now the only way to repair it is to have a knee replacement. I am still not okay and I know that a big reason for my severe injuries due to airbags not deploying. Accident occurred on 10/7/16 and I'm still suffering.

Takata recall: I contacted several dealerships in san marcos and san antonio in March 2016. I was told then, there were no parts available to fix the recall and no loaner cars available for those effected. We were told parts would be available early summer. Now we receive a letter that says parts will not be available until the fall. I am a working mother of two with no other vehicles to drive. So my children and I are forced to drive around in this death trap, with no end in sight. The anxiety is causes us is great and we have limited our travels this summer, due to fears of something happening. This is not right!!! we need a loaner vehicle, so that my family can be safe until parts are made available.
