“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11321773, filed 2020-04, 107,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11377815, filed 2020-12, 25,000 miles“I purchased at 2013 Honda crv from pohanka in salisbury md with 30k miles. The other day I noticed my driver side vents were blowing cold air with the heat on.I took the car to the dealership where they told me it was the heater core and was going to cost me 400$ I purchased bumper to bumper warranty on this vehicle which should cover that expensive but doesn't. I've done a lot of research and have found that this particular model has a TSB 14-063 which states a factory defect.factory! …”
NHTSA complaint #11162112, filed 2018-12, 33,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11192073, filed 2019-03, 65,172 miles“A squirrel ate through my windshield washer hoses. I got the hoses replaced, then 3 months later it happened again, and I had to replace them again. One time I was moving when I discovered I had non-functioning washers, and the other time it was while my car was stationary. There is a class action lawsuit against Honda for the soy-based coating Honda uses, which attracts rodents. The Honda service manager pretended he knew nothing about this situation, even though Honda makes a rodent-deterrent tape for this very reason. …”
