2014 Honda CR-V Power Train

There is a known issue with 2014 Honda CRV torque converters. My car has always had a funky shift which Honda told me it was just the new CVT transmission. Then back in August my mother drive my car and said that was not correct. I took it to Honda and they said it was the torque converter. It is causing my vehicle to become undrivable with out feeling safe. It judders, shakes and doesn't shift properly. I contacted Honda and they acknowledge that it is a known issue with their CVT transmission. They currently have 1200 orders for torque converters on back order that shows you how much of an issue that this is.

Known Honda issue- tsb a15-086 Software update and trans fluid change in 2018 due to car juddering with light acceleration, did not fix problem. 10/20/23 car was road tested and concern was present. Needs new torque converter to fix original concern

Transmission shudders at speeds between 20-30 mph.

At around 70,000 miles vehicle started to shudder when accelerating lightly between 20-35MPH. The problem would occur intermittently. This has been getting steadily worse with age and milage. At present the vehicle has 85,000 miles and the shuddering occurs to some degree with each take-off from standing start between 20-40MPH. I changed the transmission fluid with the OEM manufacturer's type, and the problem recurred after a few months. I have not received a recall notice from the manufacturer, or returned the car to the dealer for service.

Drive train is malfunctioning. Safety risk unknown. Vehicle subject to "juddering." Honda Technical Service Bulletin 10-086 dated May 25, 2017 (superseding HSB 15-086 dated August 18, 2016) Entitled "Vibration While Driving Under Light Acceleration" presumably issued to dealers. Dealers were advised to update A/T software "at the customer's request." Also, transmission fluid to be replaced. I have an appointment with Ide Honda on June 26, 2023 for an assessment of juddering problem. There is no indication in the service records that the A/T software update was ever performed. However, the subject vehicle was sold to the previous owner as a "Honda Certified Pre-Owned" automobile. No warning lamps are showing.

The contact’s son owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started shaking abnormally. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Torque converter issues / shuddering when going from 2nd to 3rd gear

The contact owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while accelerating from first to second gear at approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle would shudder. The contact stated that the shuddering diminished while the vehicle was accelerating. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

The transmission shudders and shakes under light acceleration at speed 20-30 mph. looks like this is a known issue by Honda. check the bulletin (15-086 and 17-040) https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10108735-9999.pdf https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10108737-9999.pdf (the document says : the warranty is 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first.) There are service bulletins out from Honda with corrective actions to be taken Honda wants to charge to perform the fix with no guarantee it will solve the known problem.

MY 2014 HONDA CRV SEEMS TO SHUDDER AROUND 23 TO 35 MPH AT SLOW ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A GOOD WHILE NOW. I CHANGED THE FLUID TRANSMISSION FLUID AND STILL NO CHANGES, IT STILL HAS AN HARD SHUDDER.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY CRV THAT MY AUTO IS SHAKING WHILE I'M DRIVING UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. I VISITED 2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY BOTH ASKED ME TO HAVE DIAGNOSIS.ALTHOUGH I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. SO, I GOT DIAGNOSIS FROM HONDA IN FALLS CHURCH, VA. THEY VERIFIED MY CONCERN THAT TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDS TO PERFORM TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. MY CONCERN IS MY AUTO MILEAGE IS NOW OVER 82K SO I'M NOT AVAILABLE TO HAVE THE SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. I HEARD THAT MANY CRV OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE I COULD GET THE SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SHUDDER UNDER LIGHT TO NORMAL ACCELERATION AT OR AROUND 2000 RPM. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT FROM HONDA WITH CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE TO PERFORM THE FIX WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WILL SOLVE THEW KNOWN PROBLEM.

RATTLING SOUND AT START UP AND OIL CONSUMPTION,. 2 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND HAVE CHECKED THE LEVEL WEEKLY. *TR

I LIVE IN MN, AND ONLY COLD AIR BLOWERS OUT OF THE HEATER VENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA (TSB 14-063), IT IS A CLOGGED HEATER CORE. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED 2 TIMES ($120/PER TIME) AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN IT IS 20 BELOW AND THERE IS NO HEAT IN MY CRV.

I HAVE HONDA CR-V 2014 WITH ONLY 41K, THE SAME PROBLEM IS WITH THE SHAKE, JUDDER, VIBRATION BETWEEN 25-30 MPG.

I PURCHASED A 2014 HONDA CRV WITH 13,000 MILES ON IN, A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AT 31,000 MILES THE VTC ACTUATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT WOULD MAKE A GRINDING NOISE ON START-UP. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE NOISE AND ONLY HAVE 65K MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE IN HONDA FORUMS AND THE PART IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE OR THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH IT AS THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN ISSUED, BUT NO RECALL YET.

AT COLD START-UP, THE ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY FOR A FEW SECONDS, EVERY TIME NOW. DEFECTIVE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR. VTC ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. OVER TIME, THIS CAN CAUSE FRAGMENTED ISSUES, AFFECTING OTHER INTEGRAL AREAS OF VEHICLE OPERATION.

DRIVING AT LOW SPEED (20-40MPH) THE CAR WILL FLUTTER/SHIMMY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA AMERICA AS THEY HAVE TWO SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE ISSUE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS WITH CR-V OWNERS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH LOW AND HIGH MILEAGE. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE FIRST "FIX" ACCORDING TO THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN AND IT WAS OK FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND NOW IT'S BACK, WORSE THAN EVER. THE SECOND FIX ACCORDING TO HONDA IS A TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HELP THE PROBLEM.

I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SKATE BETWEEN 25-30 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, HOPING IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY $140 FOR THEM TO JUST CHECK MY VEHICLE. THEN THEY CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND HONDA HAD CREATED AN UPDATE, WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO RECEIVE. THAT THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE TO FLUSH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AS PART OF THIS, AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE $499 WITH LABOR AND TAXES. I THEN ALSO WENT AHEAD AND HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND MY BRAKE FLUID SINCE IT WAS RECOMMENDED. TOTAL BILL WAS $703. I THEN CAME HOME AND STARTED LOOKING UP AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE/HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MOST WEREN'T CHARGED BY THEIR DEALER FOR THE UPDATE AND FLUID CHANGE, WHICH SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. BUT I WAS. AND I HAVE THE SILVER WARRANTY UNDER FIDELITY. AND IT AFFECTED MY POWER TRAIN, BUT THEY CO WIDER IT A SOFTWARE ISSUE, NOT MECHANICAL, SO THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. HONDA SHOULD NOT CHARGE FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH WAS CLEARLY AFFECTING ENOUGH PEOPLE TO CAUSE THEM TO HAVE AN UPDATE AVAILABLE. BUT WHY CHARGE FOR IT? IT'S A MALFUNCTION IN THEIR SOFTWARE WHICH AFFECTED THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL AND PROVIDED THIS FOR FREE.

THE CAR VIBRATED DURING ACCELERATION AT 25 AND 32MPH. THE HONDA OF SAN MARCOS,TX DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. SINCE MANY 2014 HONDA CRVS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE ME THE $365.15 THAT THEY CHARGED ME TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION VIBRATION.

THE CRV STARTS TO SHAKE WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR GOES AWAY ONCE IT REACHES ABOVE 30 MILE/HOUR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE LAST 8 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED AT 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LINDSAY HONDA (5959 SCARBOROUGH BLVD, COLUMBUS, OH 43232, (614) 864-5250) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND THE VEHICLE ALSO NEEDED A HARDWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN DIAGNOSED BY THE SAME DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

MY 2014 HONDA CRV WITH 75,000 MILES IS IN NEED OF A DRIVE SHAFT. I CANNOT FIND A RECALL ON THIS. HONDA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY MECHANIC WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN TROUBLE WITH THIS PART ON OTHER 2014 MODELS.AS A MATTER OF FACT THE PART WAS BACKORDERED! IT SEEMS ABSURD TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN IN 75,000 MILES. CAN YOU HELP ME? AS YOU KNOW THIS WILL COST ME BETWEEN $2500.00-$3000.00!!! OF COURSE I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA VEHICLE SINCE THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER TO THAT COMPANY]!

VEHICLE SHAKES WHILE IN MOTION WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN 25MPH-45MPH USING OVER-DRIVE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN OVER-DRIVE IS TURNED OFF. TRANSMISSION COMPUTER HAS BEEN UPDATED BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS HOPED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS ON-GOING.

WHEN I MAKE A SHARP TURN USUALLY TO THE LEFT, THE CAR DOESN'T GO WHEN I ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO BACK OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN, WHICH CAUSES AN UNSAFE SITUATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH ME. THE CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN I WANT TO ACCELERATE LIKE AT A LIGHT WHERE I AM TURNING LEFT.
