2014 Honda CR-V Body & Structure Problems

Honda CRV was purchased in New York in 2014 and has been registered in Texas since 2023. The car has approximately 76600 miles (substantially lower than 132,000 miles average mileage). According to Team Gillman Honda Dealership. The car has undergone severe rusting leading to coolant leak. I was asked to replace the radiator, hoses, welding of convertor and exhaust pipes. The bill exceeds 5000 USD/- (according to the dealer). Rooster car care has quoted a 6000 USD/- for similar fixes. So far, I have already spent 550 USD/- and the repairs have failed Honda did issue a recall for 564,000 Honda CRV's made between 2007-2011 driven in salt belt states. This information is publicly available.

The contact owns a 2014 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving approximately 2 MPH and pulling out of a parking lot, the contact felt a bump underneath the vehicle. While inspecting around the vehicle, the contact became aware that the trailing arm had detached from the vehicle. The failure caused the tires to turn inward, causing damages underneath the vehicle. The contact stated that excessive rust and failure caused excessive damages underneath the vehicle, causing other parts of the body to start to detach. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V228000 (Structure); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 183,000.

My tailgate does not open in cold weather. It was been serviced by Honda several times. They said they fixed it and it still does not work so I cannot use my trunk at all in the winter. I have a disability and need to use my trunk for groceries and medical equipment. Now Honda says it is out of warranty and wants to charge me for something they never actually fixed (Garden State Honda). Please recall and permanently fix this, many people have the same issue.

The paint is suddenly peeling off the car in large pieces. This is occurring above the rear window. The paint is white and I've found numerous complaints of others experiencing the same issue with the Honda white paint. Honda states they will not cover this as it is no longer under warranty and there are no active recalls on this vehicle. When I asked if this was covered for the 2013 Honda CRV they would not answer but suggested I could 'submit a claim to the NHTSA to have my vehicle added'. This is the first Honda I've ever owned and have never seen this happen. Honda needs to be held responsible for this repair. No car that is garage kept should have the paint peeling off it. Please advise next steps.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. GLASS EVERYWHERE.

THE SUNROOF HAS RUST ALONG THE PANELING AREA THAT I CAN SEE. NOT SURE WHEN THE RUST DEVELOPED, I'M SURE WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

DRIVING THE INTERSTATE I-35W ON SATURDAY JUNE 13, 2020 IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, SOUNDED LIKE A ROCK HIT THE CAR. BEING CLOSE TO HOME WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY BUT DID NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR NOR UNDERNEATH. TWO DAYS LATER OPENING THE CEILING DOOR TO THE SUNROOF TO FIND OUT THAT THE GLASS HAD A BIG HOLE IN IT. WE WERE NOT NEAR AN OVER PASS. WE WERE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE BUT NO WHERE CLOSE TO ANY CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES. NOT SURE THAT CONSTRUCTION WAS OCCURRING AT THE TIME. ALL WE CAN THINK OF IS EITHER A ROCK FELL FROM THE SKY OR THE CLASS IMPLODED UNDER THE HEAT OF THAT DAY. *TR

I HAVE A CUSTOMER THAT HAS A 2014 HONDA CRV (VIN PROVIDED) AND 2 YEARS AGO WE REPLACED THE REAR HATCH OUTSIDE HANDLE. IT WOULD NOT OPEN IN COLD WEATHER. IT FAILED AGAIN AND WE REPLACED IT AGAIN (NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER AS IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE). HONDA ONLY WARRANTIES THEIR PARTS FOR 12 MONTHS. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WHICH IS FIXED WITH A NEW OUTSIDE HANDLE. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE IN NO WAY TO GET INTO THE REAR CARGO AREA FROM THE OUTSIDE WITHOUT THIS OUTSIDE HANDLE WORKING. HONDA HAS REFUSED ANY TO HELP IN ANY WAY.

CLEAR COATING OVER PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS PEELING OFF EXTENSIVELY.

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING, THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN. THE LATCH MECHANISM HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, WITH MULTIPLE LATCH REPLACEMENTS HAVING NOT SOLVED IT. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. IF ONE WERE IN A COLLISION AND THE DOORS WERE JAMMED, PEOPLE COULD NOT BE REMOVED THROUGH THE HATCH. IF ONE HAD A FLAT TIRE BESIDE THE ROAD, THE SPARE COULD NOT BE ACCESSED. IF MEDICATION WERE NEEDED, IT COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED PROMPTLY. THE DATE MENTIONED BELOW IS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN WE HAVE VISITED COLD WEATHER AREAS. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING.

THE SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE TOLLWAY. THIS WAS PRECEDED BY A LOUD SOUND ABOVE MY HEAD. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF OBJECT IMPACT FROM THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE A DASH CAMERA AND SHOWED NO ABNORMAL ACTIVITY OR OBJECTS FLYING TOWARDS THE CAR. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THE SUNROOF. LUCKILY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED OR I WOULD'VE BEEN SHOWERED WITH BROKEN GLASS.

THE TRUNK LATCH STICKS AND CAUSES YOU TO BE UNABLE TO OPEN YOUR TRUNK. OVER THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS THE LATCH STARTED TO STICK WHICH I CHALKED UP TO THE COLD WEATHER CAUSING IT TO STICK BUT NOW IT DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, 8 PM, TEMPERATURE APPROX. 75F IN MILPITAS, CA. THE SUN ROOF WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED AND THE INSIDE SLIDING COVER WAS CLOSED(THANK GOODNESS) WHEN IT SUDDENLY SHATTERED.SHE DID NOT SEE ANY OBJECT IMPACT IT. NO OVERPASSES, LIGHT TRAFFIC. ON CLOSER INSPECTION THE NEXT MORNING, I OBSERVED THE REMAINING LARGE PIECES WERE FLARED OUTWARD, AS IF IT HAD EXPLODED.( PLEASE FIND PHOTOS) I HAVE SINCE BECOME AWARE THAT THESE TYPES OF FAILURES ARE BECOMING MUCH MORE FREQUENT.(REPAIR RECEIPT ALSO ATTACHED)

AIR IS GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE PROBABLY THROUGH DEFECTIVE WINDOW SEAL. MAY BE DOOR GLASS SEPARATION FROM REGULATOR. HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR THREE YEARS. HONDA WON'T DEAL WITH IT.

I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING SPACE BEHIND A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD WITH A TREMENDOUS ACCELERATION AND HIT THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AT LEAST, ALMOST $5,000 IN DAMAGE WAS DONE.

REAR DOOR LATCH WON'T OPEN IN COLD WEATHER. THIS STARTED WHEN THE CAR WAS JUST 2 YEARS OLD. NOW 3 1/2 AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT.

I ENTERED A PARKING LOT TO TAKE MY GRANDGIRLS TO A WILDLIFE REFUGE EXHIBIT. DROVE DOWN DRIVEWAY, TURNED LEFT OFF OF DRIVEWAY TO PARK CAR FACING WEST WHICH WOULD BE FACING ANOTHER CAR FACING EAST. TURN WAS IMMEDIATE, SO BRAKES WERE APPLIED. CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP . . . RATHER, IT ACCELERATED WITH A LURCH! I WAS LAYING ON THE BRAKES; THEY DID NOT ENGAGE UNTIL FRONTAL CONTACT PUSHED FACING CAR OUT OF MY WAY, AND I WAS ABLE TO THROW CAR INTO PARK. NO ACTION WHEN ENGAGING EMERGENCY BRAKES. OF COURSE, DOCUMENTED AS AN "AT-FAULT" ACCIDENT BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. (MAY I PERSONALLY MENTION THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 48 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN "AT-FAULT" ACCIDENT - HAVEN'T EVEN HIT A GARBAGE CAN!) RETURNED CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT BRAKING/ACCELERATION. THE RESPONSE FROM THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS, (AND I DIRECTLY QUOTE), "WE COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, BUT, WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN, PLEASE HAVE IT TOWED TO OUR DEALERSHIP!" I HAVE OWNED 14 SUBSEQUENT HONDAS, BUT WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER! THAT CRV TOOK ITS OWN FREE WILL AS I TRIED MY BEST TO CONTROL IT - NOTHING DOING! UPDATED 10/07/15*LJ UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

9 AM APRIL 16 POLICE KNOCKED ON DOOR SEVERAL HONDAS IN THE PARKING LOT HAD BEEN BROKEN INTO ND DRIVER AIRBAG STOLEN. CAR DID NOT START HAD TO BE TOWED TO SOUTHHONDA FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE A $500 DEDUCTIBLE AND I WANT HONDA TO REIMBURSE ME PLUS FIX THE FAULTY ALARM SYSTEM. I AM RETIRED $500 IS LOT FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO THANK YOU *TR
