2014 Honda CR-V

For the 2014 CR-V, engine complaints dominate the picture. Owners most frequently describe a VTC actuator failure that causes timing chain noise and stretch, often accompanied by check-engine codes, a pattern that shows up across a large share of the engine complaints. A separate but also common engine complaint involves a shudder or brief power loss during acceleration, typically felt most strongly around 20–25 mph, with some owners noting it also occurs at highway speeds. Powertrain complaints often overlap with these symptoms, describing hesitation or slip before the drivetrain catches. Electrical system complaints round out the top three, though those reports are more scattered in nature. A handful of owners also describe the rear hatchback glass shattering spontaneously while the vehicle was parked, with no reported impact.
