Car hesitates randomly from dead stop. Starts off at about 2 mph and does not accelerate until 5 to 10 seconds even though you are pressing on gas pedal. Honda has no explanation for the random occurrence. This has happened to me at least 20 times. Does not show up on computer diagnostics. Replaced 2014 CR-V after 10 weeks with 2015 CR-V. 2015 model has different issues. No more Honda!!! took a big financial hit on replacing a 2014 CR-V after 10 weeks with a 2015 CR-V. car too dangerous to drive.

During cold weather (winter) when vehicle is started first time in the morning there is a one time grinding noise. This is the 2nd Honda CRV that we own that makes this same noise. When I perform a google search I find similar complaints from many Honda CRV owners from multiple years of manufacture of the Honda CRV. The dealer has indicated that this noise issue is caused by the variable timing control valve (vtc) and that Honda is working on a permanent solution. Honda has been aware of noise issue and supposedly working on a solution for at least 2 model years yet no permanent solution to issue has been provided at this time. Honda is currently manufacturing and selling CRV's to consumers with a known engine defect and should be made to extend the engine warranty until this issue is corrected.

Apply brakes for normal stop, ease off throttle pedal. When road is clear, release brakes, apply pressure to throttle pedal. No response. Add pressure - no response. Add more pressure and full speed ahead. The sudden acceleration puts you hard against the seat, with sudden reaction needed to avoid an accident with the car ahead of you going the same way. Entering a freeway could be fun!!! this is a frequent occurance, at almost every stop and proceed. From what I hear about air bags in some cars, the sudden acceleration may be a cause of air bag release which would complicate the problem.

Vehicle hesitates when accelerating from stop. This has happened several times when pulling into or across traffic. The hesitation is momentary but could be very dangerous.

I bought at 2014 CRV end of Sept/Oct of 2013. Upon the first snow fall I drove the vehicle and had immediate problems. The car was not getting any traction, it was sliding around going down hills and upon trying to drive up hills it would stop without even trying to go up. It would stop and wheels would spin, the rear end spun to the side and I could not get anywhere. The amber AWD lights came on and flashed, combination of both scenarios. I finally got it into the dealership as the problem got worse. The rear differential has been deemed defective (overheating issue to point of almost glowing and fluid overheated). The other problem I have had is that if the car was put into 1st or 2nd gear to aid slowing down on a hill, even from a stopped position, it would not respond. The car sped up going down the hill in first gear to approximately 40mph even with the brake on, which would not engage and the anti-lock brakes were engaging and not even trying to stop the vehicle. The car behaved the same even if on flat ground that had even a dusting of snow or even a little gravel. The dealership gave me a courtesy 2014 same year as mine, it drove much better and much safer than mine performed after the first 2 days. I feel the car has more issues than just the differential and is a major safety hazard as the last 1-2 weeks the car has had no control in anything other than dry roads. It has almost wrecked more than once due to these issues. This vehicle is 3.5 months old and had under 10,000 miles on it and all of this has gone wrong since the beginning.
