2014 CR-V has almost 500 complaints over engine, climate control, and transmission issues. Plus, two recalls over faulty airbags is cause for concern.
Although the 2014 CR-V has no recalls, there are two open investigations with the NHTSA.
The investigations are over problems with airbags that don't deploy or may rupture during deployment.
Engine issues accounted for nearly a third of all NHTSA complaints about the 2014 CR-V.
Many drivers noticed a grinding noise or rattle, typically on a cold start.
The second most common of the CR-V's problems is a shudder that occurs when accelerating at low speeds.
The good news is that if it's caught early, it's a relatively cheap fix.
