2014 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #1158886
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING filed February 19, 2015
NHTSA complaint #1158886 (ODI reference 10689477) concerns a 2014 HONDA CR-V and was filed on February 19, 2015. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 6, 2014. The vehicle had 45 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA CR-V cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.

Complaint Description
I BECAME EXTREMELY ILL FROM THE OFFGASSING OF THE TOXIC CHEMICALS IN MY NEW CAR. IT MADE ME DIZZY, NAUSEOUS, DISORIENTED, SLEEPY & LETHARGIC, GAVE ME A HEADACHE AND CAUSED BURNING TO MY LIPS, FACE AND LUNGS. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BREATHE. A 2012 ECOLOGY CENTER STUDY SHOWS THAT THERE ARE OVER 270 CHEMICALS IN A NEW CAR, 70 OF THEM TOXIC (FORMALDEHYDE, STYRENE, BENZENE, AND TOLUENE ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, ASTHMA, LEARNING DISORDERS, LEUKEMIA AND OTHER CANCERS) MY SYMPTOMS OF BREATHING DIFFICULTY, LETHARGY AND SLEEPINESS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THESE CHEMICALS POSE A HEALTH RISK FOR SIDS IN INFANTS. THE ECOLOGY CENTER AND AN ATTORNEY FOR SOMEONE WHO SUED TOYOTA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE TOLD THEM THEY ALSO BECAME ILL FROM THE TOXINS IN THEIR NEW CARS. AMERICAN HONDA EVEN TOLD ME THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BECOME ILL FROM THE CHEMICALS. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THESE TOXINS. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL PRODUCTS THAT POSE HEALTH RISKS. THEY SHOU
