| Description of the problem | I have a 2013 honda crv at about 65,000 miles. The vsa, eps, and check engine light came on all at the same time. I noticed that the car was running rough while idle and would not pick up after stopping. I researched this problem and notated that it seems to be a common issue for the timing chain to stretch. I have been meticulous about maintenance on my vehicle. Notably timing chains should last the entire life of the engine. I have taken my car to the honda dealership and been advised that indeed the timing chain needs to be replaced along with the vtc actuator (notably another common issue with these models). The price to fix this is outrageous considering the low miles and meticulous maintance by the honda dealership. I believe an investigation needs to completed as this issue can cause serious damage to your engine with little to no warning that something is wrong. |
