2015 HONDA CR-V Complaints

HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION ON HONDA CRV ESPECIALLY 2015. I RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MINE. WHILE PARKING IN A SPACE, THE GAS PEDAL TOOK OFF AND I RAN INTO A ANOTHER PARKED CAR.

ON MAY 4, 2019 I STARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABOUT TO DRIVE OUT AND THE CAR COULD MOVE FORWARD WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE POSITION. IT REVERSE INSTEAD. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES, I HAD TO CALL THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND A TOW TRUCK REMOVED THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER I BOUGHT I FROM. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NO GOOD. AFTER WAITING FOR OVER A MONTH FOR IT TO BE FIXED, I PICKED IT UP AND WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE PERFORMANCE. I BROUGHT IT BACKAND WAS TOLD THAT THE SOUND I WAS HEARING COMES FROM A "FLAT SPOT IN THE TIRE SINCE IT WAS SITTING THERE FOR A LONG TIME AND I SHOULD DRIVE IT FOR A MONTH AND IF NO CHANGES I SHOULD BUY NEW TIRE. " THAT DID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME SO HERE I AM TRYING TO FIGUR IT OUT, VERY DISGRUNTLED, AND DISSATISFIED!!. ON TOP OF THAT THE VIBRATING OF THE CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S IDLING... IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME FOR A CAR THIS NEW TO BE IN THIS CONDITION. I NEED SOME HELP TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE.

I AM WRITING YOU BECAUSE I HAD TO HAVE THE STARTED REPLACED ON MY HONDA 2015 CR-V. THE VIN NUMBER IS: [XXX]; VA LICENSE [XXX]; MILEAGE 47,332. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO HAVE A VEHICLE OF THAT YEAR AND SUCH A LOW MILEAGE WITH STARTER PROBLEMS AND HAVING THE STARTED REPLACED. THE FINAL BILL FOR THE WORK CONDUCTED WAS $727.16, INCLUDING PARTS, LABOR AND TAXES. I SUSPECT THAT STARTER PROBLEMS ARE INHERITED FROM A POOR DESIGN WHERE THE STARTER IS EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE MANIFOLD. THEREFORE, ALL CR-VS' DESIGNED IN A SAME MANNER ARE RELEGATED TO THE SAME FLAW. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE FORCED TO INCUR THE UNREASONABLE COST OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE STARTER AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. DONE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

THE MOTOR STALLS WHEN MAKING PULLING AWAY FROM A DEAD STOP. I HAVE NOTICED THIS IN PARTICULAR WHEN MAKING A TURN FROM A DEAD STOP. IT HAS ALMOST GOT ME HIT A FEW TIMES AND THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I CONTACTED MY DEALER WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH THEY DID, IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME AS IT IS SPORADIC BUT WHEN IT DOES DO IT IT MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A TURN AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS COMING TOWARDS ME. HONDA WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR ME.

CAR NEEDS 1 QUART OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKAGE IN DRIVEWAY OR GARAGE.

BATTERY DISCHARGES FREQUENTLY (CAR WILL NOT START) BEGINNING WHEN LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD, NEW BATTERY SAME PROBLEM. HAPPENS RANDOMLY. DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM (EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED ONCE IN THEIR SHOP). NOT RELATED TO FREQUENT SHORT TRIPS (DEALER SUGGESTION) AS WE TRACKED OCCURRENCE WITH DIFFERENT TRIP LENGTHS WITH SAME UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS. KEEPING BATTERY ON CHARGER DAILY SEEMS TO HELP, BUT MUST BE DONE DAILY OR ELSE PROBLEM REOCCURS. PROBLEM HAPPENS AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING -- CAN BE AFTER SHORT STOP (SHOPPING) OR OVERNIGHT (IN GARAGE). CLEARLY THERE IS A DEFECT -- SHORT?; RELAY? HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT DIFFERENT YEARS. HONDA DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP AND NOW VEHICLE IS OFF WARRANTY.

REPLACED PARKING BRAKE SHOES THAT WERE DOWN TO BARE METAL AND ADJUSTED SAME. BRAKE CABLES HAVE STRETCHED AND WILL NOT HOLD VEHICLE ON EVEN A GENTLE SLOPE WHEN FULLY ENGAGED BY FOOT PETAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. HONDA ELIMINATED ANY PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT ON THIS MODEL? THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HONDA SAYS CAN NOT HAPPEN. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT STAND BEHIND A HONDA CRV WITH FLOOR ACTIVATED PARKING BRAKE AS THE CAR WILL ROLL OVER YOU AN A HILL IN NEUTRAL GUARANTIED! NO HOPE TO USE AS AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY BRAKE AT ALL AS IT WILL NOT SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE APPRECIABLY WHEN MOVING IN NEUTRAL. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL THIS VEHICLE IN THE USA AS THIS CABLE STRETCHING IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT LETHAL DANGER TO ALL. MAKE THEM FIX THIS NON-ADJUSTABLE PARKING BRAKE CABLE OR TAKE THE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. TIGHTENING THE BRAKE SHOES TO THE BRAKE DRUM ONLY HEATS UP THE BRAKE SHOES AND TEARS OFF THE VERY THIN PARKING BRAKE SHOE PADS. NO COMMON SENSE WENT INTO THE DECISION TO ELIMINATE THE ADJUSTMENT CAPABILITY OF THIS BRAKE CABLE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM AT ALL. SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ALLOW HONDA TO NOT RECALL THIS PARKING BRAKE NON-ADJUSTABLE CABLE SYSTEM AND REPLACE SAME WITH AN ADJUSTABLE PARKING BRAKE CABLE SYSTEM. VERY EASY FIX BY MANUFACTURING A NEW FLOOR PARKING BRAKE PETAL WITH INCORPORATED CABLE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS. PEOPLE WILL BE INJURED AND PEOPLE WILL DIE IF THIS IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN EFFECTIVELY UNADDRESSED BY HONDA MOTOR COMPANY.

RIGHT FRONT DOOR WINDOW EXPLODED ON THE HIGHWAY AND SHATTERED GLASS IN HUNDREDS OF PIECES CAME INTO THE CAR. THE WINDOW HAD NO PRIOR ROCK CHIPS AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING HIT THE VEHICLE-JUST A LOUD BANG LIKE A SHOT (NOT SUSPECTING A BULLET BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE ONE HIT) AND THE GLASS BROKE INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES. WAS TRAVELING IN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. SO GLAD NO PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE/SHE WOULD HAVE HAD GLASS HIT THEM. GLASS WENT EVEN INTO THE BACK SEAT. I REPLACED THE WINDOW AT A GLASS COMPANY. HONDA HAD A RECALL OF FRONT DOOR GLASS IN 2011 ON THE ODYSSEY-WONDER IF THIS IS THE SAME GLASS.

WE WERE TRAVELING ON A ROAD AT 55 MPH. ANOTHER VEHICLE ABRUPTLY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF US AT 10 MPH. OUR DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO AVOID COLLISION BY SWERVING TO THE RIGHT MEDIAN. THE IMPACT WAS OUR FRONT DRIVER SIDE HITTING THE OTHER DRIVER'S BACK PASSENGER SIDE. ACCORDING TO WITNESS STATEMENTS, OUR CAR WENT AIR BORN AND INTO A MULTIPLE SPIN SITUATION. WE TOOK OUT A GUARD RAIL. DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED ON ALL SIDES OF THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT THE ROOF. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. POLICE RULED FAULT WAS THE OTHER DRIVER. WE WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS. LUGGAGE FLEW OUT THE BACK WINDOW, APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET INTO THE ROAD. THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED SUCCESSFULLY. NEITHER FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED. GLASS IN WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED, BUT PART OF THE GUARD RAIL (WE THINK) TOOK OUT THE GLASS IN A CIRCULAR PATTERN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A CURB AND CRASHED INTO A TREE WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE REAR AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WERE DAMAGED AND THE CONTACT WAITED FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO MAKE ITS DECISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED AS OF YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,200.
