2015 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I USED MY 2015 HONDA CR-V AWD TOURING TO TOW A TRAILER WITH TWO SCOOTERS LOADED. THE TOURING TRIM HAS THE LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) WHICH USES A CAMERA TO READ THE ROAD MARKINGS AND WILL BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL IF THE DRIVER IS GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE CENTER OR SIDES OF THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE SPEED LIMIT ON A DAY WITH CLEAR WEATHER. WITH LKAS ON, WHEN THE TRAILER WOULD HIT A BUMP THE CRV WOULD OVER-CORRECT THE STEERING BACK AND FORTH CAUSING THE TRAILER TO SWAY AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET UNDER CONTROL. AT 70 MPH, IT WAS DANGEROUS. I HAD TO KEEP THE LKAS TURNED OFF TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SAFE. WITH LKAS OFF, THE TRAILER PULLED GREAT AND NEVER SWAYED. IT SURPRISED ME THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE WOULD BE VASTLY DIFFERENT WITH THE LKAS SAFETY FEATURE ACTIVATED. THE OWNER'S MANUAL HAS NO WARNINGS ABOUT USING THE LKAS WHILE TOWING IN EITHER THE LKAS SECTION OR THE TOWING SECTION. THE CLOSEST APPLICABLE WARNING IS IF THE CAR IS OVERLOADED THE CAMERA MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD MARKINGS. MY TRAILER IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. IT WAS WELL BALANCED SIDE TO SIDE AND FRONT TO BACK. IT WAS NOT OVERLOADING THE HITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS RIDING LEVEL. THE TRAILER AND BIKES WEIGH ABOUT 1,100 LBS. THE VEHICLE IS RATED TO TOW 1,500 LBS. I HAD PREVIOUSLY TOWED A SMALL UTILITY TRAILER WITH SIMILAR RESULTS. IF THE TRAILER OR HOW IT WAS LOADED WAS TO BLAME, I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE CONTROL ISSUES WHETHER THE LKAS WAS ON OR OFF. I ONLY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN LKAS WAS ON. I HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND OPENED CASE #04800645.

ENGINE STALLS OCCASIONALLY DURING THE PERIOD OF FIRST TEN MINUTES AFTER IT IS TURNED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTER FAILED. THE SEAT HAD TO BE READJUSTED TO CORRECT THE HEIGHT EACH TIME WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN THIS KEYLESS ENTRY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, ENGINE CAN BE TURNED OFF AND DRIVER CAN EXIT WITHOUT SHIFTING TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WILL SOUND AN ALARM AND DISPLAY "SHIFT TO PARK" ON ONE OF IT'S SCREENS. HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING ON ANY FORM OF INCLINE. WE HAVE ALMOST LOST THE CAR THREE TIMES IN PEOPLE'S DRIVEWAYS WITH THIS PROBLEM. YES, THE PREFERRED SOLUTION IS TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEFORE EXITING BUT THAT IS NOT A REAL-WORLD SOLUTION FOR FLAT-LANDERS (THIS SOLUTION IS ONLY USED ON STEEP INCLINES). OUR PREVIOUS IGNITION KEY CAR WOULD NOT LET US REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN PARK. THIS DEFICIENCY COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN OUT-OF-CONTROL RUNAWAY CAR.

MAY 23RD, 2016 AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC. DEAR SIRS: I WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO A CHRONIC PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE. ONE THAT IN SPITE OF INNUMERABLE VISITS TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE A SERIOUS CONCERN ON THEIR PART, REMAINS UNSOLVED. THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 HONDA CRV, VIN # [XXX] PURCHASED FROM GILLMAN HONDA IN RICHMOND, TEXAS, BUT SERVICED LOCALLY BY VICTORY HONDA IN VICTORIA, TEXAS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS THAT OF 9,838 MILES. THE PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IS THAT OF A " CHECK TIRE" MESSAGE THAT DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO REALITY. THE SIGNAL HAS TURNED ON, ABOUT ONCE A WEEK SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. VICTORY HONDA HAS EXAMINED THE CAR ON AL LEAST TWELVE OCCASIONS, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY TIRE DEALER AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED. THIS HAS BECOME VERY ANNOYING, ON ONE HAND BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW THE TRUE STATUS OF THE TIRES AND I HAVE EXPENDED A LOT OF TIME AND HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FIND ANOTHER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT AT THE DEALER. I NEED A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, AND I NEED IT NOW! I HAVE DONE SOME INTERNET SEARCH AND I DO NOT SEEM TO BE THE ONLY OWNER WITH SUCH A PROBLEM, YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND IT NEED THIS RESOLVED. I WOULD EXPECT ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE STOPPED AND IDLING WHILE IN GEAR, VIBRATION FELT THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS IMMEDIATELY OBSERVABLE, DISTRACTING, AND COULD POSSIBLY GIVE ME A HEADACHE ON LONGER STOP-AND-GO TRIPS. CONTACTED HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAD DEALER PERFORM THE APPLICABLE FIXES BUT ISSUE REMAINS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN'T FEEL THE VIBRATION, HOWEVER, THEY AREN'T IN THE CAR AS LONG AS I AM (OR ARE TRYING TO COVER THE PROBLEM). HONDA CLAIMS THEY CAN DO NOTHING ELSE BUT THEY WILL INFORM ME OF ANY FIXES IN THE FUTURE. ALSO MENTIONED THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS ISSUE ELSEWHERE AS THEY CAN NO LONGER HELP ME AT THIS TIME. PER THEIR SUGGESTION, I'M REPORTING THIS HERE.

I PURCHASE A NEW CRV ON 9/28/15, THE FIRST WEEK DRIVING IT I NOTICE A VIBRATION ON THE FRONT SEAT WHILE THE CAR STOP AT RED LIGHTS, SOMETIMES IT GOT REALLY BAD, I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED TO HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH THIS ANNOYING PROBLEM, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER ON 11/06/15. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING, THEY WORK ON IT FOR 13 DAYS, THEY TOLL ME THAT IT WAS A SOFWARE PROBLEM AND THE FUEL ECONOMY MIGHT GET IMPACTED BY THE REPAIR. THE PROBLEM IS BACK, THE VIBRATION GETS VERY ANNOYING AND I AM AFRAID THAT WITH TIME SAFETY WILL BE AN ISSUE. THE GOVERMENT SHOULD ACT IN A PROACTIVE WAY BEFORE DEATHS START HAPPENING . I BELIEVE THE ENGINE IS SEATING IN A WEAK SUPPORT AND HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM WITH THIS CRV. WHILE TAKING A TRIP IN HIGHWAY I NOTICED THE VIBRATION FELT WORSE, I CHANGE GEAR TO NEUTRAL WHILE WAITING ON RED LIGHT TO CHANGE AND THE VIBRATION STOPPED.

THIS IS MY FAULT FOR ASSUMING AND NOT READING VEHICLE INVOICE OR ASKING SALES PERSON, BUT FOR WHAT PAID AND MODEL AND AREA WE LIVE IN, I FEEL THIS OPTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN STANDARD. NO HEATED OUTSIDE MIRRORS. MAYBE BECAUSE IT HAS THE FEATURE THAT CAN SEE OUTSIDE RIGHT SIDE FROM INSIDE OF CAR ON CONSOLE, REMOTELY??? BUT THIS AREA GETS SNOW AND ICE IN THE WINTER, AND, NO HEATED MIRRORS WILL BE SOMETHING TO GET USED TO; MAYBE A SAFETY ISSUE??? DOUBLE CHECK SO DON'T MISS WHAT WANT, I GUESS.

THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. GOING DOWN SHORT MODERATE HILL ON HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DROP INTO A LOWER GEAR; AS IF, IT HAD A STANDARD TRANSMISSION (HAS AUTOMATIC). THEN SEEMED TO BE IN LIMBO FOR VERY SHORT TIME, RESUMED AS NORMAL AND HAVE NOT HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT. VERY STRANGE FOR A NEW VEHICLE.
