2015 HONDA CR-V Complaints

ENGINE VIBRATES AT IDLE AND GET WORSE IF YOU TURN ON A/C. NO SOLUTION TO RESOLVE ISSUE CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING.

I PURCHASED A 2015 CR-V. ON OCTOBER 1ST NOTICING SIGNIFICANT VIBRATIONS AT IDLE WHICH BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED UNDER WAY ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MILES / HOUR. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE, TO THE DEALER, ON OCTOBER 3RD TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATION MIGHT BE. THE VIBRATIONS WERE CONFIRMED BY THE MECHANIC DURING A TEST DRIVE. THE FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE WERE CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE WITHIN SPECS. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS FOUND INSTRUCTING THE MECHANIC TO PERFORM A SOFTWARE UPDATE. A SECOND TEST DRIVE SHOWED NO IMPROVEMENT. HONDA TECHNICIANS WERE CALLED WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THAT HONDA WAS WORKING ON IT (APPARENTLY SINCE 2014). THE TECHNICIANS INDICATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THOUGHT TO BE RELATED TO "HARMONIC DISTORTIONS" ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THE DRIVE TRAIN, FOUND IN THE HONDA ACCORD, IN THE 2015 CR-V. THE HONDA TECHNICIANS OFFERED ASSURANCES THAT THERE WERE NO SAFETY ISSUES. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHO CHECKED THE SAME MECHANICAL PARAMETERS INCLUDING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. THE MATTER HAS BEEN FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGED, BY HONDA, AS EVIDENCED IN A YOUTUBE VIDEO (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=VEJ45WX9YCI). A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE WEB SHOWS QUITE A NUMBER OF REPORTS OF THE ISSUE. APART FROM THE EFFECT ON DRIVEABILITY AND NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT, MY CONCERNS ARE THE POTENTIAL LONG TERM EFFECTS ON THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO THE DRIVE TRAIN AND OTHER POSSIBLE SAFETY RELATED EFFECTS.

THE CAR HAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION ISSUE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR IN DRIVE. THIS VIBRATION IS FELT ON THE INSIDE THROUGHOUT THE CAR. HAVING TO PLACE CAR IN N, AT STOPLIGHTS (MANY ARE NOW DOING IT, AND SOME HONDA DEALERS ARE ADVOCATING IT ! THEY ALSO SUGGEST TURNING THE AC ON HIGH, TURN THE LIGHTS AND RADIO ON, ETC.) ALL OF THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING. IF ONE FORGETS TO PUT THE CAR INTO D IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE, HE COULD GET REAR ENDED, OR GET STRANDED UNDER A LIGHT; DRIVING IN S, HOWEVER, ONE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS IN TRAFFIC, AS THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY QUICKLY, AND IT TENDS TO LUNGE A BIT ! IN THIS INSTANCE, IT IS VERY EASY TO REAR-END A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. IN ADDITION, DRIVING IN S CUTS FUEL ECONOMY (I HAVE LEARNED ) ABOUT 25-30%. WHERE DID I LEARN TO TRY S INSTEAD OF D ? A HONDA DEALER !! SO, THIS IDEA THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN IS NOT TRUE FOR ALL DRIVERS WHO ARE TRYING TO REDUCE THE FATIGUING, ANNOYING EFFECTS OF THESE VIBES, SHUDDERS, AND SHAKES.

MY NEW 2015 HONDA CRV IS VIBRATING WHEN STOPPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. VIBRATION IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND NAUSEATING. THE VIBRATION GET WORST EVERYDAY. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT.

I PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CR-V WITH 35 MILES. BEFORE MY PURCHASE I TEST DROVE IT WITH NO COMPLAINTS. SHORTLY AFTER TAKING IT HOME AT ABOUT 500 MILES I NOTICED I VIBRATION WHILE MY HONDA CR-V IS IDLING. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO HAS DONE NOTHING YO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTERS WHO HAVE ALSO NOT OFFERED ME A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. IT VIBRATES REAL HARD WHEN I STOP , IT'S IDLING OR WHEN I'M IN REVERSE. IT ALSO TENDS TO WANT TO SHUT OFF . THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR ME THAT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. FOR A BRAND NEW CAR THIS SHOULD BE OCCURRING . I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT . I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME HELP IN GETTING SOME SOLUTION AS HONDA AND THE DEALER IS NOT HELPING ME. I FEEL VERY STUCK DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS A DEFECT. I WAS DECEIVED IN PURCHASING A CAR THAT OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE.

VIBRATIONS AND RUMBLES WHEN IN DRIVE WHILE AT STOPS WITH FOOT ON BRAKES. IT'S GETTING WORSE. INITIAL VISIT AT THE HONDA DEALER, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. THE SECOND TIME AT A DEALER THEY SAID AN ENGINE UPDATE WAS NEEDED AND SHOULD STOP IT. WELL IT GOT WORSE, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THE VIBRATION AND RUMBLE WAS DUPLICATED BUT HONDA DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. ROUGH IDLES AT STOPS AND LOW SPEEDS CAN CAUSE A STRAIN ON THE ENGINE AND EVENTUALLY ENGINE FAILURE. THE VIBRATION IS SO BAD THAT IT SENDS WAVES THRU MY FOOT WHEN IT'S ON THE BRAKES AND THE VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGH OUT MY BODY. THE FRONT AND BACK SEATS VIBRATES UNTIL MY 9 YEAR OLD THINKS THAT WE'RE GETTING A BUTT MASSAGE. THIS IS REALLY SAD AND AN UNFORTUNATE LOSS OF A LOYAL CUSTOMERS TRUST IN HONDA SINCE 1990.

I HAVE OWNED TWO PREVIOUS CR-V'S AND HONDA IS KNOWN AS SMOOTH, QUIET VEHICLES. SINCE OWNING THIS CAR IN LATE MARCH, I HAVE HAD VIBRATION NOISES WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER TWICE, AND DURING THE LAST VISIT IN MID-AUGUST, I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT HASN'T COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO FIX IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, HEARING THIS NOISE EVERY TIME I DRIVE, DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A HAPPY HONDA OWNER, AND HAVING REMORSE ON TRADING IN MY 2012 CRV FOR THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE, SEATS, AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210.

BOUGHT THE CRV 2015 A MONTH AGO, STARTED EXPERIENCING VIBRATION WHEN IDLE, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHEN PARKED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL, THEY DON'T SEE A PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HONDA NOT HAVING A SOLUTION FOR IT. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. NO HELP AT THE DEALER, TREATED ME AS IF I WAS CRAZY.

VIBRATION IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT (BOTTOM AND SEATBACK) BOTH WHEN STOPPED AND WHEN DRIVING. VIBRATION IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR IS STOPPED. WE HAVE CONCERNS OVER THE SAFE CONTROL OF THE CAR, GIVEN THIS VIBRATION. IN ADDITION, THE REAL ANNOYANCE OF THE VIBRATION MEANS WE TAKE OUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, EXASCERBATING SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS CONDITION WAS THERE WHEN THE CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME AND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SERVICE CONSULTANT AT CURRY HONDA, ATLANTA.
