2015 HONDA CR-V Complaints

ON MAY 2ND, 2015, WE PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CR-V. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE A WATER STAIN WAS NOTICED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE B PILLAR ROOF. PART OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT INCLUDED REMOVING THE STAIN THAT SEEMED TO BE FROM A PARTIALLY OPENED SUNROOF DURING SHIPPING. THE STAIN WAS REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. A SHORT TIME LATER ANOTHER WATER STAIN DEVELOPED IN THE SAME AREA. AGAIN THE STAIN WAS REMOVED AND THE VEHICLE CHECKED. AFTER THE CR-V'S THIRD VISIT TO THE SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN "INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SEAL SEALER" WAS USED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY. OUR HONDA HAD TO BE SENT TO AN OUTSIDE HONDA APPROVED BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. ON DISCOVERING THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, WE NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF OUR "NEW" VEHICLE. GIVEN THE FACT IT HAD SUSTAINED WATER DAMAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO BE PROPERLY REPAIRED WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES. WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT WATER BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF METAL ROOF PANELS. IN TURN THAT COULD LEAD TO RUST, WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE RELEASE OF THE SEAM SEALER THAT HELPS PROVIDE THE RIGIDITY NEEDED FOR ROLLOVER CRASHES. ALSO, THE CONCERN OF MOLD DEVELOPING IN THE ROOF AND CARPET. UPON HEARING OUR CONCERNS THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO TRADE IN OUR WATER DAMAGED CR-V FOR A NEW ONE. WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES THIS CR-V ALSO DEVELOPED A ROOF LEAK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP AND BODY SHOP HAS HAD OUR CURRENT CR-V TWO WEEKS, TO FIX THE LEAKED CAUSED BY HONDA NOT USING ENOUGH SEALER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF PANELS AND RAIL STUDS.HONDA IS NOW USING OUR CR-V AS FIELD REPORT CASE STUDY TO SUBMIT TO HONDA ENGINEERS. WE WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL OUT OF CONCERN FOR OTHER CR-V OWNERS. MANY OWNERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF MOLD DANGERS AND STRUCTURAL ROOF WEAKNESS.

CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 7/1/15. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, AROUND 500 MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR AT IDLE (I.E., STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT). ENTIRE BODY OF CAR SHUDDERS SIGNIFICANTLY CAUSING DISCOMFORT TO PASSENGERS AND NAUSEA IN SOME CASES. THE PROBLEM TYPICALLY BEGINS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 5-10 MINUTES, AND WORSENS THE LONGER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING. HONDA SERVICE SAYS THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND DEALER REFUSES TO PROVIDE A REFUND.

THE 2015 CRV EX VIBRATES AT IDLE SO BADLY THAT IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE IS GOING TO STALL. IT ALSO VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. THIS STARTED AS SOON AS I PURCHASED THE CRV. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2014, WITH ONLY 200 MILES ON IT, I WAS TOLD HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS WORKING ON A FIX FOR IT. IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS WITH MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER AND STILL NO FIX. I HAVE BEEN TOLD RECENTLY AT THE DEALER THAT HONDA WAS MOST LIKELY NOT GOING TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE COST. IT CONTINUES TO BE A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND AT IDLE AND I HOPE HONDA WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS ISSUE. TO ME THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS CORRECTION NOW. ALSO, I HAVE HAD A NOISE FROM UNDER THE CRV DRIVING OVER DIPS OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT LOW SPEEDS, MOST NOTICEABLE BELOW 30 MPH. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAS SINCE REPLACED TO REAR STRUTS 2 TIMES ALREADY AND STILL THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. I WILL CONTINUE TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN MY WORST EXPERIENCE WITH A NEW CAR SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY FIRST CAR SOME 30 YEARS AGO.

MY NEW HONDA 2015 CR-V LX IS VIBRATING BADLY. IT VIBRATES IN ANY SPEED AND ON PARKING. IT STARTED ON THE 5 DAY AND GOT WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I FEEL NAUSEOUS. IT CREATES VERY UNSAFE DRIVING FOR ME. MY BODY SHAKES. DRIVER SEAT SHAKES. AND VIBRATION IS VERY LOUD. HONDA DEALERSHIP KNEW THE PROBLEM BUT STILL SOLD ME DEFECTIVE CAR. DRIVING THIS CAR CREATES DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE ROAD. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CHANGE LANE, TRANSMISSION STARTS MAKING LOUD SOUNDS.

THE CAR VIBRATES AND SHUDDERS DURING IDLE AT STOPS, AS WELL AS ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS--DURING THE SHUDDER CYCLE, IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE COULD SPUTTER OUT BUT IT CYCLES BACK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND IS NOT DISCLOSING IT TO NEW BUYERS, AND DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. DEALER SAYS OH YEAH, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND HONDA IS WORKING ON IT. THIS IS AN ABOMINATION; THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONTINUED TO BE SOLD AND OWNERS SHOULD HAVE A REMEDY.

STRONG VIBRATION AT IDEL (WHILE IN "D") WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. ALSO VIBRATES WHILE ACCELERATING BETWEEN 1000 TO 1500 RPM. TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY DID SOME TESTING ON IT AND FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT DIDNT FIX THE ISSUE BY SAYING HONDA DONT HAVE ANY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND HONDA IS WORKING ON SOLUTIONS ALSO SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

VIBRATION AT OR ABOUT 2000 RPM FELT IN STEERING WHEEL AND INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE ARM REST. REPORTED TO HONDA 3 TIMES WITH NO FIXED RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCE AND PERFORMED ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURE DISCLOSED TO THE DEALER THAT THE FAILURE WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF A DESIGN ERROR, WITH NO KNOWN REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,800.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION THROUGHOUT ENTIRE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPED, IN DRIVE AND ENGINE IDLING. THIS HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEB 2015. REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID "...IT'S A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE". NOT HAPPY WITH THIS.
