2015 HONDA CR-V Complaints

WE HAD BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV FROM O DONNEL HONDA IN ELLICOTT CITY (NEAR BALTIMORE). WE HAD ADDED AN ACCESSORY OF A REMOTE STARTER. THE DEALER INSTALLED THE REMOTE STARTER BUT IT IS NOT WORKING (CAR HAS TO BE TWICE STARTED AND RESTARTED). DEALER HAS TOLD US THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH ALL CRVS WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. WE WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHILE BUYING THE CAR. WE CONSIDER THIS AS FRAUDULENT PRACTICE. I AM REQUESTING DOT TO PLEASE HELP US ASK HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. EITHER THE REMOTE STARTER SHOULD BE REINSTALLED OR ANOTHER STARTER SHOULD BE INSTALLED WHICH WORKS CORRECTLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THIS IS A KNOWN ERROR (AS DEALER SAID) THEN ALL HONDA CRVS SHOULD BE RECALLED. RESTARTING THE CAR TWICE OR MORE DAMAGES THE CAR AND COULD LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES IF CAR STARTER STOPS WORKING SOONER THAN EXPECTED. WE RELY ALL OUR CAR FOR ALL PERSONAL, FAMILY AND BUSINESS NEEDS. IF A NEW CAR BREAKS DOWN DUE TO SUCH FAULTY PROGRAMMING, IT WILL CAUSE IMMENSE DAMAGE.

I HAVE BROUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA 2015 CRV FROM ONE OF THE HONDA DEALER IN SAN LEANDRO, CA. FEW DAYS LATER, I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION ON THE FRONT SEATS OF THE CAR WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN/SIGNAL WITH CAR IS IN THE DRIVE MODE (D) WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PADDLE. THE VIBRATION IS RANDOM AND NOT ALWAYS BUT CAN BE FEEL AT THE BACK OF YOUR BODY AND IT IS VERY STRONG SOMETIME THAT AS A DRIVER YOU GET DISTRACTED AND FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU HAVE TO ARE STUCK IN SOME TRAFFIC JAM AND HAVE TO STOP LONGER THEN THE VIBRATION ON BOTH THE FRONT SEAT IS QUITE NOTICING AND CAUSES IRRITATION ON THE BACK AND YOU CANNOT SIT FOR LONG IN WHILE THE SEATS VIBRATING. AND I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE HELPLESS AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA. MOST OF THE 2015 HONDA CRV HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT'S BEEN MORE THEN 8 MONTHS, BUT HONDA DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO FIX IT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC RESET THE THROTTLE POSITION, PERFORMED CRANK POSITION RE-LEARN, AND IDLE RE-LEARN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT FAILED TO REMEDY THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 886.

IN JAN 2015 I PURCHASED MY FOURTH HONDA SINCE (AND MY SECOND CRV) FOR THE ABSOLUTE RELIABILITY, QUALITY, DURABILITY, AND PEACE OF MIND THAT I HAVE ALWAYS FELT WITH THE BRAND. THAT HOWEVER CHANGED DRAMATICALLY ON JULY 16, 2015 WHEN, AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30PM, I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AT APPROX 5MPH. AS I EASED INTO THE PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD. IT WAS WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE ENTIRE CAR WENT UP ONTO THE CURB AND INTO THE BUSHES BEYOND. I COULD NOT STOP MY CAR! BEYOND THESE BUSHES WAS A MAIN ROAD WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. INTUITIVELY, I SLAMMED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH ULTIMATELY STOPPED THE CAR. MY CAR WAS SO ENTANGLED IN THE BUSHES THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE IT TOWED OUT. ON JULY 21, THE HONDA DEALER SCANNED ALL SYSTEMS FOR DTCS, TESTED BRAKES, AND CHECKED THROTTLE PEDAL OPERATION AND FOUND AT THIS TIME THE BRAKING SYSTEM, THROTTLE SYSTEM AND SAFETY OVERRIDE SYSTEMS ARE FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT IS APPARENT THAT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA CORP ON JULY 21 AND WAS ASSIGNED A REGIONAL CASE MGR WHO INFORMED ME THAT SHE WOULD SCHEDULE AN AMERICAN HONDA REP TO INSPECT MY CAR. TO DATE, I STILL AWAIT FOLLOW UP ACTION FROM MY CASE MGR. THIS EVENT HAS CAUSED, AND CONTINUES TO CAUSE, GREAT ANXIETY AND STRESS FOR ME. I USE THIS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE VEHICLE DAILY AND AM CONSTANTLY WORRIED THAT THIS MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL ABERRATION WILL REPEAT ITSELF, AND WITH A LESS FORTUNATE OUTCOME.

2015 CR-V TOURING VIBRATES IN PARK OR DRIVE (WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING). THE RPMS ARE ABOUT 550 TO 600 AND AT TIMES SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE WANTS TO TURN OFF. VIBRATION OVERALL IS PRETTY STRONG, I HOPE HONDA FIXES THIS ISSUE. A/C CAN BE ON OR OFF, SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH UP A SLOPE, THERE WAS ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STRUT, MOUNT BRACKET, SHOCK ABSORBER, AND REAR DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE VIBRATION AT IDLE, ENGINE SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION, AND LACK OF ACCELERATION ON A HIGHWAY MERGE ON THIS SITE, THE DEALERSHIP, AND TO HONDA, TO NO AVAIL. THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE SERPENTINE BELT BROKE WHILE I WAS 3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. THIS RENDERS THE CAR UNABLE TO DRIVE, AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED. WE EXPERIENCED STRONG VIBRATIONS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BEFORE I SMELLED BURNT RUBBER AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. COULD THERE BE A CONNECTION TO THE VIBRATION, OR IS THIS ANOTHER DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE? AS I READ THE POSTS, IT IS APPARENT THAT HONDA IS NOT DISCLOSING THE KNOWN VIBRATIONS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS AT THE LEAST UNETHICAL. DOES A FATALITY HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE?

MY NEWLY PURCHASED 2015 HONDA CRV WAS JUST 4 DAYS OLD FROM THE DEALERSHIP, WHEN I DROVE TO WORK FROM MY HOME (35 MILES INTO MY COMMUTE). I WAS GOING FROM 55 MPH TO 45 MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE VIBRATION WAS NOTICEABLE BECAUSE I FELT IT IN MY HANDS, WHILE GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL, AND ON THE DRIVERS-SIDE FLOORBOARD. WHEN I MADE IT TO WORK, I PARKED BUT KEPT THE CAR ON. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN "DRIVE" AND THE VIBRATION CONTINUED. I MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT TO "NEUTRAL" AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE SOUND OF THE CAR CHANGE AND THE VIBRATION EASED A BIT. IT'S VERY UPSETTING TO KNOW THAT WHEN I ASKED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID ONLY 1 PERSON COMPLAINED, BUT THAT THEY'VE SOLD HUNDREDS OF CRVS. TODAY, AUG 5, 2015, I BROUGHT IN MY HONDA TO THE DEALERSHIP (THEY WERE AWARE THAT I WAS BRINGING IN THE HONDA AND THEY WERE NICE TO GIVE ME A "LOANER" CAR) WHILE THEY DID AN INSPECTION. THEY IMMEDIATELY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS A WHEEL ALIGNMENT ISSUE. LATER THAT AFTERNOON, WHEN I PICKED UP THE CRV, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND THAT IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE. I ASKED THEM IF THEY'VE RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE VIBRATION ISSUE. THAT'S WHEN THEY GAVE ME A HONDA TECH LINE SUMMARY ARTICLE DATED APRIL 7, 2015. IF THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HAD DISCLOSED THAT INFORMATION, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE!! I ASKED ONE SALESMAN SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ANY RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS AND I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!!!!

WHEN ENTERING A PRIVATE ELDERLY HOUSING PARKING LOT TO ATTEND A MEETING, I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2015 HONDA CRV AT ABOUT 5 MPH. AFTER SLOWING FOR A SPEED BUMP, I WENT TOWARD A PARKING SPOT TRAVELING AT ABOUT 2 MPH WHERE I COULD JUST PULL STRAIGHT IN. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKE, IT WAS ROCK SOLID AND VEHICLE SEEMED TO SELF ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE JUMPED THE CURB WHICH HAD A STEEL DRAINAGE PLATE, AND TOOK OUT A SIGN KNOCKING IT TO THE GROUND. A RESIDENT AT THE FACILITY WAS STANDING CLOSE BY AND IT SCARED HIM SO BAD HE TOOK OFF. HAD I BEEN JUST A FEW FEET CLOSER TO HIM, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY MY VEHICLE. THE IMPACT WITH THE CURB AND SIGN SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE BUMPER, VALANCE, AND RIGHT FOG LAMP ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE HONDA CRV IS THREE MONTHS OLD.

CVT TRANSMISSION IS CAUSING VIBRATIONS AT IDLE. NO SUPPORT FROM HONDA HAS BEEN MADE TO FIX THIS.
