2015 HONDA CR-V Complaints

SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2015 CRV TOURING I NOTICED SEVERE SHAKING WHILE IDLING. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR A 4 CYLINDER VEHICLE AND SINCE I HAD TRADED IN A V8 I WAS JUST NOT USED TO IT. I TOOK HIS WORD FOR IT AND HAVE UNFORTUNATELY BECOME ACCUSTOM TO IT BUT IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. NOW IT IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY ENOUGH TO WHERE IF YOU WERE DRIVING INSTEAD OF IDLING YOU MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS ALSO NOT BEEN MY ONLY SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY OTHER COMPLAINT IS THAT ON CERTAIN ROAD TYPES THE CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE I ACTUALLY PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY HUSBAND TO LET HIM KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE NEW AND WERE GRABBING THE LINES IN THE ROAD AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T LAST LONG. WELL, HERE IT IS FIVE MONTHS AND 4000 MILES LATER AND IT'S ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE! THE CAR VEERS TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT UNCONTROLLABLY. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WHEN THERE WAS ICE ON THE ROAD AND IT ACTUALLY PULLED US AND MADE US TEMPORARILY SLIDE ON THE ICE DUE TO IT JERKING AND HE ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THIS IS THE LEAST SAFE I'VE FELT IN ANY CAR THAT I'VE EVER OWNED. I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY EVERY TIME WE RIDE IN IT AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW HONDA HAS HANDLED THE COMPLAINTS. *TR

TOOK DELIVERY OF 2015 CRV EXL ON 04-09-15. FOUND PRONOUNCED DRIVE TRAIN SHUDDER WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE AT SPEEDS FROM IDLE TO 30MPH AT 1000-1250 RPM. RETURNED VEH. TO LIA HONDA IN NORTHAMPTON MASS. WHERE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE AND DOCUMENT COMPLAINT. SERVICE WRITER STATES THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF ISSUE BUT HAS NO FIX. MY 2011 CRV RAN SMOOTH AS GLASS. HONDA HAS BEEN THE BENCHMARK FOR QUALITY VEHICLES BUT HAS REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THE 2015 CRV. IF A MACHINE SHUDDERS OR VIBRATES WHEN IN OPERATION THERE IS AN INDICATION THAT IT WAS MIS-DESIGNED, SOMETHING IS BROKEN OR WILL BREAK IN THE NEAR FUTURE. REAL SHAME THAT HONDA RELEASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. WILL CERTAINLY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMETHING COMES APART IN THE POWERTRAIN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT SPEED. *TR

MY 2015 HONDA CR-V TOURING MODEL VIBRATES INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS WORSE WHEN AT IDLE SUCH AS AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. IT DOES HAPPEN, DANGEROUSLY SO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65-76 MPH. HONDA CALL THIS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR" "AN ANNOYANCE". IT IS MORE THAN THIS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOW ONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

MY BRAND NEW HONDA AFTER DRIVEN FOR 15-20 MINUTES BEGINS TO SHAKE/VIBRATE WHEN IDLING, SITTING AT A LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE SEATS VISIBLY SHAKE. WHEN EASING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR LUNGES SLIGHTLY. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL GET WORSE AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR FROM MY DEALER THAT THERE CURRENTLY ARE NO FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

EXTREME VIBRATIONS AT IDLE SPEED, MODERATE VIBRATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT STILL SELLING THESE CARS.

MY HONDA CR-V VIBRATES AT IDLE WHILE IN GEAR AT APPROXIMATELY 500-600 RPMS. IT ALSO VIBRATES WHILE ACCELERATING AT ALL SPEEDS UNDER APPROXIMATELY 2100-2200 RPMS. THIS CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE AND IS DISTRACTING, HENCE A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VIBRATION ON THE FRONT END, MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MOST SEVERE AT 60-70 MPH RANGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES IN MARCH. THE FIRST TIME THEY BALANCED ALL THE TIRES, THE SECOND TIME THEY PUT TWO NEW TIRES IN THE FRONT. I DROVE IT ON A TRIP (ABOUT 600 MILES TOTAL) AND IT WAS EXTREMELY IRRITATING THE WHOLE TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE THIRD VISIT TO THE DEALER AND I DROVE IT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. WE THEN DROVE ANOTHER NEW 2015 CRV AND IT DROVE THE SAME WAY. HIS BEST SUGGESTION WAS TO INVEST IN MICHELINS TO REDUCE THE ROAD NOISE. HE CALLED BACK ABOUT A WEEK LATER TO LET ME KNOW THERE WERE "SOME KNOWN ISSUES" AND HE LET ME KNOW IT THEY FOUND A FIX. I THEN SEARCHED NHTSA ONLY TO DISCOVER SIMILAR PROBLEMS LISTED , SO HERE I AM, POSTING MY COMPLAINT TO ADD TO THE LIST. HONDA HAS ALSO POSTED TO ANNOUNCE THEY'LL BE RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BLOCK BUT YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER AT THIS POINT FOR MINE. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE VIBRATION AT IDLING, WHICH IS ALSO ANNOYING, BUT IT WAS NOTED ON CONSUMER REPORTS WHEN I RESEARCHED BEFORE BUYING THE CAR SO THERE YA GO. AT THIS POINT THE MAIN FIX NEEDS TO BE THE VIBRATION AT DRIVING SPEED, AND I THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THE IDLING ISSUE TOO. I SHOULD MENTION THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS KEPT IN CONTACT WITH ME AND SAID HE IS DETERMINED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE REVERSING WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 6/18/15*CN UPDATED 10/05/217*CN

I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON APRIL 13, 2015 AND AFTER OPERATING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IN (DRIVE) IDLING, THERE IS A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT SEATS AND WHEN I PROCEED TO DRIVE IT DISSIPATES AND STOPS. *TR

THIS BRAND NEW HONDA CR-V AWD TOURING 2015 (LESS THAN 3 WEEKS OLD) HAS AN ISSUE OF VIBRATION OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS, STEERING WHEEL, AND CAR OVERALL (E.G., DOORS). THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN A FEW MILES AND THE CAR STOPS (IDLES) IN DRIVE MODE (E.G., AN A STOP LIGHT). WITHIN SECONDS THE SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIBRATE, SOMETIMES UNCOMFORTABLY. THE VIBRATION GOES AWAY AS THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE, SO IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN NOTICEABLY WHEN IDLING WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND THE VIBRATION IS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH THAT MAKES THE DRIVER (OR PASSENGERS) AWARE AND SUSPICIOUS OF A PROBLEM. A CRACK ON THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOTICED APR/12/2015 (STARTING AT THE BOTTOM EDGE AT DRIVER'S SIDE AND SPREADING TOWARDS THE CENTER). I WENT TO DEALER (MANCHESTER HONDA) APR/13/2015, SHOWED VIBRATION ISSUE TO SELLER WHICH WAS REPRODUCED AT THE DEALER PARKING LOT, AND WAS LATER INFORMED BY A SERVICE REP THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF ISSUE. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE APR/14/2015, AND WAS DIRECTED TO A HONDA VIDEO (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=A6K6JPH7ZAK) AND OPENED A CASE, NO RESPONSE YET. THE HONDA REP TOLD ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, THAT HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT THEY "HOPE" TO HAVE A FIX SOMEDAY. THE WINDSHIELD WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS THE HONDA DEALER DECLINED TO REPLACED IT (THEY CLAIM IT WAS CAUSED BY A STONE/ROCK CHIP, A REALLY TINY ONE, SIZE OF A PINHEAD OR ABOUT 0.5 TO 1 MM). I STILL WONDER IF IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THE VIBRATIONS OR DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. I ALSO WONDER IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT REPRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE. IF MY OLDER CR-V (2003) WOULD VIBRATE THIS WAY I WOULD TAKE IT TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE I WOULD BE SUSPICIOUS OF AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. *TR
