2015 HONDA CR-V Complaints

My 2015 CRV suddenly had all the crash warning/adaptive cruise control/lane keep assist lights flashing…very alarming…so we brought it to White Rock Honda for to find out what was happening?? They diagnosed our Multi-purpose camera is faulty. $2193 to repair…plus $197.12 yesterday to diagnose!? We have done nothing to cause this substantial/expensive repair. We are shocked as we are long-time Honda owners, (3 Hondas in the past 20 years) and have never experienced anything like this.? Now we are in danger all of our safety features no longer functioning.? This this is a huge hardship for us at this time as I just began a gradual return to work this week after an illness. I need to safely rely on this car every day for my long commute from Surrey to Richmond.? So as mentioned, this is a hardship that we had no part in causing – and we feel is entirely unfair. We have contacted Honda Customer Relations. We have forwarded the diagnostic receipt, the situation is now in mediation. -Yes, available for NHTSA inspection.

5/28/2023: Vehicle won’t start, AAA called and towed it to repair facility where they claimed they fixed the issue (battery replacement) 6/01/2023: Vehicle traveling WB SR520, where all dashboard warning lights started illuminating. At the same time, steering wheel locks up and infotainment screen shuts off. Was able to get vehicle off the freeway and onto the shoulder of a nearby exit ramp where it eventually died. Called AAA again and had it towed back to the repair facility once again, where this time, the alternator failed.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while inspecting the vehicle, she became aware that the sunroof glass was cracked. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that it was a common failure with the year, make, and model vehicle. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the sunroof shattered. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer; however, the dealer did not provide any assistance. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Engine start failure. Intermittent you never know when it will happen. Several times the car just will not crank you push the button and all you get is a click. Has not been taken to a dealer or service center because this is a known Honda issue. It has been reported multiple times. You will be stranded in the middle of the night or midday it makes no difference you cannot get to an appointment or an emergency if needed. Causes great inconvenience when you are needed to be at an appointment at a certain time in your car will not crank at random times

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

My vehicle has had multiple parasitic battery events where the battery has been completely drained overnight. I have replaced the battery six times since May of 2022. I took my vehicle to my auto repair shop and they checked every fuse in the vehicle and could not find the problem. The shop called the Honda Dealer service center to get advice on what the problem might be and the dealer was unable to provide any recommended solution. I suspect the problem has something to do with a faulty automatic door lock/unlock system. When I approach the vehicle with my key fob, the vehicle will unlock the doors without me touching the door handle. When I get out of the car and push the button on the door handle to lock the doors it does lock, however as I walk away from the car, the doors unlock without me touching the door handle or any part of the car.

While traveling with my wife, going north bound on 7th Ave, Oroville, Ca, at 1:30pm, March 27, 2023, at 40 mph, we heard an extremely loud bang, as if we were hit by a baseball bat, or something had collided with us. Weather was clear, scattered clouds and temperature was around 60 degrees. We had no A/C or heat on with drivers side window open about 1 inch. Road was smooth, no potholes or bumps. There was a truck oncoming, towards us in opposite lane, but had not yet passed us when we heard "bang". I pulled over and assessed what it was. Upon looking up, was surprised to see and hear the sunroof glass shattering. I had a roll of electrical tape and quickly used it to hopefully stop glass from falling into car. I drove very carefully home with sunroof shade closed. Upon arriving at home, I proceeded to use clear box tape and secured both top and bottom, of still cracking glass, and at this current time, remains so. As of this date, Honda is back ordered for this glass and is stating it will be 2 months until available.

For a few years now, my 2015 CRV EX has made whinning sounds when driving. At stoplights/stop signs when the vehicle was not in motion, it would shake violently at times. As time has progressed (approx 114000 miles), there is now a grinding and clicking noise that worsens when accelerating. Even in park, the grinding noise has become more noticeable. When going downhill, the gears do not want to change as they should because once I am on level ground, the RPM decreases but does not when car is in motion downhill. At times, my CRV jerks when the transmission finally changes gears. A more noticeable whine/whistling can be heard constantly when my vehicle is in motion. At stop signs/lights, the grinding has become more audible and it shakes to the point of embarrassment. There is a click noise when I start it to let it warm up. As each day passes the symptoms get worse. Additionally, the battery in the 2015 Honda CRV EX must have a bad electrical flaw. I have had consistent battery drainage issues shortly after purchasing it new in 2015. I have had batteries replaced several times. Now, to insure my vehicle will start in the mornings, I have had to disengage the battery terminals overnight and each time I get out of my vehicle. This problem existed basically since I purchased it. There are some serious flaws with this vehicle, and the way it shakes at time along with the straining, clicking, and grinding transmission sounds that something may malfunction and cause me to have an accident while the vehicle is in motion. I have researched where other 2015 Honda CRV EX owners have had the same issues. There is a problem, and these issues need to be addressed to protect drivers and their passengers. As of today, I will never own another Honda. As a driver of the vehicle, when you feel unsafe traveling or wake up to a dead battery that has been drained overnight, the issue should be addressed and cconsumers' concerns should be seriously considered.

There is an issue with the VCT actuator in all 2.4 liters engine built by Honda from 2011 to 2016. I have a 2015 Honda CRV and I am worried that it may cause a major breakdown for me on the road or a major accident due to this. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer multiple times for this issue and they refuse to fix it saying it is out of warranty and we cannot do anything. Tried calling Honda corporate customer service and they hang up on me . There are thousands of Honda owners who are suffering with the same issues. Why is there not a recall so far for this fix as Honda was able to resolve this issues with 2017 engine onward. Please look into it or if you need more information I can show you multiple Honda forums with the same complaints. Please force Honda moters Co to own the responsibility of fixing this issue as it is a manufacturing defect, not a regular wear and tear.

I bought this vehicle new. We have 2 key fobs and change the batteries in them when necessary. The past year, a new occurrence developed: one fob will lock the doors but not always allow them to be unlocked. I tried unlocking the doors from inside the car, using the lock/unlock on the driver's arm rest (the windows were open) but they would not unlock. I had to get the other fob to unlock the doors. This scares me!!! I called Honda but was told there have been no reported similar issues, and they told me to go to a dealer. Because the issue doesn't always happen, I can't guarantee the fob will not work when the dealer has the car. I would appreciate advice as to how to handle this issue. Many thanks!
