I HAVE A VERY KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR - VERY DISTURBING VIBRATION IN THE CABIN, WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING IN THE 800-1800 RPM RANGE, WHICH IS A VERY TYPICAL RANGE IN EVERY DAY DRIVING. BASICALLY THE PROBLEM IS PRESENT DURING MOST OF THE CITY DRIVING. DURING THE DRIVE - THIS VIBRATION QUICKLY ESCALATES FROM BEING VERY ANNOYING - TO DISTURBING AND EVENTUALLY IT CAUSES HEADACHE AND MINOR NAUSEA, WHICH DEFINITELY AFFECTS MY DRIVING ABILITY!! NOW, I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, AND OWNED IT FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. SINCE THE PROBLEM APPEARED ALMOST RIGHT AWAY - I'VE BEEN TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. EVENTUALLY THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED ALL THE OFFICIAL "FIXES" TO THIS PROBLEM: 1) NEW RADIATOR CUSHIONS, TRANSMISSION MOUNTS, AND FRONT HEAD RESTRAINTS. 2) UPDATE OF THE 'PCM SOFTWARE' NOW, AFTER THE FIRST SERIES OF FIXES, THE VIBRATION GOT A LITTLE BIT LOWER (THOUGH IT STILL REMAINED).. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THESE ARE THE ONLY AVAILABLE FIXES AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT THEY CAN DO. WELL, WHAT COULD WE DO? WE ACCEPTED IT AS IS.. AS SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO TRY TO LIVE WITH. HOWEVER!!! THAT WAS NOT ALL!! LATER THAT YEAR, WE GOT A OFFICIAL LETTER FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH A REQUEST TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SOME KIND OF SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH WE DID. AND AFTER THAT "UPGRADE" THE VIBRATION GOT MUCH WORST THEN EVEN BEFORE! OF COURSE I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT VIBRATION. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND CLAIMED THAT AT THIS POINT THE VIBRATION IS THE SAME LEVEL AS ON THE REST OF SAME MODEL CARS, AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ANYMORE AND THAT I JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT IT! ME AND MY WIFE CANNOT DRIVE IT FOR ANY PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME BECAUSE THE VIBRATION IS VERY DISTURBING AND GIVES HEADACHE. *TR

THE 2015 CR-V IS PRONE TO SEVERE VIBRATIONS AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IDLE. THE CONDITION EXISTS FROM THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AND WORSENS OVER TIME. THE VIBRATIONS ARE DISTRACTING.IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, BUT IN GEAR AND THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING AND BETWEEN 1,000'1,200 RPMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RPMS NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO EPA REGULATIONS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TECHNICIAN UPDATED UNKNOWN SOFTWARE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,278.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A SMALL EXPLOSION. MY SUNROOF'S INNER PANE OF GLASS THEN SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. NO ROCK OR ROAD DEBRIS CAUSED THE ISSUE AS ALL DAMAGE WAS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. *TR

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 30 DEGREES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID DOES NOT DISCHARGE TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID RESORVIOR IS CLOSE TO THE BUMPBER AND THEREFORE IT FREEZES. DRIVING IN SNOW CONDITION IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AS YOU CAN NOT CLEAN THE MUDDY WINDSHIELD. IT'S MATTER OF TIME WHEN HUMANS WILL START TO GET HURT DUE TO THIS FLAW. HONDA NEEDS TO OWN THE ISSUE AND COME UP WITH SOLUTION. THE WIPER FLUID WILL START TO WORK AFTER AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR OF DRIVING. THE ONLY EXPLANATION I GOT FROM THE DEALER THAT THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED ONCE THE ENGINE WARMS UP, WHICH IS NOT A FACT AS IN MY EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO ON FOR 1/2 HR OR MORE.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHILE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE MODE AND IS AT A STOP USING THE FOOT BRAKES. PLACING VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL LESSENS THE VIBRATION. IT IS NOTICED DURING REGULAR DRIVING WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015. *TR

RABBITS HAVE EATEN THE POWER STEERING 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS. THEY LOVE THE PEPPER TAPE THEY ARE WRAPPING IT WITH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TO FORCE A RABBIT OUT OF IT, RABBIT WAS DETERMINED TO TAKE THE WIRES WITH IT. HONDA WON'T GIVE ME A PERMANENT FIX. CANT BELIEVE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO USE FOOD PRODUCTS ON VEHICLES. 1ST 2 TIMES VEHICLE WAS FOUND DISABLED, 3RD TIME FOUND THE RABBIT IN IT, STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T COME OUT, HAD TO HIT IT WITH A STICK IT DID GET OUT, BUT THEN IT CAME RIGHT BACK, SO I GOT MY HUSBAND AND HE AND I HAD TO FORCE IT OUT. THE CAR WAS DISABLED AGAIN, I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WHILE THIS CRITTER DID THIS AND THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SAFE AT ALL. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO FAITH IN THE NEW VEHICLES WITH FOOD PRODUCTS USED IN THEM. CAR WAS PARKED IN CARPORT. MY LAST RESORT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS TO USE COYOTE URINE TO KEEP THEM AWAY. JUST NOT RIGHT.

THE CAR IS SHAKING/VIBRATING WHEN ON DRIVE MODE WHILE YOU ARE ON STOP STEPPING ON THE BRAKE, CAR ALSO SHAKES/VIBRATES DURING ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN CITY STREETS, HOPEFULLY THE PROBLEM WILL NOT ARISE ON THE FREEWAY. ALREADY WENT TWICE TO THE DEALER DCH GARDENA HONDA IN GARDENA CALIFORNIA, WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY SAY THAT THAT'S THE NORMAL FOR THE ENGINE, STAFF ALSO SAID THAT GO COMPLAIN TO AMERICAN HONDA, INSTEAD OF FIXING WHAT THEY SOLD. THE MOST CONCERN IS MY WIFE HAS AN ACCIDENT WHEN SHE PANIC DURING VIBRATION, IT WAS A MINOR ACCIDENT, ARE WE WAITING TO HAPPEN THIS TO ANYBODY DRIVING HONDA CT-V 2015 MODEL? IT WILL BE MORE DANGEROUS IF THIS FIXABLE PROBLEM WILL HAPPENED IN THE FREEWAY. *TR

VIBRATION: IN DECEMBER OF 2014, WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV 2015 MODEL FROM TOM WOOD HONDA IN ANDERSON, INDIANA. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, (AT AROUND 5,000 MILES DRIVEN ON THE VEHICLE), WE NOTICED THAT; THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WHEN STOPPED (SAY AT A STOP LIGHT) WHEN THE CAR WAS IN 'DRIVE'. THE VIBRATION WAS NOT DETECTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND IN 'PARK'. THE VIBRATION AT THIS TIME WAS SLIGHT AND ONLY A LITTLE DISTURBING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PENSKE HONDA (ON THE NORTH SIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS) AT AROUND 28,000 MILES OR SO, WHERE A '16-053 CRV UPDATE' WAS APPLIED. THE VIBRATION PROBLEM WAS MADE MUCH WORSE, NOT BETTER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR OFF OF PENSKE'S LOT, IT VIBRATED SO BADLY THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY DISTURBING. FOLLOW A FEW FRUSTRATING CONVERSATIONS WITH PENSKE HONDA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FISHER'S HONDA. FISHER'S HONDA PERFORMED UPDATE 15-046 FOR VIBRATION AT IDLE, WHICH AMELIORATED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL VIBRATES QUITE NOTICEABLY WHEN ENGAGED IN DRIVE AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE. THE IDLE SPEED DROPS TO AROUND 550 RPM WHEN STOPPED AND IN DRIVE. THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES IN THE DRIVER'S HANDS. IN MY OPINION, NO ONE WOULD BUY A NEW OR EVEN USED CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T. WE TOOK THE 2015 HONDA CRV TO TOM WOOD HONDA. ONE OF THEIR TOP TECHNICIANS DROVE THE CAR WITH US IN IT. HE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM, BUT STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HE COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAN WHAT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE, AND THAT THE PROBLEM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN PAIRING. SINCE THAT TIME, THE VIBRATION PHENOMENON WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND ENGAGED IN DRIVE HAS WORSENED. IN ADDITION, THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT 35 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR AND THE RPMS ARE AROUND 1,100 RPM OR SO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED TO 50 MPH ON ITS OWN, ALTHOUGH I NEVER REMOVED PRESSURE FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AND PULL BACK AS IF IT WERE GOING TO DIE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND DID NOT INCREASE SPEED. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY, APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ONCE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 20 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GIVING MISFIRE CODES AND THEY WANT TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT TO RUN TESTS ON IT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE GONE INTO "LIMP" MODE, WHAT THAT IS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT 80 MPH. *TR

HONDA CR-V 2015 AND OTHER YEARS HAVE VIBRATION CREATED BY THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE CARS RPM'S DROP AT IDOL AND THE HOLE CAR SHAKES LIKE A 2.0 EARTHQUAKE. THERE ARE APPARENTLY MORE PROBLEMS THAN THIS BUT HONDA IS NOT PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE ING THE PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN RECALLED FOR AN ALLEGED COMPUTER PROBLEM BUT I SUSPECT THEY ARE TRYING OVER COME THE VIBRATION. COVERUP. THEY PUT NEW PUSHINGS IN TO TAMPERED VIBRATION. COVERUP NOW DEALER WANTS CAR BACK TO FIX BUT HONDA DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT. ENGINEERING BIG MISTAKE.

VIBRATION AT IDLE
Wheels, Nov 23, 2016
I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TRANSMISSION RECALL ON 11/23/16 TO APPLE HONDA RIVERHEAD, NY 11901. AND WAS INFORMED THAT AT 20,000 MILES ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN OUT. TIRES ON A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT AT 20,000 MILES. FIRST THEY TRIED TO BLAME IT ON POOR DRIVING, UNDER INFLATION, EVEN THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAS ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I DID A LITTYLE CHECKING AND FOUND OUT HONDA PUT TIRES ON THE CAR THAT THE MANUFACTURER WON'T PUT A WEAR GAURANTEE ON, HONDA SPECED OUT THESE TIRES TO CONTINENTAL. GOING ON LINE IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE DEALING WITH CRV TIRES. I AM REQUESTING AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE. THEY TRIED TO SELL ME THE SAME TIRES, I WENT ELSEWHERE

LOST MY POWER STEERING BECAUSE HONDA WRAPS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WIRING HARNESS IN SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS TO CHEW. AS I'VE SEEN AND HEARD SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. HONDA WOULDN'T COVER THE COST OR ISSUE RECALL. NOT EVEN UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T DRIVING AT THE TIME I LOST MY STEERING OR THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE FOR ME OR SOMEONE ELSE IF IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I LOST MY STEERING. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM

MY HONDA CR-V 2015 POWER SUDDENLY TURNS OFF, CAR STALLS, RED OIL LIGHT COMES, CAR IS STILL IN REVERSE GEAR AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. IT HAD MOVED ABOUT 8 FEET. AFTER A MOMENT OR TWO ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER. TO RESTART CAR I SHIFT TO PARK AND PROCEED. ALL SYSTEMS RESTART AND NO PROBLEM LIGHTS TURN ON. AFTER THREE OCCURRENCES OVER ABOUT TWO MONTHS. I TOOK CAR TO HONDA SERVICE 08/22/2016. THEY NOTED THEY CHECKED "CAR STOPS WHEN GOING IN REVERSE" AND COULD NOR GET IT TO FAIL. THEY STATED THEY MADE A SYSTEM UPDATE "16-053 PER BULLETIN PGM-FI SOFTWARE." THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY OTHER SAFETY RECALLS MATCHING MY PROBLEM. ON 09/18/2016 I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WAS SUNDAY AND RAY LAKS, HONDA WAS CLOSED. I SPENT TIME LOOKING UP RECALLS AND FOUND YOUR LETTER NVS-215SM TO HONDA DEALERS DATED 03/9/2015 WHICH DENOTES THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD - "LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE IN MOTION." IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE SIMILAR PROBLEM. PERHAPS RAY LAKS, HONDA DEALER, 3590 SOUTHWESTERN BLVD., ORCHARD PARK, NY 14127, 716-824-6300 DID NOT DOUBLE CHECK MY CAR FOR THAT UPDATE.
