MY BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V IS EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS BOTH IN IDLE OR IN DRIVE. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS IN DRIVE SEAT,STEERING WHEEL, GAS PADDLE. I CAN EVEN SEE THE SHAKING OF PASSENGER-SEAT BACK WHEN IT IS IDLE. I AM AFRAID SUCH HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATION WILL LOOSEN SCREWS, BREAK PARTS AND RESULT IN SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION. PLEASE HELP. REGARDS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY HONDA CR-V 2015 TOURING MODEL DECEMBER 15,2014 WITH 2 MILES ON IT. ON MY WAY TO WORK IN FEBRUARY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT A JERK ON MY CAR, (I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST WIND SINCE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOME BAD WINTER WEATHER COME THROUGH) I LOOKED DOWN AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES, IT RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED TO ME TWO MORE TIMES. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HONDA CR V IN NOVEMBER 2014. THE TEST DRIVE WAS PERFECT. HOWEVER, I BEGAN TO NOTICE SLIGHT VIBRATION IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT AT STOP LIGHTS AND ANYTIME CAR WAS IDLING IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. I CONTACTED MT LOCAL DEALER WHO TOLD ME I MUST CONTACT HONDA CORPORATION AND OPEN A CASE FILE ON MY CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE INVESTIGATING BUT HAVE NO IDEA IF OR WHEN THIS VIBRATION CAN BE STOPPED. THE VIBRATION SEEMS TO GET WORSE AS MILEAGE INCREASES. THE CAR HAD 3,400 MILES ON IT WHEN I DECIDED TO TRADE THE CRV AND TAKE THE LOSS FINANCIALLY. I PAID CASH FOR THE CAR, BUT THE VIBRATION SEEMED TO GET WORSE DAILY AND FELT IT WAS NOT WORTH THE RISK TO JEOPARDIZE MY POSSIBLE SAFETY. I AM VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE ANY HONDA VEHICLE. *TR

THE PART IS PROTECTOR 91720, PN: 52352-T1G-E01. IT IS SMALL PLASTIC PART TO PROTECT REAL WHEEL AXLE OR BODY STRUCTURE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. WHEN MY CAR HAS SOME VIBRATE (IT DID NOT HIT ANYTHING), THE PART FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. AND ONE SIDE OF THE PART IS STILL ON THE CAR. IT MADE THE CAR SPEED SUDDENLY SLOW BECAUSE THE ONE END OF PARTS IS DRAGGING ON THE ROAD. THE PART IS NO SCREW ON FALLEN SIDE. THE PART IS BROKEN NOW. THE DEALER AGENT TOLD ME IT IS NOT ON THE CAR WARRANTY AND I NEED PAY IT. I THINK IT MAY CAUSED MORE SAFETY ISSUE IF I DRIVE ON THE HIGH WAY WHEN IT HAPPEN. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE 1/29/15 ALMOST IMMEDIATELY NOTICED WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE VIBRATES, LET IT GO THINKING NEW CAR NEEDS TO GET BROKEN IN. 1400 MILES LATER, THE CAR IS STILL DOING IT, ACTUALLY I THINK IT'S WORSE. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE IS A VIBRATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND CONTINUES WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. DEALER SAID HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DOESN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET. IN FACT, THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID ABOUT EIGHT (8) OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA, ONLY TO BE TOLD THIS IS A "CONDITION" THEY ARE AWARE OF AND ARE INVESTIGATING, HOWEVER, SINCE THEY DON'T FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN, THEY COULD NOT COMMIT TO WHEN A REPAIR PROCEDURE WOULD BE INSTITUTED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. HOW CAN YOUR CAR VIBRATING WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN, HOW CAN ANYTHING THAT AFFECTS THE DRIVEABILITY OF YOUR VEHICLE NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN. I CAN'T EVEN RID OF IT, WHAT DEALER IS NOT GOING TO QUESTION THAT VIBRATING. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE OR REPLACE THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

HOLDING STEERING WHEEL, FEELS LIKE HOLDING ON TO A VIBRATING CHAIR WHEN I ACCELERATE, SOMETIMES IT SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES, ONCE THE CAR HITS ABOUT 55 MPH IT CALMS DOWN. BROUGHT BACK TO TOMS RIVER HONDA 1/17/2015, MECHANIC, AND I WENT FOR TEST .MY INVOICE STATES: "CUSTOMER STATES BETWEEN 30-40 MPH CAR FEELS LIKE ON IT'S ON A WASH BOARD. CAUSE: DON'T HAVE FIX YET, WILL KEEP CUSTOMER POSTED, PERFORM FORCE ROAD BALANCE, CHECKED SYSTEM FOR UPDATES, CHECKED FOR D&C (NONE). "HONDA AWARE OF VIBRATION PROBLEM,WILL CALL ENGINEERING DEPT TO DISCUSS PROBLEM, STILL NO ANSWERS BUT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, OK TO DRIVE". MET WITH NJ HONDA TECH REP. 1/29/15, WENT FOR 1/2 TEST DRIVE WITH ME. ALL AGREED, YES BAD VIBRATION, HONDA IS AWARE, MORE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING INTO HONDA WITH VIBRATION. WILL SPEAK TO ENGINEERING AGAIN. INVOICE STATES" VIBRATION WAS EXPERIENCED ON 20 MILE ROAD TEST , APPROXIMATELY 15-50 MPH AND 12-1500 RPM'S VARIABLE. HONDA REP ART E RECOMMENDED TO WAIT FOR A FIX OR UP DATE TO COME OUT . NOTE: SNAP SHOTS AND DATA TAKEN AND ALSO SENT TO TECH LINE AND DISCUSSED W/TECH LINE. ENGINEERING IS INVESTIGATING ISSUE".I LOVE THE CAR BUT NOT THE VIBRATION. I ONLY WANT AN SUV, NOT CAR. I HAVE ASKED HONDA TO BUY BACK. HONDA SAYS DEALER SHOULD BUY BACK, TR HONDA SAYS IT SHOULD BE HONDA. I HAVE GOOGLED 2015 CRV VIBRATION COMPLAINTS AND HAVE FOUND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. ABC NEW "7 BY YOUR SIDE" DID A NEWS STORY ON THIS PROBLEM 2/26/2015. I SAVE $ FOR 9 YEARS TO PAY CASH FOR A CAR, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN ROBBED! *TR

MY BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V IS EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS IN IDLE WHEN IN DRIVE. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS IN MY SEAT AS I AM IN IDLE, BUT IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY AS IT SHAKES AGGRESSIVELY FROM THE VIBRATIONS. IT'S ANNOYING AND ITS DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ON THIS ISSUE BUT HONDA IS CALLING IT A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE CAR. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX SO THEY ARE BASICALLY TELLING ME I AM OUT OF LUCK AT THIS TIME AND TO WAIT IT OUT. I'VE ALSO MADE A PHONE CALL TO HONDA AMERICA AND AWAITING A CALL BACK ON MY CASE. A BRAND NEW CAR WITH THIS PRICE TAG SHOULD NOT HAVE VIBRATIONS WHEN IN IDLE. MANY CONSUMERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF THIS VIBRATION TO THE CAR. *TR
Seats, Mar 10, 2015
I PURCHASED A HONDA CRV SEVERAL DAYS AGO AND FOUND THERE IS A VERY STRONG DISTRACTING VIBRATION IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT SEATS WHILE DRIVING. THE SEATS SHAKE. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY. THE VIBRATION CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. IT IS CONSTANT BUT VERY PRESENT UPON IDLING OR COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS HONDA BUT NO FIX AVAILABLE. *TR

I CAME TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENED AT 2 STOP LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAD 500 MILES ON IT. SUBSEQUENTLY THERE ARE VARIOUS LEVELS OF VIBRATION WHILE AT STOPS ALONG WITH A ROUGH RIDE. THE SEATS SHAKE ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. CAN'T GET A STRAIGHT STORY FROM HONDA. EVERYTHING FROM WORKING ON A FIX TO IT DOESN'T EXIST. 2 DEALERS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE EXISTS. UNFORTUNATELY MECHANICS SAY IT'S A HUGE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 2450 MILES ON IT AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR

ON 2/6/15 WHILE DRIVING ON US 17,COASTAL HIGHWAY, JUST OFF I-95 SOUTH, EXIT 87 ENROUTE TO HINESVILLE, GA, MY WIFE AND I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION INSIDE OUR CAR. WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT FIRST, BUT SUDDENLY OBSERVED THERE WAS A HOLE IN OUR MOONROOF. AFTER SAFELY PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WE INSPECTED THE DAMAGE. WE SAW THAT A FEW PIECES OF GLASS AND SOME GLASS DUST HAD DROPPED DOWN ONTO OUR CONSOLE, BUT ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT. LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE FROM OUTSIDE OUR CAR, WE SAW THAT THE REMAINING GLASS NEXT TO THE HOLE, WHICH WAS ABOUT 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER, WAS POINTED TOWARD THE SKY. THIS WAS THE CASE FROM ALL AROUND THE HOLE IN THE GLASS. MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT WAS THAT THE GLASS HAD BLOWN OUTWARD MEANING THAT THE GLASS HAD EXPLODED UPWARD FROM INSIDE THE CAR. IF WE HAD DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS, I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT SOMEONE HAD POSSIBLY DROPPED A ROCK OR OTHER PROJECTILE ONTO THE TOP OF THE CAR WHICH HIT THE MOONROOF GLASS. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THERE ALSO WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY, THERE WERE NO PEOPLE ALONGSIDE THE ROAD AND THE TREE LINE WAS ABOUT 30 YARDS OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO IF ANYONE HAPPENED TO BE THROWING ROCKS FROM THE TREES, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A VERY LONG THROW. THERE ALSO WAS NO SOUND OF A ROCK HITTING THE MOONROOF GLASS OR NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK OR OTHER PROJECTILE AFTER THE GLASS EXPLODED. I CONCLUDE THE EXPLOSION WAS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE GLASS OR INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE GLASS. I DECIDED TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER THAT DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION. IF OTHER TRAFFIC HAD BEEN NEARBY, THE EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION COULD HAVE CERTAINLY DISTRACTED ME ENOUGH THAT I COULD HAVE EASILY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR VEHICLES. *TR

CAR AND SEATS VIBRATE AT STOP LIGHT INTERSECTIONS WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. VIBRATION IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED IF CAR IS IDLING ON AN INCLINE. PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL STOPS THE VIBRATION. VIBRATION CAN BE FELT IN BOTH FRONT SEATS AND IN THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY, VERY ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING THIS $30,000 CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA AND THEIR REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE VIBRATION. *TR

AT STEADY SPEEDS BETWEEN 20 - 45 MPH, 2015 HONDA CR-V EX AWD VIBRATES/SHUDDERS BADLY WHEN YOU TRY TO INCREASE SPEED SLIGHTLY. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING/SLIPPING AND IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE LOW CRUISING RPM (1100). TOOK IT IN TO HONDA SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION. DEALER SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I TEST DROVE ANOTHER 2015 CR-V AND IT EXHIBITED THE SAME ISSUES. IT MAY BE A COMMON CHARACTERISTIC BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE DRIVE TRAIN IS FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD. IT GREATLY DIMINISHES THE OVERALL QUALITY FEEL OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA USA. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE FUTURE IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM WITH VIBRATION SINCE PURCHASING NEW CRV2015 WITH AWD. WHEN SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT, ENGINE RPM DROPS BELOW 1000 AND VIBRATION STARTS TO OCCUR. AS SOON AS CAR STARTS MOVING, VIBRATIONS DISAPPEAR. THEY ARE QUITE PRONOUNCED AT THESE LOWER RPM'S. I ALSO OWN A JEEP COMPASS WITH CVT AND THIS NEVER HAPPENED WITH THAT ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER YET DUE TO BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS IN AREA BUT INTEND TO DO SO SHORTLY. SINCE SO MANY ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, HONDA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION. *TR

MINE IS A 2015 CRV EXL. I CAN'T BELIEVE HONDA BUILT THIS CAR. IT HAS BAD VIBRATIONS WHEN STOPPED AND IDLING, THE ENTIRE SEAT SHAKES. IT HAS BAD ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING WHEN I ACCELERATE WHEN THE ENGINE CHOOSES A RPM IN THE 1000-2000 RANGE. EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT SHUDDERS AT RANDOM INTERVALS. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY ANNOYING, IT CAN NOT BE GOOD FOR THE ENGINE LONG TERM. THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. HONDA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM, FIND A SOLUTION, AND APOLOGIZE TO ME AND ALL THOSE 2015 CRV OWNERS.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2015HONDA CRV EXL WHEN YOU ARE AT 30-45 MPH AND YOU TRY TO INCREASE SPEED SLIGHTLY THE VEHICLE VIBRATES LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING AND SLIPPING OR IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER NOT SURE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE RPM SETTING AT TIMES IT SHUDDERS QUIT BAD. TOOK IT IN TO HONDA SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND AT THAT TIME NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT SUBMIT IT TO HONDA ENGINEERING . I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE FUTURE IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS COULD BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO OWNS A 2014 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME CVT AND POWERTRAIN AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT EXIST. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

THE PROBLEM RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATIONS WHEN VEHICLE STOPS AT STOP LIGHT. IF VEHICLE IS 'D' AND 0 SPEED IT VIBRATES AND RPM NEEDLE IS NOT SABLE. ALSO, VIBRATIONS ARE AT 60 AND HIGHER SPEED. ENGINE IS NOT SMOOTH AT ALL AND FEEL/SOUND LIKE ENGINE IS STRESSED. CALLED HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP ALSO SAYS ALL THE 2015 CRV HAS THE ISSUE SO ITS NORMAL!! PLEASE DISCUSS WITH HONDA AS ALL THE NEW HONDA 2015 CRV HAS VIBRATION ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND HONDA NEEDS TO FACE UP TO THE ISSUE WITH THEIR NEW ENGINE CVT DESIGN. *TR

AFTER TEN DAYS OF OWNING THIS CAR TODAY IS THE FIRST TIME THAT EXPERIENCED ENGINE VIBRATION AT IDLE WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGH THE CABIN AND THE DRIVER SEAT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE ENGINE VIBRATION IS NOTICED AROUND 550 600 RPM. IF THE AC IS TURNED ON THE RPM INCREASE AND THE VIBRATION GOES AWAY. SWITCHING THE AC OFF THE RPM DROP TO AROUND 550 600 AND THE VIBRATION RETURN. I HOPE HONDA IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. *TR

THE CAR VIBRATES HEAVILY AT IDLE. THIS VIBRATION FAR EXCEEDS ANY VIBRATION I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. ALL PASSENGERS CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION, BUT IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - WHEN EMPTY IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE VIBRATION IS SO PRONOUNCED THAT I HAVE A HARD TIME FOCUSING MY EYES RESULTING IN EYE-STRAIN. THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE VIBRATION (DESCRIBED BELOW) OCCURS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED BY MOST TEST-DRIVERS AND SO HONDA IS DECEIVING THE PUBLIC BY SELLING THIS CAR. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ARE DOING NOTHING TO SOLVE IT AND THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THE CR-V. THIS IS SHAMEFUL. MY FINDINGS: 1. THE STRONG VIBRATION / SHAKING HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY WHEN: A. ENGINE IS WARM 5-15 MINUTES B. AT A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE C. THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ENGINE (ALL ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS ARE OFF - LIGHTS, AC , RADIO ETC) D. RPMS DROP TO JUST ABOVE THE 500 LINE 2. THE STRONG VIBRATION / SHAKING COMES AND GOES CYCLICALLY WHEN: A. ENGINE IS WARM 5-15 MINUTES B. AT A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE C. THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ENGINE. SUCH AS: AC OR MANUALLY TURNED ON RUNNING LIGHTS - HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CYCLE VARIES, BUT IT WILL DO SO EVENTUALLY. THE RPMS CYCLE BETWEEN THE 550-600 (HARD VIBRATION / SHAKING) AND 750-800?? (AGAIN NOT SURE OF THE EXACT READING) WHICH PRODUCES A MUCH MORE TOLERABLE (ALTHOUGH STILL VERY ANNOYING) VIBRATION 3. THE STRONG VIBRATION SHAKING DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH OF A LOAD ON THE ENGINE TO HOLD THE RPMS STEADY AT THE HIGHER IDLE RPM MARK OF APPROXIMATELY 750-800. ALTHOUGH, THE LESS PRONOUNCED (ALTHOUGH STILL VERY ANNOYING) VIBRATION REMAINS. A. MOST CONSISTENT THINGS TO DO THIS: AUTO-LIGHT FUNCTION WHEN ENGAGED WITH LIGHTS ON & MANUALLY TURNING ON FILL NIGHTTIME LIGHTS . *TR
