CarComplaints.com Notes: Some vehicles alert you if you fall asleep behind the wheel, but the 2015 Honda CR-V has a different approach: just shake the heck out of you so you never fall asleep in the first place.

2015 Honda CRV front seat vibrates. It was supposed to fixed in accordance to tsb 15-046. The vibrations is still apparent after 20K miles later. When my CRV is stopped with vehicle in gear (at a stop sign or red light). I took it back to the dealership and the technician a marking the issue as normal vibrations. This is just another way for Honda not taking responsibility for the poor engineering. I am very concerned that the vibrations will eventually loosen up the seat bolts. There are a few videos of 2015 Honda CRV front seat vibrations on youtube.
My son could have been killed or injured because of this vehicle. I bought this 2015 CRV used with approximately 31,400. Miles. Checked the car fax no problems no accidents reported. The car dealer who inspected the car and serviced it. It had an oil job, battery, tires replaced. Drove it for 4 months with no problems. I am still under the power train warranty. Then December 17 the transmission failed while my 22 year old son was driving it on the roadway. Just lost powers. Someone eventually pushed his car off to the side of road and out of traffic. We had the car towed to joyce Honda. Although under warranty they refused to fix it. Said the car had only 1 gallon of transmission fluid. No leaks. There was no problems prior, no lights lite up on the dashboard warning us to service or check the engine. No fumes. We didn't even own the car long enough to need an oil job yet. I spoke to other mechanics who said it's defective. It could notbhave been driven for four months on one gallon transmission fluid. I know Honda has had many complaints with the same problem. It's a defective torgue converter that is burning off the transmission fluid. I have a case open with Honda but they refuse to honor my power train warranty. This is a $4800 repair! Honda needs to stand by its warranty.
2015 Honda CR-V SUV was traveling highway speed (55mph) in adaptive cruise control mode. Weather at the time of impact was 50F. Adaptive cruise control failed to detect vehicle in front and acceleration occurred resulting in impact.
Takata recall I'm driving with my Honda CR-V on the freeway and my car suddenly slows down, from 70mph to 35mph and I pulled over and when I start to drive it doesn't move anymore, but the engine still turn on, it just doesn't move or back up. B I didn't hear any sounds when it happen.
I was driving car on city street about 40 miles hours, tried to accelerate twice, car started slowing down. The third time I tried to accelerate. The car finally begin to accelerate. The second time was driving on city street and went to yield right of was before making a right turn. I slowed to yield then accelerated the car stalled as it was stopped. I tried to accelerate again and then the care accelerated slowly. Another car came through red light and was right on my bumper when my car stalled. This is very dangerous.

On May 4, 2019 I started the car and was about to drive out and the car could move forward when I put it into drive position. It reverse instead. After multiple tries, I had to call the roadside assistance and a tow truck removed the car to the Honda dealer I bought I from. They discovered that the transmission was no good. After waiting for over a month for it to be fixed, I picked it up and was not satisfied with the performance. I brought it backand was told that the sound I was hearing comes from a "flat spot in the tire since it was sitting there for a long time and I should drive it for a month and if no changes I should buy new tire. " that did not make any sense to me so here I am trying to figur it out, very disgruntled, and dissatisfied!!. on top of that the vibrating of the car especially when it's idling... it makes no sense to me for a car this new to be in this condition. I need some help to solve this issue.
The car stalls while moving slowly in reverse. This is dangerous in two ways. Way one, while moving in reverse the car stalls, and thus I stop moving when I and the people around me thought I would continue. The second way is I often end up reversing more quickly when I feel the car beginning to stall, this keeps the car from stalling but causes me to move in reverse faster than I would like to. This usually happens when the car is started from a cold start (after sitting overnight).. this issue has been happening to me for at least half a year. Not every time I start the car, but at least once a week. I bought the car new in June 2015. Also in general the car shudders significantly while idling in drive. I fear that soon the car may start stalling in drive as well while it is idling. Many people report these same issues online, and a recall should be done before the problem gets worse as the cars age.
While driving, my water pump seized causing my drive belt to disengage my drive train. This caused my vehicle to over heat as well as the belt to rub on the engine. The friction from this caused the belt to start throwing embers. The smoke from the burning belt is what indicated to me that there was an issue. The amount of smoke and embers made me fear that my car had caught on fire. After getting my vehicle towed to the closest auto shop I was informed about tsb id #A17-063. Service bulletin - the water pump seized or the drive belt shredded. The water pump bearing is out of specification. However, this is not a recall. Had this happened at a different time and place, it could have easily caused an accident or if I was not able to get off the road fast enough I fear that my car would have caught on fire.
I just bought a 2015 Honda CR-V 4 days ago. I was so happy to get something newer and to be rid of my other problem car. Since having this car it has consistently been vibrating when idle and pushing down the break pedal while in drive like sitting at a light etc. I was told by dealer that's it's normal but it definitely is not normal and unbelievably uncomfortable and distracting while trying to Focus on driving. It's embarrassing that anyone in the car also comments and this was suppose to be a newer car that I was happy about and proud of. I have since seen reviews online of so many of the same complaints. That is absolutely ridiculous and very scary that Honda has not addressed this issue in a few years. What a horrible company to not fix an obvious issue that they've even acknowledged and to just let customers live with something messed up. Honda better step up and fix this issue for those affected instead of being cowards and avoiding it! whether it's a recall or whatever, it is way past due for customers with these vehicles to be happy and listened too! robin
While stopped at red light intersection on busy city street, car idle in drive gear, terrible vibrations shook the whole car before engine shut off. Car would not turn on or shift to park until placed in accessory mode. Park. Engine and accessory mode off then normal starting procedure to get car running again.
Since day one there has been a strong vibration at idle. The engine will be at 650-700 rpms and then drops to 500. It shakes uncontrollably when the rpms drop at a light or while idling. I've taken it in 3 times with no repair success.
I have experienced several issues with my 2015 Honda CR-V: 1. lug nut corrosion: I have had several lug nuts replaced due to visual corrosion around the welded top to side area of the nut. Replaced under warranty @ 36,000 miles. 2. engine / transmission vibration: Low speed vibration, I can visibly see the passenger seat vibrate. High speed vibration ~ 70mph, this is felt through the seat and steering wheel. Rear hatch vibration (booming) ~ 55 - 60 mph. The dealer has installed countermeasure parts @ 36,000 miles, but the vibration has gotten worse.
I purchased a used certified 2015 Honda CR-V from a dealer. Within two days I noticed excessive vibration when idling in drive. I researched it and found out it's a Honda known design flaw. They issue a bandaid fix (tsb 15-046) of new engine mounting brackets and headrests but this does not fix the vibration issue. Honda knows about the issue but will not issue a recall or admit the design flaw and fix or repair the transmission. There are hundreds of complaints about this issue that have been logged in. Until Honda owns the issue and fixes it, I'm stuck with a defective and unsafe vehicle.
Transmission fluid leaking results in no power in driving on highway.cost $5,000 to repairing. Could cause accidents if in traffic on free way. My son and I were luck just drove out of free way traffic jam and off ramp and stopped at traffic light.
When accelerating from a stop into a right or left turn and let up on the accelerator, then try to accelerate after making the turn, I experience a total loss of power. If I let up on the accelerator, and then press on the accelerator again the vehicle will accelerate normally. If instead when the vehicle loses power, and I continue to hold the accelerator pressed down the vehicle stays in a lost state of power until I take my foot off the accelerator and then press down again. This event happens 2 to 3 times per month since the car was delivered to me by the dealer. This is dangerous, especially if I am making a left turn or trying to accelerate onto an interstate highway 's on ramp. When reported to the dealer, I was told that this was normal for this car.
When backing out of my garage into my driveway I would put my foot on the brake while I close the garage door and put on my seat belt. I would then put my foot on the accelerator to back out of my driveway but at times the car engine would rev-up and not move out of the driveway. I would then drive forward a few feet and then put the car in reverse and the car would move out of the driveway in a normal manner. This only happens a few times a month not everytime I back out of my garage.
Recently took my 2015 Honda CR-V for another attempt to fix the issue. Basically, the vehicle will vibrate harshly and shudder as if it will stall with the RPM's dropping to 300-500. It happens in multiple instances- when coming to a stop/stopped in gear, while on the highway going about 60-70 mph. It feels like the vehicle loses power/is about to stall off. I've been told by Honda this is "characteristic" of the vehicle. If that's the case, why didn't they inform me this when purchasing the vehicle? bad move, Honda.
Terrible vibration while idling in gear, Honda did not inform me of a current bulletin that has been issued for quite some time 15-046 for vibration issues with engine and transmission when I purchase vehicle. I informed them of vibration, they told me new engine style is causing vibration, nothing wrong with car
