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.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

While driving during clear weather and around no highway overpasses, the sunroof on our Honda CRV spontaneously shattered. No evidence of an object or projectile were found.
Door lock actuator for the passenger side rear door binds which makes it difficult to manually unlock the door from the inside. This is an ongoing problem. It was reported to scott robinson Honda in on 8/15/15 and again on 3/4/2016. They refused to acknowledge the problem claiming they could not duplicate it. The vehicle was taken to dch Honda on 7/16/20, the problem was acknowledged by them. A claim was set up with Honda customer service, claim number 11441768. Honda is now refusing to pay. This is a safety issue as a passenger sitting in the back may not be able to manually unlock the door in order to exit the vehicle.
Has there been any problems with acceleration on Honda CRV especially 2015. I recently had a problem with mine. While parking in a space, the gas pedal took off and I ran into a another parked car.

The exterior rear lift gate door switch switch does not operate properly in cold weather conditions (below approx. 30 degrees F.). in the event of an emergency in cold conditions the rear gate cannot be opened from the outside. There is also no easy way to open the gate from the inside quickly.
The sunroof shattered. We could hear noises while driving as if ice was sliding off the roof. Earlier, we though nuts were hitting the roof. In retrospect, it had to be pieces of the sunroof as we were in southern Louisiana. No people were on overheads or traffic around us.
2015 Honda CR-V severe vibrations felt in vehicle while in drive- idle (stop lights, signs, sitting in driveway) or slow speeds. So severe causing headaches and nausea. Also, extremely uncomfortable for a female to sit on while that intense. In a bad way. Took to priority chesapeake in Virginia four separate times, where the fourth time both the dealership and american Honda refused any assistance in the fix. They admitted this was noticed in the 2015 model, and is normal for the 2015 CR-V (albeit no other CR-V has these issues). Both american Honda and dealership refuse to accept any responsibility and refuse any assistance in reaching a solution.
The CRV was involved in a large accident and the left front lower frame rail is crushed from a head on collision. The left air bag did not deploy nor the seatbelt lock up causing a minor injury to the driver. Honda usa was contacted but refused to send an engineer to inspect the car.
Vibration/shudder/low RPM's. noticed 2 days after driving the car home from the dealer. Dealer was immediately contacted. Was told to contnue driving the car, that it was probably nothing. Took the car back within 2 weeks of purchase at which time I was told that Honda knows about the problem and that there is no soluation at this time. They refussed to replace my brand new Honda CRV 2015 with a trouble fee car. And to this date (7 months later) they still have no soluation. My car vibrates and shudders all the time the RPM's are low causing a disconnect when engaging the gas peddle. Honda said it's a software problem----which they knew about when they sold me the car---but again---have no solution. Again, the Honda CRV 2015 vibrates/shudders/low RPM's when its idling or in motion----all the time!!
Unintended acceleration when braking. I could not make the car stop when I made a right-hand turn into a shopping center parking space. I damaged the right side of my vehicle as I side-swiped the rear bumper of a truck. It seemed that the more I pushed on the brake, the more the engine sped up, as if I was pushing on the gas pedal. The floor mat is anchored. I have very big feet (size 16 wide). The gas pedal and the brake pedal are very close.
Bought this vehichle month ago. Around 1000 miles on odometer now. Vehichle have terrible vibration when stop in drive gear at stop lights or in slow traffic. Vibration are strong and made me nauxious in slow traffic one day. I took car to dealer but they not accepting it as a problem but saying its a charactristic of this vehichle. They updated the ECM software but problem still there. I am afraid this can get worse and result into major component failure or safety hazard. Honda should find the fix or stop selling
I bought a brand new 2015 Honda CR-V ex fwd a month ago. When the vehicle was little over 600 miles, I started feeling a severe vibration intermittently at idle in drive mode when I stop at stop signs. The frequency and severity increased now when it is about 1000 miles. Just to check its severity I placed an empty plastic bag on the passenger seat and I could here the noise made by the bag due to vibration. It was as if like massaging on my back and back of head. When I reported it to service department, they checked and told me that its a know issue with all 2015 models and no fix has been identified. I called american Honda also as per their suggestion and they also acknowledged this issue but said no fix is available. I'm wondering if there is any body that actually regulates auto makers to not sell vehicles having issues. If there is a know issue like this how can they keep selling the vehicles with issues and how does Honda sales people don't know about this issue" its almost end of 2015 and when are they going to develop a fix"
Vibration felt at 20-25 mph and at higher speeds through the steering wheel and by sound with the vibration becoming stronger as the mileage increases. Discussions with the Honda dealership concerning a refund have not been fruitful. I am concerned that the problem may result in a crash; but Honda is very slow to resolve the issue.
I bought a brand new CR-V ex-L based on excellent reviews from consumer reports and edmunds. I expected the car to be perfect. However, Honda sold me the defected car without any notice even this defect was known for months. The issue is a vibration during idle. For example, when I stop on the traffic light, the passenger seat starts to shake. If I release breaks vibrations will go away. It is not normal. I noticed this problem 2 months after the purchase (or 600-700 miles). Then I went to the dealer and he told me that Honda's engineers were "working on it", no solution was found yet and I had to wait for a further notice. Visible vibrations mean that there is mechanical resonance in the car. An example of destruction due to mechanical resonance would be a collapse of Tacoma narrows bridge. Thus, my safety concern is that the car can be damaged structurally. For example, few bolts may come loose and the car may disintegrate during the drive. The problem could be that a newly introduced cvt transmission in Honda CR-V 2015 doesn't go along with the engine and they produce excessive vibrations that spread thru a car frame to the seat. Probably, the car wasn't tested properly during design process. Thus, Honda engineers overlooked this problem. I have a video file of vibrations but it's too big for upload.

On May 2nd, 2015, we purchased a 2015 Honda CR-V. at the time of purchase a water stain was noticed on the passenger side B pillar roof. Part of the purchase agreement included removing the stain that seemed to be from a partially opened sunroof during shipping. The stain was removed by the dealership and checked by the dealership and all appeared to be resolved. A short time later another water stain developed in the same area. Again the stain was removed and the vehicle checked. After the CR-V's third visit to the shop it was determined that an "insufficient amount of seal sealer" was used in the assembly of the vehicle at the factory. Our Honda had to be sent to an outside Honda approved body shop for repairs. On discovering the extent of the problem, we no longer had confidence in the quality of our "new" vehicle. Given the fact it had sustained water damage multiple times and had to be taken to an auto body shop to be properly repaired with only a few hundred miles. We had concerns about water being trapped between the multiple layers of metal roof panels. In turn that could lead to rust, which could lead to the release of the seam sealer that helps provide the rigidity needed for rollover crashes. Also, the concern of mold developing in the roof and carpet. Upon hearing our concerns the dealership agreed to trade in our water damaged CR-V for a new one. With less than 100 miles this CR-V also developed a roof leak. Now the dealership and body shop has had our current CR-V two weeks, to fix the leaked caused by Honda not using enough sealer on the passenger side roof panels and rail studs.Honda is now using our CR-V as field report case study to submit to Honda engineers. We would like Honda to issue a recall out of concern for other CR-V owners. Many owners may be unaware of mold dangers and structural roof weakness.

While driving our 2015 CRV a day after our initial purchase it began to shake violently at idle. So bad that in stop and go traffic it can cause the driver and passengers to start to feel sick. Honda has acknowledged the issue but says that it isn't a safety concern and it is a characteristic of the vehicle. Additionally the car vibrates and feels as if might die when slowing down at a stop light. The same thing that a manual might do if left in gear when slowing to a stop. Additionally the same thing can occur when initially accelerating. I feel that these are safety issues because they are distracting to the driver and the CRV could eventually start stalling out in the middle of an intersection.
2015 Honda CR-V vibrates at idle while in gear just like everybody else's. I have also noticed extremely loud engine noise for a new car while at idle in gear or in park as well. Noise and vibration begun at about 141 miles.
