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.

Dead battery continues even after dealer replaced. Dies suddenly while in drive and also after just starting. (parking garage after grocery shopping and driveway leaving to work). Dealer has no clue/recommendation to fix
Battery dies often have had jumps multiple times by aaa or jumper cables. Started back in September 2017. Brights will come on automatically, volume on radio went out on sirius but not on fm or am with screen display intact
I have lost power steering twice within an 11 day period due to rodent damage on the wiring (harness) of my vehicle. 1st time was on 10/10/2017 as I was backing down my driveway that requires a couple of sharp turns. Almost hit a wall. I missed 2 appts. And Honda charged me $320 for the repair. 2nd time I had just started the engine and the same lsak warning lights came on and again no power steering. Honda didn't charge me for this repair. I have read and been told by Honda folks that this is due to the recent use of soy in the wiring covers. Honda will not cover it under warranty or extended warranty and yet they sell a part no. Honda 4019-2317 rodent tape. I live in a rural area and this is my 4th Honda and never had this problem before. I have the repair documents but don't know how to copy and send to you.
I have had a dead battery for two mornings in a row. Car sat overnight on the driveway. The instrument panel came on. Car started after charging it. It also started after it sitting for 10 hours at work.
I was driving down a steep hill about a block from my homewhen all of the "trouble" lights came on. I immediately tuned around and the engine power was so low that I barely made it the block home. I parked and called Honda service. Whe I found out that since my car had 47,000 miles on it and Honda towing would cost $160, I had the car towed by a local service for $100 to the dealer. When I called the dealer on the following Monday (it happened on a Friday or Saturday), they informed me that the mechanics could not reproduce the problem by starting the car. No attempt was made to drive it. The company informed me that there was corrosion between the engine wire harness and the sensor connector. The parts to replace were the crank sensor connector, the O ring, and intake manifold gasket. This cost $1002.

Rodents chewed thru the wiring harness and the plastic housing, which caused lights and signals to lose functionality. Discovered it while driving when turn signal clicking started going very fast, and I thought the bulb was bad.
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.

This car has been an absolute nightmare. I literally cannot keep it running. Honda now uses soy based wiring which attracts rodents. I have several other cars in the driveway plus farm equipment. Mowers, lawn mowers etc. The rodents target specifically the Honda. Had to have the power steering sub harness replaced twice last fall and windshield washer tank, at 3020 miles, 4434 miles, 5045 miles. First two repairs were sub harness. It now is in the shop again for loss of power steering due to rodent damage at 16660 miles, loss of power steering sub harness. I had a Honda CR-V 04 before this one and it did not get rodent damage. This is directly related to Honda's soy based wiring..... they will not honor any customer satisfaction at all concerning this issue. The dealer where I bought the car all but laughed in my face. The dealer now doing the repairs has been very respectful although Honda will take no responsibility for this problem. I am concerned about this also as safety issue...... three times now my power steering has gone out. Luckily I was still in my yard and was able to park the car safely and have it towed. I have not tried to drive it once the steering goes out... very difficult to turn the vehicle and I would think very dangerous at highway speeds.... car was in reverse and motion when power steering loss occurred.....

May 23rd, 2016 american Honda motor co. Inc. Dear sirs: I would like to call your attention to a chronic problem I have been experiencing with my vehicle. One that in spite of innumerable visits to my local dealer and what would appear to be a serious concern on their part, remains unsolved. The vehicle is a 2015 Honda CRV, VIN # [xxx] purchased from gillman Honda in richmond, Texas, but serviced locally by victory Honda in victoria, Texas. The current mileage is that of 9,838 miles. The problem I have encountered is that of a " check tire" message that does not correspond to reality. The signal has turned on, about once a week since I purchased the car. Victory Honda has examined the car on al least twelve occasions, I have taken it to my tire dealer at least once a month and the source of the problem has not been identified. This has become very annoying, on one hand because I never know the true status of the tires and I have expended a lot of time and have been forced to find another mode of transportation each time the vehicle has been kept at the dealer. I need a solution to this problem, and I need it now! I have done some internet search and I do not seem to be the only owner with such a problem, you have been made aware of the defect and it need this resolved. I would expect attention to this matter, thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My wife and I purchased the 2015 CR-V ex-L AWD on January 5 2016 at staten island Honda. After only 11 days and 300 miles on vehicle as we were driving for a ski vacation I noticed a crackling noise when I would turn the steering wheel in either direction. I then noticed that none of the steering wheel controls worked or the radio. In addition to this my horn didnt work and my bluetooth would constantly say (htc is ok ) both my radio interface screens would always flash different maintenance malfunctions. My cellphone would also randomly connect and make calls. Then as I was driving to get gas off the NJ turnpike my horn started to go off non stop and I had to pull the horn fuse out from under the hood. I also noticed a very strong vibration when vehicle is idle and stopped at traffic lights on both driver and passenger side and now seems to be getting worse. Our vehicle was serviced from January 19-21 and the mechanic stated that they replaced the fuses and the cable reel and said the vibration was normal. I did some further research and there is a lawsuit against Honda in regards to the 2015 CR-V vibration issue. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and feel that I was sold a $30K lemon. I have owned Honda in the past with no issues but after this experience and Honda being aware of this issue and still sold these trucks the company has lost my trust. When going through my documents I noticed that I was missing alot of paperwork from my sales contract and I brought it to the attention of the sales representative. At first he said he gave us everything and then realized he didnt but didnt have access to the file room to give us the necessary documents. He stated he would get back to us and never did. So in all I would not recommend going to staten island Honda due to their incompetent sales staff and I hope Honda resolves all of these issues.
