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.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I am writing you because I had to have the started replaced on my Honda 2015 CR-V. the VIN number is: [xxx]; va license [xxx]; mileage 47,332. It is unreasonable to have a vehicle of that year and such a low mileage with starter problems and having the started replaced. The final bill for the work conducted was $727.16, including parts, labor and taxes. I suspect that starter problems are inherited from a poor design where the starter is exposed to excessive heat from the manifold. Therefore, all Cr-vs' designed in a same manner are relegated to the same flaw. Consequently, all owners of the same type of vehicle are forced to incur the unreasonable cost of having to replace the starter at such low mileage.

Battery discharges frequently (car will not start) beginning when less than three years old, new battery same problem. Happens randomly. Dealer could not find problem (even though it happened once in their shop). Not related to frequent short trips (dealer suggestion) as we tracked occurrence with different trip lengths with same unpredictable results. Keeping battery on charger daily seems to help, but must be done daily or else problem reoccurs. Problem happens after shutting vehicle off and restarting -- can be after short stop (shopping) or overnight (in garage). Clearly there is a defect -- short"; relay" have heard of others with similar problem same make and model but different years. Honda dealer has been no help and now vehicle is off warranty.
Honda CR-V needs random jump starts despite having a new battery. Problem began less than a year of ownership. Headlights dim on occasion after initial start as if the vehicle was powered by battery alone instead of alternator. Dealership initially stated that it was the battery and then said that they could not find the problem. I asked the mechanics if the car's computer did self diagnostics after stopping the engine. They said they wouldn't know until towed after experiencing the problem. Problem occurs after shutting down engine. It's completely random and occurs about once a month. I can tell the night before it needs a jump when they Honda CR-V hesitates before starting.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. when the vehicle was started, the battery failed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. West county Honda (15532 manchester rd, ellisville, mo 63011, (636) 391-6900) diagnosed the vehicle, but did not find a failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Multiple Honda batteries died on the same car. Original battery died within months of purchasing brand new car. The dealer replaced then the replacement did the same thing. They replaced it. Now the battery is dying again. Will not hold a charge for even 20 minutes. Wake up in the morning. Dead. Jump it. Dead at the very next stop. There are many many many stories on Honda message boards all over the internet of people experiencing the same exact thing. I'm a single woman who has to be on the road at night. I could be murdered in a parking lot trying to jump start the car when it dies after 10 - 20 minutes. Honda knows this is happening to many people and they are doing nothing to fix it.

The vehicle always seemed to have issues when idling. After 3 years, it turns out that the alternator had a bad diode. I replaced the battery after getting stuck and then followed up with a diagnostic of the starter, alternator and battery. Immediately after replacing the battery, the alternator was only charging the battery 84%. in addition, it seems that there is an issue with the batteries used by Honda and some other possible issues with the electrical system as per online blogs. To be honest, my vehicle is 38 months old and has approx 51K miles, making it out of warranty. It would also be fair to say that after having work done at the dealer through out the years that this issue should have shon up or been addressed sooner. It is also of my opinion that an extended warranty should have been issued on the electrical system.
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.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. while driving approximately 10 mph on a slope, the vehicle revved and did not stop when the brakes were applied. The contact slowly drove to the end of the slope and was able to stop. The vehicle was taken to three different dealers, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was operating as designed. The failure recurred and was not remedied. Also, while driving approximately 15 mph on a different day, the alternator went out and the battery and check engine indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to another dealer where it was diagnosed and the alternator and drive belt were replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 14,600...updated 08/03/17 updated 09/22/2017.. updated 9/27/18

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.....
