This car has a vibration problem when break is applied. Since there was a recall related to software problem, we have tried to fix the problem by way of recall. However, even after the software recall services, the car is still having a vibration problem when break is applied at stationary. This rattling problem is very noticeable since a water bottle in the car can show how that bad the rattling problem is.

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.

Driving on the highway, my CR-V was working normal. Exited and going down a residential street, the brake light came on & all of a sudden all component lights came on. The engine died, unable to steer, parked it. My brother came to give it a jump & started but smelled rubber burning. The serpentine belt was busted, info on it says it should 5 years or 100K miles. My CR-V is 2 years & only has 38K miles. Still can't believe this happened & thank god not on the highway. It was towed to the body shop.

Rear view camera lens has become hazy around the edges. Picture is not bright or clear. Vehicle is less than 3 years old but out of warranty because of miles. Dealer replacement is over $300 with no guaranty it won't happen again. I believe this could pose a safety hazard when backing up. In comparison, my wifes Subaru outback has a crisp, bright and clear camera image

In June of 2015, I purchased my 2015 CR-V from J.P. thibodeaux in new iberia, la. In August, I brought my vehicle to the dealership due to excessive vibration at idle. Honda performed 2 manufacturer updates but my vehicle still vibrates. When I am at a red light on the highway, my vehicle vibrates excessively which is a safety concern. It is a distraction when an emergency vehicle approaches from behind at an intersection. The excessive vibration distracts me and it is a safety concern as a consumer. After several repair attempts, my vehicle still vibrates. The vibration is excessive and american Honda states that it is a characteristic of the new 2015 earth dream engine. As of this date, american Honda has no fix and stated that the company cannot fix the vibration due to epa regulations.
