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.
Engine start failure. Intermittent you never know when it will happen. Several times the car just will not crank you push the button and all you get is a click. Has not been taken to a dealer or service center because this is a known Honda issue. It has been reported multiple times. You will be stranded in the middle of the night or midday it makes no difference you cannot get to an appointment or an emergency if needed. Causes great inconvenience when you are needed to be at an appointment at a certain time in your car will not crank at random times
My vehicle has had multiple parasitic battery events where the battery has been completely drained overnight. I have replaced the battery six times since May of 2022. I took my vehicle to my auto repair shop and they checked every fuse in the vehicle and could not find the problem. The shop called the Honda Dealer service center to get advice on what the problem might be and the dealer was unable to provide any recommended solution. I suspect the problem has something to do with a faulty automatic door lock/unlock system. When I approach the vehicle with my key fob, the vehicle will unlock the doors without me touching the door handle. When I get out of the car and push the button on the door handle to lock the doors it does lock, however as I walk away from the car, the doors unlock without me touching the door handle or any part of the car.
While traveling with my wife, going north bound on 7th Ave, Oroville, Ca, at 1:30pm, March 27, 2023, at 40 mph, we heard an extremely loud bang, as if we were hit by a baseball bat, or something had collided with us. Weather was clear, scattered clouds and temperature was around 60 degrees. We had no A/C or heat on with drivers side window open about 1 inch. Road was smooth, no potholes or bumps. There was a truck oncoming, towards us in opposite lane, but had not yet passed us when we heard "bang". I pulled over and assessed what it was. Upon looking up, was surprised to see and hear the sunroof glass shattering. I had a roll of electrical tape and quickly used it to hopefully stop glass from falling into car. I drove very carefully home with sunroof shade closed. Upon arriving at home, I proceeded to use clear box tape and secured both top and bottom, of still cracking glass, and at this current time, remains so. As of this date, Honda is back ordered for this glass and is stating it will be 2 months until available.
I bought this vehicle new. We have 2 key fobs and change the batteries in them when necessary. The past year, a new occurrence developed: one fob will lock the doors but not always allow them to be unlocked. I tried unlocking the doors from inside the car, using the lock/unlock on the driver's arm rest (the windows were open) but they would not unlock. I had to get the other fob to unlock the doors. This scares me!!! I called Honda but was told there have been no reported similar issues, and they told me to go to a dealer. Because the issue doesn't always happen, I can't guarantee the fob will not work when the dealer has the car. I would appreciate advice as to how to handle this issue. Many thanks!
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.

In June 2016, my Honda CR-V 2015 broke down, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. The vehicle was towed to a Honda Dealership - Diamond Bar, CA. The Honda Mechanic diagnosed a P2138, did not solve the problem, and sent me home. The vehicle broke down once again, only for them to claim again that they could not recreate the problem. The vehicle had 12,000 miles on it at this time. I filed a complained with the NHTSA at this time. In September 2017, my Honda CR-V broke down again, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. The vehicle was towed to a Honda Dealership - Alhambra, CA. The Honda Mechanic diagnosed a P2647 and fixed the issue. The vehicle had 35,000 miles on it at this time. Now, in August 2021, my Honda CR-V broke down again, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. The vehicle was driven to a local mechanic, where he diagnosed the car to have 4 OBII codes and recommended taking it to a Honda. I took it to a Honda Dealership - Buena Park, CA. The Honda Mechanic diagnosed a P2128 only, said they don't take recommendations from other mechanics, and replaced in the APP Sensor and gas pedal. The vehicle had 83,000 miles on it at this time. Only 1 week later, My Honda CR-V broke down again, lost all power, and stopped working in the middle of the road. My ODII code diagnosed the issue as a P2138 - the exact same code diagnosed and not fixed by Honda - Diamond Bar, CA back in 2016. When I called Honda Buena Park about the car breaking down again, they stated they will charge me another $150 diagnosis fee to look at it again. The above codes have the same issues over and over again, and I believe this vehicle should have a recall with no individual/franchise dealership willing to bite the bullet, looking to yank customer's chains to make the most amount of money for simple fixes. Thank you
The car going uphill started stuttering then started losing speed. When hitting the gas its wouldn't do anything til car came to a complete stop, the gas wouldn't do anything. So we powered the car off and on again and then it worked. Until later that day while trying to accelerate the car again started stuttering losing speed and wouldn't respond to anything to make it go. Until we turned the car back off then on again. The car has also been thru 5 batteries in 5 years.
I purchased this vehicle on 10-9-20, and in late January or early February, I pushed the start button, and it clicked. Then, on the second try, it started. It has gotten progressively worse. It took about 10 minutes of trying at one point yesterday before it started. When this happens, it can start on the first try the next several times before it starts having trouble again. A friend has a Honda Fit, and had the same issues. The dealer replaced the starter, and that worked for a bit, then she had the starter button replaced, and hasn't had issues since. Some time after this, she received a recall notice for the button, and is now waiting on reimbursement. I'm wondering if there will be a recall on the CR-V as well, but currently, I see that there are no unrepaired recalls on this vehicle.
Car periodically will not start auxiliary will come on click click sound takes several tries before the vehicle will start I bought the car a year ago from the dealership car is five years old I've had a 2002 or 2004 Honda CRV I've never had this difficulty is there a starter or electrical recall.
Right front door window exploded on the highway and shattered glass in hundreds of pieces came into the car. The window had no prior rock chips and I didn't hear anything hit the vehicle-just a loud bang like a shot (not suspecting a bullet but it sounded like one hit) and the glass broke into hundreds of pieces. Was traveling in interstate at 70 mph. So glad no passenger was sitting in the front seat because I believe he/she would have had glass hit them. Glass went even into the back seat. I replaced the window at a glass company. Honda had a recall of front door glass in 2011 on the Odyssey-wonder if this is the same glass.
Airbag seat belt light remains on but is intermittent when this happens. Not covered through Honda or extended warranty. Unable to get a code using a Bosch live data plus code reader. Seat belts do not retract properly. I do not know if this is part of the Honda recall or recent federal investigation open on the airbag control unit. This airbag/seatbelt light will stay on the entire time I am driving. Bu may not duplicate the next time I start up the engine. Very concerned as Honda MA not be able to duplicate as light intermittent. Please investigate thouroghly:
Sporadically I have to push start button two or three times to get car to start. Purchased car new. Battery tested good. After talking with mechanic who told me it was just a glitch, I finally left him the car. Turned out to be starter. They replaced but I had to pay $100 deductable on extended warranty.
In purchasing a used CRV 2015 from a Honda dealer in shingle springs, ca I have found less than honest information regarding the tires and alignment. I did purchase the Honda care., I have since ( today) brought the vehicle, when driving there is a noticeable pull the right. To another dealership in hopes of finding out the truth about what is wrong with the steering, tires brakes etc.
Purchased this used 2015 Honda CRV on July 28, 2018, with only 38K miles. Noticed some vibration, very bad especially when at stop lights after two days. Contacted the dealership four days after the purchase, was told that there is a tsb for 2015 Honda CRV's, tsb 15-046. Wasn't told this before the purchase. Scheduled an appointment for check up. Was told that they are not sure what is wrong, it could be a number of things. Was given an estimate of $1100. Was told that is not a guaranteed fix.did online research. Figured out many 2015 Honda CRV owners had the same issue right after purchase. One of the links is below. www.hondaproblems.com/trends/CRV-vibration/ I and thousands of other consumers are stuck with a car that vibrates like crazy and drives you nuts and makes you feel sick. I can feel the vibration on my ears. Anger and rage is the last thing one needs while driving. This needs to be resolved. Not spending $1100 for an unguaranteed fix on a newly bought car. This is a serious issue and I believe this tsb 15-046 needs to be recalled.
TPMS light keep coming on with tire pressure normal. Dealership says tires are fine and that I must be checking the tires while hot and pressure will read higher. Honda did a tsb#14-006 for the 2014 Honda CR-V but nothing for the 2015.
