After driving for a period of time it occurred again. Dealership reviewed and reported no problems. Requested dealership to drive vehicle at a higher speed for a period of time. Issue occurred again.

On August 1, 2021 and again on February 26, 2022 I had major issues with transmission slipping gears and my 2015 Honda CR-V stalling out on an incline while driving home. This was very dangerous and nearly caused an accident. I had my 8 year old son in the back as well and many cars almost rear-ended me both times. Additionally, i experience VERY rough idling and extremely rough gear changes which lead me to believe there is an issue with my car's transmission, specifically with the CVT system on this car. It continues to feel VERY unsafe and unreliable as i drive it and i am very worried about my safety and the longevity of my cars ability to continue running.

Takata recall 2.4l vtc actuator replacement I have had a few hondas with this engine it is very common in this engine the vtc system relies on proper oil pressure and allows the vtc actuator to make continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions. Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power. If an error occurs, the vtc system control is disabled and the valve timing is no longer variable. This should be repaired sooner rather than later to avoid a potential check engine light possibly accompanied with rough idle and/or lack of power or stalling

Vehicle (with 89,000 miles) experienced misfiring and major loss of acceleration while traveling uphill at highway speeds. Upon removing the cylinder head, the dealer noticed significant carbon buildup on intake valves and bent valves. Owner had followed all required manufacturer maintenance and used top tier gasoline, but kept rpms low while driving. Manufacturer's extended warranty initially would not cover despite known carbon buildup issues with gdi engines and lack of scheduled maintenance covering intake cleaning. Ultimately, cylinder head and fuel injectors were replaced under warranty.

When vehicle is stationary in "drive" gear harsh engine vibration "rough idle" occurs

While driving at 80 MPH on a highway, the check engine light appeared and the vehicle decreased in speed to 50 MPH on its own, although I never removed pressure from the accelerator pedal. The vehicle began to stall and pull back as if it were going to die. The vehicle did not respond when I depressed the accelerator pedal and did not increase speed. I exited the highway, applied the brakes, and came to a complete stop, but when I depressed the accelerator pedal once the traffic light turned green, the vehicle would not accelerate more than 20 MPH. The check engine light remained on the entire time. I drove the vehicle to the nearest honda dealership. The dealership advised that the vehicle was giving misfire codes and they want to keep it overnight to run tests on it. The service advisor said that the vehicle may have gone into "limp" mode, what that is. This happened while the vehicle was in motion on a highway at 80 MPH.

I purchased this 2015 honda cr-v brand new. I have taken it to the dealer who stated they have heard of this problem but no bulletin has been formally issued yet. The problem consists of two things but both are engine related. When at a stop after about 5-10 seconds the engine gets a rough idle almost like you think at first it's going to die, but it doesn't it's just annoying. However, here is a real problem. When driving down the road, or after pulling out, changing lanes (really no set pattern) the engine (and acceleration) are gone. It's like you just are without go power. Finally it catches up but if you have this happen at the wrong time it could be bad. I have changed lanes and had plenty of space but if your cr-v happens to do this in the process the closing rate is major. The car behind you is on your bumper and fast because it's like you just stop accelerating. This has happened on normal streets, pulling away from stop sign and going down the interstate. Needless to say it's really bad if it happens at the wrong place and at the wrong time. I have contacted the dealer again. And, again I am told we do not show anything (bulletin/recall) on it to have a fix/repair in place. I believe honda needs to recognize the issue and find a fix. Being the dealer has heard this complaint before at least I know I'm not alone. This is not a problem to be dismissed because a major wreck could be the outcome if it continues. As for when it's happened?? It's happened many times but so far I've been fortunate to not to get hit when my car just decides to go into this serious "sleep" mode. Note below I have checked the last date of the occurrence but not to be confused or taken as it's the only time it's occurred.

Vibrations and rumbles when in drive while at stops with foot on brakes. It's getting worse. Initial visit at the honda dealer, they could not duplicate. The second time at a dealer they said an engine update was needed and should stop it. Well it got worse, so I took it back and the vibration and rumble was duplicated but honda doesn't have a fix. Rough idles at stops and low speeds can cause a strain on the engine and eventually engine failure. The vibration is so bad that it sends waves thru my foot when it's on the brakes and the vibration is felt through out my body. The front and back seats vibrates until my 9 year old thinks that we're getting a butt massage. This is really sad and an unfortunate loss of a loyal customers trust in honda since 1990.

I bought a 2015 crv with 16 miles on it. From the beginning there has been shuddering when I drive at high speeds (or on any normal highway), and strong vibrations (rough idle). This is unacceptable on a 31k car.

The honda crv ex-l 2015 idles rough/vibrates profusely when in drive/foot on brake. The steering wheel, headrests, items in the cup holder all rattle/vibrate vigorously when the vehicle is idling at approx. 550-600 RPM. Even the back seats carry the vibration of the vehicle. My children (back seat passengers) now complain of nausea/headaches when in the vehicle for prolonged periods of time. This is much more than an 'annoyance'. This is extremely distracting to the driver, causing the driver to potentially loose focus on what is important, which is safe driving. I've had passengers comment on the vigorous vibration as well. We have brought the vehicle in for service numerous times. The vibration/rough idle was indeed confirmed; however, there is no way for the service dept to fix. A service request has been sent to honda as there is no 'fix' at this time. Completely unacceptable for a new vehicle. There are many consistent complaints of this exact problem on reputable websites all stating that honda is not fixing the problem.
