So I went to my Honda dealership (Doylestown, PA) today with issues of my oil lamp going on (for a few days). The oil was low (it seemed to burn real quick) and adding additional oil was the item that was performed on my vehicle. However the service representative told me to come back after I have driven for 1000 additional miles for them to check and see if the issue is the Piston Rings. Which he stated may run at least $3000. So I did some research and noticed that a recall (recall number KF6) was created for engines issues for Honda CRV 2015 (mgr Feb. 8 2015 - July 28, 2016). My SUV was mgr on April 2015. I wanted to see if it's possible that there is an issue with my vehicle and this recall.
2015 Honda CR-V engine complaints
Page 3 of 10: complaints 41 to 70 of 254, newest first, as owners wrote them.
No engine response from stop. 2 to 5 seconds before engine responds to accelerator. Happens mostly when engine at temperature. Dealer insisted it was transmission. Checked and found nothing wrong. No acknowledgement that it could be the engine. Have seen same complaints on internet but not solutions to the problem. Happens most trips but not always. May happen for several stops or may not. Started when car was still under warranty and continues today. Started at about 30,000 miles and car has 90,000 miles now. Definitely a safety issue.
I took my car to the repair shop because my car vibrates and idles low to where it feels like it is going to cut off at a stop sign or traffic light while in gear. The shop changed out the valve gasket and did an oil change paid $260.00 the car continued to low idle and vibrate at the stop lights and and stop signs felt like it was going to stall out. A week later I took my car to another repair shop and they changed out the coils and spark plugs also cleaned the body throttle which cost me $820 left there and still my car at traffic lights and stop signs while in gear vibrates and idles low and feels like it is going to stall out. So I took it back to that shop 3 more times for the same issue. I then took the car to the honda deal ship where they did a diagnostic and updated the computer system and still my car vibrates and idle lows and feels like it is going to stall out when in gear at stop lights and stop signs. Honda did not fix the issue.
Loud rattling noises with associated strong unsettling vibrations come into the cabin. These vibrations and rattling noises have been very distracting. The rattling noises begin at a low volume and become quite loud. The associated vibrations make me feel very uncomfortable. These distractions certainly distract me from driving safely and are a safety hazard.
Rattling sound coming from the engine on cold crank. This started subtle but has progressively gotten worse.
Just purchased a 2015 crv ex. Everything was copasetic until the first time it wouldn't start up. When I pressed the ignition I let off the brake seemingly too early, because as soon as I did so, it putted to a halt. Turned it over on a jump and chalked it up to leaving a light on or old/week battery. The second and third time, about two and three weeks later was reason to be because of the same cause. Then the occasional not starting turned into needing a jump every time I used the vehicle. I took it to two auto supply stores to get codes on the issue. Onr shop said bad alternator diode, the other a bad alternator and bad battery. Then the battery blew up. I killed the car when I got home and tried to start it up again to see if the battery held a charge. When I tried to turn it over again, I pushed the button immediately after pressing it off. I imagine I tried to start it too soon to when I killed it because there was a deep boom, to find out the battery blew up. There was a large hole in thr side of it. So I put in a new/used/ larger battery that was never able to start the car itself so I continued jumping it every time I used it snd never turning it off while running errands. At one point I had a friend put his multimeter to use to test the alternstor. Those numbers where all over the place, jumping up and down on an idle. At this point ive chalked it up to a bad diode, parasitic drain, or bad wiring. Help! I can't afford to fix this thing.
Car had low engine oil light come on. Dealership diagnosed it as excessive oil consumption, and suggested piston rings replacement, estimated cost $3000. The mileage on car was 84,155 and always had timely oil change done at same dealership. Similar issue was apparently for crv 08-11 models .
After driving my car for a while and I'm waiting at a light my car stars to vibrate and sometimes it's stronger than others.
In every statement/complaint at the service center, I always stated that the front seats vibrate when the engine is on and in gear. After reviewing sb 15-046, the initial repair in 2016 was for driving mode 1. On the second repair in 2017, the technician performed driving mode 2 repair without notifying me via phone or in person about the repair in accordance with the sb 15-046. Sb 15-046 states, for driving mode 2 update notes: -you must make sure the service advisor has reviewed the customer information statement for driving mode 2 with the customer before the software update is performed. -verify that the service advisor has noted on the customer information statement that he or she has reviewed the customer information statement for driving mode 2 with the customer. -the noted customer information statement must be retained for future records and attached to the repair order before doing the software update, as this software may have a small impact on fuel economy. All of the notes on the sb 15-046 were skipped when honda of serramonte was repairing my car. In the diagnosis section on page 6 of sb 15-046. 'you must only perform the repair based on customer concerns.' everything performed on the car or comments from the technician is record in the service invoice. To this day, I was never informed of the driving mode 2 update in accordance with sb 15-046. Nor, did I sign the customer information statement because the service invoice from jul. 1, 2017 does not mention any customer information statement from sb 15-046.

The car does not start instantly when pushing the start button, it takes 4-5 tries to start.
When I am going up roads towards any down roads, that means any up position to down position then my car stopping and not moving forward and the engine making big noise. I feel the engine trying to shut off itself. It is very dangerous for me also for other drivers on road. Other drivers thinking I pressed my brake but not. I am not pressing brake. My vehicle is honda crv 2015 and mileage is 62000.
Car cuts out shortly after starting while backing out of driveway several times per week. Restarts after stopping, and putting in park. Has happened 75-100 times from 2019-now(4/29/20)
Serpentine belt broke at just over 38,000 miles. I had just gotten off i95, no lights on the dash , nothing unusual happening. Upon breaking to slow down, there was a bad smell and then smoke. This was in less than 1 block from the exit.
2015 honda crv front seat vibrates. It was supposed to fixed in accordance to tsb 15-046. The vibrations is still apparent after 20k miles later. When my crv is stopped with vehicle in gear (at a stop sign or red light). I took it back to the dealership and the technician a marking the issue as normal vibrations. This is just another way for honda not taking responsibility for the poor engineering. I am very concerned that the vibrations will eventually loosen up the seat bolts. There are a few videos of 2015 honda crv front seat vibrations on youtube.
During last few years, the car went into a stale (engine completely stopped) while moving.
The problem I am facing with my vehicle is when it is motion, sometimes it loses strength in the engine. This also happens when I try to climb high elevation roads. Looking on the web I found my issue in the following recall "17v305000" and the description is the following: "the reduced performance may result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash." I have taken my vehicle to the dealer, triangle honda, and I have followed all its recommendations of arrangement which have been the following: replacement of the starter, replacement of spark plugs, replacement of injectors, change of engine oil, etc ... None of the following nothing they have recommended and repaired has solved the problem. I ask you with favor and with great respect that due to the seriousness of the situation, which can lead me to an accident, consider adding my vehicle to the recall "17v305000" because according to the summary of it needs a replacement of the engine.

I'm having continued issues with the engine's vtc rattling and random engine speeds. It has been repaired once but the rattle ahas returned and is worse. No service lights are present.
In early 2018, around the 80k mileage mark the oil light came on. The car was due for it's oil to be changed, checked the oil level and it appeared dry. Purchased a 5 qt bottle and emptied almost all 5 quarts into the oil tank. The car had been sounding funny for a couple of weeks, but never considered the oil level an issue or the cause of the funny sounds. Once I filled the tank the sound disappeared. Had the oil changed by the dealership 2 days later and commented on the issue. An oil consumption test was recommended. Went back at 1000 miles after the oil change and was told all was fine. Skipped further oil consumption testing at this point. At the next oil change (5k miles later) was told my tank was down nearly 4 quarts. Decided to go through the oil consumption test again. 1st test, down 1 quart 2nd test down 3/4 quart 3rd test down 3/4 quart. Was told by service manager that 1 quart/1000 miles, is considered acceptable my honda standards/policy. A search of the internet revealed that there are many other 2015 honda crv owners with the same complaint with no resolution/satisfaction by honda. This issue with excessive oil consumption may lead to premature wear on engine parts and possible engine fire since dealership can't explain why there is excessive oil being consumed or possibly leaking when on the highway.
I was driving car on city street about 40 miles hours, tried to accelerate twice , car started slowing down . The third time I tried to accelerate. The car finally begin to accelerate. The second time was driving on city street and went to yield right of was before making a right turn . I slowed to yield then accelerated the car stalled as it was stopped. I tried to accelerate again and then the care accelerated slowly. Another car came through red light and was right on my bumper when my car stalled. This is very dangerous.
My problem with my honda crv happens first thing in the morning but intermittent. So when backing the car out of garage it will feel like it's gonna to stall or shake sometimes stalls car or almost stalls. I have taken the car to dealer but unable to duplicate problem. My first time to dealer and told them of problem was told honda was aware of problem and I would be contacted once they had a fix. I'm still waiting. I also bought to other dealerships and no luck. I still have vehicle warranty and hoping to get problem fixed. Thanks for your time, corey
The motor stalls when making pulling away from a dead stop. I have noticed this in particular when making a turn from a dead stop. It has almost got me hit a few times and this has happened numerous times. I contacted my dealer when this first happened and they said it needed a software update which they did, it didn't fix the problem. It doesn't do it all the time as it is sporadic but when it does do it it makes it very dangerous when making a turn and oncoming traffic is coming towards me. Honda will not address this issue with this vehicle for me.
When I slow down and stop the car, engine shuts off.the RPM drops and engine shuts off.
The car stalls while moving slowly in reverse. This is dangerous in two ways. Way one, while moving in reverse the car stalls, and thus I stop moving when I and the people around me thought I would continue. The second way is I often end up reversing more quickly when I feel the car beginning to stall, this keeps the car from stalling but causes me to move in reverse faster than I would like to. This usually happens when the car is started from a cold start (after sitting overnight). . This issue has been happening to me for at least half a year. Not every time I start the car, but at least once a week. I bought the car new in june 2015. Also in general the car shudders significantly while idling in drive. I fear that soon the car may start stalling in drive as well while it is idling. Many people report these same issues online, and a recall should be done before the problem gets worse as the cars age.
My car began shaking while I was driving on the highway and shut down as I was driving. Was towed to honda, they couldn't find anything wrong, fixed a recall and sent me back out on the road. It then happened a second time, car started shaking while driving and shut down as I was driving on a main highway almost killing myself and others. Towed to honda again and they said a gasket should have been replaced and wasn't viewable to the eye, engine now needs replaced. I see other engine recalls on this car and wonder if this is a part of what happened with my vehicle. It only has 65,000 miles on the vehicle and its such a shame that I now have to either purchase a new engine or sell my vehicle. I've been battling that honda shop for months now
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
Gas improperly leaking into the oil. My original engine failed with no root cause analysis confirming the problem. The dealership installed a different used engine and after 2,500 miles on oil installed in december 2018, sent the oil to a blackstone labs for testing on feb 1, 2019. They confirmed high levels of gas in the oil. My original engine had a catastrophic failure and it will be repeated again if we cant get honda to own this problem.their response so far is there is no problem. This problem seems to happen during the winter months in the midwest. The first sign is the oil dipstick showing oil levels rising over weeks. The final result from the lowered combustion temperature of the oil is an event which converts the remaining oil to sludge which causes engine failure within a short time frame after the car cools down. It's not clear how the high levels of gas in the oil causes the engine failure or how the oil converts to sludge within weeks.
