My current and 2012 honda crv along with my granddaughters 2012 civic loses engine power while in a turn. It feels like the engine is failing for a brief moment. I have reported this to honda but they didn't seem too concerned. I believe it could be a safety issue to me and other drivers. These events have been going on for many months.
2015 Honda CR-V engine complaints
Page 6 of 10: complaints 131 to 160 of 254, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased a year 2015 honda crv on may 8, 2015. I have just one complaint (concern) and that is the engine vibration at idle speed (while sitting at a traffic light). It's an intermittent occurrence but there most of the time. I read about the recently filed class action law suit case no. 2:15-md-2661 dated january 19, 2016 and I want to go on record about my vehicle. Thank you
When at a stop and in idle the car vibrates as if there is not enough RPM's to keep it running properly. Also vibrates when driving slowly or at a lower RPM. Waiting for a recall as honda has admitted that there is something wrong with the car due to the transmission and engine combination.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. While driving at both low and high speeds, the vehicle shook and vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than three times, but they were not able to provide a permanent remedy for the condition. The dealer test drove the vehicle and indicated that the failure was associated with the newly designed engine and transmission/power train. The contact stated that the condition continued to progress with no solution to repair the vehicle. The contact was nauseous frequently when the vehicle vibrated and shook. The manufacturer provided no permanent remedy. The failure mileage was not available.
Engine loses power, gears dont shift in timely manner, wouldnt go in reverse,while car is in motion and in traffic.
We purchased a new honda crv 2015 december of 2015. The same week we took the car home, we noticed a very strong vibration at idle when the car is in gear, for example, when stopping at a red light. The vibration is so strong that it feels as if one is sitting in a 'massaging chair'. We (my wife and I) have gotten dizzy and nauseated from the vibration. We notified the dealership and american honda immediately. Since then, the dealership attempted to repair the car 5 times and was unsuccessful. I then requested them to buy the car back and they denied it. They even said that they were not going to repair my car anymore for the same issue. The last time I took the car to the dealership was saturday february, 13 2016. In the repair order, the dealership clearly states that the vibration was present after the repair.
Virbration. Steering pulls left.the car has serious vibration at idle, @600 RPM, 1200 RPM, 1800 RPM and 2200+ RPM. This vibration transmits through seat, steering column, floor and pedals. Back pain is induced within just a few miles of driving. Feet get pins and needles and go numb as well as hands and arms fatigue quickly. Driving is limited in range as a result. Dealer attempted 4 repairs including reprogramming, remounting radiator and modifying engine. Vibration was dampened in the seat only at lower rpms. Mpg decreased from 33 mpg to 28 mpg. Car pulls strongly to the left. Having one hand on the wheel (e.g. Reaching for a.c.) is not sufficient to keep it in a straight line. This has caused many near misses on two lane roads and now I just don't adjust a.c. Unless I have to (foggy window etc.) I take i95 and this causes problems on ramps. I was told this was all related to the cv transmission, and it takes getting used to, but I had nissans with cv transmissions. For years. I have repair documentation but am unable to upload it at this time. Please contact me if you need them. I returned the car to the dealership immediately upon discovering the problem (within 48 hours of purchase) and they took no action or attempted repair until I had contacted them repeatedly.
Vibration and rattling while driving car. I find this very distracting and dangerous and it happens at different speeds.
My wife and I purchased the 2015 cr-v ex-l awd on january 5 2016 at staten island honda. After only 11 days and 300 miles on vehicle as we were driving for a ski vacation I noticed a crackling noise when I would turn the steering wheel in either direction. I then noticed that none of the steering wheel controls worked or the radio. In addition to this my horn didnt work and my bluetooth would constantly say (htc is ok ) both my radio interface screens would always flash different maintenance malfunctions. My cellphone would also randomly connect and make calls. Then as I was driving to get gas off the nj turnpike my horn started to go off non stop and I had to pull the horn fuse out from under the hood. I also noticed a very strong vibration when vehicle is idle and stopped at traffic lights on both driver and passenger side and now seems to be getting worse . Our vehicle was serviced from january 19-21 and the mechanic stated that they replaced the fuses and the cable reel and said the vibration was normal. I did some further research and there is a lawsuit against honda in regards to the 2015 cr-v vibration issue. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and feel that I was sold a $30k lemon . I have owned hondas in the past with no issues but after this experience and honda being aware of this issue and still sold these trucks the company has lost my trust. When going through my documents I noticed that I was missing alot of paperwork from my sales contract and I brought it to the attention of the sales representative. At first he said he gave us everything and then realized he didnt but didnt have access to the file room to give us the necessary documents. He stated he would get back to us and never did. So in all I would not recommend going to staten island honda due to their incompetent sales staff and I hope honda resolves all of these issues.
When car is on idle with drive gear , the car gets vibrate and it gets worse when air condition is turn on. After the repair of service bulletin 15-046, the issue is vibrating and it gets worse when turn AC on. The first service was on 1/7/16 with 136 milages and the second service was on 1/19/16 with 678 milages with no resolution. When I drive to work, the vibration and shaking cause my body get nauseated and headaches.
Intermittent vibration while at idle or 2200 RPM while driving. Taken to dealership for resolution 3-4 times but the problem persists. Was advised by dealership where vehicle was bought to seek help from another dealership. Manufacturer software upgrade did not address the issue, we were even advised the software update decrease fuel efficiency by 20%. Brand new car running like a worn-out vehicle. Honda says it is not a safety issue, firmly disagree, eventually consistent vibrations will cause parts to loosen. Do we have to wait for accidents to happen before honda and the government to address this issue? When will consumer safety protection come first before profits and reputation? It is plain disgraceful...
Suv would not start. Vehicle parked in parking lot. Outside temperature 27f. Battery checked ok. Dash board lights came on but engine would not start. Attempted 6-7 times. Dash board lights just flickered with no response from engine. Turned off ignition for 25-30 minutes and engine started with another attempt. Vehicle driven to local honda dealership.
Bought a honda crv-lx 2015 two months ago only to have a vibration problem after three weeks. Hondas fix was to put new head rest with shorter post and bushings under radiator, rear tail gate , transmission and engine so as to mask vibration problem. After doing this the steering became hard not like it was when we first got the vehicle, the steering goes from very easy to almost manual I consider this a safety problem. Unfortunately honda of america will not acknowledge that it was a design flaw and the car should not be sold. It vibrated at a stop very bad then it feels like you have studded snow tires on at 40 to 50 miles an hour which they claim is a software fix there is a class action law suit in california against honda for these problems.
I noticed some vibration on the front seats of the car when I am at the stop sign an my car is in the drive mode (d) with my foot on the brake paddle. There is vibration when the car is in idle mod and this is very annoying,
We bought our 2015 honda crv within a few months and less than 4,000 miles it started vibrating excessively looking online this seems to be a manufacturers problem. When we called the dealer they played dumb to any issues yet the amount of complaints our horrendous.
There is a high vibration and engine noise, and is getting worse with time when I stop at a red light. Even after taking the car in for honda to fix the problem, after 4 times the issue has not been fixed.
Vehicle shudders and vibrates under light to moderate acceleration from 15 to 40 MPH. Dealer acknowledges same problem with other 2015 crv vehicles with the CVT transmission. Vehicle must be driven in lower gear ('sport") in order for symptoms to disappear until vehicle reaches 50+ MPH. Dealer says fix must come from honda in the form of a software change.
I purchased my car in may the recall was issued in march so obviously they did not pull the 137 cars affected. After 6000 miles with no warning, no check engine light no safety warning sign other then a rapping sound that continued to get louder until the car was inoperable. This started well driving down route 28.when I was contacted by the repair center I was told that 3/4 of the engine needed replaced. When I expressed concern with the results of all of the engine fluids being shared through out the engine and feeling uncomfortable with only fixing 3/4 of the engine. I contacted american honda. They didn't care that this had happened. That the car was not pulled and fixed when they issued the recall. American honda does not care about customer satisfaction. When I asked chris the customer rep that was assigned to my complaint to be transferred to a supervisor to fill a official complaint I was told "there is no one higher then him" he didn't care about my concerns for safety or about the investment I made in purchasing a new vehicle. So once you buy it your on your own they don't care about customer safety or concerns.
The car is vibrating like crazy. We bought it brand new and I called the sales person after purchasing and he told me there are complaints about the vibration but nothing is wrong and that it is normal. The vibration is getting worse and am getting sick of driving a $30,000 car with vibration.
Vibration/shudder/low RPM's. Noticed 2 days after driving the car home from the dealer. Dealer was immediately contacted. Was told to contnue driving the car, that it was probably nothing. Took the car back within 2 weeks of purchase at which time I was told that honda knows about the problem and that there is no soluation at this time. They refussed to replace my brand new honda crv 2015 with a trouble fee car. And to this date (7 months later) they still have no soluation. My car vibrates and shudders all the time the RPM's are low causing a disconnect when engaging the gas peddle. Honda said it's a software problem----which they knew about when they sold me the car---but again---have no solution. Again, the honda crv 2015 vibrates/shudders/low RPM's when its idling or in motion----all the time!!
Shake out of the seat vibration when stopped in drive and all accessories and lights off. Transmission vibration at takeoff up to 30 MPH, or 1,500rpm. The issue is constant, and honda dealer states it is a known problem.
At a full stop with brake pedal applied, excessive vibration occurs from engine . Both passengers in front and rear can feel it along with driver. Rpms drop below 600. Feels like the vehicle is going to stall. Only occurs at full stop when warmed up with brake pedal applied. Seems like low RPM problem. Will bring back to dealer this week. It seems many others here are experiencing same problem. This vehicle has less than 4000 miles on it and was purchased new . Manufacture date was 02/15. Wondering if this is problem associated with the current recall. Please address. Thank you.
Purchased the 2015 crv in february 2015. Approximately a week after making the purchase, the vehicle began extensively vibrating while stopped at a stop light or stop sign, with the vehicle engaged in the drive position and the brake pedal was pressed. I immediately noticed that the RPM's dropped below 600. The vibration is felt in both the drivers and passengers seats, but moreso in the drivers seat. It feels as though the vehicle is going to stall out. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle as I have the constant fear that it is going to stall out at any given time. I have taken it in to the dealership service center on four occasions, but they state they cannot reproduce the problem so they have been of no help. This is a known problem by honda, but it appears as though they are merely brushing it off in hopes that the complaints will stop.
Vehicle seats vibrates on d mode if you stop the vehicle. Rpm moved automatically between 600 to 800 rmp on vehicle stop in d mode and AC is on
Bought this vehichle month ago. Around 1000 miles on odometer now. Vehichle have terrible vibration when stop in drive gear at stop lights or in slow traffic. Vibration are strong and made me nauxious in slow traffic one day. I took car to dealer but they not accepting it as a problem but saying its a charactristic of this vehichle. They updated the ECM software but problem still there. I am afraid this can get worse and result into major component failure or safety hazard. Honda should find the fix or stop selling
I bought a brand new 2015 honda cr-v ex fwd a month ago. When the vehicle was little over 600 miles, I started feeling a severe vibration intermittently at idle in drive mode when I stop at stop signs. The frequency and severity increased now when it is about 1000 miles. Just to check its severity I placed an empty plastic bag on the passenger seat and I could here the noise made by the bag due to vibration. It was as if like massaging on my back and back of head. When I reported it to service department, they checked and told me that its a know issue with all 2015 models and no fix has been identified. I called american honda also as per their suggestion and they also acknowledged this issue but said no fix is available. I'm wondering if there is any body that actually regulates auto makers to not sell vehicles having issues. If there is a know issue like this how can they keep selling the vehicles with issues and how does honda sales people don't know about this issue? Its almost end of 2015 and when are they going to develop a fix?
. Intermittently, when stopped at a stop sign with automatic transmission in "drive" mode and tachometer at 800 RPM, the steering wheel, brake pedal and passenger seat vibrate. I mentioned this to the service department at cambridge honda and they told me that they don't have a fix for this defect and that they are hoping that honda motors will be able to come up with solution to this defect at some point.....updated 12/30/15 *bf the consumer stated there is a vibration of the steering wheel and driver's seat when idling at 800 rpms. Updated 2/23/2016*js
The 2015 honda cr-v has a problem with a vibration while the car is stopped idle and in drive at slow speeds the idling occurs at every stop light, and in heavy highway bumper to bumper traffic. The vibrations are experienced in the front passenger and driver seats and center console. Drivers and passengers experience motion sickness including headaches, nausea. Any new passenger in my vehicle is startled by the vibrations. Every new passenger comments about the startling vibrations. Some passengers even scream due to the startling vibrations. All of this is extremely distracting to the driver who is trying to pay attention to the traffic. The car feels like it is hesitating and will stall when the gas petal is depressed. This has not happened yet, but the issue is getting worse not better. Honda admits to this issue, but offers no resolution and calls this merely an annoyance. This issue is getting worse and the manufacturer has been given a chance to fix the issue. I am not certain if the issue is the motor, transmission, or fuel injection system. It could be any of those systems. The attempt to make the cr-v more fuel efficient by using the honda accord's engine has been a failure and resulted in a major safety issue with the cars.
I bought a brand new cr-v ex-l based on excellent reviews from consumer reports and edmunds. I expected the car to be perfect. However, honda sold me the defected car without any notice even this defect was known for months. The issue is a vibration during idle. For example, when I stop on the traffic light, the passenger seat starts to shake. If I release breaks vibrations will go away. It is not normal. I noticed this problem 2 months after the purchase (or 600-700 miles). Then I went to the dealer and he told me that honda's engineers were "working on it", no solution was found yet and I had to wait for a further notice. Visible vibrations mean that there is mechanical resonance in the car. An example of destruction due to mechanical resonance would be a collapse of tacoma narrows bridge. Thus, my safety concern is that the car can be damaged structurally. For example, few bolts may come loose and the car may disintegrate during the drive. The problem could be that a newly introduced CVT transmission in honda cr-v 2015 doesn't go along with the engine and they produce excessive vibrations that spread thru a car frame to the seat. Probably, the car wasn't tested properly during design process. Thus, honda engineers overlooked this problem. I have a video file of vibrations but it's too big for upload. Anyway, you can see this issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr-yqajrrb8
I purchased this vehicle on october 18, 2015. I didn't know about the vibration issues until after I bought it. The day after I bought it I noticed significant vibrations when waiting at the light to turn green or to make a left/right turn while on d gear. Both the passenger and driver seats vibrate as well as the steering wheel. The vibrating problem continues to this day. I am hoping this will not be a safety issue. I have never had to worry about my safety in regards to owning a honda until now. I have had 2 other honda cars previously and never had issues with them such as this one. I am hoping that honda will fix this problem soon because a new car should not have this kind of problem. If honda knew about this problem, it should have at least told its dealerships to divulge this information to prospective buyers so that they could make a more educated decision/purchase. If I had known about this I would have purchased a subaru instead. I have notified the dealership where I bought the car about the problem. I still need to get their service technician to look at it so that the problem can be thoroughly documented in the event of a recall. I want/need this problem fixed asap.
