Vehicle stalls while reversing in a parking lot while in motion. I believe this to be related to honda/service bulletin 18-072 as attached. This has been observed 3 times. On cold start after about 5-10 seconds the engine dies. Additionally no diagnostic error code or check engine light illuminates giving no indication there is a problem. The car does start after this happens although it has in the past, not the last time this issue occurred, I did heave to choke the engine to get it to start. During the last incident the ambient outside temperature was ~70f. The car was started and put into reverse within the first 5 seconds of ignition. The vehicle was on a flat surface during the incident. No accessories were running except for the headlights. I was not turning but backing up straight into a parking spot before loss of power and control.

Honda cr-v needs random jump starts despite having a new battery. Problem began less than a year of ownership. Headlights dim on occasion after initial start as if the vehicle was powered by battery alone instead of alternator. Dealership initially stated that it was the battery and then said that they could not find the problem. I asked the mechanics if the car's computer did self diagnostics after stopping the engine. They said they wouldn't know until towed after experiencing the problem. Problem occurs after shutting down engine. It's completely random and occurs about once a month. I can tell the night before it needs a jump when they honda cr-v hesitates before starting.

When it rains or when I wash the car, beads of water form inside the headlight lenses (both sides). I was told that a small amount of water is acceptable & not to worry that lenses are vented? Is this explanation valid? Vehicle can be in motion or stationary.

I purchased this vehicle in may of 2017. As the days got shorter and I was having to drive more at night I realized that there was a problem with the night visibility when turning. When making a turn at an unlighted intersection you can not see around the corner to make a safe turn. There is a very narrow illumination pattern in front of the vehicle. I was told by the dealership that I could install fog light and that would help with the problem. This is a definite design flaw on the 2015 model of the crv. I notice that the headlights were designed differently on the 2016 model. Is there a redesigned headlight assembly that is available for this model to correct this problem? This creates a dangerous situation when you are turning at areas where there is no additional light during the nighttime hours.

When car is on idle with drive gear , the car gets vibrate and it gets worse when air condition is turn on. 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 5400 milages with no resolution. Must turn headlights on to eliminate fibration

I purchased my crv ex awd a couple of weeks ago. Shortly thereafter, I noticed that the seats shake causing a vibration in the car when I'm stopped and the vehicle is in drive. When this happens, the engine is warm and idles around 600 rpms. I have found that if the A/C is on or the headlights are on, then the vibrations lessens after the engine idle increases. I've contacted honda, but they only said that they are aware of the complaint and that "if" a remedy can be found they would notify the owners.

Car vibrates at idle, only way to fix this is to either put the car on neutral, or put load(turning on headlights, heat/AC,ect..) car CVT also makes a small whiny sound during acceleration.
