2015 Honda CR-V transmission complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 150, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle stalls when in reverse and backing up after it has sat for a period of time, sometimes as little as 16 hours. While backing up, the vehicle stalls and shuts off.
While traveling approximately 65 mph on a heavily traveled, two-laned interstate portion with minimal emergency lane access, my vehicle suddenly lost all power: first slowing down and struggling for power around 40 mph, then, completely shutting down and losing all power leaving the vehicle completely without any power and minimal control to exit the roadway or move to a safer location. I managed to coast and pull my vehicle over to the side of the interstate just after a busy cloverleaf on-ramp and on an overpass and call for assistance from the State Highway Patrol who in turn called for a tow truck. On-ramp traffic was unable to move over to the left lane as they were on-coming and merging with existing interstate traffic, coming dangerously close to myself and the State Trooper at times. So much so, I truly feared for my safety and the safety of the trooper. Also, because of the location, I was unable to get out of my car and stand to the side out of harm's way. The vehicle was diagnosed at the Honda Dealership in Tucson as a "complete transmission failure" and would have to be replaced with a new transmission for approximately $6,000.
I was driving on an expressway on July 25, 2022 and my car stopped accelerating at a speed of 70mph. The RPMs would move but there was no acceleration and the speedometer wouldn’t go above zero. After pulling over I had to have the car towed. The dealer indicated that the transmission was damaged due to lack of transmission fluid. My safety and the safety of my son were compromised as I was driving on a busy expressway and the transmission just stopped working with no warning. There were no warnings that transmission fluid was low (yet I get warnings for things like tire pressure and oil?). I regularly have this vehicle serviced so I feel like this is some defect and do not understand how this could happen with no warning. The car is still being repaired so I do not know if the parts are still available.
no engine light, honda dealer misdiagnosed the issue and told me the car was safe to drive. I broke down and then was told I needed a new transmission, there is only 87k miles on it
This vehicle shakes pretty badly at idle. We took it to Honda for repairs, there is no recall for this but they did have a service bulletin for the issue. They replaced the headrest and two mounts, one was for the transmission and the other I think was for the condenser unit and recalibrated the idle. The car did improve although the shaking was still there at idle. This was done in October and in the last two weeks the problem has gotten worse then when we first took it to Honda. The car shakes very badly and doesn't feel safe for my kids. I have resorted to putting the vehicle in Neutral at stop lights which helps.
Purchased used at 64,000 miles. Second day of ownership/operation vehicle began stalling while in operation on the road. This happened when coming to a stop, when accelerating from a stop and while at high speeds on the highway. I am not sure if th problem is caused by drivetrain, fuel delivery, engine, or electrical issues.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the vehicle lost motive power but did not shut-off. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal were depressed but failed to respond. The contact veered to the side of the road where she attempted to drive the vehicle again but was unsuccessful. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.
The automatic transmission in my 2015 honda cr-v awd touring edition automatically downshifts into a lower gear when I start driving down a hill. This causes the engine to rev high and whine loudly until I reach the bottom of the hill when it finally upshifts and works correctly. The engine is working too hard to maintain a slow speed during the descent. Can the transmission be adjusted so it doesn't downshift and hold the vehicle back? Or is this a defect with this transmission that will be covered under my extended warranty? If so, how can I get a replacement transmission installed?
Driving the vehicle on straight stretch of the freeway at about 60mph when the vehicle lost power and I coasted to the side of freeway. Placed the vehicle in park and then turned off vehicle. Started right up but when I shifted the engine would rev but not engage the transmission. None of the gears would engage. Vehicle was towed to goodyear tire and auto in davis, ca and assessed for problem. They contacted the local honda dealer and it was determined that the transmission had failed and would need to be replaced at a cost of about $4600. The vehicle had 87,000 miles on it and the power train warranty expired at 80,000. We contacted honda but they said the warranty was expired and there was nothing they would do. It seems that this year honda had a software recall which was completed on this vehicle after several thousand miles of use in 2016. The software recall fixed a problem that would lead to this exact failure in the transmission. If damage had occurred prior to the software fix then it seems likely it could shorten the expected life of the transmission and contributed to this transmission failure.
When I pulled the car out from garage, the car stopped. It has happened to me twice in two weeks.
Engine is a lemon I paid $40000 and the 3 rd cylinder of the motor is bad my mechanic said I need a new motor but honda will not help me I don't recommend it to my family and friends
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission slipped out of drive into reverse or neutral independently, without warning.

The contact's son checked the VIN for recalls however, no recalls were discovered. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
Loud rattle noise on cold start and lasts for 1-2 seconds. My local honda dealership told me that it's the vtc actuator and currently there's no fix for it. If replaced, it will eventually comes back again.
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.
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.
My son could have been killed or injured because of this vehicle. I bought this 2015 crv used with approximately 31,400. Miles. Checked the car fax no problems no accidents reported. The car dealer who inspected the car and serviced it. It had an oil job, battery, tires replaced. Drove it for 4 months with no problems. I am still under the power train warranty. Then december 17 the transmission failed while my 22 year old son was driving it on the roadway. Just lost powers. Someone eventually pushed his car off to the side of road and out of traffic. We had the car towed to joyce honda. Although under warranty they refused to fix it. Said the car had only 1 gallon of transmission fluid. No leaks. There was no problems prior, no lights lite up on the dashboard warning us to service or check the engine. No fumes. We didn't even own the car long enough to need an oil job yet. I spoke to other mechanics who said it's defective. It could notbhave been driven for four months on one gallon transmission fluid. I know honda has had many complaints with the same problem. It's a defective torgue converter that is burning off the transmission fluid. I have a case open with honda but they refuse to honor my power train warranty. This is a $4800 repair! Honda needs to stand by its warranty.
2015 honda cr-v SUV was traveling highway speed (55mph) in adaptive cruise control mode. Weather at the time of impact was 50f. Adaptive cruise control failed to detect vehicle in front and acceleration occurred resulting in impact.
Takata recall I'm driving with my honda cr-v on the freeway and my car suddenly slows down, from 70mph to 35mph and I pulled over and when I start to drive it doesn't move anymore, but the engine still turn on, it just doesn't move or back up. B I didn't hear any sounds when it happen.
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.
On may 4, 2019 I started the car and was about to drive out and the car could move forward when I put it into drive position. It reverse instead. After multiple tries, I had to call the roadside assistance and a tow truck removed the car to the honda dealer I bought I from. They discovered that the transmission was no good. After waiting for over a month for it to be fixed, I picked it up and was not satisfied with the performance. I brought it backand was told that the sound I was hearing comes from a "flat spot in the tire since it was sitting there for a long time and I should drive it for a month and if no changes I should buy new tire. " that did not make any sense to me so here I am trying to figur it out, very disgruntled, and dissatisfied!!. On top of that the vibrating of the car especially when it's idling... It makes no sense to me for a car this new to be in this condition. I need some help to solve this issue.
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.
While driving, my water pump seized causing my drive belt to disengage my drive train. This caused my vehicle to over heat as well as the belt to rub on the engine. The friction from this caused the belt to start throwing embers. The smoke from the burning belt is what indicated to me that there was an issue. The amount of smoke and embers made me fear that my car had caught on fire. After getting my vehicle towed to the closest auto shop I was informed about tsb id #a17-063. Service bulletin - the water pump seized or the drive belt shredded. The water pump bearing is out of specification. However, this is not a recall. Had this happened at a different time and place, it could have easily caused an accident or if I was not able to get off the road fast enough I fear that my car would have caught on fire.
I just bought a 2015 honda cr-v 4 days ago. I was so happy to get something newer and to be rid of my other problem car. Since having this car it has consistently been vibrating when idle and pushing down the break pedal while in drive like sitting at a light etc. I was told by dealer that's it's normal but it definitely is not normal and unbelievably uncomfortable and distracting while trying to focus on driving. It's embarrassing that anyone in the car also comments and this was suppose to be a newer car that I was happy about and proud of. I have since seen reviews online of so many of the same complaints. That is absolutely ridiculous and very scary that honda has not addressed this issue in a few years. What a horrible company to not fix an obvious issue that they've even acknowledged and to just let customers live with something messed up. Honda better step up and fix this issue for those affected instead of being cowards and avoiding it! Whether it's a recall or whatever, it is way past due for customers with these vehicles to be happy and listened too! Robin
While stopped at red light intersection on busy city street, car idle in drive gear, terrible vibrations shook the whole car before engine shut off. Car would not turn on or shift to park until placed in accessory mode. Park. Engine and accessory mode off then normal starting procedure to get car running again.
This vehicle vibrates it's steering wheel and inside the cabin at 55mph and higher making it annoying, unstable and unsafe.
Since day one there has been a strong vibration at idle. The engine will be at 650-700 rpms and then drops to 500. It shakes uncontrollably when the rpms drop at a light or while idling. I've taken it in 3 times with no repair success.
I have experienced several issues with my 2015 honda cr-v: 1. Lug nut corrosion: I have had several lug nuts replaced due to visual corrosion around the welded top to side area of the nut. Replaced under warranty @ 36,000 miles. 2. Engine / transmission vibration: low speed vibration, I can visibly see the passenger seat vibrate. High speed vibration ~ 70mph, this is felt through the seat and steering wheel. Rear hatch vibration (booming) ~ 55 - 60 MPH. The dealer has installed countermeasure parts @ 36,000 miles, but the vibration has gotten worse.
I purchased a used certified 2015 honda cr-v from a dealer. Within two days I noticed excessive vibration when idling in drive. I researched it and found out it's a honda known design flaw. They issue a bandaid fix (tsb 15-046) of new engine mounting brackets and headrests but this does not fix the vibration issue. Honda knows about the issue but will not issue a recall or admit the design flaw and fix or repair the transmission. There are hundreds of complaints about this issue that have been logged in. Until honda owns the issue and fixes it, I'm stuck with a defective and unsafe vehicle.
Transmission fluid leaking results in no power in driving on highway.cost $5,000 to repairing. Could cause accidents if in traffic on free way. My son and I were luck just drove out of free way traffic jam and off ramp and stopped at traffic light.
