When accelerating from a stop into a right or left turn and let up on the accelerator, then try to accelerate after making the turn, I experience a total loss of power. If I let up on the accelerator, and then press on the accelerator again the vehicle will accelerate normally. If instead when the vehicle loses power, and I continue to hold the accelerator pressed down the vehicle stays in a lost state of power until I take my foot off the accelerator and then press down again. This event happens 2 to 3 times per month since the car was delivered to me by the dealer. This is dangerous, especially if I am making a left turn or trying to accelerate onto an interstate highway 's on ramp. When reported to the dealer, I was told that this was normal for this car.
2015 Honda CR-V transmission complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 150, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When backing out of my garage into my driveway I would put my foot on the brake while I close the garage door and put on my seat belt. I would then put my foot on the accelerator to back out of my driveway but at times the car engine would rev-up and not move out of the driveway. I would then drive forward a few feet and then put the car in reverse and the car would move out of the driveway in a normal manner. This only happens a few times a month not everytime I back out of my garage.
Recently took my 2015 honda cr-v for another attempt to fix the issue. Basically, the vehicle will vibrate harshly and shudder as if it will stall with the RPM's dropping to 300-500. It happens in multiple instances- when coming to a stop/stopped in gear, while on the highway going about 60-70 MPH. It feels like the vehicle loses power/is about to stall off. I've been told by honda this is "characteristic" of the vehicle. If that's the case, why didn't they inform me this when purchasing the vehicle? Bad move, honda.
Terrible vibration while idling in gear, honda did not inform me of a current bulletin that has been issued for quite some time 15-046 for vibration issues with engine and transmission when I purchase vehicle. I informed them of vibration, they told me new engine style is causing vibration, nothing wrong with car
07jul2017: sudden, massive acceleration when braking to park' out-of-control slide/skid forward until slammed into park.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. Each time the vehicle was at a stop sign or traffic light, it vibrated. The dealer contacted the manufacturer and was guided on how to repair the failure. The radiator, lower cussing, tr s-b kit rad mt lower cussing mounting, trans, three bolt, flange, 12 x 35 bolt 12x40 bolt 12x40 mut, flange (12mm) kit, and fr head CVT software were updated. The dealer's report indicated that the PCM may cause pressure issues in the seat vt affecting the driving condition. The technician updated the CVT software as per the service bulletin and replaced the front driver's seat. The repair did not correct the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a second time and the contact was advised to call the manufacturer. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that they were looking into the failure. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified by the technician who was waiting on the solution, but was unable to provide a permanent remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 22,179.

Excessive vibration throughout cabin. Honda service recommended and applied the mod 1 repair. This has only moved the vibration around in the vehicle. Now the vibration is much more felt in the steering wheel, the passenger seat and the rear seat. A much more aggressive vibration has now shown up at speeds around 70 MPH - though this vibration is much more intermittent. The vibration has been an issue since I purchased the vehicle with 4 miles on it in july of 2015. I went back to the dealer initially and they suggested running the air conditioning or an accessory to minimize the problem. Honda was working on a fix. Still waiting for the fix and also wondering what serious problems this is going to cause down the road.

The consumer advised the RPM id the down shift of CVT transmission. Updated 04/03/2017
At a stop or red light car vibrates crazy. As soon as I accelerate from 0-40 the transmission vibrates sounding like ur going over a metal bridge. I let go off the gas petal the vibration stop I accelerate happens again.

I have a very known problem for this model year - very disturbing vibration in the cabin, when the engine is running in the 800-1800 RPM range, which is a very typical range in every day driving. Basically the problem is present during most of the city driving. During the drive - this vibration quickly escalates from being very annoying - to disturbing and eventually it causes headache and minor nausea, which definitely affects my driving ability!! Now, I bought this vehicle brand new, and owned it for almost 2 years. Since the problem appeared almost right away - I've been taking the car to the dealership four times because of this issue. Eventually the dealership performed all the official "fixes" to this problem: 1) new radiator cushions, transmission mounts, and front head restraints. 2) update of the 'PCM software' now, after the first series of fixes, the vibration got a little bit lower (though it still remained).. The dealer told us that these are the only available fixes and there is nothing else that they can do. Well, what could we do? We accepted it as is.. As something we will have to try to live with. However!!! That was not all!! Later that year, we got a official letter from the dealership with a request to bring the car in for some kind of software update, which we did. And after that "upgrade" the vibration got much worst then even before! Of course I brought the car back to the dealership and complained about vibration. They checked the car and claimed that at this point the vibration is the same level as on the rest of same model cars, and that there is nothing they can do anymore and that I just have to accept it! Me and my wife cannot drive it for any prolonged periods of time because the vibration is very disturbing and gives headache.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the while stopped, the vehicle vibrated excessively without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rpms needed to be adjusted however, the failure was unable to be repaired due to epa regulations. The contact mentioned that the technician updated unknown software but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,278.
Excessive vibration while vehicle is in drive mode and is at a stop using the foot brakes. Placing vehicle in neutral lessens the vibration. It is noticed during regular driving when stopped at a stop light or stop sign. The problem is constant and has been occurring since vehicle was purchased new in september of 2015.
Vibration: in december of 2014, we purchased a brand new honda crv 2015 model from tom wood honda in anderson, indiana. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle, (at around 5,000 miles driven on the vehicle), we noticed that; the vehicle vibrated when stopped (say at a stop light) when the car was in 'drive'. The vibration was not detected when the vehicle was stopped and in 'park'. The vibration at this time was slight and only a little disturbing. The vehicle was taken to penske honda (on the north side of indianapolis) at around 28,000 miles or so, where a '16-053 crv update' was applied. The vibration problem was made much worse, not better. Immediately after driving the car off of penske's lot, it vibrated so badly that it was extremely disturbing. Follow a few frustrating conversations with penske honda about this problem, the vehicle was taken to fisher's honda. Fisher's honda performed update 15-046 for vibration at idle, which ameliorated the problem, however, the vehicle still vibrates quite noticeably when engaged in drive and stopped at a stop light for example. The idle speed drops to around 550 RPM when stopped and in drive. The entire car shakes. The steering wheel vibrates in the driver's hands. In my opinion, no one would buy a new or even used car with this problem. I certainly wouldn't. We took the 2015 honda crv to tom wood honda. One of their top technicians drove the car with us in it. He acknowledged the problem, but stated that there was nothing more he could do to fix the problem than what had already been done, and that the problem had something to do with the engine and drive train pairing. Since that time, the vibration phenomenon when the car is stopped and engaged in drive has worsened. In addition, the car vibrates when driving the car at 35 to 45 miles per hour and the rpms are around 1,100 RPM or so.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle shook and vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several 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 manufacturer provided no permanent remedy. The failure mileage was 800. Sj
Honda cr-v 2015 and other years have vibration created by the CVT transmission. The cars RPM's drop at idol and the hole car shakes like a 2.0 earthquake. There are apparently more problems than this but honda is not publicly acknowledge ing the problem. It's been recalled for an alleged computer problem but I suspect they are trying over come the vibration. Coverup. They put new pushings in to tampered vibration. Coverup now dealer wants car back to fix but honda doesn't know how to repair it. Engineering big mistake.
My honda cr-v 2015 power suddenly turns off, car stalls, red oil light comes, car is still in reverse gear as I was backing out of garage. It had moved about 8 feet. After a moment or two engine light comes on. There is absolutely no power. To restart car I shift to park and proceed. All systems restart and no problem lights turn on. After three occurrences over about two months. I took car to honda service 08/22/2016. They noted they checked "car stops when going in reverse" and could nor get it to fail. They stated they made a system update "16-053 per bulletin pgm-fi software." they did not acknowledge any other safety recalls matching my problem. On 09/18/2016 I experienced the same problem. It was sunday and ray laks, honda was closed. I spent time looking up recalls and found your letter nvs-215sm to honda dealers dated 03/9/2015 which denotes the same problem I had - "loss of engine power while in motion." it would appear to be similar problem. Perhaps ray laks, honda dealer, 3590 southwestern blvd., orchard park, ny 14127, 716‑824‑6300 did not double check my car for that update.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. While driving approximately 55 to 60 MPH, the rpms surged and there was a disconnect with the transmission that caused the front wheels to seize. The failure recurred. The dealer and manufacturer were notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
My car vibrates horribly at rest while in gear at a stop light, shakes so bad I have to put it in neutral. Something rattles under my tail gate, I had it looked at, they said its a partial recall that hasn't been fixed yet. When I back up and put it in drive, my transmission gargles and my car shakes before it goes. It constantly shakes on the highway, ive had it realigned and tires balanced twice in 3 months. This car is awful.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle lunged forward while attempting to pull into a parking space.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The failure mileage was 16,319. Updated 10/18/16*lj updated 11/17/16*lj
I went alone to kohls on arizona ave. I was almost ready to park and almost at a standstill and ready to put the car in park. I remember putting my foot on the break and it seemed stuck and a few seconds later I recall a surge of acceleration and the car would not stop even as I attempted desperately to put my foot on the brake to stop the car. The surge of energy seemed to pull-steer my car to the right and it hit a parked car that was 3 spots to the right as there were no cars in the empty parking spots next to this car. My car almost went sideways and hit the car's front passenger side tire area and damaged it pretty badly. I was not able to control the car during this accident. I am concerned that this was a malfunction of the brake or some other operating system. I reviewed with my insurance claims agent re: my concerns re: a malfunction of the car breaks or some other system; they took care of the claim but didn't provide any guidance re: how to pursue my concerns re; malfunction: I called american honda company on june 13th and filed a complaint re; the accident to inform my concerns re: a malfunction that I feel caused this accident. I was given a case # 04758407 and told that I would be assigned a case manager who will call me within 24hrs. I was called by steven 310/783-2863 on 6/14 and let me know he was my case manager. In spite of many call to set up an apt to have my car evaluated, I have not yet received a call back to coordinate a time to get my car evaluated to see if there was any malfunction during this accident and explain to me how this could have happened w/o a malfunction as the accident is quite bizarre. I googled to see if honda cr-v 2015s have had any break malfunctions'I saw a report that had several incidents almost identical to mine in a parking lot or near parked position.
When this keyless entry vehicle is stationary, engine can be turned off and driver can exit without shifting to park. The vehicle will sound an alarm and display "shift to park" on one of it's screens. However, this does not prevent the vehicle from moving on any form of incline. We have almost lost the car three times in people's driveways with this problem. Yes, the preferred solution is to apply the emergency brake before exiting but that is not a real-world solution for flat-landers (this solution is only used on steep inclines). Our previous ignition key car would not let us remove the ignition key until the transmission was placed in park. This deficiency could easily result in an out-of-control runaway car.
Vehicle stopped and idling while in gear, vibration felt throughout the cabin. To the point where it is immediately observable, distracting, and could possibly give me a headache on longer stop-and-go trips. Contacted honda consumer affairs and they had dealer perform the applicable fixes but issue remains. Dealer claims they can't feel the vibration, however, they aren't in the car as long as I am (or are trying to cover the problem). Honda claims they can do nothing else but they will inform me of any fixes in the future. Also mentioned that I should report this issue elsewhere as they can no longer help me at this time. Per their suggestion, I'm reporting this here.
This only happened once. Going down short moderate hill on highway and all of a sudden the vehicle seemed to drop into a lower gear; as if, it had a standard transmission (has automatic). Then seemed to be in limbo for very short time, resumed as normal and have not had another incident. Very strange for a new vehicle.
Strong engine vibrations: purchased vehicle may 2015 and after I drove the vehicle a few days a strong vibration was felt from the engine while stopped and in drive. Vibration is also felt while in park. Honda has acknowledge the defect on web site but refuses to alert the customers via wide alert. Honda issued a bulletin for a three mode "fix" that did not fix the problem. Two different honda dealers have tried the procures provided in the bulletin with no avail. I repeatedly take it back to the honda dealer but now they will not open a service ticket stating " we've done all we can do" had I known of this problem I would have not purchased. What am I to do now with this vehicle that I can't even trade in because other dealers know about this issue with the 2015 honda crv.
Honda cr-v 2015 vibration . Last year I purchased a 2015 honda cr-v and as with most other owners, it has a bad vibration issue while at a stop in drive mode with foot on the brakes. I also vibrates at low speeds between 40 -50 MPH and around 70 MPH. I has been in the shop 4 times but still vibrates while stopped in the drive mode (in gear with foot on brake). I have filed a complaint with honda corp and they said even with the 4 suggested repairs which has already been preformed on my car by the local honda service center, this will not stop the vibration issue and that honda has no other known fix to stop the vibration issue and that they will not replace the car. The local honda service center verbally acknowledges the vibration issue but refused to put it on the service report that there is still a vibration issue. I see all the post from other owners with the same issue. This a distraction and I consider it a safety issue as one, time while I was setting at a red light, it started vibrating and while I was distracted by the seat and car vibrating, the truck behind me blew his loud horn and I almost ran the red light that had changed while I was distracted. I know there was a class action law suit but I do not know the status of it. They had to know about the problem prior to sending the 2015 honda cr-v to the dealers, but nobody informed the buyers of this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda cr-v. While the vehicle was in the garage, the contact shifted into the drive position and the vehicle rolled backwards without warning. The vehicle crashed into the mailbox. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,500.
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.
Vibrating when stop running and RPM rises when going down on a hill even whe push the brakes rises to 2500 RPM brakes or tires sound like grinding when coming to a stop
