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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
