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. *tr

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.

The cr-v vibrates when stationary in park position and when you drive. It really shakes as you drive in the city stopping at stop signs or lights while in drive. It feels like engine could stop. It has a slight hesitation upon accelerating. This is with the a/c off. The a/c disguises the vibration when on mostly.

I have previously complained about the vibration at idle, engine shudders on acceleration, and lack of acceleration on a highway merge on this site, the dealership, and to honda, to no avail. This past weekend, the serpentine belt broke while i was 3 hours away from home. This renders the car unable to drive, and it had to be towed. We experienced strong vibrations in stop and go traffic before i smelled burnt…

When moving and accelerating there is a loud noise that comes from underneath the vehicle appearing to come from the transmission area. This happens with different drivers on paved interstates as will as county 2 lane roads. You can be turning or going straight but this noise is only when the car is moving.

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…

Vibration felt at 20-25 mph and at higher speeds through the steering wheel and by sound with the vibration becoming stronger as the mileage increases. Discussions with the honda dealership concerning a refund have not been fruitful. I am concerned that the problem may result in a crash; but honda is very slow to resolve the issue.

While driving our 2015 crv a day after our initial purchase it began to shake violently at idle. So bad that in stop and go traffic it can cause the driver and passengers to start to feel sick. Honda has acknowledged the issue but says that it isn't a safety concern and it is a characteristic of the vehicle. Additionally the car vibrates and feels as if might die when slowing down at a stop light. The same thing…

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…

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.

My car has a serious vibration issues when it idles or is revving up to 40-50mph. It is incredible distracting and only has been getting worse since i bought the car. I am very concerned that this issue will continue to grow and outside of it being very annoying it has been distracting me and causing even the passenger in the front seat to ask "what is that? It can't be normal". I hope this agency along with honda…

Very strong vibration at idle. Very annoying and can cause harm to my body and it really makes me regret buying the car each time i stop at a stop signal or at a red light. I have filed a complaint with both the dealer and honda to take back my costly brand new crv 2015 touring for a full refund. I haven't heard back from them yet.

The vibration makes the car extremely uncomfortable to drive for the driver…

About 1-2x per month, after car sits for several hours (and power train is cold), vehicle will shudder when first starting out in reverse or drive. This usually occurs when in reverse and riding brake after starting the vehicle. Rpm does drop to about 500 rpm for about a second, making vehicle feel as if it will stall (similar to not giving enough gas with a manual transmission). Engine will then rev slightly above…
