The vehicle shakes noticeably at low rpms. Specially when stopped while in gear i.e. At a red light or when accelerating slowly. The shake very noticeable, causes the seats to shake and rattles what ever is in the cup holders. It causes the rear view mirror to become useless. *js

Soon after purchase, i noticed a distinct vibration throughout the car during idle and moderate acceleration at nearly all speeds when rpm was at 1800-2200. Dealer service people did not know the cause, indicated a number of other customer complaints, guessed it originated in computers associated with the transmission or differential, could not fix it, claimed it is not a safety matter, advised to contact honda…

Purchased vehicle 1/29/15 almost immediately noticed when you accelerate the vehicle vibrates, let it go thinking new car needs to get broken in. 1400 miles later, the car is still doing it, actually i think it's worse. Took to dealer and they confirmed there is a vibration when you accelerate and continues while you're driving. Dealer said honda is aware of the issue but doesn't have a fix for it yet. In fact, the…

Car has a bad vibration and shuttering while idling and at around 60 mph. It shakes and can be nauseating at times. Paid over 30,000 for a car that is uncomfortable and makes me sick. I don't feel safe!!! Honda dealer says in a "characteristic" of the car. Something is defiantly wrong!!! *tr

At steady speeds between 20 - 45 mph, 2015 honda cr-v ex awd vibrates/shudders badly when you try to increase speed slightly. The vehicle vibrates like the transmission is shuddering/slipping and it seems to be related to the low cruising rpm (1100). Took it in to honda service and they said it is a characteristic of the vehicle and the cvt transmission. Dealer said nothing could be done to fix the issue. I test…

The car has a vibration at low speeds, 15 - 20 mph. When accelerating from 35 - 40 mph the car shudders. The dealer said mine was the forth car the had seen with this problem and there is no fix at this time. They took computer snapshots that were sent to honda. The honda regional rep told me that honda knows there is a problem. I have had no communication from honda since feb. 27 2015. I don't know if it is safe to…

I came to a stop and the vehicle started shaking violently. This happened at 2 stop lights. The vehicle had 500 miles on it. Subsequently there are various levels of vibration while at stops along with a rough ride. The seats shake along with the entire vehicle. Can't get a straight story from honda. Everything from working on a fix to it doesn't exist. 2 dealers have acknowledged the issue exists. Unfortunately…

I have been experiencing same problem with vibration since purchasing new crv2015 with awd. When sitting at a stoplight, engine rpm drops below 1000 and vibration starts to occur. As soon as car starts moving, vibrations disappear. They are quite pronounced at these lower rpm's. I also own a jeep compass with cvt and this never happened with that engine/transmission. Have not taken to dealer yet due to bad weather…

There are several ongoing problems caused by defects with this vehicle. There is a vibration when the car is in "drive" and completely stopped at an intersection. The rpm's drop, sometimes as low as 550 which causes a vibration as if the vehicle is about to stall. The lower the rpm's, the worse the vibration. On at least two occasions i have had to put the car in neutral at a stop light because the rpms dropped so…

As i was trying to accelerate, the vehicle stopped responding. This has happened about 7 times now since i bought the vehicle new in oct. 2014. It happens as i give the vehicle gas to accelerate - it seems to just stop accelerating - it lasts about 2 seconds, and then seems to recover. There is the sensation that the vehicle has shutdown/shutoff, but does not actually stall. Vehicle was taken back to the dealer who…

1) noticeable and distracting vibrations in d, mostly at low rpms. After speeding up (which, in itself is a problem see #2), to say 35 or 40, i let off the gas a bit to turn into somewhere or slow down for a car in front of me. Once i press the gas pedal again to speed up, it's as if i am still in the higher gear and the car rumbles vibrates and protests as if it is going 30mph and i am in 5th in a manual…

Mine is a 2015 crv exl. I can't believe honda built this car. It has bad vibrations when stopped and idling, the entire seat shakes. It has bad engine/ transmission shuddering when i accelerate when the engine chooses a rpm in the 1000-2000 range. Even at highway speeds it shudders at random intervals. This is a big problem. Not only is it extremely annoying, it can not be good for the engine long term. This will…

Ok, so i bought a brand new honda crv 2015 on 12/01/14. When i drove it home i felt the huge vibration at idle, so i said to myself ok maybe the engine is new so it needs breaking time. However after drive everyday from home to work, and work to home, the crv 2015 has a major problem. When it's in d mode and brake pressed, the rpm stays around 600, when i'm waiting for red light or stop sign the car just vibrates…
