    2015 cr-v touring vibrates in park or drive (when the car is not moving). The rpms are about 550 to 600 and at times seems like the engine wants to turn off. Vibration overall is pretty strong, i hope honda fixes this issue. A/c can be on or off, same issue.

    There is a high vibration and engine noise, and is getting worse with time when i stop at a red light. Even after taking the car in for honda to fix the problem, after 4 times the issue has not been fixed.

    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 purchased my crv ex awd a couple of weeks ago. Shortly thereafter, i noticed that the seats shake causing a vibration in the car when i'm stopped and the vehicle is in drive. When this happens, the engine is warm and idles around 600 rpms. I have found that if the a/c is on or the headlights are on, then the vibrations lessens after the engine idle increases. I've contacted honda, but they only said that they are…

    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.

    We purchased a 2015 cr-v in may of 2015. It had 7 miles and we test drove it for a few minutes &loved the suv and we did not notice any issues or vibrations. A few days later my girlfriend noticed the vibration since she drives it daily to work on one of the busiest freeway (405). She explained to me that the vibration was pretty bad &nauseating. I decided to drive the cr-v to work. I also take the 405 freeway and…

    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.

    At idle speeds (at stop sign or red light), the car vibrates. The front seats start shaking quite a bit - the problem goes away only if you switch to neutral or put additional load on the engine (i.e., turn the a/c or heater on). Reading various forums, this problem appears to be widespread. Honda even acknowledged the problem in a video posted in april and yet they continue to sell the car. The video can be found…

    Shortly after purchasing i noticed a engine vibration when stopped or idling. Called dealer to complain and they said they were aware of the issue and that honda was working on it. I would not ave bought the car if i would have noticed it sooner. Totally unacceptable. This is very annoying and distracting.

    I leased a honda 2015 crv and started noticing nauseating vibration when stopped at lights. When the car's rpm hit under 1000 the vibration in the car gets continually worse. When rpm hit 500 the car vibrates so much it causes driver and passenger to visibly shake. This occurs ever time the car hits 500 rpm, which for me occurs at least [redacted] of my daily work commute . You will feel this shaking from you back…

    Intermittently while in economy mode, when accelerating from a stop or while moving and increasing speed the engine hesitates anywhere from one to five seconds before any increase in speed or engine rpms. This is very dangerous and has caused me to almost be t-boned numerous times. There are many complaints about this on various sites on the internet. My dealer says this is normal because of the type of…

    While in low idle (less than 750 rpm) vehicle shudders while in drive or "s" gear. Shudder decreases if car is shifted to neutral, or if brake continues to be applied and a bit more rpms are introduced by tapping the accelerator. Happens in either regular drive or eco mode. Doesn't happen all the time, but is annoying when it happens.
