    My brand new honda after driven for 15-20 minutes begins to shake/vibrate when idling, sitting at a light or at low speeds. The steering wheel and the seats visibly shake. When easing off of the gas pedal the car lunges slightly. I am afraid this will get worse and was disappointed to hear from my dealer that there currently are no fixes for the problem. *tr

    Bought the 2015 honda cr-v and it has a problem of vibration when at stop lights or stopped with the brake on. When it idles the vibration is quite obvious - passenger seat shakes. Put the car in neutral and it stops. Took the car to the honda dealership and said honda is aware of this problem and they are looking for a fix. I do hope it is soon as i am very disappointed that this is happening with a brand new car.…

    New 2015 honda crv idles very rough and shakes the seats every time the car is stopped at an intersection, traffic light, or just idling in general. This is not the quality product that usually comes from honda corporation! We owned a 2002 odyssey for 13 years and never had a complaint or a problem with it other than general maintenance. I would never recommend a 2015 honda c-rv to anyone. I am a car salesman and…

    There is an issue with the 2015 honda cr-v where the car vibrates and rattles significantly when idling in drive with brake depressed. The rpm seems to drop down to 600 and the engine starts making noise and vibrating. At the present time it is only an inconvenience and irritating but i feel that if this continues them we may be looking at premature wear and tear of parts just due to the excess vibrations. Consumers…

    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.

    Vibrations felt thru steering column, pedals and floor in the rpm range 1,000-1,500. Happens during all normal driving speeds, very annoying and have requested a full refund. Honda should not be able to sell without fully disclosing this defect. I would like to join a class action suit if not fully refunded. *tr

    My 2015 honda cr-v touring model vibrates intermittently. It is worse when at idle such as at a stop sign or red light. It does happen, dangerously so while driving down the highway at speeds of 65-76 mph. Honda call this a "characteristic of the car" "an annoyance". It is more than this. It is a safety issue. Sow one is going to be seriously injured or worse. *tr

I would get a message acc off. This was also intermittent through out the…

    A strong vibration when vehicle is stopped and in drive. The vibration rattles the whole car- you can see the vibration in open windows, the passenger seat, the gear shift. Uncomfortable drive and lack of confidence in the safety of my vehicle. Scared to drive my car on long distances. First honda- probably last. *tr

    There is a pronounced vibration when the car is stopped and also when the rpm are at 1200 . It makes steering the car difficult and the ride feel unstable. The steering wheels shakes violently. Also when you shift the car or put in park the vehicle continues to roll slightly or does not react quickly to the changing of the gear. *tr
