Purchased the 2015 crv in february 2015. Approximately a week after making the purchase, the vehicle began extensively vibrating while stopped at a stop light or stop sign, with the vehicle engaged in the drive position and the brake pedal was pressed. I immediately noticed that the rpm's dropped below 600. The vibration is felt in both the drivers and passengers seats, but moreso in the drivers seat. It feels as…

I purchased a brand new 2015 honda cr-v the morning of february 28th, 2015.as soon as i drove it off the lot i noticed a vibration coming from the engine. Everyday it gets worse and it is now happening every time i drive it. I called my service advisor and told him about it and that i wanted to bring it in. He said don't bother to bring it in. It would be a waste of time. Told me that honda of america is aware of…

Just like all the other complaints for the 2015 honda cr-v, while sitting at a red light, idling, the car shakes so much that i feel like i'm getting massaged. I have always loved hondas and this is ridiculous for a brand new honda. I have older vehicles than this and it runs smoother. My honda dealer states they contacted honda and they are aware of this issue but nothing has been done yet! *tr

I pulled over to the shoulder and put…

After ten days of owning this car today is the first time that experienced engine vibration at idle while at a stop light. The vibration is felt through the cabin and the driver seat. This is totally unacceptable. The engine vibration is noticed around 550 600 rpm. If the ac is turned on the rpm increase and the vibration goes away. Switching the ac off the rpm drop to around 550 600 and the vibration return. I hope…

I purchased this vehicle in the end of january and it was in the shop for nearly 2 weeks. The reason was for the vibrating that the vehicle was doing. The people at the shop took another cr-v out and drove it and told me that it was doing the same thing. Now i ask you, is this the solution to the problem? This is the second cr-v i have purchased and if i could buy my first one back i would. That is just how fed up i…

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…

If i sit idle at a stop sign or traffic light for sometime the vibration becomes so annoying i need to shut the vehicle off. The other issue is between 1000 and 2000 rpm and between 20 mph and 30 mph there is a significant vibration which makes me feel very uneasy that the car is shifting properly and that it is safe to take…

Brand new vehicle on the third trip from home. The hesitation/vibration problem is noticeable (intermittent shuddering as if a wheel is out of alignment and/or the vehicle has just hit a patch of black ice, but related to the newly designed crv transmission, a problem common to all crv 2015 that does not yet have a fix) but what really stunned me was a sudden extremely high rev when going down a small hill. I was…

My 2015 honda crv touring had surged during initial start the past few days. I thought my foot hit both brake and accelerator during start up. It happened again today. I put the car in reverse and backed out of the garage when the surging stopped. I shut the car down and waited for my spouse to arrive. When i started the car again it surged to 4000 rpm then stopped. I shut the car down wondering what was going on. I…

My brand new 2015 honda cr-v is experiencing strong vibrations both in idle or in drive. I can feel the vibrations in drive seat,steering wheel, gas paddle. I can even see the shaking of passenger-seat back when it is idle. I am afraid such high frequency vibration will loosen screws, break parts and result in safety issue. Honda needs to investigate and provide a solution. Please help. Regards. *tr

I can feel the vibrations in my seat as i am in idle, but it is most noticeable when the passenger seat is empty as it shakes aggressively from the vibrations.

Brand new honda crv touring 2015. Passenger and driver seat is getting vibration when stop at d position. Rpm is way to low (500-550). Bring the car to honda dealer and they're confirmed, but not sure how to fix it. Called honda customer service, open the case. Week later, the case manager said the car is normal operation. No fix. This is not acceptable. *tr

Hello, i bought 2015 honda cr-v lx on 12/30/2014, and on the next day, i noted the whole car vibrates whenever idling in drive, at 600 rpm. This happens every time i stop at the red lights. So, on 1/12/2015, i took it to honda cars of mckinney, tx, and they said the strange explanation; "when compared to other manufacturer's cars, it does vibrate more. But, when compared to other 2015 cr-vs, they all vibrate. So,…

Test drove ten (10) 2015 crvs ( lx, ex and exls) and they all vibrate when in drive mode and one's foot on the brake as when stopped in traffic or waiting at a traffic light. ( fan, ac must be off) when rpm increases due to engine load on the alternator ( turning fan on, ac , etc) and the rpm increases the issue goes away. Asked the service manager if the idle rpm could be increased to resolve the issue, however…
