Honda acknowledges possible 2015 CR-V engine vibration

I don't undersstand how this seems so minor in some cars and others have enormous vibration. Mine is awful ad extremely uncomfortable. I can feel the buzz inside my body later after I am out of the car..I am feeling some other symptoms along with the stress that may be from this car. I have discovered that when idling with foot on break, such as at a stop light, it goes crazy but it helps to turn up the AC all the way..now I have the loud blowing sound and the freezing to go through.. I think Honda is taking this as though it is not a problem. Are you kidding me? It's a big deal to me because it isn't a mild vibration and I spend hours in my car.. I was not told about this until the day after I bought the car. Disclosue is a huge issue with anything, lies to sell something is or should be illegal. I believe there will be many problems down the road, after the warrenty has worn off, then what? A lot of money to fix things that have been shaken loose.. Not sure about the rest of you but I feel shafted and I'm going to talk with a lawyer to see what our options are. This is being played as "nothing" by Honda..it's an act to not stir things up but it's a bad deal and they need to come forth and take care of this situation now! If they can't fix it, then replace with another new vehicle, no I do not want a used one! They're afraid they are going to lose money on this? They have made a fortune off of us, so come fourh Honda and do the right thing... If anyone knows anything about class action lawsuits, it may be helpful for the rest of us to know as much as we can...
If you live near Indianapolis, don't shop at Honda of Fishers until they make this right!

I don’t own a 2015 CVR, but I do own a 2014 Honda Accord EX with the same Earth Dreams engine. I also don’t have the CVT transmission – so my point is just that my manual tranny \ Earth Dreams combination drives wonderfully. The engine has tremendous power for a 2.4 liter and provides outstanding fuel economy at an actual achieved of over 31 mpg. I have put nearly 35,000 miles on the car in just 19 months and couldn’t be happier.

So clearly the engine is not the concern here, but some combination of low idle speed, CVT transmission, AWD system, etc. But still I expect these CRV’s will see the long service and high mileage that Honda is known for.

That said, Honda should be able to set the system up better, even if they give up one MPG or so.

I really appreciate this board. I was about to buy a new 2015 CRV Touring from a Honda Dealership here in Raleigh but after seeing all the MANY complaints here and on other boards I am definitely not going to do that. A few years back I had a Honda Van that had brake noises and Honda never owned up to that but this seems a bigger deal. And despite the fact they have acknowledged the issue, clearly there is an issue here that I would rather not deal with. I wish you all the best of luck. Maybe time to consider a Subaru?

Ok here is the lowdown. I took my 2015 CRV back the first week, service manager said the vibration was a normal characteristic of the vehicle. After driving a few weeks it was bothering me and I took it back to honda, they double checked and contacted Honda, same thing, a characteristic. Filed a case with CAMVAP (Canadian auto manufacturer vehicle arbitration plan). Get a call from engineer at Honda, now they are aware of the issue and are working on "countermeasures" to lessen the vibration. Had 2 "countermeasures" installed but did nothing. Camvap agreed that all 2015 CRVs have this characteristic so they cannot do anything with my claim. So DO NOT BUY A 2015 CRV. They are a piece of crap.

Leased a 2015 crv 3 weeks ago. I was so happy with my new suv until today. I was at the passenger seat and when we stop at the stop sign my seat started to vibrate really bad.
I took it for a ride and it keeps doing it. also it vibrates when its parked. I am do disappointed. I love everything else but I don't think that Honda will fix it if they did not do it by now..

Just bought a 2015 CR-V and am getting some vibration at idle, but more pronounced vibration shacking between 60 - 70 miles / hour. Brought it to the service department the day after the purchase thinking that it may have been a wheel balance / alignment issue. The mechanic test drove it and confirmed the condition. The service manager indicated that there was a service bulletin recommending a software update. This was done, but with no improvement (the same mechanic conducted another test drive). Honda "Technical Service" was called and the condition was acknowledged as an issue with the CVT which Honda has been investigating. Honda claims that there are no safety or equipment issues to be concerned about. I purchased the car based on the reputation of the manufacturer, but am left with an expensive massage chair that, apparently, can't be repaired. This is completely unacceptable and, had I known, I would have certainly gone with a competitor's product. There will be no more Honda's in our future!

very unhappy with Honda. Only have the car a month and I too have the same vibration. I bought the 2015 crv because Honda did nothing but brag about how this was the best small crv on the road. I see most of these comments were made back in May of 2015. According to Honda there was already supposed to be a fix. There had better be one, I didn't put out $27,000 for nothing. I will never buy another Honda again if there isn't a fix and hopefully soon My husband owns a Subaru, no vibration, no problems

Is it true that Honda is waiting on governent approval to fix the vibration issue? I was told that at my dealership 3 days ago.

my 2012 Honda CR-V EX-L vibrates when it shifts from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. I have been doing some research for this problem and the fix was a Torque converter replacement. $2000 job. The worst part is the 300 pages of complaints for the same/ similar problem going back to year 2011-2015 . on top of that is the battery dies quickly with little use. leave a door open to long and the car will not start. I installed a group 24 battery and that problem was cured. I have been a Honda owner since 1993 now I have lost hope in Honda as a quality vehicle . they have cut corners to save money but, still charge full price.

I wish I had my 04 CRV back it was as smooth as glass compared to this paint shaker. It wasn't as noticeable at first but with 9,000+ miles on it now it's getting worse not only at idle but at normal road speeds. Having just gotten home from a 500 mile trip the next stop will be the dealer today. Slight has become persistent and very noticeable. How is it they TEST these vehicles and never noticed this before?

I purchased my CRV 3 months ago and noticed a slight vibration . Placing the truck in neutral or turning the lights will stop the vibration. Honda needs to find a solution to this intermittent problem.

I just purchased a Honda CRV with the leather trim and I am also have the vibration issue. It occurs when Idleing, at 35 miles an hour and at 65 miles an hour. I purchased the car three weeks ago and I want to return it as it is unbearable to drive ( I am getting Headaches). I have been buying new Hondas since 1994 and have never had an issue with any other cars. I am a Loyal Honda customer and I hope the Honda will look at this and provide an immediate resolution. We basically have a new car that is un-driveable.

2015 Accord LX
Too much vibration stopped and in gear. OK when in park and made worse when a/c is on. Also when coasting from 30 mpg the car loses 6 mph every 5 seconds. There is a point where it lurches as it slows down. It even loses speed coasting on the down slope of a bridge. I do like the handling except for a rough ride. I bumps over bumps like a '84 Chevette. Do not by if you like a quiet, comfortable riding car

We bought our 2015 one year ago in december. I did not notice the vibration while test driving. Soon after purchase though it became more obvious and annoying……especial for my wife. It is especially embarrassing with guests riding. I feel like we made a bad purchase but otherwise we love the car….I assumed that it was the CTV transmission and that that was just the nature of the beast. I try to ignore it because it is annoying. I do expect mored from Honda……If there was a lawsuit I would sign up in a minute. I hope a fix will soon be coming. Also I did bring the issue up with a service manager at first oil change……he acted like there was nothing to it….

A question for Torquenews : are you going to rest the 2016 Honfa CRV to determine if the 2015 vibration problem has been eliminated with this new model?

NO, if fact Honda is about to loose a 35 year buyer / owner. My last trip in with the CRV they wouldn't document I'd been there and a email to the salesman went unanswered. I left GM long ago and I can leave Honda as well, when I leave after being taken I don't go back.

I have a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. I boarded with the intention of having a very high quality car since everyone seems to think Honda is so dependable. Within three years I had to replace the backseat pools because they would often break and raise up with the legs flopping, I had to change out my air conditioner and my catalytic converter, all would then 3 years. My wife bought a new 2006 Subaru Tribeca and had it for 10 years and it was only in the shop one time. And had the same problems. Now I'm getting ready to get rid of my Honda Ridgeline and kissing Honda goodbye. I'm buying a 2016 Subaru Outback and I just bought my wife a brand new 2015 Nissan Murano. I drove the Honda CRV 2015 and also felt the vibration. I will say and give them credit, it had plenty of power and it drove exceptionally well. But I would never buy a car that had a vibration like that regardless of whether it was nominal or major.

I bought my HONDA -CRV - 2015 on last May. I am also facing the same issue. Any suggestion ?

Like so many of you with 2015 Honda CR-Vs, my CR-V does the same thing(vibrations) in fact if no one is in the passenger seat it too vibrates as well as the windows(opened a crack). Taking back to dealer only enhanced my anger by indicating they know of the problem but Mother Honda hasn't found a fix. We also have a 2013 Accord with the same engine and CVT with no vibrations. Simple harmonic motion which is often given as a cause would leave me to believe the fix is in the engine and CVT mounts.

My 2015 Honda CRV vibrates a lot now while driving. I was told by Honda it is the
engine and transmission vibrating. The fix now is a software update and a tailgate
damper replacement. My question, how will a tailgate damper cure an engine and
transmission vibration? This is the 3rd CRV I have bought. I loved the other 2 this
one is a big let down.
