I own a 2015 CRV EX AWD. Today makes the 4th time I've had the car in for the vibration problem. Each time they do something different. My complaint is only for what Honda describes as Mode 1 (vibration when stopped, at idle). Today the dealer did an ECM flash to update the software from a different version they just flashed a couple of months ago and added some dampener to the rear hatch. The documentation said it was for Mode 2 vibration problem. In any case, it hasn't totally resolved the problem. Although the initial fix for the Mode 1 fix did help a lot to reduce the vibration when stopped, the vibration is still there, albeit not nearly as bad as before the official fix. That's why I took it in again today. Once the engine is completely warmed up and you don't have any accessories on like the fan or headlights, once you stop the vehicle while in drive and you keep your foot on the brake, the RPM's drop to around 600 and the vibration starts again (easily seen by the passenger headrest shaking). You can easily test it by engaging the parking brake while the car is in drive and taking your foot off brake, the RPM's will increase a bit and the vibration will go away. Place your foot on the brake again and watch the RPM's drop to around 600 or so and the vibrations will start (make sure you're in a safe place before you try this). If you turn on the blower fan past midway or turn the headlights on, then the RPM's don't drop when you stop. In any case, since the mods were done, I've dropped about 1-2 MPG. Needless to say, I'm disappointed.
