In June of 2015, I purchased my 2015 CR-V from J.P. thibodeaux in new iberia, la. In August, I brought my vehicle to the dealership due to excessive vibration at idle. Honda performed 2 manufacturer updates but my vehicle still vibrates. When I am at a red light on the highway, my vehicle vibrates excessively which is a safety concern. It is a distraction when an emergency vehicle approaches from behind at an intersection. The excessive vibration distracts me and it is a safety concern as a consumer. After several repair attempts, my vehicle still vibrates. The vibration is excessive and american Honda states that it is a characteristic of the new 2015 earth dream engine. As of this date, american Honda has no fix and stated that the company cannot fix the vibration due to epa regulations.

Honda CR-V 2015 vibration problem. I am still facing the vibration at idle issue even after the software update and repair performed by the Honda dealer which is intended to solve the problem.it is now more noticeable than before. The dealer says there is nothing they can do. American Honda says that it's dealers responsibility. The vibration is very distracting and nauseating.

Car has been stalling in motion (especially in areas of higher speed) and the car has been not starting up. We have been on the interstates when the car has gone from 60 mph to stop all at once...almost killing us. In regards to the start up issue, the lights come on but the engine does not. The battery was just replaced and the dealership will not fix these safety issues. In fact, the managing partner tells his staff to ignore our communication attempts and will not return our calls himself. The service manager refused to fix anything because he says there is nothing wrong with the car after driving it around the dealership parking lot once. Honda corporate will not fix any issues either. This car is a lemon and has been since we bought it in January 2015. These stalling and startup issues have specifically been going on since January 5, 2017.

Last year we leased a new 2015 Honda CRV expecting the same quality experience of our previous cars. The vibration issue that everyone is reporting was noticeable the first day of driving the car and it is horrible, but it is also the least of my worries at the moment. I had the frightening experience of pulling into a parking space at a very low speed, braking, and the car suddenly going forward several months ago. I ran over a sign and hit a coworkers car while trying to stop the car (as I circled to the left). The car finally stopped when I lifted my foot off the brake and braked again. Had the car immediately towed to the Honda dealership where I got it. Almost a month later the car was returned to me and Honda reported they allegedly found nothing wrong. I had to assume they were right and it must have been something I did wrong because I had no proof otherwise. Reluctantly I started driving the car again. Well this past week my daughter was driving the car in very slow traffic on a back road and the same thing happened to her. She stopped the car and the car proceeded to go forward even though her foot was fully on the brake. This time she hit the trailer hitch of the large car in front of her in line. We called american Honda again and stated we do not want this car any longer. We would even be willing to trade it for another model and year. We have been told that unless we have "proof" that this is happening, there is nothing they are willing to do. This is completely unacceptable to us! what if the next time this happens, the driver is stopped for pedestrians in a cross walk and the car lurches ahead and hits and seriously injures or kills a pedestrian?? currently feeling betrayed by the brand that we have stood by for years, because they are unwilling to remove a potentially unsafe car from the streets.

This is my fault for assuming and not reading vehicle invoice or asking sales person, but for what paid and model and area we live in, I feel this option should have been standard. No heated outside mirrors. Maybe because it has the feature that can see outside right side from inside of car on console, remotely"?? but this area gets snow and ice in the winter, and, no heated mirrors will be something to get used to; maybe a safety issue??" double check so don't miss what want, I guess.

This car vibrates at low idle. The vibration begins to get worse as the car warms up. Stopping at lights while driving through town is embarrassing, especially when I have other people in the car with me. I usually switch the gear into neutral to avoid the shaking but I'm afraid I'll get rear-ended one day if I fail to start driving fast enough

I was pulling into a parking space on an embankment at approximately 2 mph, when I applied the brake to stop the car, the car instead of stopping, accelerated over a 2 foot wall onto a two foor patch of grass and over the edge of a 3.5 to 4 foot embankment onto a sidewalk and then a city street. As I turned the car to the right, away from the road, while continuing to keep my foot on the brake, it came to a stop. I was lucky that I didn't get killed or kill someone
