After turning on the heated driver's seat switch, I began to smell burnt plastic. Didn't expect that turning on the heated seat might start a fire. This occurred while driving.

Seats have severe vibration at idle. Most pronounced after warming up, or, highway drive. (that's why test drives don't show it!). also, door armrests vibrate. Most intolerable; makes one nauseated. Also, gas mixed in with oil! gas fume smells noted in cabin while driving.

2016 Honda CRV vehicle shakes/vibrates when idle. Vibration is felt in steering wheel, seats, floor board on both passenger and driver side. Improvement when you move the vehicle to drive, but annoying.

The 12 position electric drivers seat adjust by it self. This vehicle does not have driver 1 or 2 memory seats. After the driver seat is adjusted the car is driven and parked. Upon returning to the vehicle the back of the drivers seat will be in a different position than it was when I exited the vehicle. This is intermittent issue and happens maybe every 3 or 4th time in the past year. On two separate occasions after entering the vehicle and starting the vehicle, the back of the drivers seat will adjust forward pushing the driver forward towards the steering wheel. This is a concern especially if it were to happen while driving down the highway.

While idle at traffic light, front two seats shake quite a bit to make us nervous. But when turn headlight on, that shake reduced by 80%. but one headlight turned off/daytime, its shakes again after once break applied

After spending 20 minutes driving I get numbing pain in both legs. I don't have issues sitting on anything else or other cars. I have visited a chiropractor numerous times and he doesn't see anything misaligned in my back. I have tried various pillows to help aliviate the pain with no success. My wife usually has to drive for me.

The inside of my 2016 CR-V smells like gas, my former 2015 had the same problem. The dealership has no clue what is wrong, they told me to switch brand of gas, it did nothing. Also the seats vibrate while idling, again the dealership doesn't know what to do.

Upon driving the vehicle 30 - 40 miles I get leg cramps and my toes get numb. I encountered this when I drove the vehicle home from the dealer. I did not encounter the problem on the test drive as it was relatively short. I tried several seat positions to re-leave the pain to no avail(note this is a leather power seat with several adjustment positions). I researched the web for this problem and found it to be pervasive. I hate the vehicle and want to return it. It is causing sever leg and back problems. Honda should be fixing this problem. Note I talked with my local mechanic who previously worked for Honda and he agreed this is a serious defect / design problem that is not on other similar SUV vehicles (I.e. the seat cannot be adjusted sloping downward to relieve blood circulation problems in the legs above the knees).
