I blame myself for buying this vehicle. I noticed the vibration in idle but let the salesman explain it away to me. It is also at 30 mph, and at highway speeds....anytime it is at 2-3k RPM's vibration. You can put the transmission in neutral at idle and it goes away. I certainly have buyers remorse. There are some supposed fixes ranging from rubber vibration isolators to replacing the entire transmission. I don't have time for this crap. It is a fine car in the snow and it gets good mileage but I will not own it forever as I had planned. And it doesn't have adjustable intermittent wipers......cheap. 03/29/2021 It has been reliable but I'd hoped for better gas mileage.

Check for vibration at idle and at 1100-1300 RPM and with light acceleration. My EX AWD started a vibration at about 500 miles and is getting worse. The vibration now has an accompanying rumble up to 1800 RPM. I had taken it back but the FIX did not work. Service dept is aware of this and claims that Honda is working on a fix. Meantime I am getting more irritated with the car. I also have a 2013 Accord with the same engine and CVT with no vibrations. If it is simple harmonic motion then I suspect that engine and CVT mounts might be the culprit. Strangely if you turn on the a/c at idle the vibration stops but not at the higher RPMs. Vibration and sound reminds of how a standard transmission behaves when you are in too high a gear for the speed you are traveling. If Honda can find the FIX I will be very happy with car sans the infotainment system. Update on my CR-V. After 6 months and 4 visits I am pleased to say while not perfect it is so much better now that all the software changes including a new computer that I now feel I own a Honda like so many Hondas that I have owned before. However some of the parts of the "fix" eludes me. For example why the driver side headrest and the hatch struts had to be replaced is beyond me. Now with 29000 miles on it and approaching 3 year ownership vibrations still occurs after driving long distances at high speeds sometimes at idle vibration happens but disappears shortly after some mixed drivings. Infotainment is still a non intuitive headache. After 35000 miles the above is still true i.e. after high speed run vibration returns at idle but disappears after mixed drivings. Disdain for the infotainment is still the downfall the vehicle. 5000 more miles and I still hate the infotainment but I do love the side view camera. Still have the intermittent vibrations but not chronic. The side view camera is keeping me with this car since Honda dropped the feature(huge mistake). 44,000 miles with basically the same conditions i.e. Love the side view camera, hate the infotainment vibrations are present after long high speed driving but then disappear. Side camera keeping me in this car. Over 50,000 miles with my same complaints but more or less getting use to it. Reliability has been very good. Replaced tires and battery common for age and mileage of car. However Honda Service has conveniently started finding "problem" areas with recommendations that are not only expensive but are unnecessary after warranty ran out. Taking my CR-V to another shop found no problem areas. I guess the saying that service keeps dealership profitable is correct. Most areas are about the same. Still like the side view mirror camera and still hate infotainment system. Car still very good sans the infotainment system. Side mirror camera still a great help. Vibration still arises after freeway driving for an extended time but merits out number the main demerit. The car has been mainly trouble free. 63,500 miles still exhibits same vibration but so far the car has been trouble free. Still hate the infotainment set up but love the side mirror camera. Keeping car since new ones do not look much different. Not much of a fan of the CVT but gets good mileage consistently. Sticking with previous review. 70000+ miles car still has vibrations after high speed driving BUT since the car has been very reliable I have decided to keep the car since that annoyance is neutralized by other assets of the car. However, the infotainment system is still a huge black mark against the car. On the plus side is the sideview camera which is a great aide, good mpg, low maintenance cost and durability have been reasons for keeping the car. I might also add although the car is 10 years old the newer versions are not distinctive enough for me to upgrade my 2015 vehicle.

Overall a good car beside vibration issue. Good acceleration, good quality interior, good apearance. But vibration issue is annoying. It can make you sick if you have too many stops on your commute. I took my car to delership all they says it is characteristic of this vehicle and they dont thing anything wrong with it. Work done to fix issue last year but vibration issue apearing again. Dealership recognises issue but says no fix at this time.

So i bought my Honda CRV 2015 EX on December 1st. I was so excited, and first time I buy a new car. I didn't want to deal with headaches from used car, who knows what problems they have. When I test drive the CRV, I tried all the functions in the car, and they seems to be pretty good, I got a good deal on the price, and i bought it. However after i drive it everyday from home to work, and i live in New York. I have to deal with stop signs or traffic lights every couple blocks. The car just vibrates like crazy when i'm in D mode and brake pressed. The shake is pretty violent, and after i research everyone is having the same issue. Man i really wish i did my research first, now too late.
