Vehicle stopped/not starting out of no reason

I don't know whether other 2015 CRV owners are facing similar issue or not. My vehicle once stopped all of a sudden for no reason while I was driving on highway. All the maintenance indicators of my car like 'Low Engine Oil Pressure', 'Vehicle Stability', 'Tire pressure', 'Battery' etc got switched on and my vehicle came to stop. After several attempts to start it, it finally started after 40-45 minutes. Honda on-road support told that it would take around an hour to reach me, even though I was within the city limits. The same issue occurred when once I was starting the car. The car stopped within a few seconds of my starting it. After several attempts to start it, it finally started after 20-25 minutes. This happened twice for my 8 months old car.

Vibrations - Honda reliability is dead

5000 miles on the car and Mode 1 Vibration is evident even at cooler temps. Sometimes in reveres the car shudders violently making you think its going to stall. This is a major concern when backing up around sidewalks or busy parking lots as you lose concentration. Starting to get mode 2 vibration also. The techs at Honda are aware and could care less. Guess only recourse it to keep taking it in and the try to fight them with lemon law. The navigation and the whole setup is counterintuitive, someone really has to clean up the logic here. The materials on the doors are very cheap and scuff up easily. Sitting in stop and go traffic and you feel as if you're in an old broken down manual car with a bad engine and trans. Long and probably last time new Honda buyer. I hope Honda gets with it and fixes the issues. Update: Ended up getting all 3 vibration fixes but it didnt help. Transmission was whining and surging. Started to get highway vibration. Noticed the navigation constantly couldn't find roads. Power steering started cutting out at low speeds in parking lots. Driving around the steering wasnt direct. Honda would never admit any wrong doing. Traded it in. Honda has really cut corners and their reliability has dropped. Sorry to say I'm done with any new Hondas.

Vibration

We have just under a thousand miles and just noticed the vibrations well stopped, RPMs go up and down, while down car vibrates. Really surprised to see how many reviews with the same problem. I haven't had the car back to dealer yet but when I do, they will hear about it. If they knew this problem existed before I bought the car I should have been informed of the fact. The dealer knows of the problem, they have no cure at this time, this is the only problem we have with the car after 6000 miles Update: We've had the car over a year now. Vibration is still there but not really noticeable any more, used to I guess. Car has been trouble free so far, has unbelievable power for a little 4 cyl. Doesn't get the advertised MPG's. Over all it's a comfortable car and we are so far happy with it

New Car Disappointment

Only have had CR-V two weeks. Very unhappy with the rough idling and vibration when sitting at a red light or any time I have to slow down or stop in traffic. Purchasing this car was a huge mistake! Do not buy a 2015 Honda CR-V. You will be unhappy with it! Am planning to file Lemon Law if Honda Corporation does not come up with a solution quickly.

Great Car, Horrible Vibration

I checked out this car last night at a local dealership and loved everything about it before I test drove it. However, I was totally turned off by the vibration that I read in other reviews. I can certainly confirm that the vibration from the CVT is certainly there. I felt it in the seats, steering wheel, and my wife even felt the vibration by simply touching the center console. Please stay away from this 2015 model until Honda gets their act together and fixes this issue.
