Vibration issues that passengers notice

I, like many others, have major issues with vibrations (mostly at idle). I was told by my dealership that I "was the only one" that complained of this. However, I went online and see it is indeed a problem with the 2015s in general, not my vehicle. I hope Honda does a recall soon to fix this or I will never buy a Honda again (and neither will my family and friends who experienced the vibrations in my car). In addition, I drive the highway and accelerate slowly with the eco button on, and can't get above 25.7 mpg on the highway.
After 3 years and 3 Weeks - I have had enough

I purchased this car 12/31/2014. I thought I was making a good decision even though my 2012 had a leaking roof. I will say my experience with the car and Honda has led me to not buy another car from them again (which sucks - their cars are usually great!). Within 6 months of buying the car, the car would make a creaking/groaning noise when I would make turns at low speeds under 45 MPH. Dealer said they could not hear it. 11 month into owning this car - the vibration issue began to occur. As many people have commented on - the maximum vibration occurs when you are stopped at a light in D with your foot on the brake. It is so noticeable that my passengers have said things about. There has been times I can be at a light and the vibrations radiate up my leg. The passenger seat will shake so much you can see the headrest moving. In November 2015, I had the TSB work done for the vibrations but honestly it still occurred. By March 2017, I was basically in the dealership for 6 weeks straight trying to get the creaking noise fixed. I had video after video of it. They replaced the steering wheel, a rear strut (why?), welded some frame spots, and it never went away. I ended up going to arbitration with Honda - which honestly is not so fair when Honda pays for the program, chooses the arbitrator, and chooses the dealership you bought it from/had it serviced from as the spot of the hearing. I lost the case but filed a suit in Georgia state court (must file in the county where the company is registered and in Georgia it is Glynn County). Anyways I won a settlement and took the check and vowed to not buy another one. Had the vibration and creaking issues not occurred I would have kept this car for a long long long time. The gas mileage was fantastic I could easily average in the 30's going to and from work. The original brakes and tires were still in great shape after I traded it in at 49K. The cargo space is pretty decent. I will say the infotainment is a little lacking - but most Honda's are not the most up to date in that department. Maintenance was pretty much oil changes and tire rotations. The battery died just shy of the 3 year mark, which was a little disappointing. The headlights have always looked good to and I liked the LED strip in them. The engine performance was a little weak but I would expect that if I am getting 30+ MPG, it would be a little more tame than other motors out there. I did like that there is a huge network of Honda dealerships so you could shop around service. Most dealerships tried to take advantage of me trying to push services that were not required by the maintenance minder. I would recommend doing your research before setting foot into them. While I did have some good moments in the car, I am glad it will be someone else's problem now!

I brought my crv to service last 3/15/16 to c/o about the vibration I feel when my car is in idle. The service checked it and fixed the problem,. when I drive my car home I noticed a big difference in the mileage. I lost 3miles /gallon. Honda fixd the problem and gave me another problem. I bought crv for the mileage they promised. I called the dealership and still waiting for any solution they can give me. Honda you suck!

Danger awaits; unexpected acceleration

We bought our eighth -- and last -- new Honda in March 2015. We drove the CRV-EX AWD just 1,600 miles before trading it for a 2015 RAV4 because we experienced unexpected acceleration on several occasions and received no help from Honda. I was stunned. I couldn't believe how a longtime loyal Honda owner could be treated so poorly by Airport Honda in Tennessee and American Honda. I wanted American Honda to buy it back and told the representative that I would gladly pay for the mileage. Here's what happened: I took the car to Airport Honda on Aug. 26 so they could check it out. Since the problem was intermittent, I halfway expected that they wouldn't find a problem, especially given the way they treated me upon arrival. Despite showing them Internet reports of unexpected acceleration in CR-Vs, they said that they had never heard of such a problem. I explained that there's no way I would make this up since it caused me a lot of trouble taking off work and driving 40 miles (round trip) so they could see if they could "replicate" (wink, wink) the problem. The best I could get was a car that functioned properly. After keeping the car for two days, of course they told me the car was fine. So when it became obvious that the service department was of no use, I tried to trade the car for either a 2016 Pilot or another CR-V, although that prospect scared me somewhat because I didn't know if I could trust another CR-V. They said they'd call me with a trade figure, but they never did as they obviously didn't want the absolutely pristine gray CR-V with the added $500 options of a hood deflector, mud flaps and a sunroof visor -- all genuine Honda parts installed by Airport Honda. I called them back and spoke to Bruce Wayne (no kidding), and he wouldn't provide a trade figure many hours after he said they'd have those numbers in a few minutes. In the end, I lost several thousand dollars and all respect I had for American Honda and Airport Honda. Our RAV4 with a conventional six-speed transmission is rock solid and the dealer, Fox Toyota, is perhaps the most honest and best in America. Reports of Honda's decline certainly don't seem to be exaggerated based on my experience. Oh, and I forgot to mention how the CR-V's engine sent vibrations through the cabin with the car in drive and the brake pedal depressed. Airport Honda acknowledged that problem but said there isn't a fix at this time. Anyway, I just hope no one gets killed in a CR-V when it takes off. Many months later, nothing has changed. Honda is an arrogant embarrassment.

Horrible vibration and heater

The vibration is ridiculous. I had two fixes and still have vibration. The amount of time it takes for the cabin to get warm is unacceptable. I live in NE and if it wasn't for the heated seats I'd freeze to death. I drive both city and highway and I haven't even achieved the listed city mpg. This will be the last time we buy a Honda.
