The Vibration problem is Real

Just spent close to 30,000 dollars on my first brand new car and one day into owning it noticed the vibration problem at idle. I am so disappointed and feel Honda and the dealerships are scamming consumers. They don't yet have a fix and are not telling potential buyers about this problem. I would have definitely bought a different car had I read the consumer reviews (not the biased corporate reviews) prior to purchasing. Having owned a reliable and smooth operating Accord for 13 years, I trusted the brand and the dealership. A Honda loyalist no more. Major disappointment.

Do your research - search 2015 CRV vibration problems! It is terrible! When you are in drive and stopped in traffic or at a stoplight, the front seats vibrate so badly it is terrible. This is an issue Honda knows about and yet they keep selling these. The dealers "seem" to be in the dark because they don't want you to know. Do yourself a favor and if you still want one of these cars, take it on a good long test drive so it warms up. This starts once it is warm because the rpms drop so low. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

The vibrations at a stop while in gear with the brake in is just too much for me to ignore. Honda will tell you it has something to do with the engine and transmission combo... It simply isn't true. Fact 1 - If I am stopped, in drive, with the brake pushed in, the car idle drops and the car vibrates horribly. Fact 2 - If I am stopped, in drive, with the EMERGECY BRAKE on, and my foot off the brake, the vibration STOPS and the RPMs go up. I try to tell Honda this has something to do with the power brake system pulling power from the engine, but they won't hear it. Mark my words, they will figure it out someday, and the issue will be with the power brake system. Besides the vibration issue the engine is underpowered from a stop. I find myself dropping it into low to get moving sometimes. As far as negatives there are two others. First the plastic on the door jam and in the trunk is not of good quality the first time you step on it or slide something across it there will be scratches. My last complaint is with the Bluetooth. When playing songs or podcast the play and pause button on the screen works when they want to. When making phone calls the dial by name feature is terrible. Sometimes I would try to dial by name and it would just dial some random numbers. I just use my phone's dial by name feature which works perfectly now. My overall opinion is that I would not buy another Honda. Despite complaining about the vibration every time I brought it in for service and being assured that I would be called as soon as a fix was made I still have not been called by Honda. A couple of positive notes... when locking the doors with the key fob there is no horn sound. There is just a nonintrusive tone that sounds and even that can be turned off. Also, after 25 months of use I just got my first warning that my key fob battery was getting weak. The notice was displayed on the dash and was much appreciated since it would have been very inconvenient to have the battery die and find out the hard way.

Vibration Makes Me Crazy

I don't believe anyone who says their 2015 CRV doesn't vibrate. I've driven 6 of them now trying to find one that doesn't. They all do. Mine vibrates during acceleration at 1000 and 2000 RPMs, and also at the idle. It's very noticeable through the steering wheel and the seats. The dealer claims that no one else has complained but me. I don't believe them either. Supposedly they hadn't even heard about the video from Honda until I called it to their attention.

This is the tenth Honda we've owned, so you know we WERE loyal! Traded in a 2007 CR-V that we loved. Our 2015 CR-V was the most uncomfortable car we've ever owned or ridden in. Couldn't stand to be in it for a trip longer than 45 minutes. The seats were awful, and the front passenger legroom was terribly restricted compared to our 2007. It was so uncomfortable that we traded it in after nine months on a 2016 Ford Escape Titanium. We love the Escape! It's better in every way than the Honda: comfort, power, quiet, handling, technology. We haven't missed anything about our Honda once since the day we drove away from it.
