CR-V Passenger Seat Vibration

I just purchased a CR-V EX model yesterday. After I got the CR-V from the dealer, I immediately found that the passenger seat vibrated at idle with in D drive position when air condition is off. You cannot find this in your test driving since the dealer occupied the passenger during the test drive. Do all 2015 CR-V have this passenger problem? This is exactly showed in the following by other https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR-YQAJRRB8&noredirect=1 In the ABS 7, Honda spokesman said that Honda is aware of the situation and is researching whether a meaningful fix can be forthcoming. He expects one this year.

Honda company is disregarding the issue of the Honda cr-v vibration. It is been 7 months after some many vibrating trips to the Honda dealer to fix it and no solution. I am discouraged, disappointed, and unsatisfied with them . They trick people to buy this garbage with out letting them know that there is an issue. I am alerting those buyer don't be a victim like me. NEVER MORE BUSINESS WITH YOU HONDA FULL OF HYPOCRISY

Transmission Failure

MP, 12/30/2015
2015 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
23 of 26 people found this review helpful

I purchases this vehicle in August of 2015. I put roughly 3,300 miles on it. While driving it on December 12 the transmission failed and I was stuck on the side of the Hwy waiting 4 hours for a tow truck. The dealer replaced the transmission and I was able to pick up my vehicle yesterday December 29th. On the way home I noticed a couple odd sounds while driving at highway speeds (55-60 mph). I now have about 3,400 miles on the car so it will be interesting to see if the transmission simply needs a break in period or if I will experience this trouble again. I love everything else about the vehicle, I am just hoping that it will be reliable from this point forward.

The vibrations are real

I bought a 2015 Honda CRV Touring in December of 2014. I noticed the vibrations shortly after buying the car. I have 12K miles on the car now. The vibrations have gradually become worse, and I'm getting extremely annoyed by them. It's not only at idle when the vibrations occur. It's also at any speed while accelerating gradually. The whole car shudders, the vibrations resonate through the entire car, and my entire body. They seem to get very bad at highway speeds (70+ mph). It's to the point where I dread driving this car, and I dread pressing the gas pedal at all. It's by far the worst driving experience I've ever had, especially for a new car (that I paid well over 30K for). I have finally had enough, so I'm going to start voicing my frustration. If I could get a refund on this car, I would in a heartbeat. I'm hoping Honda finds a solution, but I'm certainly not holding my breath on that. I have debated posting this, because I know all these vibration complaints will kill the resale of 2015 CRV's. So I may be stuck with this lemon for a while, unless I want to take a huge monetary loss on a resale. If Honda can't come up with a fix, or compensate the CRV owners in some way, this will be my last Honda ever. I should note, if not for the vibrations, I would be mostly happy with the car. Since I'm here, I'll make a few other comments on the car. I don't like the low beam headlights. They have a very sharp cut-off line on top. It makes if very difficult to see on rural roads, especially those that are curvy and hilly. On some hills/curves, you can only see 20 yards ahead. I don't think this is an issue specific to CRV's though. Other Hondas, and other makes of cars, also have this sharp cut-off line. The Collision Mitigation System (CMS). This is the system that (supposedly) detects a potentially collision, and will warn the driver via an audible warning, light breaking, or heavy breaking. I was driving to work one day, going around a curve to the right on a two lane highway, with traffic coming the other way. Out of nowhere, my CRV beeped, and applied light breaking. It scared the crap out of me. The CMS radar erroneously detected a potential collision, because of the angle of the curve I'm sure. If I was on icy roads, this could have sent my car out of control. I was tempted to disable the CMS system (you do have that option via a push-button on the dashboard). I have not disabled it yet, but if this happens again, I will seriously consider it.

Please read this review before you buy this car.

I bought my CRV in May after doing a lot of research. Unfortunately, I did not come across the information regarding the CRV vibrating when the car is idle. Not only do I experience this issue with my car, but the vibration is actually getting worse, and it is very uncomfortable. Additionally, my brand new car also has a very loud rattle in the dashboard area. I will be bringing my car into the local Honda dealership to see how these problems can be resolved. Even if these issues are resolved, I predict that I will never buy another Honda vehicle. In summary, don't let the attractive aspects of this car (safety features, overall design) fool you, because the problems that go along with this car are not worth the price.
