Unfixable Vibrations

I've had my 2015 CRV ex-L for 8 months, 7000 miles. I'm ready to drive it into a bottomless pit. The vibration issue mentioned here is Unfixable. I've had all 3 of the potential "fixes" performed and there is no discernible improvement. At this point the only acceptable fix would be getting rid of it. Steer clear of this model. UPDATE: 3 years and 36000 miles later, still vibrating at idle. It idles at 600rpm and shutters because that’s just too low. Shakes the whole vehicle. What a disaster and disappointment from Honda. Also the entertainment system is lacking. The speakers are weak (very weak bass), the radio buttons are tiny as can be ( like from a cheesy ‘80s tape deck), and layout and design counterintuitive. Total fail. Also TPMS is faulty, just like in our Honda Fit. Warning light always comes on erroneously, and never wants to go off. Back to the drawing board again, Honda.

Vibration Makes You Sick

We bought our 2015 CRV wanting to keep it for a longtime, but with the vibration issues it doesn't look like thats going to happen. I can't believe that Honda would allow this vehicle to be sold without a notice to the consumer. If they disclosed the vibration issue it wouldn't be the #1 selling SUV. Honda really ruined the brand with me. I have owned 4 Accords, 2 Pilots, we just bought my daughter a HRV and now this piece of junk CRV. This is the last Honda I will buy.

Omg, I thought I was going crazy until I read the reviews. My car and passenger seat vibrate, I was told this was normal. Drive the car and it feels like I am stuck in cruise control. Car engine vibrates violently on first start up, brought back to deal and they told me and I quote"operating as designed". I thought bc I was a female they were giving me this crap, they are but reading these reviews the guys got the same story. Don't waste your money. Car is 9 months old and I'll be trading it in for a Guinean or Toyota. My Santa re was 8 yrs old and had182,000 Plus miles,no one issue.

I have a honda CR-V 2015 only 3000 miles drive. I felt my brand new car shaken a lot. When I visited dealership, one answer there is normal. How can it be? Brand new car vibration was like 20 years old car. I am very disappointed. I will never buy honda car at all.

2015 CR-V AWD Touring Potential Death Trap!

My (top-of-the-line) 2015 CR-V which I purchase on July 22, 2015 has an engine that is malfunctioning. It frequently and unexpectedly fails to accelerate when the accelerator is depressed. In fact, the vehicle stalls/slows down during these occurrences. Getting through intersections and merging with traffic can get real exciting. These failures have been witnessed by as many as three licensed drivers. A Honda dealership has done two diagnostic test and driving test and can not replicate the condition. The dealership and American Honda Motors express they can not repair a vehicle if they cannot identify the problem. My question is if their technician is riding in the car and the acceleration fails how will they identify the cause especially when their diagnostic equipment does not identify the failure(s). At this time, both the dealership and American Honda Motors tells me there is nothing they can do for the malfunctioning car they made. This leaves me with a $40,000 piece of junk (in my opinion). A car for which I am paying over $40,000 and it is unsafe to drive.
