Long time Honda owner and i finally decided to get my first SUV. Did my research, saved my Money. Naturally my pick was Honda CRV- I can't believe Honda built this car. It has bad vibrations when stopped and idling, it has bad engine/ transmission shuddering when I accelerate. Even at highway speeds it shudders at random intervals. This is a big problem. Spent almost $ 30,000 for this??? Honda responds " Vibrations are characteristic of the car". Strange, didn't see that description in the brochure at the dealership. Honda needs to acknowledge this problem, find a solution, and apologize to me and all those 2015 CRV Owners.
don't buy until they fix this massage chair

We very much like the new design and new features but the new cvt is the problem, hopes that they fill fix it quickly. Also they hiked the price.

Smooth powerful for the engine class. Love it. Not sure why others are experiencing vibration. Love the new style and design too. Quiet ride. Wish the horn was louder and a bit more padded on the doors for the elbows. After a year. Still lovin my CRV. Couple of improvements I'd like to see. Opening tailgate after raining causes water to accumulate and creates this water fall effect from the rear bumper. If your windows are open on the hwy and you use wipers with fluid some of the excess eventually comes into the driver window. A note about the ECO mode, it causes the acceleration to be dampened. It seems to try to conserve fuel by eliminating the jerkiness of people's feet on the accelerator, which causes rpms to fluctuate drastically. This mode reduces that fluctuation. However it hinders the acceleration of the vehicle. I used it for the first 3-4 months but I've turned it off since. I just am more mindful of my rpms. I would like a more useful tech. I bought the navigation app and cables. So not worth it. Navigation Apps on the iPhone 6+ are better, more accurate and have better interfaces. They need to upgrade to Apple CarPlay. The audio sounds tone better in clarity and tone when playing through the dock cable and not blue tooth. The Bluetooth is decent but the quality is so much better via cable into the CRV's USB port. If you're plugged in choose dock connector for your audio output from your iPhone. One big gripe of mine, while nominal, it was annoying. The steering wheel, the item you interact most in the car, just felt slippery barely any grip, the texture was unpleasant, and more like a sanded floor texture. They couldn't make it feel more like leather or some TPU product? Sheesh! Any fixed it by getting a nice steer wheel cover that has a tad of tack and actually matches the interior. Now it's the perfect feel. Oh the interior of the door panels flex too much for me. That should be padded and rigid. Fuel economy is wonderful. Usually 26 mpg per tank, with more hwy about 27-28 per tank, more city 25.5 mpg per tank.

I purchased the 2015 Honda CR-V EX AWD on July 2, 2015. Previously I had a 2010 CR-V EX so I had a very good means of comparison. Initially I was concerned regarding reviews/reports of excessive vibrations with the new CVT transmission. I can say categorically after 800+ miles that the 2015 CR-V with the CVT does not vibrate any more than my previous 2010 CR-V EX AWD did. The features and functions of the new 2015 EX model are very nice. First the acceleration is excellent. Fuel mileage has increased from 21-22 for the 2010 to 28.5+ for the 2015 model. The backup camera is a real plus. The radio controls take a bit to get used to, however considering I'm moving from the old analog radio with buttons to a touch screen it's very nice. Overall I believe Honda has produced an excellent vehicle that will more than meet my needs. 7/25/2017: Overall very pleased after 19,500 miles. Had 1 recall for the transmission to update software. My biggest complaint is the original tires were basically worn out at 19,000 miles. Honda should go back to using Michelin tires. 1/29/2019: During the past 5 months or so fuel mileage has plummeted from 27+ city to 15-19 city. Replaced the Air Filter and ran multiple tanks of gas with fuel injector cleaner and cleaned the Mass Airflow Sensor all without improvement. Discovered that the vehicle was not warming up properly. Lack of heat and gauge showing always cold. Investigation has shown either the Thermostat is faulty or something else is wrong. Recently replaced the Radiator Cap ($10 at Advanced Auto) to be sure the system maintains 16lbs pressure. Unbelievably the problem with taking forever to get up to temperature appears to have been solved or at least significantly improved. Now I have to verify the fuel mileage has improved. 8/12/2019: The issue with the fuel mileage has never fully recovered. Replacement of the thermostat did fix the warm up problem. However the mileage around town has never recovered past 24 mpg. Prior the thermostat issue the CRV would average 27+. Overall it is a very good vehicle. However Honda should fix things that are under warranty.

2015 CRV has left my wife stranded twice with less than 60000 miles. Battery gave no warning, died completely at 30000 miles. Due to remote location, was forced to get nearest available battery, so I could not get the remaining warranty on the Honda battery. Transmission sensor module failed and transmission would not move at 62000 miles. Drive train immediately locked up as a safety standard, to prevent driver from destroying transmission. When I bought the car new, the salesman told me that the tires only last from 30000 to 40000 miles. Salesman was correct. Passenger side windshield cracked for no apparent reason while car was in garage. My research on internet showed that many 2015-2018 CRV ‘s have cracked windshields with no apparent reason. Honda has decided not to address this problem. Please check out windshield problems on CRV’s on the Internet before purchasing a new CRV. Unsafe vehicle. No excuse for a new Honda to leave any one stranded, especially a woman. Had to drive to her each time. Honda is installing cheap batteries, cheap tires and CVT transmissions in all of their new cars. CVT’s are nothing but expensive junk. They cost $4000 to $7000 dollars, not including removal and replacement. CVT’s cannot be rebuilt because they normally explode internally when they fail. Honda failed to inform buyers of this little detail. If CVT’s are so great, like Honda claims, why are all car manufacturers refusing to put them in trucks? This should be a warning that Honda is cutting quality. Honda is trying to live on their past reputation. Won’t be long before buyers will see this. Look elsewhere for a quality SUV. I have updated this review to 3 stars instead of two because the car now has 105,000 miles with no more problems. I still am convinced that CVT transmissions are junk.
