Worst invention of Honda ever

Alert! Those who want to purchase this car, please test drive it for at least 200 miles :) and go for a decision. Look for videos and blogs reporting vibration problem in this car. You will find a ton of them. Worst part is that, even though Honda is aware of this problem, it is getting rid of its stock with out fixing the problem. Customers have to go to the dealership and beg for the fix. Dealership is not ready to take the car back. Really disappointed with this purchase. Will never trust Honda. They have performed 4 repairs on the car in the first month. Now that they are completely exhausted with their solutions they are pretending that the car is in good condition now and nothing needs to be fixed.

The vibrating is a small yet extremely irritating.

I love the way the car drives, until you stop. While idling the car shakes enough to the point when I have got out I can still feel it in my back. Honda claimed to know nothing until I copped an attitude, they have been extremely helpful but can literally do nothing. I'm young, first car I have ever purchased, I am not very happy to have a payment sky high when the car is not perfect. I've had it for three weeks; it should not be shaking. Also the vibration causes things in the car to vibrate and make a rattling sound which is also annoying. I have had issues getting out of the car because of where the E-Break is placed, my foot snags on it everyday. Another thing that bothers me is that when I put the car into "drive" it appears as it's in drive but is actually in neutral. I was also told that there is a breaking system that wont let the car roll when you park on a hill, yet everyday it still rolls about two inches after putting it in park and putting the E-Break on. I am very annoyed with the car, I will not be buying from honda again. The vibration is what irritates me the most, the other things I mentioned would not bother me as much is those were the only things wrong with it.

Rough Rider idle even after dealer "fix".

I have owned my 2015 Honda CRV EX-L for about eight and a half years now. I like A LOT of things about it, but I was and still am annoyed by the rough idle/vibration/pulsation when I am in the drive mode and stopped in traffic. Also there is a rattle in the back cargo door that has been there since it was new. It idles rougher than any other Honda or Acura I have ever owned. With most Honda's, they are so smooth that you can't even tell the car's engine is on! I did read a recent Consumer's Reports Used Car magazine and found that the reliability and overall opinion of current owner's of this year and model of car is quite excellent. I've never really owned a car that didn't have some short coming so I guess this my 2015 CRV's. In the future I will take the Edmund's reviewers far more seriously next time before I buy a car. I have found over the years that nothing is perfect, not even a Honda or an Acura. I still feel that compared to a regular passenger car like the Accord, this car just makes more sense for all of its practical features and benefits. I am going to look at the 2024's soon. Mostly because I want to get a pretty good trade in on this one, and I have read the new CRV's ride a lot better than my older one does. I will also miss the CD player that is no longer available on most cars anymore and has virtually become extinct in the newer cars.

BUYER BEWARE

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.

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.
