2015 HONDA CR-V Seats Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while the vehicle was either idle or while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel, seats, and dashboard all would sporadically start to vibrate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer who advised him that they did not recognize the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that while conducting his own research, he found there were many complaints about what he was experiencing with his vehicle. The manufacturer was notified about the failure and advised that he contact the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 30,100.

Mileage: 30,100

Heated seats are ALWAYS ON

IN EVERY STATEMENT/COMPLAINT AT THE SERVICE CENTER, I ALWAYS STATED THAT THE FRONT SEATS VIBRATE WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON AND IN GEAR. AFTER REVIEWING SB 15-046, THE INITIAL REPAIR IN 2016 WAS FOR DRIVING MODE 1. ON THE SECOND REPAIR IN 2017, THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED DRIVING MODE 2 REPAIR WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME VIA PHONE OR IN PERSON ABOUT THE REPAIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SB 15-046. SB 15-046 STATES, FOR DRIVING MODE 2 UPDATE NOTES: -YOU MUST MAKE SURE THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAS REVIEWED THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR DRIVING MODE 2 WITH THE CUSTOMER BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS PERFORMED. -VERIFY THAT THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAS NOTED ON THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT THAT HE OR SHE HAS REVIEWED THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR DRIVING MODE 2 WITH THE CUSTOMER. -THE NOTED CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT MUST BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE RECORDS AND ATTACHED TO THE REPAIR ORDER BEFORE DOING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE, AS THIS SOFTWARE MAY HAVE A SMALL IMPACT ON FUEL ECONOMY. ALL OF THE NOTES ON THE SB 15-046 WERE SKIPPED WHEN HONDA OF SERRAMONTE WAS REPAIRING MY CAR. IN THE DIAGNOSIS SECTION ON PAGE 6 OF SB 15-046. 'YOU MUST ONLY PERFORM THE REPAIR BASED ON CUSTOMER CONCERNS.' EVERYTHING PERFORMED ON THE CAR OR COMMENTS FROM THE TECHNICIAN IS RECORD IN THE SERVICE INVOICE. TO THIS DAY, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE DRIVING MODE 2 UPDATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SB 15-046. NOR, DID I SIGN THE CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT BECAUSE THE SERVICE INVOICE FROM JUL. 1, 2017 DOES NOT MENTION ANY CUSTOMER INFORMATION STATEMENT FROM SB 15-046.

2015 HONDA CRV FRONT SEAT VIBRATES. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIXED IN ACCORDANCE TO TSB 15-046. THE VIBRATIONS IS STILL APPARENT AFTER 20K MILES LATER. WHEN MY CRV IS STOPPED WITH VEHICLE IN GEAR (AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT). I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIAN A MARKING THE ISSUE AS NORMAL VIBRATIONS. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR HONDA NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POOR ENGINEERING. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE VIBRATIONS WILL EVENTUALLY LOOSEN UP THE SEAT BOLTS. THERE ARE A FEW VIDEOS OF 2015 HONDA CRV FRONT SEAT VIBRATIONS ON YOUTUBE.

CR-V LX 3.2L CVT TRANSMISSION14,000 MILES I SWITCHED FROM A 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 TO A 2015 HONDA CR-V, NEVER CONSIDERING THAT I'D DEEPLY REGRET THE DECISION AND BE PINING FOR MY OLD RAV SEATS, WHICH WERE QUITE COMFORTABLE. SADLY, I DIDN'T DISCOVER THE PROBLEM WITH THESE INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS UNTIL I'D ALREADY PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A PRIVATE SELLER. NOW I SUSPECT THAT THE LOW MILEAGE HAD TO DO WITH THE UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS. THERE IS ZERO LUMBAR SUPPORT OR MEANINGFUL ADJUSTMENT ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SO IT'S TRULY LIKE SITTING IN A TORTURE DEVICE. AFTER 15-20 MINS OF DRIVING MY LOWER BACK STARTS TO SCREAM, MY BUTT GOES NUMB AND I EXPERIENCE TINGLING AND NUMBNESS IN MY LEG. AFTER 30-60 MINUTES OF DRIVING DEVELOP A SHARP PAIN IN MY THORACIC REGION. I'VE ATTEMPTED NUMEROUS WORK-AROUNDS IN ORDER TO MAKE A 13-HOUR CAR DRIVE, WHICH I WAS DREADING BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS I WAS EXPERIENCING WITH THE SEATS--JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN. THE THOUGHT OF FACING AN ENTIRE DAY IN THE HONDA SEEMED LIKE A TORMENT. I PUT A FULL-SEAT PAD OF FOAM UNDER A SHEEPSKIN SEAT COVER. RESULT: SOFTER BUT STILL CAUSING BACK PAIN. THEN, I PUT A MEMORY-FOAM SEAT ON TOP OF THE SHEEPSKIN COVER AND INSERTED A SMALL INFLATABLE LUMBAR SUPPORT FROM RELAX THE BACK UNDER MY LUMBAR AREA. WITH ENOUGH TWEAKING OF THIS ARRANGEMENT, I'M ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT TOO MUCH MISERY, BUT I'M FURIOUS THAT I'VE HAD TO DO THIS MUCH JERRY-RIGGING ON A $30K CAR. FROM ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE DISCOVERED, ONLINE, ONE WOULD THINK THAT HONDA WOULD HAVE THE GOOD SENSE AND COMMON DECENCY TO CORRECT THE MYRIAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SEATS, BUT APPARENTLY THEY'RE CONTENT TO HAVE US OWNERS ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD, WRITHING IN PAIN.

I HAVE BROUGHT CAR BACK 4 TIMES FOR THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. LAST VISIT THE SHOP FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM BULLETIN 15-046. CAR STILL SHAKES WHEN IDLING

Mileage: 10,254

AFTER 3 TIMES GOING TO DEALER FOR SERVICE WITH TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) 15'046, MY CAR STILL VIBRATES STRONGLY FOR ALL SEATS, WHICH CERTAINLY CAUSES DISTRACTING, HEADACHES AND QUEASINESS.

Mileage: 400

SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHEN I AM AT A STOP AND FOOT ON BRAKE OR JUST ABOUT TO DRIVE OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION OF THE FRONT SEAT WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN IT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I AM AT A STOP BUT IT CONTINUES EVEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO REACH OVER AND HOLD ON TO THE SEAT TO GET RIDE OF THE NOISE AND VIBRATION. WINDOWS AND REAR WINDOW SEEM TO HAVE A FOG OR CLOUDINESS IN THEM NO MATTER THE STATE OF THE DEFROST, WEATHER OR HOW MUCH I CLEAN THEM. NO CLEAR VISION OUT THE WINDOW. HAVE SEEN THE SAME ISSUE IN HONDA ODYSSEY AS WELL.

Mileage: 10

AT A STOP OR RED LIGHT CAR VIBRATES CRAZY. AS SOON AS I ACCELERATE FROM 0-40 THE TRANSMISSION VIBRATES SOUNDING LIKE UR GOING OVER A METAL BRIDGE. I LET GO OFF THE GAS PETAL THE VIBRATION STOP I ACCELERATE HAPPENS AGAIN.

MY CAR VIBRATES HORRIBLY AT REST WHILE IN GEAR AT A STOP LIGHT, SHAKES SO BAD I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. SOMETHING RATTLES UNDER MY TAIL GATE, I HAD IT LOOKED AT, THEY SAID ITS A PARTIAL RECALL THAT HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. WHEN I BACK UP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, MY TRANSMISSION GARGLES AND MY CAR SHAKES BEFORE IT GOES. IT CONSTANTLY SHAKES ON THE HIGHWAY, IVE HAD IT REALIGNED AND TIRES BALANCED TWICE IN 3 MONTHS. THIS CAR IS AWFUL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTER FAILED. THE SEAT HAD TO BE READJUSTED TO CORRECT THE HEIGHT EACH TIME WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE STOPPED AND IDLING WHILE IN GEAR, VIBRATION FELT THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS IMMEDIATELY OBSERVABLE, DISTRACTING, AND COULD POSSIBLY GIVE ME A HEADACHE ON LONGER STOP-AND-GO TRIPS. CONTACTED HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAD DEALER PERFORM THE APPLICABLE FIXES BUT ISSUE REMAINS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN'T FEEL THE VIBRATION, HOWEVER, THEY AREN'T IN THE CAR AS LONG AS I AM (OR ARE TRYING TO COVER THE PROBLEM). HONDA CLAIMS THEY CAN DO NOTHING ELSE BUT THEY WILL INFORM ME OF ANY FIXES IN THE FUTURE. ALSO MENTIONED THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS ISSUE ELSEWHERE AS THEY CAN NO LONGER HELP ME AT THIS TIME. PER THEIR SUGGESTION, I'M REPORTING THIS HERE.

HONDA CR-V 2015 VIBRATION . LAST YEAR I PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CR-V AND AS WITH MOST OTHER OWNERS, IT HAS A BAD VIBRATION ISSUE WHILE AT A STOP IN DRIVE MODE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKES. I ALSO VIBRATES AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 -50 MPH AND AROUND 70 MPH. I HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES BUT STILL VIBRATES WHILE STOPPED IN THE DRIVE MODE (IN GEAR WITH FOOT ON BRAKE). I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CORP AND THEY SAID EVEN WITH THE 4 SUGGESTED REPAIRS WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN PREFORMED ON MY CAR BY THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER, THIS WILL NOT STOP THE VIBRATION ISSUE AND THAT HONDA HAS NO OTHER KNOWN FIX TO STOP THE VIBRATION ISSUE AND THAT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE CAR. THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER VERBALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE VIBRATION ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO PUT IT ON THE SERVICE REPORT THAT THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION ISSUE. I SEE ALL THE POST FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS A DISTRACTION AND I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE AS ONE, TIME WHILE I WAS SETTING AT A RED LIGHT, IT STARTED VIBRATING AND WHILE I WAS DISTRACTED BY THE SEAT AND CAR VIBRATING, THE TRUCK BEHIND ME BLEW HIS LOUD HORN AND I ALMOST RAN THE RED LIGHT THAT HAD CHANGED WHILE I WAS DISTRACTED. I KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BUT I DO NOT KNOW THE STATUS OF IT. THEY HAD TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO SENDING THE 2015 HONDA CR-V TO THE DEALERS, BUT NOBODY INFORMED THE BUYERS OF THIS ISSUE.

WE PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CRV 2015 DECEMBER OF 2015. THE SAME WEEK WE TOOK THE CAR HOME, WE NOTICED A VERY STRONG VIBRATION AT IDLE WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. THE VIBRATION IS SO STRONG THAT IT FEELS AS IF ONE IS SITTING IN A 'MASSAGING CHAIR'. WE (MY WIFE AND I) HAVE GOTTEN DIZZY AND NAUSEATED FROM THE VIBRATION. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA IMMEDIATELY. SINCE THEN, THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE CAR 5 TIMES AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I THEN REQUESTED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND THEY DENIED IT. THEY EVEN SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPAIR MY CAR ANYMORE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS SATURDAY FEBRUARY, 13 2016. IN THE REPAIR ORDER, THE DEALERSHIP CLEARLY STATES THAT THE VIBRATION WAS PRESENT AFTER THE REPAIR.

BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY AND MPG RATING, UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING SAME, THE BLOOD CIRCULATION TO MY LEGS WAS TOTALLY CUT OFF, MAKING MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY QUESTIONABLE, NOT TO MENTION EXTREMELY MISERABLE. BOUGHT SEVERAL CUSHIONS WHICH HAVE HELPED ON SHORT DISTANCES, LEAVING ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF PROTRUSION OR DEFECT EMBEDDED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAUSING PART OF MY ANATOMY TO GO NUMB. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, A QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, RATHER THAN A DEFECT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. HONDA CORPORATION HAS OPENED A CASE ON THE PROBLEM AND IS SCHEDULED TO INSPECT SAME. THOUGHT I WOULD POST THIS AFTER HEARING A REPORT ON CBS NEWS TODAY THAT CAR-MAKERS ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE FAULTY CONSTRUCTION OF DRIVER'S SEATS IN VEHICLES THESE DAYS WHICH ARE BREAKING EASILY UPON IMPACT CAUSING FATALITIES, AND HONDA WAS MENTIONED AS BEING ONE OF THEM IN SPITE OF ITS 5-STAR SAFETY RATINGS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM OF MY SELECTION OF WHAT I THOUGHT, AND WHAT THE EXPERTS REPORTED, WAS A HIGH-QUALITY AND WELL-MADE VEHICLE BY HONDA. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD MAKE A VEHICLE THAT WILL LAST FOR YEARS MECHANICALLY, AND NOT ADDRESS THE VIBRATION ISSUES AND INFERIORITY OF THE INTERIOR SEATING; WHICH WILL ONLY JEOPARDIZE ITS HIGH-STANDARD REPUTATION IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY. HOPEFULLY, AFTER HONDA ADDRESSES BOTH OF THESE ISSUES, I WILL RE-GAIN MY CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CR-V EX-L BASED ON EXCELLENT REVIEWS FROM CONSUMER REPORTS AND EDMUNDS. I EXPECTED THE CAR TO BE PERFECT. HOWEVER, HONDA SOLD ME THE DEFECTED CAR WITHOUT ANY NOTICE EVEN THIS DEFECT WAS KNOWN FOR MONTHS. THE ISSUE IS A VIBRATION DURING IDLE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I STOP ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE PASSENGER SEAT STARTS TO SHAKE. IF I RELEASE BREAKS VIBRATIONS WILL GO AWAY. IT IS NOT NORMAL. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE (OR 600-700 MILES). THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT HONDA'S ENGINEERS WERE "WORKING ON IT", NO SOLUTION WAS FOUND YET AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR A FURTHER NOTICE. VISIBLE VIBRATIONS MEAN THAT THERE IS MECHANICAL RESONANCE IN THE CAR. AN EXAMPLE OF DESTRUCTION DUE TO MECHANICAL RESONANCE WOULD BE A COLLAPSE OF TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE. THUS, MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR CAN BE DAMAGED STRUCTURALLY. FOR EXAMPLE, FEW BOLTS MAY COME LOOSE AND THE CAR MAY DISINTEGRATE DURING THE DRIVE. THE PROBLEM COULD BE THAT A NEWLY INTRODUCED CVT TRANSMISSION IN HONDA CR-V 2015 DOESN'T GO ALONG WITH THE ENGINE AND THEY PRODUCE EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS THAT SPREAD THRU A CAR FRAME TO THE SEAT. PROBABLY, THE CAR WASN'T TESTED PROPERLY DURING DESIGN PROCESS. THUS, HONDA ENGINEERS OVERLOOKED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A VIDEO FILE OF VIBRATIONS BUT IT'S TOO BIG FOR UPLOAD. ANYWAY, YOU CAN SEE THIS ISSUE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SR-YQAJRRB8

I HAVE BROUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA 2015 CRV FROM ONE OF THE HONDA DEALER IN SAN LEANDRO, CA. FEW DAYS LATER, I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION ON THE FRONT SEATS OF THE CAR WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN/SIGNAL WITH CAR IS IN THE DRIVE MODE (D) WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PADDLE. THE VIBRATION IS RANDOM AND NOT ALWAYS BUT CAN BE FEEL AT THE BACK OF YOUR BODY AND IT IS VERY STRONG SOMETIME THAT AS A DRIVER YOU GET DISTRACTED AND FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU HAVE TO ARE STUCK IN SOME TRAFFIC JAM AND HAVE TO STOP LONGER THEN THE VIBRATION ON BOTH THE FRONT SEAT IS QUITE NOTICING AND CAUSES IRRITATION ON THE BACK AND YOU CANNOT SIT FOR LONG IN WHILE THE SEATS VIBRATING. AND I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE HELPLESS AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA. MOST OF THE 2015 HONDA CRV HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT'S BEEN MORE THEN 8 MONTHS, BUT HONDA DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO FIX IT!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CRV WITH SERIOUS VIBRATION ISSUES AT IDLE. I FIRST NOTED THE VIBRATION AT 420 MILES AT A RED LIGHT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED AS VIBRATIONS INTENSITY INCREASED AROUND 800 MILES. THE DEALER DID NOTHING, DENIED KNOWING ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND NOTES: "CUSTOMER STATES THE CAR HAS A VIBRATION WHEN STOPPED AND FOOT ON BRAKE. IT COMES THROUGH THE BRAKE AND THE SEAT BASE AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT. CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE WHOLE CAR. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 450 MILES. VERIFIED CUSTOMERS CONCERN. HONDA IS AWARE OF CUSTOMER REPORTS OF THIS CONCERN. HONDA IS ACTIVELY REVIEWING REPORTS AND TESTING. SINCE REVIEW IS IN PROGRESS NO PRODUCT REVIEW IS AVAILABLE." ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.

Mileage: 420

I BOUGHT A HONDA CRV 2015 EX-L. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ONE DAY EXPERIENCED SERIOUS VIBRATIONS IN DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN MORE INTENSE WHEN IDLING. I NOTICED AN ANNOYING VIBRATION UPON SMOOTH ACCELERATION, BETWEEN 1000 AND 1500 RPM. I HAD NOT NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ON THE DEMO I TEST DROVE, I FEEL THAT I PAY 30000 DOLLAR FOR VIBRATIG CHAIR.

Mileage: 15

I PURCHASED MY CRV EX AWD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I NOTICED THAT THE SEATS SHAKE CAUSING A VIBRATION IN THE CAR WHEN I'M STOPPED AND THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ENGINE IS WARM AND IDLES AROUND 600 RPMS. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF THE A/C IS ON OR THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THEN THE VIBRATIONS LESSENS AFTER THE ENGINE IDLE INCREASES. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA, BUT THEY ONLY SAID THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE COMPLAINT AND THAT "IF" A REMEDY CAN BE FOUND THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE OWNERS.

THE VIBRATION, AND AT TIMES SHAKING, OF THE SEATS OF MY 2015 HONDA CRV IS SO SEVERE THAT IT CAUSES NAUSEA, MIGRAINES, AND BACK PAIN. I MYSELF HAVE A HERNIATED DISK WITH NERVE COMPRESSION, A CONDITION THAT IS SERIOUSLY AGGRAVATED BY THE VIBRATION/SHAKING. I HAVE NOTIFIED BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA TO NO AVAIL. THAT HONDA, OR ANY CORPORATION FOR THAT MATTER, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HARM CONSUMERS IN THIS WAY IS DESPICABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. WHILE IN PARK, THE DRIVER SEAT RECLINED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LOWER BACK, COLON, AND STOMACH, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. MA 10/1 UPDATED 10/12/2017*CN

MY BRAND NEW HONDA AFTER DRIVEN FOR 15-20 MINUTES BEGINS TO SHAKE/VIBRATE WHEN IDLING, SITTING AT A LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE SEATS VISIBLY SHAKE. WHEN EASING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR LUNGES SLIGHTLY. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL GET WORSE AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR FROM MY DEALER THAT THERE CURRENTLY ARE NO FIXES FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2015 HONDA CR-V TOURING MODEL VIBRATES INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS WORSE WHEN AT IDLE SUCH AS AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. IT DOES HAPPEN, DANGEROUSLY SO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65-76 MPH. HONDA CALL THIS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR" "AN ANNOYANCE". IT IS MORE THAN THIS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOW ONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON APRIL 13, 2015 AND AFTER OPERATING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IN (DRIVE) IDLING, THERE IS A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT SEATS AND WHEN I PROCEED TO DRIVE IT DISSIPATES AND STOPS. *TR

THIS BRAND NEW HONDA CR-V AWD TOURING 2015 (LESS THAN 3 WEEKS OLD) HAS AN ISSUE OF VIBRATION OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS, STEERING WHEEL, AND CAR OVERALL (E.G., DOORS). THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN A FEW MILES AND THE CAR STOPS (IDLES) IN DRIVE MODE (E.G., AN A STOP LIGHT). WITHIN SECONDS THE SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIBRATE, SOMETIMES UNCOMFORTABLY. THE VIBRATION GOES AWAY AS THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE, SO IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN NOTICEABLY WHEN IDLING WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND THE VIBRATION IS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH THAT MAKES THE DRIVER (OR PASSENGERS) AWARE AND SUSPICIOUS OF A PROBLEM. A CRACK ON THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOTICED APR/12/2015 (STARTING AT THE BOTTOM EDGE AT DRIVER'S SIDE AND SPREADING TOWARDS THE CENTER). I WENT TO DEALER (MANCHESTER HONDA) APR/13/2015, SHOWED VIBRATION ISSUE TO SELLER WHICH WAS REPRODUCED AT THE DEALER PARKING LOT, AND WAS LATER INFORMED BY A SERVICE REP THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF ISSUE. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE APR/14/2015, AND WAS DIRECTED TO A HONDA VIDEO (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=A6K6JPH7ZAK) AND OPENED A CASE, NO RESPONSE YET. THE HONDA REP TOLD ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, THAT HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THAT THEY "HOPE" TO HAVE A FIX SOMEDAY. THE WINDSHIELD WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS THE HONDA DEALER DECLINED TO REPLACED IT (THEY CLAIM IT WAS CAUSED BY A STONE/ROCK CHIP, A REALLY TINY ONE, SIZE OF A PINHEAD OR ABOUT 0.5 TO 1 MM). I STILL WONDER IF IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THE VIBRATIONS OR DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. I ALSO WONDER IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT REPRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE. IF MY OLDER CR-V (2003) WOULD VIBRATE THIS WAY I WOULD TAKE IT TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE I WOULD BE SUSPICIOUS OF AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. *TR

MY NEW 2015 CR-V MAKES A TERRIBLE VIBRATION WHEN IN IDLE IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT DOESN'T DO IT FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING, SO I DIDN'T NOTICE DURING MY TEST DRIVE. BUT ONCE IT'S WARMED UP, THAT'S WHEN IT DROPS DOWN TO 600 RPMS AND STARTS SHAKING AT IDLE. THIS IS A VIBRATION THAT SHAKES BOTH THE FRONT SEATS AND THE STEERING WHEEL. IT CAN BE FELT ALL OVER ME AND MY PASSENGERS' BODIES. WHILE I DO NOT LIVE IN A LARGE CITY, I WOULD IMAGINE THIS WOULD BE UNBEARABLE AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOR ANYONE WHO DRIVES IN RUSH HOUR OR OTHERWISE POOR TRAFFIC WITH ALL OF THE TIME ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE IN DRIVE WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS IS NEW TO THE 2015, I HAVE FRIENDS WHO OWN EARLIER MODELS AND I CAN'T SEE OR FEEL IT IN THEIR CR-VS. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT 2015 HONDA CR V ON 29TH MARCH 2015. I HAVE FEEL VIBRATION AND SHUDDER IN DRIVER AS WELL AS PASSENGER SEAT WHILE IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR SPEEDING FROM 20 MILES TO 50 MILES. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. IT CAN BE SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING ALSO. *TR

THIS IS REGARDING A BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V BOUGHT FROM A HONDA DEALER IN NORTHRIDGE, CA. STARTED NOTICING A VIBRATION OF THE SEATS WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT(IN D GEAR WITH BRAKES FULLY PRESSED). BEING A HOT DAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE A/C CAUSING THE VIBRATION. LATER THAT DAY, WITHOUT THE A/C RUNNING, THE VIBRATION HAD INCREASED. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN WHEN MY ACCESSORIES WOULD ARRIVE IN A FEW DAYS. CHECKED INTO SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE CAR AFTER A WEEK AND THE SERVICE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. UPON INSISTENCE, HE BROUGHT OUT A SIMILAR CAR AND SHOWED THAT THE VIBRATION EXISTED ON THAT CAR AS WELL AND THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. RESEARCHING ONLINE I FIND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS, INCLUDING A FACEBOOK PAGE AND A HONDA OWNERS FORUM THAT REFLECTS THE ISSUE FACED BY MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE NEW 2015 MODEL HONDA CR-V. I WOULD LIKE TO FORMALLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE SINCE AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. *TR

THE HONDA CRV EX-L 2015 IDLES ROUGH/VIBRATES PROFUSELY WHEN IN DRIVE/FOOT ON BRAKE. THE STEERING WHEEL, HEADRESTS, ITEMS IN THE CUP HOLDER ALL RATTLE/VIBRATE VIGOROUSLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLING AT APPROX. 550-600 RPM. EVEN THE BACK SEATS CARRY THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE. MY CHILDREN (BACK SEAT PASSENGERS) NOW COMPLAIN OF NAUSEA/HEADACHES WHEN IN THE VEHICLE FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME. THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN AN 'ANNOYANCE'. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO POTENTIALLY LOOSE FOCUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT, WHICH IS SAFE DRIVING. I'VE HAD PASSENGERS COMMENT ON THE VIGOROUS VIBRATION AS WELL. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VIBRATION/ROUGH IDLE WAS INDEED CONFIRMED; HOWEVER, THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE SERVICE DEPT TO FIX. A SERVICE REQUEST HAS BEEN SENT TO HONDA AS THERE IS NO 'FIX' AT THIS TIME. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY CONSISTENT COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON REPUTABLE WEBSITES ALL STATING THAT HONDA IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 HONDA CR V IN NOVEMBER 2014. THE TEST DRIVE WAS PERFECT. HOWEVER, I BEGAN TO NOTICE SLIGHT VIBRATION IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT AT STOP LIGHTS AND ANYTIME CAR WAS IDLING IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. I CONTACTED MT LOCAL DEALER WHO TOLD ME I MUST CONTACT HONDA CORPORATION AND OPEN A CASE FILE ON MY CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE INVESTIGATING BUT HAVE NO IDEA IF OR WHEN THIS VIBRATION CAN BE STOPPED. THE VIBRATION SEEMS TO GET WORSE AS MILEAGE INCREASES. THE CAR HAD 3,400 MILES ON IT WHEN I DECIDED TO TRADE THE CRV AND TAKE THE LOSS FINANCIALLY. I PAID CASH FOR THE CAR, BUT THE VIBRATION SEEMED TO GET WORSE DAILY AND FELT IT WAS NOT WORTH THE RISK TO JEOPARDIZE MY POSSIBLE SAFETY. I AM VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE ANY HONDA VEHICLE. *TR

MY BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V IS EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS IN IDLE WHEN IN DRIVE. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS IN MY SEAT AS I AM IN IDLE, BUT IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY AS IT SHAKES AGGRESSIVELY FROM THE VIBRATIONS. IT'S ANNOYING AND ITS DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ON THIS ISSUE BUT HONDA IS CALLING IT A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE CAR. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX SO THEY ARE BASICALLY TELLING ME I AM OUT OF LUCK AT THIS TIME AND TO WAIT IT OUT. I'VE ALSO MADE A PHONE CALL TO HONDA AMERICA AND AWAITING A CALL BACK ON MY CASE. A BRAND NEW CAR WITH THIS PRICE TAG SHOULD NOT HAVE VIBRATIONS WHEN IN IDLE. MANY CONSUMERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF THIS VIBRATION TO THE CAR. *TR

NOTICEABLE IDLE TIME VIBRATION WHILE STOPPED AT STOP SIGN AND 'D' MODE. VIBRATION IS SO HEAVY THAT IT MAKES MY LEGS GO NUMB AND UNCOMFORTABLE. *TR

Mileage: 780

THE IDLE SPEED FOR THE VEHICLE IS TOO LOW. WITH THE ENGINE WARMED UP, YOU CAN STEP ON THE BRAKE (AS IS TYPICAL AT A RED LIGHT) AND THE CAR WILL VIBRATE A LOT AND THE DRIVER WILL FEEL AN UNCOMFORTABLE VIBRATION. AT TIMES, IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE MIGHT SHUT OFF. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AND THE ENGINE RPM INCREASE A LITTLE BIT, THE VIBRATION STOPS. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

NEW CAR, OWNED FOR 3 WEEKS,700 MILES ON CAR. I EXPRESSED CONCERN AT TIME OF PURCHASE DUE TO DISCOMFORT OF HEADREST. I AM 5'3". I WAS TOLD TO RECLINE THE SEAT MORE, HOWEVER NO POSITION SEEMS TO HELP. I HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING NECK PAIN NOW AFTER COMMUTING 2 HOURS DAILY AND HAD NONE IN MY 2002 MODEL CAR THE HEAD REST/ HEAD RESTRAINT PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD, THERE IS NO POSITION IN WHICH ANATOMICAL POSTURE CAN BE ACHIEVED. IN ORDER TO BE COMFORTABLE I EITHER SIT AWAY FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT WITH ESSENTIALLY NO BACK SUPPORT, SIT SIDEWAYS ON THE SEAT SO MY HEAD CAN CLEAR TO THE SIDE OF THE NECK RESTRAINT OR TURN THE HEAD REST AROUND. THIS HOWEVER IS ALSO UNSAFE. NOTABLY WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR, THE HEADREST WAS TURNED AROUND BACKWARDS AS WELL, SUGGESTING THAT THE DELIVERY DRIVER, THE ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO DROVE IT, AND A DEALER EMPLOYEE, ALSO FOUND IT INTOLERABLE. SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD NOT IMPEDE UPON PROPER BIOMECHANICS, AS THIS CAN ACTUALLY CREATE LESS SAFE SITUATIONS . IT SEEMS TO BE DESIGNED FOR A CULTURE OF PEOPLE WHO SLOUCH WHILE THEY DRIVE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND IF IT WERE A WORKPLACE SEAT (WHICH IT IS WHEN I USE THE VEHICLE FOR WORK RELATED DRIVING), IT WOULD BE AN OSHA VIOLATION FOR PROPER ERGONOMICS. NO ONE WOULD TOLERATE THIS IF IT WERE ANY OTHER TYPE OF SEAT. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY ALLOWING FOR SHORTER MEN AND WOMEN TO USE A DIFFERENT HEADREST THAT NEEDS TO BE SUPPLIED TO DEALERS. *TR

I HAVE BROUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CRV AWD LX MODEL FROM HONDA DEALER IN NJ. FROM THE DAY ONE, I NOTICED SOME VIBRATION ON THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN/SIGNAL WITH CAR IN THE DRIVE MODE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VIBRATION IS RANDOM AND NOT ALWAYS BUT CAN BE FEEL AT THE BACK OF YOUR BODY AND IT IS VERY STRONG SOMETIME THAT AS A DRIVE YOU GET DISTRACTED AND FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SHOWED IT TO THEIR TECHNICIAN ON 24TH NOV 14. THE TECHNICIAN TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR TEST DRIVE AND CALLED ME AFTER AN HOUR TO SHARE HIS CONCLUSION. DEALER TOOK ANOTHER BRAND NEW 2015 HONDA CRV AND FOUND THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER VEHICLE. ALSO, BASED ON THE TESTING THE DEALER CONCLUDED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS THERE IN ALL NEW HONDA CRV 2015. THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE HELPLESS AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA(ALL THESE DETAILS HE GAVE ME IN THE SERVICE DOCUMENT). I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA(NOT ONE TIME BUT SEVERAL TIMES), THEY GAVE ME THE CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE ISSUE. I TOLD THEM THAT I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIND THE ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE. I GOT A CALL FROM SOME MR MOHAMMAD(CASE MANAGER) WHO REPRESENTED HIMSELF AS RM FOR NJ AREA. WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING HE CLOSED MY CASE, I CALLED AGAIN AND ASKED THEM TO OPEN THE CASE. MR MOHAMMED CALLED ME AGAIN AND TOLD ME THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTIC OF HONDA CRV(VIBRATION ISSUE) I MEAN HE TOLD VIBRATION IS A DESIGNED FUNCTIONALLY AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS LIKE ALL OTHER USERS ARE LIVING. I SAID TO PROVIDE THE EMAIL OR PHONE OF MANAGEMENT SO AS TO TALK TO THEM BUT HE DID NOT PROVIDE ME THE INFORMATION AND CLOSED MY CASE WITHOUT MY CONSENSUS AND SAID WE ARE HELPLESS.
