POWER TRAIN
1) NOTICEABLE AND DISTRACTING VIBRATIONS IN D, MOSTLY AT LOW RPMS. AFTER SPEEDING UP (WHICH, IN ITSELF IS A PROBLEM SEE #2), TO SAY 35 OR 40, I LET OFF THE GAS A BIT TO TURN INTO SOMEWHERE OR SLOW DOWN FOR A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN TO SPEED UP, IT'S AS IF I AM STILL IN THE HIGHER GEAR AND THE CAR RUMBLES VIBRATES AND PROTESTS AS IF IT IS GOING 30MPH AND I AM IN 5TH IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN. 2) STARTING OUT. IT CAN EITHER JUMP OUT WAY TOO FAST OR "SLIDE" UP TO SPEED GROWLING AND VIBRATING ALL THE WAY, ALMOST AS IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON. I HAVE ACTUALLY CHECKED A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WASN'T ENGAGED, THE DRAG WAS SO NOTICEABLE. 3) AT ANY GIVEN TIME THE ENGINE WILL REV UP TO 2500 - 3000 RPMS FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DROP LIKE A STONE TO 1000. THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A HILL, UP OR DOWN, OR ON A FLAT. YESTERDAY I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE DROP FROM 3000 TO 1000 IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. I AM NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL AT THESE TIMES. THIS IS ABNORMAL FUNCTION. 4) ON THE HIGHWAY , I SLOWED DOWN BEHIND A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE CARS WERE SPEEDING BY ON THE LEFT. I THEN TRIED TO PASS THE TRUCK AND THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T GO. IT HESITATED AND ALMOST SHUT DOWN. I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT FELT RECKLESS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE INCONSISTENCY OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES. THERE WAS ONE WEEK WHEN THE CAR SEEMED TO FINE FOR A FEW DAYS. BUT THAT WAS IT. SINCE THEN THIS THING SEEMS TO THINK IT KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE ITSELF BUT IT DOES NOT. AND BECAUSE OF ITEMS 3 AND 4, I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH THE LOW AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS BRAND NEW CAR ARE VERY DIM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED I COULD PUT AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENTS ON AS HONDA DOES NOT HAVE BETTER HEADLIGHTS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED IT DRIVES FINE BUT ONCE THE ENGINE REACHES OPERATING TEMPERATURE AT ABOUT 15MPH TO 30MPH THERE IS A VIBRATION FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IF I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VIBRATION STOPS OR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO THE NEXT GEAR THE VIBRATION STOPS. PROBLEM ONLY SEEMS TO BE AT LOW SPEEDS AS CAR SEEMS TO DRIVE GOOD WITH NO VIBRATIONS FROM 30 MPH TO 65 MPH. HONDA DEALER SALESPERSON TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. I CALLED HONDA USA AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK. THE DEALER AFTER CHECKING THE CAR TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THIS WAS ON MARCH 23, 2015. ON MARCH 24, 2015 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE HONDA DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE STATING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE NEW TRANSMISSIONS AND THAT HONDA IS TRYING TO FIND A FIX BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG ITS GOING TO TAKE TO FIGURE WHAT THE FIX IS GOING TO BE. TODAY MARCH 25, 2015 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA USA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYING THAT THE SYMPTOMS THAT I'M EXPERIENCING IN THE CAR ARE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR. I INFORMED HER THAT I SPOKE TO THE DEALER REP AND HE TOLD ME THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SHE SAID SHE WASN'T INFORMED ABOUT IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I PAID $26,000 FOR A CAR THAT VIBRATES AT LOW SPEEDS, THAT MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T FEEL SAFE IN IT, AND HONDA USA IS TELLING ME ITS NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO DO THIS. TALK ABOUT BEING FED A LINE OF BULL. NOW LETS SEE WHAT IF ANYTHING THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO DO BECAUSE THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DROVE ABOUT 30 MILES IN RAINY WEATHER WITH THE WIPERS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE AT A STEADY SPEED, WHEN SUDDENLY I NOTICED THAT THE WIPERS WERE SLUGGISH. THEN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY WHILE IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I TRIED TO GET THEM TO WORK BUT THEY WOULDN'T BUDGE. THE REAR WIPER WAS STILL WORKING. I PANICKED AS I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS. I HEADED FOR THE NEAREST EXIT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE CHECK, THEY SAID THAT THE WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEFECTIVE WIPERS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AS MY VISIBILITY WAS IMPAIRED WITHOUT THE USE OF FUNCTIONING WIPERS. HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS VERY COSTLY OVER $500. *TR

ENGINE, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT A 2015 CRV WITH 16 MILES ON IT. FROM THE BEGINNING THERE HAS BEEN SHUDDERING WHEN I DRIVE AT HIGH SPEEDS (OR ON ANY NORMAL HIGHWAY), AND STRONG VIBRATIONS (ROUGH IDLE). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON A 31K CAR. *TR

AIR BAGS
HAVING RECEIVED OUR RECALL NOTICE TO REPLACE THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG FROM THE MANUFACTURER, WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER TODAY, 3/24/2015. WE WERE DENIED INFORMATION OR DEFERRED FOR QUESTIONS REGARDING INFLATORS USED FOR THE "SIDE-IMPACT" AIR BAGS WHICH ARE BUILT INTO THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS (WHICH MAY BURST AND CAUSE INJURY TO BACK, SHOULDER OR SPINE). WE WERE TOLD PARTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 4 WEEKS, UP TO 2 MONTHS. THIS SEEMS UNREASONABLE FOR AN ISSUE THAT MAY RESULT IN OCCUPANT DEATH FROM A SAFETY DEVICE DESIGNED TO SAVE LIVES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE CAR IS IN "DRIVE" AND WHILE SITTING STILL AT A LIGHT OR WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED DROPS DOWN AND THE ENTIRE CAR VIBRATES. HONDA SAYS THAT THIS IS SIMPLY A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND HAS SO FAR NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF REPAIR OR REMEDY. MANY OF THE OTHER OWNERS HAVE POSTED THE SAME VIBRATION PROBLEM AT SEVERAL WEBSITES INCLUDING THE HONDA OWNERS BLOG SITES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF SOME REMEDY CAN BE FOUND AND THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE LOW IDLE SPEED WHILE STANDING STILL WILL ONLY WORSEN AND BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR AGES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

STEERING
MY 2015 HONDA CR-V TOURING MODEL VIBRATES LIKE CRAZY. SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. CERTAINLY MORE CONCERNING IS HAVING IT VIBRATE WHILE DRIVE 65-80 MILES AN HOUR WHILE DRIVING FROM COLORADO TO OREGON WHICH IS MY FIRST ROAD TRIP IN THIS VEHICLE. WHEN TAKING NORMAL CURVES IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. LESS CONCERNING BUT STILL AN ISSUE IS THAT THE SUNROOF LEAKS WHEN GOING THROUGH A POWER WASH. HONDA'S SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO NOT GO THROUGH A POWER WASH. I SINCERELY HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE BEFORE SOME ONE IS SERIOUSLY HARMED. *TR

SEATS
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

ENGINE
BRAND NEW 5 MILES ON IT WHEN I GOT IT. SHAKES WHEN IDLES. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SIGNED INVOICE STATING AWARE OF SHAKING AND FELT THE SHAKING. TOLD ME TO CALL HONDA OPEN A CASE. GOT CASE #. CLOSED IN 3 HRS. THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO ISSUE. PER HONDA. THEY DON'T KNOW IF ITS MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL OR COMPUTER. AS MILES INCREASE THE SHAKING IS GETTING WORSE. I AM STARTING TO FEEL IT IN STEERING WHEEL & GEAR SHIFTER. I AM VERY CONCERNED IF THERE IS A LOSS OF CONTROL OF CAR I'LL BE IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE PRICE I PAID FOR CRV EXL & THESE ISSUES WITH 1800 MILES ARE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE & IF HONDA KNEW THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE ASSEMBLY LINEOF THESE CARS & STILL RELEASED THESE CARS TO BE SOLD THERE IS LIABILITY ON THE PART OF HONDA. I WANT MY 1996 COROLLA BACK IT HAD 199,000 MILES AND DID NOT SHAKE LIKE THIS 2015 CRV!! I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING GETTING ANOTHER CAR. HONDA BETTER TAKE THE CONCERNS OF THESE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS SERIOUSLY. HONDA IS LOSING THEIR QUALITY WORKMANSHIP REPUTATION. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. I BOUGHT THIS BASED ON HONDA'S QUALITY, VALUE, RESEARCH, OVERALL REPUTATION, AND RE-SALE VALUE, LOOKS LIKE I WAS MISGUIDED. *TR

SEATS, STRUCTURE:BODY
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

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT MY HONDA CR-V 2015 TOURING MODEL DECEMBER 15,2014 WITH 2 MILES ON IT. ON MY WAY TO WORK IN FEBRUARY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT A JERK ON MY CAR, (I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST WIND SINCE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOME BAD WINTER WEATHER COME THROUGH) I LOOKED DOWN AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES, IT RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED TO ME TWO MORE TIMES. *TR
