A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VIBRATION ON THE FRONT END, MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MOST SEVERE AT 60-70 MPH RANGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES IN MARCH. THE FIRST TIME THEY BALANCED ALL THE TIRES, THE SECOND TIME THEY PUT TWO NEW TIRES IN THE FRONT. I DROVE IT ON A TRIP (ABOUT 600 MILES TOTAL) AND IT WAS EXTREMELY IRRITATING THE WHOLE TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE THIRD VISIT TO THE DEALER AND I DROVE IT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. WE THEN DROVE ANOTHER NEW 2015 CRV AND IT DROVE THE SAME WAY. HIS BEST SUGGESTION WAS TO INVEST IN MICHELINS TO REDUCE THE ROAD NOISE. HE CALLED BACK ABOUT A WEEK LATER TO LET ME KNOW THERE WERE "SOME KNOWN ISSUES" AND HE LET ME KNOW IT THEY FOUND A FIX. I THEN SEARCHED NHTSA ONLY TO DISCOVER SIMILAR PROBLEMS LISTED , SO HERE I AM, POSTING MY COMPLAINT TO ADD TO THE LIST. HONDA HAS ALSO POSTED TO ANNOUNCE THEY'LL BE RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BLOCK BUT YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER AT THIS POINT FOR MINE. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE VIBRATION AT IDLING, WHICH IS ALSO ANNOYING, BUT IT WAS NOTED ON CONSUMER REPORTS WHEN I RESEARCHED BEFORE BUYING THE CAR SO THERE YA GO. AT THIS POINT THE MAIN FIX NEEDS TO BE THE VIBRATION AT DRIVING SPEED, AND I THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THE IDLING ISSUE TOO. I SHOULD MENTION THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS KEPT IN CONTACT WITH ME AND SAID HE IS DETERMINED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE
AS I REPORTED LAST YEAR, THERE IS A VTC ACTUATOR DESIGN FLAW THAT CREATES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE TEMPS FALL BELOW FREEZING AND IN SOME CASES EVEN ABOVE FREEZING MAINLY DUE TO LACK OF OIL PRESSURE AND THE ACTUATOR NOT LOCKING CORRECTLY. WELL, ANOTHER WINTER HAS COME AND GONE AND THERE IS STILL NO HINT OF A FIX FROM HONDA. THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO DAMAGE OCCURRING BUT ANY TIME I HEAR METAL ON METAL I BEG TO DIFFER. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS POINT I AM LOOKING AT OPTIONS SUCH AS TRADING THE VEHICLE IN AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SERIOUS DAMAGE IS BEING DONE EACH WINTER WITH METAL ON METAL GRINDING. HONDA SURE HAS LOST THEIR PRESTIGIOUS CLAIM OF RELIABILITY IN MY EYES. SADLY THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA PRODUCT AS THEY DON'T SEEM TO ADDRESS CUSTOMER CONCERNS IN ANY KIND OF TIMELY MANNER. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
NEW 2015 HONDA CR-V IS EXPERIENCING STRONG VIBRATIONS IN IDLE. FELT IN SEAT, PASSENGER SEAT, STEERING WHEEL, GAS PEDAL, MIDDLE CONSOLE, ETC. I ALSO FEEL VIBRATIONS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, GAS PEDAL, AND CAR ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. I CAN EVEN SEE THE PASSENGER-SEAT BACK SHAKING WHEN IN IDLE. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES IT'S A PROBLEM, BUT DO NOT HAVE A TIMEFRAME OF WHEN FIX WILL HAPPEN. NOT SURE WHAT DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO CAR DURING THESE HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATIONS. HOW CAN ANYTHING THAT AFFECTS THE DRIVEABILITY OF CAR NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN? HARD ON THE HANDS TO HOLD ON TO VIBRATING STEERING WHEEL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE, THESE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ASAP. *TR

CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT VIBRATIONS WHEN RPMS ARE IN LOW END OF RANGE. I BROUGHT IN FOR THEM TO LOOK WITH 1169 MILES ON ODOMETER ON MARCH 18 AND WAS TOLD IT IS "CONSISTENT" WITH OTHER CRVS. I STATED THAT VIBRATIONS WERE IN THE RANGE OF 1500-2000 RPMS. AS OF APRIL 14, ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE, WITH VIBRATIONS RANGING FROM 600-2500. I NOW FEEL SLIPPAGE DURING ACCELERATION. VERY UNNERVING. I WORRY THE VIBRATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. *TR

SEATS, STEERING
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

1) WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT OUR VEHICLE RECALL PERTAINING TO TRANSMISSION, AND RECALL OCCURRED IN 2011. WE ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION NOW AND FEEL THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE ADVICE US ON WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. RECALL # 11V-395 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER) 2) WE TOOK THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ALARM SENSITIVITY REPAIR THREE TIMES, AND HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ROSEVILLE, CA, WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CAR ALARM CONTINUES TO BE IS OVERLY SENSITIVE AND GOES OFF FROM AIR VIBRATION (FROM OTHER CARS PASSING BY, ETC.) IS THIS POSSIBLY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER DEFECT? PLEASE ADVICE US ON WHAT TO DO. RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR FROM FLORIDA TO NY WITH MY DOG. WHILE TRAVELLING NORTH ON I95 I NOTICED SOME INTERMITTENT BUCKING, HARD SHIFTING, AND GOING INTO NEUTRAL. IT WAS INTERMITTENT SO I ASSUMED IT WAS SOME ANOMALY. AFTER STOPPING AT MY FAMILIES RESIDENCE IN YONKERS NY. I DROVE THE CAR TO RIVERDALE TO VISIT MY MOTHER. AFTER LEAVING THE NURSING HOME I PROCEEDED ON THE RETURN TRIP TO YONKERS. I WAS NORTHBOUND ON THE SPRAIN PARKWAY AND EXITED AT TUCKAHOE ROAD. THERE IS A FULL STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION. I WAS FULLY STOPPED LOOKED BOTH WAYS AN INCHED OUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ( THE VISIBILITY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE EASTBOUND DIRECTION IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF AN INCLINE AND THE ROAD HAS HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUME DURING THE DAY) I AM NOT CERTAIN IF THE CAR SLIPPED BACK INTO NEUTRAL OR THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME FAILED TO MAKE A FULL STOP. I WAS HIT RATHER HARD IN THE REAR END. WITH OR WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION CONCERN THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT OBEY THE STOP SIGN. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION AND REPAIR FACILITY. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN WAS ASSESSING DAMAGE HE PERFORMED A ROAD TEST AND FOUND THE CAR HESITATING AND SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. HE CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND FOUND THEM TO HAVE A BURNING SMELL AND BE BLACK. I HAD ONLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND CHANGED IN JANUARY. AND PRIOR TO THAT LESS THAN 5 MONTHS EARLIER. *TR

MY CRV STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES WITH IGNITION IN SEPT 2014, APPROX. 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM KINGS HONDA IN CINCINNATI, OH. DURING ROUTINE SERVICE AT KINGS HONDA I INQUIRED ABOUT THE GRINDING AND WAS TOLD THAT " IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR IN THE CRVS AND THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO HONDA." THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HONDA WAS ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM SOON. I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL YET AND I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED WHILE MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT FURTHER ACTION I NEED TO TAKE. THANK YOU *TR

RECEIVED NHTSA RECALLS 14V-349 & 14V-351. CALLED LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS. IT'S BEEN OVER 6 WEEKS, AND TODAY I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER 4-8 WEEKS TO GET PARTS. THIS RECALL IS FOR AIRBAGS, WHICH MAKES IT A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. NOT ONLY ARE THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR FAULTY, BUT THE COMPANY WHO ISSUED THE RECALL CAN'T SUPPLY THE PROPER PARTS TO THE LOCAL DEALERS. HONDA SHOULD BE FINED BIG TIME!!! IF I GET IN A CRASH AND I AM INJURED, HONDA WILL HAVE A HUGE LAWSUIT! *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
