2015 Honda CR-V Body & Structure Problems

Vehicle unlocks if you approach it, all doors unlock without using the keyfob or putting your hand into the drivers or front passengers door handle. This happens with both keyfobs. Fresh batteries are in both keyfobs.

MY BATTERY KEEPS RUNNING DOWN, EVEN AFTER I HAD IT REPLACED BY AAA. TOOK IT TO KINGSPORT HONDA AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT. THEY SAID IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE THAT WAS DRAWING DOWN THE BATTERY. THEY ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT TO MAKE SURE THEY PUT A METER ON IT. THE HANDEL HAS GOTTEN SO HOT IT HAS VISIBALY DAMAGED THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL. THEY ONLY WANT 795.00 TO REPLACE THE HANDLE. SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE

Paint is starting to peel from the lower edge of the upper sill of the lift gate.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the sun visor failed to stay secured, potentially obstructing visibility. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the visor would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.

While driving during clear weather and around no highway overpasses, the sunroof on our Honda CRV spontaneously shattered. No evidence of an object or projectile were found.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION ON HONDA CRV ESPECIALLY 2015. I RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MINE. WHILE PARKING IN A SPACE, THE GAS PEDAL TOOK OFF AND I RAN INTO A ANOTHER PARKED CAR.

THE EXTERIOR REAR LIFT GATE DOOR SWITCH SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS (BELOW APPROX. 30 DEGREES F.). IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY IN COLD CONDITIONS THE REAR GATE CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE IS ALSO NO EASY WAY TO OPEN THE GATE FROM THE INSIDE QUICKLY.

THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. WE COULD HEAR NOISES WHILE DRIVING AS IF ICE WAS SLIDING OFF THE ROOF. EARLIER, WE THOUGH NUTS WERE HITTING THE ROOF. IN RETROSPECT, IT HAD TO BE PIECES OF THE SUNROOF AS WE WERE IN SOUTHERN LOUISIANA. NO PEOPLE WERE ON OVERHEADS OR TRAFFIC AROUND US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE INTERMITTENTLY BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK HONDA EASLEY (4609 CALHOUN MEMORIAL HWY, EASLEY, SC 29640, 864-236-4187), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,236. *TT CONSUMER STATED CAR IS BEING CURRENTLY LOOKED AT BY BREAKAWAY HONDA AND CANNOT FIURE OUT THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 11/30/18*JB

2015 HONDA CR-V SEVERE VIBRATIONS FELT IN VEHICLE WHILE IN DRIVE- IDLE (STOP LIGHTS, SIGNS, SITTING IN DRIVEWAY) OR SLOW SPEEDS. SO SEVERE CAUSING HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. ALSO, EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR A FEMALE TO SIT ON WHILE THAT INTENSE. IN A BAD WAY. TOOK TO PRIORITY CHESAPEAKE IN VIRGINIA FOUR SEPARATE TIMES, WHERE THE FOURTH TIME BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE IN THE FIX. THEY ADMITTED THIS WAS NOTICED IN THE 2015 MODEL, AND IS NORMAL FOR THE 2015 CR-V (ALBEIT NO OTHER CR-V HAS THESE ISSUES). BOTH AMERICAN HONDA AND DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSE ANY ASSISTANCE IN REACHING A SOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CR-V. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE AFTER PARKING IT IN A GARAGE, IT CONTINUED TO RUN WHILE IDLING. AS A RESULT, CARBON MONOXIDE FILLED THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT AND HIS SPOUSE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS ACCIDENTALLY LEFT RUNNING., DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING EQUIPPED WITH PUSH START. UPDATED 11/08/16.*JB

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING. I COULD NOT MAKE THE CAR STOP WHEN I MADE A RIGHT-HAND TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING SPACE. I DAMAGED THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AS I SIDE-SWIPED THE REAR BUMPER OF A TRUCK. IT SEEMED THAT THE MORE I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE, THE MORE THE ENGINE SPED UP, AS IF I WAS PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE FLOOR MAT IS ANCHORED. I HAVE VERY BIG FEET (SIZE 16 WIDE). THE GAS PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL ARE VERY CLOSE.

BOUGHT THIS VEHICHLE MONTH AGO. AROUND 1000 MILES ON ODOMETER NOW. VEHICHLE HAVE TERRIBLE VIBRATION WHEN STOP IN DRIVE GEAR AT STOP LIGHTS OR IN SLOW TRAFFIC. VIBRATION ARE STRONG AND MADE ME NAUXIOUS IN SLOW TRAFFIC ONE DAY. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER BUT THEY NOT ACCEPTING IT AS A PROBLEM BUT SAYING ITS A CHARACTRISTIC OF THIS VEHICHLE. THEY UPDATED THE ECM SOFTWARE BUT PROBLEM STILL THERE. I AM AFRAID THIS CAN GET WORSE AND RESULT INTO MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURE OR SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA SHOULD FIND THE FIX OR STOP SELLING

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR BINDS WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT WAS REPORTED TO SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA IN ON 8/15/15 AND AGAIN ON 3/4/2016. THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM CLAIMING THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DCH HONDA ON 7/16/20, THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THEM. A CLAIM WAS SET UP WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, CLAIM NUMBER 11441768. HONDA IS NOW REFUSING TO PAY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE BACK MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

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.

ON MAY 2ND, 2015, WE PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CR-V. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE A WATER STAIN WAS NOTICED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE B PILLAR ROOF. PART OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT INCLUDED REMOVING THE STAIN THAT SEEMED TO BE FROM A PARTIALLY OPENED SUNROOF DURING SHIPPING. THE STAIN WAS REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. A SHORT TIME LATER ANOTHER WATER STAIN DEVELOPED IN THE SAME AREA. AGAIN THE STAIN WAS REMOVED AND THE VEHICLE CHECKED. AFTER THE CR-V'S THIRD VISIT TO THE SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN "INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SEAL SEALER" WAS USED IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY. OUR HONDA HAD TO BE SENT TO AN OUTSIDE HONDA APPROVED BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. ON DISCOVERING THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, WE NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF OUR "NEW" VEHICLE. GIVEN THE FACT IT HAD SUSTAINED WATER DAMAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO BE PROPERLY REPAIRED WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES. WE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT WATER BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF METAL ROOF PANELS. IN TURN THAT COULD LEAD TO RUST, WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE RELEASE OF THE SEAM SEALER THAT HELPS PROVIDE THE RIGIDITY NEEDED FOR ROLLOVER CRASHES. ALSO, THE CONCERN OF MOLD DEVELOPING IN THE ROOF AND CARPET. UPON HEARING OUR CONCERNS THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO TRADE IN OUR WATER DAMAGED CR-V FOR A NEW ONE. WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES THIS CR-V ALSO DEVELOPED A ROOF LEAK. NOW THE DEALERSHIP AND BODY SHOP HAS HAD OUR CURRENT CR-V TWO WEEKS, TO FIX THE LEAKED CAUSED BY HONDA NOT USING ENOUGH SEALER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF PANELS AND RAIL STUDS.HONDA IS NOW USING OUR CR-V AS FIELD REPORT CASE STUDY TO SUBMIT TO HONDA ENGINEERS. WE WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL OUT OF CONCERN FOR OTHER CR-V OWNERS. MANY OWNERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF MOLD DANGERS AND STRUCTURAL ROOF WEAKNESS.

UNUSUAL VIBRATION WHEN CAR STOPS AT RED LIGHT. IT IS SO DISTURBING THAT I FEEL NOT COMFORTABLE IN THE DRIVING SEAT. I AM STARTING TO HAVE NAUSEA AND MY BACK ACHES (PART TIED WITH THE SEAT, BECAUSE VIBRATION) IF I DRIVE IN TRAFFIC FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR AND I WAS NEVER TOLD BY THE DEALER OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS A KNOWN ONE AND I FOUND IT LATER WHEN I STARTED GOOGLING. THIS IS A CASE OF BREACH OF TRUST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BUYERS IGNORANCE AND IS AGAINST THE FAIR SELLING PRACTICE. I CALLED UP HONDA ON THE VERY 1ST WEEK, MOST LIKELY ON THE 3RD DAY AND LODGED MY GRIEVANCE (CASE NO[XXX]). I HAD SPENT CLOSE TO $30000 ON THE CAR AND I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS [XXX]. I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED BOTH BY HONDA AND THE HONDA DEALER. ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS NOW I AM DRIVING AND STILL HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS EFFECTING MY HEALTH... HONDA SAYS IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SAFETY HAZARD IN THE WEBSITE, BUT IT DOES HAS HEALTH HAZARDS WHICH HONDA CANNOT DENY. MY COMPLAINT IS GENUINE AND THE DEALER HAS ENDORSED IT AS WELL LATER SHAMELESSLY IMMEDIATELY IN THE VERY FIRST WEEK AFTER THE SELL WAS COMPLETED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
