During the failure, the vehicle could not be turned off or shifted into gear. The gear shifter was not functional, and the battery had to be disconnected to turn the vehicle off. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer on several occasions and the computer, battery, remote starter, and starter were replaced; however, the failures persisted.

I broke down on the road the car was still on but was not moving at any direction.

The center dash display has a compass. It blinks nonstop and is very distracting—especially at night. I have asked my Honda dealership about safety recalls or software updates several times, and have been told that there are not any updates or fixes. I feel this is a safety issue mainly due to the distraction caused by the constant blinking and not knowing if the direction is actually correct.

I purchased a 2015 Honda CR-V on 01/16/2024. The suv has been blowing hot air for the last 2 weeks. I took the suv to a Mechanic Shop. They input freon. The suv started making loud noises. It was throwing the freon all over the engine. I was warned that the sludge would damage the engine and belts. I was told not to push the A/C button since lots of damage can happen. The repair is $2800.

While driving on highway at 70 mph on cruise control, the transmission went out of gear causing the engine to rev and the vehicle to slow. Pulled over to side of road, turned off engine, turned it back on and could not get transmission to go into any gear. Had to be towed

Driving car made a rattle noise in the engine compartment. Driving I lost power on the freeway. Engine light came on. Had it towed. No one wants to touch the problem being the actuator. There is no fix for it according to dealer. Problem will occur again & again.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH with the cruise control activated, she noticed traffic stopped ahead and depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was able to stop immediately; however, when the contact released the brake pedal, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated and crashed into another vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The front driver's side air bag deployed. The failure recurred when the contact released the brake pedal while the engine was revving. The contact depressed the brake pedal and shifted the transmission into park (P). The vehicle was then turned off. The contact's hands were burned as a result of the air bag deployment, but she did not receive medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard but was not yet deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

Car shaking vigorously when stopped in traffic and gears is engaged in drive mode, engine and transmission make loud noises when driving in low RPM between 1000 and 2000.

The starter button must be pressed multiple times to start the vehicle. Have had an attempted repaired twice and problem persists. I understand there is a recall for this problem in other countries.

My 2015 Honda CR-V, at 128,547 miles, with remaining oil life @ 30%, the check oil light is flashing. Took it to the dealership and was told the car was 3 quarts low in oil. After diagnosis, I was told I needed a new engine because my the oil being lost is actually backing up into the engine. To replace the engine would cost me out of pocket $7527.72, because the car is no longer under warranty. Really, at 128,547 miles to replace the engine when the car was purchased and has been serviced by this same dealership? Something is wrong with this picture. I purchased a Honda based on it's decent reputation to stand behind their product. But Honda Corp advised me today that I'm just at a loss in this situation. They have no intentions of making this good for the customer! What a let-down!

A serious accident that totaled the car happened. The driver side curtain airbag did not deploy and the driver broke her wrist. Side curtain airbags on passenger side opened even though there was no passenger in the seat. The driver steering wheel airbag did deploy. Car appears to have been hit head on based on the damage that I saw.

I was driving 55 miles an hour on a country road and a transmission completely disengage from the engine. There were no warning signs or messages on dashboard at all about any kind of transmission issue

I have a 2015 Honda CRV and approximately 18-24 months ago the battery went dead and I took it to the Honda dealer. They checked the battery and said it was fine. I thought perhaps I left my lights on. A short time later, the battery went dead again. I took it back to the same dealer (February 19, 2022) and they gave me a new battery. A short time later, the battery went dead yet again. I returned to the dealer (August 1, 2022) and they gave me a second battery. A short time later, it went dead again. I returned to the dealer (October 26, 2022), insisting to them it couldn't be the battery - there must be something else wrong. They completed a parasitic draw procedure, charged $939.67 and claimed to have fixed it. A short time later, the battery went dead yet again. I returned to the dealer (November 16, 2022) and the service manager told me there was nothing more they could do, they already spent countless time on this issue and that I just needed to drive the car more. On October 13, 2023, the battery went dead yet again. This time, I contacted Honda Customer Service and was assigned a case manager who proceeded to tell me that I needed to go back to the dealer and obtain a diagnosis before they could help me. On October 31, 2023, I contacted the service manager at the dealer who told me he was going to charge me by the hour and that the diagnosis may take many hours to determine. There is clearly a defect with this car! There is a class action lawsuit pending which include

While on cruise control at 70mph car went into limp mode reducing speed and unable to accelerate on highway. Check engine light came on. Rested car on highway, then drove another 1.5hr no issues (not using cruise control) - check engine light was off. Checked oil - oil was clean (done less than 1,000 miles ago). Began trip again, oil light came on indicating need for a change. Vehicle went into limp mode for the second time going 70mph. Check engine light came on for the second time, this time blinking.

My 2015 CRV suddenly had all the crash warning/adaptive cruise control/lane keep assist lights flashing…very alarming…so we brought it to White Rock Honda for to find out what was happening? They diagnosed our Multi-purpose camera is faulty. $2193 to repair…plus $197.12 yesterday to diagnose! We have done nothing to cause this substantial/expensive repair. We are shocked as we are long-time Honda owners, (3 Hondas in the past 20 years) and have never experienced anything like this. Now we are in danger all of our safety features no longer functioning. This this is a huge hardship for us at this time as I just began a gradual return to work this week after an illness. I need to safely rely on this car every day for my long commute from Surrey to Richmond. So as mentioned, this is a hardship that we had no part in causing – and we feel is entirely unfair. We have contacted Honda Customer Relations. We have forwarded the diagnostic receipt, the situation is now in mediation. -Yes, available for NHTSA inspection.

5/28/2023: Vehicle won’t start, AAA called and towed it to repair facility where they claimed they fixed the issue (battery replacement) 6/01/2023: Vehicle traveling WB SR520, where all dashboard warning lights started illuminating. At the same time, steering wheel locks up and infotainment screen shuts off. Was able to get vehicle off the freeway and onto the shoulder of a nearby exit ramp where it eventually died. Called AAA again and had it towed back to the repair facility once again, where this time, the alternator failed.

Engine start failure. Intermittent you never know when it will happen. Several times the car just will not crank you push the button and all you get is a click. Has not been taken to a dealer or service center because this is a known Honda issue. It has been reported multiple times. You will be stranded in the middle of the night or midday it makes no difference you cannot get to an appointment or an emergency if needed. Causes great inconvenience when you are needed to be at an appointment at a certain time in your car will not crank at random times

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road.

My vehicle has had multiple parasitic battery events where the battery has been completely drained overnight. I have replaced the battery six times since May of 2022. I took my vehicle to my auto repair shop and they checked every fuse in the vehicle and could not find the problem. The shop called the Honda Dealer service center to get advice on what the problem might be and the dealer was unable to provide any recommended solution. I suspect the problem has something to do with a faulty automatic door lock/unlock system. When I approach the vehicle with my key fob, the vehicle will unlock the doors without me touching the door handle. When I get out of the car and push the button on the door handle to lock the doors it does lock, however as I walk away from the car, the doors unlock without me touching the door handle or any part of the car.

While traveling with my wife, going north bound on 7th Ave, Oroville, Ca, at 1:30pm, March 27, 2023, at 40 mph, we heard an extremely loud bang, as if we were hit by a baseball bat, or something had collided with us. Weather was clear, scattered clouds and temperature was around 60 degrees. We had no A/C or heat on with drivers side window open about 1 inch. Road was smooth, no potholes or bumps. There was a truck oncoming, towards us in opposite lane, but had not yet passed us when we heard "bang". I pulled over and assessed what it was. Upon looking up, was surprised to see and hear the sunroof glass shattering. I had a roll of electrical tape and quickly used it to hopefully stop glass from falling into car. I drove very carefully home with sunroof shade closed. Upon arriving at home, I proceeded to use clear box tape and secured both top and bottom, of still cracking glass, and at this current time, remains so. As of this date, Honda is back ordered for this glass and is stating it will be 2 months until available.

For a few years now, my 2015 CRV EX has made whinning sounds when driving. At stoplights/stop signs when the vehicle was not in motion, it would shake violently at times. As time has progressed (approx 114000 miles), there is now a grinding and clicking noise that worsens when accelerating. Even in park, the grinding noise has become more noticeable. When going downhill, the gears do not want to change as they should because once I am on level ground, the RPM decreases but does not when car is in motion downhill. At times, my CRV jerks when the transmission finally changes gears. A more noticeable whine/whistling can be heard constantly when my vehicle is in motion. At stop signs/lights, the grinding has become more audible and it shakes to the point of embarrassment. There is a click noise when I start it to let it warm up. As each day passes the symptoms get worse. Additionally, the battery in the 2015 Honda CRV EX must have a bad electrical flaw. I have had consistent battery drainage issues shortly after purchasing it new in 2015. I have had batteries replaced several times. Now, to insure my vehicle will start in the mornings, I have had to disengage the battery terminals overnight and each time I get out of my vehicle. This problem existed basically since I purchased it. There are some serious flaws with this vehicle, and the way it shakes at time along with the straining, clicking, and grinding transmission sounds that something may malfunction and cause me to have an

There is an issue with the VCT actuator in all 2.4 liters engine built by Honda from 2011 to 2016. I have a 2015 Honda CRV and I am worried that it may cause a major breakdown for me on the road or a major accident due to this. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer multiple times for this issue and they refuse to fix it saying it is out of warranty and we cannot do anything. Tried calling Honda corporate customer service and they hang up on me . There are thousands of Honda owners who are suffering with the same issues. Why is there not a recall so far for this fix as Honda was able to resolve this issues with 2017 engine onward. Please look into it or if you need more information I can show you multiple Honda forums with the same complaints. Please force Honda moters Co to own the responsibility of fixing this issue as it is a manufacturing defect, not a regular wear and tear.

I bought this vehicle new. We have 2 key fobs and change the batteries in them when necessary. The past year, a new occurrence developed: one fob will lock the doors but not always allow them to be unlocked. I tried unlocking the doors from inside the car, using the lock/unlock on the driver's arm rest (the windows were open) but they would not unlock. I had to get the other fob to unlock the doors. This scares me!!! I called Honda but was told there have been no reported similar issues, and they told me to go to a dealer. Because the issue doesn't always happen, I can't guarantee the fob will not work when the dealer has the car. I would appreciate advice as to how to handle this issue. Many thanks!

High pressure fuel pump leaking gasoline which you can smell from inside the car.

Car suddenly hesitates while I step on gas at a stop position or running and my mechanic noticed it too, dangerous if it suddenly stop on higher speed traveling, I know there’s no recall on my vehicle but other owners reports of same malfunction on same model year and make of car 2015 Honda crv, please advise

Differential problem, converter torque locked up transmission and froze engine. No engine light or warnings were given, this happened in the middle of rush hour traffic where I could have been rear ended from sudden engine failure and was very dangerous for me to exit my vehicle for help. I had the vehicle repaired at Lithia Honda Medford oregon.

Power steering failed.

There is a current active class action lawsuit against Honda motors regarding the battery draining issue in Honda CRV'S. The case is in the United States District Court southern district of Iowa central division. Case # [XXX]. The lawsuit mentions Honda CRV'S dating back to 2017. My wife owns a 2015 Honda CRV that has the same exact battery draining issue. Her CRV was recalled in 2018 for a software update that was supposed to correct the issue but it didn't. Since 2018 my wife and I have had to replace the battery 3 times in 4 years. On November 16th, 2022 we replaced the battery with a new one and just 19 days later that brand new battery was dead. This Honda battery draining defect obviously goes further back than 2017. Honda dealerships along with Honda motors are aware of this problem and doing absolutely nothing about this. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The power steering light intermittently comes on and nearly locks the steering wheel. This occurs without warning while driving. Turning the vehicle off and on sometimes resolves the issue. This occurs without warning and makes steering very difficult. My mechanic confirmed the vehicle is showing a code for the power steering system and said the only solution was to replace the electronic motor. The warning light does not come on until the steering wheel stiffens up. This has occurred many times at various speeds. There seems to be no pattern. Sometimes it does not happen for a week or two, other times it happens multiple times in a day.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that after completing a routine oil change and tire rotation, the TPMS warning light continuously remained illuminated. While the vehicle was parked, the vehicle moved and made an abnormal transmission sound. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

Vehicle stalls when in reverse and backing up after it has sat for a period of time, sometimes as little as 16 hours. While backing up, the vehicle stalls and shuts off.

Passenger side air bag sensor came on showing it to be defective. Had to pay to be replaced due to safety (air bags could fail to deploy).

My daughter recently experienced a braking system failure in our 2015 Honda CR-V EX while backing down a steep driveway. She has reversed the car down the same driveway many times in the past without incident. This time, she was unable to stop the vehicle, despite pushing on the brake pedal as hard as she could. The brake pedal was very firm while she was pushing on it, even though the car remained running throughout the incident. Fortunately, nobody was injured and the car stopped after jumping a curb and hitting a dirt embankment. She was able to use the rear-view camera to navigate the CR-V down the driveway and across the road to its final stopping point, narrowly avoiding hitting an oncoming car. Upon inspection, our local Honda dealership could not find any problems with the braking system. The pedal is no longer hard to push and the brakes are working normally again. Given the symptoms and the information my dealership provided, I requested a replacement of the brake booster. However, no cause for the failure was identified and the dealership did not provide any repair recommendation since the problem is not reproducible. Here's brief answers to the specific questions presented on the NHTSA vehicle complaint form: - What component or system failed or malfunctioned? Brakes - Is it available for inspection upon request? Yes - How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My daughter was unable to stop the vehicle with the brakes and almost hit an oncoming car.

While traveling approximately 65 mph on a heavily traveled, two-laned interstate portion with minimal emergency lane access, my vehicle suddenly lost all power: first slowing down and struggling for power around 40 mph, then, completely shutting down and losing all power leaving the vehicle completely without any power and minimal control to exit the roadway or move to a safer location. I managed to coast and pull my vehicle over to the side of the interstate just after a busy cloverleaf on-ramp and on an overpass and call for assistance from the State Highway Patrol who in turn called for a tow truck. On-ramp traffic was unable to move over to the left lane as they were on-coming and merging with existing interstate traffic, coming dangerously close to myself and the State Trooper at times. So much so, I truly feared for my safety and the safety of the trooper. Also, because of the location, I was unable to get out of my car and stand to the side out of harm's way. The vehicle was diagnosed at the Honda Dealership in Tucson as a "complete transmission failure" and would have to be replaced with a new transmission for approximately $6,000.
