CarComplaints.com Notes: Some vehicles alert you if you fall asleep behind the wheel, but the 2015 Honda CR-V has a different approach: just shake the heck out of you so you never fall asleep in the first place.

When I am going up roads towards any down roads, that means any up position to down position then my car stopping and not moving forward and the engine making big noise. I feel the engine trying to shut off itself. It is very dangerous for me also for other drivers on road. Other drivers thinking I pressed my brake but not. I am not pressing brake. My vehicle is Honda CRV 2015 and mileage is 62000.
Car cuts out shortly after starting while backing out of driveway several times per week. Restarts after stopping, and putting in park. Has happened 75-100 times from 2019-now(4/29/20)
Serpentine belt broke at just over 38,000 miles. I had just gotten off I95, no lights on the dash, nothing unusual happening. Upon breaking to slow down, there was a bad smell and then smoke. This was in less than 1 block from the exit.
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.

The problem I am facing with my vehicle is when it is motion, sometimes it loses strength in the engine. This also happens when I try to climb high elevation roads. Looking on the web I found my issue in the following recall "17V305000" and the description is the following: "the reduced performance may result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash." I have taken my vehicle to the dealer, triangle Honda, and I have followed all its recommendations of arrangement which have been the following: Replacement of the starter, replacement of spark plugs, replacement of injectors, change of engine oil, etc... none of the following nothing they have recommended and repaired has solved the problem. I ask you with favor and with great respect that due to the seriousness of the situation, which can lead me to an accident, consider adding my vehicle to the recall "17V305000" because according to the summary of it needs a replacement of the engine.

I'm having continued issues with the engine's vtc rattling and random engine speeds. It has been repaired once but the rattle ahas returned and is worse. No service lights are present.
In early 2018, around the 80K mileage mark the oil light came on. The car was due for it's oil to be changed, checked the oil level and it appeared dry. Purchased a 5 qt bottle and emptied almost all 5 quarts into the oil tank. The car had been sounding funny for a couple of weeks, but never considered the oil level an issue or the cause of the funny sounds. Once I filled the tank the sound disappeared. Had the oil changed by the dealership 2 days later and commented on the issue. An oil consumption test was recommended. Went back at 1000 miles after the oil change and was told all was fine. Skipped further oil consumption testing at this point. At the next oil change (5K miles later) was told my tank was down nearly 4 quarts. Decided to go through the oil consumption test again. 1st test, down 1 quart 2nd test down 3/4 quart 3rd test down 3/4 quart. Was told by service manager that 1 quart/1000 miles, is considered acceptable my Honda standards/policy. A search of the internet revealed that there are many other 2015 Honda CRV owners with the same complaint with no resolution/satisfaction by Honda. This issue with excessive oil consumption may lead to premature wear on engine parts and possible engine fire since dealership can't explain why there is excessive oil being consumed or possibly leaking when on the highway.
I was driving car on city street about 40 miles hours, tried to accelerate twice, car started slowing down. The third time I tried to accelerate. The car finally begin to accelerate. The second time was driving on city street and went to yield right of was before making a right turn. I slowed to yield then accelerated the car stalled as it was stopped. I tried to accelerate again and then the care accelerated slowly. Another car came through red light and was right on my bumper when my car stalled. This is very dangerous.
My problem with my Honda CRV happens first thing in the morning but intermittent. So when backing the car out of garage it will feel like it's gonna to stall or shake sometimes stalls car or almost stalls. I have taken the car to dealer but unable to duplicate problem. My first time to dealer and told them of problem was told Honda was aware of problem and I would be contacted once they had a fix. I'm still waiting. I also bought to other dealerships and no luck. I still have vehicle warranty and hoping to get problem fixed. Thanks for your time, corey
The motor stalls when making pulling away from a dead stop. I have noticed this in particular when making a turn from a dead stop. It has almost got me hit a few times and this has happened numerous times. I contacted my dealer when this first happened and they said it needed a software update which they did, it didn't fix the problem. It doesn't do it all the time as it is sporadic but when it does do it it makes it very dangerous when making a turn and oncoming traffic is coming towards me. Honda will not address this issue with this vehicle for me.
The car stalls while moving slowly in reverse. This is dangerous in two ways. Way one, while moving in reverse the car stalls, and thus I stop moving when I and the people around me thought I would continue. The second way is I often end up reversing more quickly when I feel the car beginning to stall, this keeps the car from stalling but causes me to move in reverse faster than I would like to. This usually happens when the car is started from a cold start (after sitting overnight).. this issue has been happening to me for at least half a year. Not every time I start the car, but at least once a week. I bought the car new in June 2015. Also in general the car shudders significantly while idling in drive. I fear that soon the car may start stalling in drive as well while it is idling. Many people report these same issues online, and a recall should be done before the problem gets worse as the cars age.
My car began shaking while I was driving on the highway and shut down as I was driving. Was towed to Honda, they couldn't find anything wrong, fixed a recall and sent me back out on the road. It then happened a second time, car started shaking while driving and shut down as I was driving on a main highway almost killing myself and others. Towed to Honda again and they said a gasket should have been replaced and wasn't viewable to the eye, engine now needs replaced. I see other engine recalls on this car and wonder if this is a part of what happened with my vehicle. It only has 65,000 miles on the vehicle and its such a shame that I now have to either purchase a new engine or sell my vehicle. I've been battling that Honda shop for months now
Takata recall 2.4L vtc actuator replacement I have had a few Honda with this engine it is very common in this engine the vtc system relies on proper oil pressure and allows the vtc actuator to make continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions. Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power. If an error occurs, the vtc system control is disabled and the valve timing is no longer variable. This should be repaired sooner rather than later to avoid a potential check engine light possibly accompanied with rough idle and/or lack of power or stalling
Gas improperly leaking into the oil. My original engine failed with no root cause analysis confirming the problem. The dealership installed a different used engine and after 2,500 miles on oil installed in December 2018, sent the oil to a blackstone labs for testing on Feb 1, 2019. They confirmed high levels of gas in the oil. My original engine had a catastrophic failure and it will be repeated again if we cant get Honda to own this problem.their response so far is there is no problem. This problem seems to happen during the winter months in the midwest. The first sign is the oil dipstick showing oil levels rising over weeks. The final result from the lowered combustion temperature of the oil is an event which converts the remaining oil to sludge which causes engine failure within a short time frame after the car cools down. It's not clear how the high levels of gas in the oil causes the engine failure or how the oil converts to sludge within weeks.
Vehicle (with 89,000 miles) experienced misfiring and major loss of acceleration while traveling uphill at highway speeds. Upon removing the cylinder head, the dealer noticed significant carbon buildup on intake valves and bent valves. Owner had followed all required manufacturer maintenance and used top tier gasoline, but kept rpms low while driving. Manufacturer's extended warranty initially would not cover despite known carbon buildup issues with gdi engines and lack of scheduled maintenance covering intake cleaning. Ultimately, cylinder head and fuel injectors were replaced under warranty.
