“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11058254, filed 2018-01, 55,800 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11241279, filed 2019-08, 14,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10790515, filed 2015-11, 3,990 miles“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”
NHTSA complaint #10788952, filed 2015-11, 600 miles“While driving our 2015 crv a day after our initial purchase it began to shake violently at idle. So bad that in stop and go traffic it can cause the driver and passengers to start to feel sick. Honda has acknowledged the issue but says that it isn't a safety concern and it is a characteristic of the vehicle. Additionally the car vibrates and feels as if might die when slowing down at a stop light. The same thing that a manual might do if left in gear when slowing to a stop. Additionally the same thing can occur when initially accelerating. …”
