Two problems related to engine cooling system have been reported for the 2015 Honda CR-V. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2015 Honda CR-V based on all problems reported for the 2015 CR-V.
The contact owned a 2015 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that after she made a right turn into a parking lot, the vehicle shut off while driving up an incline(speed unknown) without warning. The contact placed that vehicle into neutral and attempted to restart the vehicle but each attempt failed. A white smoke began to emit from the hood of the vehicle and an off duty fire fighter came to her assistance with a fire extinguisher; however, the smoke turned black as flames began to emit from engine. The fire department was called to the scene and the fire was eventually extinguished. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer was notified of failure but offered no assistance. Upon investigation, the contact linked her failure to NHTSA campaign number: 15v121000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
At idle speeds (at stop sign or red light), the car vibrates. The front seats start shaking quite a bit - the problem goes away only if you switch to neutral or put additional load on the engine (I. E. , turn the a/c or heater on). Reading various forums, this problem appears to be widespread. Honda even acknowledged the problem in a video posted in April and yet they continue to sell the car. The video can be found here - youtu. Be/a6k6jph7zak. I just bought the car two days ago and now I am stuck with it. Honda doesn't have a fix either. I should be able to return it but apparently there is no "cooling off" period in California.
