NHTSA Complaint #10683081 — 2015 HONDA CR-V

THE CAR VIBRATES HEAVILY AT IDLE. THIS VIBRATION FAR EXCEEDS ANY VIBRATION I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. ALL PASSENGERS CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION, BUT IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - WHEN EMPTY IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE VIBRATION IS SO PRONOUNCED THAT I HAVE A HARD TIME FOCUSING MY EYES RESULTING IN EYE-STRAIN. THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE VIBRATION (DESCRIBED BELOW) OCCURS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED BY MOST TEST-DRIVERS AND SO HONDA IS DECEIVING THE PUBLIC BY SELLING THIS CAR. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ARE DOING NOTHING TO SOLVE IT AND THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THE CR-V. THIS IS SHAMEFUL. MY FINDINGS: 1. THE STRONG VIBRATION / SHAKING HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY WHEN: A. ENGINE IS WARM 5-15 MINUTES B. AT A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE C. THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ENGINE (ALL ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS ARE OFF - LIGHTS, AC , RADIO ETC) D. RPMS DROP TO JUST ABOVE THE 500 LINE 2. THE STRONG VIBRATION / SHAKING COMES AND GOES CYCLICALLY WHEN: A. ENGINE IS WARM 5-15 MINUTES B. AT A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE C. THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ENGINE. SUCH AS: AC OR MANUALLY TURNED ON RUNNING LIGHTS - HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CYCLE VARIES, BUT IT WILL DO SO EVENTUALLY. THE RPMS CYCLE BETWEEN THE 550-600 (HARD VIBRATION / SHAKING) AND 750-800?? (AGAIN NOT SURE OF THE EXACT READING) WHICH PRODUCES A MUCH MORE TOLERABLE (ALTHOUGH STILL VERY ANNOYING) VIBRATION 3. THE STRONG VIBRATION SHAKING DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH OF A LOAD ON THE ENGINE TO HOLD THE RPMS STEADY AT THE HIGHER IDLE RPM MARK OF APPROXIMATELY 750-800. ALTHOUGH, THE LESS PRONOUNCED (ALTHOUGH STILL VERY ANNOYING) VIBRATION REMAINS. A. MOST CONSISTENT THINGS TO DO THIS: AUTO-LIGHT FUNCTION WHEN ENGAGED WITH LIGHTS ON & MANUALLY TURNING ON FILL NIGHTTIME LIGHTS . *TR
