| Description of the problem | my newly purchased 2015 honda crv was just 4 days old from the dealership, when i drove to work from my home (35 miles into my commute). I was going from 55 mph to 45 mph when the car started to vibrate. The vibration was noticeable because i felt it in my hands, while gripping the steering wheel, and on the drivers-side floorboard. When i made it to work, i parked but kept the car on. The gear shift was in "drive" and the vibration continued. I moved the gear shift to "neutral" and you can actually hear the sound of the car change and the vibration eased a bit. It's very upsetting to know that when i asked the honda dealership if they were aware of the problem, they said only 1 person complained, but that they've sold hundreds of crvs. Today, aug 5, 2015, i brought in my honda to the dealership (they were aware that i was bringing in the honda and they were nice to give me a "loaner" car) while they did an inspection. They immediately said it sounded like it was a wheel alignment issue. Later that afternoon, when i picked up the crv, i was told that the dealership service department didn't find any problems and that it's safe to drive. I asked them if they've received any notification about the vibration issue. That's when they gave me a honda tech line summary article dated april 7, 2015. If the honda dealership had disclosed that information, i would not have purchased this vehicle!! I asked one salesman specifically about any recalls or complaints and i was told there were none! Please do something about this problem!!!! |
