What owners wrote

I purchased my 2015 honda-crv ex-l on march 17th 2015 from livermore honda in california and my new car driver and passenger seats start vibrating in idle,stop and driving mode with speed more than 60MPH after driving for more than 45 minutes and that causing me back pain and headache and this will cause health hazards in the future and this is a serious safety and health issues. I took my car to honda livermore on march 24th and service advisor informed me this is the characteristic of honda crv2015.

Reported at 20 miles, March 2015 Injury

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). .
