Vibration noise - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

OldGuy · 09-10-2011, 08:32 PM

I have a vibration that seems to be coming from the dash area left of the steering wheel. I am unable to determine the exact cause. I am hoping that someone else had this issue and knows the solution. It is most noticeable at lower speeds on rougher surface roads. I appreciate any information anyone has to offer.

Sounds like the same noise I've had for a little while now. I am pretty sure mine is the switch on the steering wheel for the bluetooth handsfree. Next time you hear the noise try putting a little pressure on the side of that switch.

I'm curious now to see if maybe someone else had the issue. I'm taking mine in later this month and am going to have the dealer fix it then.

If it's like a buzzing sound, I get it sometimes too from the same region. Seems normal?

Same. I thought it was loose change in the side-door compartment.

I'm having this problem too, it is really annoying. Seems to be a common problem. Off to dealer tomorro. Will see what they say

Hi, i'm from italy and i have the same problem!
Do you have any news?

Still have not had time to take it to the dealer to get checked out. I will definitely post the fix if I get one.

I also seem to have this issue. Sometimes the vibration stops if I touch the air vent or the shiny black area around the driving mode buttons.

This might sound crazy, but try adjusting the seats, back and forward and tilt back and forth. I had a buzzing in the passenger's area, and I adjusted the seat tilt up a little and it stopped. Was driving me nuts for a couple days.

Update on my vibration. Now that I actually have the time to take it to the dealer the vibration has stopped. I now wonder if it is temperature related, as the warm weather here is definitely over.
