Electrical complaints dominate owner reports for the 2015 Honda Crosstour. The most common issue owners describe is intermittent no-start or hard-start behavior, where the vehicle requires multiple attempts before it will fire up. Several owners report this persisting even after starter replacement. A smaller cluster of complaints involves grinding noises from the engine compartment at startup, sometimes accompanied by warning lights, though dealers have had difficulty reproducing the problem during service visits. Structural complaints center on paint peeling, particularly on white vehicles, with owners describing progressive delamination across multiple panels. A few powertrain-related reports mention unexpected vehicle movement during braking, where the car appeared to surge or lunge forward despite the brake pedal being applied.

Total Complaints
By System
The 2015 Honda Crosstour has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
Both frontal airbag recalls describe the same underlying defect in the passenger-side inflator module, where an explosion can scatter sharp metal pieces toward anyone seated in the vehicle. This is the well-documented Takata inflator issue that affected a broad range of Honda and Acura models over multiple model years. On the side curtain airbag side, certain Crosstours built in a narrow window between late September and mid-November 2014 may have side curtain airbags that do not fully inflate in a crash, reducing the protection they provide to occupants in a side-impact collision.
