So over the past few months, my CRV seems to have a shaking issue. The problem is that sometimes when I come to a signal stop or stay idle for a while the car starts vibrating. However if the car is shaking and I put the car in park or I turn the heater on to the max , the vibration stops. The shaking doesn't always occur. It seems like a ON and OFF problem. Do you know what could be the problem?
What makes this problem better or worse?
worse when its cold outside

Hello, some of these vehicles may have a known issue with vibrations coming from the engine as kind of normal byproduct of engine operation. However, mounts and supports in the right places end of the right design tend to dampen the vibration to make it less noticeable.
The affected vehicles would be 2015 models, as 2016's were already updated. I'm mentioning in case the year is in error for some reason as listed in your question.
Beyond that, hands on testing is required to find out what's going on. "On and Off" problem sounds like extra load hitting the engine due to air conditioning compressor turning on and off -- which can happen even with the heater on, as it works to dehumidify the interior. When the compressor turns on, it adds a load to the engine. This can cause different vibrations and idling conditions.
Have a shop near you look at it and see if there are worn or broken engine mounts, engine performance concerns, or other issues.
