2023 Honda CR-V Visibility & Wipers Problems

Windshield wipers have inconsistent force causing it to hit the pillars of of the driver side periodically. Damage could occur to both the arm and the vehicle frame due to repeated impact. Visibility is also affected since the wiper does not clear all of the rain water and causes chattering.

The vehicle was backed into a parking spot in the last row of a parking lot; no one would be behind the vehicle. It was parked for 2 days and upon returning to it, the rear window was broken. A hole about the size of 2 fists was present, along with a horizontal crack from the hole to the edge of the frame. Up until this break, there was no indication of any issue with the window/glass.

The wiper blades fail to go to the edge of the window on the driver's side. It leaves a gap of about 2-3 inches from the edge of the window pillar uncleaned. In heavy rain or snow/ice or in the case of cleaning a dirty windshield, this gap limits the driver's visibility while driving. Also, having the windshield wiper fluid come out of the blades rather than spraying directly onto the windshield is useless as the fluid comes out while the wipers are half way up and fluid then gets pushed off the windshield and flows down the driver's side window again affecting the driver's visibility.

Wiper fluid is not disbursed from wiper blades until blades are in full LEFT swipe position. No fluid is disbursed on the way up to that left position, so all fluid from driver side wiper blades goes off the side of windshield or just pools there. Very little fluid from the passenger side blade goes onto windshield in front of driver. There is no way to get fluid on passenger side of windshield, since fluid comes from top of blade, which is pointing left in straight up position when fluid is disbursed. This is a terrible design. I run out of fluid frequently and cannot see to drive is messy, Ohio winters. This happens each time I use the wiper fluid, not just on the random January date I selected.

The windshield wipers do not clear the windshield completely and the reversing point for the drivers side wiper is inconsistent, leaving a wide uncleared gap of varying widths. Honda dealership says this is normal and will no repair the wipers.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, there was a loud explosion on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact discovered that the exterior passenger’s side glass mirror had suddenly shattered. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact stated that no object had impacted the vehicle to cause the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 11,000.

The Driver's Side mirror glass vibrates excessively while operating the vehicle at highway speeds. This mirror glass vibration causes distorted images to be seen in the mirror and can disorient the driver while the vehicle is in motion.

As my car was warming up, I was standing near the driver door and hear a *tink* noise. When I got into the car, I saw that my driver side mirror had a single vertical crack straight down the middle. There was no point of impact and when I first approached my car not even 5 minutes prior, the mirror was perfectly intact. For all intents and purposes, the mirror has spontaneously cracked. The dealership I took it to has refused to replace the mirror under warranty although my car is less than two years old and only has 10000 miles. The crack distorts visibility considerably. This is a known issue with 23-24 CRVs with a lengthy thread on Reddit detailing similar experiences.

The windshield wipers do not remove water and always leave a film. This film will not go away with defrost, extra cleaning, washer fluid. I replaced the blades and still the reflective film remains. It is extremely hazardous to drive because all light reflects off the film and horribly impairs vision. Honda refuses responsibility. Also, the washer fluid does not clean windows either. Dust also becomes highly reflective with light and horribly impairs vision. Someone needs to fix this asap or there will be multiple accidents. I am not the only one with this dangerous problem.

The driver's side mirror repeatedly shakes at speeds above 40 MPH and is very prolific at highway speeds (especially 70 MPH). It is extremely disorientating and makes it difficult when trying to get an accurate read of surroundings when changing lanes. I had the mirror glass replaced at a dealer, which only made the issue worse. Another dealer replaced the entire mirror assembly, which seemed to solve the problem temporarily. However, it resumed less than a month later and may even be getting worse.

Drivers side mirror shakes. Dealer indicates common problem. Would not fix

The driver side mirror cracked. No impact to mirror; it happened overnight while vehicle was parked in my garage.

Passenger side mirror on door cracked after getting into freezing temperatures. No impact caused damage.

When we purchased a vehicle, it appeared to have some kind of overspray and film on the front windshield. They attempted to polished or buff out the windshield which didn’t really help. While normal driving it’s hard to notice but when really refracts the lighting, which makes it extremely difficult to see. The dealer Tracy Honda is attempting to polish out the window. Once again, we will see if this makes a difference.

A crack in the passenger side mirror randomly originated. No damage to the mirror assembly. The crack originated from left bottom side and extended toward the center in a singular curved line.

The wiper fluid is delayed, making the fluid not make it on windshield and all go to the side window. It works when stopped but when driving the fluid goes to the side od windshield and the driver side gets zero fluid and the passanger side gets dry and streaky. Very poor design. Reddit group concerns as well

Back glass exploded. Vehicle was not running at the time of the incident. Went to load toddler into the car, the glass fell into the trunk as I shut the rear passenger door.

On August 15, 2023, the rear windshield on my 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring spontaneously shattered while parked in the garage. The shattered glass was primarily contained within the rear storage area, but also on the garage floor. After consulting with the dealer, I drove it to the dealership (Apple Tree Honda in Fletcher, NC) where it was examined by the service manager. There were no symptoms of failure prior to the spontaneous shattering. Resolution pending at this date.

On 7/11/23, I reported issue to my Honda dealership and headquarters (had case number) regarding reduced visibility impacted by driver’s side mirror vibrating, leading to dizziness and inability to clearly see cars using that mirror. Field representative drove car and said he couldn’t duplicate the issue. Still having issues with vibrating mirror.

Driver’s side mirror vibrates when the car is going at highway speeds. The passenger side mirror is unaffected. The vibration makes the mirror difficult to use at higher speeds.
