2015 Honda CR-V: windshield wiper failure

Filed Aug 1, 2022 · Visibility · GA

Windshield wipers randomly do not turn on. There is no warning of malfunction I turned them on in rain and they would not start. This could potentially cause an accident in heavy rain. After a few minutes they worked. This has happened 3 times. I looked on internet and there are other Honda CRV owners experiencing similar issue.

The car has starter issues, I've replaced battery, key battery and had mechanic look at relays, starter and push button starter, couldn't fix it. Also during rain, the car has leak problem on the roof area where the indoor lights are located. I've also noticed the wiper blades don't touch the windshield. I have tried different brands and still don't have the blades touch the windshield. I drive car to work 3 days a week and been patient about it. I purchased the vehicle used and had only 17000 miles. Bought gap insurance due to it being used car. When raining it's parked when it leaks during heavy rains. It's takes 5 to 10 attempts when trying to start. I believe the car was involved in accident but not reported. I purchased it in 2018, it has some body damage but didn't question it. Had bad tires and got new ones. Lately I've notice electrical issues when attempting to start. Look at all fuses. Still no starter fixed. Is there any way to check these issues, even honda couldn't solve the starter problems.

When the temperature is below 30 degrees, the windshield wiper fluid does not discharge to clean the windshield. The dealer says that this will happen because the windshield wiper fluid resorvior is close to the bumpber and therefore it freezes. Driving in snow condition is extremely hazardous as you can not clean the muddy windshield. It's matter of time when humans will start to get hurt due to this flaw. Honda needs to own the issue and come up with solution. The wiper fluid will start to work after at least 1/2 hour of driving. The only explanation I got from the dealer that this issue is resolved once the engine warms up, which is not a fact as in my experience the vehicle needs to on for 1/2 hr or more.

I purchased a new 2015 honda cv r. While driving in the rain my windshield wipers were not operating properly. They were leaving a stream of water across my windshield directly in front of my vision, distorting the view of the road. I took my car back to the dealership to have them check it.when I got my car back the mechanic told me he replaced the rubber in the blade and its good to go. With the next rain I saw that I had the same problem. I took my car back to the dealer, they worked on it for a while with out fixing the problem. I was then told that this condition is normal. I did not believe it. I told him to bring out another cr v to see if it had the same wiper problem. It did!!!! I talked several other cv r owners who are have the same dangerous condition and are hoping for a recall from honda to correct this before something bad happens

The window washer system was activated. The driver's side wiper arm assembly detached from the blade assembly, throwing the wiper blade off the car and dragging the remaining pieces across the windshield.
