I was driving in the rain on city streets with the wipers at one of the intermittent setting. Without warning, the wipers disengaged in the resting position - stopped working. I tried repeatedly to restart the wipers, turning them off/on, changing the intermittent settings, changing from intermittent to full speed, different speeds, etc. I even tried using the wiper fluid to see if that would engage the wipers again - nothing worked. I tried repeatedly over a 15 minute period with no results. Then I turned off the car, restarted it, and the wipers began working properly again. (even though the vehicle is under full a warranty, no dealership nor american honda will authorize repair because they've been 'unable to replicate the malfunction'; in other words, when I take it it, the wipers are working again and they can't/won't authorize more diagnostic work to identify the source of the problem. The case # with american honda is #09402884)

Vehicle parked on wednesday afternoon with no problems with the rear window, in my driveway .... Far off the street. My vehicle was not driven or touched since it was parked. Friday morning went out to my vehicle and rear window was shattered. I was on edmunds and apparently this seems to be a honda issue !!!!! I have pictures of the rear window. I called honda and was told my warranty does not cover it and they have no recall for it..... To call my insurance company! My insurance doesn't cover it because the window is less than my $500 deductible! Now I will have to pay out of my own pocket for something that should clearly be covered by honda!!!!

Honda dealer and manufacturer claimed that the wiper of the 2016 honda crv stops 1.5 inch from the edge of the windshield glass. When you are driving, it seems to be a lot of blind spot.
