The driver's side mirror wobbles. I took it to a repair shop and they confirmed that it was not the mirror but the base of the side mirror that is attached to the car door that wobbles. They said that it is a manufacturing defect. The passenger side mirror does not wobble. This seems to be a PREVALENT issue with Honnda CRVs online - the wobbly driver side mirror. This is uncomfortable to look at while driving - it can give you a headache or make the driver dizzy. Honda needs to make a recall about these defective drive-side side mirrors. We have a 2017 Honda CRV. My daughter recently got the car so I do not know how long this problem has been going on.

2017 crv has 20k miles. Drove to golf course parking lot. Upon return saw 10 inch windshield crack on drivers side lower left. Spontaneous crack with no impact. Class action lawsuit information on web, including testimonials from hundreds on various chat sites, seem to indicate an inherent defect in the vehicles windshield/frame interaction. Internet information seems to suggest this widespread problem is impacting 2017-2019 crv's.

Center console unit refuses to dim under any lighting conditions. Attempting to manually dim it results in momentary dimming and then return to full brightness. This makes it very difficult to see at night and requires that I shut off the center unit completely in order to drive safely. According to honda this is a known software issue on the whole range of 5th gen crvs but they have not issued any fixes.
