This is the fifth windshield (including the one I bought with the car) I am on with my 2017 honda crv. Every january/february it seems my car's windshield "cracks" for unknown reasons. I have been driving my same commute for ten years. Never in those years have I had to replace my windshield on other cars. Since getting my honda, I have had to replace it! These cracks take place after the vehicle has been parked and when the temperature changes. This is causing multiple insurance claims as a result- impacting my insurance. I'm also fearful of my children's and my safety due to these random cracks. I do not trust my windshield in case of an accident. I'm actually considering trading this vehicle in because of this issue. Honda needs to do something now.. Tonight was actually the fifth time this happened after I parked my vehicle (after actually having my honda serviced).
2017 Honda CR-V visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 37 of 37, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The windshield on my honda cr-v cracked from the very bottom on the passenger side. I noticed there's a crack that seemed to have begun while the vehicle was parked. I'm terrified that there's something seriously wrong with this windshield and I am to scared to drive passengers in a car with a defective windshield.

The right mirror lane indicator malfunctions at different times. The malfunction indicates that there is a vehicle in the right lane when there is none. Honda refuses to look into because it doesn't happen all the time. Iv'e had it to the dealership 4 times but the problem is not showing up as a malfunction code.when the malfunction occurs the right mirror indicator light remains on and if I try to use my right turn signal the system beeps as if there is a car in the right lane when there in none. This problem has been on goings from the first week I purchased the van.
Front wiper blades don't have full range of motion. I noticed this at about 35,000 miles. I brought it into the dealer at 40,000 miles to have it checked. The technician diagnosed worn gear teeeth on front wiper motor, and that it needs to be replaced. Honda will only pay 50% of the repair cost. Wiper motors should not fail so quickly.
Radio turns on and off, radio stations switch around, brightness goes up and down, phonebook gets run through and calls random people, google maps history starts being displayed as if someone is looking up my location, windshield wipers go on and off. Radio volume turns way up. I unplug my phone and someone will reconnect it using bluetooth. It has been happening 3 times a week over 6 months. Dealership has no security updates for me
The windshield has some sort of defect at the drivers eye level. Causes distorted view of road and other vehicles. Ron tonkin honda has taken pictures but the honda rep never shows up in portland
Honda recall sb 18-114 2017cr-v is completely unacceptable.. Before the fix my cr-v heated up ,& had heat with 2miles.. Now the temperature gauge does not move for 10 minutes.. & there is no heat.. The cr-v was fine before this fix.. I returned to the dealer to have them re-check this recall.. They say that this is normal now.. The recall was intended to make the cr-v heat up quicker , not slower.. I'm just letting your know this, and I will also let the federal safety agency know. As this may now be a safety hazzard. As there may not be enough heat to defrost the windows. Per the crvoc.com : what you can do ' go on record and report the problem to the dealership, to corporate honda, and to
No heat while idling cannot defrost windshield. Honda dealer states crv does make heat when driving at speed. How I drive at speed when crv cannot defrost / clear ice buildup from windshield even after idling for 30-45 minutes ? Un-safe in dallas, tx
Windshield cracked by changing temperatures.. Glass dealer said windshield glass cracked under body stress.
Ongoing problem with vehicle since new during pa winter weather. Vehicle parked overnight 20 to 40 deg f. Vehicle engine does not warm up when driving even after being remotely stared and allowed to run for 10 minutes. Heater control set to high, fan speed set to low. Temperature gague will rise to one quarter or half normal then drop to the cold position again after a few miles. Temp. Gague will eventually rise again to almost normal but if vehicle is stopped for traffic, red light or coffee stop it will drop down to cold again. All this time (12 to 15 miles) the cabin heat and windshield defrost are performing poorly. If vehicle is stopped and shut down for half to one hour and re-started it will perform properly with normal heater and defrost function.
1. Gasoline leaking in to engine oil. Evident by gasoline smell and high level when checking oil. 2. Poor or no heat in cold weather conditions. This causes a safety risk driving in snowy weather. Windshield will not defrost. Typically happens during stop and go city driving. Service appointment is currently scheduled for 12/6 and issue will be reported to the dealer also.
The 1.5 l turbo engine develops high oil level readings due to fuel contamination. I had several (12) system failure notices appear simultaneously. I took the car to the dealer and they stated that they "found that oil level was over full and smelled like fuel". Also noticed that in cold weather, while driving, the front defroster is not warm enough and can't keep windshield clear resulting in poor or no visibility. This vehicle takes a very long time to warm up. Does not warm up at idle. Takes a very long time to warm up while in motion. The only way I've found to get the engine up to a proper temperature is to turn off econ mode, drive in sport mode and do not turn heater on.
2017 honda cr-v. Consumer writes in regards to malfunction to driver side mirror due to heat from reflection of the sun. *as
Sunroof explosion: new honda cr-v with only 4,420 miles. The sunroof exploded while driving down a state highway at 70mph. No cars or trucks were directly in front of me and no rocks or debris were found by the service repair in remaining shattered glass. Luckily I did not have the sunroof open so the glass particles did not fly into the passenger area, but cars behind me slowed as some glass particles flew from the roof. Honda replaced the sunroof under warrantee but exploding sunroofs are disorienting to the driver and not safe to passengers or other car drivers who catch the flying glass particles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 honda cr-v. While driving out of a parking lot, a loud popping sound was heard.

The manufacturer was informed of the failure and case number: 08822895 was opened. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
We were driving on a highway when we suddenly heard a large explosion. We thought something had hit us. By god's grace, no other vehicles were near us. After we recovered from the shock we realized that a large noise was coming from above. In fact, the sunroof had exploded. When we got off the road we found that 70% of the glass was gone. There were no vehicles near us, and certainly nothing above us.

A lot of us are having heating issues with our 2017 cr-v (1.5 turbo). The real problems start at about 15 degrees fahrenheit.the car will not heat up with normal city driving the engine temp gauge stays at 0. The colder it gets outside the worse it is. Cause we have already seem much cooler temps than 15 like -15.if I drive on the hi-way the engine temp gauge will raise to normal operating temp although the cabin air never really gets warm it is better than nothing, worst heat output of any vehicle I have ever owned once I leave the hi-way and get in the city the engine temp gauge will go back to 0 if I have to stop and wait at traffic lights.on my way to work the car can be at normal engine operating temp I stop at a gas station to get a drink leave the car idling get back in less than 2 minutes and the engine temp gauge is back to 0 again.so I decided to run some test.I checked the cr-v outside temp pretty warm at around 30 fahrenheit.temp set to hi fan on hi, temp out vents was 140 fahrenheit this is not passing by the manufacturing standards I found on the web.temp set to hi fan speed low, temp out vet 155 fahrenheit this is 15 degrees warmer which show even at 30 degrees fahrenheit outside air temp the heating system can't maintain its temperature with fan on hi. Test was done at 70 MPH.cold start test temp and fan both on hi outside temp around 30 degrees fahrenheit 10 minutes idling cr-v vent temp 80 fahrenheit. I did the same tests on our rav4 and the temps were 30-40 degrees higher on average and this was with warner temp outside air like I said it start to get bad at 15 degrees fahrenheit.this is a safety concern cause if cold and snowing the cr-v doesn't have the power/heat to defrost windows / melt the falling snow in a snowstorm.this is a design problem that many of us are having and we need honda to step up and fix.honda needs to look at look at a
Car is garaged (unheated). This am, the windshield wiper fluid would not spray even though I heard the spray motor running. I tried the spray in my wife's 2017 accord and the spray worked. In my 60 years of driving with many different cars, this is the first time this has happened and we have had plenty of freezing days over the years. The spray lines must be in an exposed position and this is a dangerous situation. With cars ahead of you on the road throwing up snow, salt, etc. Onto the windshield and you cannot clean it, the visibility will be obscured. If this is not corrected, those with crv's will be hard pressed to drive on snowy days.
Vehicle in motion on highway during winter weather. Windshield fluid nozzles froze. When attempting to clean the windshield with the windshield fluid, the wipers come on automatically for three sweeps. Because there was no available fluid, the wipers smeared the snow, dirt, and salt on the windshield, resulting in zero vision. Before attempting to clean the windshield, I had some visibility. After attempting to clean the windshield, I had no visibility. This "convenience feature" of automated wiper swipes is therefore dangerous and should be banned.
Faulty windshield glass. My vehicle's windshield cracked due to what appears to be weak oem windshield. When I turned on my vehicle defrost a slight crack appeared which continued on to spread along the bottom, near the defroster. A google search shows multiple complaints about 2017 windshield cracking for a myriad of reasons that don't have to do with an accident. The honda dealership where the vehicle was purchased refuses to replace the windshield unless I pay over a $1000. Now, in order to avoid my insurance going up, I will have to pay over $500 to safelite to replace it. Again this is not an isolated issue.
Windshield wipers in auto mode operate erratically and unpredictably. Even with selector knob at the most sensitive position, the wipers often fail to operate even when the windshield is completely covered with water, with no operation for about 30 seconds or more. When driving down the road with a light rain, wipers fail to reliably operate to maintain clear visibility even with the selector set at maximum sensitivity. A common scenario is driving in a steady rain with somewhat normal (though erratic) operation and then stop at a stop light. When the vehicle is not moving the windshield can become totally covered with rain and the wipers do not come on for an extended period of time, seriously impairing visibility. After the driver realizes that they can no longer see clearly through the windshield, manual intervention is needed to move the wiper selector to a continuous operating mode to clear the windshield. Vehicle was inspected at the dealer for proper wiper operation. Upon arrival the service writer used a hose to spray large amounts of water on the windshield with the wipers in the auto mode and the vehicle idling, and made sure water was covering the raindrop sensor at the top of the windshield. The service writer confirmed a long reaction time before the wipers engaged. Technicians inspected the wiper operation in the shop and claim that it works as intended. Apparently the wipers are either failing to operate according to the design intent, or there is no malfunction and the design is flawed. In either case, relying on the auto mode presents an unsafe condition due to impaired visibility.
Vehicle parked at the side of a rural road, while eating lunch. Came back and front passanger window had exploded. Nothing stolen and no evidence of impact from any object. Glass had 3m laminate. This makes it the 3rd report here regarding exploding glasses.
Bought a 2017 honda crv this march. Drove fine for 3 months & 3k miles. On 6/7/17 the rear windshield exploded. The car was stationary at my work place. It was a hot 92 degree day. A coworker drove by & heard a loud pop & she notice my damaged window & cane to notify me asap. The glass clearly exploded because all indications of the bulging of glass has puffed outward from my car. There's a huge 1 foot wide hole in the center left, it looks like when a chick is hatching from its egg. There's only 2 chunks of glass broken from the hole, one into car, the other rested outside the hole on the wiper. If anything hits it, the glass would of shattered in the center & the would shows white big stress-marks expanding from the hole. Yet none. My whole window shattered starting from both ends of the rear windshield, disconnecting the whole glass from the car. I work as a qa member & we supply parts for honda. I measure many of the parts we supplied. So I'm not stupid to mention to honda my glass exploded. I did my research & came across many of these problems, even some were reported here in this forum. I took great pic & videos of the incident & showed both my dealership & honda corporate & expressed greatly that this is a safety concern. Perhaps a bad defect like a bad defrosting unit where it fails to shut off after engine shuts off or basically defect within the glass during manufacturing process with nickel sulfide in glass. Honda does not cover glass under their warranties so as soon as I mention broken glass, they divert around my questions or gives other possible causes. I'm a qa member who makes & measure parts for them I'm not that dumb. Yet honda will not investigate this when it clearly concern custoner's safety, mine to be exact. Now I have to spent $500 to fix it & I felt honda could of look into this, physically. There clearly is a defected factor somewhere.
