Driver's side mirror blurry/shaking at highway speeds and any speed going over bumps; which causes some visibility concerns- increasing the risk of an accident when changing lanes. Noticed it day after purchase of new car. Dealer replaced just the mirror-did not fix problem, then dealer replaced the entire mirror assembly-did not fix problem, technician at dealer also test drove multiple new 2018 cr-v's on the lot and found the same problem on every car he drove. After much lobbying/begging(to the dealer and honda customer service) for the problem to be addressed/fixed, honda sent out a field engineer to evaluate, who test drove my car and 2 other new lot 2018 cr-v cars, found mirror vibration and blurriness in all cars with some variability. I was told that there is an acceptable level of vibration/blurriness, or "tolerance" expected, unable to fix the problem because it is considered within a tolerable range. Offered to replace my mirror assembly with another new car mirror on the lot which appeared to vibrate less(but still with some blurriness at times) which I did--some improvement but still see some mirror vibration/blurriness at highway speeds. Never had a new car where I am suppose to expect and tolerate some degree of driver side mirror blurriness. While its irritating and distracting, I believe it more importantly represents a significant safety hazard on the road; especially considering it appears to be a defect on many cars if not all 2018 honda cr-vs. **will send video of mirror at request.
2018 Honda CR-V visibility complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. While driving at an unknown speed, the sun roof exploded outwards without warning. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (luther hopkins honda, 250 5th ave s, hopkins, mn 55343), but the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 800. The VIN was not available.
Side mirror rear visibility, particularly the right-hand side, is dangerously low. For example, when preparing to back into a parking space, one can not see the white lines to guide you in. Our previous 3rd generation (2007-2011) crv had superb side mirror visibility. The only way to correct honda's dangerous and inconvenient design flaw is to offer "reverse tilt door mirrors", which automatically tilt downward when reversing. Ironically, honda, offers this feature in other country markets, but not on any us market crv trim levels. The right side mirror appears to be excessively angled back, not standing out adequately to allow a clear view along the right side of the car. As a result, I can only see the car's bulbous (outwardly curved) right side. The left side mirror can/must be manually lowered to see where one is backing, which most people won't do, amounting to a safety hazard. As for the right side mirror, attached at a severe backswept angle, it is virtually impossible to tilt it downward and see the rearward path. I'm extremely troubled over this glaring safety issue. Visibility is a key element to safe driving, and am shocked the car was certified.
