2018 Honda CR-V: windshield wiper failure

Filed Dec 18, 2019 · Visibility · 30,000 miles · NC

Noticed a line at the bottom of the windshield when getting out of the car last week. Got out to investigate and saw a thin line running the length of both windshield wipers. The crack was in the black part of the windshield at the defrost line. The crack seemed to spread after cold nights. I have informed my honda dealership and am waiting to hear from them.

Problems first presented: auto door lock malfunction, auto- rain sensing wiper malfunction would come on when dry, not come on when wet; navigation system went crazy on the highway flashing on and off when using it; twice the auto breaking system came on when on the highway with nothing in front of me....going 50 MPH! I very well could have been rear ended. I saw no obstruction on the road. I have had the vehicle in twice to the dealer only to be told it does not happen and they have no bulletins regarding these issues.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. After parking and locking the vehicle, an audible was heard. The contact stated that the alarm sounded even though the vehicle was locked. Additionally, when the vehicle was parked and the door lock button was depressed, the audible sound for the door lock would sound; however, the vehicle was still unlocked. The contact also stated that the display would occasionally flash on and off and then go blank. Also, on several occasions in inclement weather, the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the windshield wipers ceased to work. Community honda lafayette (located at 1407 la 728-8, lafayette, la 70501, (337) 235-9086) stated that the windshield wiper was programmed to slow down when the vehicle was not moving, which was a feature of the vehicle. An appointment was scheduled with the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000. *bf consumer stated forgot to say as I was going straight on hwy 90- a car was on my right in the turn lane- my car stopped and cops were coming behind- almost slammed are me in the back. Doors not lacking when exited.

In cold weather - below ~15 degrees, the engine fully warms up at highway speeds but temp drops to below the bottom of the gauge if you exit the highway or get into traffic jam . At less than highway speed/bumper to bumper traffic, heat/defroster not warm enough to keep windshield clear. Glass/wipers ice up.

On multiple occasions, all warning lights and dash warnings come on, all driver assist functions stop working. This has happened both while stationary and while driving at a high rate of speed. I've taken it to the dealer, and they say no errors come up. Additionally, yesterday, my wipers started up on their own after opening the tailgate (the car was off at the time) and I couldn't get it to stop. I tried starting and shutting down the car multiple times, as well as disconnecting the battery. (the wipers stopped when the battery was disconnected, but started back as soon as I reconnected it.) after multiple attempts, with the wipers still on, the problem stopped on its own.

The front windshield trim pieces on the exterior of the vehicle are designed such that there is a trough or channel that runs up the height of the windshield on both sides. The depth of the channel varies; being deeper at the bottom of the windshield and tapering down to less deep at the top of the windshield. When driving in the rain with the windshield wipers on, water is deposited into the driver's side channel by the wiper when the wiper completes its upward stroke. There is no where for the water to go. As the wiper begins its downward stroke, the pooled water is pulled out from the channel and travels horizontally across the windshield. The result is that 2-3 inches of the left side of the windshield on the drivers side becomes unusable when driving in the rain. This actually makes quite a bit of difference in visibility on rainy days and seems unnecessary and unsafe. I attached a picture because this was hard to describe. The picture shows a standard mechanical pencil stuffed into the channel. I angled the pencil slightly for the picture so that it is visible, as the entire pencil fits into the channel.
