2019 Honda CR-V: windshield cracks

Filed Aug 25, 2025 · MD

The front windshield on my vehicle was cracked on four different occassions. Three times when a small stone/gravel hit the winshield while driving. And once while parked outside. My safety was at risk because while driving i was startled when the object hit the windshield and i immediately focused my eyes on the damage when my attention should have been keeping my eyes on the road at all times. Each time i filed a claim with my insurance company. In my opinion i believe the glass does not meet or nearly meet industry standards. Further, I'm retired and do not drive my vehicle every day or long distances. Also, the cracked windshields were replaced with Honda windshields. Finally, i fail to believe I am that unlucky to have had my windshield replaced four times within six years.

Windshield has cracked on its own. There are no Windshields in stock for extended periods of time. There are multiple complaints of this being a problem with this specific year.

Cracked windshield with no impact damage. Happened while car was parked in a carport overnight (12/2/2022). Stress crack is about 8" inches in length originating from drivers side A-pillar under mounding. Vehicle us still under manufacturers 3 yr/36k mile new car warranty. As the windshield is an integral part of the SRS system, we consider this a safety defect.

Single internal 4" long windshield crack developed starting at the Honda Sensing safety suite sensor block built into the top of the windshield. This crack is growing in length on the passenger side of the windshield and is currently about 9" long. There were no windshield overheating or freezing issues (the crack originally appeared on 04/14/2022), no car incidents, or road hazards (like something hitting the windshield). My car is still under warranty but local Honda dealer refused to even take a look at the windshield condition stating that Honda's warranty does not cover windshield.

Multiple system issues with this car, I was told by Honda Sevice manager, “ most people don’t even know what all the features do and don’t know they aren’t workin” WOW!! Most recently (2022)there is a spontaneous window crack, very fine line. Cannot feel crack at all on outside or inside of glass. Not from impact. Crack goes up to black area of windshield about 3.5” long. You can google and see there was a class action lawsuit filed do to Framing defect in CRV that causes windshield to spontaneously crack. (It was settled/ended with the initial plant if settling, without Honda responsibility , so no recall or notice to the rest of us driving this dangerous car) There are several reports of the crack leading to whole windshield shattering. I’m being told to “wait for Honda corporate to decide if they will cover under warranty” Even though the warranty administrator at Lisle Honda looked at it and said it was not from an object. He had to take photos, after marking with pen/ marker to send to corporate for decision. Also, ADAS system malfunctioning, auto emergency braking for no reason, no trafic around, blind spot warning only works sometime, lane departure rarely works, ALL system display as “not functioning” the minute there is even slight fog, rain or snow. Even AWD system no functioning warning. And passenger airbag randomly shows as “airbag off” when an adult is sitting in passenger seat, requiring us to pull over, get out of car, turn car off, lock it, unlock it and get back in to restart (sometimes several times before off light goes away). I have reported all of these problems over the past several years to Honda Lisle to no avail. I’m waiting to see if warranty will cover windshield for defect.

Was driving approx 65 MPH, with no cars/trucks close to me, and as was looking to the left of car, heard a loud bang/pop, which startled me. Sounded like something landed on the forward roof, which nothing had. Car was running smooth, so knew I was not hit or ran over any road debris. I knew the noise came from the forward of the SUV, solooked around front of interior while trying to figure out what happened. Then I saw the windshield cracks sparkling in the sunlight.

Windshield had a crack in the bottom left corner after owning it for two months and nothing hit my windshield. Honda tried to say there was a puck which there wasn't. Had my windshield replaced by safe lite and they used an after market windshield. I was having issues with my vehicle dropping 5-6 MPH when going from one lane to the next.honda duplicated the issue and now honda is trying to say my vehicle is dropping speed because of an after market windshield and I need to have it replaced with a honda windshield. This is a safety issue.
