Windshield wipers and washer do not clean windshield off leaving a large area not cleared off

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Visibility · CA

The design of the wiper blade cleaning procedure is awful. Water dribbles out of the wipers when trying to clean the windshield. The small amount of water that dribbles out of the wiper blades barely wets the windshield, thus making it very hard to completely clean the windshield of dirt and mud. This is a serious visual driving safety issue, because the low amount of unequally spread water smears the dirt around on the windshield making it difficult to see through the windshield, especially if there is glare from the sun; rather than having enough water sprayed onto to the windshield like every other car, to completely clean the windshield by the wiper blades.

The wipers stop far short of the window edge leaving approximately six inches of window on the drivers side that does not get swiped. Rain, snow and debris constantly build up in this area impeding visibility. Also, the spray comes out of the wipers, but only releases when the wipers are halfway through the sweep, again not allowing the windshield to clear properly. When driving in snow, I have to pull over and manually clear the edges and bottom of the windshield. This is dangerously. Not only can’t I see well, I have to pull over in the side of the road and exit my vehicle to clear the window. The dealer says the wipers are operating as designed, but designed for what, clearing the windshield or causing accidents?

The wiper system and washer sprayers, especially on the passenger side. There’s an 8 inch path on the top of the wiper on the windshield. It does not clear away the dirt and salt and creates a visibility hazard. I took it to the dealer and they said normal all of them do it. It’s very hazardous and it’s a safety related issue. Honda needs put an additional sprayer on that location or install hood and mounted sprayers so that we are perfectly safe with visibility. This looks like a common problem on all the Honda CRV’s.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in cold weather, the windshield wiper was activated, but the windshield wiper fluid failed to disperse and the windshield wiper failed to engage immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a second dealer, Hamilton Honda (655 US-130, Hamilton Township, NJ 08691); however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact sent a letter to the manufacturer to notify them of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

Washer fluid pours out onto windshield instead of spraying. This causes excessive use of washer fluid and a windshield that is not being cleaned effectively resulting in possible hazardous driving conditions due to visibility issues.

Driver's side mirror has a distorted view and vibrating, most noticable at highway speeds, especially at night. Took it to a dealership and they were not able to recreate the problem both times it was taken to them. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk as the mirror has a distorted view, making it extremely difficult (nearly impossible) to accurately judge if a car is in the lane next to me when I wish to change lanes.

The panoramic sunroof glass on my 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid spontaneously shattered while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied in an indoor garage for approximately one week. There was no external impact, airborne object, or temperature extreme involved. The vehicle is stored in a covered underground parking structure. The glass shattered inward, with fragments falling onto the driver seat, passenger seat, center console, and floor. The sunroof frame shows no signs of external force or impact point. The vehicle had approximately 5,194 miles at the time of discovery. No warning lamps or prior symptoms appeared before the failure. The component is available for inspection. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealer or manufacturer representative, though I intend to bring it to a Honda dealership. This issue poses a significant safety risk, as spontaneous shattering of glass over an occupied cabin could cause injury to passengers. I am aware of a class action lawsuit (Tappana v. American Honda Motor Co., Case No. 2:21-cv-09046) alleging Honda has known about this sunroof defect since 1995.
