Visibility/Wiper
The defroster blows only cold air on the driver's side. It is still warm/hot on the passenger side. I live in the northeast and when you can't see out the windshield to drive it becomes a serious problem. During the winter the car is basically undriveable unless you let the entire interior warm up for 20-30 minutes, not exactly the fuel fuel efficiency i was looking for in a honda vehicle

The heater-defroster does not work in the winter. The windshield starts to frost over on the drivers side making visibility very poor. This happens at any speed or driving situation. This vehicle has only 31,000 miles on it. After doing research, i found on the honda forum that this is a very common complaint with this year of cr-v. Many complaints had less mileage than my cr-v. Honda knows about the problem but…

Heater core keeps clogging causing only cold air to blow on driver side

Visibility/Wiper
Corrosion from the radiator builds up in the heater core and causes the drivers side defrost to be insufficient. In weather below 25 degrees, ice easily forms on the windshield and the defrost can't keep up because it isn't warm enough. Vehicle has had heater core flush multiple times. It's time to realize that components are failed and need answers. The proper functioning of the defrost is essential in safe driving.

A known tsb shows that honda is aware that issues with the radiator/heater core is causing drivers side heat to be considerably less than the passenger side. This inadequate heat supply to the drivers side causes ice to easily accumulate and stick to the drivers side windshield in virtually any weather conditions below 20 degrees farenheit. This causes much concern for visibility and varying precipitation and…

The driver side heat vent blows out cold air in my 2014 honda crv. This is a known issue to honda and they have not done a recall. This cold air causes the windows to not defrost and, therefore, difficult to see in certain weather conditions. I have had the heater core flushed once and the issue came back within 15,000 miles. It is a recurring issue that should be recalled as it is unsafe driving with frosted…

The driver's side air vent blows cold air out of the vents and towards the windshield. Thus, i am unable to properly defrost my front windshield on my 2014 honda crv, causing a possible safety hazard. Honda knows about this problem and has issued tsb #14-063 to fix this problem, but yet refuses to do any sort of recall. The tsb calls for a flush of the heater core with clr and then that should fix the problem until…

Summer 2016, driving at highway speed, the closed sunroof "exploded", violently shaking the car. Upon inspection, the remaining glass was bowed outward, and the closed sun shade had no damage. There was also no nearby overpass, or much traffic - in other-words, so evidence that a rock or other projectile broke the sunroof from the outside going inwards

This car only has one adjustment for both the high and low headlights. Currently the low beams are adequate when using factory setting. When high beams are selected, the near vision of the road is lost and the high beams shine too high. If adjustment is made to lower the high beam so that it provides distance vision and road vision then it lowers the low beam vision of the road to a few feet in front of the car.…

This letter is to report my dissatisfaction with my 2014 honda crvs driver side, outside, rearview mirror. At the least, the distortion of this design is a distraction, at the worst it is clearly a safety issue with the inability of the driver to quickly determine what is being reflected in this mirror. Please offer a replacement mirror without the split designed reflecting surface. *tr

The front windshield wiper drags water across the windshield on the drivers side during the return swipe from the side of the windshield back to center, obstructing my view when driving. The harder it rains, the worse the obstruction is. I've taken video with my phone and given it to the dealer. They changed out the wiper blade in case that was the problem, but it continues. It is very bad during heavier rains and…

The windshield wiper causes visibility problems when it comes back to the center. The rain was mild to moderate and the wiper pushed the water to the side of the windshield, as expected, then at it returned to the center, it pulled water back over the drivers side of the windshield so that i could not see. Is there a recall for the wiper system? *tr

Driver wiper blade is 26 inches long. Passengers blade is 16 inches long. This size difference leaves a water line on passengers side and waits for the drivers wiper to remove it. This is extremely annoying during moderate or heavy rainfall. I feel this is poor engineering on hondas part and an immediate recall should e issued. *tr
