    This is the fifth windshield (including the one i bought with the car) i am on with my 2017 honda crv. Every january/february it seems my car's windshield "cracks" for unknown reasons. I have been driving my same commute for ten years. Never in those years have i had to replace my windshield on other cars. Since getting my honda, i have had to replace it! These cracks take place after the vehicle has been parked and…

    The windshield developed a crack on its own while the car was parked in a covered parking. There was no impact/damage. The crack seems to be caused by pool design/workmanship

    Visibility/Wiper

    When the outside temperatures got to about the 15 degree, it became apparent the defroster and heating system would not work until the vehicle was run on the road at highway speeds for several miles. I ran the engine at idle for over twenty minutes and there was absolutely no heat produced through the defroster. Consequently, the windshield and side windows could not be defrosted or cleared of ice. Vision was…

    Visibility/Wiper

    I went through two windshields made by honda for this car. I get a chip or crack in the windshield almost monthly. I've also owned a honda element and honda civic. Every single windshield made by honda is exactly the same. The chips are a danger to visibility and to the structural integrity of the windshield during an accident. For the latest windshield, i went to henderson glass and they installed an aftermarket…

    Visibility/Wiper

    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.

    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

    Visibility/Wiper

    The windshield on my honda cr-v cracked from the very bottom on the passenger side. I noticed there's a crack that seemed to have begun while the vehicle was parked. I'm terrified that there's something seriously wrong with this windshield and i am to scared to drive passengers in a car with a defective windshield.
