2017 Honda Cr-V window and wiper problems

VISIBILITY/WIPER

The driver's side mirror wobbles. I took it to a repair shop and they confirmed that it was not the mirror but the base of the side mirror that is attached to the car door that wobbles. They said that it is a manufacturing defect. The passenger side mirror does not wobble. This seems to be a PREVALENT issue with Honnda CRVs online - the wobbly driver side mirror. This is uncomfortable to look at while driving - it can give you a headache or make the driver dizzy. Honda needs to make a recall about these defective drive-side side mirrors. We have a 2017 Honda CRV. My daughter recently got the car so I do not know how long this problem has been going on.

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 WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES. THIS IS CAUSING MULTIPLE INSURANCE CLAIMS AS A RESULT- IMPACTING MY INSURANCE. I'M ALSO FEARFUL OF MY CHILDREN'S AND MY SAFETY DUE TO THESE RANDOM CRACKS. I DO NOT TRUST MY WINDSHIELD IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I'M ACTUALLY CONSIDERING TRADING THIS VEHICLE IN BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING NOW.. TONIGHT WAS ACTUALLY THE FIFTH TIME THIS HAPPENED AFTER I PARKED MY VEHICLE (AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING MY HONDA SERVICED).

THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE DEVELOPS HIGH OIL LEVEL READINGS DUE TO FUEL CONTAMINATION. I HAD SEVERAL (12) SYSTEM FAILURE NOTICES APPEAR SIMULTANEOUSLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY "FOUND THAT OIL LEVEL WAS OVER FULL AND SMELLED LIKE FUEL". ALSO NOTICED THAT IN COLD WEATHER, WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT DEFROSTER IS NOT WARM ENOUGH AND CAN'T KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAR RESULTING IN POOR OR NO VISIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP. DOES NOT WARM UP AT IDLE. TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP WHILE IN MOTION. THE ONLY WAY I'VE FOUND TO GET THE ENGINE UP TO A PROPER TEMPERATURE IS TO TURN OFF ECON MODE, DRIVE IN SPORT MODE AND DO NOT TURN HEATER ON.

SUNROOF EXPLOSION: NEW HONDA CR-V WITH ONLY 4,420 MILES. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. NO CARS OR TRUCKS WERE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND NO ROCKS OR DEBRIS WERE FOUND BY THE SERVICE REPAIR IN REMAINING SHATTERED GLASS. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE THE SUNROOF OPEN SO THE GLASS PARTICLES DID NOT FLY INTO THE PASSENGER AREA, BUT CARS BEHIND ME SLOWED AS SOME GLASS PARTICLES FLEW FROM THE ROOF. HONDA REPLACED THE SUNROOF UNDER WARRANTEE BUT EXPLODING SUNROOFS ARE DISORIENTING TO THE DRIVER AND NOT SAFE TO PASSENGERS OR OTHER CAR DRIVERS WHO CATCH THE FLYING GLASS PARTICLES.
