“The windshield is badly distorted. It looks like bubbles inside of the glass making visibility extremely difficult. I can not see out of windshield and am concerned that being unable to see I will end up in a crash. Honda dealer refuses to replace windshield stating it is an insurance issue. It is not an insurance issue; it is clearly a manufacturing defect.”
NHTSA complaint #10525958, filed 2013-07, 25,000 miles“I purchased a 2010 Honda cr v in november of 2009. In january the vehicle had around 2300 miles. My wife and I took a vacation and left the vehicle parked in her parent's private driveway. Four days into our vacation, my father-in-law noticed that our driver's side window was foggy looking . He got closer to the vehicle and noticed that the tempered glass window was spider-ed and pushed out toward the exterior of the vehicle. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the window. The dealer would not honor our warranty, but still replaced the window. …”
NHTSA complaint #10300407, filed 2010-01, 2,300 miles“Had 2 cracks on my 2010 Honda CR-V windshield in 3 days. Latest one happened when I was driving home and I heard a loud pop and felt debris on my hands and arms. There was no car in front of me and I just passed the vehicle head of an 18-wheeler on the other side of the road and suppose it was a rock that hit my windshield. It broke through the first layer of the windshield (created a hole about the size of a quarter) and shattered the second layer with several 6-8 inches of cracks going in all directions. The debris I felt were the broken pieces from shattered glass. …”
NHTSA complaint #10345896, filed 2010-07, 6,230 miles“The windshield popped driving down the road without anyone in front of me to get something thrown onto the window. It spider web split from the bottom in between the windshield wipers all the way to where the rearview mirror is attached before it stopped cracking. This split happened without 20 minutes of driving once it popped.”
NHTSA complaint #10349300, filed 2010-08, 8,042 miles“I think this is a very generic problem on many cars. Please see a photo attached. Many cars have a shiny reflective stainless steel logo in the center of the steering wheel. Sometimes, the shiny logo reflects sunlight directly to the eyes of the driver. No shiny objects inside a car, please.”
