“On 7/11/23, I reported issue to my Honda dealership and headquarters (had case number) regarding reduced visibility impacted by driver’s side mirror vibrating, leading to dizziness and inability to clearly see cars using that mirror. Field representative drove car and said he couldn’t duplicate the issue. Still having issues with vibrating mirror.”

NHTSA complaint #11561595, filed 2023-12

“When we purchased a vehicle, it appeared to have some kind of overspray and film on the front windshield. They attempted to polished or buff out the windshield which didn’t really help. While normal driving it’s hard to notice but when really refracts the lighting, which makes it extremely difficult to see. The dealer Tracy Honda is attempting to polish out the window. Once again, we will see if this makes a difference.”

“On August 15, 2023, the rear windshield on my 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring spontaneously shattered while parked in the garage. The shattered glass was primarily contained within the rear storage area, but also on the garage floor. After consulting with the dealer, I drove it to the dealership (Apple Tree Honda in Fletcher, NC) where it was examined by the service manager. There were no symptoms of failure prior to the spontaneous shattering. Resolution pending at this date.”

“Hood shakes like crazy at sppeds over 60 MPH, brought to dealer and they said it was Normal and there is nothing they can do. it is shaking badly and I worry it will pop up and cause an accident. Not pleased with this at all. Second thing is it has developed a loud wind noise on passengers side a pillar near the windshield it seems. Going in to the dealer for them to look at that next week, as was not present when new, and we have now about 12,000 miles on it and it is about 10 months old. …”

“December 2022 two weeks after I leased the vehicle from Roush Honda, due to severe cold weather the driver side mirror cracked and I immediately reported to the dealer with photos via email communication. For 4 months I drove the car unsafely unable to use the driver side mirror, this caused anxiety, stress and dangerous especially merging on the free way and change left late. 4 months after, in April 2023 The dealer replaced the mirror to make the situation worse, and I reported immediately to the dealer. …”
