“My driver side mirror gets extremely shaky especially when I'm on the highway with speeds over 50miles. The image gets distorted, which makes us dizzy while driving. We are afraid the mirror will crack while driving and we'd have no way seeing. This is too dangerous. Brand new car and all these issues we have to deal with. Too frustrating. I want a solution from Honda asap. Thank you.”

NHTSA complaint #11624289, filed 2024-11

“Driver's side mirror has a distorted view and vibrating, most noticable at highway speeds, especially at night. Took it to a dealership and they were not able to recreate the problem both times it was taken to them. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk as the mirror has a distorted view, making it extremely difficult (nearly impossible) to accurately judge if a car is in the lane next to me when I wish to change lanes.”

“I copied the following from another complaint, as it describes the problem perfectly: My windshield wipers are ineffective. The liquid cleaner does not spray until the wipers are pointing out, thus causing the liquid spray to roll off the car and NOT clean the spots in the driver's field of vision. The miniscule amount of liquid left on the wipers simply smears the debris on the windshield resulting in a driving hazard”

“Windshield cracked with a small rock, vehicle is brand new and only has 150 miles on it. I’ve read several complaints from others with this same issue. Their glass seems to be very thin or poorly made. Very frustrating. Did not happen in my previous cars.”

NHTSA complaint #11669914, filed 2025-06

“Today (Saturday) was the coldest day since I got my car and I used the remote starter to heat up the car. When I got into the car 15 minutes later there was a crack in the side mirror that was not there the last time I drove it (Thursday) and the car was parked all day yesterday (Friday). I believe the cold temperature combined with the heating element in the mirror caused a crack in the glass. It looks like other CRV owners have had similar issues.”
