The windshield wipers on my 2007 Civic have been replaced 4 times since the purchase of the car in October of 2006. The wipers streak so badly that I cannot see out of the windshield safely. Upon taking the car back to the dealer, they admit that there is a problem that they have experienced with other vehicles, but that the new wipers are only a temporary fix. They have used several different compounds on the windshield to attempt to "erase" whatever problems are causing this issue. They have used a "clay" that is used in body shops to "scrub" down the window. This works momentarily. There is a bigger issue that Honda is not yet addressing. They claim that it is the elements which are responsible for this problem. I refuse to agree with this as this is my 5th new vehicle, and the other 4 had wipers that worked perfectly for over 2 years before needing to be replaced. I am severely annoyed that I've had to keep returning to the dealership and I am still getting no real solution.

For the last two days, after having my oil changed for the first time on my new Honda Civic hybrid, I was unable to get the windshield washer solvent to spray onto my windshield. (January 27/28, 2004) this presented a serious hazard since the inclement weather made it necessary for road crews to lay a geat deal of salt and sand on the highways to combat the freezing rain . I took the car to the dealer on the morning of the 28th to complain about the problem. The service rep said I should go across the the street to cherrydale auto parts and purchase the yellow solution that was good to sub freezing temperatures which I did. After putting the new solvent in the reservoir the problem was solved. I would like to know, however, why it is that dealerships are allowed to use substandard products in their service which may potentially harm their customers and their customer's families. Is it a policy of Honda u. S. To produce excellent cars and then have the occupants killed so their dealerships can save pennies on the windshiiel washer solvent they use in their scheduled service maintenance. There is a good reason that the wipers and the delivery of solvent to the windshield is part of a vehicles safety inspection. Brown's arlington Honda used substandard solvent that could have resulted in my death. I was told that many had complained of the same problem. They then sent me across the street to solve the problem myself. Truly this is pennywise and pounds foolish.
