1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

Windshield wipers suddenly stop working properly - they fail to stop wiping when the switch is turned off, the intermittent settings fail to work at all, and when the wipers do stop it is often in the middle of a swipe, obscuring the driver's vision. An internet search of the problem revealed that thousands of Honda owners experience the same problem and that Honda has issued technical bulletins describing the exact problem. This is a serious safety issue because the problem is intermittent and occurs when one is using the wipers. It is also a safety issue in that the failure of the wipers to park properly blocks the driver's line of sight.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2009

Intermittent wipers run on longer than normal and stop in mid-windshield and not at the bottom of the windshield. Experienced this same problem last winter/spring and seems to work fine during warm months.
