1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/09/2017

While driving down the fairfax county parkway (westbound between greenspring village and rolling rd) at about 40 or 45mph, the hood on my 2006 Honda crv opened by itself. It flew open and obstructed the window. I had to stop in a travel lane before proceeding to the shoulder at low speed. I'm lucky I wasnt hurt and didnt cause an accident. I had not opened the hood in weeks.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2017

The driver side sun visor of my 2006 crv sags down into my line of sight. Hitting bumps in the road causes it to sag even lower. This is dangerous for the obvious visibility reason, but could also be dangerous in the event of an accident. Honda started making an upgraded replacement part that shouldn't sag, but failed to update the thousands of vehicles affected. I currently have mine tied up with twine until I can get a replacement visor.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2015

The sun visor on the driver's side is stuck, and will not go all the way in the "up" position. The visor is therefore stuck in a position where it bumps against the driver's forehead. T has been this way for over a year.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2014

Drivers side visor will not stay up, dropping down to block visibility.

5 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2014

Sun visor failure. This is a safety issue as it will no longer fold up or fold away. This causes a visual hazard and seems like a design flaw that has affected every Cr-v and accords eventually. Timing seems to depend on the # of times the visor is flipped, & thats why the passanger side is noted less often (flipped less frequantly). There are many online video fixes (youtube), but as there are many online blogs reporting this problem & is clearly a visual hazard I think this needs to be addressed by Honda & ntsb.

7 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2013

For months, sun visor hung low, not blocking visibility, but it would not return to normal, upright position. Eventually had a complete failure of visor where it neither closes nor blocks sun, merely hangs and causes visibility issues. Because of its position, it also regularly hits my head if exiting vehicle or leaning forward for any reason. Honda recalled many civics for this reason but have done nothing to repair Cr-vs.

8 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2012

Driver's side visor began to sag and finally will not stay up. It is approximately 5 inches from the roof of the vehicle, causing a safety concern. I also hit my head routinely entering and exiting the vehicle. Dealer advises they are unaware of any pattern of failure with visors on the 2006 crv, and are only aware of problems with visors on civics. I have read blogs showing there are actually numerous reports of failures, and repeated repairs for this problem on the 2006 model. They advise the charge will be $150. 00 plus labor to repair the problem.
