1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2019

The button on the shift knob fell out. It appears to have cracked, and now the button falls out of the shifting handle.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2018

It was a record hot day, 100 degrees, and my Cr-v was parked in my paved driveway, in the sun. I was watering my outdoor plants (not washing my car, our well water would only leave white spots on it) and waved the hose over my car and "pop!"- the front windshield cracked in two different places, both are large cracks, 10 and 18 inches. This was due, I believe, to the cool water on the hot windshield. I believe the car is now unsafe to drive as the cracks are so prominent and I question the windshield's integrity.

3 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2017

Faulty windshield glass. My vehicle's windshield cracked due to what appears to be weak oem windshield. When I turned on my vehicle defrost a slight crack appeared which continued on to spread along the bottom, near the defroster. A google search shows multiple complaints about 2017 windshield cracking for a myriad of reasons that don't have to do with an accident. The Honda dealership where the vehicle was purchased refuses to replace the windshield unless I pay over a $1000. Now, in order to avoid my insurance going up, I will have to pay over $500 to safelite to replace it. Again this is not an isolated issue.
