| Wiper problems |
The intermittant wiper system does not and has not worked properly since I purchased the car. Very inconsistant. . . The system has the rain sensing automatic wipers. . . With variable speed. When raining,,,no matter how heavy or light the rain. . . When set to variable speed. . . It doesnt matter where I set the the speed . . . I cannot get a consistant wipe. . . If it wipes at all. This is especially annoying when I come to a stop. . . Stop light, stop sign, turning. . . The wipers will not sweep. . . And will not work again until the vehicle speed reaches at least 25mph. . . Which really forces me to either manually engage a sweep or set the wipers either the low or high setting. Have read numerous complaints and reports online in chat rooms and Honda forums. . . So this definitely is an issue. . . A safety issue.

The Honda fuel consumption is too fast when the ac is initiated the oil consumption is too fast between oil changes it has had roughly 4 oil changes when the mfg says the car should go 7k- 10k between oil changes.
My sunroof glass spontaneously exploded on a sunny day at 50 mph. There was no road debris or impact with the glass. Ambient temp was 55 degrees, clear sky. The resulting noise and cascade of small glass particles made it quite difficult to maintain control of the vehicle.
Non impact windshield crack on 9/8/2022.
Driving on flat highway and the windshield cracked from the outside edge inwards. There was no impact of any object and windshield passes "ball point pen test". Dealer refuses to warranty repair. Vehicle is available for inspection. No warning signs although there are ongoing class action suits claiming defect in windshield support.
When driving after dark on rural roads or roads with low light, and using the low-beam headlights, the road is only visible through the lower 1/3 of the windshield. Visibility forward is extremely limited. There is a band of darkness on the upper 2/3. This makes for very dangerous and limited visibility. The visibility improves when the high beams are used. This problem has was first noticed in 2021. I have a video I took of the issue. I took my car to the dealer for service and they say they cannot fix it. They claim, so far, that the headlights are working fine, but they admit that they are unable to check for nighttime issues as I describe.
I bought the car back at September. After 2 week of commuting to work and back home, I notice a large crack near top edge of passenger side windshield one morning. The cracks then continue spread downward in multiple hairline pattern. Luckily my insurance through progressive cover the windshield replacement cost with $0 glass deductible. The whole windshield was replaced and the camera system onboard was reprogram by safelite.
