1,front windshield wiper suddenly stops working while driving in the rain. This thing happening since last two months 2,rear, right hand side suspension makes noise while driving, seams like something is loose and making pounding noise. This thing happening since last three months. 3,rain water leaks in from driver side where the gas and front hood latches are. For this I have already bring to dealer twice, still the problem persist.
While driving at night during my very first heavy rain storm after purchasing the Honda hrv. I had zero visibility, even after increasing the wiper blade speed to it's maximum speed I still had zero visibility. I felt extremely unsafe in my new vehicle and had to pull off the road. I took my car to the dealership and was told my wiper blades might be dry rotted from sitting on the car lot. I didn't believe this to be the issue but purchased new blade inserts in order to rule it out. The very next heavy rain, the result were the same. There is not even a second of visibility in heavy rain regardless of how fast the wiper blades are moving especially at night. It seems as though the windshield is designed poorly.
