| Aug 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Re; Honda CR-V Ex-LVIN: [XXX] Purchased [XXX],From Auto Nation Honda, Dulles, VA I have noticed an issue with the windshield wipers and the timing of the water disbursement, where more than half of the windshield, on the right side, does not get water. When operating, the blades start moving from right to left. The right blade passes by about 55% of the glass before the water begins to disperse. The left blade moves to the edge of the glass, and the water is disbursed for the last 2 or 3 inches of the glass and providing no help for the rest of the windshield. This is a Major Safety Issue, especially during the winter months with snow, salt or sand on the road and other cars spraying all that on my windshield while more than half of the windshield is not receiving water to help clean it. I understand this system is fairly new on some models, and I am sure other buyers may have experienced the same issue.
