We purchased a 2018 Honda CR-V EX 1.5 Turbo engine new in Canada a few years back. Unfortunately the CR-V is extremely unsafe in Canadian winters. It does not defrost nearly sufficiently. Maximum heat with AC and it defrosts half of the front side windows. This can occur when on a 4 lane highway and all of the sudden there is no visibility making driving extremely unsafe for everyone on the road. How this has been allowed to go on is beyond me.
Honda seems to be hiding behind an outdated ministry of transportation regulation for heating systems written in 1964. Will this protect them if there are fatalities or very serious injuries caused from obstructed visibility in their vehicles? Shame on Honda and shame on Transport Canada. Stay safe everyone! Honda - please acknowledge that your failed heating systems below -10 Celsius is a serious safety hazard for Canadian driving conditions and take action to solve this accident waiting to happen. Thanks!
