My dashboard continues to show the message, -??Low Tire Pressure.-?? Even after air has been filled in the tire. I ran a diagnostic today and the report is pulling up anti-lock brakes issues. The sensor is not stating this on the dashboard.

Windshield has a significant refraction causing issues with visibility at night. Light passing through windshield is variably refracted depending on eye level and viewing angle. Issue has existed since car delivered. Vehicle was taken to dealer and advised of this several times with no fix attempted to date. Will continue to seek remediation from manufacturer and will consider lemon law if not resolved. This is becoming a common issue with more windshields as there are no real standards for windshield light refraction.

My sunroof expoloded/shattered spontaneously. I was driving on the highway. I was mostly alone on this stretch of highway. I was not in a construction zone, under a bridge/overpass, or otherwise in an area that would produce any kind of projectile. There was not a truck or vehicle in front of me that could have kicked a projectile into the air. There was nothing that came through the sunroof into my car that I could identify as a projectile. My sunroon shattered at random. I have discovered others with this same issue both with Honda and other manufacturers.

Approximately 80% of the front windscreen is completely black and the driver can only see the road ahead through the lower 20% of the field of view. This occurs at night in situations with minimal surrounding lighting (eg. Not in the city). The distance which can be seen is less than 100 ft. There is a straight line with abrupt change from the lower illuminated region to the upper completely black windscreen through which hardly anything can be visualized. I have never seen this completely black windscreen in any other vehicle. The dealership told me the headlights were at factory specifications and there was nothing else they could do. It is completely unsafe to drive in low light conditions with the low beams and the illuminated area becomes even smaller on inclines. Visibility is slightly improved with high beams but the upper 2/3rd to 1/2 of the windscreen remains darker. The iihs safety test confirms marginal illumination on Honda CRV ex L model with inadequate lighting on certain turns, so the deficiency of the low beams is already documented however testing apparently did not occur in low light conditions because that is when the black windscreen condition occurs. That would have given this model a poor performance/failing grade. I have found other similar complaints with this problem online and so I am surprised that a fix/recall has not been issued for this problem with the low beam headlights.

The car was parked in a private garage. During the night, a crack approximately 12 inches in length spontaneously developed in the front windshield on the passenger side. The crack appears to have started at the bottom of the windheild. The car was less than 1 week old at this point.
