The rear view camera display keeps switching from color to black&white mode during parking operations. This happens even during good weather where there is plenty of light out and no reason for it to switch to low visibility or nighttime mode. The car dealer said there was no fix for this. This behavior began shortly after purchase and has continued to occur since then.

On this vehicle, the washer fluid sprays intermittently by design. In theory, this would save fluid but the timing of the spray makes it so a majority of the right/passenger side windshield stays completely dry or gets just enough spray to smear around any obstruction that is on the windshield. I have had several times now where I need to clean my windshield from dirty road spray and end up needing to pull in to a gas station to get out and clean my windshield. There are online forums that talk extensively about this issue and seems to effect all 23 and newer Honda CRVs.

Sunroof exploded. Some glass fell on passengers inside of vehicle. Our vehicle is at the dealership waiting for inspection by someone from Honda. This happened without warning while we were driving at approx. 60mph. Heard a loud boom and realized the sunroof has broken. There was nothing around us or over head when this happened. We were traveling on a smooth two lane road with no other vehicles in front or behind us. AGAIN, this happened very suddenly without any warning. I did see on the internet that there have been similar cases of this failure happening in 2024 and 2025 CRV's.

Honda case#: 15542096. Rear camera will go black and white intermittently. Rear camera replaced under warranty at under 6k miles 9/25/25, however, problem still persists randomly. Attached pics on 3/22/25 and 4/2/25 are examples of this issue I witnessed and obtained photo of. Dealership says they cannot duplicate and cannot proceed forward with repair or diagnosis on 3/18/25 RO#377440 with just under 15k miles. No rhyme or reason for random occurrences other than seems to happen when weather changes drastically (cold or rain). It's a safety issue because black and white is a deviance from normality and it is not discerning enough with the low quality resolution camera used to prevent backing up into someone or something. Color helps the eye discern shapes, people, and things better protecting objects from damage and life from harm. Honda and the dealership so far has refused to take action or solve even though the car is under warranty.

My driver's side mirror spontaneously cracked. There was no damage done to the mirror that would cause this to happen. The mirror was intact when I pulled into my garage. An hour later I left again and the side mirror was cracked top to bottom. It is not difficult to get a non- distorted view out of my driver's side mirror and I feel it impacts the BSI as well. I have an appointment on 3/20 for inspection at the dealer. There were no issues prior to this happening. My photos show that there are no nicks, scratches or anything around the mirror at all. Also the mirror is not shattered, it's simply a clean crack down the middle.

Failed component: The windshield washer system is faulty -?" particularly the passenger side. Honda refers to it as a -??wet arm wiper-?? system. More specifically, the washer fluid is emitted from the wiper arm instead of a more direct spraying method. As such, it does not spray out evenly across the windshield. It basically dribbles onto the windshield, with a delay, and winds up getting dumped onto the bottom of the windshield and the outer edge of the wiper blade. The small amount of washer fluid that does get onto the windshield simply gets mixed with the debris on the windshield and dirties and obscures the windshield even more and makes it even harder to see out of. This is particularly dangerous when the vehicle in operation when the windshield washer is used and the windshield become smeared and obscured in traffic. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request Safety risk: Upon utilizing the windshield washer system while driving in traffic, the windshield becomes smeared and obscured to a point where the operator cannot see very well out of the windshield. Reproduction by dealer: The issue was reported to the dealer on 1/28/2025 and dismissed as -??normal wet arm operation-??. Inspections: As stated above, the issue was reported to the dealer on 1/28/2025 and dismissed as -??normal wet arm operation-??. Warning / messages / symptoms / first appeared: There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issue first appeared shortly after the purchase date of 4/26/2024; the first time I used the windshield washer system.

On [XXX] I parked my 2024 Honda CR-V EXL on my driveway as I do every night. Night time temperatures that night dipped into the digits, around 6 or 7 degrees. The next morning, as I prepared to take my wife to work, I noticed a vertical crack on the driver's side rear view mirror. My vehicle is still less than one-year old. Online I have read that this is not an isolated occurrence with Honda CR-Vs. I will take my car back to the Honda dealer in Bethesda, MD tomorrow, January 29th.

The 2024 Honda CRV windshield wiper do not fully wipe rain water on the driver side, leaving 3" 1/2 on driver pillar that is untouched by the windshield wiper. This reduces driver visibility during rain. Due to this concerns my wife do not feel safe driving this vehicle in the rain or snow.

On driving to the other side of the state from my home to visit family on [XXX] in Michigan, I was driving 70-75 miles per hour. It takes close to 3 hours of driving one way. There was a lot of insects hitting my windshield and when I used the wipers the water just flew over the windshield, not getting my window wet to enable the wipers to clean my windshield. If I am driving 30-50 miles per hour that doesn't happen. I could not get my windshield clean of the bugs which inpaired my vision. I talked with the service department and they said it is the way the wipers are made and they can not do anything about it. I did call Honda Customer Care Line and I have a case #[XXX]. They told me to contact you because it can be a hazard when traveling, which I do often to see my family. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Both side mirrors shake vigorously while driving at any speed. It is very hard to focus and see the image in the side mirrors. Most of the time I have to use the rear view mirror to see behind me. The shaking is so severe that sometimes if I-??m looking at the side mirror trying to see it will make my head hurt.

The backup camera image is shown as black and white, not color, and has poor resolution. With the black and white image and poor resolution, it is hard to determine exactly what is behind the vehicle when backing up, particularly in conditions of reduced lighting. The backup camera system was inspected by Honda dealership service and confirmed to have an issue. The display screen unit was replaced, but the backup camera image is still shown as black and white and has poor resolution. Another service appointment has been made.

When putting the car in reverse, the rear camera image is usually black and white instead of color, which is unsafe because of the lack of contrast. It will also strobe between black and white and color, which is also unsafe and annoying. I took it to the dealer today (All Star Honda in Abilene TX) and they said Honda knows about the problem but doesn't have a fix yet. I've looked online at the Honda CR-V Owners Group and Redditt and see many complaints posted...so I'm guessing NHTSA knows about it, but just wanted to make sure....and I want my brand new car defect fixed....and I want Honda to stop manufacturing cars with this known defect.

Driver side mirror. The mirror looks very distorted and shakes significantly when driving. The view from my driver side mirror looks worse at night, which is when I do most of my driving. Headlights from other cars affect the view from my driver side mirror and give off a terrible reflection. I have taken my vehicle to Honda dealer and they stated they did not notice any distorted images or shaking. I have had this vehicle for barely 2 weeks and have had no luck in finding the a solution.
