THIS IS THE THIRD WINTER WITH OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V AND THERE IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW AFFECTING THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING PRECIPITATION IN COLD WEATHER. THE SNOW AND ICE BUILDS UP IN THE LARGE WELL BENEATH THE WIPER BLADES,CAUSING THE WIPER BLADES TO GET STUCK ON THIS SNOW AND ICE, AS WELL AS THE FROZEN PRECIPITATION STICKING TO THE WIPER BLADES. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY STOP, GET OUT OF THE CAR AND BREAK UP THE ICE AND SNOW FROM THE WELL AND THE WIPER BLADES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND SAFELY. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT A CAR THAT CAN BE PURCHASED WITH 4WD, CLEARLY MEANT TO BE DRIVEN IN SNOWY AREAS, WOULD HAVE THIS SEVERE DESIGN FLAW! HONDA REALLY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS FLAW WITH A DESIGN SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM THAT CAN BE INSTALLED ON THIS CAR! *TR

THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V. IN WINTER PRECIPITATION CONDITIONS, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER FREEZES. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAR IT WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AND CLEARING IT MANUALLY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WIPER RESTS BELOW THE WINDSHIELD AND THERE IS NO HEATING ELEMENT TO THAW A FROZEN WIPER AT ALL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THERE IS PRECIPITATION BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURE. THIS CAUSES SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITY. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV TURNED OUT TO BE VERY BAD ON SNOW AND/OR ICE COVERED ROADS. REAR END FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO KICK OUT TO THE RIGHT. TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID NEEDED TO BE DRAINED AND THE CLUTCHES BURNISHED. DROVE BETTER AFTER THAT, 6 WEEKS LATER CAR MAKING NOISE LIKE A BEARING WAS GOING OUT. WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR TIRES WERE CUPPED DUE TO NOT HAVING ROTATED THEM. CAR HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE TIRES WERE ALREADY RUINED, I WAITED TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN TILL 30,000 MILES. NOW THE FRONT TIRES WERE BALD IN THE CENTER AND REAR TIRES STILL CUPPED. THEY DRAINED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID AGAIN AND AGAIN BURNISHED THE CLUTCHES AS WELL AS PERFORMED THE 30K SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE. 4K MILES LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON BAD ROADS, THE REAR END ONCE AGAIN FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT. FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS A COUPLE HUNDRED POUNDS OF EXTRA WEIGHT IN THE REAR. OH, FORGOT TO MENTION, HAVE HAD THE TIRES REPLACED AND TODAY HAD IT ALIGNED. I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER HONDA'S (ACCORDS). VERY PLEASED, BUT ABSOLUTELY CAN'T STAND THIS CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. *TR
