Consumer Description

THE WINDSHIELD SPRAYER ON THE HONDA CR-V 2012 FREEZES UNDER 30 DEGREES AND DOES NOT WORK TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CR -V IN THE SNOW BECAUSE VISIBILITY COULD BE ZERO AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE SNOW FROM MY CAR. I JUST CAN NOT SEE OUT MY WINDSHIELD.YOU WOULD THINK HONDA WOULD HAVE A BETTER DESIGN FOR THERE NEW CR-V. IN THE SNOW STORM, I HAD TO OPEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND DRIVE HOME LOOKING OUT THAT WINDOW TO GET HOME SAFELY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT IN 2014 WE CAN NOT HAVE A CAR WHOSE WINDSHIELD SPRAYER WORKED PROPERLY IN THE SNOW!!!THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
