Consumer Description

I AM WRITING TO SEE THE ISSUE I AM FACING WITH MY CAR IS A SAFETY CONCERN OR NOT. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY INDICATED ALL OF THEIR HONDA CRV 2012 MODELS ARE DESIGNED THE SAME WAY TO PROTECT THE INTERIOR ELECTRIC MECHANISM OF THE CAR. I HAVE A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN IT IS RAINING OR THERE IS MOISTURE ON THE SIDE WINDOWS (ALL FOUR SIDES INCLUDING DRIVER SIDE) OF MY HONDA CRV. SO WHEN IT RAINS OR THERE IS MOISTURE ON THE SIDE WINDOW WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING THEIR OVERNIGHT, I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY TO WIPE OFF ANY WATER DROPLETS OR MOISTURE BY SLIDING MY SIDE WINDOW DOWN. I HAVE TESTED MANY OTHER CARS. ALL OF THEM SQUEEZES OFF THE WATER ON THE WINDOW BY JUST SLIDING THE WINDOW. MY HONDA CRV DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO DO THAT. I BROUGHT THIS TO ATTENTION BACK IN 2012 TO HONDA. I WAS ADVISED TO ALWAYS TO PROPERLY WIPE OFF MY WINDOWS WITH A CLEAN CLOTH BEFORE DRIVING. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE I HAVE CLEAR VISIBILITY BEFORE STARTING TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2011. MY QUESTION WAS WHAT IF IT RAINING HEAVY AND I AM DRIVING. THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO SEE CARS BEHIND ME USING MY SIDE-VIEW MIRROR. I SLIDE MY WINDOW TO HAVE A CLEAR VISIBILITY AND CLOSE MY WINDOW BACK AGAIN. AGAIN THEIR A NEED TO DO SO? SHOULD I KEEP DOING THESE OVER AND OVER? *TR
