NHTSA Complaint #10692394 — 2014 HONDA CR-V

2014 HONDA CRV: IN FEB 2015 WINDSHIELD WIPERS MOSTLY DO NOT WORK AT ALL OR THEY WORK INTERMITTENTLY IN COLD WEATHER...ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING WHEN THEY STOPPED DURING SEVERAL SNOWSTORMS ALLOWING NO VISIBILITY. AFTER MAKING A LONG DRIVE TO FORT WAYNE DON AYRES ( AND TRYING TO FIND A DAY WHEN BOTH WIPERS AND I WERE NOT WORKING AND THAT IT WAS NOT SNOWING ON THE INTERSTATE) THE WIPERS STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER THE CRV WAS DRIVEN INTO THEIR GARAGE. HAD TO BRING IT BACK WHEN WIPERS NOT WORKING, WE WERE TOLD. IN THE MEANTIME CRV WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN SNOWSTORMS. ON SECOND VISIT THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE MOTOR ON THE WIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED. A LITTLE NUISANCE PROBLEM TO THEM BUT VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME WHEN DRIVING BLIND IN SNOWSTORMS. LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A WRECK OR EVEN A STROKE FROM THE FRUSTRATION OF SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON A VEHICLE TO STAY SAFE IN WINTER WEATHER...ONLY TO HAVE NONFUNCTIONAL WIPERS THAT MAKE IT UNDEPENDABLE IN WINTER WEATHER. HOPE THIS WILL BE HELPFUL TO SOMEONE. *TR
