    I was driving along I-20/59 Northbound approaching Bessemer, Al near or between mile marker 102-104. Suddenly I heard a “pop” sound coming from behind me and noticed in my rear view mirror the rear windshield had a small hole in it. I had just merged into the far left passing lane when this occurred and then proceeded to merge to exit onto Exit 104 (McAshan Dr./ McCalla). As I continued to drive glass began to shatter and the hole expanded. I was initially startled and…

    Hood wobbles crazy while driving highway speed as if it is going to open or come out. Seem the outer panel of hood has rust by the joints where it is joined to the inner panel of the hood. Almost all the joints seem to be not joined well together. This is a structural body issue, car is less than 3 years old. And Currently I have about 55K miles on it. Noticed the hood wobble when it had less than 30,000 miles but upon checking under the hood there were no visible signs of…

    Left side (drivers side) mirror vibrates at high speeds. This creates a distortion with the inability to safely judge distances from other cars, any objects near by, makes attempts at lane changes unsafe.

    The hood seems to wobble/shake during highway speeds. Very noticeable when wind speed is high. Seems to be a common problem with 2023 CRv Hybrids. There should be a recall to have hoods fixed since this is a major safety problem.

    I was in the collision accident on the service road when my new Honda CR-V 2023 started skidding to the left while I was making the smooth turn to the right, the vehicle was pulling to the left side of the road, hitting the metal guardrail on the driver side. Looked like I lost traction and skid from left then to the right , unable to control and maneuver the steering wheel. The vehicle was in steering recall but I was not aware of that, did not receive any notice of the…

    Driver side mirror cracked vertically. Honda says it is "weather related" because I told them it happened while I was driving in snow. It is not covered under warranty. This is a safety issue!

    At higher speeds the hood shakes and bounces up and down. I have adjusted the hood bumper stops but to no avail. I have to slow down as a result so I don't damage the hood.

    When driving the vehicle in the rain, there is water running inside of the driver's side door. The problem is evidenced by the sound of running water originating from the inside of the driver's side door. The issue was checked and verified by the dealer who removed the driver's side roof molding and sealed a spot by the roof molding clip. The issue was not resolved so the the dealer now states that the issue is inherent in ALL 2023 CRVs so there is nothing they can do about…

    The driver’s side mirror vibrates a lot( it’s so hard to see anything, especially on the freeway “it gets blurry”). The dealership changed the mirror glass for me and the issue still there. I went back again and complained, and they ordered the whole mirror assembly for me (i waited 6 months)—the replaced it for me, and STILL the mirror vibrates. I would love to hear back from you guys because it’s so unpredictable! Thanks

    Hood shakes like crazy at sppeds over 60 MPH, brought to dealer and they said it was "Normal" and there is nothing they can do. it is shaking badly and I worry it will pop up and cause an accident. Not pleased with this at all. Second thing is it has developed a loud wind noise on passengers side "a" pillar near the windshield it seems. Going in to the dealer for them to look at that next week, as was not present when new, and we have now about 12,000 miles on it and it is…

    The reverse camera works poorly and is not clearly especially if it’s wet outside. Water smears on the camera more easily than other cars I have owned even if it’s not actively raining. My 2013 g37 and 2017 Mercedes glc300 never had visibility issues for the camera and the Infiniti is 11 years older. Honda states it’s normal. I think it’s a bad design that allows camera lens to hold water on it. It’s a potential danger when reversing during rain or if car is wet.
