STRUCTURE:BODY
Driver side mirror vibrates at highway speeds causing blurred image. The housing is secure but the mirror itself begins to vibrate at 50mph making it difficult to see the approaching traffic. The vibration and blurred vision gets worse as speed increases. I've had it up to 75mph and the mirror looks quite blurry and additionally unclear if the road is bumpy. It is difficult to see what is behind and beside me which is a safety concern especially when trying to switch lanes. The passenger side mirror is fine. The Honda dealer took it for a test drive and was able to duplicate the issue. They also took all of the similar models on the lot for a ride and had the same issue. They tried to fix the existing assembly but it seems worse now. They are ordering a replacement mirror and housing to install and see if it fixes it. They also told me that it may be the how the car is which I know is inaccurate. The existing assembly is available for inspection though I'm guessing the dealership will take it when it gets replaced. The issued occurred the first time I got on the highway after I purchased the car new.

Re; Honda CR-V Ex-LVIN: [XXX] Purchased [XXX],From Auto Nation Honda, Dulles, VA I have noticed an issue with the windshield wipers and the timing of the water disbursement, where more than half of the windshield, on the right side, does not get water. When operating, the blades start moving from right to left. The right blade passes by about 55% of the glass before the water begins to disperse. The left blade moves to the edge of the glass, and the water is disbursed for the last 2 or 3 inches of the glass and providing no help for the rest of the windshield. This is a Major Safety Issue, especially during the winter months with snow, salt or sand on the road and other cars spraying all that on my windshield while more than half of the windshield is not receiving water to help clean it. I understand this system is fairly new on some models, and I am sure other buyers may have experienced the same issue.
