| Description of the problem | I purchased my new 2019 honda cr-v in june, thinking i would be as safe, comfortable and satisfied as i was with my 2016 honda cr-v for 3 years. However, i live in a rural area and am unable to drive after dark because the top half of my front windshield turns black whenever my headlights dim and i only have clear vision for a few yards n front of me. After 3 windshields, many hours of diagnostics, and my wasted time and frustration, my insurance agent, family, friends and i agree this is a serious manufacturing defect and i am stuck with a vehicle i can only drive safely in the daylight. A dealer employee told me the new led lights present this problem in most newly manufactured vehicles, but apparently i am the only owner who attempts to drive in a rural area at night. I am especially in danger now that we are in hunting season and deer are crossing the roads at all hours commencing at sunset. |
