The heat on the driver side blows cold air. The windshield on winter does not defrost completely due to cold air on that side it is the heater core that is blocked for the driver side. Passenger side has no issue with heat. I-??ve been informed that this is a heater core issue and needs to be flushed and have build up removed on heater core. My vehicle has only 40,000 miles.

When it gets cold the windshield washer system freezes and no fluid will come out. I have used fluid certified to -32C and other additives and nothing helps. This seems to be a common problem on CRV of this year and others. Driving at highway speeds and suddenly getting a dirty window from splash back and then not being able to clean it and loose forward visibility is very dangerous.

Driver side 's air vent heat vent is not working properly. During winter, the windshield is not fully warm and hard to do defrost. According to Honda, they recognized the issue of heator core and had issued a service bulletin about the issues of heater core problem to remove clogging. It should be recalled to fix the issue rather than making the owner replacing the expensive part. Thank you.

Windshield defroster does not work when first starting vehicle and when car idling. Dangerous because no visibility in cold conditions. Also, no heat on driver's side. Honda released service bulletin 14-063 so they know about this issue but have done nothing to repair. I just paid the dealer $618 to have the heater core flushed 3 times but there is no guarantee that the issue will not return. Very dangerous if driving in cold, icy conditions with low visibility and relying on defroster to function.

The heat doesn't work on the drivers side, just blows cold air while the passenger side is working perfectly!

Windshield washer came apart and failed to work. Washer motor will not run.allowing wiper blade S to damage to wind shield and back window. Both moving and stationary..no photo

Driving home from work on the freeway during a bad storm the defroster was blowing cold air on the windshield and it completely iced over. I could not see. Not to mention-- I was freezing cold. The passenger side was blowing heat, however all vents on the driver side were blowing cold air. I took my car to a Honda dealer. Without even looking at it, they seemed to know exactly what was wrong and told me it was $330 to repair. I took it to an independent mechanic who charged me $172 to flush out the heater core. The mechanic also told me it would probably happen again.

Low heat from drivers side which causes the windshield not to defrost in the winter. Also cold inside car. Honda is aware of this and put out service bulletin #14-063. Says heater core partly clogs reducing heat to drivers side. This problem happens when car is stationary or in motion. This is a safety issue that should be recalled to fix the problem.

The defroster blows only cold air on the driver's side. It is still warm/hot on the passenger side. I live in the northeast and when you can't see out the windshield to drive it becomes a serious problem. During the winter the car is basically undriveable unless you let the entire interior warm up for 20-30 minutes, not exactly the fuel fuel efficiency I was looking for in a Honda vehicle

The heater-defroster does not work in the winter. The windshield starts to frost over on the drivers side making visibility very poor. This happens at any speed or driving situation. This vehicle has only 31,000 miles on it. After doing research, I found on the Honda forum that this is a very common complaint with this year of CR-V. many complaints had less mileage than my CR-V. Honda knows about the problem but will not recall this vehicle. Not being able to see through the windshield while driving is a safety hazard!!!

Heater core keeps clogging causing only cold air to blow on driver side

A known tsb shows that Honda is aware that issues with the radiator/heater core is causing drivers side heat to be considerably less than the passenger side. This inadequate heat supply to the drivers side causes ice to easily accumulate and stick to the drivers side windshield in virtually any weather conditions below 20 degrees farenheit. This causes much concern for visibility and varying precipitation and temperatures can make visibility virtually impossible. Honda needs to recognize their faulty components and recall these parts in order to improve defrosting abilities and make our roadways safer. This vehicle has had manaufacturers tsb performed on the heater core twice with issues still arising today only 20K miles in.

Corrosion from the radiator builds up in the heater core and causes the drivers side defrost to be insufficient. In weather below 25 degrees, ice easily forms on the windshield and the defrost can't keep up because it isn't warm enough. Vehicle has had heater core flush multiple times. It's time to realize that components are failed and need answers. The proper functioning of the defrost is essential in safe driving.

The driver side heat vent blows out cold air in my 2014 Honda CRV. This is a known issue to Honda and they have not done a recall. This cold air causes the windows to not defrost and, therefore, difficult to see in certain weather conditions. I have had the heater core flushed once and the issue came back within 15,000 miles. It is a recurring issue that should be recalled as it is unsafe driving with frosted windows due to no heat.

The driver's side air vent blows cold air out of the vents and towards the windshield. Thus, I am unable to properly defrost my front windshield on my 2014 Honda CRV, causing a possible safety hazard. Honda knows about this problem and has issued tsb #14-063 to fix this problem, but yet refuses to do any sort of recall. The tsb calls for a flush of the heater core with clr and then that should fix the problem until the heater core gets plugged again. To me this is a design/safety problem that needs to be addressed asap. This happens whenever the heat is on and the car is at operating temperatures.

No heat drivers side.... windshield ices up and it is an issue. Heater core issue.

- Rockford, MI, USA

Drvers side floor vents and frt vents and defoger blowes cool air passengerside vents all blow hot air. Ac operates ok heat in winter is problem. There is a tech bul. Out for repair due to heater core cloging up. Honda will not honor warrenty and is for 2012 -2014 Honda CRV's tech bul 14-063. They will not pay for the flush $400. Car has 30,000miles and is 4yrs old. They say it is not a safety issue, I cannot belive defrosting drivers side window is not a safety issue!!!! I even have 100,000mile ext Honda care warrenty which I payed $2000 for.

Driving on the freeway during a snow storm the heater was blowing cold air on the drivers side. The windshield iced over and I could not see.

Summer 2016, driving at highway speed, the closed sunroof "exploded", violently shaking the car. Upon inspection, the remaining glass was bowed outward, and the closed sun shade had no damage. There was also no nearby overpass, or much traffic - in other-words, so evidence that a rock or other projectile broke the sunroof from the outside going inwards

The front windshield wiper drags water across the windshield on the drivers side during the return swipe from the side of the windshield back to center, obstructing my view when driving. The harder it rains, the worse the obstruction is. I've taken video with my phone and given it to the dealer. They changed out the wiper blade in case that was the problem, but it continues. It is very bad during heavier rains and when driving at faster speeds. It seems to be worse at driving speeds over 40 miles per hour. It happens going straight and on turns. It started when the car was brand new, but I just learned about this site while following up on a recall notice I recently received in the mail.
