Wiper blade broke in an explosive fashion upon activating throwing plastic and metal components onto the drive way. Since this was in the drive way the components did not cause any harm to any other property but if this was the high way it is likely the components may have caused damage to other vehicles or motorcyclists. Wiper blade was purchased new 3 weeks prior to incident on 10-03-2023 and failed on 10-26-2023, in this time frame the vehicle had not been used frequently as it was having multiple parts repaired so the part should not have much wear and tear. The wiper blade is saved and available to test, it broke into 7 separate pieces in an explosive fashion including 2 metal wires, blade backing broke into 2 pieces, component that holds blade to mechanism broke to two pieces and a single rubber blade. Mechanism that holds blade in place was left in a jagged state. Concern was that if blade was allowed to continue operating it may have caused damage to glass. There are no warnings and component has not been notified to manufacturer yet but I will look into contacting manufacturer after completing this report during their next business hours.
Driving through a thunderstorm in 2019 on SB highway 49 in Arkansas. Large bolt of lightning in the distance with very loud thunder. My windshield wipers cam to ta complete stop and started up again within a few seconds. Date of occurrence is only approx.
Aloha, bought this Honda Civic, hybrid in 2013 brand new and love it overall. Had an issue when adjusting the inside mirror that it actually came off in my hand while I was drying !..... I didn't feel that I was that forceful in adjusting the mirror so was very surprised to see it pop off like that, and also very dangerous while on the highway in doing so. Had to pull over to the side of the road, and was able to pop the ball joint thingy back into place. Hmm...... I've never had a car do that before !!....... very dangerous and should be looked into. We had called the main Honda dealership on mainland, reported it, and have a case number on it, as well as taking the car to the hilo, Hawaii Honda dealership where we bought the car and reporting the issue ! thanks.
It was fine when I parked it in the garage the night before but the next morning none of the following were working and the dealer has no idea what's wrong (they want to try replacing whole console for $700 and if/when that doesn't work try replacing something else for $$$): - dash (and gear shift, etc.) doesn't light up when driving at night - windshield defoggers - speedometer (reads "0" whether in motion or stopped) - odometer - warning indicators (overheat, tire pressure, etc. Except "brake" which still works, and the little gas icon on the left continuously blinks whether full tank or not) - gas gauge - gas mileage - tachometer (a physical meter) - air conditioner - oil life left - cruise control - "econ" mode button doesn't work - not sure if air bags work - I may find out someday - radio works/displays fine I am not sure of the exact date when this happened, but it was sometime in August 2017.

No incident has occurred, yet. This is a warning to prevent accidents. Honda has moved the position of the driver's side side-view mirror from what it was on my previous 2000 year model. The current position makes it very difficult to see traffic approaching the driver side of the car, even when the mirror is adjusted as far to the side as possible. I think it is because the mirror has moved too close to the driver, rather than closer to the front of the car. I'm guessing they did this since they made the driver side window two pieces instead of one (they added a small triangle shaped window at the front of the window). This is an accident waiting to happen.
