The glass in the left side mirror fell out, adhesive failure. Last year the right side mirror glass fell out due to the same problem. The dealer laughed it off saying this is very rare. Having both of my mirrors fall off is not funny and is dangerous as I cannot see to change lanes.

The sun visor on the driver's side fails to stay in the up position, thus blocking the view of the traffic ahead. I have researched this problem on the web and there are many, many similar complaints. I believe this is a design flaw and Honda should be required to stand behind the problem. This is a safety hazard.

On my 2005 Honda CR-V the driver side sun visor will not stay up. It will fall into my view of the road at any time blocking my view of the road. I have had several oem Honda replacements and they have all fail in the same manor. Honda will no longer replace this defective item under warranty. This is a danger to 2005 Honda CR-V owner/operators.
2006 Honda CRV. Have replaced drivers side sunvisor 4 times, waiting on number 5. after anywhere from 2 months to 1 year the sunvisor will not stay up in place. Creeps back down instantly and cannot see out of windshield even with visor pushed all the way towards windshield. Offers no use, and when trying to use it obstructs view and is very dangerous. If visors are required, then this one is a failure. Have noted others on the Honda CRV owners club forum with same problem. Have asked that they also file with NHTSA. To be clear, when stored away in normal position it stays in place, when trying to pull it down and push towards windshield when sun is in face, it pushes to windshield then instantly flops back down to position where it obscures the view out the windshield. Replacements work fine for short period of time. They have warrantied 3 times, and I have had to buy twice as it was just over 1 year before I took it in. I have and old part that was replaced when I had to purchase out of warranty. The kept the other parts, but have no explanation for fix.
