The motor of the wiper blades would only work randomly. Even when it was turned off they would not stop. When they did stop they would not be in the right spots. Sometimes they would stop in the middle of the windshield.
I was driving down the road carefully because I take this road almost everyday. This road has been damaged for a long time now and hasn't been fixed yet. All of a sudden my car hits a huge pot hole, it couldn't have been seen due to how dark this road is at night. Both wheels on the left side popped and my front windshield crack in the middle due to the hard impact.
While driving my windshield wipers would not turn off. Then when they finally did shut off they were parked in the middle of my windshield. They also have turned on randomly while driving. This happened all week and it's been raining. I took it to the Honda dealership today and they had to replace the wiper motor which cost $400. After researching online this seems to be a common issue with Honda Civics and it should be made into a recall as it's unsafe.
Windshield wipers just stop in the middle of the windshield when using intermittent setting. Very dangerous when using wipers when driving on highway and wipers just stop working.

I went to stow my driver-side sun visor, it split in half and remained about 1" from stowing flat. It then kept deploy an additional 2 to 3 inches resulting in a significant distraction. I went to the internet to see about buying a new one and noticed a recall was in place for this item. I called my Honda dealer and he confirmed there was a recall that applied to some 2007 Honda Civics but that my VIN wasn't part of the recall -- despite the fact that it failed in the same way that the recall described.
When pressing for the wipers to run once, it runs multiple times, and other times, they stop when on the intermittent, low, or high settings. Also when turning off or when they randomly stop they do not stop at the correct position on the window.
It doesnt stop at correct position and at times keeps going even pressing once... expecially on snow or rainy day its stops in the middle of driving view and I have to keep pressing off and on distracting my ability to drive safely!!! please recall thanks! youtu.be/jnywyaxxg8W.
Sun visor falls during driving limiting visibility, especially when getting to an intersection and the traffic light can't be seen. It is a safety an hazardous problem.
I was driving on the interstate around 9:30pm - 10:00pm in the rain. I had my wipers on, which were working fine for approximately the first 15 minutes of my 40 minute drive. After approximately 15 minutes, the wiper blades occasionally stopped resting at the bottom of the windshield while on intermittent, but would rest slightly higher. They would also wipe the windshield between 3-5 times in a row, when the intermittent was set to wipe once every few seconds. I tried turning the intermittent off and would manually push the wiper bar in the car when needing my windshield cleared, to see if that worked better. I received the same results, with the wiper blades not resting at the bottom of the windshield, and the blades wiping 3-5 times in a row with only one push. About a week later, it rained again, and I experience the same thing as described above, except it happened more frequently than the first time. I was driving in town the second time, instead of the interstate.
This has been an ongoing annoying issue. My wipers do not stop in the correct off position. Instead, they'll freeze in various positions on windshield. They also do not wipe at the chosen speed. The functionality is completely abnormal! this needs to be a recall. As I do more research, I see more and more posts about this issue. I'm truly shocked that it's not a recall.
