We've owned Hondas for years. Multiple Civics, Accords, two Odysseys and this year we replaced our '17 CR-V with a new '24 CR-V Hybrid Sport L. Really like this car and all the features...except the windshield wipers and the wiper fluid system's performance have to be the worse in any car I have ever owned. the wipers leave streaks and do a poor job of clearing the windshield. And when using fluid it bareley comes out and is such an anemic stream along the blade that to have any effect I need to have CR-V stopped and hope to get some of the dirt cleaned off.

Does anyone else have this experience with teir '24 CR-V. is this by design or do i have some issues for the dealer to look at? Appreciate your response.

I could see a good sized puddle of fluid on the pax side blade being pushed across the windshield, but didn't see it on the driver's side. With the wipers parked I put a paper towel under that blade, touched the wash switch very briefly, and took a look at the paper towel. A wet spot was at each nozzle position. They do clean my windshield OK, and wipe OK in the rain, they're just different. For my next bladed the Bosch Icons look like a good choice. They come with an adapter for our push-button attachments.
