The windshield wiper stops at a variable distance form the end of the windshield on the driver's side. Sometimes several inches form the edge, not wiping all the way and at times it impacts the A pillar. This affects safety in rainy weather.

Driver's side mirror spontaneously cracked down the middle, potentially from cold temperature. The mirror was not hit by any object, just cracked out of nowhere. Taking it to Honda dealership next week, but online search reveals this seems to be a problem with these recent Honda models.
Windshield in my 2025 Honda CRV EX-L cracked open when I turned on my Heat defroster. Put a big huge crack in my windshield just from using the defroster.
