Hi.....welcome to the Club

I had a similar issue on a Mitsubishi L200 and took the front cover off the wiper motor to find there was an excess of grease on the contacts which could no longer pick up a current at certain points in the wipe sweep.
Cleaned off the excess grease and it worked absolutely fine.
Not sure if the motor is easily accessible on the CR-V like it was on the L200 and also if there is an easily removable front cover but certainly worth a look

Let us know how you get on with it
