2002 Honda Accord Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“On sunday the 19th, my wife had an accident in our vehicle involving a deer. The location was in our area, on a semi-rural 2-lane road. Weather was not a factor, and occurred at approx 11:30am. The deer was average in weight, 70-90 lbs, vehicle speed was 45mph at the time of impact. The point of impact appeared to be on the driver's side of the windshield, eye height of the driver, and was severe enough to shatter approx 90% of the windshield. Integrity of the windshield remained, and was not expelled from the vehicle, nor was it perforated, it was just almost completely shattered. …”

“The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. In cold weather conditions, the contact noticed that the driver's side window had spontaneously fractured. The windows were replaced at the cost of $180. Three years later, while driving at an unknown speed, the passenger side window spontaneously shattered. The manufacturer referred her back to the dealer. The failure mileage was 78,000 and current mileage was 140,000.”

“Driver side seat shakes/moves when accelerating or appling brakes, the dealer replaced the track but the problem still exist, the windshield wipers are sluggish and the left wiper was very noisy and left streak on the windshield, the glove box door would not close properly, the drivers seat belt would not retract intermittently due to the belt being twisted/curled, the left rear door would not close properly, fog lights were out of focus, the air bag light illuminated.”

“Reflection on windshield from dash has been too great. Also, glare almost caused consumer to hit a person. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated never had that type of complaint before. Consumer attached photos.”

“Consumer believes vehicle is not new because the window glasses are etched. The windshield wipers were sluggish upon use and left wiper was very noisy which left streaks on the windshield.”
