“We were driving on a empty street at 35 MPH about 88 degrees and sun the shining and no pedestrians around. We heard a loud bang and looked for some indication or more noise. Nothing except the sunroof had shattered with the center hole bulging out. We were lucky the shade was closed or everyone could have been covered in fine glass shards. I hope Honda covers this because in my professional opinion it was not caused by an exterior impact.”
NHTSA complaint #10519890, filed 2013-06, 37,840 miles“I was driving as usual to work on I-405 with 55-60m/h speed and suddenly heard a blast, like somebody shot me through window. I was in such a shock that almost lost control of my steering. But somehow managed to stay in lane. As my office was pretty close, I decided to inspect what happened after reaching there. However, while driving to office, I continued to be scared and in trauma and could also hear air coming in the car. By the time I reached office I had a hint that something is wrong with my sunroof, or it is open. …”
NHTSA complaint #10939134, filed 2017-01, 65,000 miles“My family and I were riding down the interstate in our new Honda 2010 Accord. My 2 daughters were looking though the moonroof at the plane flying above. All of a sudden, a hold blew out of the moonroof. The glass blew out--not in. Nothing hit the glass.”
NHTSA complaint #10298596, filed 2010-01, 1,800 miles“The moonroof glass on my 2010 Honda Accord spontaneously exploded while I was driving down the freeway. Nothing hit it, there was no wind or unusual condition of any kind. One moment, normal driving, then a sound like a big firecracker exploding in the car, then I looked up and about one quarter of the glass was gone out of the center, the rest was shattered into a million pieces but still hanging in place. More glass has broken loose and fallen down and the hole grown bigger over the past day. …”
NHTSA complaint #10504996, filed 2013-03, 57,850 miles“We were driving on the highway when we started hearing a cracking noise coming from the sunroof. My boyfriend looked up to see the sunroof cracking. He quickly closed the sunroof cover just before the glass shattered. No construction vehicles or heavy equipment were in the vicinity. No rock or other projectile hit the car. I contacted my local dealer and left a message for the service manager. I contacted Honda customer service the next day and got a case number. …”
