“My sunroof exploded while I was driving on the interstate at about 70 MPH! It was definitely not hit by anything. You can see in one of the photos how it blew outward. Fortunately, most of the glass went outside of the vehicle and I was not injured, but it was extremely loud and terrifying! I was still about two hours away from home so I closed the shade guard so that the glass would not fall inside on me. I could hear pieces falling and hitting the shade guard the rest of the way home. …”
NHTSA complaint #11104328, filed 2018-06, 70,000 miles“It was a cold day with wind chilled down to single digits. I took something out from the trunk, got into my car and closed the door. Then I notice that the rear passenger side window glass has been broken into tiny pieces. The whole glass was gone, with half landed inside the car and half outside. The car was parked at the time and there was no one around and nothing that I know of had hit the car door window. The glass just spontaneously shattered.”
NHTSA complaint #10561043, filed 2014-01, 700 miles“Whenever it rains moderately or heavy the drivers side windshield wiper pulls back the water in my sight of view. This is an annoyance and a safety hazard that I would like to get corrected.”
NHTSA complaint #10563104, filed 2014-02, 714 miles“On october 22 , 2014 I drove from my home to my office, approx 30 minutes. The temp outside was about freezing or high 30's. By this time the car would not get hot even on highest setting of heat. It was blowing cold air. I called gwinnettt place Honda where I purchased the vehicle on june 1 2014. The dealer had the vehicle for over two hours only to tell me there is nothing wrong with the car. On thursday november 6, the heating system was blowing cold air again. On saturday I still felt cold air, so I called gwinnett place Honda . …”
NHTSA complaint #10654874, filed 2014-11, 6,300 miles“Just purchased my 2014 Honda Accord lx. I live in a rural area with many small hills. While driving home I noticed the low beam headlights seem to be out of focus, not illuminating objects on the side of the road within 25 feet from the vehicle, nor can you see street signs within that distance. Worse, when going up and down the small hills the roadway visibility changes rapidly depending on the angle of the car, often dropping the visibility to a scary 10-50 feet at 55 MPH. Yes, you can use you high beams to help if conditions permit . …”
