Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the highway at a speed of 65mph I heard a loud pop and then glass breaking. When I stopped the car to see what happened, the sunroof glass was shattered. Luckily the sunroof cover was closed because my son was sitting in the backseat. The weather today was about 50 degrees and rainy. The car was parked inside our garage beforehand since the night before.”
NHTSA complaint #11366941, filed 2020-10, 65,000 miles“I was driving my 2015 Honda Accord on my normal drive home from work on july 1, 2019 when all of a sudden I heard a weird pow sound. Not knowing what it was I slowed down because I thought either I ran over something or some other vehicle had an issue. Needless to say, I realized that my entire sunroof had exploded / shatter under unknown circumstances. I was an the interstate driving 65 MPH in light traffic and the weather was partly clear.”
NHTSA complaint #11228833, filed 2019-07, 84,000 miles“While I was driving my car down a road that was paved no faster than 35mph without any other vehicles in front or behind me or even on the other side of the road my sunroof exploded. It made the loudest scariest noise I've ever heard! When I called Honda to receive help I was entirely ignored and blown off. They basically told me it happens and is a common issue, well if that's the case why wasn't I informed of that when I bought my car?”
NHTSA complaint #10968979, filed 2017-03, 28,000 miles“On thursday, january 17th, 2019 the sunroof exploded on my 2015 Accord. I was driving on a 45 MPH highway leaving a traffic light. There was nothing overhead and no prior damage. The residual glass was pointing upwards as if to have exploded from the inside out. The sound was also indicative of an explosion. As a result, I swerved and ended up with glass raining on my head. Please help with something being done about this. Honda was not helpful at all and was very rude and callous about the situation and I'm now left with a gaping hole that I cannot afford to repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11170892, filed 2019-01, 66,000 miles“This vehicle has no dashboard indicator to inform you when the washer fluid is low. This may sound like a small thing, however, the point when you run out without warning is when you are trying to clean the windshield. This happened to me on the highway this winter with a lot of salty spray coming off the road. The result was a streaky mess that I could barely see through. Fortunately, I carry a gallon of fluid with me so I stopped and filled it on the spot. According to the owners manual, the indicator is only found on canadian models.”
