“On September 30, 2026, the factory-installed moonroof glass on my 2026 Honda HR-V EX-L suddenly shattered while I was driving on the freeway. There were no warning signs, unusual noises, or indications of a problem beforehand. I suddenly heard an extremely loud bang, comparable to a gunshot, rather than the sound I would typically associate with a small object or rock striking the vehicle. I did not observe any object striking the glass or identify an external impact that could explain the incident. …”

“About 3 hours into a 4 hour drive (while the car was only months old, with just 1800 miles), the sound switched from playing the radio at a normal volume to suddenly extraordinarily loud crackle, static, popping noises. The noise continued at this indescribably high volume for about one minute while I tried anything to help -- I tried adjusting the volume knob, unplugging my phone (which was plugged in just for directions), switching inputs, switching from FM to AM, pushing the volume knob in to turn the whole thing off, etc. Nothing stopped the noise. …”

“Ive noticed the horn is really quiet. I live in a smaller city but traffic does get busy still and often times people dont check there surroundings. Theres been multiple times where ive used my horn to honk at someone over taking my lane and most of the time it helps and the move away. Ive noticed in this car they never back off. After work one day i was honking my horn in the parking lot to get my coworkers attention who was in her car to look at me. She never looked up even tho she was parked right next to me. I asked her if she could hear me honking and she said not at all. …”
