“While driving my 2014 Honda Odyssey, I heard a loud bang, and when I reached my destination, saw a bow tie shaped hole in the middle of my moonroof. When I heard the noise, I was driving about 40 MPH in a local street in start stop traffic during the morning commute. Temperatures were mild, and there were no large vehicles or flying debris around that I noticed that may have caused the hole. I am getting it repaired immediately for safety reasons around my family, and was quoted about $900 for parts and labor.”

“Windshield wavy/blurry: they said I was one of the first of 2014 Odyssey owners. But at the first moment of driving I felt something wrong with the windshield. I told the Honda sales person that I feel blurry vision while driving. It seems the glass is wavy. He said because I am driving the first time that's why it seems like that. After one week of driving I was so sure about that. When I drive specially in the highway with higher MPH I feel dizzy. The Honda service person drove and told me that he cant duplicate the problem and the glass is fine. …”

“Shiny dashboard reflects too much in both driver & passenger side mirrors when the sun hits the dashboard. This is a safety issue because it is extremely hard to see other cars driving behind you when trying to use the mirror. The dashboard & air vents reflect too much in the mirror.”

“Moon roof glass exploded while on smoothly paved highway. No apparent cause. No other vehicles were nearby to throw a rock. Explosion was loud. Shattered glass fell on driver and passenger - at 70 MPH [speed limit].”

“Rear window exploded when drivers door shut with no unusual force -- just shutting the door as normal. The this happened at about 8am. The car was parked/stationary. The shattering left a hole about the size of a bowling ball behind the driver's side. Glass flew everywhere; luckily my children were not in the back seat at the time. Interior and exterior air temps were not extreme. There was no evidence of anything that hit the window. Several people were around at the time and nobody saw anything unusual.”
