Problem reported to dealer service friday 10/02/2020 from previous occurances.”
NHTSA complaint #11363438, filed 2020-10, 10,100 miles“While traveling on the interstate at approximately 75 MPH, the sunroof spontaneously shattered. I have a dash cam and when I reviewed the footage, there wasn't any sign of rocks or debris that had caused the breakage.”
NHTSA complaint #11325101, filed 2020-05, 1,907 miles“I have had 3 Power Tailgate modules fail due to water leaks in the rear panel or window of the vehicle. I have had 2 leaks repaired and two modules replaced within a 6 month period (June '24 and December '24). 6 weeks later (Feb 14, 2024) have had the 3 module fail due to water intrusion following a heavy rain.”
NHTSA complaint #11643461, filed 2025-02“Power tailgate won't stay open. It is a known issue (Honda service bulletin 22-018) and has tried to close while people are underneath - including my small children. I have knocked my head into it numerous times since the issue started. It almost always slowly closes, and sometimes it beeps a few times then closes automatically and if I'm under it I have to forcefully hold it open. A small child would not be able to.”
NHTSA complaint #11742684, filed 2026-06“The rear hatch door closed with me standing under it and I injured my arm trying to stop the door from closing on me. The door will not stop closing even with a person there. This is very dangerous! The mechanic said that we need to replace the rear struts- this car is only 3 years old!”
