2015 Honda Accord window and wiper problems

VISIBILITY/WIPER

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

WHILE DRIVING IN EXTREME DARK CONDITIONS (EG ON A POORLY LIT COUNTRY ROAD), WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON, A WELL DEMARCATED VEIL OF DARKNESS COVERS APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (IE THE TOP HALF). THIS CURTAIN-LIKE VEIL OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VISION, TO THE POINT THAT HE/SHE MUST LOOK "UNDER" THE CURTAIN OF DARKNESS TO CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD. IF, HOWEVER, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, VISION IS MUCH IMPROVED (ALTHOUGH ONE CAN FAINTLY SEE THE DARKENED TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD). NOT ONLY IS THIS SITUATION UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS.

WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON RT. 95 IN DELAWARE, THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED ON MY THREE MONTH OLD 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE SOUND WAS SIMILAR TO A LOUD GUN SHOT, FOLLOWED BY A CRACKLING NOISE. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN MY CAR DID NOT SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING HIT THE CAR ROOF, AND NONE OF THE SURROUNDING VEHICLES TOOK ANY ACTION THAT WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE SKY. THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED, SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE CABIN. PRICE HONDA IN DOVER, DE, REPLACED THE SUNROOF GLASS UNDER WARRANTY. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARLTON, NJ, (BURNS), WAS RELUCTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED AND EVEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE US FOR TOUCH-UP PAINT. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEWS REPORTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY MAKES AND MODELS. NHTSA SHOULD PUT AUTO MANUFACTURERS ON NOTICE ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND COMPEL THEM TO TAKE ACTION TO ENSURE ALL SUNROOF GLASS IS THICK ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE FUTURE GLASS FAILURE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SEVERE ACCIDENTS WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME AROUND THE CUP HOLDERS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL CAUSED A BLINDING AFFECT WHEN THE SUN HIT IT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD TO PULL OVER TO KEEP THE GLARE FROM THE SUN FROM MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES AND THE ROADWAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 6/3/15

AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF OUR NEW HONDA ACCORD WE WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT BEGAN RAINING. IT WAS A STEADY TO HARD RAIN AND AS THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER WOULD BRING THE WATER OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THE WATER WOULD BUILD UP AGAINST THE LEFT SIDE MOLDING AND BECOME TRAPPED THERE THEN IT WOULD GET PULLED BACK WITH THE WIPER ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING MY VISION TO MY LEFT. IT WOULD POOL ON THE LEFT SIDE BETWEEN THE MOLDING AND THE WIPER THEN COME BACK WITH THE WIPER BLADE AS IT RETURNED OBSCURING MY VISION. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT GIVES THE WATER NO WHERE TO EXIT OR DRAIN SO IT IS PULLED OR BLOWN BACK ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AS THE WIPER COMES BACK TO THE RIGHT. THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THIS DURING A LIGHT RAIN.
