I was driving on freeway and I heard an explosion. Glass rain down on me. My sunroof shattered for no reason. I was driving with no cars ahead, beside or behind me. The weather was clear. I suffered with glass in my eye and I almost lost control of my car. Honda said they won't fix it with mr having to pay 1,000.00 dollars. I want to join class action lawsuit.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 honda accord. The contact stated that during inclement weather, water leaked into the vehicle between the roof and door frame and rubber seal. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
10 hours after the car was last driven or touched, the door spontaneously caught on fire. It seems the spark came from the door locks and power window master switch area. I have video of it happening. It burned for nearly 10 minutes. The entire door is almost completely melted.
I was backing into a parking space and suddenly my car accelerated. I side swiped one car; hit the cement block at front of the parking space and then went about 10 feet and hit the side of a pickup and finally the car stopped. No one was injured, however my car was totaled
Notice large amount of paint chipping off while driving and while parked and washing it with water hose. It's noticeably a bad paint job because it's just 7 years old with large paint patches chipping off.
Interior water leak on driver side when it rains or car is washed. Airbag is getting wet. Dealer cannot fix

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 honda accord. While unloading the trunk, it independently shut. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to poway honda (13747 poway road, poway, ca 92064) where it was diagnosed that the rod fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.
1st issue: interior leather on door panel bubbles when in sun and has started to com off drivers door side. 2nd issue: outside front cover/panel of car fell off due to worn plastic bolts while vehicle in motion. 3 issue: while parked and removing items from trunk, trunk came down and hit me on the forehead. Also, truck will not stay down unless I continuous slam it which has caused damage to lock. Bump with slight cut to forehead.
The driver side sun visor doesn't snap back into place after use. I use it to help protect my eyes from the sun while driving, or to hold up the sun screen when parked. Instead of snapping into place after use, it dangles down about 2" in front of my face. I'm over 6' tall and the dangling visor can block by view. Honda had a similar issue with the civic model a few years before and they obviously haven't fixed the poor design.
