I was driving on a highway at 50mph and suddenly felt my car slightly jerk and make a popping noise. I did not see any obstructions prior to this, even though it felt like I had run over a tree branch. I pulled over as soon as possible and everything on my car seemed fine until I saw my sunroof was shattered. The middle part had completely broken off while the rest of the glass was shattered. It looked like something had fallen out of the sky and hit it, although it did not feel like anything had bounced off my car while driving. The sunroof door had been closed and I rarely open it (the last time I used it was at least 6 months ago).

I was driving my honda accord 2013 ex-l v6 on interstate 405 in washington state between bellevue and kirkland when I heard a large explosion over my head. Glass immediately fell on me and all over my car. I looked up and saw that my sunroof had broken into many pieces. The brunt of the glass fell on the passenger seat so I was lucky that no one was riding with me, but I still had a few cuts on my arm from the glass falling on me. Of course, in shock from the explosion, I swerved out of panic to the side of the road, which could have caused another accident if someone was on the right of me. Honda denies that the sunroof exploded and that a rock must have hit the sunroof, but I have seen countless first hand accounts on the internet detailing this same experience on multiple honda vehicles. Honda will not take ownership and I could have been seriously hurt or impaled from the glass. Honda should be held accountable. The sunroof glass is not up to par and there was no rock contained within my vehicle and I did not hear a loud thud when the explosion occurred.

I was driving down the highway at about 11 pm and the sunroof glass just exploded. Nothing hit the car and luckily the visor was closed or I would have crashed. This is a hazard and has happened in other honda accords. The dealer offered no recourse.
