What owners say
While driving on September 6, 2023 I sunroof exploded and had glass everywhere. I almost killed myself. Very very dangerous and Honda should be held accountable (Sunroof glass Exploded)
While driving this Honda accord the sunroof suddenly exploded into thousands of little pieces.It rained down pieces of glass all over me and the interior of the car. Nothing hit the glass and I had never heard of this occurring until I began researching to see if it had happened to others. There are many instances where people have talked of this happening to them on the Honda forum and other places online. This is definitely a safety concern. Glass shattering and pouring down on people while they are driving is potentially a fatal flaw. Cars with sunroofs should be required to use laminated glass like for windshields,
2017 honda accord sunroof explodes as driving on major highway. Upon contacting honda, there response was it was out of warranty. When I asked to speak to a supervisor they refused. I was travelling home from work when I thought random shots were being fired at my vehicle. I am thankful this loud explosion did not cause an accident. This is a major safety concern and one that honda is ignoring.
