Approximately 4 days ago came out to my car (in the garage) to discover a large stress crack in my windshield starting at the very edge of the lower right portion into the drivers view. No rock damage was visible the windshield nor was there any kind of accident. Took it to my Honda dealership, and got a shrug in response. They wanted insurance to cover it. I was told that this problem is quite common with the 2018 2.0 T models, but nothing has been done.
2018 Honda Accord visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 34 of 34, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Parts of windshield, rear window and side windows have distortion. I would describe it as though one hasn't turned on the windshield wipers during a pretty heavy mist (not a downpour).
Windshield is incredibly fragile. Has cracked and gotten chipped under minimal driving. There is a prohibitively high cost to replace because of driver assistance camera attached directly to windshield.

While parked safely in my garage my windshield suffered a stress fracture. It starts at the passenger side frame and stretches 13 inches out across the windshield. I took it to the dealer who informed me that the car would be covered under warranty when I called. I later found out after waiting two hours there that it would not be covered. This is an on going issue with accord windshields and should be recalled. There are numerous complaints here and on other sites of stress fractures without any kind of rock damage to the windshield. This needs to be reviewed and covered.

Windshield chips started from almost day one of purchase. The smallest of road debris have caused multiples of glass chips to accumulate across the windshield over time. The first surface of the glass is very "brittle" and easy to chip with the lightest of contact. Chips form easily at low speeds. As compared to other vehicles I have driven, an unusually loud "snapping/cracking" sound occurs upon any windshield contact including bugs and rain. Chips occur in irregular "clusters" upon impact. I have never experienced this on other vehicles. I have tried to ignore the peripheral chips but now they are starting to form in my field of view. Very dissatisfying and disappointing.
On entering a touchless carwash, windshield loudly cracked. There was a minor stone chip near the start of the two cracks that appeared, but it did not penetrate the first panel of glass. Two cracks were approximately 18 inches long
Had the car about 6 months, and have half a dozen small rock chips in the glass. Had safelite come out to repair and they said they are getting a ton of these new accords in for repair and replacement but my chips were too small to repair. Guess I have to wait for them to crack and spread and get a whole new $1,000 windshield. This glass seems way too prone to chips and cracking. Other owners are complaining about their windshield cracking with no signs of visible damage.
I got my first crack on my windshield 2 weeks after buying it. Never heard the rock hit it . It was a very teeny tiny nick and turned into a long crack across my windshield. The second crack was today. A rock came from a semi truck traveling in the lane next to me as I was passing on the left side lane. Immediately after the rock hit. The windshield cracked. I have a line splitting across my passenger side and now another along the driver side. It seems the glass is made very poorly. The windshield cracks easily. I have owned a ton of vehicles. Rocks hit the windshield from time to time and never caused a crack across my windshield. A nick maybe yes, but not an instant crack that will not stop.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle's software was updated per the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v629000 (back over prevention, visibility).

My car has cracks in the windshield located outside of the vehicle from both sides on the wiper blades trails. It has not been hit by a rock. I noticed it on two different occasions when I was using the wipers on rainy days. I was told by the glass repair shops that it was caused due to the heated wipers while it was cold outside. The vehicle was in motion and while driving in the rain to work the cracks appeared to travel longer on the windshield.
My windshield developed a stress crack on the lower mid driver side that started at the pillar and spread to the center. Took to three different shops and all stated it was a stress crack. Other accords of the same year are having the exact same issue.

Faulty backup camera. While backing up hit a car and honda is not taking any responsability.
I got the recall letter regarding safety recall for reprogramming of rearview image for free. I went to tenafly honda dealer in nj with a scheduled appointment. They told me that I had to see the manager before recall check up. For 20 minutes later, he said my car is not for the recall. There as re several customers are the same situations like me. He printed out that there is no recall. I highly suspicious that. I have a recall letter but they are saying that my car is not recall. When I come to see the federal safety agency website to check my vinyl number, it shows 0 but shows 11.3.2018 updated information. Please investigate this if they just updated the system without really checking the car at all. What did they update the system while refusing my recall service? I saw others had the same situation. They turned the people away from recall service while they are saying there is no recall. I am not sure about this. I hope they don't fraud on people' recalls on cars. This is related to the person's life and safely. My car is fine but I want to make sure on my recall status. Dealer never checked my car at all regarding recall.
Heavy rain started to fall while traveling 70 MPH on a highway. Windshield wipers not moving fast enough causing me to become blinded and no ability to see while huge trucks soon pass straight me causing more water to land on the windshield.
Windshield wipers wouldn't work while driving in rain on highway. Pulled over, went to service station, they had me turn car off and checked some fuses. Then warning lights came on about the vehicle stability control, braking and various safety features. This morning when I started car and backed out of driveway the wipers started working but the warning lights are still on. Took it to dealer this morning.
