Forward Collision Warning feature On 02/16/24 I was traveling east on I-630 at about 60 mph. While driving at that speed I saw a foreign object in my lane but I could not swerve in neither right or left lane as there were vehicles traveling in both lanes when my car hit the foreign object the object became lodged under the car dragging it at least 20 to 30 feet the car lost power myself and passenger had to push car out of road to shoulder to keep from getting killed as it had lost power and would not start. The Forward Collision Warning feature did not alert me of the object nor of the vehicle’s traveling ahead of me nor vehicles traveling in left and right lanes along side of me that I attempted to avoid hitting. I had previously filed a complaint about the warning lights and malfunctioning features on the car to dealership on 2019 2020 and 2021 I was told it could be a series of reasons why the warning lights are all on and the car features shut down even the car losing its power I was never able to get my car on the recall list for this I filed a complaint with Honda Manufacturer 2022 and was told that someone would be in touch but no one ever called I took the car back to dealership tech stated that the cracked windshield maybe the cause of the warning lights coming on so I got windshield , spark plugs, battery twice, replaced all for tires twice kept scheduled services up to par warning lights still on in-car still losing power in the middle of traffic on 01/20/24 I tried getting appt for fuel pump recall dealerships states they donot have the inventory to replace fuel pump I was told when Honda manufacturer contact dealerships giving the go ahead to repair I will l be contacted fast forward to 02/16/24 this is the result of none of features functioning especially the Forward Collision Warning feature my car now is at a loss of use it does not start the oil panel was damaged the radiator was crushed the sensor dislodged and body was damage to vehicle

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.

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.

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.
