We were driving on highway 5 north around roseburg or at about 65 MPH and suddenly the sunroof glass exploded outward. It was a sudden and load explotion and was very very very frightening. We are attaching a picture of the damage. Note, we feel fairly confident nothing from the outside caused this and believe this has been caused by a defect in the vehicle. We highly encourage the appropriate authorities to investigate this further as we believe this is a very dangerous issue. Feel free to contact us as we do have several more pictures. Note, we're taking the vehicle into the honda dealership in portland or to have the glass repaired. Also note, we informed our insurance company of the incident and they stated they have seen this same issue many times before.
While driving on an interstate traveling 70 MPH the backseat passenger side window (which was closed completely) shattered and imploded into the entire backseat and floor of vehicle. Driving straight, 70 MPH on interstate with cruise control on, no object collision. Vehicle is approx. 6 months old (purchased new) with just under 10k miles on it. Vehicle only serviced by honda dealership and otherwise in mint condition. Affected window was undamaged prior to the event; no cracks, star markings, or chips noted on window prior to event. Back of car filled with shattered glass and tiny shards of glass. Fortunately nobody was in the backseat at the time.
Chipped and/or cracked honda windshield seems to be a problem. This is our 3rd honda cr-v (2010, 2013, and 2016) and with each vehicle, the windshield would chip easily from a stone or pebble on the highway; try to repair but the chip/crack would spread; and so, each time the windshield had to be replaced. Safelite tried to repair it on our current cr-v since our insurance company recommended them but the crack spread. We normally go to norman's (burlington nj) as they do a great job. They replaced it with a ppg oem at about $300 total, which is far less than you wanted to charge. My complaint is why do honda windshields crack so easily? We've had other brands such as jeep and gm/chevrolets and they don't seem to get chips or cracks when a stone hits the windshield. Are we unlucky with hondas or are their windshields weak? The replacement ppg oems seem to be stronger as well.
