Sunroof shattered by model year
What owners say
Driving down the highway and heard a loud “boom”. Thought it was a tire blowout, but realized that the sunroof exploded. I did not hit anything. The temperature was approximately 70 degrees. Was the car the day before and did not notice any damage to the sunroof. Luckily the cover was closed so no glass fell inside the vehicle compartment. Reading of multiple occasion of this occurring to Honda vehicles.
While driving on the highway at 65 mph I heard what I describe as a very loud popping noise on the top of my car. I looked in my rearview mirror to see chunks of black falling behind my car. I immediately put my four ways on and made my way over to the shoulder of the road; this was during rush hour traffic. I had to wait until I could safely exit my car to see what had happened and I discovered my sun roof had shattered for no reason. Nothing had hit it, nothing bounced on the road in front of me and hit my roof, nothing had flown off of any vehicles near me.
Driving highway speed (65mph). Glass sunroof shattered for no reason. Nothing appears to have hit the sunroof, no debris on road and no trucks or other cars. Researching on web, it appears other people are also experiencing the same issue.
Sunroof window spontaneously exploded while driving. I was the only vehicle on the road when the window exploded. Happened at approximately 630am. Have searched but no recalls on this issue, only a class action lawsuit.
My moonroof glass randomly shattered while driving on the highway. There was no sign of rocks or other debris that might have been the cause.
Spontaneous sunroof shattering/explosion. While driving on a highway the sunroof on my Honda 2020 CRV AWD vehicle suddenly shattered and blew out completely. As I was on a two lane busy highway - I-80 going East 2 miles south of Colfax I had to slow down and exit after driving 2 miles and find the frontage road. There have been many owners of Honda's that have experienced the same event. Honda should be responsible for installing faulty glass in their sunroofs.
My sunroof expoloded/shattered spontaneously. I was driving on the highway. I was mostly alone on this stretch of highway. I was not in a construction zone, under a bridge/overpass, or otherwise in an area that would produce any kind of projectile. There was not a truck or vehicle in front of me that could have kicked a projectile into the air. There was nothing that came through the sunroof into my car that I could identify as a projectile. My sunroon shattered at random. I have discovered others with this same issue both with honda and other manufacturers.
My 2020 honda crv was on a city street in motion less than 50 miles per hour when we heard a very loud noise/ explosion. We were not near any overpasses or underpasses. No object struck the vehicle. At our destination, we looked over vehicle and discovered the sunroof/ moonroof had exploded. The temperature outside was around 65 degrees to 70 degrees. This vehicle had just came out of the garage 10 minutes prior.
