2022 Honda Odyssey: sunroof shattered

Filed Sep 4, 2026 · AZ

Exploding SunRoof: I was driving on the east bound 2020 freeway about 65 mph. There were no taller cars or trucks around, no overpass. All of a sudden there as a huge bang. The glass of the sunroof had exploded. It has not been used in 2 years. I cannot think of anything that could have caused it. I have only opened the sunroof once back in 2024 when I got the vehicle just to see what it was like; I haven't used it since then. When I stopped, it looked like a basketball and gone through the glass. I can't image how dangerous it would have been if the inside cover had been opened and the glass had sprayed the car. I did not get a picture of it. I drove directly to State Farm and they looked at it an approved the repair without photos.

The glass sunroof exploded on our 2022 Honda Odyssey. No prior issues, dents, etc., serviced consistently by the local dealership. While driving on the highway an explosion sound occurred overhead. No overpasses were nearby, nor were any projectiles witnessed. Thankfully, the interior sunroof shade was completely closed, preventing the thousands of pieces of broken glass from falling into the vehicle. Thankfully, we were also able to avoid an accident in the moment. Talked to local dealership and Honda Americas. Both simply said I was out of warranty, even though this is a massive safety failure. A simple google search will show this is a known issue across Honda Odyssey sunroofs, Honda CRV back windshields and Honda HRV back windshields. All of these cars should be recalled.

The glass of the sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving down the highway. It made an explosion sound and dropped shards of glass all over myself and my child. I am in the process of finding replacement glass for the vehicle. It is less than a year old, and the dealer does not have replacement parts nor does it know when they can get one. There were no warnings before this happened. The vehicle has never had any damage and is stored in an interior garage. The damage happened at 55 degrees on a dry overcast day in Nashville, TN.
