Sunroof shattered by model year
What owners say
Driving on freeway, at speed limit. All was clear. The sunroof spontaneously exploded. Nothing struck it, it just exploded on its own.
Our sunroof on our Honda 2022 Pilot spontaneously shattered while we were sitting at a stop light. Nothing fell on it and nothing hit, it just suddenly shattered while we were sitting in the stop light.
While driving on I-26 at 60 MPH at approximately 2PM on 01/08/2026 the sunroof exploded. It was not struck by anything, no other vehicle was within a half mile of us at the time. Fortunately the cover was closed because we do not use the sunroof. It has only been opened one time a the delership the day the car was delivered new. This sunroof explosion was loud and frankly scared the heck out of us. Had the cover not been kept closed we would have been showered by broken glass. This could have easley resulted in a driver panic and a crash. I feel this is a manufacturing defect and based on numbers of events through various Honda models and years should covered by Honda recall/warranty coverage.
Sunroof exploded while driving at a normal rate of speed with no cars surrounding us. Upon inspection, there was no debris within the roof hold that would denote a rock or something causing incident. We jumped a lane but no cars were around. All occupants were safe.
Vehicle moonroof exploded while driving.
The sunroof exploded while driving on the interstate. It is available for inspection. If I was driving with sunroof open the exploded glass could have caused injury.
Driving down the highway with the sunroof cracked open and there was a loud noise and quickly had to close the sunroof and the slider because the sunroom shattered. No one saw any debris.
Glass moonroof spontaneously shattered. While driving there was a loud explosion noise as if something was dropped from above and hit the roof. We saw nothing that might have come from traffic in front of us and there was no damage to the metal roof. Traffic was thick and we may have only been moving at 30 mph.
