I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD ON THE INTERSTATE I-44 EAST NEAR FORT LEONARD WOOD MISSOURI. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE IN FRONT OF ME OR AROUND ME. WEATHER WAS CLEAR, TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE MID 50S. NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE OCCURRED. THE SUNROOF ON MY VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED AND EXPLODED SENDING GLASS THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. FURTHER, WHILE CLEANING UP THE GLASS MANY OF THE PIECES WERE SHARP AND GLASS SPLINTERS WERE PREVALENT. THERE WERE NUMEROUS NICKS AND CUTS ON MY HANDS AND MY SON'S HANDS FROM CLEANING UP THE GLASS WHICH WAS EVERYWHERE. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR (PARTICULARLY A CHILD), THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. MY SON WITNESSED THIS AS WELL - HE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AGAIN, BOTH OF US CAN CONFIRM THAT THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR TO THE SIDE OF US AND NOTHING HAPPENED (SUCH AS A ROCK FROM A VEHICLE IN FRONT) THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO SHATTER. FURTHER, THE FACT THAT IT SHATTERED THE WAY IT DID WITH SHARP GLASS AND SPLINTERING THROUGHOUT THE CAR IS PROBLEMATIC. I HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITH HONDA TO NO AVAIL. I CONSIDER THIS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. A SUNROOF SHOULD NEVER EXPLODE IN THIS MATTER ABSENT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, HAD THOSE SMALL, SHARP SHARDS OF GLASS AND SPLINTERS HIT SOMEONE'S EYES IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED A VERY SERIOUS INJURY. BASED UPON SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET, OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME OCCURRENCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UP I-95 NORTH IN ABOUT WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA AT ABOUT 60-65MPH. SUDDENLY, I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND A LOUD WIND SOUND AS IF THE WINDOW WAS OPEN. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULLED BACK MY SUNROOF SHADE, COME TO FIND THAT THE ENTIRE SUNROOF GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE SHADE BACK AND DROVE HOME AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I DID NOT WITNESS ANYTHING HITTING MY CAR, THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD DETERMINE IS THAT I HAD MY HEATER TURNED ON HIGH BECAUSE IT WAS SO COLD THAT DAY. MY ASSUMPTION IS THE EXTREME TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES AND PRESSURE THAT CAUSED MY SUNROOF TO SHATTER. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C NOT COOLING, SO I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ASSESSMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT A LINE WAS NOT WORKING AND I HAD A FREON LEAK. THEY PLACED DYE IN THE FLUID TO DETERMINE WHERE THE LEAK ORIGINATED. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS COMING FROM THE CONDENSER. THIS PART IS LOCATED IN THE GRILL OF THE CAR AND ISN'T PROTECTED IN ANY WAY AND THEY DECIDED IT HAD BEEN DAMAGED, WITHOUT PROOF, FROM SOMETHING I HAD HIT, SUCH AS A ROCK. THEY THEN INFORM ME THAT MY FULL WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT, AND INFORMED ME IT WOULD COST $432.00 TO REPAIR. THEY ALSO CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE FREON CONTINUES TO LEAK AND WILL NOT COOL THE CAR. IT ALSO CAUSES A FOUL SMELL TO COME INTO THE CAR. I DO NOT BELIEVE CONSUMERS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING TO REPLACE A PART THAT IS PUT IN A PLACE THAT IS VULNERABLE TO DEBRIS OR ANYTHING, WITHOUT PROTECTING IT IN SOME WAY. *TR
