THIS CAUSES LITERALLY A PAIN IN MY NECK FROM STRAIN, AND SIMPLY A DANGER SINCE THE ANNOYANCE IS A DISTRACTION FROM DRIVING. *TR

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY COMPLAINT BUT MORE OF A DEFECT. I HAVE A 2011 HONDA ACCORD AND IT HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUE. I HAVE LEATHER INTERIOR AND THE ARM REST ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR BUBBLES IN EXTREME HEAT. ONCE IT COOLS OFF, IT LAYS BACK DOWN SOME, BUT NEVER FLAT AS IT SHOULD BE. IT IS CONCERNING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON A CAR THAT IS NOT THAT OLD. UPON GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DEALER (PRIOROITY HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE, VA) SAYS THAT ITS THE GLUE AND IT WILL BE $150.00 TO REPAIR. REALLY....I WOULD HAVE BEEN BEST OFF GETTING CLOTH INTERIOR. THIS IS THE 3RD HONDA I HAVE OWNED, BUT AFRAID IT MAY BE MY LAST. *JS

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW THE GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF FLYING OFF INTO THE ROAD. THE TRUCK BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS THE DEBRIS. WE WERE IN AN OPEN AREA - NO BRIDGES OR OVERPASSES. WE STOPPED, LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE, TURNED AROUND AT THE NEXT EXIT AND CAME BACK TO LOOK AT THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS, JUST PIECES OF GLASS IN THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO OTHER CHIPS OR NICKS ON THE CAR BODY. I HAD HAND WASHED THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE AND THERE WERE NO CHIPS IN THE SUNROOF. HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY, ALTHOUGH THEY HAD SEEN THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO AN ODYSSEY. THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. ABOUT 2/3 THIRDS OF THE SUNROOF BROKE OFF. LUCKILY WE HAD THE COVER DOOR CLOSED OR WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH BROKEN GLASS. APPARENTLY THEY ARE USING CHEAP LIGHTER WEIGHT UNLAMINATED GLASS WHICH DOES NOT HOLD UP. THE WEATHER WAS IN THE 80'S AND CLOUDY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD . *TR
