Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 2010 Honda Accord

Once a year while driving the front end of the car starts making a loud thumping noise. It almost sounds like the engine is thumping against the front hood. The car will then completely break down. When trying to start the car again it will not start, but the lights and radio will turn on. When I took my car to Honda the advisor first advised the piston rings in the engine needed to be replace, but I guess since the car service manager did not want to replace it he had the team replace my stark plugs.

I was driving as usual to work on I-405 with 55-60m/h speed and suddenly heard a blast, like somebody shot me through window. I was in such a shock that almost lost control of my steering. But somehow managed to stay in lane. As my office was pretty close, I decided to inspect what happened after reaching there. However, while driving to office, I continued to be scared and in trauma and could also hear air coming in the car. By the time I reached office I had a hint that something is wrong with my sunroof, or it is open. After coming out of my car in the office parking I saw this huge hole in the sunroof glass. And pieces of glass shattered in the sunroof flap. Because of seattle's dark cloudy climate, I usually keep my sunroof flap open for some light to come in. To my luck, this morning it was closed. Otherwise, my four months old almost lost her mother or I could be miserably hurt with tiny glass pieces. Following day on Saturday,12/31/2016, I called local Honda service manager, and he said it will cost me $770 for fixing the sunroof. He said Honda will not cover it because the sunroof glass had warranty limited to 3 years and 30,000miles which is expired. So, indirectly Honda said, we will keep on supplying faulty sunroof glass. If it explodes within warranty period, we will at the least cover for it. And if your warranty is expired and you die because of it, we don't care. Also, Honda said that I cannot get sunroof glass fixed before Tuesday, 1/3/2017 because they can't get the glass ordered before Tuesday as everybody including Honda are vacationing for new years. As there was snow storm warning on 12/31/2016 and my husband was out of town, I in severe cough and cold had to rush to nearest lowes with my 4 months old also coughing, to get a tarp and duct tape, so that I could seal the sunroof and protect the car's interiors.

While driving on 414 maitland, out of no where I heard a loud "pow!" though I didn't feel like it, I thought a bird or meteorite or street light cover had fallen from the sky and landed on my vehicle. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a black square object fall from the sky and the car behind swerve out of its way. At that point I could hear small pieces of something bouncing around in the pocket between the moon roof and the cover, and rolling on, over and off of the my car. I pulled over to investigate the matter more thoroughly, expecting to see a dead bird, blood & feathers, or a rock, or a street light cover sitting in the area where my moon roof glass use to be, instead I found a huge gaping hole(approx. 12" x 17" in the middle of my moon rood and the remainder of the glass around the perimeter of the hole arched like a hill. I determined that the "pow!" I heard was the glass exploding, and the black piece of something that was falling from the sky in my rear view was the portion of glass. I it was cloudy and looked like it might ran, so I immediately went to the nearest shop (publix) and bought a box of 2 mil contractor garage bags, some shipping tape and taped one of the bags of the top of the vehicle. I then retraced my path I the interstate to make sure that something didn't fall from the sky and that the glass had in fact exploded. I found nothing, except the shards of glass that was once my moon roof. I then went home, parked the car and began research "exploding moon roof". Come to find out this is not an alien occurrence and specifically with this manufacturer, year, make & model. Https://www. Bogleheads. Org/forum/viewtopic. . Read more...
