1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2017

I was driving to work on the sam houston tollway going about 70 miles (with the flow of traffic) in 65 degree weather when I heard a loud sound like an explosion. I could not pull over where I was so I continued to drive. I heard the wind like you would if your windows were down a bit. I pulled the opening of the sunroof (the cover that is inside the car) and I heard the glass. I shut it immediately and drove to work. Upon arriving at work I inspected the sunroof and found no debris that would indicate something had struck my car. I called my husband and he had researched this and saw the article that brought me here to your website.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/27/2017

While driving my car, I re-positioned the driver side sun visor so that it would cover the drivere side window. During the re-position, the visor detached itself from the car. The visor would not go back into the socket, so I had no other choice but clip the right side of the visor into it's socket and allow the left side of the visor to hang. I had to hunch down for the remainder of my commute in order to have full visibility while driving. Once parked, I was able to work with the visor for several minutes to get it back into the socket. The visor cannot be pivoted to the left driver side, it falls every time. The visor can only remain parked or unfolded without detaching itself from the car. I face the sun during my commute to and from work, so not having full access to my visor is troublesome for my vision. I took my car in for an oil change and the dealer said, "it seems fine to me. " the problem still exists. I am reluctant to pivot the visor to take a photo because it takes so long to get it back into the socket.

Driver side windshield wiper sucks water back into the middle of the windshield as it swipes back - thus severely hindering visibility while driving in the rain.

7 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2010

I bought a new 2010 Honda Accord at marin Honda in larkspur, California on Sunday 1/31/2010. But I did not pick up the car until Monday 2/1/2010 because the car was "not prepared" on Sunday evening. I drove the car home from the dealer in the afternoon on 2/1/2010 and I began to notice a rattling noise coming from the hood on driver side. I brought the car back to the dealer on Tuesday morning where a mechanic suggested that the noise maybe coming from the defective housing unit of the windshield wiper. The mechanic ordered the new part but it will not be available until next week. The noise has been persistent and getting stronger/louder when I applied the brake and when the car is idling at intersection. The steering wheel also appeared to shake whenever this loud rattling noise came out. I am afraid that this problem maybe more that just a defective housing part of the windshield wiper, hence I am reporting this to assure that electrical problem or brakes problem are not the issue for Honda (in lieu of what is going on with Toyota cars at the present time). Please let me know if you had similar complaints for the new model Honda Accord. I had been a loyal customer of Honda but this incidence is making me very concerned about their quality assurance service before releasing new cars into the market. I thank you for the important work that you do to keep consumers like me safe on the road.
