Wiper problems of the 2011 Honda Accord

I was driving on I-75 near ruskin florida when the driver's side window imploded for no known reason. Florida highway patrol responded and could not see any evidence of the vehicle being struck by any foreign object. Glass ended up in several places including behind me (the driver and sole occupant), under the driver's seat, the far rear right seat and floorboard. I have photos. This happened around 6:40 p. M. , July 11, 2016. I have contacted Honda and they refused to do anything about it. . I feel that this is a severe safety issue and should be investigated. I have additional photos.

The contact owns a 2011 Honda Accord. While driving various speeds, the sunv isor mechanism detached and the contact sustained a head injury. Medical attention was not required. The dealer diagnosed that the mechanism that secured the sun visor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they would cover the part. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

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 .

My sunroof exploded while driving down the interstate with approximately 1/3 of the window blowing out while it was fully closed. I was driving on an elevated interstate without any cars around me. The sunroof had not been previously hit by a rock. The explosion sounded like a shotgun firing, shocking all 3 of the adults in the vehicle. The initial Honda dealership stated I was hit by a rock without seeing the vehicle. A second dealership said they could not determine why the sunroof shattered. Corporate Honda has stated the window is my problem and contact my insurance company.

The driver side sun visor doesn't snap back into place after use. I use it to help protect my eyes from the sun while driving, or to hold up the sun screen when parked. Instead of snapping into place after use, it dangles down about 2" in front of my face. I'm over 6' tall and the dangling visor can block by view. Honda had a similar issue with the civic model a few years before and they obviously haven't fixed the poor design.

The contact owns a 2011 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the sun roof suddenly shattered without warning. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The sun roof was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the issue. The failure and the current mileages were 41,298.

Ever since I purchased by 2011 Honda Accord crosstour the windshield has had problems: it scratches easily and it finally cracked after a very small rock struck it. It seems to chip like a drinking glass would rather than a windshield. I think the windshield glass is unsafe and not to standards. When I purchased the vehicle the salesman lamented about problems with Honda windshields and I should have reconsidered the purchase then. I have owned two other Honda vehicles and never had the problems that I do with this car. I am replacing the glass (I have to pay for it) within a month and would like to have someone test it to see if it meets regulations. The dealer intends to discard it otherwise.
