Same annoying glass within the inside rearview mirror occasionally starts moving rapidly up and down within the plastic housing while driving and even over the smallest parking lot surface cracks. This is constant for a few minutes of half of the entire trip. Makes the rearview almost useless and also the driver possibly dizzy. Surprised that making the rearview unexpectedly useless isn't enough of a safety issue to draft some attention. My dealer looked at me like I was crazy and denied any possibility of how this could be true, intermittently. Zone rep useless. I found this similar complaint, thank god I am not alone - and look same model and year ! - cut and pasted it here : complaint number: 10159064 summary: during hot weather the mirror section of the inside rear view mirror became loose and began to vibrate, I pushed on the mirror section and it moved back and forth in the plastic housing. It became very distracting while driving, and also the vehicles I could see in the rear view mirror were distorted and not clearly seen. I told the dealer, they in turn called the engineers, who told my service department that they know about the problem, to fix the problem the dealer said they have to install some spacing material to stop the mirror from vibrating. The engineers said heat cause the spacer holding the mirror expands due to excessive heat.

My 2005 Honda Accord ex has three features that compromise my safety: 1. The right-hand corner of the sun visor, when in its fullest position (not at an angle), obscures nearly half of the rearview mirror. This has caused a number of "near accident" events. 2. The Honda is designed to downshift when going downhill. Not only does this diminish gas efficiency, but can cause skids in icy weather. 3. The brakes are extremely sensitive. I have spoken to two area Honda service centers and a service representative at Honda headquarter. The area managers say that "they're all like that; there's nothing we can do," and the Honda headquarters rep says the same. She even went so far as to recommend I get the lower half of my windshield tinted to prevent sun glare! what about night driving? I can't believe that solutions to this problem cannot be found. Can you help in any way?.
