general problems of the 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid

While driving at highway speed, the sunroof exploded. No object struck the glass to cause the damage. There was very little glass inside the vehicle and the explosion appears to have been outward.

I purchased a new 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid on June 30, 2018 from Honda of kirkland for my daughter. On Monday, February 25, 2019, when she was driving back from class on a road at 35 mph, the collision mitigation system brake warning flashed then braked immediately, stopping the car in traffic. No obstacles or cars were in front of her. Fortunately, the cars behind her were far enough away that they were able to stop. In addition, she tried to get out of the way of traffic by pressing the accelerator, but the car would not respond for several moments after the automatic braking occurred. She also told me that the brake warning had been coming on often when nothing was in front of her. In addition, the lane departure feature has been malfunctioning, trying to pull her to the left lane into oncoming traffic when driving on curving roads. The car is currently at the Honda dealership, but the only thing they found was "a little dirt" on one of the sensors, stating that there was nothing wrong with the Honda sensing system. I have found class action lawsuits filed against Honda for faulty collision mitigation systems on at least two of their models (accord & crv). In addition, I have found pages of results for these problems with Honda and Acura (Honda corporation) when simply typing in "collision mitigation system problems". Please see the links below.

While accelerating onto a highway between 35 and 60mph, this vehicle occasionally exhibits a roaring sound that can fool the driver into believing that a large truck has come upon them and is immediately to one side or the other. This created an unsafe situation in my case when I took my eyes off the road ahead the first several times the noise occurred to visually search the sides for a closely approaching vehicle that did not actually exist. Honda has verified this roaring noise problem on my vehicle as well as numerous other 2018 Accord Hybrids, but has failed to correct the problem, informing me only that they are "searching" for a solution to the problem. I am used to the roaring noise now, and know when to expect it, but if someone else drives my car they will more than likely react in an unsafe manner exactly as I did during the first few noise occurrences.

New 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid makes low frequency "buzzing" noise while parked in garage several hours after 30 minutes or more ride. Buzzing noise not heard immediately after engine shut off. Noise not heard until serendipity accessing garage at least two hours after engine shut off. Multiple occasion "buzzing" sound located in trunk where lithium batteries are!.
