Side/rear Glass Problems of Honda Civic

Spontaneous/catastrophic passenger side window failure. 2013 Honda, Civic si. The car was 3 weeks old and 2480 miles. While driving at 75 mph, the passenger side window exploded. The temp was 94 degrees, winds 20 to 25 mph on the nose. Most of the broken glass went out of the car, but some of the glass entered the car, into the right passenger seat and rear seat. I was the only one in the car. The broken glass was in small little pieces, some in little chips. I feel this glass could have caused injury to anyone in the passenger seat or rear seat.

A sudden collapse of the rear window the rear window collapsed upon itself for no apparent reason, filling the back seat with sharp shards of glass. The car was parked in the driveway, the day was clear and bright, and I was standing right behind the car when the rear window started to collapse upon itself. I shudder to think what would have happened to a baby restrained in the back seat if such a glass shower landed on it while driving. I had the rear window replaced at my own cost. My efforts to have the manufacturer reimburse me under the car warranty failed.

There has been no wreck or fire---this is a complaint for your TSB compilations. . . . We have an 08 Civic the transmission shifts roughly, and with delays. Slowing down and then re accelerating lightly causes a delay----as if the transmission/control module can't figure out which gear to get into--- and then a rough engagement. From d to reverse, there is a harder engagement than should be. It's as if there is a problem with the control module or the torque converter. My dealer says all these things are normal in a Civic auto transmission. We have an 07 accord exl and it has none of these problems, nor did any other vehicles I've had in the past with a. T. It seems there should be some control module reprogramming or software patch for this transmission. Also, as a safety problem, it is harder to see out of this windshield during rain, esp. At night, than any car I've driven. Possibly the extreme slant of the glass? as a safety problem, as well, the brakes have a soft pedal, as well, and require more force than our accord(much much more)or than any car I am used to, except one with air in the lines. . . . Dealer says this soft pedal is normal, as well.

Rear windshield lifts off at right rear pillar when the air of closing the driver or passenger door pushes it out of the frame. Two days later at the service appointment, the rear windshield had lifted off the entire roof line, with a height of 2 inches at the right rear pillar. Honda service dept.

An acquaintance in NJ saw the same thing happen to the 2006 Honda coupe in front of him. He changed lanes fast.

While driving down the interstate window on the driver's side door exploded and shattered into millions of pieces of glass. Some of the glass cut my husband's (he was driving) face and arms. The temperature does not seem to have been a factor, as it was only 80f. Since purchasing the vehicle, the front windows have always had a problem with their seals. We have always experienced a whistling sound coming from the windows when we travel on the interstate. We think the poor seal construction may have been a factor.

There appears to be a defect in the temperlite glass on four of the windows described. It is inside the two panes of glass with no apparant cracks in glass or molding. The inside of the glass, or the adhesive material used in between the glass is bubbling which causes poor vision. The vehicle is currently inoperable because of fear of poor visibility. I have notified Honda and am providing them with a letter of liability and informing them that I will be contacting several consumer safety administrations and commissions since they refuse to correct the problem under my extended warranty purchased for the vehicle. This is a severe problem which seems to be possibly caused by some type of contamination or vapors present when the glass was constructed, stored, or installed in the vehicle.
