Wiper Problems of Honda Element

I had arrived home on 7/17/2025 and was sitting in my parked vehicle under my carport talking on the phone when I heard a very loud bang. I was disoriented and worried that my safety may be at risk, so I asked the person I was speaking to if they would stay on the line with me until I made it inside. I stepped out of the vehicle and was walking around the back of it when I noticed the rear quarter panel window on the passenger side was completely shattered. There was glass on the outside and inside of my vehicle, and nothing around my vehicle that would have caused it (I. E. Rocks, sticks, people outside, etc. ). I called the Honda service line to report the problem after reading that others had experienced similar, but I was told there was no recall for this issue currently. I reported this to my insurance and they scheduled a repair, but the vehicle has not yet been inspected as of today, 7/18/2025. It is available for inspection upon request. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Sun visor will not stay up and is blocking visibility of the road ahead. After looking online I see that this is an ongoing issue with similar models of Honda. It should be a safety recall for Honda as it may cause an accident.

The sun visor mount has loosened up over the last year or so. Today, I pulled down the sun visor to block the sun and when I accelerated the entire thing fell on my face while I was driving, temporarily blocking my vision. The entire mount and visor came out of the ceiling of my car and fell on me.
