I was driving/exiting a parking garage onto a street into traffic. Suddenly, the panel lights and and cabin lights started flashing and the radio and ac cut off, and immediately after, the car cut off and I coasted, through cars moving at speed, to the side of the road. The car was in motion on a city street. At the Honda dealership they took a few days to contact me, then told me I need to pay $800 for a battery cable before they diagnose any issues with the alternator.
I went to a car wash on 8/9/2017 with attendants. When the car came out to be buffed the employees pulled the car over to be inspected. They said the sun/moon roof had shattered. After much discussion as to any problems such as rocks or other injuries I called my dealer which was nearby. I drove it there after the hole in the roof was somewhat secured by plastic and tape. The dealership made no mention of other problems of a sun roof. They said they could fix it. I ordered a new sun roof which is to be delivered tomorrow. I was not made aware that this was a known problem in other cars with sun roofs until searching the internet the next day. Hole is taped now so will get pictures when I get to the dealership tomorrow, 8/11/2017.
