Driving at highway speed and sunroof glass spontanious exploded. Wasn't under any over passes or behind any vehicles. Luckily, I had the inside cover closed or I would've gotten shards of glass on my head and face while I was driving.

The RF and LR door locks won't unlock or lock with the switch or the key fob. By not being able to lock or unlock those doors, if I had an accident my passengers would not be able to exit the car. I have tested this several times and the only way to unlock or lock is manually by pushing the switch on the door itself. It has not been inspected by anyone other than me. and the problem started with the LR door lock not working, now has also started on the RF door, the LR started about 2 months ago and the RF started 3 days ago.

While driving this Honda accord the sunroof suddenly exploded into thousands of little pieces.It rained down pieces of glass all over me and the interior of the car. Nothing hit the glass and I had never heard of this occurring until I began researching to see if it had happened to others. There are many instances where people have talked of this happening to them on the Honda forum and other places online. This is definitely a safety concern. Glass shattering and pouring down on people while they are driving is potentially a fatal flaw. Cars with sunroofs should be required to use laminated glass like for windshields,

THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND ONE THAT HONDA IS IGNORING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK HONDA BRADENTON (5515 14TH ST, WEST BRADENTON, FL 34207) WHERE THEY CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, BUT THE NOISE CONTINUED.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE ON THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND SAW A LARGE HOLE ON THE SUNROOF. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LARGE ROCK AT FIRST, BUT THEN I SAW THE GLASS BY THE BROKEN EDGES PUSHED UP. IT STARTED FROM INSIDE OUT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD EXPLODED ON ITS OWN BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THERE WAS NO TRUCK SHOOTING ROCKS AT MY CAR.

NOTICED SOME RUST ON THE BUMPER THERE IS A LAYER OF PAINT AND METAL THAT SCRAPED OFF FROM ROCKS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE UNDER METAL HAS HEAVY RUST IT HAS NOT SNOWED HERE IN TEXAS SO THERE IS NO SALT ON THE ROADS. WE HAVE ONLY HAD RAIN. I'M AFRAID THERE MAYBE OTHER PARTS OF THIS NEW VEHICLE THAT ARE GOING TO RUST LIKE THIS OVER TIME.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A GAS PUMP. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I STARTED THE ENGINE, LEAVING IT IN PARK. I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO CHECK MY GAS CAP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS QUITE FAST. I RAN IT DOWN, OPENED THE DOOR, BUT BEFORE I COULD BREAK IT THE DOOR WAS SERIOUSLY BENT. I BELIEVE THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS A FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION WHERE THE GEAR SLIPPED FROM PARK TO REVERSE.

THE WIND NOISE IS NOT AT ACCEPTABLE RANGE. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE PAST 45 MILES PER HOUR, IT IS UNBEARABLE. THE NOISE IS HEARD BY FRONT AND REAR PASSENGERS. PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 12/9/2016 AND HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.
