Owner report 11664322 · 2025-06-02 (June 2, 2025)
Friday May 30th, I was driving to work on the interstate. No cars/rocks or anything was in my path and all of a sudden the sunroof glass shattered causing glass to go everywhere. It alerted me so badly luckily I didn’t react in a way that could’ve been deadly. I had my shade cover back exposing the glass so when it just so suddenly shattered, glass entered inside the car. Honda is saying this is normal and it’s costing $845 to replace and I haven’t had this car a year and it’s shattered already?

Owner report 11666690 · 2025-06-13 (June 13, 2025)
My sunroof exploded. I was driving north on I-35 in the Kansas City metro. I heard an actual explosion, then the sound of shrapnel washing over my vehicle. I wasn't sure it was me at first. Nothing hit the car. I noticed a new noise like passing (raggedy) wind and started to slide the sunroof "cover" back and you could see the glass had exploded outward. Had I not had the sunroof shade closed I, and the inside of the car, would've been covered in glass.
