UPON ACCELERATION FROM A TRAFFIC STOP, THE SUNROOF SHATTERED CAUSING SHARDS OF GLASS TO FALL INTO THE VEHICLE. THE SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED AT THE TIME. THIS WAS NOT A GENTLE "BREAK AND CRACK", BUT A VIOLENT SHATTER OF GLASS. ONE 8 YEAR OLD PASSENGER SEATED IN THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT SUSTAINED A CUT REMOVING GLASS FROM HIS SEAT. *TR

ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2010, UPON OPENING THE TRUNK, THE REAR CARGO AREA COVER DROPPED DOWN AND HIT MY FOREHEAD LEAVING A LARGE BRUISED LUMP. IT WAS COMPLETELY UNHOOKED WITH NOTHING HOLDING IT IN PLACE. TODAY, IS NOVEMBER 30, 2010 AND I STILL HAVE PAIN AND HEADACHES. THERE IS NO LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE REAR CARGO AREA COVER. IT APPEARS THAT THE SIDE HOOKS BECAME UNHOOKED (PRESSURE FIT ONLY) AND THE "MOUNTING PINS" ARE AS THE HONDA FLETCHER SERVICE MANAGER SAID, ONLY FOR GUIDANCE AND ALIGNMENT. NOT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT. THERE IS NOTHING …

MY 2010 HONDA CROSSTOUR SUDDENLY WENT FROM 60 TO 15 MPH DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND VSC LIGHT CAME ON, AND IT JUST LOST POWER. I NARROWLY ESCAPED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH SEVERAL CARS. THE OTHER DRIVERS HAD TO AVOID HITTING ME AS I SLOWED DOWN QUICKLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE COMPUTER SHOWS A MALFUNCTION, BUT NOW IT IS FINE. THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

PLEASE, PLEASE BACK OFF ON YOUR HEAD REST REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY. PLEASE ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO CHOOSE THE POSITION OF THE HEAD REST. NOT ONLY HONDA, BUT FORD, GM, CHRYSLER, ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE CREATING VERY PAINFUL CAR SEATS SINCE 2009 DUE TO THIS AWFUL HEADREST REQUIREMENT. SEATBELTS ARE A LAW, BUT I CHOOSE TO WEAR THEM. MOTORCYCLE HELMETS ARE NO LONGER A LAW, BUT I CHOOSE TO WEAR THEM. NOW LET ME CHOOSE MY HEADREST POSITION. I THINK THESE NEW DESIGNS ARE GOING TO CAUSE FAR MORE INJURIES AND INSURANCE CLAIMS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THEIR…

Honda is also recalling certain 2011-2013 Acura TSX, TSX Wagon and ZDX, Honda Crosstour, Insight, Fit and Pilot vehicles, 2011-2012 Honda Accord and 2011 Honda Civic NGV, Civic, Civic Hybrid and CR-V vehicles in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Lastly, Honda is recalling certain 2010-2013 Acura TSX and ZDX, Honda Crosstour, Fit, Insight and Pilot, 2011-2013 TSX Wagon, 2010-2012 Honda Accord and 2010-2011 Honda Civic NGV, Civic, Civic Hybrid and CR-V vehicles in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag air bag inflators assembled as part of the frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment (such as after a vehicle crash necessitating replacement of the original air bags), may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to higher absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.

Consequence: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are M2J and S2K.
