| Description of the problem | We were driving on highway 5 north around roseburg or at about 65 mph and suddenly the sunroof glass exploded outward. It was a sudden and load explotion and was very very very frightening. We are attaching a picture of the damage. Note, we feel fairly confident nothing from the outside caused this and believe this has been caused by a defect in the vehicle. We highly encourage the appropriate authorities to investigate this further as we believe this is a very dangerous issue. Feel free to contact us as we do have several more pictures. Note, we're taking the vehicle into the honda dealership in portland or to have the glass repaired. Also note, we informed our insurance company of the incident and they stated they have seen this same issue many times before. |
