Accord 4-cyl

: the contact stated after the vehicle was parked in a parking lot for 6 hours, the back windshield shattered outwards. The contact inspected the vehicle to ensure that it was not vandalized. The glass was cracked into tiny pieces. There was nothing to indicate a foreign object as the cause of the incident. As soon as the vehicle was driven, the glass fell into the cabin of the vehicle on to the back seat.

While traveling in germany (us army) at safe cruising speeds averaging 100 to 115 mph (normal for germany), the black trim around the windshield came loose on the drivers side from bottom to top and was flapping in the wind. Noticed the passanger side trim was also coming loose. Depending upon speed, it was hitting drivers window. Incident was surprising and could have shocked the driver into an accident. It appears the trim was glued and notched so it could not come loose but left enough hanging over the painted areas to be caught by the wind. Appears to have failed. Going to see local dealer tomorrow for repair. Although my car was bought in md, aafes sells the same Honda Accord here to the military. Had to use duct tape and reduce speed to make it home without further damage.

Driver's front and rear and passenger's rear tire had blowouts. They were manufactured by Michelin. Angle of the construction of the windshield causes a glare for a couple of seconds which results in visual difficulty, and may cause a crash.

Windshield has distortions. There are vertical lines of distortion that are most apparent when looking through the windshield at an angle (I.e. sitting in the driver's seat and looking through passenger's side of windshield.) this is most distracting when making a right turn. It appears that something is moving in front of the car which isn't, but it also distorts things that are there. Dealer says this a known issue and have seen it in other cars, but they will not consider fixing.
