We were driving down the highway and all of the sudden we heard a loud crashing sound above our heads. We pulled over and discovered the sunroof had exploded. There was not any inclement weather nor was there a object that hit it. It exploded and shattered from the middle. After researching on the internet, this has happened to several Honda owners, different makes and models. When contacting Honda they said there was no recall. Although some dealerships replaced the sunroof for free. This is a safety issue if glass explodes above your head while driving. It's also not an insurance issue. Feel free to google "Honda sunroof explodes", lots of affected consumers. This definitely needs to be a recall.

2003 Honda Accord. The consumers vehicle only 3500 miles and has been serviced 5 times for the same ignition problem. The consumer was told nothing can be done and the consumer would have to live with the vehicle not starting. The cabinet door under the radio had to be replaced because it began vibrating audibly, the sunroof had to be re-greased and shimmied.

There is a constant rattle on the sunroof of my vehicle when it is closed. I took it to the dealer, and they said they would have to remove the entire sunroof just to check it. I have been hesitant to take it in due to the possibility of more damage. The dealer is downey Honda (downey, California).
