I drove the car to the spot to park my car, with the normal way as always, lower the speed so I can get into my spot. All of sudden, I felt like something pushed really hard behind my car and it moved forward really fast, I couldn't expect anything like that happened at the moment and lost control, it hit the parking pole so hard and my front end broken

We were on vacation last week as we were driving at approximately 70mph on I-64 eastbound in Virginia we heard a loud popping sound an then loud airflow. We quickly realized our sunroof had exploded. Thankfully we had it closed and the shade was also closed and no one was hurt. Nothing hit our van and we were not involved in a accident the sunroof just suddenly exploded. When we were able to pull over we found the center of our sunroof was completely shattered. We have found other reports online of this happening.

The paint on my back hatch of my van is cracking and peeling off. We bought this vehicle 2 years ago certified pre-own from a Honda dealership. It has roughly 50K miles on it. I do not believe the paint should be chipping like this.

Quite often, the vehicle does not respond to the accelerator when moving slowly, I.e. at an intersection, or when stopped. It happens most often when initiating a turn, from a stop or slow roll. The hesitation is unnerving! it can last a half-second, which is a long time when cars are approaching. It may be the accelerator, the engine, or the transmission. Seems the engine is not being told to increase power in real time. The dealer, of course, will not do anything unless it can be duplicated, which is hard to do in a short test drive with a technician. They want $106 for every time I try. I am sure Honda is aware of the situation, but they put it on the dealer, so no action is taken. Thank you Honda for ruining our faith in your product!

When cleaning our evenflo symphony convertible car seats, I found the straps which restrain our children cut wearing on the seat plastic in the exact same spot on both seats. The first seat is model number 3451953, manufacture date: 5/13/2010. The other (newer) seat (model 3101964, made 2-14-2013). I contacted evenflo and they said to just throw the seats away, which we did. I attached a picture of the oldest seat.

I placed the van in park and left it running at the top of a driveway walked about 40-60ft and about 3 minutes later it comes rolling down the driveway and hits the corner of house and me. Bounces back 23 feet and stops. Gear shift is still in park and car is running. Air bag inflates and alarm goes off. Turned off engine and removed key.

As vehicle was traveling on interstate, occupants heard a sudden, loud noise from roof of car. No flying debris was noted, no other vehicles nearby, no trees, etc. In vicinity. As soon as was safe, we exited interstate and opened sunroof cover to find that the glass had completely shattered, and there was actually a large section in the very center that was gone. The vehicle had been parked in an enclosed parking garage all weekend (48 hours) in extreme heat. The local dealer will not work with me through my warranty, and I am having a hard time finding a local auto glass dealer who can even order the replacement glass, except through the dealer. I have contacted the corporate office for Honda but have yet to hear back from them. Everyone I have spoken to (glass repair folks) states that it almost has to be due to abnormal stress on the glass and should be covered by warranty on a 1-year old vehicle.
