I was driving down the interstate, no other vehicles in front of or beside me. i heard a loud explosion sound and saw most of my sunroof land on the road behind me. no rocks or other projectiles impacted the glass before it happened. there was no previous damage to the sunroof. there were no warnings or indications that there was about to be an issue with it. the weather was cloudy with a temperature of approximately 70 degrees.
I am experiencing water leaking by the passenger seat. i took it to the shop and i was explained that they will have to remove the whole front part including the steering wheel to be able to fix the problem. according to the mechanic there is a sealant on rubber band that it underneath the windshield that has to be replaced since the band is really tin and need to be replace since the quality of it is not so good as the one that was used in the 2014-2015 pilots. so i live in a state where is always raining and so the water is getting in to my car, and i have to constantly change the towels as the passenger side floor gets so wet if i do not use anything to absorb the water. this fix will take at least 5 days to be repair and will cost me over $2000 to have it repair, when this is an issued cause for the bad rubber quality that honda used. *tr
Passenger and back left passenger windows either came off track or track became "gummed up". both issued occurred while in motion and within a few months of each other. window made this grinding noise when lowering and would not go back up. no incident was reported other then taking the car to the honda dealership to get an estimate. the grinding noise sounds like glass on metal when window is raised or lowered. required fix from dealership was a new track installed and window regulator replacement. repairs were quoted at $750 per window. one window goes bad and chalk it up as a fluke. same issue on both windows...manufacturer defect!
While driving 65 mph on the highway a sudden loud bang occurred which sounded exactly like a gunshot going off and glass showered down on my head. startled, i swerved on the highway, but luckily did not hit any other vehicles. i pulled off the freeway and found that my sunroof had exploded with no outside influence. it was shattered and the glass was blow out in an upward fashion, as if it had happened from the inside of the vehicle. i immediately took the vehicle to the local honda dealership and they stated that it was not from an outside source. i was given a loaner car and the dealership said they would take care of it, but this happened 9/23/2016 and it is yet to be seen if i will need to front any money out of my pocket.
