Sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving. Sunroof is not safety glass and shattered into thousands of shards. If the inner cover had been open the driver would have been hit in the face with these glass shards while driving at highway speed. There was nothing on the roadway that could have caused this explosion. Smooth paved road and no close traffic. We believe it is a defect and the type of glass is inherently dangerous to be used in a motor vehicle.
The window pillar is made of cheap thin plastic that melts easy and I believe is a fire danger. I have had two incidents, the first in July of 2021 shortly after I purchased my vehicle and I reported it to Honda product complaint 12387373. Honda replaced the molding with the same exact part. I have had another issue on the same side with the same part in a different location in the middle of February in 40 degree temperatures in front of an office building. Honda is saying there is no issue. I believe that since this has happened twice now it is a fire hazard.
ON 12 OR MORE OCCASIONS THE TRUCK BRAKED FOR NO REASON. NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. IT'S BEEN TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR THIS.
