2010 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A LOUD "POP", IT SOUNDED LIKE GUNFIRE SO I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME AND NON WERE CLOSE. I LOOKED AT ALL MY WINDOWS AND THEY WERE IN TACK BUT I HEARD THIS LOUD GUSHING OF WIND COMING FROM OVERHEAD. WHEN I STOPPED, I REALIZED IT WAS MY SUNROOF. IT HAD A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND IT LOOK AS THOUGH IT HAD COME FROM THE INSIDE AS THE REMAINING GLASS WAS PROTRUDING UPWARD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND THEY STATED IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I GOOGLE TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR IT AS THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD NOT, THAT IS WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, SO I AM REPORTING MY ISSUES IN HOPES THAT THE CAR MANUFACTURERS WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AS USUAL TO WORK ON I-405 WITH 55-60M/H SPEED AND SUDDENLY HEARD A BLAST, LIKE SOMEBODY SHOT ME THROUGH WINDOW. I WAS IN SUCH A SHOCK THAT ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING. BUT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO STAY IN LANE. AS MY OFFICE WAS PRETTY CLOSE, I DECIDED TO INSPECT WHAT HAPPENED AFTER REACHING THERE. HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING TO OFFICE, I CONTINUED TO BE SCARED AND IN TRAUMA AND COULD ALSO HEAR AIR COMING IN THE CAR. BY THE TIME I REACHED OFFICE I HAD A HINT THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY SUNROOF, OR IT IS OPEN. AFTER COMING OUT OF MY CAR IN THE OFFICE PARKING I SAW THIS HUGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF GLASS. AND PIECES OF GLASS SHATTERED IN THE SUNROOF FLAP. BECAUSE OF SEATTLE'S DARK CLOUDY CLIMATE, I USUALLY KEEP MY SUNROOF FLAP OPEN FOR SOME LIGHT TO COME INTO MY LUCK, THIS MORNING IT WAS CLOSED. OTHERWISE, MY FOUR MONTHS OLD ALMOST LOST HER MOTHER OR I COULD BE MISERABLY HURT WITH TINY GLASS PIECES. FOLLOWING DAY ON SATURDAY,12/31/2016, I CALLED LOCAL HONDA SERVICE MANAGER, AND HE SAID IT WILL COST ME $770 FOR FIXING THE SUNROOF. HE SAID HONDA WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD WARRANTY LIMITED TO 3 YEARS AND 30,000MILES WHICH IS EXPIRED. SO, INDIRECTLY HONDA SAID, WE WILL KEEP ON SUPPLYING FAULTY SUNROOF GLASS. IF IT EXPLODES WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD, WE WILL AT THE LEAST COVER FOR IT. AND IF YOUR WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND YOU DIE BECAUSE OF IT, WE DON'T CARE. ALSO, HONDA SAID THAT I CANNOT GET SUNROOF GLASS FIXED BEFORE TUESDAY, 1/3/2017 BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE GLASS ORDERED BEFORE TUESDAY AS EVERYBODY INCLUDING HONDA ARE VACATIONING FOR NEW YEARS. AS THERE WAS SNOW STORM WARNING ON 12/31/2016 AND MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF TOWN, I IN SEVERE COUGH AND COLD HAD TO RUSH TO NEAREST LOWES WITH MY 4 MONTHS OLD ALSO COUGHING, TO GET A TARP AND DUCT TAPE, SO THAT I COULD SEAL THE SUNROOF AND PROTECT THE CAR'S INTERIORS. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, HONDA CARS OF COLUMBIA, FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL WHICH WAS REPAIRED. I INFORMED THEM OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND OF ERROR CODES THAT APPEARED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO WITHOUT ENGINE LIGHT ON. I CALLED HONDA CARS OF AMERICA AND AFTER GETTING THE RUN AROUND, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR CAMPAIGN FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND UNDER ENGINE MISFIRE IF THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN TO TAKE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD REPLACE SPARK PLUGS 1-4 AND UPDATE SOFTWARE. I HAVE A V6. THE CAR USES 2-4 QTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS TO REPLACE ALL SPARK PLUGS AND UPDATE SOFTWARE. YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
