DRIVING VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK, ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT. SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD SOUND IN DIRECTION ABOVE MY HEAD. I GLANCED UP AND FOUND THE SUNROOF GLASS ABOVE MY HEAD TO BE SHATTERED AND THE WIND CREATED BY DRIVING AT THAT SPEED TOOK SOME OF THE GLASS OFF AND I BELIEVE SHOWERED THE ROADWAY BEHIND ME. I NOW HAVE A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF GLASS AND WHAT GLASS REMAINS IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. WHAT CAUSED THE GLASS TO SHATTER IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM OR WHATEVER IT IS CALLED SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WHEN I APPROACHED A SLIGHT LEFT CURVE IN THE ROAD AT 35 MILES PER HOUR (THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT). THE SYSTEM HAS ACTIVATE AT LEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE AT THE SAME PLACE IN THE RAD AND SAME SPEED, FOR NO APPARENT REASON OTHER THAN POSSIBLY A SIGN OR TREE THAT IS CLOSE TO THE EDBE OF THE ROAD. HOWEVER THIS TIME THE BRAKING WAS SO SEVERE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF A CAR HAD BEEN CLOSELY FOLLOWING ME. I PASS THIS PLACE IMULTIPLE TIMES EVERY WEEK FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT THE BRAKING PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED 4 OR 5 TIMES.

OIL LEVEL ON DIP STICK IS 1/2 ' ABOVE THE FULL MARK. HONDA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE FACTORIES FIX IN JANUARY 2019. 2500 MILES LATER SAME THING OIL LEVEL IS A 1/2 ' ABOVE HIGH MARK ON DIP STICK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. THEY HANDED ME A PIECE OF PAPER THAT STATES THAT THEY CONSIDER IT NORMAL DILUTION FROM UNTURNED GAS THAT DRAINS DOWN THE CYLINDER WALL AND INTO THE OIL PAN.

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND THE SERVICE COMPLETED BY THE DEALER FOR THE ISSUE OF FUEL GETTING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. I DROVE THE VEHICLE 1500 MILES OF WHICH 1000 MILES WAS HIGWAY TRAVEL OVER 2 DAYS. NOW THE OIL DIP STICK LEVEL IS ONE INCH ABOVE THE 'MAX FILL DOT'. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES 'DO NOT FILL THE ENGINE OIL ABOVE THE UPPER MARK.' 'OVER FLLING THE ENGINE OIL CAN RESULT IN LEAKS AND ENGINE DAMAGE.'
