| While driving down the interstate window on the driver's side door exploded and shattered into millions of pieces of glass. some of the glass cut my husband's (he was driving) face and arms.*ak the temperature does not seem to have been a factor, as it was only 80f. since purchasing the vehicle, the front windows have always had a problem with their seals. we have always experienced a whistling sound coming from the windows when we travel on the interstate. we think the poor seal construction may have been a factor. | |||

| There appears to be a defect in the temperlite glass on four of the windows described. it is inside the two panes of glass with no apparant cracks in glass or molding. the inside of the glass, or the adhesive material used in between the glass is bubbling which causes poor vision. the vehicle is currently inoperable because of fear of poor visibility. i have notified honda and am providing them with a letter of liability and informing them that i will be contacting several consumer safety administrations and commissions since they refuse to correct the problem under my extended warranty purchased for the vehicle. this is a severe problem which seems to be possibly caused by some type of contamination or vapors present when the glass was constructed, stored, or installed in the vehicle. | |||

| My drivers side window slowed then came to a complete stop one rainy day while going through a toll booth. i was trying to close the window. it stopped halfway open or shut depending on your point of view. i brought it to my mechanic and took a peak while he repaired it. the clamps attached to the motorized track, that hold the window in place while moving up and down, had loosened up. the slack had cause the clamp to shift position during movement and the window in turn slid out of alignment. this caused the window to jam against the door frame. the last time this happened it was also during rainy weather. | |||

| Rear view mirror is improperly located and is non-adjustable creating a very large forward looking blind spot for people 5'10 and taller. a possible remedy would be to move the mirror up 1 however the mirror is currently not adjustable. i'm concerned that the large blind spot could contribute to future acciddents and pose safety risk to other motorists, pedestrians, etc. *ak | |||

| Windshield developed a crack which starts at the base of the window below the plastic molding and is continuing to grow larger. dealer claims there is no defect with the window, and the probable cause is a pebble striking the windshield. when the crack was initially noticed it was about 3 in. in length. it has grown close to 6 in.. the windshield of a 2+ month old car cannot develop a 6 in crack from a little pebble without there being a stress fracture of some kind with in the original glass. furthermore the crack starts at the base of the windshield further suggesting a defect. intend to contact the manufacturer in the near future. | |||
