2011 Honda Accord Body & Structure Problems

Your sunroof suddenly shattered while you were driving on the freeway in clear weather with no other cars nearby, causing glass to fall into your eyes and nearly causing you to lose control of the vehicle. Honda is refusing to cover the repair and is asking you to pay $1,000. The sunroof may have failed due to a manufacturing defect or structural weakness that could require replacement of the entire sunroof assembly.

NOTICE LARGE AMOUNT OF PAINT CHIPPING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED AND WASHING IT WITH WATER HOSE. IT'S NOTICEABLY A BAD PAINT JOB BECAUSE IT'S JUST 7 YEARS OLD WITH LARGE PAINT PATCHES CHIPPING OFF.

1ST ISSUE: INTERIOR LEATHER ON DOOR PANEL BUBBLES WHEN IN SUN AND HAS STARTED TO COM OFF DRIVERS DOOR SIDE. 2ND ISSUE: OUTSIDE FRONT COVER/PANEL OF CAR FELL OFF DUE TO WORN PLASTIC BOLTS WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. 3 ISSUE: WHILE PARKED AND REMOVING ITEMS FROM TRUNK, TRUNK CAME DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE FOREHEAD. ALSO, TRUCK WILL NOT STAY DOWN UNLESS I CONTINUOUS SLAM IT WHICH HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO LOCK. BUMP WITH SLIGHT CUT TO FOREHEAD.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T SNAP BACK INTO PLACE AFTER USE. I USE IT TO HELP PROTECT MY EYES FROM THE SUN WHILE DRIVING, OR TO HOLD UP THE SUN SCREEN WHEN PARKED. INSTEAD OF SNAPPING INTO PLACE AFTER USE, IT DANGLES DOWN ABOUT 2" IN FRONT OF MY FACE. I'M OVER 6' TALL AND THE DANGLING VISOR CAN BLOCK BY VIEW. HONDA HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE CIVIC MODEL A FEW YEARS BEFORE AND THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T FIXED THE POOR DESIGN.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 NEAR RUSKIN FLORIDA WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IMPLODED FOR NO KNOWN REASON. FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL RESPONDED AND COULD NOT SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF THE VEHICLE BEING STRUCK BY ANY FOREIGN OBJECT. GLASS ENDED UP IN SEVERAL PLACES INCLUDING BEHIND ME (THE DRIVER AND SOLE OCCUPANT), UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT, THE FAR REAR RIGHT SEAT AND FLOORBOARD. I HAVE PHOTOS. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 6:40 P.M., JULY 11, 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

MY HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR COUPE'S SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH NO EXPLANATION WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A SMALL CITY HIGHWAY. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY LARGE REAR WINDOW BUT WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING BEHIND ME I COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY SUNROOF. I DID NOT HAVE IT OPEN AND THERE WAS NO CAR OR TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME TO EXPLAIN THIS "EXPLODING SUNROOF". I WAS CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS APPROACHING BEHIND ME AND ALSO FOR MY SAFETY SO I PULLED OVER AND LEARNED THAT MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I HAD TO GET TO WORK SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS WAS VERY SHOCKING AS I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH AND THE "EXPLOSION" COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED A DRIVER THAT MAY HAVE LESS "NERVES" OR HEALTH ISSUES THEN I, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL MY EMOTIONS AND PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HURTING MYSELF OR ANYONE AS THERE WAS A CAR NEXT TO ME AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO PASS BY IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME AS I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUNROOF TEMPERED GLASS IS COMING THINNER NOW IN ORDER TO MAKE THE AUTOMOBILE LIGHTER. THIS DEFINITELY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AS I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ITEM THAT ARE BEING PUT IN AUTOMOBILES AND COULD POSSIBLY ENDANGER THE PASSENGERS AND OTHERS NEAR AN "EXPLODING" SUNROOF AUTOMOBILE AS GLASS WAS "FLYING" OUT AND MAY HAVE HURT ANYONE CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING THIS UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE SUCH AS MINE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND EVEN IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN, I HATE TO THINK "WHAT IF" THEIR WINDOWS WERE OPEN AND SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING OUT FROM A CAR WITH A SHATTERING SUNROOF HIT THEIR EYES OR ANY PASSENGER OR EVEN A PEDESTRIAN THAT MAY HAVE BEEN NEAR THE CAR AS THE WIND WAS ALSO VERY STRONG THAT MORNING THAT THIS HAPPENED TO ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH ALL AUTOMOBILES WITH SUNROOFS. THOSE READING THIS SHOULD ALSO "GOOGLE" OR WATCH "YOUTUBES" ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TENSION ROD, THAT HELD THE TRUNK OPEN, FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY COMPLAINT BUT MORE OF A DEFECT. I HAVE A 2011 HONDA ACCORD AND IT HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUE. I HAVE LEATHER INTERIOR AND THE ARM REST ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR BUBBLES IN EXTREME HEAT. ONCE IT COOLS OFF, IT LAYS BACK DOWN SOME, BUT NEVER FLAT AS IT SHOULD BE. IT IS CONCERNING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ON A CAR THAT IS NOT THAT OLD. UPON GOOGLING THIS ISSUE, I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DEALER (PRIOROITY HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE, VA) SAYS THAT ITS THE GLUE AND IT WILL BE $150.00 TO REPAIR. REALLY....I WOULD HAVE BEEN BEST OFF GETTING CLOTH INTERIOR. THIS IS THE 3RD HONDA I HAVE OWNED, BUT AFRAID IT MAY BE MY LAST. *JS

THE TRUNK LID ON MY WIFE'S 2011 HONDA ACCORD CAME DOWN AND HIT MY FOREHEAD AND CAUSED A CUT AND BLEEDING. THE HONDA TRUNK LID DOES NOT STAY UP IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN ALL THE WAY UP. THEY HAVE NO SAFETY DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE TRUCK LID AS OTHER VEHICLES HAVE. THIS TRUNK LID HAS HIT MY WIFE AND I A FEW TIMES. WHEN WE PUSH IT UP, WE EXPECT IT TO STAY UP IN ALL POSITIONS LIKE OTHER CARS. THIS IS A UNSAFE CONDITION THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO ANYONE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS SITUATION. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND ALSO WROTE TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE TRUNK LID. "IT WOULD NEED A MODIFICATION AND WE DON'T DO THAT". PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THE POWER OF THE LID COMING DOWN SO FAST CLOUD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES, TO ADULTS AND CHILDREN.

THE TRUNK ON THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD DOES NOT STAY UP UNLESS YOU PUSH IT ALL THE WAY UP. I WAS LOADING A BAG INTO THE TRUNK AND THE TRUNK CAME DOWN AND HIT ME ON MY FOREHEAD. I RECEIVED A CUT FOREHEAD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT. MY WIFE WAS HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND I WAS HIT. IF A SHORT WOMAN/CHILD CAN NOT PUSH THE TRUNK ALL THE WAY UP, IT COULD COME DOWN AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. A MODIFICATION CAN BE MADE BY INSTALLING A DOOR HOLDING DEVICE AVAILABLE IN MANY OTHER VEHICLES. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO HONDA AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE ARE NO SAFETY WARNINGS ON THE TRUNK. *TR

FAULTY LUMBAR SUPPORT IN HONDA ACCORD SE 2011. THE LUMBAR SUPPORT IN THE ABOVE MODEL IS FAULTY AND IS RESULTING IN SERIOUS BACK-ACHE TO MANY DRIVERS (ONLINE POSTS CAN BE CHECKED). EVEN WITH ZERO SETTINGS ON LMBAR SUPPORT, IT PROTUDES OUTSIDES RESULTING IN BACK PAIN TO MANY INCLUDING MYSELF. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AS DUE TO UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION AND THE RESULTING PAIN CAUSES THE DRIVERS TO MOVE AND ALTER POSITIONS OF SITTING, CHANGING THE SEAT SETTINGS WHILE DRIVING. THE PAIN ALSO RESULTS IN TAKING MIND OFF TRAFFIC AND WHATS HAPPENING ON THE ROAD. THE ISSUE IS SOMETIMES EXPERIENCED BY MANY ON DRIVING MORE THAN 30 MILES ON THE FIRST TRY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
