Approximately 4 days ago came out to my car (in the garage) to discover a large stress crack in my windshield starting at the very edge of the lower right portion into the drivers view. No rock damage was visible the windshield nor was there any kind of accident. Took it to my Honda dealership, and got a shrug in response.

Had the car about 6 months, and have half a dozen small rock chips in the glass. Had safelite come out to repair and they said they are getting a ton of these new accords in for repair and replacement but my chips were too small to repair. Guess I have to wait for them to crack and spread and get a whole new $1,000 windshield.

Defrost on the 2018 Honda Accord seems to have an intentionally compromised design whereby the vent underneath the windshield was made too small and does not deliver sufficient airflow in order to maintain sufficient visibility in colder/wetter conditions. This, in turn, compromises the safety as the visibility is severely compromised.

Parts of windshield, rear window and side windows have distortion. I would describe it as though one hasn't turned on the windshield wipers during a pretty heavy mist (not a downpour).

Windshield is incredibly fragile. Has cracked and gotten chipped under minimal driving. There is a prohibitively high cost to replace because of driver assistance camera attached directly to windshield.

Windshield chips started from almost day one of purchase. The smallest of road debris have caused multiples of glass chips to accumulate across the windshield over time. The first surface of the glass is very "brittle" and easy to chip with the lightest of contact.

My windshield developed a stress crack on the lower mid driver side that started at the pillar and spread to the center. Took to three different shops and all stated it was a stress crack. Other accords of the same year are having the exact same issue.

Heavy rain started to fall while traveling 70 MPH on a highway. Windshield wipers not moving fast enough causing me to become blinded and no ability to see while huge trucks soon pass straight me causing more water to land on the windshield.
