Shattered-Exploded Sunroof
2010 Honda Accord
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Honda Accord some several significant flaws: excessive oil consumption, premature brake wear, & uncomfortable seats.
In October 2013, Honda settled a class action for excessive oil consumption which extends their V6 powertrain warranty out to 8 years & no mileage limit. However, is the inconvenience & risk of dealing with Honda on this problem worth it? We don't think so.
Premature brake wear has been a consistent problem for this Accord generation. Once again Honda settled a class action lawsuit over brake wear, but most 2010 Accords are NOT covered.
Owners have consistently reported uncomfortable seats with the entire 8th generation (2008-2012) of Honda Accords. Complaints range from back pain to leg circulation problems due to bad lumbar support, cushioning, & seat angle. Unwary buyers report the seat pain is mainly only noticeable after 15-20 minutes. The common theme we hear is "never noticed this during the test drive."

I have a story just like the rest that I have read and was SHOCKED that my incident was almost exactly the same. I was driving to work on the interstate this am. I was doing about 75 and all of a sudden, I thought I had been shot! I looked around thinking I wouldn't have a window blown out somewhere and then all of a sudden the sunroof glass came down on me. How I avoided wrecking, I have no clue. I did let off the gas and still don't know if someone was behind me but am very glad that I didn't loose control of the car or get rear ended. I drove on to work and could barely even get out of the car. I was completely traumatized at what I had just been through. Of course, it couldn't be a beautiful sunshiny day, it has rained off and on all day and I have had to plastic tarp my car so the rest of the car wouldn't be damaged or water logged.
I did contact my local Honda Dealership Owner, to which, I was told "that he had never heard of such"!! I suggested that he might want to google 2010 Honda Accord Exploding Sunroof and just look at all of the cases! He stated that he would get with his "service manager" and see if he had ever heard of it and would get back with me!
I did find out from calling around trying to get my car fixed that I could get a used sunroof and it would be as good as a new sunroof and would be half the cost. I am now pricing that option versus the $962 that the Honda dealership quoted me for a new one (parts/labor). I too, after seeing all of the same incidents with the same make and model of Honda Accord..........I guess it will take someone getting killed for Honda to finally realize they have a problem! My son could have been motherless this morning because of this! VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA
