On 12/19/2018, at approximately 1630, I was driving on I-76N; 60 mph the hood of my car flew up, crashing into the windshield. Fortunately, I was in the LH lane and was able to coast to the median. My windshield was cracked. The force of the hit was so strong it knocked off the rear view mirror. Damage: Hood, windshield and roof car was totaled

While driving down the fairfax county parkway (westbound between greenspring village and rolling rd) at about 40 or 45mph, the hood on my 2006 Honda CRV opened by itself. It flew open and obstructed the window. I had to stop in a travel lane before proceeding to the shoulder at low speed. I'm lucky I wasnt hurt and didnt cause an accident. I had not opened the hood in weeks.

Honda CR-V leaks rainwater onto floors of vehicle. An inch of water in the passenger compartment makes it dangerous to operate pedals which become slippery from footware, water damage to fire extinguisher and other safety equipment stored on floor for times of emergency. Many, many complaints from other CR-V owners experiencing the same problem online. I dried out the carpet, it rained again and another inch of water inside the vehicle. If mildew/mold grows this becomes a serious health hazard jepordizing anyone riding in the vehicle, especially those with compramised immune systems.

Called 911, fire dept arrived and put fire out. Chester county fire marshall arrived @4:30am, nothing suspicious noted. Car and contents were a total loss. Driveway was ruined, but fortunately no other structures were involved.

During heavy rains, water will seep in under the carpets from somewhere forward and lower than the windshield. The water comes from under the dashboard, usually on the passenger side. It does not drip in, but rather soaks up from under the carpet. I personally have seen the water grow up to 2 inches in depth above the carpets. After some internet searching, similar problems were found in earlier models of CR-V. the issues found stemmed from faulty/old factory seals on items like the firewall and A/C vents. Please contact with more questions if this information is unclear or could be improved.
