Driving down the highway on April 6, 2024 I hear a loud explosion and the passenger rear window had exploded sending glass flying everywhere. The window is completely exploded. Today was the first warm day that I had to turn the air conditioning on in the car and 5-10 min after I turned the air-conditioning on, the window exploded.

Driving highway speed (65mph). Glass sunroof shattered for no reason. Nothing appears to have hit the sunroof, no debris on road and no trucks or other cars. Researching on web, it appears other people are also experiencing the same issue.

Car has auto lift and close for rear door. When loading rear or vehicle door will close without warning. This has happened twice, both times I was under door when ir closed, once it hit me it stopped and went back up, I almost fell down. Item 2. when washing rear of car rear door will open on its own while spraying door. If this would happen in an automatic wash it could cause serious damage or injuries to occupants. This can happen when car is off not running. Thanks.

Ice can get stuck in the exterior door handle, not allowing you to open your car door from the inside. A scary issue in colder climates. I replicated the issue with my passenger side door.

Hood is misaligned from the factory resulting in hood latch misalignment and bending. Latch drags on mechanism when closing. Per Honda certified body tech, metal fatigue will eventually cause latch to fail possibly leading to hood coming unlatched during driving. We didn't notice until several days after accepting delivery

My 2020 Honda CRV was on a city street in motion less than 50 miles per hour when we heard a very loud noise/ explosion. We were not near any overpasses or underpasses. No object struck the vehicle. At our destination, we looked over vehicle and discovered the sunroof/ moonroof had exploded. The temperature outside was around 65 degrees to 70 degrees. This vehicle had just came out of the garage 10 minutes prior.

The automatic closing of the tailgate is hazardous and has closed on me several times. Car was parked and not moving every time leaning into the rear of the vehicle with feet under the bumper is enough to close the tailgate.. turning around when near the bumper will cause it to close.one time I was knocked down tring to avoid the closing and fell and took several layers of skin off my shoulder and arm. Once it starts it will not stop even if a person tries to hold it.

Soon before driving my new vehicle, in a preliminary inspection, I found extensive rusting around the exhaust pipes and system. The mechanic from the dealership said that was normal. Just before driving, the millage screen read as 000019. The dealer told us this is 0.019 of a mile. Soon after I drove my car out of the dealership, I experienced 4 episodes of car becoming unstable, flipping from one side of road to the other. This occurred over a 23 miles of driving in high way. I called the dealership immediately. They dismissed it as normal. At arrival, after driving 23 miles, the mileage screen read 42 miles. The dealer then admitted the initial read was in fact 19 miles not 0.019 mile.
