The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. While approaching the vehicle, the contact noticed that the rear driver side window was shattered. He initially filed a police report because he assumed that the vehicle had been vandalized. His insurance company sent someone to repair the glass. The contact was later notified of NHTSA campaign id number 06V326000 (visibility:glass, side/rear); however, his VIN was not included in the recall. The failure and current mileages were 43,000.
Traveling on interstate 64 when the rear glass shattered and imploded into the vehicle. Glass was projected into the cockpit of the car (all over the place). Drivers side window was down completely, along with the passenger window down approximately 3". dealer ship was called and they ask that the car be returned immediately. There were no other passengers in the vehicle. The driver was covered with glass debris and also obtained a small cut on forehead. Traffic was mild.
: the contact stated while attempting to open the drivers side window, it came off the tract. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The dealer maneuvered the window back into the tract, however it was determined the problem would reoccur due to the type of materials the tract was made of. The manufacturer has not been alerted.
Rear windshield lifts off at right rear pillar when the air of closing the driver or passenger door pushes it out of the frame. Two days later at the service appointment, the rear windshield had lifted off the entire roof line, with a height of 2 inches at the right rear pillar. Honda service dept. Said they'd never seen anything like it; the caulking had not been sufficient to keep the windshield in place. They reglued it. An acquaintance in NJ saw the same thing happen to the 2006 Honda coupe in front of him. He changed lanes fast.
