NHTSA Complaint #11143800 — 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY

WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE SUNROOF IN MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY EXPLODED. I HAVE TRAVELED THIS ROAD MANY TIMES, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH MILD TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT TRAFFIC. I BOUGHT THIS ODYSSEY NEW. IT CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 69,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WERE NO HOMES, BUSINESSES, PARKING LOTS, OR ANYTHING OF THE KIND AROUND ME. NO OVERPASSES, POWER LINES OR OTHERWISE. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE EXPLOSION. I HEARD A LOUD POP THAT I THOUGHT WAS A GUNSHOT OR LARGE SOMETHING HITTING MY CAR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS, AND FELT SOMETHING HIT MY ARM. I LOOKED UP TO SEE THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. AFTER READING ONLINE THAT MANY OTHERS HAD HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO REPORT IT IN HOPES THAT OTHERS MIGHT NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME SCARY EXPERIENCE (WHICH COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE), INCONVENIENCE, AND EXPENSE.
