When sun is in front of car and low in the sky, windshield looks as if it is covered with dirt, to the point that I cannot see through it. I want to get it replaced asap, so it may or may not be available for inspection. When this happens, I cannot see anything in front of me: cars, people, the road. No. Yes, by a Honda dealer.
Drivers side sun visor sagging on my 2017 Honda Accord. Make it hard to see road way. This also happened on my 2010 Honda Accord. I called Honda to report issue and they told me a could purchase a new one for $230.
BACKUP CAMERA DROPPED WORKING.
MY CAR WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK AND A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD RAN FROM THE RIGHT SIDE ACROSS AND DOWN THE WINDSHIELD. NO MARKS OF IMPACT AND NOTHING FELL ON IT IN THE GARAGE.IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 2017-2020 HONDA ACCORDS. I THINK IT IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CREATES STRESS ON THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED WHILE YOU'RE GOING AT A HIGH SPEED.
