Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)LEAVING WORK THIS MORNING, I TURNED ON MY CAR AND ACTIVATED THE REAR DEFROSTER. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINTUES, MY REAR WINDOW LITERALLY EXPLODED SOUNDING LIKE A CANNON WENT OFF RIGHT BEHIND MY HEAD. I WAS DRIVING AT APROX. 15 MPH ON A EVEN ROAD SURFACE SO IVE RULED OUT VIBRATIONS AND ALSO IT WAS ABOUT 75 DEGREES F SO HEAT COULDN'T HAVE CAUSED IT FROM RAPID TEMP CHANGES. THE ONLY THING I HAVE LET TO WONDER IS IF IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER THAT CAUSED THE GLASS TO BECOME TOO HOT AND CAUSE THIS. MY DEALERSHIP HAS NOT TAKEN ANY MEASURES TO PULLING AMPS FROM THE DEFROSTER TO SEE IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER AND HAVE REFUSED TO SERVICE THIS UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. IS THERE ANY RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER HONDAS? IF SO, I MAY BE ABLE TO PROVE IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE NEAR THE TIRES. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE RADIO TO HEAR THE NOISE AND NOTICED A WIND NOISE. THE CONTACT THEN SLID THE COVER FOR THE SUN ROOF BACK AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF GLASS HAD BLOWN OUT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE ROUND ROCK HONDA DEALER (2301 N INTERSTATE HWY 35, ROUND ROCK, TX 78664; 512-904-6900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GLASS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS COMMON. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,500.
I HAVE A 2015 HONDA CIVIC WITH THE LX TRIM PACKAGE. THE SCREEN FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA IS SMALL AND BACK ABOUT 3 INCHES UNDER THE DASH OVERHANG. IN BRIGHT DAYLIGHT THIS SCREEN IS UNREADABLE DURING BACKUP DUE TO LIGHT WASHOUT AND GLARE. IT WORKS WELL AT NIGHT, BUT ALMOST NOT AT ALL IN SUNLIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MOUNTED REAR WINDOW THERE IS NO VISIBILITY FOR SEVERAL FEET BEHIND THE CAR WHEN BACKING UP WITHOUT THE BACKUP CAMERA. I HAVE BACKED INTO SEVERAL THINGS THAT DID NOT STICK UP ABOVE THE TRUNK LINE THAT COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY BEEN A SMALL CHILD. THIS CAR HAS THE WORST DAYLIGHT BACKUP VISIBILITY OF ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I BELIEVE IT IS UNSAFE.
