Narrative

Car sunroof exploded while driving on highway, was going 65 on the 75(N central expressway) Dallas,TX. 3 passengers (family) in car and witnessed the incident. Glass shattered and got all over us, minor injuries such as cuts. Almost hit somebody upon explosion and glass shattering which landed on me and passengers, luckily we didn’t crash. Weather was 62 degrees and took place at 10:02 PM so weather wasn’t too hot or too cold to cause the explosion. Super scary as we could have been hit, especially driving on a highway where you can’t stop and pull off right of way. Again no objects were thrown and the car has no other damage but sunroof. Person on roadside said that this has happened before to Hondas and Acuras. After brought to Dealer twice, I was told by Honda that they are not responsible for the car and never offered to even fix it or quote it. I bought/ leased the car 2 months ago and yet they are saying it’s not a manufacturing issue.
