Honda Pilot Visibility/wiper Safety Report | Apr 05, 2013
Reported on Apr 05, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING ON HWY GOT A FLAT TIRE. PULLED OVER TO GET HELP FOR FIXING TIRE. WITHIN FEW MINUTES REAR WINDOW GLASS SHATTERED WITH VERY LOUD NOISE - LIKE A BLAST. VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER IN THE CENTER MEDIAN - TO MY RIGHT 5 LANE HIGHWAY AND TO MY LEFT 2 LANES FOR HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLES. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS AROUND THE CAR (I CHECKED FOR OBJECTS THAT COULD HAVE FLEW OVER AND COULD HAVE HIT REAR WINDOW ? THERE WERE NONE). WINDOW SHATTERED COMPLETELY INTO TINY PIECES - DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT HAS BEEN HIT BY AN OBJECT. I SUSPECT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE WINDOW BY THE MANUFACTURER. HONDA PILOT WAS LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OLD AND RAN 1100 MILES. DEALER REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS COULD BE A MALFUNCTION. I DID A COMPLETE VISUAL INSPECTION AROUND CAR AND THERE WERE NO OBJECTS. REQUEST INVESTIGATION. *TR | |
