Windows and sun roof

Honda Accord 2012 Accord ELX V6 85437 miles
My car is parked in a garage. When I went out this morning all the windows and the sunroof were open. I've bought the car new and this has never happened. What could cause this?

It looks like someone played with your remote and open the windows and sunroof. Remember that is one of the features that this cars has.

It's a terrible feature. I accidentally sat on my key fob for too long and now my moonroof won't close all the way.

Sunroof found open

Honda Accord 2010 Accord 176998 miles
Went to get to get in the car found the sunroof open. No other window open. I know if the key is pushed twice all widows open. The key fob does not work and just sun glass open. Now I have a battery drain while car sets.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the sunroof mechanism or its electrical components. If the sunroof is open, it can cause a battery drain as the electrical system continues to operate the sunroof even when the car is not in use. I recommend having a mechanic inspect the sunroof mechanism and its electrical components to determine the cause of the problem and make any necessary repairs. If the sunroof mechanism is found to be faulty, it may need to be replaced to resolve the issue.

Two months after the purchase, the navi went out on the vehicle. The navi was repaired; however, march 3rd, the back-up camera went dark on the screen; after several attempts it worked again.

Issues Accord 2014 EX-L V-6 4dr 3.5L 6cyl

Honda Accord 2014 EX-L V-6 Sedan 3.5L 6A
Came out one morning to go to work and found all four car windows and sunroof slightly opened. The w j nodes and sunroof opened by themselves. Unfortunately, there was a severe thunderstorm that night which rain entered the car. It's a 2014 honda accord. I googled the problem and found out that this has been happening going back 7 years that people windows and sunroof were opened without them doing so. It's been occurring in honda and acura models. They try to say that we must have done it by the remote; but i don't use the remote, i use the car handle to open the door and the black button to lock and secure the door. I believe this is a manufacturer issue and not a consumer issue. *tr

Honda Accord 2012 EX-L V-6 Sedan 3.5L 5A 27000 miles
The tempered glass sunroof exploded upwards, leaving shards of glass in a pattern like a crown. The temperature was 60 degrees, i was traveling at 65 mph on a lonely stretch of two-lane road with no other cars or people around me. The sound was like a tire blowout. The car is housed in a garage and has 27,000 miles on it. The honda service manager said something had to have hit it, but he is wrong. Nothing hit it.

I was driving on a highway and all of a sudden my sunroof exploded. I heard a loud noise. However, i didnt see any rocks or any object flying towards my car. It was very strange for the sunroof to just explode out of nowhere. I went to a honda dealer and they told me that it was impacted by an object. I did not see anything around that would have smashed into the sunroof.

I was driving down the highway on a tuesday morning around 6:45am and i heard a loud bang. Pulled back my sun visor for sunroof and saw that my sunroof was shattered. Closed visor just in case it wanted to break. Then all off a sudden i heard a loud crash and my visor started flapping. Road to work holding visor with one hand and driving with the other scared the visor was going to fly open. Got to work and looked at sun roof and it was a big hole in my sunroof. 75% of my sunroof was missing or gone.

While traveling southbound on rt. 95 in delaware, the sunroof spontaneously shattered on my three month old 2015 honda accord. The sound was similar to a loud gun shot, followed by a crackling noise. The driver and passengers in my car did not see or hear anything hit the car roof, and none of the surrounding vehicles took any action that would have suggested something had fallen out of the sky. The sunroof shade was closed, so no glass entered the cabin. Price honda in dover, de, replaced the sunroof glass under warranty.

I was driving my honda accord 2013 ex-l v6 on interstate 405 in washington state between bellevue and kirkland when i heard a large explosion over my head. Glass immediately fell on me and all over my car. I looked up and saw that my sunroof had broken into many pieces. The brunt of the glass fell on the passenger seat so i was lucky that no one was riding with me, but i still had a few cuts on my arm from the glass falling on me. Of course, in shock from the explosion, i swerved out of panic to the side of the road, which could have caused another accident if someone was on the right of me. H… Read complete

This is a nightmare. Honda accord 2014. Last night my windows and sunroof automatically opened; there have been other random electrical problems, see below.

The moonroof glass on my 2010 honda accord spontaneously exploded while i was driving down the freeway. Nothing hit it, there was no wind or unusual condition of any kind. One moment, normal driving, then a sound like a big firecracker exploding in the car, then i looked up and about one quarter of the glass was gone out of the center, the rest was shattered into a million pieces but still hanging in place. More glass has broken loose and fallen down and the hole grown bigger over the past day. Though most of the glass broke into safety glass-like chunks, there were some fine slivers in the passenger area that were sharp and difficult to clean up. *tr

I immediately put the shade back and drove home and immediately called my insurance company. I did not witness anything hitting my car, the only thing that i could determine is that i had my heater turned on high because it was so cold that day. My assumption is the extreme temperature differences and pressure that caused my sunroof to shatter. *tr
