Visibility/Wiper
The visor on the driver side suddenly popped and now it keeps falling, impairing visibility. This appears to be an issue with other honda's and if that's the case, you need to investigate this and put a recall on it because not only is it annoying, but it is a hazard that most definitely impairs driving. Please look into this!!!

The driver side sun visor falls down blocking the view and distracting the driver. This is obviously a wide spread problem as there are a number of videos on you tube claiming to show how to repair it. Honda should have to replace these visors when they malfunction. Nhtsa is derelict if it does not address this problem! This problem happens without warning or any action on the part of the driver.

Over time, driver's and passenger's sun visors no longer fold up flush with ceiling. They instead sag; partially blocking driver's view. This is due to a faulty hinge system that, with repeated use, becomes detached from the visor.

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…

I went to pull my visor down and i heard a loud crack noise from the visor. The visor will not stay up anymore, just hangs about 2-3" from the ceiling of the car. Went to the dealer and they told me it's not covered under warranty even if it's only a year old. *tr

Hi. I just noticed during heavy rain , my windshield wipers pulling the water back on the windshield at 55mpg or above causing visibility issues. This is a brand new car and brand new wipers, so i think there is something going on. This is a big issue since my visibility during heavy/moderate rain is impacted. Thanks *tr

When it rains moderate to heavy the windshield wiper design causes the water to be pulled back on the windshield causing poor visibility. This is a safety hazard. And should be addressed. Visibility is reduced greatly and is poor at best. *tr

In an event of heavy downpour i noticed when using my honda stock wiper blades rainwater is pushed into the view of the driver, and for a moment collects in my view. When the storm was occurring i had the wipers on full speed so my view was obstructed many times to where i had to try and ignore the puddle of water in the left of the windshield. I have since purchased new wipers out of my own pocket, but that did not…

There seems to be some sort of design flaw in the windshield. In moderate to heavy rain the drivers side wiper pulls water back onto the center of the windshield on the return swipe. I find it to be extremely hazardous as i have to crouch down and look through the bottom third of my windshield. *tr

Issue concerns the drivers side, side view mirror which consists of a regular mirror on 3/4 of the surface which is combined with a convex mirror covering the outside 1/4 of the mirror. As cars approach from the rear left and move into view of the mirror, it oftentimes (depending upon the angle of sight) seems as if the other vehicle is moving into my lane. My reaction is to move away which could pose a danger to…

The drivers side mirror is a danger. The outer 1/4 of the mirror is supposed to expose a blind spot, it does not. It is like looking in a fun house mirror distorting on coming vehicles. It is worse in the rain and at night with other vehicle headlights adding to the problem. I see accidents happening in the future. I called the honda dealer and asked to get a plain mirror put in. I was told they would order it and…

The driver wiper does not clear the water after hitting it's left stop. It actually pulls water back into view of the driver. During a moderate and heavier rain it affects visibility making it difficult to see the left side of the lane (essentially like not having a wiper on drawing the draw back to the right - it clears as the relative wind breaks up the water). (picture/video available during a light/drizzle…
