WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (~65-70MPH), THE MOLDING/SEAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD CAME LOOSE, AND BEFORE I COULD GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, IT BROKE FREE. WHILE IT WAS ATTACHED, IT WAS BANGING INTO THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND AGAINST THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW. IT WAS HITTING THE WINDOW WITH ENOUGH FORCE THAT I FEARED IT WOULD CRACK THE GLASS. ADDITIONALLY, THAT IT BROKE FREE AND FELL OFF CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME. IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO, IT SHOWS THE SPACE WHERE THE SEAL CAME LOOSE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE GLASS, AND THE FRAME AT THE TOP.

THE SRS LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD. HONDA DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TWICE AND DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CABLE REEL. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND HAS NEVER HAD AN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. HONDA EXPLAINED THAT THE CABLE REEL IS A "BAD PART", AND QUOTED REPAIR ESTIMATES AT 700 DOLLARS FOR PART AND SERVICE. HONDA WARNED THAT THERE IS A 50 PERCENT CHANCE THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. HONDA COMPANY REFUSES TO COVER THE COST AND SERVICE OF REPLACING THE CABLE REEL DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTY FOR AIRBAG PARTS (2-YEAR WARRANTY). AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT MANY HONDA AUTOMOBILES (ESPECIALLY HONDA CIVICS MANUFACTURED AROUND 2009) ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AND LIABILITY FOR THE COMPANY TO SELL CARS AND ADVERTISE THEIR PRODUCTS AS DURABLE, WHEN IN FACT SAFETY FEATURES BECOME FAULTY AFTER A FEW YEARS. IT IS CONCERNING THAT HONDA IS SELLING AND MARKETING PRODUCTS WITH COMPROMISED SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT BECOME DEFECTIVE AFTER A COUPLE YEARS OF USE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH HONDA, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA.
