What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Upon acceleration from a traffic stop, the sunroof shattered causing shards of glass to fall into the vehicle. The sunroof was completely closed at the time. This was not a gentle "break and crack", but a violent shatter of glass. One 8 year old passenger seated in the rear middle seat sustained a cut removing glass from his seat.
On sunday, november 28, 2010, upon opening the trunk, the rear cargo area cover dropped down and hit my forehead leaving a large bruised lump. It was completely unhooked with nothing holding it in place. Today, is november 30, 2010 and I still have pain and headaches. There is no locking mechanism for the rear cargo area cover. It appears that the side hooks became unhooked (pressure fit only) and the "mounting pins" are as the honda fletcher service manager said, only for guidance and alignment.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda crosstour. The contact stated that the oil indicator displayed that the oil level was at 15%. The following day, after exiting the driveway and stopping at a stop sign, the contact noticed smoke under the hood of the vehicle. The smoke was light in color and then turned dark black. The contact pulled the vehicle over and removed herself and her grandchild from the vehicle. The contact noticed a leak under the front end of the vehicle. Shortly after, flames appeared under the hood.
My 2010 honda crosstour suddenly went from 60 to 15 MPH driving on a busy highway. The engine light and vsc light came on, and it just lost power. I narrowly escaped a serious accident with several cars. The other drivers had to avoid hitting me as I slowed down quickly without warning. The dealership says the computer shows a malfunction, but now it is fine. They can find nothing wrong with the car that would cause this to happen.
Started experiencing a vibration a week ago 05/02/2017 when initially pulling off from a stopped position. The vibration lasts from 20 to 50 mpg and can be violent if accelerating while trying to get started with the regular flow of traffic in a metropolitan city. I have read other reports as well on other sites such as: [link removed] the problem is going to get worse if not to a point of being unsafe.
