UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The sunroof exploded while driving on the highway. I was traveling about 60-65 miles per hour. Luckily the slide was closed otherwise glass would have showered down upon the driver and passenger. I took the vehicle into the dealership. They inspected and sent the quote to my insurance claims adjuster so payment could be issued for the repairs. There was no warning signs or messages prior to it exploding.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Was driving on a residential street at 30 mph. Pavement was dry and clear of any road damage. No vehicle was in front of me, for at least three blocks. My car beeped repeatedly and a BRAKE warning flashed several times, followed by the vehicle automatically braking , hard enough to toss my 50 pound dogs around in the back seats, but not hard enough, long enough to stop the car. After that single application of the brakes, the audio and visual alarms stopped, the car released the brake, and I was able to drive on unimpeded. If this had occurred with another vehicle behind me, or the roads were icy, or if I were traveling at higher speeds, as on a highway, I feel the vehicle might have caused an accident.

While going over speed bump, left Rear trailing arm broke off. Large amount of rust was noted to frame. Our CRV had to be towed to our local Honda dealer. There is a current recall for this same issue on vehicle years 2007-2011 but none to cover our 2012 CRV.

SUSPENSION
The rear trailing arm became detached from the unibody due to rust/rot. This caused the rear tire to shoot sideways and backwards causing the vehicle to no longer be drivable. The vehicle has spent its life in Wisconsin, New York, and Vermont. As it happened on the road close to my house it was not assessed by any service center, but it is very obvious what happened. I pulled the vehicle back to my house myself. I can provide pictures as proof and I still have the vehicle in my possession (it has obviously been taken off the road). My problem is exactly what is described in the most recent Honda CRV recall NHTSA#23V228 or Honda #XDZ. Since my CRV is a 2004 it apparently does not qualify for the above recall... but it very obviously is the same thing and really should be covered by Honda. If they issue a recall on a certain year range but that same issue happens on a different year are we just supposed to sit back and say "oh well"? My family could have been very hurt if that component broke while the vehicle was on the highway. There has to be someone who can help with this. All that I've gotten from Honda is "your vin doesn't match the recall". I realize this... but the SAME EXACT ISSUE happened to my 2004 CRV. Now I have a vehicle that should be worth $4,000+ worth absolutely nothing unless I scrap it out... This is a known design flaw

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The emergency braking was turned off by me a few years ago due to this happening before. Today while I was driving about 35 mph, my car did a hard brake pushing everything including myself to the front giving me whiplash. Good thing nobody was behind me or else they would’ve ran into me for sure. There was nothing even in front of me to even cause this to even happen. I will be calling the dealership about this tomorrow. There was no warning lamps, messages or anything else to indicate this was about to happen or should be happening.
