I’m posting this on here because maybe someone knows what else I can do/ I want to let as many people possible know what a horrible company Honda is. I was driving down the street with no other cars, nothing that I could hit, no mail boxes, no trees, at like 20 mph and my sideview mirror exploded. …

If you have the information from the second dealer in writing, you could try filing a claim in small claims court. I don’t know if it would help, but maybe.

I have the email where they sent pictures to corporate with my car in perfect condition…Would a small claims court be more expensive? I called my insurance and Im fixing it through them since my deductible is 500. Im just shocked at how a car company like Honda would treat its costumers. I seriously…

You would have to call your local Clerk of the Courts and ask them about filing fees and who pays the court costs.

As much as I despise all things social media related, this is an opportunity for you to shame them on their social media pages. But I would recommend you re-write what you posted here and make sure everything’s spelled correctly and your story is more coherent. Also, don’t come out of the gates with…

It’s possible something actually did hit the mirror and you didn’t see it. Years ago I used to ride a motor-cross bike(dirt track motorcycle) During one ride at about 50 mph my plastic helmet exploded for no apparent reason, split in half, fell off my head and onto the road. I had no idea wh…

What exactly are you postulating was the cause of this “event”? An explosion? As in a pyrotechnic chemical reaction with fire and smoke? Mirrors do not just “explode” and as surely as they do not just explode, they also do not jump off the door mount and impact the side of the vehicle in this in…

Does your vehicle have auto dimming mirrors? Electrochromic (auto dimming) mirrors have been known to shatter or rupture without cause but it does not occur frequently enough for an average person to be familiar with the problem. Most Dealer staff members will naturally be suspicious of impact dama…

Honda_Blackbird: Physics says the mirror struck something Not necessarily true. Tempered glass is under strain in its default state. It’s trying to shatter apart, but can’t, unless there’s a flaw in the glass. A tiny chip, or a nick in the edge of the glass can cause it to shatter in the rig…

I have no argument regarding the propensity of tempered glass to want to shatter @shadowfax I am in agreement with you on that. But tempered or no, it does not explain why the side mirror physically departed its mount and then, in its entirety, it struck the window glass in the door (passenger side…

I saw that the body of the mirror (which I took to mean the housing for the mirror) was intact, but I did not see where OP indicated that the mirror itself was intact until it hit the window. I would guess the mirror shattered in its housing, and energy drove some or most of the fragments into the p…
