I have been reading about a frame defect in new elements that causes
the windshilds to crack on the passenger side lower. I'm concerned
(just bought one) about the dealer responses that tend toward blaming
the customer, despite the Honda TSB on the issue and the growing
number of complaints to NHTSA.

Is this a typical Honda response to a quality defect?

Unfortunately, yes. Just ask all the people with 03/04 Accord who have a
rattling roof liner, or door, or center console. All are possible design
flaws and Honda doesn't have a fix for any of them.
