Rear glass window shattered out of nowhere. Thankfully the car was parked when it happened. It-??s bound to happen on these cars and when reported to Acura they did nothing. My car was parked in front of my house all night with a camera recording it and there was nothing else that could-??ve happened to it. Also, when inspected, you can tell the glass was not impacted in anyway. It shattered from the inside out. There was no warning lights or anything prior to the incident. On a side note, I believe this problem is covered under warranty in Canada but not in the US, which means Acura knows about the problem but isn-??t doing anything about it here.
2019 Acura RDX Advance - Upon entering driver side and closing driver door, rear hatch glass shattered. Vehicle was stationary in my closed garage in Upstate NY after being parked overnight and was then remote started to warm up. Approx. overnight temps were in the teens. There was no evidence of any prior damage to the glass. Damage to the window is more in the lower center above the rear wiper mount.
The rear (trunk) window of my 2019 Acura SUV shattered upon entrance into the vehicle after I closed my driver side door. The vehicle was parked at my place of employment and when I approached the vehicle, the vehicle looked fine, and window was intact. In addition, there prior to the incident, there is no visible crack on the window or indication of attempted theft. There were no lights warning issues. The vehicle has always been serviced by the dealership and never was I informed of any issues with the rear window. This is a safety issue as the window could have shattered while I was driving the vehicle and the sudden shattered cause have harm passengers in the back seat. I was fortunate that I was not driving which may have caused an accident not knowing what could have occurred on the road especially on a freeway.
I happened to be driving and out the nowhere my rear back trunk window shattered, mind that this is the second time this happens one last year my truck was sitting in the garage and I close my door and just hear a loud bang and my back glass shattered.

Car went into -??limp mode-?? in a raining day while accelerating - suddenly loses power while check engine light blinks. Nearly hit by following cars on the highway trying to pass other cars. Luckily was able to pull over to the emergency lane. Turned off the engine and turned it back on, the problem went away. A service bulletin related to this well known issue already exists - 20-053. Please act before any serious accident or death happens.
Our panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded while driving down the road. The explosion caused us to swerve the car and could have potentially caused a crash. If the sunroof shield had been open, glass would have fallen all over the driver and passengers in the car. We immediatly drove to the dealer and were told that something probably hit the sunroof and caused the damage. After advising them nothing hit the roof they said we would have to cover the repair costs. We have filled a claim with Acura and are going through our insurance for a repair. There was no warning prior to the explosion. There was no sign of a point of impact and no damage to anything besides the glass.

Was driving my car home and there was a loud explosion. There were no other cars around me and I couldn-??t figure out what happened. I was suddenly aware of the noise of air outside and I could immediately hear stuff flying off my roof. I couldn-??t safely pull over for a mile. Found a hole in my front moonroof and it was completely shattered. Had my sunshade not been closed I would have been covered with glass. Reading online lots of other Acura RDX owners have had the same thing happen. This is so dangerous.
I was driving on the highway, clear skies, nothing overhead. Then I heard a loud explosion and slowed down thinking I had a blown tire...but I didn't feel the car to pull to any one side no have difficulty steering. Then I started to hear wind noise in the cabin. When I finally exited the highway I looked up and saw that my sunroof was cracked and had caved in. You can hear the crackling noise. When I touched it pieces literally crumbled and fell into the cloth cover below. I believe the sunroof is defective and may have exploded while I was driving. there is no evidence on the roof that it was hit be road debris (no other spots show any dings or signs of damage).
Vehicle was subject to a relay attack. Perpetrator walked right up to the vehicle and opened the door. My key fobs were far away from the vehicle in the basement. Acura claims there are no known cases of this vehicle hack. However, according to internet sources, Acura/Honda are subject to malicious hacking because their key fobs do not use a "rolling code" system. Other luxury brands have implemented security features which allows the key fob to "sleep" if not moved. See the video of the incident below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UiHjcdH-VD0uiHOGj7IbLen9ftJs2q3h/view I want Acura to review the issue and issue a security patch, if deemed appropriate. They are denying everything and maintaining their position that they are aware of "no known issues". Yet the police advised of a criminal ring with 100's of Honda/Acura vehicles stolen this way in NYC, for which the VINS are being scratched off and sold on Craigs list. Please advise if you can assist in this matter. This is a safety issue because when any malicious third party enters a vehicle without permission, they could do anything that would compromise the safety and drivability of the vehicle. Thank you
1. twice while driving, warning lights flash "approaching object" when there is nothing around the vehicle, speed about 20mph, empty, rural road, no bad weather, 8am in the morning. 2. when trying to start the vehicle, the entire car shuddered and would not turn over. Re-tried and the car started. Car was stationary in a garage. 3. while driving about 60 mph, hwy 29 North in danville, va, the entire car shuddered for 2-3 seconds losing power. The vehicle didn't shutoff and I was able to resume safe driving. No inclement weather at the time. 4. while at a stop light in Virginia, the vehicle lurched forward (accelerated on it's own) when I took my foot off the gas pedal and I had to slam on brakes. I was able to resume safe operation afterwards. No inclement weather. Normal busy traffic in northern va.

I was driving on the highway and my sunroof spontaneously exploded. Nothing hit it - the sound was like a balloon popping but much louder. Thankfully I had the sun visor closed or else there would have been glass everywhere inside the car. I have a gaping hole in the sunroof. I contacted Acura as I saw this same problem reported by other drivers of the same make and model however they are telling me I have to go through insurance.
Infotainment system does not work (goes bank, freezes or goes in and out), specifically carplay which connects and discontents (in and out) on a regular basis. I've been experiencing this problem since first purchasing the car in July 2018. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times now and filed a complaint with Acura, which blames apple and claims it's not their product's fault. I waited until I got a new iphone thinking that would solve the problem; now Acura says my phone is too new and still not compatible. This is a dangerous issue and distracting while driving. The problem occurs while the car is stationary and in motion.
