Rear windshield exploded randomly while driving. Nothing hit the windshield, no sign of impact, completely shattered. The noise it made was loud and distracted me while driving while also impaired part of my vision which is necessary for safety driving. It's an inconvenience where I have no responsibility in the cause and has now affected my commute to work, I will have to wait until a shop is able to fix this and can't drive anywhere since it's illegal to not have a windshield in CA.

I was pulling into my parking spot after a 25 minutes long drive with the back windshield defroster on due to fogging. The back windshield popped and then completely shattered. The pop was startling and the shattering completely prevents the driver from seeing out of the back window l. There are several reports of the problem occurring to other drivers online. The car will be inspected by the dealer soon.

The back window in my HRV popped and shattered on September 14, 2023. I was driving down the highway when it happened. It took until October 13, 2023 to get it replaced. I drove home from work and parked my car. October 14, 2023, I went out to my car and it had popped and shattered. It started in the same spot each time. The dealer is telling me there-??s nothing they can do about it. Which leaves me without a car to drive. The first time this happened, I knew nothing about the windows in the HRV-??s shattering, so I had it fixed through my insurance company.

Back window of car shattered while driving. No impact from foreign objects. There was no warning- glass will be replaced by safelite in which they explained they had 6 cars with the same issue. As I googled the situation, it seems as if this has been an ongoing problem with Honda and some of the Acura models.

I drove the vehicle in the rain with the front and rear wipers on and the rear defrost on. After pulling into a parking space and turning off the car, I unloaded items from the car and closed all of the doors. Upon returning to the parking lot, others in the lot informed me that there had been a cracking sound and glass in the upper left-hand corner of the rear windshield had fallen into the trunk. They confirmed that there had not been an impact which caused the crack and there was nothing in the trunk to suggest an impact. While attempting to cover the rear windshield in the rain, more of the glass fell into the trunk. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer for evaluation. Had this occurred while the vehicle was operating, it could have posed a safety risk for individuals in the back seat and a distraction risk for the driver.

Within 10 minutes of turning on the rear defroster, the rear window shattered. Glass fell into the car, but no object was found inside the car. It was about 60F outside, and the sun had set ~5 hours prior. This specific vehicle has not been inspected for this issue prior to the incident, and the dealership was unable/unwilling to look at the rear defroster without first replacing the rear window. We still have the rear window, which could be made available upon request.

My 2023 Honda HRV rear winshield imploded all by itself. I reached out immediately to my Honda dealership and they said there is no recall and they have not heard of any issue from other owners. There was nothing they could do for me. I filed a police report and took a lot of pictures. Please advise.

I was driving within the speed limit on a street and noticed lack of visibility in my rear window so I turned on the defroster. Within a matter of minutes I heard a loud shatter sound and looked back and saw my rear window shattered. I thought someone threw something at it at first, but after pulling over to the side I noticed the rear window just randomly shattered. At first it was a big hole, and then the rear window just kept falling down by fragments. I have turned on that rear defroster many times and nothing like this ever happened. There were no cracks in the rear window either because I inspect the car every time before I get into it. The window fragments were scattered over my trunk and it looked as it the window popped off my car, signaling a defect. The vehicle is available for inspection. My family member was in the back seat and I instantly was terrified they were injured by the glass. This random shattering of the window is seen by many people with the 2023 Honda HR-V, not just me. The vehicle should be inspected by the dealership, but they are claiming it might have been a rock that cracked it, which I do not believe as I am very careful when I drive and inspect the car. No warning signs were present when this happened, so it was very frightening for all of us in the car when our rear window randomly shattered with a loud noise.
