Drove the car this morning at 540am. Came back to my house and went out to leave a few hours later. Got into the car and the back windshield just imploded and shattered into pieces and left a huge hold in the left side. Contacted the dealership, they stated that they have had other people with the same issue but no actual recall on this so I would need to fix it.
Saturday August 5, 2023 my car was parked in public business lot from 12:40pm to 4:30pm. When I got to my car I noticed the whole back windshield was shattered. I called the dealership they ran my VIN# no recalls listed. Not sure if my car was vandalized or not. I looked online and there were pictures and reports of this happening to other people with the same car, make, model within the last 60 days of my incident.
I was driving in the highway when out of nowhere the rear windshield just completely shatters. It was a rainy day and the rear window was foggy so I used the defroster and while it worked not sure what caused this issue
I-??m driving at First Colonial Rd almost 3 mins. to work when suddenly I-??ve heard an strange loud explosion at the rear or back windshield and nobody hit me without a any hole but it-??s a cracked that looks like a frosted window during winter. I was shocked to see how it shattered into pieces when I stopped and parked. This is only 1 year Honda HRV 2023 the reason I bought is for safety purposes on the road but it looks like there-??s manufacturer defects because I wasn-??t hit by any car when it exploded. How can we guarantee our safety if even a new model car is not safe to use and Honda dealership is giving us a hard time with this kind of incident? I bring my car in Honda Hall they only put a temporary plastic cover. Í called Honda Battlefield and told me to they will only put a temporary plastic same in Honda Hall which there-??s no safety if it will accidentally removed will cause more trouble on the road due crumble glass or shattered glass. I noticed Honda Battlefield staff and the manager I spoke with last night offer me a trade in for my vehicle instead of hearing about what happened. They treated us with a very warming attitude upon closing the sales but after sales their avoiding us and not giving us the good service. If my grandchild child is with me that time when it exploded seated at the back it will cause more pain on our end. I hope to be heard with this complaint that Honda Battlefield need to be responsible and take ?n charge for this incident of manufacturers defect or recall for their customers safety. The price of this honda hrv is not a joke and it-??s frustrating that nobody wants to accommodate and give me the same quality customer service like when I buy my car. I hope this incident will be given ân appropriate action since the dealership is giving me a hard time with this issue.

I was driving in the highway when the rear windshield pop out of nowhere completly shattered, there were no cars near by. Cant recall if the defroster was on but the weather was around 70 degrees.
While sitting at a stoplight, with no cars near me, I heard a shatter sound. My rear window glass has shattered for an unknown reason. I verified nothing had hit it. It was lightly raining, and I previously had the rear window defogger on.
I was driving home from work, heard a loud boom and then noticed my rear windshield had shattered and there was a big hole. This startled me and almost caused me a panic attack which could have led into an accident. This had happened while the rear defrosters were in use during light rain and 75 degrees weather at about 9:40 pm. I immediately inspected the damages and for a possible cause but did not find anything unusual. The damages can be described as a hole approximately 10in x 10in and the edges falling off. Black trash bag is currently covering the window until I can figure out what to do.
While in park at a drive thru we heard a loud bang. The rear windshield shattered. No foreign objects could be located and people around the vehicle did not witness anything hitting the car. Contents of the car were searched and no reason for the window to shatter was found.
Rear window on the trunk randomly shattered and cracked. My husband was driving home from work and heard a loud POP and the glass cracked. The smallest movements of the car is making it crack more. Can-??t get in touch with Honda because it is a Sunday. A headache!
I was driving my new HRV-EX-L 2023 model and due to some rain and heavy humidity my back windshield got foggy. I turned on the back windshield defogger and after about 10 minutes I heard a thug noise from the back. We turned around and the windshield was shattered. I am not so sure if that defogger device caused the shattering, but I am sure there is something faulty with the whole system. We inspected the whole vehicle and ascertained that nothing did hit or collided with our car. When we got home and we closed the front door the vibration made the whole back windshield collapsed in thousand of pieces. It could have been worse had it fall while driving on the road and considered that other cars were following behind and next to my vehicle. We contacted 2 large Southern Florida dealers that seem to be totally unaware of this issue and utterly not co-operative for either inspection or manufacturer fault. We are so disappointed with Honda and their service and level of responsability in view of the many cases that are arousing around this issue.
The car was parked outside. Next thing I know I hear an explosion. I go out to see what it was and I found my rear window shattered. The window has been inspected and they won-??t cover it saying there has been no recall issued so nothing they can do.
The back windshield spontaneously exploded while driving on the highway. There was no accident or damage leading up to the explosion and the car is under a year old. Glass was found in second row seating as well as the trunk. If there was a passenger in the back seat, they would have been impaled with glass resulting in injury. I immediately contacted the dealership and was instructed to call my insurance. They did not give me the option to bring the vehicle in for service. My insurance company sent me to a glass repair shop to have manufacturer glass reinstalled but I am still waiting for the glass to be delivered to the shop as it is a week out upon ordering. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms of problems prior to the explosion of the glass.
I was driving and my back windshield exploded shattered evenly along the rubber seal, also my steering is pulling me back into my lane, also wheel and break problems, car shut off while my dog was in it also at night I get bright head beam flicks
The rear window of my 2023 Honda HRV blew out and hit me in the arm as I was walking around the rear of the vehicle. I was parked in an open parking lot with nothing around to strike the glass in any way. Both seals on either side of the window blew out as well. I immediately took it to my local Honda dealer and they informed me I was the 2nd HRV who had come in for a blown out rear window in just one week! It-??s a very new vehicle and no such recall exists yet but this is definitely a safety hazard!
