While driving I put my rear defroster on and minutes later there was a loud pop noise and my entire rear window was shattered. I have an appt on Friday July 21, 2023 for the dealer to inspect it. Not having clear visibility while driving last night was a safety hazard. There was no warning at all.
On July 7, 2023, I was heading home from work during a downpour. Because of the rain and heat I had to turn on the defroster for both the front and rear windows. After about 10 minutes of driving, I suddenly heard a loud noise. Glancing in my rearview mirror, I was taken aback to discover a sizable hole in the passenger-side rear window. The forceful rain, accompanied by the windshield wipers' motion, caused the hole to expand further. I did pull over to see if maybe a tree limb had fall as I was driving. There was nothing in the truck.
Yesterday my rear windshield was shuttered spontaneously at 10:00 pm on the drive thru of burger restaurant. Cameras shows no vandalism or 3rd party was involved. The rear windshield shuttered with whole on the right up side suddenly after I had my defrost on to clear the rear windshield. Irresponsible Honda America agent over the phone hanged up on me and the dealership was laughing loud without any sympathy that me and my son were inside the car and we were terrifies
The rear window shattered after having the rear defrost on. I was driving down an empty street, so nothing could have hit it the window. Law enforcement even checked it out and we were all just as confused as to why it would just shatter.
The rear window of our 2023 Honda HRV exploded with no incident whatsoever. We had parked the car on Sunday, July 2, 2023 and taken walk on beach at 7:30 in the morning. When we left at 8:15 we heard a noise from the back as we drove off and looked in rear view mirror to see that the back glass was shattering. Continued to shatter as we made our way back home - 1-1/2 miles. This is a Sunday and will consult with dealership on Monday.

While driver 47 mph to work this morning my rear windshield suddenly popped and shattered. I was not under on over hangs or buildings. There were no others cars even around me at the time. I did have the rear defrost on. The whole windshield broke and fell apart.
Exploding trunk glass windshield June 2, 2023. I had the rear window windshield or glass (at the trunk or above the license plate) of my 2023 Honda HRV EX-L shattering and exploding yesterday while parked. There was no impact or an object hitting it. It just exploded. I strongly believe it-??s a manufacturing defect which needs a recall or warranty coverage. I believe an inferior glass was used. I had this car for a few months and less than a year. I called the collision center and they said they-??ve had many incidents like that with that model. I-??m really disappointed and considering many options right now. When I called Honda America, they were trying to bail out. But it-??s obvious that an inferior glass was used. Now, I don-??t know when the next glass is going to explode. And, I don-??t know when there-??ll be another defect. This needs a recall and must be covered by warranty or a buy back option. I lost my income for that day. I was lucky I didn-??t have anyone sitting at the backseat. There could-??ve been physical injuries. Driving the car puts some fear in me psychologically because I don-??t when another glass will explode. And the dealership is also trying to bail out when this was bought brand new. It-??s frustrating. I-??m gathering more information on how to proceed but I-??d appreciate your input.
Several times a gas smell has come through the vents of this car. It happens generally after running for at least 1hr and 30 min. The last time it occurred, we drove for 30 min, let it idle for around 30 min, and then drove another 30 min back home. The smell came through the vents around 10 min away from home on a back road with no one around. The smell lasted around 5 minutes. I took this to two Honda dealerships and they could not find a problem. There are several lawsuits against Honda for this exact thing, but in the CRV models. It is a hazard for there to be gas blowing through the vents. This indicates a possible leak, and it can cause harmful side effects due the fumes. There are more electrical issues occurring. I have caught on camera, but the Honda dealership will not even watch them. The windows will get stuck down and will not go back for around 3-5 minutes. When trying to roll them up they will continuously click like it is trying, but can not go up.
Vehicle was off and parked in a parking lot from 7:30AM-3:30PM on a partly sunny, calm, 50 degree day with the rear window facing southeast and parked a safe distance from the front bumper of the vehicle behind it. Upon return to the vehicle, the rear window had shattered into smithereens with a softball sized hole in the top left quadrant. After opening and closing the front passenger door, the entire rear window collapsed. There was no evidence of a strike from a person or a thing among the ruble.
The screen on the car would randomly turn on and off when the vehicle is on and it will do this the whole time. On Dec 2022 Another issue I had was the door wouldn-??t unlock on the driver side. I had to get someone to open my door. The door was unlocked but physically wouldn-??t open.
