Woke up on 2/11/2023 and my whole rear window was shattered into a million pieces. No signs of anything thrown at or hitting it. Filed insurance claim to replace window but still have glass stuck in between frame and plastic because they can not remove plastics. They are welded to the body of vehicle. No warning signs or alerts. Luckily I was parked in my driveway and not driving when this occured. Had I been driving I probably would have caused an accident.

On January 16, 2023, at approximately 5:00 PM, I returned to my vehicle, a 2019 Acura RDX in a secured parking lot after work, got into the driver-??s seat, closed the door, turned on the vehicle, and my rear windshield spontaneously shattered without any signs whatsoever of external impact. The entire rear windshield shattered from end to end without explanation. Upon further researching this issue, it appears to be a common problem with several model years of the Acura RDX. I reported this incident to Acura, corporate customer relations, who declined to offer any assistance for the problem, despite there being a technical service bulletin issued for this problem for all 2019 Acura RDX VINs. I was fortunate that this did not occur while my vehicle was in motion, however, the problem poses a serious safety issue that Acura refuses to do anything about. I-??m not sure why they would issue a TSB yet decline to authorize a repair or replacement of the windshield. This is a common problem that is known to Acura and poses a safety issue to the motoring public.

On November 26, 2022 RDX rear glass shattered while parked. This was reported to ACURA to find out if this is a known defect. Acura replied that they don-??t have a recall on this problem. Coincidentally, few days after glass was replaced (insurance) the remote start failed due to -??open trunk, doors or hood-??. Acura dealer replace defective trunk switch. On a few other occasion the infotainment screen will go blank and then turned ON and stay ON while vehicle is off. Battery died several times while this happened. Last occasion was Jan 15, 2023. Again, Acura was called and didn-??t have a recall/repair solution. Battery was disconnected and screen resumed operation!

While I was reversing my car on my driveway, I heard the loud pop sound and back window was shattered. My car did not hit any thing. It just happened without any impact. I have been told that this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle and manufacturer has back order for the windows and no time frame when it can be replaced. This is very bad as I will not be able to drive the car until the back windows is replaced. There is a huge safety issue as it happens without any impact.

Rear lift gate window shattered while parked. Nothing came into contact with the vehicle or the glass before it shattered. Reached out to insurance company and was referred to Safelite. Safelite inspected the glass and crash wrapped the window. Other 2019-2021 RDX-??s are experiencing the same issue hence the glass to fix it, is backordered. If I had been driving the vehicle it would have been a safety hazard. There were no warning lights or indications that the window was going to shatter.

For some unknown reason while car was in garage the rear window blew out. I have been told that this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle and manufacturer has no replacement windows available and no time frame when it can be replaced. According to glass replacement company my insurance contacted to replace our window there are hundreds of blown out windows of same vehicle also waiting on replacement glass. I think Acura should put out recall on item. Thank God our vehicle was parked and being driven at the time of occurrence. Any and all help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. I also reached out to Acura and awaiting response since now I have to probably pay months of payments and have no car to drive.

Common problem with this generation RDX. My back glass shattered once I turned on the rear defroster. Now I have glass in my rear tailgate as well. This problem is being fixed under warranty in Canada but not in the US. Acura/ Honda are aware of this defect and still not doing anything to fix it.

When I looked out my review window, I noticed the hole in the back windshield. The car was not on. I just closed the door. The whole back hatch windshield was shattered.

Windshield chips and cracks easily from minor road debris. My 2019 Acura RDX Advanced with approximately 22,000 miles has needed to have the windshield replaced 3 times since purchasing (fourth windshield since buying). The latest replacement lasted less than a week before cracking again. These cracks hinder the structure of the windshield, can obscure view, or refract light; limiting driver visibility and affecting the safety system. Seemingly minor strikes from road debris cause stellate chips and cracks 3-4 inches long that cannot be repaired; requiring complete replacement of the windshield and realigning of camera/radar safety systems. The windshield was replaced by professional service (Acura referral) service center using Acura replacement glass. Based only on my personal experience with other cars, this seems a too common event that is likely the result of a manufacturing defect or design flaw. Speaking with the tech at the service center, he said this is a common problem for this vehicle but could not point to any official reports or references.

Windshield chips, scratches, cracks very easily. Once a chip occurs, windshield crack(s) expand significantly in just hours/days. This causes obvious driver interference of visibility. Have had to replace 4 windshields professionally in 40K miles at 18 months from purchase.

Since purchasing car, I've had: Squeaky brakes. Acura is aware but does not have fix. Lane departure issue. A lot of "false positives" which causes car to shake and slow down - very dangerous when another car is driving behind. Acura is aware but does not have fix. Issues with radio and apple care. Does not work intermittently. Acura has done software update to fix but still have problems. Squeaky wipers. Were replaced in September. Need another replacement.
