My rear window exploded while my car was parked in the target parking lot, I had them run cameras to see if it was someone who broke my back window but it showed no one near my car during the explosion-?? while researching online I noticed that there was a lot of complaint about a default in the rear defroster and that was what might have caused the explosion-??

The rear windshield spontaneously cracked/shattered while the car was parked. Had to drive home with a broken windshield and it continued to crack. No warnings or indications that this would happen.

- North Huntingdon, PA, USA

Rear window spontaneously shattered on 1/25/23 as the car was parked in a parking lot. Had the rear windshield replaced already. Safety was at risk due to it being able to happen at any point. Glass may fly inwards towards driver/passengers. Currently, there is a service bulletin printed on May 20, 2023 from Acura on Read windshields shattering. A police report has been made. No warning lamps at all.

After my shift at work. I got in my 2019 ACURA RDX and closed the door. Right when the door closed the rear tailgate glass shattered. Leaving a big hole in the glass on my drive home. While it kept breaking into thousands of smaller pieces while driving home. Mind you I live in Chicago and the temperature was 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Called my insurance company to file a claim. Had the rear glass replaced by Safelite after a week and half. But the tiny pieces that broke off fell inside the tailgate and now when I raise the tailgate/hit a bump/ turn the vehicle I hear the pieces of glass that fell inside the tailgate moving around. I was told there was no way to remove this.

When I got into my car and closed the front door the back windshield completely shattered. My car was parked and was not on yet. The glass from the back windshield had not been hit by anything external (there was nothing in the car that had come from the outside and there are cameras in the parking lot where I was which confirmed nothing had damaged it). If the back windshield's glass had shattered while I was driving the shock would have posed a severe safety concern for me and for others on the road. Additionally, if the back windshield glass had shattered as I was opening up the back door I could have gotten injured. The car was taken to have the back windshield glass replaced. When the car was serviced and ready to pick up I was informed that glass remains in the tailgate and can not be removed without the entire rear of the car being removed, cleaned and then replaced. Honda, Acura, the glass company and my insurance will all not fix this problem. Spontaneously shattering glass is a known problem with Honda Acuras and I have since learned there is a class action lawsuit about this problem. Honda Acura denies this claim. This car is a newly purchased vehicle.

The back glass shattered without anything hitting it or any visible cracks prior to incident. The lift gate was opened via the automatic function and then closed with the automatic function. The trunk was empty and nothing was touching the glass. While closing the glass shattered and spidered the entire back glass. The temperature was about 45 F. The problem appears to be consistent in the 2019 to 2023 models according to Acura forums.

I-??ve had this happen 4 times now with my 2019 RDX. The latest Is on 12/10/23. Low speed braking and the tac revels to over 5000. Vehicle lurches forward with both feet on the brake peddle nearly hit a car broadside that was moving perpendicular to me., Three times under warranty to the dealer who could find anything. They even had the factory rep, in who after keeping the car for 5 days replaced an abs sensor. Now that the warranty is up they want $120 an hour to diagnose the problem that they couldn-??t before.. But this is a dangerous vehicle that.I-??m scared to drive. After reviewing several forums this appears to be a know problem Acura won-??t address.

I have owned my RDX for four years and have 60,000 miles on the car. I was driving on a two lane road when a car was coming from the opposite side into my lane. I hit the horn and nothing. I repeatedly hit the horn and no sound came out. I was almost killed because I could not warn the other driver. I have probably used my horn a few dozen times since I have owned this car. This is a known problem and there is a service bulletin. My horn was replaced as it was defective. There was no warning. This could be a life and death issue and should be recalled by Acura.

My rear glass shattered and the broken glass went into the tailgate. Due to its design flaw, it's impossible to completely remove the shattered glass from the tailgate. This is a safety hazard as broken glass can fall out from the small holes on the tail gate. This is a known problem in our model, and the design flaw has been confirmed by an auto glass repair professional.

When I was approaching my vehicle from the rear, I noticed my back window had chunks of glass missing and it appeared cracked. As I got closer, I noticed the entire back window was shattered. Pieces of glass were on the ground, meaning this occurred here, at the store. I would have noticed this earlier when leaving work because I approach my vehicle from the rear and the window was fine. Even looking through the rear window while driving it was clear. I went back into the store I was at and asked the store management to review the cameras to see if a person did this. I contacted the police. Management of the store stated no one approached my vehicle. They did see -??a weird occurrence of the glass just shatter, no one was near the vehicle-??. The police showed up, reviewed video and said there was nothing they could do because no crime was committed. I contacted my insurance to have it repaired. I had to drive the vehicle home and then to Safelite to have it repaired, all while my rear view vision was obstructed by having shattered glass. The way the glass shattered, pieces could have struck a person walking by. If I were in the vehicle or had people in the backseat, they would have been struck with glass. Glass was scattered all throughout the back of the vehicle. I believe the tint I had on the window kept it from completely falling into the trunk. If this would have happened while being driven, it could have caused an accident. Safelite replaced the window, but was unable to remove the glass that had fallen into the tailgate. I now hear glass moving around when I drive and also when I lift and lower my tailgate. This is going to depreciate the vehicle value and also prevent me from selling the vehicle. I have also noticed while doing research, many other owners of RDX are having the same issue, yet no Recall. Acura has not considered this to be a problem.

Rear window randomly shattered. Nothing hit the window and it simply shattered.

I was driving on the interstate at 75 miles per hour. The back window literally exploded. There was a very loud boom. Upon pulling over, I discovered that the window had shattered. Part of the glass fell down inside the car. We were not going under an overpass and did not hit anything that would have caused the glass to suddenly shatter. Acura has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) but not a recall. Since the car was out of warranty, the repair is not covered. The internet is full of posts about unexplained glass shattering on 2019 Acura's. This is a safety issue.
