It is about 50 degrees clear, with no rain. I drive onto the highway and hear what sounds like a gunshot. The Rear window explodes, and then glass flies all over the car; I roll down my window, and then glass goes everywhere, and all my stuff in the car flies around. I pull over and assess; this is the same thing that happened to me last year. The window randomly exploded. I called my insurance company, and they replaced it, but now the glass is stuck in the door. I called three 3 Acuras, and they all mentioned they hadn't heard of the issue until I mentioned the bulletin; now they say they have heard of it before but don't know if there is a way to help. Primary safety concern and a bit of a coverup by Acura

The rear window shattered without any reason. The car had been driven with the rear defroster on. Shortly after parking the vehicle, turning it off, getting out of the vehicle, the back window exploded. There were no warning lights related to this issue. The problem has been reported a number of times and there is a class action lawsuit filed: https://mycarvoice.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Acura-RDX-Rear-Glass-Lawsuit.pdf

This morning I awoke to another shattered rear windshield. I had the exact same thing happen in January of this year. This is my second out of cost rear windshield replacement due to the known problem Acura has failed to address. I have spent over 1,000 dollars on replacement glass in addition to my car being in the shop for 3 months waiting for a fuel pump. This is ridiculous, and something needs to be done.

While we were driving we heard what sounded like a shot, when we pulled over we noticed the rear window was shattered, and noticed nothing had gone through or hit it After inspecting it. My daughter was scared to stay in the car so we had to call someone to pick them up and give them a ride. The dealership told me my vehicle is no longer under warranty only drivetrain warranty and that it was not their problem to call my insurance is what I got told. Hundreds of others have had the same issue after doing some research online. There was no warning or cracking of any kind before this. Incident happened on 11/17/24 at 7:45pm

Spontaneous Shattering of 2019 Acura Back Windshield On June 3, 2023, while our 2019 RDX was parked with the back hatch open as we were packing to return home from a weekend away, we heard a loud noise. To our shock, we discovered the rear windshield had shattered, scattering thick black glass both inside and outside the vehicle. Fortunately, no one was near the car at the time, including our toddler and infant grandchildren, whom we transport in this vehicle twice a week. A quick search revealed that there have been reported defects and incidents of shattering windshields in 2019-2023 Acura RDX models. We were dismayed to learn that Honda has been aware of this issue since 2020 and has only notified its dealers in 2023. We understand that American Honda is currently facing legal action for not addressing this defect adequately. We were shocked and concerned that we had not been made aware of this issue, given the safety risks involved. We immediately contacted the dealership from which we purchased the car, seeking guidance on how to safely get the vehicle to them for repair. We assumed that Honda would take responsibility for this known defect. However, we were informed by two managers, that Honda is not taking responsibility for this issue. The thick black glass exploded with a loud and startling sound. The broken glass surrounded inside and outside of the car and continued to fall as we researched what to do. The danger was to my husband packing the car, to my toddler and infant grandchildren had this occurred any Tuesday or Thursday we transportation in this car, to us had it happened while driving as the sound was like a gunshot or crash, and other drivers had we reacted.

The rear window keeps imploding. This has happen 2x to my 2019 Acura RDX within the last 3 months and is a COMMON issue that Acura has not owned up to and will not rectify.

My 2019 Acura RDX was parked at Sam's Club for less than hour. After I put items in the car I closed the driver's side door and the rear windshield shattered.

Rear lift gate window shattered spontaneously with no warning signs. Have photos. Glass breakage to be repaired. If shatter occurs during vehicle operation, the driver can be startled causing an accident. Also, shatter simulates gun shot sound, which can also startle driver into an accident. Recurring issue on this model based on Google search comments. Post-repair claims state that residual glass remains in the lift gate panel, which can only be removed by manufacturer-??s service department for a fee. As the window is the same part number, issue will repeat perpetually.
