Rear windshield spontaneously burst, creating a hole on the driver-??s side area followed by complete splintering and combustion. Had anyone been in the backseat, they could have been injured by glass. Also, it burst while we were driving, startling us and causing panic will in motion. There was no indication of impending destruction. Police were contacted as we tried to determine the cause. There was no external reason (rock, crash, etc.) that caused the damage.

It was a cold evening. I was driving on the highway for roughly 15 minutes, with rear defroster on, when the rear windshield shattered spontaneously, with enough force to send pieces of glass into the back seat. There was a loud thud when it happened. There were no warnings by the vehicle. Police inspected the vehicle and said it was not caused by any external objects.

My car was parked at parking lot while I bought groceries after I went back into my car since I put the groceries on the passenger side of me I closed my door. Then I heard a loud noise of glass breaking and I turned around my rear window was shattered and nothing hit my window nor someone broke into it since as I mentioned it was fine before I went in and when I walked passed my rear window to get into my car then it randomly shattered. This is super concerning especially hearing this didnt just happen to me. Honda needs to do something asap because Honda is not living up to their standard as they say they do.

The first of October 2023, I was sitting in my car in a parking lot. I started my engine and I heard a loud boom, I looked up and around my car when I noticed the large hole in my rear window. I did not turn on my rear defroster. I went home and called my insurance company. The next day I went to the dealership where I purchased my HR-V. the service technician said "oh no not another one. I asked her what did she mean by that remark. She said that this particular model 2023 HR-V, their dealership has had a lot of customers come in for the same problem. My dealership scheduled for me to get the rear shatterered window replacement. I immediately called my insurance company to cancel the appointment. Why should I file a claim on my insurance when this incident wasn't my fault. The Honda Motor Corporation need to acknowledge that the rear window is faulty and a danger to all its customers.

Rear window failed/shattered when the driver side door was closed. Sounded like a loud bang, glass fell into rear hatch area and there was a hole in the window. Looking at the window it appears that the plastic seal around the window failed. If this happens at speed the result could be catastrophic. I-??ve contacted Honda and am waiting to hear from the dealership.
