While parked, the rear windshield of the HR-V spontaneously shattered There was no safety risk to my wife, but others have reported the same issue while driving, see [XXX] We have not had the vehicle inspected yet, but will take it to the dealer on Monday (happened last night, and it's Saturday today). There were no issues prior to this happening, no severe weather, no prior impact on the window, etc -- it seems to be a known defect based on the research I have performed.

I own a HRV Sport 2023 and Friday December 1, 2023 I found my rear windshield shattered all of the sudden. I know by reading online that is a defect from manufacturing. The dealer where I bought my car does not want any responsability and they told me I have to pay it. This is a manufacturing defect. Is not fair I'm still paying for this car and have to be liable for something the manufacturing has done wrong.

Honda roadside came and towed it to a dealership close to our house. It was approved by the -??claim adjuster-?? and repaired about 3 business days later. Very scary.

While I was driving the rear window suddenly shattered creating a loud thud. Chunks of shattering glass fell into the back section of the car. No foreign object hit the car. This was just a spontaneous event. We often transport our grand children and it is possible that they could have been seriously injured if they would have been in the car at the time. The car is unsafe to drive at this time due to shards of glass still loose. I plan to contact the local Honda dealership and will request a representative to come inspect the damage. Our HRV is still under warranty.
