My car was parked in a parking lot this morning and I got into my car, shut my driver door, and my back rear window shattered - now I am stuck replacing this when it was of no fault of my own. I see there have been over 300 complaints about Honda HR-V owners' rear windows shattering. Can something please be done about this, or can this be refunded due to having to pay out of pocket for something that is defective on this make/model of Honda vehicle?

Rear window of the vehicle shattered for no reason. It was about 25 degrees outside and the rear defroster was on for the entire drive of about 1 and 1/2 hours. The window just popped and shattered. I called Honda dealership and take no blame for incident. They said there were no recalls for that. Seen on different forums on line that other people had this issue with the defroster getting too hot.

On [XXX] I was driving on the [XXX] to San Diego when I heard a loud boom and then my rear window on the drivers side had a hole in it. It was raining and I was using the rear window defroster. I immediately turned around and drove back home and took my car to the Honda dealership. When they opened the rear door and shut it a large portion of the glass fell out along with some plastic parts of the window panel. They said nothing could be done until after the Holiday. After the holiday they talked to Honda and Honda agreed to replace the window. The window part is on back order and was expected to be shipped on Jan 12; however, as of today it is still not shipped and listed as back ordered. They did not have a loaner car available for me so I was forced to rent a vehicle twice during this time until one became available on Jan 16. I told the Honda dealer that this has been happening and there is a class action lawsuit in Pennsylvania and they told me they were totally unaware of this problem existing in Honda vehicles. They were surprised when Honda agreed to pay for it. Honda needs to issue a recall and make sure that all the owners and dealerships are aware of this problem.

Was driving from one restaurant to another tea shop after dinner around 7:30 PM. After parking in the lot, we heard a minor crack sound but did not thought of something major. However, after getting the tea and trying to place it in the trunk, we realized that there was a hole on the rear windshield, with edges all broken up. Thought of it as an unsuccessful break-in, but there was other cars in the parking lot without this kind of shattering, which doesn-??t make sense that it was a intended intrusion. Honda definitely needs to recall this issue and have the rear window replaced!
