Back windshield shattered while parked.

- Manalapan, NJ, USA

While driving last night, I heard a loud bang and then what sounded like ice melting. Nothing hit the car just the loud sound. I noticed I couldn't see out the back window so when I got out, I ran to the back of the car. The entire back window had shattered. I hit absolutely nothing, no rock or debris hit it, nothing at all. I had the rear and front defrost on for about 5 minutes before turning off the rear and keeping just the front on. It was nighttime, drizzling, and about 67 degrees. I called the dealership that I leased it from first thing this morning and the two people I spoke to were flabbergasted. I let them know to Google as it appears to have been happening and continue to happen to this exact year and make of this car. I'm waiting to hear back on how to move forward but no repairs or anything have been done. I filed an insurance claim and am also waiting to hear back for that.

I was driving into my driveway and parked and before I exited the car the rear tailgate window exploded. It was so loud that my neighbor ran out of his house because he heard the noise. Several others have reported this happening to them on the internet. There should be a recall.

My vehicle was parked when the rear windshield shattered. Nothing came into contact. Dealerships are refusing to help out and they are aware of the issue. Please help us get this covered under a recall.

The back windshield of my 2023 Honda HRV popped and shattered out of nowhere.

I was sitting at a red light and my rear windshield exploded out of nowhere, nothing hitting it. I now see there are over 50 complaints of the same thing happening to HRVs. We've had the car less than a year. This is so, so dangerous, specifically because kids sit in the back seat. I really hope Honda does an investigation / recall. This is so scary and dangerous. Imagine if the front windshield shattered instead on someone driving... My dealer won't cover the cost, even though we are in warranty, and denies it is a problem with the glass when it clearly is. I am talking to the national Honda people now.

07/24/2023 @ 5:35AM, I arrived at work and parked my car in front of the building. A co-worker came to my desk at 11:45am and asked me what happened to my car. The rear windshield had shattered and there was a hole in the left side of the window. I called Walnut Creek Honda and was informed that they would have to order the glass and could not confirm the ETA for that to arrive. It would not be covered via warranty or under the additional roadside advantage policy that I purchased. They said they would call me back with the ETA - they did not return my call. In the meantime I called my insurance company and they referred me to All State Glass for an onsite repair. They confirmed on 07/25/2023 the Honda glass had arrived and repaired the window. When the technician was installing the new glass he was shocked by the rear window defroster wire and advised that he could leave it disconnected until I could have the car inspected by the dealer. I took the car to Walnut Creek Honda on 8/8/2023 and charged for the diagnostics that indicated there was not a malfunction of that part. There is some discussion on the Web that multiple have had this problem with their 2023 Honda HRV's but Honda does not have a recall for this problem. I called them on 7/28/2023 and opened a case (#14400775). There is a concern that this can happen to my vehicle again and it does not make me feel very safe.

I was parked in my car while talking to my friend and suddenly a loud smashing noise came from behind me. Then I heard a crackling sound and got out to look and my rear windshield had shattered. There was nothing around that made contact or caused it. The rear defrosters were on at the time of the incident.

I was driving my vehicle onto a off highway ramp with a speed of approximately 30 - 35 miles per hour, when we heard a loud pop sound. I immediately looked in the rear view mirror and there was an ~ 18" hole in the window. I pulled into a safe zone and looked at the rear hatchback window and it was shattered with the large hole. No reason, was not using wipers or defroster. Temperature was in the mid 70's. Luckily we were both in the front seats and no glass reached us.

My rear glass shattered today unexpectedly with only 4,400 miles. Obviously others have same issue and defective glass or window frame. I-??m getting fixed and Maroone Honda where I bought blew me off. Not happy. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
