VISIBILITY/WIPER
While our vehicle was parked inside our garage, the rear windshield completely shattered outward, without any impact or object hitting it. The vehicle was parked and off. It was like it exploded. It seems like the glass was manufactured poorly or of an inferior quality than what should be deemed safe for vehicles on the road. It was very scary and unsettling and could have been incredibly dangerous/life threatening if I had been driving with my young child anywhere. The glass would have likely impacted my child or gotten on a car behind me. Incredibly scary!

SEAT BELTS
The front passenger belt stop latching. I called the dealer. The part was on backorder. I have an appointment on Tuesday 1/23/24 to fix the front buckle. I also told them when riding in the car the middle back seat belt dings like someone is back there. There is no one in the car. Now the back middle seat has a green box saying that someone is latched in the buckle. Again, there is no one in the back seat. I cannot safely put my kids in this car. The only warning that the front buckle gave was the seat belt was not latched. It would not hook on so my oldest would have to sit in the back seat.

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 December 11, 2023, my wife and I drove 4 miles to a local restaurant with friends. We used the rear defroster as the outside air temperature was 50 degrees and humid. Upon leaving the restaurant 1.5 hours later, we discovered the whole back window was shattered. We reviewed the restaurant's security camera footage for the complete duration of our meal and it was very clear no one or anything went near the HRV. Honda is refusing to pay for repairs, so we had Safelite fix the back window. As of January 17th, 2024, Honda has not reimbursed us for the defective window even though the vehicle is still under original warranty.
