VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My Honda HR-V was sitting in the parking lot when the back window just exploded by its own. There was no impact, no object hitting at all. Went to the dealer and they couldn’t do nothing. Call the Honda service and they told me to call the insurance. I bought this car less than a year I’m really disappointed with Honda assistance.

STEERING
My 2024 Honda HR-V has a jerky steering problem when I drive on the freeway is when it happens a lot specially when going in a curve. When my steering wheel gets stuck it causes my Honda to swerve and its dangerous because I don't want to hit a car next to me. I took it to the Honda dealer 3x and they keep telling me nothing is wrong.

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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
My rear windshield shattered while vehicle was sitting a parking lot. I have a camera system installed and footage showed the glass shattering with no impact from any outside source. I took the vehicle to my local dealer, and they ordered new rear glass, and are going to take care of the repair no charge. It’s been a couple of weeks, and I am waiting on glass to arrive. Honda should recall, as this has the potential to be a dangerous situation for anyone that may be sitting in the rear seat, particularly a young child, or infant.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I got in my car this morning and and noticed immediately the rear windshield look like there was ice / frozen over since there was condensation on my other windows. I started my car and turned on the defroster button for my front and rear windshield. 10 minutes into driving, I heard a pop sound and noticed a hole in the rear windshield wiper. I thought it was a bag of chips in my trunk so I continued to driving to my destination, not really thinking much about it. At this time both the defrosters were turned off. When I got to my destination I noticed the hole/ opening in the rear windshield got bigger and upon inspection, 35% of my window fell into my trunk and shattered.

On August 1 at approximately 6:30 am I was traveling on Dorchester Rd. in Summerville, SC when I suddenly heard a loud POP noise and saw the hole in my rear windshield and that it had shattered. There was one person traveling behind me and no one in front so there was no debris from either cars. When I pulled over I called the police and they quickly responded and were concerned as I was, thinking I had been shot at. Upon further investigating, we learned that this is a "known" 2023 Honda HRV problem, after researching NHTS website. I contacted a local dealership but could not get any response other than there was no recall for the vehicle. Fortunately I was able to work with my insurance company to get it replaced, but not until a week later! I did use my rear defrost before leaving as there was some condensation on my rear window. This was a very scary situation and could have caused me to wreck or had I had a passenger in the back, they could have been injured. Very disappointed to read the number of reported incidents but no action is being taken. Having worked at Honda R&D for 32 years this is just not the Honda response one would expect.

My rear windshield basically exploded, for lack of a better word, last night! It was very scary and confusing. I was alone on the road. There were no cars around me. The glass immediately started to shattered. You could hear the crackling and a hole formed on the left hand side (drivers side) first. The entire windshield panel was destroyed. The black trimming included, that goes right up against the car. I need you to understand how terrifying this was! My 8 year old was shaking and crying in the back seat especially with the sound of the crackling. Before the hole formed it sounded like it was under intense pressure and was going to pop. I was shaking because I thought maybe someone hit my car with something they threw or god forbid something worse. Understand, I was driving with my son and it was 12:30am, so I pulled over to look around and was nervous someone was there and was going to do something. It wasn’t until I got home and really looked at the windshield that it made sense that I wasn’t hit by anything. I then googled to see if this was a problem and sure enough it is! My brother in law met me at my home to help remove the glass and cover the opening. We had to remove it, it was slowly crumbling everywhere.

My rear windshield shattered out of nowhere. My son was in the backseat when it happened. I called the police and they are also confused on how my window shattered, it doesn’t show any puncture or impact of any kind just a shattered window. No warning lights came on before or after. I took my baby to the dealer and they also did not see what could have caused it to shatter. Believe it may be an manufacturing defect.
