While driving I put my rear defroster on and minutes later there was a loud pop noise and my entire rear window was shattered. I have an appt on Friday July 21, 2023 for the dealer to inspect it. Not having clear visibility while driving last night was a safety hazard. There was no warning at all.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving my new HRV-EX-L 2023 model and due to some rain and heavy humidity my back windshield got foggy. I turned on the back windshield defogger and after about 10 minutes I heard a thug noise from the back. We turned around and the windshield was shattered. I am not so sure if that defogger device caused the shattering, but I am sure there is something faulty with the whole system. We inspected the whole vehicle and ascertained that nothing did hit or collided with our car. When we got home and we closed the front door the vibration made the whole back windshield collapsed in thousand of pieces. It could have been worse had it fall while driving on the road and considered that other cars were following behind and next to my vehicle. We contacted 2 large Southern Florida dealers that seem to be totally unaware of this issue and utterly not co-operative for either inspection or manufacturer fault. We are so disappointed with Honda and their service and level of responsability in view of the many cases that are arousing around this issue.

Six times on the interstate when we press on the gas it does nothing. The dealer told us it's in the software and was designed that way.

The car was parked outside. Next thing I know I hear an explosion. I go out to see what it was and I found my rear window shattered. The window has been inspected and they won’t cover it saying there has been no recall issued so nothing they can do.

On July 7, 2023, I was heading home from work during a downpour. Because of the rain and heat I had to turn on the defroster for both the front and rear windows. After about 10 minutes of driving, I suddenly heard a loud noise. Glancing in my rearview mirror, I was taken aback to discover a sizable hole in the passenger-side rear window. The forceful rain, accompanied by the windshield wipers' motion, caused the hole to expand further. I did pull over to see if maybe a tree limb had fall as I was driving. There was nothing in the truck.

Yesterday my rear windshield was shuttered spontaneously at 10:00 pm on the drive thru of burger restaurant. Cameras shows no vandalism or 3rd party was involved. The rear windshield shuttered with whole on the right up side suddenly after I had my defrost on to clear the rear windshield. Irresponsible Honda America agent over the phone hanged up on me and the dealership was laughing loud without any sympathy that me and my son were inside the car and we were terrifies

The rear window shattered after having the rear defrost on. I was driving down an empty street, so nothing could have hit it the window. Law enforcement even checked it out and we were all just as confused as to why it would just shatter.

The back windshield spontaneously exploded while driving on the highway. There was no accident or damage leading up to the explosion and the car is under a year old. Glass was found in second row seating as well as the trunk. If there was a passenger in the back seat, they would have been impaled with glass resulting in injury. I immediately contacted the dealership and was instructed to call my insurance. They did not give me the option to bring the vehicle in for service. My insurance company sent me to a glass repair shop to have manufacturer glass reinstalled but I am still waiting for the glass to be delivered to the shop as it is a week out upon ordering. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms of problems prior to the explosion of the glass.

The rear window of my 2023 Honda HRV blew out and hit me in the arm as I was walking around the rear of the vehicle. I was parked in an open parking lot with nothing around to strike the glass in any way. Both seals on either side of the window blew out as well. I immediately took it to my local Honda dealer and they informed me I was the 2nd HRV who had come in for a blown out rear window in just one week! It’s a very new vehicle and no such recall exists yet but this is definitely a safety hazard!
