VISIBILITY/WIPER
The back rear view windshield, exploded while driving under 20 mph. Window was not hit by any object. There is a forum online where many others describe the same exact situation. Car was inspected by dealership but they are unaware of this problem occurring. Could have been extremely dangerous if someone was sitting in the back seat. There was no warning or signs it just shattered as if it exploded.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was in the drive thru of Burger King and the clerk was handing me my debit card when the rear windshield imploded. I filed a police report and the officer is going to pull the drive thru video to confirm that nothing was thrown or fell onto the windshield. I don't think anything fell or was thrown at the windshield...it just spontaneously imploded. It was sprinkling outside, and I had the rear defroster on. I think maybe the rear defroster got too hot and caused the window to implode. I ended up being late for work because of this.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The rear windshield completely shattered. Vehicle was parked in parking lot with others coming and going in soccer complex for no more than an hour. No item or fragment could’ve hit it. Sat in car about to leave parking lot and heard a bang from back turned around to see glass shattered. But no one or no item near it. It was a 65 degree and rainy day. The glass on right side seemed warped. Honda mentions there is no recalls for the car. However there are various complaints online of people with similar experience occurring with 2023 HRV. Seems glass could be faulty.

Rear window shattered while my vehicle was parked at work between 5am and 2pm. It was lightly raining throughout the day, temperature was low to mid 60's. I used defrost at about 4:45 am prior to driving to work. Don't recall if I used defrost when leaving work at 2pm, but as I pulled from my parking spot I heard a noise that seemed like something was falling into the back of my truck, when I stopped to look I saw a big hole in my rear window.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Rear view window spontaneously shattered while driving on the highway. Sending window shards into the inside of the vehicle. Vehicle was NOT in a collision, and no foreign objects were found in the vehicle and no exterior damage showed outside the vehicle to suggest damage caused by an object. CHP responded to the scene and stated this was odd because there was no impact points or foreign objects in the car that would cause such damage. I took the vehicle to a Honda service center after noticing other people online had similar issues, and that Honda was replacing some windows for some of those people. But I did not have luck with getting them to replace the window. So I had to lay out of pocket for the repair today.

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
