VISIBILITY/WIPER
The back window blew out. I had the rear defrost on while I was driving home. When I got home, I backed into the driveway up to the garage. I went in to change, and we left a few minutes later. When we got into the car and closed the doors, we heard a loud sound from the back. We looked back and the window was shattered. There was nothing around that could have hit the window. No sign of anything that could have flown into the window, especially since it was backed up to the closed garage door. It seems to be some sort of factory defect in the window itself. I'm grateful we were parked and not driving down the road when it happened.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
While driving to school, sitting in traffic, I head a loud noise, looked in my rear view mirror and saw my entire rear window was shattered. Nothing was thrown through the window, there was no collision. The vehicle was taken to a local Honda dealership for a full diagnosis of the problem. Because the glass is tempered, and no one was in the back seat - there wasn’t an immediate safety issue to persons within the car. However, it isn’t safe to drive the vehicle with no rear window. I filed a claim with Honda America as I’ve read on a forum others have experienced the same issue. The window is on back order through Honda and not covered under warranty. We’ve owned the vehicle for approximately 1 year and it has 6200 miles.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
My wife parked at a local restaurant this morning, and prior to entering the lot, she reported no issues. My wife advised that upon exiting the vehicle, her back window began shattering from the bottom left corner which continued upwards toward the roof of the car. Nobody was around to strike it, nor has the vehicle been involved in any accidents to cause an integrity failure.

While car was parked unattended, rear hatch window shattered. Just parked car after using rear defroster, came out an hour later and it was all splintered. It appeared the glass was bubbled out from the inside on the drivers side middle but yet still intact. Nothing in the trunk, checked all the cameras and nobody was near it. I cleaned up the mess before driving it to the dealer and the dealership intake guy said "I've seen this before". It is now at the dealer waiting to hear what is going to be done.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I had my car parked at my place of work and the rear windsheld exploded and shattered by itself. The car was not vandalized, touched by an object/being, or had an attempt break in. This all happened after use of the rear windshield defrost component. Luckily I was not driving or in the car when this happened. I brought the car to my nearest dealership and informed them on what happened. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership and also, the police. All confirmed that it was not done by an object/being. There were no warnings or messages that were brought to my attention about this happening or could happen. Now it has to get replaced!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
On September 6, 2023, the back windshield of my 2023 Honda HRV shattered while I was driving putting my safety at risk for the loud sound of the glass while concentrating on the road. Called the Honda dealership and explained the incident. The service manager was familiar with this happening on other vehicles and confirmed it would be covered by Honda to replace and correct without any cost to me. I dropped the vehicle off that day and they emailed the Honda warranty group by email and got it approved. The service rep took photos of the back windshield and all the shattered glass to submit. The rep stated that the seals around the back windshield is defective and needs to be ordered and replaced. The seal is on back order with an estimated arrival date of September 23, 2023 to the dealership. Once parts are in, then the dealership will have to arrange an appointment with Safelight to install the new windshield.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I turned the corner into a parking space at a local business. When I was turning into the parking space, my foot was hovering over the left floor peddle (the break). All of a sudden, the vehicle lunged forward while my foot was still hovering over the break. During the incident, my foot did not touch the gas pedal when the car was accelerating towards the store window. I quickly firmly stepped on the brake when the car began to accelerate. The car went over the concrete parking stop, onto the sidewalk, crashing into the windows of the establishment. I nor any of the other patrons of the establishment were injured. Also to be noted, neither the forward collision, parking collision or automatic emergency breaking took effect. Police arrived on scene. A report was made. After the incident, the vehicle was towed away to a local Honda dealer in order for the vehicle to be assessed.

2023 Honda HRV, rear window shattered over night completely ruining the window, reports online of owners having the same problem. Only thing I can think of is I had defrosted the windows the night of the incident on my way home, came out in the morning to see the rear window completely shattered with no evidence of a person or object causing damage. Repairs estimated at roughly $800. Called and reported the incident to multiple Honda dealerships in Massachusetts.
