VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I had gently shut my car door and the back windshield exploded. Glass went everywhere, and if someone was in my back seat or standing behind my car, they would’ve been cut. My car was not even on. Very very disappointing on Hondas part as I know 2 other people who have the same car and have had the same problem happen.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Rear windshield spontaneously burst, creating a hole on the driver’s side area followed by complete splintering and combustion. Had anyone been in the backseat, they could have been injured by glass. Also, it burst while we were driving, startling us and causing panic will in motion. There was no indication of impending destruction. Police were contacted as we tried to determine the cause. There was no external reason (rock, crash, etc.) that caused the damage.

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The parking brake engages on and off when the car is turned off. There are 3 lights flashing -check engine light -the word “park” - the parking brake light I have had the code read and it says it is the evap canister purge valve which has already been replaced, the light went off temporarily and it’s back on again. The transmission is noisy when accelerating. The purge valve keeps going bad for no apparent reason and the parking brake randomly engaging and disengaging when the car is turned off leads me to believe there is an issue overall with the build of the car. I am worried the emergency brake will engage when driving.

I was park and suddenly I heard a kind of exploding from the back of my car, I thought someone was trying to steal something but it was nobody and it was nothing than can cause the damage.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
In cold weather lcd display of dash display malfunction, no odometer reading, fuel or maintanance reminders on 12/18/2023. Only lasted 10 minutes but was concerning. car is out of warranty 42,000 miles , lots reports of same thing on HRV forum, goes all the way back 8 years honda was aware of this problem, last inspection was in 2021. This happened without warning and means you dont known how much gas is in car, when to change oil and other maintanance items. Told this is a liability problem, hoping Honda will issue a recall fix, other wise will have to live with it. Only a dealer can resolve this problem due to odometer reading being reset other wise would fix it myself. I have not been back to the dealer yet.

It was a cold evening. I was driving on the highway for roughly 15 minutes, with rear defroster on, when the rear windshield shattered spontaneously, with enough force to send pieces of glass into the back seat. There was a loud thud when it happened. There were no warnings by the vehicle. Police inspected the vehicle and said it was not caused by any external objects.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My car was parked at parking lot while I bought groceries after I went back into my car since I put the groceries on the passenger side of me I closed my door. Then I heard a loud noise of glass breaking and I turned around my rear window was shattered and nothing hit my window nor someone broke into it since as I mentioned it was fine before I went in and when I walked passed my rear window to get into my car then it randomly shattered. This is super concerning especially hearing this didnt just happen to me. Honda needs to do something asap because Honda is not living up to their standard as they say they do.

It was a cold morning in Georgia. I warmed up my car and waited for the ice to melt like I always do. This morning, the ice melted like it normally does and I drove home. Once I got home, I climbed out of my car and heard my rear windshield shatter

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Instrument gauge cluster circuit holders are failing. As a result, the odometer screen, screen for oil and gas do not light up. This is dangerous as you are unable to know when you need to fill up or if your car has enough oil. It can result in running out of gas in an unsafe location or ceasing the engine.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:ELECTRICAL HEATING ELEMENT
About 10am in Dec 14th, there was something is broken sound after closing my car door, and when I turn around to check what happened, the rear windshield of car is shartted. It's obviously to see the cracks is started from sides. And excluding the man-made and natural possibilities, I think it is the bad quality of rear for vehicle. Before founding this component, my car is normally working on the night of Dec 13th. I only opened “rear” to heat in order to get a better rear view. And then I parked in front of my house. The only one factor I can ensure causing this in my mind is the problems with the quality and with the rear system. Never a car window is easily shattered because of heat rear. Although it’s no hurt happened, the bad quality of rear windshield is probably increase dangerous level if the vehicle is heated rear during a rainy day while driving. Before the rear windshield is shattered, about a week ago, the rear system seems not working to remove mist well. I had reported this situation to insurance and the dealer, but the dealer think it’s caused by natural reason or man-made. And all the repair fee is paid by myself, I don’t think it’s reasonable, and they told me they cannot replace the glass as soon as possible because it’s back-ordered. It makes huge inconvenience to me. (Hope to report this as a record if Honda can realize a “small” but big issue later)
